đ Chapter 1329 - Suitability
This sect-like city with lax rules was very suitable for hiding. Moreover, Wang Baole could tell that in Tongueâs Desire City, there was no such thing as enemies.
Theoretically speaking, anyone could enter Tongueâs Desire City as long as they obtained the qualifications. Thus, the city was a mixed pond of dragons and snakes.
The more open the city was, the more people would pour in, seeking food that could raise their cultivation. With all these people desiring delicious food, the cultivators of the law of tongueâs desire would benefit greatly as well.
Perhaps this was why, although Tongueâs Desire City seemed chaotic, there was actually some sort of order within it.
Here, there wasnât much meaning in simply surviving. The truly meaningful thing was to wield enough power to protect oneself.
âInteresting.â A smile appeared on Wang Baoleâs face. The more he thought about it, the more he liked this city. Most importantly, he already had a business in this place.
âSo, whereâs the catalyst for this shop?â Blinking, Wang Baole looked at the female manager. Her originally alluring and enchanting appearance was now completely unrecognizable.
When the female manager heard Wang Baoleâs words, she shuddered and immediately patted her chest, causing a ray of red light to fly out from her body that rapidly gathered into an illusory token that floated in front of her.
This token was made up of countless runes woven together. Anyone who saw it would feel themselves hunger after it uncontrollably, as if it was a peerless delicacy unique in the world.
Even though the little fatty, the dwarf, and the burly man were all in miserable states, when they saw the token, their breathing instantly grew rapid. They seemed to be forcibly holding themselves back.
However, it was obvious that their willpower couldnât last long. If the token remained exposed, then those three would most likely lunge forward to snatch it no matter what the cost.
Glancing at their expressions, Wang Baole became thoughtful. With a wave of his right hand, the illusory token immediately flew into his grasp. The gazes focused on the token followed it as it moved.
Feeling the token with his fingers, bright light flashed through Wang Baoleâs eyes. From his perspective, this so-called catalyst⌠was actually a much smaller version of a Dao Seed.
However, even ten thousand of these catalysts couldnât compare to a true Dao Seed. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe this thing as merely a Dao Thread.
But even so, this Dao Thread could connect people with the law of tongueâs desire, granting them the qualifications to cultivate it. If the law of tongueâs desire was compared to a vast river, then this Dao Thread was akin to a tiny sapling whose roots were connected to the river.
Unfortunately, because of the limitations of the sapling itself, it was difficult to absorb much water from the river.
The female manager had become visibly weaker due to the extraction of the catalyst. But although there was no longer a catalyst in her body, she had cultivated the law tongueâs desire for a long time already. Wang Baole could tell that she would be able to continue gaining insights, albeit at a much slower rate.
âIt seems that this worldâs cultivation is all based on Dao Seeds.â Wang Baole thought of the laws of joy and earâs desire, which he had obtained through similar methods.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Baole clenched his right hand, and the token containing the law of tongueâs desire melted into his palm. It swam around his body for a while before settling in his dantian as a tiny vortex the size of a fingernail.
As soon as this vortex appeared, Wang Baole felt an extreme hunger well up within his body. It was as if even if there were mountains and seas of food in front of him, he could swallow up everything without a problem.
And if he couldnât find food to resolve this hunger, the only way to restrain it would be to sacrifice his own life force.
It was almost impossible to suppress this sudden feeling, and an ordinary person might immediately be driven insane. However, it wasnât too much for Wang Baole; after patting his stomach slightly, he lifted his head and smiled faintly at the female manager.
Seeing his smile, the female manager trembled violently. Disbelief was apparent in her eyes as she immediately knelt down and kowtowed in fear. She tried to speak, but her words died in her throat.
In fact, when she handed over the catalyst just now, her heart had held some illusory hopes. Although she knew about the side effects of fusing with the catalyst, she had intentionally refrained from speaking, thinking that she might be able to reverse the situation.
After all, outsiders wouldnât know what would happen once they fused with the catalyst. To a certain extent, this was a well-kept secret in Tongueâs Desire City.
The female manager herself had been warned before obtaining the catalyst, but even then, she had almost suffered a backlash. Therefore, she had believed that no matter how powerful this man in front of her was, he wouldnât be able to escape unharmed. At that time, when he was reeling from the backlash, she would be able to turn the tables.
However, she didnât expect that the other party would be completely unaffected. Now, her hope was completely shattered. Under Wang Baoleâs gaze, all she wanted was to survive another moment.
âClean this place up. Weâll be opening as usual tomorrow.â Wang Baole withdrew his gaze and stood up. With a wave of his hand, four restrictions flew out and entered the four employeesâ bodies, ensuring that he could decide their life and death with a single thought. Stretching luxuriously, he headed toward the stairs and walked up to the second floor.
The first floor of this shop was a restaurant, and the second floor was a residential area. Before opening the door to the master bedroom, Wang Baoleâs voice suddenly rang out.
âI like listening to music. Tonight, you will sing for me until dawn.â With that, he disappeared into the master bedroom.
Downstairs, the four employees all looked at each other helplessly. After a moment, the dwarf suddenly leaped over to the little fatty and slapped him in the face.
Throwing the little fatty against the wall, the dwarf wailed on him with his fists for a while. Soon, the burly cook joined him and delivered a swift kick, causing the little fatty to cough up blood and fall over.
âYou idiot! Are your eyes just for show? How could you send such a monster into the shop!?â
The little fatty was full of grief and indignation, but he couldnât refute anything. After all⌠he was indeed the one who had taken the initiative to force Wang Baole to enter the shop.
âThe cookâs right. Your blind eyes are useless.â As the little fatty struggled to his feet, a faint voice echoed out. His expression changed drastically, and before he could dodge out of the way, the female manager appeared in front of him. She stabbed her fingers directly into the little fattyâs right eye, then viciously plucked it out.
Just as the little fatty was about to scream, the dwarf fiercely covered his mouth. Unable to make a sound, the little fatty could only tremble violently as the female manager dug out his right eye and tossed it into the dwarfâs mouth.
âTake him away and teach him a lesson.â
As the dwarf and cook dragged the little fatty away, the female manager sighed softly. Sitting down to the side, she began to sing.
Her song was full of hatred and resentment, but at the same time, contained a deep helplessness. It echoed in the shop for a long timeâŚ
Inside the master bedroom, Wang Baoleâs face was cold and expressionless as he sat cross-legged in meditation.
In this world, filled with morbid desires, it was necessary to be more vicious and savage than others.
