The notice was brief but clear, stating that due to overcrowding in the old city, a new city was specifically developed here. However, because the construction of New City involved huge expenses, all the shops in the city would be operated by the Heavenly Realm for the next three hundred years, and none would be handed over to any outsiders from the Cultivation Realm. After three hundred years, upon fully recuperating the construction costs, these shops would gradually be rented out to outside cultivators.

This announcement made everyone explode with anger.

"This is outrageous! What is the Heavenly Realm trying to do, compete with the commoners for profits?"

"Three hundred years... Why didn't they just say three thousand years! Do they need to be so ruthless? Indeed, constructing such a city isn't a small expense, but does it really need three hundred years to recover the cost?"

"Isn't the Realm Spirit dead? Could this be a new Realm Spirit issuing these rules? Damn, why do I suddenly miss the old Realm Spirit?"

"We protest! Why are all these shops being closed off to us? In that case, we might as well build our own city!"

"Boycott New City! Calling on all friends, do not go to New City. The Heavenly Realm is too corrupt, we'll just stay in the old city!"

"Yes, do not go to New City, do not buy anything from New City, let them sell nothing!"

The cultivators from the Heavenly Realm voiced their opinions one after another, mostly filled with righteous indignation as they wildly accused the Heavenly Realm of this action as robbing them of their money.

In response, the Heavenly Realm did not react at all, adopting an attitude of total indifference.

Meanwhile, some people really harbored the idea of building their own city within the Heavenly Realm, spending a large amount of wealth to barely erect a building, only for it to be directly shattered by a sudden heavenly thunder strike that appeared out of nowhere.

Someone didn't believe in this curse and built another structure, only for it to be shattered once more.

Now, the voices of discontent were louder, but one thing was clear... no one tried to build a city in the Heavenly Realm again.

Under the leadership of several major forces, initially, not many people entered New City. Many people were just curious and left after visiting. They still preferred gathering in the old Heavenly City.

However, this situation quickly changed with the opening of the first tavern in New City.

Many were curious and wanted to know how the Heavenly Realm would operate this New City. They believed that if everyone boycotted New City, there wouldn't even be any staff for the shops!

But reality proved them wrong, terribly wrong!

On the opening day of the tavern in New City, a large number of beauties appeared at the entrance, beaming and inviting customers in with welcoming words.

"These women... where are they from?"

"Strange, how come I've never seen these people before?"

"They are not human!" Among the crowd there to see the spectacle were highly advanced cultivators who instantly realized that these women were all transformed creatures from within the Heavenly Realm!

"Not human? Then what are they?" someone curiously asked.

"They are creatures born and bred in the Heavenly Realm, transformed into humans!" someone directly pointed out the truth, saying, "I've encountered these types of creatures before. They are reclusive and hardly ever show themselves to outsiders. Only the Realm Spirit of the Heavenly Realm could command them like this."

"It seems this city is indeed a tool for the Heavenly Realm to amass wealth," another person sighed.

"Won't these creatures attack people?" someone asked doubtfully.

"No, they won't. Since they are all under the control of the Realm Spirit, the Realm Spirit would never allow them to attack people," someone in the crowd explained.

However, someone soon scoffed and said, "A bunch of uncouth creatures running a tavern and cooking for humans... this is simply... simply a huge joke! If the food is good, I'll gouge out my eyes and eat them right here!"

Everyone was startled and wanted to locate the speaker, but the person was clever enough to hide among the crowd. The voice was elusive, making it hard to pinpoint the exact location.

However, someone identified the speaker's identity: "Hehe, a steward from the Shangguan Family in the Illusion God City of the Human Layer, at their family-owned restaurant no less, hehe, probably worried about losing business, deliberately causing trouble."

The voice of this speaker was also elusive, and their location was hard to find.

But when the steward from the Shangguan Family saw his identity exposed, he stood up and sneered, "Saying those things is useless. Do you dare to try the food and drinks of this restaurant?"

"What's there to fear?" Several cultivators from the same major clans of the Heavenly Realm who were not afraid of the Shangguan Family stood up and laughed, "Steward of the Shangguan Family, why don't we go in and try together? I'm afraid you're the one who doesn't dare!"

"What a joke! You dare to eat the dishes made by a bunch of monsters?" The gaze of the steward from the Shangguan Family flickered; he seemed somewhat evasive and a bit guilty.

The fearless cultivators smirked repeatedly and directly walked toward the restaurant.

One of them looked back at the steward from the Shangguan Family and said indifferently, "If it's not possible, just admit defeat; don't pretend you can."

Another said without turning his head, "Don't worry. This is your personal action; it has nothing to do with the Shangguan Family. We will certainly not laugh at the Shangguan Family afterwards!"

The remark was clearly ironic, and everyone could tell, leading to quite a few people laughing on the spot.

The face of the steward from the Shangguan Family turned from blue to red, and clenched his teeth, "If we must taste, we will taste. I hope you all can speak with conscience!"

The previous cultivator smiled faintly, "Rest assured, if the food and drinks here are really awful, not only will we apologize publicly afterward, but we will also go to your Shangguan Family's restaurant to drink in the future in the Illusion God Realm!"

The steward from the Shangguan Family said, "It's a promise!"

Chu Mo stood among the crowd, watching this scene with a slight smile on his face, and looked somewhat sympathetically at the steward from the Shangguan Family, thinking: Although gouging out your eyes in this Illusion God Realm won't kill you, the pain is very real, not to mention having to publicly eat your own eyes... cough, how disgusting! I hope he can stomach it.

This restaurant was indeed operated by the Illusion God Realm, but all the profits produced were Chu Mo's!

Just as Ling Yuwei had said, Chu Mo had guessed their identities and had accepted this fact!

The things left to me by my mother, why shouldn't I use them? Why can't I?

Although all the clerks and female staff in this restaurant were transformed from the monsters of the Illusion God Realm, it didn't mean they had no skills or abilities!

There has always been a huge prejudice within the Cultivation Realm against these monsters, considering them to be the lowest level of beings, even inferior to Beast Cultivators.

Yes, human cultivators mostly look down on Beast Cultivators. Unless it's someone like Hu Lie, who is backed by a major clan, ordinary people dare not to take lightly. Ordinary Beast Cultivators have absolutely no status in the eyes of human cultivators.

As for these monsters... even less needs to be said.

But today, Chu Mo knew that these native monsters of the Illusion God Realm would give those human cultivators who looked down on them a huge surprise!

Sorry, a big slap in the face!
