Chapter 2962: Just a Prank

“Illegal?” Hong scoffed, “Rare for a lowborn to even know the law. Let me tell you, you were the ones who broke the law first. If we shoot you dead, that’s perfectly legal too!”

But though he said that, his gaze fell on Luo Xue and the eight Spiritual Body Guards behind her.

These women were far stronger than the three cultivators at his side.

Right then, viciousness flashed in the eyes of those three women; clearly they felt that Luo Xue and the others had stolen their spotlight.

“However, I can give you a chance!” Hong narrowed his eyes suddenly.

“Oh? Then let’s hear it.” Ye Luo said curiously.

“Hand these women over to me. Not only will I spare your life, I’ll even give you a house here. How about that?” Hong said.

For an ordinary cultivator, a house here was something utterly out of reach!

“I’m afraid that won’t work. They’re all my Dao Companions.” As he finished, he pulled Luo Xue into his arms.

Luo Xue’s face flushed crimson and she immediately lowered her head.

And that sight actually stunned Hong dumb. This was what a true Fairy looked like!

“Fuck, what did you just say? They’re all your Dao Companions? What right do you have to own these women? These women are mine, got it? All mine, Hong’s! Fuck, kill this idiot for me!”

Hong immediately started cursing his head off.

Bang bang!

Right at that moment, the few bodyguards opened fire without the slightest hesitation! Clearly, just as Hong had said, Ye Luo had broken the law first, so killing Ye Luo was in line with the regulations!

However, Ye Luo didn’t resist at all. The bullets entered Ye Luo’s body, several spurts of blood mist rising at once, but harming Ye Luo was simply impossible.

In fact, if Ye Luo didn’t want to be hit by bullets, these people wouldn’t even have a chance.

He had his reason for doing this.

The next instant, he pressed the alarm button on the red key. A few drones immediately appeared in the distant sky.

Seeing the red key in Ye Luo’s hand, Hong finally panicked.

“You! How do you have that key?” he demanded at once.

“That? Naturally, they gave it to me when I bought a house here.” Ye Luo said offhandedly.

Hong was utterly aghast. “Impossible, how could a lowborn like you possibly afford a house here?”

Ye Luo shook his head with a laugh. “Your IQ is way too low. If I hadn’t bought a place here, how could I even enter this estate? Anyway, right now you’d better think about how you’re going to explain things to them. After all, you’ve broken the law.”

Hearing that, Hong’s expression turned extremely ugly.

“Drop your weapons!”

Just then, an electronic voice sounded from the drones.

The bodyguards’ faces went pale with fear. Drones were the strongest patrol enforcers in the city—how would they dare resist?

They immediately threw their weapons down.

“Come with us to undergo investigation!”

After that, Hong and his bodyguards followed the drones away. Clearly, his status wasn’t high enough to defy the drones.

Ye Luo shrugged. Ever since he began cultivation, it had been a long time since he’d pulled this kind of prank. Doing it now put him in a great mood.

“Ye Luo, this way of handling things is hardly aboveboard. If he offended you, you could’ve just killed him outright.” Luo Xue asked, puzzled.

Ye Luo let out a sigh. “Every world has its own survival rules. Killing them would be easy, but what about the consequences? We probably wouldn’t be able to gain a foothold in this city. Everything we’ve done up to now would go to waste. The Heavenly Dao is like that; so are the rules of survival.”

Luo Xue fell silent after that. Clearly, Ye Luo’s words had struck her quite deeply.

Very soon, following the guidance on the key, Ye Luo arrived in front of the villa.

Outside the courtyard was a large black iron gate, with special relief carvings on it that gave off a sense of wealth.

And outside the courtyard, a slender river encircled the place, making it feel like a paradise beyond the mortal world!

Ye Luo pressed the key and the iron gate automatically swung open. At once, a fragrant scent wafted out from the courtyard.

And a rockery came into view!

“This Cave Mansion is so much more luxurious than the Killing Sect’s deluxe Cave Mansions!” Luo Xue said in stunned amazement.

Ye Luo nodded with a smile. There were many technological elements woven into this courtyard—like the perfectly placed lighting, and some corners where Illusionary Realms were used. In fact, thanks to these tech elements, the courtyard’s space was magnified several times over.

“Come on, let’s go in and have a look.”

Ye Luo led everyone into the villa.

The villa had two floors, each with six rooms. The rooms were quite spacious; perhaps because they used different measurements, the two?hundred?plus square meters here were far larger than the same area on Earth.

In that case, it was more than enough space for all of them to live in!

Ye Luo, Luo Xue, and Shadow naturally stayed on the second floor, while the Guards lived downstairs, convenient for guarding the entire villa.

After settling the accommodations, Ye Luo stood alone in his room and opened the window, which happened to overlook the scenes within the estate behind.

He stood there for a long while, then sighed and walked out of the room.

This kingdom of technology was indeed enjoyable, but if he indulged in it too deeply, it would affect his state of mind.

Now that lodging was settled, Ye Luo felt much more at ease.

He had already decided that Luo Xue and Shadow must not be allowed to go out!

Besides, they were extremely curious about everything in this villa—especially Shadow, who stared dumbly at the TV as he watched. Ye Luo even suspected he’d already forgotten about the matter of rescuing the King of Huainan.

Just as Ye Luo was about to return to his room, the key suddenly began flashing.

Ye Luo took it out and saw that Fang Fang had sent a message!

He hadn’t expected this little girl to contact him so quickly.

Without disturbing Luo Xue and the others, he went straight out.

By now he was much more familiar with the city. Most of the vehicles on the street were driverless; all you had to do was pay with Crystal Stones or credits, and you could drive freely.

This actually piqued Ye Luo’s interest. He hadn’t driven in ages. Back then, he’d at least played around with drifting! And now, the performance of these vehicles was obviously much better!

As soon as he sat in the car, Ye Luo’s blood seemed to start boiling again. He immediately turned off the automatic mode and chose the most primitive manual mode! That was the mode he liked best.

Looking at the driverless cars around him, Ye Luo couldn’t help but smile. He then pulled up some information in the car and realized that the city’s traffic rules weren’t all that strict. After all, nearly everything was driverless now, and accidents were relatively rare!

“Since that’s the case, let’s head out.”

Then Ye Luo suddenly stamped down hard with his foot, and the car shot forward at once.
