The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1315 - 1116: A Thought Arises (Third Update)

The location of Black Street is deep beneath the city and is a place where filth flows freely.

The filth expelled from the main city naturally flows into underground passages.

These passages not only keep the main city clean but are also places for slaves to survive.

Not every slave has a master; the title of 'slave' means they are slaves to the entire Eight-Eyed Divine Race.

As slaves, naturally, they do not have the privilege to live above ground; the only place they can live is Black Street, this dirty underground.

Therefore, when constructing the passages, they were deliberately made larger, as if there's a city underground.

Below the ground, it's very dim, with only a few tiny ventilation openings letting in some sunlight.

The slaves of Black Street live in such conditions underground.

Whenever someone needs slaves, they are captured and sold from Black Street.

Black Street has its owners, divided into different areas, each maintained by different slave masters.

Slaves are born and brought up here, and their offspring are also slaves, serving as wealth for the slave masters.

The creatures of the Nine Heavens have no dignity here.

Lin Qian sat in the restaurant leading to Black Street's entrance, enjoying delicacies in a VIP suite.

At the same time, he envisioned what Mu Xin saw before him.

Lin Qian had left his energy on Mu Xin; even though the other party wasn't a unit specialized in reconnaissance, he could clearly see everything Mu Xin saw.

The dire conditions within Black Street are even worse than Lin Qian imagined.

Finding such a place beneath the main city filled Lin Qian with unbearable resentment and fury.

But he was helpless; for now, he couldn't act directly, only watch the native creatures of the universe suffering painfully.

Although Lin Qian's soul came from another Chaos Universe, his flesh is native to this world.

He grew up in this Chaos Universe.

"It's truly worse than beasts," Lin Qian muttered to himself, grinding his teeth as he looked at the situation within Black Street.

In the Huaxia Empire, even the soul beasts raised as livestock live a life a hundred or thousand times better than the people in Black Street.

Lin Qian sighed softly, "Sometimes, it's just so helpless."

He knew very well he couldn't act rashly now.

However, he admired Mu Xin greatly, for even though he instructed Mu Xin to randomly throw the pupil coins around, Mu Xin did it excellently.

Black Street has many dark places devoid of any light, filled with filth and sludge.

Even those used to dirty environments avoid and detest those places.

These places are cleaned only after long intervals.

Mu Xin chose these places carefully to throw soul coins, using others to distract from his actions.

With nimble hands and quick eyes, hardly anyone noticed his little moves.

Concurrently, Mu Xin moved up and down Black Street, throwing pupil coins in every corner rather than dumping them all in one place.

In fact, throwing pupil coins like Mu Xin did was what Lin Qian hoped for.

But he deliberately did not instruct this way, wanting to see if Mu Xin truly had enough intuition.

It didn't disappoint him, making Lin Qian nod approvingly.

On the road, Mu Xin took it upon himself to use a pupil coin to buy a house in the center of Black Street.

This house, shabbily built from waste materials of Spirit Wood, is a mansion to these slaves.

Mu Xin entered this "mansion" and carefully buried the pupil coins Lin Qian instructed him to the ground beneath the bed.

After completing these tasks, Mu Xin left Black Street and squatted at the wall corner on the street.

That's the rule; when the master leaves, slaves aren't allowed to walk on the road, only to squat at the street's edge.

But Mu Xin didn't squat for long before Lin Qian arrived, taking him away.

Back to the mansion, Lin Qian took Mu Xin wandering aimlessly, buying trivial toys.

Though these were mere toys, they were incredibly valuable to slaves.

Upon returning to the mansion, Mu Xin was stunned to see Lin Qian dump the items into his arms, allowing him to dispose of them himself.

"This task was handled well, I am quite pleased," Lin Qian said, patting Mu Xin's shoulder, unfazed by his filth, before turning away and disappearing.

Those items, consumables and all sorts of miscellaneous.

Mu Xin carefully stored them in the pouch Lin Qian gave him for pupil coins, and returned to his house.

After bathing, the cleanliness was comforting, and he sat at the table.

The items stored in the pouch were taken out.

Inside were exotic fruits, wine, and pastries, all enjoyed by the Eight-Eyed Divine Race.

Some even included pills.

"Bro, where did these things come from?" Mu Xin's sister exclaimed upon seeing the items on the table.

"Earlier, I went out with the master to handle tasks, and he rewarded your brother," Mu Xin said, handing a piece of pastry to his sister, "Try it, see how it tastes. It's the stuff the Eight-Eyed Divine Race can eat."

Mu Xin's sister cautiously took the finger-sized pastry in her mouth like a precious gem.

Soon, a sweet smile spread across her face, "Bro, it's so delicious."

"Good to hear!" Mu Xin smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

His sister then curiously asked, "What task did the master have you do to reward so many things?"

Mu Xin couldn't recall what exactly he did to deserve these rewards.

However, he didn't tell his sister, "That task is something your brother can't disclose; it might be very important to the master. It wouldn't be appropriate to speak of it."

"Even though you're my sister, it's not allowed."

Seeing her brother's solemn demeanor, Mu Xin's sister knew she shouldn't ask more, quickly covering her mouth.

Lin Qian naturally knew about the situation in the mansion, nodding quietly, "Remarkable aptitude and commendable character, interesting indeed."

After a series of observations, Lin Qian concluded Mu Xin was worth cultivating.

"Let's see how his actual potential is," Lin Qian thought to himself.
