The group's clamor instantly made Su Han realize this was indeed a bandit's den running a honey trap.
But looking at the setup!
Su Han immediately understood what the "Flower Fox" meant by asking him to be her husband – it meant becoming one of these guys!
"One, two, three, four... Tsk tsk tsk, I say, Flower Fox, you already have so many husbands, why do you need one more like me? With so many people to feed, can your small business even support them?" Su Han asked. After all, operational costs were also an issue. With so many people to feed, relying on the Flower Fox alone to attract business probably wouldn't yield much.
As expected!
Su Han had hit a sore spot. The Flower Fox was indeed having trouble supporting these guys.
So, she wanted to streamline the team and find three to five strong, vigorous fellows to be her husbands!
"Hmph, you don't need to worry about these things. Just answer me! Also, I'm reminding you, this Spirit Beast City strictly prohibits seducing other people's wives. If you get caught, do you know how the City Lord will deal with you?"
Su Han blinked, finally understanding why the Flower Fox was so brazen – there were rules in place!
"Tell me!"
The Flower Fox immediately continued, "Heh heh, if the City Lord discovers you're seducing someone else's wife, you'll be immediately executed by the City Lord, and your corpse will be hung at the city gate for three months. How about it, do you want to try?"
Su Han spread his hands, "So, you're saying I have no choice?"
The Flower Fox said, "Of course. As soon as I make a sound, you'll be arrested immediately. We've already bribed the stewards outside. The moment you're caught, the City Lord, he hasn't killed anyone in a long time..."
Su Han was stunned. Before coming here, he had heard that the City Lord here was a pervert. His wife had run off with someone else years ago, so he was particularly resentful of those who seduced other men's wives, which led to this rule.
And the Flower Fox and her group were exploiting these rules to do a little business here!
"Alright, Flower Fox, since that's the case, I won't hide it from you anymore. Actually, I'm here to go to the Spirit Realm City. With my strength, the City Lord here can't stop me."
"Ha, such big talk!"
The Flower Fox immediately looked disdainful and was about to order her subordinates to beat Su Han up and teach him a lesson.
But unfortunately.
Just as she was about to give the order, an extremely luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance!
Then, the entire inn erupted!
"This... Greetings, City Lord!"
"The City Lord's arrival at my humble abode brings great honor!"
"We pay our respects to the City Lord..."
Everyone present, without exception, prostrated themselves. However, this distinguished City Lord paid them no mind, instead bowing respectfully towards the second floor.
"City Lord of Spirit Beast City, Mo Ya, pays respects to Your Excellency the Emperor. If there are any shortcomings in our hospitality towards Your Excellency in Spirit Beast City, please forgive us."
Mo Ya?
Su Han was suddenly puzzled, recalling the Marquis of Goat Mo Yang whom he had met before, and wondered if they were related.
But as soon as the person appeared, Su Han immediately realized his guess might be correct. The person looked very sorrowful, with graying hair, appearing to be in his fifties or sixties.
What made Su Han most uncomfortable was that he looked very much like Mo Yang.
"We pay our respects to the Emperor!"
Once again, Mo Ya bowed to Su Han!
At this moment, Su Han slightly nodded, indicating he understood.
Gulp.
Seeing this situation, the Flower Fox and the others behind her were completely stunned. They never expected that their attempt at a honey trap would be against an Emperor.
Especially the Flower Fox, who had almost gotten together with this Emperor just moments ago!
Thinking of this, the Flower Fox even felt a thrill, finding it incredibly exciting. But now, she was about to make a run for it!
"Damn it, this kid is actually an Emperor. Good heavens, did I step on dog excrement today? Why am I so unlucky!"
As she muttered, the Flower Fox suddenly saw Su Han beckoning Mo Ya from below to come up for a chat, saying there was wine and food for a small gathering.
"This..."
Mo Ya was instantly dumbfounded. The wine and food she had prepared were for Su Han, and they contained not only sleeping potions but also other substances like soul-scattering powder. The consequences for ordinary people who consumed them would be unimaginable.
"Hey, hey, kid, you!"
The Flower Fox still wanted to stop him, but she found that City Lord Mo Ya had already walked in and sat down at a small table nearby.
"Hahaha, I never expected Your Excellency the Emperor to be so young. I've heard many rumors about you, from venturing far with the Third Princess of the Snow Clan in the past, to more recent events like turning the tide at the Green Stone Sect. Truly, a hero emerges from youth, which makes me look at you with new eyes!"
Mo Ya's words instantly shocked Su Han. Setting aside everything else, the news from Spirit Beast City was indeed extremely well-informed. Su Han had just arrived from the Green Stone Sect, and the news had already spread.
Among these, the Thousand Mile Landscape Painting was the key detail, and Su Han figured Mo Ya must already know about it.
"City Lord, you flatter me. I'm just paving the way when I encounter mountains and building bridges when I meet rivers, doing some insignificant little things. Unlike you, City Lord, who manages so many people every day and can summon the wind and rain at will..."
After some light banter, the two began to eat.
Su Han felt nothing, as he had an immunity to all poisons. Mo Ya, however, felt something peculiar after taking a bite!
Looking around, he immediately understood what was happening!
"Hmph, Flower Fox, it's you again! You've run into a tough opponent this time, daring to act against the Emperor. I think you're tired of living!"
As he spoke, City Lord Mo Ya immediately waved his hand, intending to finish off the Flower Fox.
But at this moment.
Su Han stopped him and said, "Hey, hey, City Lord, just enjoy your drink. If she dies now, who will pour us wine."
"Hahaha, the Emperor speaks wisely!"
The two chatted happily. Suddenly, after several rounds of wine and dishes, Mo Ya finally asked.
"I heard that Your Excellency the Emperor comes from another world. In fact, my younger brother, Mo Yang, also went to your place some time ago, but after a long time, I haven't heard any news of him..."
Gulp!
Su Han actually wanted to say that Mo Yang was crippled and was working as a laborer on Blue Star. Although he wasn't dead, his strength was completely destroyed, turning him into a cripple.
However, Mo Yang was harmed by him, and he knew that if he said it, Mo Ya wouldn't let it go.
But suddenly, seeing Su Han's hesitation, Mo Ya immediately said something that shocked Su Han immensely!
