YM778.TV Chapter 137: A Pervert
All of them were dressed in fine clothes and had relatively reserved expressions on their faces, glancing momentarily at David\'s group before continuing on their way.
Unknowingly, David and his group were only a few kilometers away from the city.
At this time, Sylvie suddenly stopped in mid-air and shouted.
"Stop! Are you trying to get me killed?"
She looked at the still flying David and Mary with an incredulous expression on her face.
After hearing her panicked shout, David stopped, purple thunder continuing to crackle around him like slithering snakes.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at her for an explanation.
Meanwhile, Mary\'s eyes flashed with understanding as she scanned her surroundings.
Witnessing the look which David was giving her, an appalled expression appeared on her face.
David might not know it, but Sylvie knew and understood one thing clearly.
Flying around Nightblade City was strictly prohibited. Even the Void Refining experts had to follow this rule.
Of course, they could ignore the rule and fly, but that would result in immediate death.
As the formation protecting the city would shoot down anything flying above the city\'s air space.
This was also the reason why Sylvie panicked so much.
However, David wasn\'t stupid, and after looking at his surroundings for a moment and coupled with Sylvie\'s reaction, he understood everything.
Around David, there was not a single cultivator other than his group; most of them descended towards the ground once they were close to David\'s group.
David gave Sylvie a look and didn\'t say anything but silently started to move toward the ground.
Mary and Sylvie wordlessly followed behind him.
Just as they landed on the ground, Borrito climbed on top of Mary\'s shoulders and looked at Sylvie with anger in his small beady eyes.
"You, what is your name, girl?"
"Are you trying to court Death?"
Borrito tried to look as menacing as possible as he uttered those words.
Sylvie glanced at the arrogant duckling with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
In the next second, she walked toward Borrito and patted his small head. "What kind of creature is this?" Her question seemed to have been directed towards Mary as she said in a low voice.
Mary\'s big eyes suddenly widened at her question, and she was momentarily lost for words.
She had no idea what kind of creature Borrito was. Therefore, she didn\'t know how to answer Sylvie\'s question.
Mary could only look at David for an answer; Sylvie also followed her gaze.
"Get your filthy hands away from me, you stupid girl." Sylvie continued to rub Borrito\'s head; the little duck tried to push her hand away but failed miserably.
David noticed their gaze filled with curiosity, and in the next moment, his expression also turned solemn.
The atmosphere also made Borrito look at David with expectations.
"Fine! I will tell you, but you will have to pay a huge price." David said, his voice barely audible as if he was afraid of nearby cultivators eavesdropping.
"What price?" Sylvie asked in an unsure voice, not expecting the atmosphere to suddenly turn this solemn.
Hmmm!
David quietly asked the bank how much it was charging for Borrito\'s Status report.
Immediately a window popped up in front of him.
[Request for status report.]
[Target- Borrito Well-Wisher]
[Cost- One million spirit stones]
[Yes/No]
After one glance at the window, David immediately chose No and raised one finger in the air and said.
"Give me one million spirit stones and I will tell you."
Sylvie looked at David and then turned her gaze towards Mary, her face filled with confusion, wondering if she had heard his words correctly.
Similar to her, Mary was also looking at David with puzzlement.
"What do you mean?" Sylvie could only say this.
"Girl, are you stupid or do you want me to tell you everything for free?" David looked at the girl with clear disdain on his face.
"What did you just call me?" Sylvie seemed to have been angered by David\'s words.
But David paid her no heed and started to walk.
Borrito also looked satisfied and turned his gaze away from the girl.
Soon Sylvie was left behind; she could only stomp her feet in anger and try to catch up with them.
"Only if Lyla was here..."
In the end, Sylvie sighed and thought, if she was here, Lyla would definitely teach this black-haired bastard a lesson.
David walked at a slow pace while looking at his surroundings with interest.
Small shops filled with various exotic items had started to appear.
They resorted to all sorts of tricks to attract the passing cultivators\' attention.
David even found an almost naked lady standing in front of a pill shop, sending flirtatious glances to the hot-blooded cultivators passing by.
Young and inexperienced, these cultivators weren\'t able to resist.
Although there were so many people, the air seemed to be filled with an aromatic smell that seemed to calm one\'s mind.
All in all, the surroundings were filled with a joyous atmosphere.
"This is the poor people of Nightblade City."
At this time, Sylvie, who seemed to have somewhat recovered, spoke. By David\'s earlier actions, she had guessed he wasn\'t familiar with the city and explained.
David didn\'t interrupt her and waited for her to continue.
Even the usually lively Borrito fell silent.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Sylvie cleared her throat and spoke.
Even though Nightblade City is a highly prosperous city, the entrance fee is something which many people can\'t afford.
"So in order to reduce their losses, the merchants have set up an informal market outside the city."
David was surprised, not understanding why the authorities would let such a thing happen.
But anyway, not that he had anything to do with it.
David and his group walked with Sylvie explaining some things from time to time.
"Oh! This is a Scene Essence Lotus, helpful in strengthening a cultivator\'s butao energy."
"This is a Three Diagram of Heavenly body..."
"That is..."
Sylvie was like an encyclopedia; it didn\'t matter what the group pointed at, she would explain everything about it without missing a beat.
Unconsciously, the way David looked at her changed, and a light of admiration appeared in his eyes.
Suddenly he had an urge to take a look at her status.
[Request for status report.]
[Target- Sylvie Goldhammer]
[Cost- 100,000 spirit stones]
[Yes/No]
Without hesitating, David paid the required amount to the bank, and a flashy window appeared in front of him.

David was surprised to find a positive remark by the bank with such low stats.
After taking a look at her status, he also took a look at his own status.

Remark: Congratulations on your successful breakthrough, but please don\'t forget about the bank.]
After taking one look, he sighed. Since his breakthrough, the spiritual space had barely grown.
It had not grown at all; David didn\'t like the stagnating numbers one bit.
Sylvie looked at the black-haired young man in front of her and frowned.
"What is wrong with this guy?"
He had suddenly stopped in the middle of the street and started to look in the air in a daze.
Curious, Sylvie followed David\'s line of sight to see what he was looking at.
A beautiful looking but almost naked woman was in her line of sight.
Suddenly her face turned red, and she hurriedly turned her head away and said in a low voice.
"Pervert!"
David was too busy in his world to care about her words.
On the other hand, Mary, who was used to David looking in the air with a dazed expression on his face, giggled.
Just as David closed his status window, a notification window suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss.
Even if he died, the client will have to pay back somehow; therefore, his soul was captured. You now have the following options; keep in mind that you can only choose one.
1 - Extract Client\'s Crystallization of Life (Golden Eye, Grade - Uncommon)
2 - Extract Rio\'s memories from his birth till his death.
3 - Any item that the client owned in his lifetime.
4 - Do Nothing, let the compound interest do its thing and decide again when the Client dies in his next life.
Please note as capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana, because of which you only have two hours left to make a choice.]
