《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 208: Rotten

Looking at Yun Meilan, who wore light makeup, Yun Lintian smiled and greeted. "You should dress like this often in the future."
Yun Meilan smiled faintly, and there was a hint of embarrassment on her cheeks. Unlike other women, she did not care much about her appearance. Most of the time, she would either wear a black veil or a cloak, rarely showing her face to anyone.
"Let's go up. I have opened a room for you already." Yun Meilan said and went to talk with the receptionist before bringing Yun Lintian's group upstairs.
The group walked up for a while until they arrived at the fourteenth floor. Along the way, Yun Lintian thought of creating an elevator. It was too tiresome for ordinary people to walk like this.
When they stepped into the room, Yun Lintian was amazed by the interior, as it was clean and neat without unnecessary decoration.
"Why are you choosing this inn?" Yun Lintian sat on a luxury chair and asked.
Yun Meilan sat opposite Yun Lintian and said. "On the outside, the Bai clan is mainly engaged in entertainment and accommodation business. However, according to my investigation, they are selling intelligence too. If we want to gain a foothold quickly, we need to approach the Bai clan."
"Why? Can't we just do it ourselves?" Yun Lintian did not understand Yun Meilan's approach.
"The divine city is different from other cities we have been to before. There's no true ruler here. The four major clans, Bai, Lin, Qin, and Peng, are keeping each other in check and jointly controlling the entire city. We cannot buy or sell buildings freely here. We have to go through an auction in order to get it. And naturally, the auction is controlled by them." Yun Meilan explained.

Yun Lintian immediately understood. Since there was no absolute controller in this city, everything was naturally divided among the four clans. If Yun Lintian wanted to buy a building or find a place to settle in, he would need to buy it from one of the four clans. Unless he was lucky enough to meet an independent individual willing to sell such valuable land to him.
As for the Sky Throne Profound Academy, they had always stayed neutral. However, the status of the academy's students was roughly equal to the four clans member. Perhaps, when he entered the academy and became a student, he would have a chance to get a piece of land in this city by himself.
"Why the Bai clan?" Yun Lintian asked.
"The Bai clan is the cleanest." Yun Meilan replied.
Yun Lintian nodded his head in an understanding manner. It was Yun Meilan's principle; she never interacted with an evil force. But how could someone who engages in the entertainment business be labeled as clean? Yun Lintian did not believe so. However, since she was confident the Bai clan was clean, Yun Lintian did not say anything further.
"Actually, the Qin clan is also a good choice as well. However, their main business is concentrated in medicine, which we are currently not good enough in this matter." Yun Meilan said. The Cloud Shadow team members were good at everything, but they needed to accumulate more experience regarding alchemy. Unless Yun Qingrou or Yun Lintian took the helm in opening a medicine hall.
"What about the Lin clan?" Yun Lintian asked.
His impression of the Lin clan wasn't good because of Lin Wuwei and Lin Changkong. However, he could see Lin Canghai was an incredible person. It was just that; he was too scheming mind. He simply borrowed Han Bingling's hand to get rid of his unworthy grandson, but he also saved Lin Changkong because the latter was a monarch. After all, the Lin clan still needed a monarch to stay competent.

"The Lin clan is engaging in the trading business. They look clean on the surface but rotten to the core behind the scene." Yun Meilan said. A cold light flashed across her eyes.
"Oh? Why is that?" Yun Lintian's brows raised in surprise.
"They are trading humans too." Yun Meilan said coldly.
The expressions of everyone in the room changed drastically.
"Are you sure about it?" Yun Lintian asked solemnly. What Yun Lintian hated the most in his life was human trafficking. He could tolerate other evil deeds, but not this. If the Lin clan was proved to be true as Yun Meilan said, he didn't mind exterminating them in the near future.
"During these days, we have discovered several transactions between the Lin clan and their customers. At first, we thought it was normal prostitution selling. Later, we found out they had sold some young boys and girls as well." Yun Meilan said with a cold expression. Her hands clenched into fists as she continued. "Our strength was too low to save them. Hence, we could only endure and watch those kids being sold."
A killing intent flashed across Yun Lintian's eyes. He could not imagine a nightmare experience those kids had to go through afterward. He took a deep breath and said. "All of you did the right thing. If you were to rescue them, we would lose the chance to deal with the Lin clan forever."
"The Peng clan should have something to do in this matter, too. I discovered an abnormal activity with merchant caravans. They brought so many kids along with them. I don't think these kids are their children. They were most likely got kidnapped from various places. Although they were disguised themselves very well, we could still discover they had interacted with the Peng clan's member." Yun Meilan said.
"Heh… What a good divine city." Yun Lintian chuckled coldly. He wasn't a hero who brought justice to the world, but in this matter, he could not close one eye and act like he knew nothing about it.
"Tell everyone to follow this matter closely. They can integrate with the city first, and I will look for an opportunity to buy a building when I enter the academy." Yun Lintian said with a severe expression. "Remember, don't expose yourself no matter how unbearable situation you are facing."

8 88The Traveler
Reincarnated with no information other than a single mysterious message, little Damian must survive as an infant in a world of might and magic. He’d better not get caught possessing his memories, or he might spend a thousand years suffering. Being a baby in another world is weird, disorientating, scary, disgusting, and also heartwarming. It doesn’t just happen for no reason, but the “why?” might be a harder puzzle to solve than conquering the whole entire realm. Both of those eventualities were very remote possibilities for an unusually smart baby. He was more concerned with making it to his first birthday without being damned by the gods or eaten by dangerous monster.

8 70This project has no purpose
Summary: This is the story about the life of a "human" amidst a world that only appears to be earth at first glance. Long ago the face of this world resembled the typical tales of yore; of knights and fairies, swords and magic, however such an era has come and gone. Even the world of fantasy has progressed steadily into the modern epoch filled with the wonders of science and technology! In the ancient times a certain crisis had occured that lead to the quick decline of various magical species. Due to their low population and general incompatibility with the other races they could not crossbreed to save their numbers. Left with no other choice the major races of the world gathered together in an attempt to change the fate of this dying world. Their only hope was a special 'world-tier' magic known as 'the dusk of harmony'. The result of this magic would dissolve every race into their purest essences known as 'aspect' and instill them within the human population. The humans were the best choice as their numbers were numerous and form was similar to most races. As such, the various races of this world managed to save themselves in essence and soul only, though perhaps there was no other choice. With the various humans now carrying the weight and aspects of those who came before, life has continued onto the modern age. Yet, even amongst these hybrids 'Pures' emerge from time to time, beings who have inherited not only aspects of the ancient races, but their forms too. These Pures are often times exceptionally talented and seen as near deities. This is the story of a perculiar boy who is born with the soul of a stranger from the world known as 'Earth'. With the memories and soul of a human, he too is a rare Pure; a pure human. --- This project literally has no purpose and is being written because I felt like it. There isn't any semblance of a solid direction nor have I thought about any characters aside from the main character and a few auxiliary cast. If you would like to contribute to building this world with me then please contact me through a DM or by leaving a comment, I will be sure to credit you.
