Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 800 - : Unbearable

Chapter 800 -800: Unbearable

Taiwu City, Bureau of Governance Yamen.

This martial arts Holy Land’s management structure was quite interesting. At the top was Taiwu Pavilion, which had Departments of Arms, City Defense, Governance, Arrests, Craftsmanship, Agriculture, and others, totaling thirteen departments—essentially a miniature, sternly ordered Imperial Court.

And entwined within were many martial arts sects and Noble Clans, making the internal situation immensely intricate.

Over a thousand years, it had become extremely bloated.

For instance, when Wang Chen went to the Bureau of Governance the next day to register his White Fox, he was informed that he had to go to a lower-level Yamen to complete the process. Then, when Wang Chen arrived at this Yamen, he was required to go through numerous verification and review procedures.

He had been running back and forth all morning and still hadn’t finished the procedures.

By noon, it was the Governor’s Office’s break time; he had to wait for another two hours to continue with the process.

With Wang Chen’s composure, he almost cursed out loud.

“Ha ha ha, these little rascals!”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Elder Yao laughed loudly in his mind: “So many years have passed, and it’s still the same as always.”

This Nascent Soul True Immortal clearly suffered the same frustrations in the past.

He told Wang Chen that among Taiwu City’s numerous Yamen of the thirteen departments, the one handling civil affairs at the Bureau of Governance Yamen was notoriously hard to enter, with unpleasant faces and difficult matters!

Especially for someone like Wang Chen, who had no background or influence, an outsider, they were particularly the subject of discrimination.

“You should have first gone to register your name in the Martial Rankings…”

Elder Yao advised: “Once you have an Innate ranking, those nasty little clerks in these Yamen wouldn’t dare to give you a hard time.”

“Let’s see.”

Wang Chen helplessly shook his head, found a seat in a teahouse next to the Yamen, and planned to rest there for two hours, and then go back in the afternoon to take a look.

If it really couldn’t be done, then he would proceed as Elder Yao suggested.

But he had just sat down when a sneaky-looking man in plain clothes approached him: “Young brother, do you have something you need to do inside the Bureau of Governance Yamen?”

Wang Chen was intrigued and nodded in response: “Yes, I need to register my Beast Pet.”

Saying so, he patted the White Fox in his embrace.

“What a beautiful fox.”

The man in plain clothes had already noticed the White Fox and said with a grin: “Young brother, if I’m not mistaken, you must be new to Taiwu City, right?”

Wang Chen didn’t like the man’s roundabout way of speaking: “Just say what you want to say.”

“Brother’s straightforward!”

The man in plain clothes laughed: “Young brother, these Yamen of the Bureau of Governance have deep waters. I bet you won’t finish your procedures this afternoon or even by tomorrow or the day after that!”

He spoke with great confidence: “But if you leave it to me, at most in two hours, I can help you get a Beast Taming Card!”

As expected, a member of the Scalper Party!

Wang Chen pondered for a moment, then asked: “How much?”

The man in plain clothes held up three fingers and wiggled them: “Just this number.”

Wang Chen just looked at him without saying a word.

This kind of guessing game was only meant to swindle ignorant newcomers!

After a moment of staring at each other, the man in plain clothes looked a bit sheepish and coughed before saying: “Three hundred Jade Currency.”

Wang Chen picked up the teacup on the table: “You may leave, no need to see you out.”

Three hundred Jade Currency?

Did they take him for a fool?

The man in plain clothes had a thick skin and tried to justify himself: “Young brother, you don’t understand, I need to grease palms both high and low, three hundred Jade Currency really isn’t much, if you can’t afford that, two hundred will also do.”

Wang Chen calmly sipped his tea, not even bothering to lift an eyelid.

The man in plain clothes clenched his teeth in frustration: “One hundred fifty, that’s the lowest!”

Wang Chen got annoyed: “Thirty, take it or leave it.”

Wang Chen didn’t believe this was the only scalper trying to corner the market here, and besides, he had other options.

If it wasn’t such a hassle, he wouldn’t want to spend thirty Jade Currency, let alone thirty Bone Coins!

“Thirty?”

The plainly dressed man’s eyes widened as though he was ready to fight Wang Chen to the death, “Deal!”

Wang Chen was speechless.

Elder Yao burst out laughing, “Hahaha, you paid too much!”

Wang Chen shook his head, “Forget it.”

He didn’t want to fuss over it any longer. So, he paid a deposit of ten Jade Currency upfront according to the other party’s requirements, and then handed over the previously prepared documents to the plainly dressed man, who was responsible for handling the subsequent procedures.

The plainly dressed man took the Jade Currency and the documents and immediately left.

But he didn’t run off; instead, he went straight to the Bureau of Governance’s Yamen.

The martial master guarding the gate didn’t even attempt to stop him.

Money makes the world go round, huh!

Wang Chen relaxed, sipping tea and nibbling on snacks as he waited.

He didn’t wait long, merely less than half an hour, when the plainly dressed man hurried back to the teahouse.

The scalper returned the Jade Currency and documents that Wang Chen had just given him, placing them in front of him, “Young man, I’m sorry, but I can’t take your job.”

Wang Chen took back the documents, pushing the Jade Currency forward, “Can you tell me why?”

The plainly dressed man was ready to leave, but upon seeing the Jade Currency in front of him, he swallowed hard.

He looked around, pocketed the Jade Currency with swift motions, then whispered, “Young man, some big shot has taken a fancy to your White Fox. You won’t be able to complete the procedures at the Governor’s Office.”

“So I advise you to give it up. A beast pet is just an external possession, not worth risking your life and property over!”

His last words carried significant weight and earnestness.

“Understood.”

Wang Chen nodded, “Thanks for the heads up.”

The plainly dressed man left quickly.

However, no sooner had the scalper left than another person approached Wang Chen.

“Sir, we meet again!”

It was the middle-aged man from the city gate yesterday who had wanted to buy the White Fox!

“Scram!”

Wang Chen remained seated and couldn’t be bothered to glance at the man.

The middle-aged man’s face darkened immediately, “They say, ‘refuse the toast only to drink the forfeiture.’ Since you’re so oblivious, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

He stepped back and shouted, “Come forth!”

In the next moment, over a dozen robust and agile men in green rushed over, surrounding Wang Chen completely.

The other patrons in the teahouse, sensing trouble, scattered in fear like rats deserting a sinking ship, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire!

The teahouse’s shopkeeper also hid behind the counter, too frightened to make a sound.

The middle-aged man pointed at Wang Chen and sneered, “My lads, seize this thief who has stolen the beast pet. There’s a generous reward from the master!”

“Yes!”

The green-clothed men responded loudly, converging on Wang Chen in unison.

Their coordination was seamless, their movements skilled, instantly blocking all of Wang Chen’s avenues of escape.

And at this moment, Wang Chen was asking Elder Yao, “What are the consequences of killing someone in Taiwu City?”

He wanted to kill.

Because some people are just too oppressive, and only a clean kill could bring satisfaction.

Elder Yao chuckled, “As long as you’re strong enough, there are no consequences at all!”

In the next instant, a white flash darted across!
