“All the businesses in Myriad Mountain City are monopolized by the five major forces. Does that mean that the other forces have to rely on the five major forces to survive?” Leng Ruoxue asked after some thought.

“Probably. These five forces have probably been operating in Myriad Mountain City for many years, and their forces have long been deeply rooted, so they can stand tall in Myriad Mountain City for many years without falling. Hehe, girl, don’t tell me you want to replace them?” Empty raised his eyebrows slightly and asked calmly.

“I do have this idea, but I don’t know if those bandits have the courage.” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.

“They definitely didn’t. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been living a carefree life,” the freak said in realization. In his opinion, it was not easy to make those bandits change their minds. Alas! What a waste of their aptitude!

“I’ll talk to the two butlers tomorrow. Don’t blame me for not doing anything if they still want to be like before,” Leng Ruoxue said coldly.

“It’s good to talk to them. Hopefully, they know how to take advantage of opportunities,” Empty agreed with a faint smile on his incomparably handsome face.

“Okay, we’ll rest first,” Leng Ruoxue said. Then she pulled the freak into the purple bamboo hut.

The next day.

Early in the morning, the two butlers led the bandits to the back mountain to help Leng Ruoxue and the others pack up.

It took nearly a day to finally tidy up a few decent houses.

After cleaning, the Head butler led Leng Ruoxue and the others straight to the back mountain. After leading them around, the Head butler asked anxiously, “Miss, are you satisfied?”

“It’s passable!” Leng Ruoxue looked at the bareback mountain, the few straw huts on the mountain, and then at the butler’s expectant gaze, and reluctantly said, Alas! This back mountain was really not an ordinary desolate place! The houses were actually built with straw, could they be sturdy?

“Miss, time is too tight, so we can only make do for now. However, don’t worry, I’ve already asked my subordinates to look for wood,” the Head butler promised.

“It’s okay. This house will do!” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly. They wouldn’t really stay in this room anyway.

“Miss, stay here for the time being. I’ll send someone to deliver the food,” the head butler said.

“You don’t have to worry about our food. However, I have something to tell you.” Leng Ruoxue looked at the two butlers and said.

“Uh! Miss, please say it,” the Head butler said respectfully. However, his heart was racing because he really didn’t know what Leng Ruoxue wanted to say to him. He was not confident!

“Head Butler, tell me about the situation in this village. I want to hear the truth other than what I saw.” Leng Ruoxue pulled the freak to a clean place to sit down and then said to the Head Butler.

“Erm… Erm…” The Head butler stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say.

“Miss, let me fill you in!” the second butler said.

“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded slightly.

“There are a total of more than 1500 people in our entire village. We basically rely on robbery and hunting to survive, so…” The second butler couldn’t continue because this was really too embarrassing. A mighty mystic actually went hungry. It would definitely cause people to laugh to death if news of this got out!

“Is filling your stomachs a problem?” Leng Ruoxue said without any surprise. It would be strange otherwise with so many people guarding a mountain doing nothing!

“Uh! We will occasionally starve for one or two meals,” the second butler said softly.

“Only occasionally?” Leng Ruoxue looked up gently and asked lightly.

“No, we often go hungry.” The second butler wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said honestly. Boohoo… The Miss gave him a lot of pressure. Why was that? The Miss was obviously not as strong as him.

“I don’t know why you came to Myriad Mountain City to settle down, but I can tell you that it’s really a failure for a Mystic at your level to be in such a situation,” Leng Ruoxue said honestly. Mystics’ status in the Boundless Heaven Continent was very noble. With their strength, they would receive good treatment no matter which family they joined. However, they often don’t have enough food!

“We were originally doing well, but later on, there were more and more people in the village, so…” The second butler wanted to defend himself, but he couldn’t finish his sentence.

“Are there more and more people idling around? Don’t tell me that those old people, children, and young women don’t have to work. They just have to wait for food every day?” Leng Ruoxue guessed.

“Of course they don’t have to work. Raising a family is a man’s business!” the Second Butler said matter-of-factly. He and his elder brother had the same idea on this point.

“Are their bodies so weak that they can’t do anything?” Leng Ruoxue said speechlessly. There were not many mystic cultivators among those people, but they were all spiritualists, including the children. There were also many Spiritual Deities. One had to know that the Spiritual Deity was already the strongest on the Ling Feng Continent. Why were they so weak that it became a problem to feed themselves!

“No, but they are family!” the second butler couldn’t help explaining.

“Families don’t need to feed themselves?” Leng Ruoxue was a little surprised. Well, was there something wrong with her understanding?

“It’s a man’s duty to raise a family,” the Second Butler said softly, obviously lacking in confidence.

“Is that so? Listen carefully. Since I’m in charge here now, let me tell you. From today onwards, I won’t raise them for nothing. If you want to live a good life, you have to rely on yourself.” Leng Ruoxue was a little angry and said impatiently. She really had to give it to these men’s way of thinking. They obviously couldn’t support their families, but they still liked to puff themselves up at their own cost.

“Miss, you can’t do that!” the Head butler said hurriedly.

“It is very difficult for the other forces to survive in Myriad Mountain City except for the five major forces. They are not allowed to do business in Myriad Mountain City unless they attach themselves to a particular force and become its vassal. We can’t even earn a lot of money by selling the prey we caught to the shops owned by the five major forces.” The Head Butler continued to explain. Alas! People who did not know the true situation in Myriad Mountain City would not know how difficult it was to survive on their own in Myriad Mountain City!
