After the three of them changed clothes, they left the coast and set foot on the yellow earth.
"Your Majesty, we've reached the mainland. Where should we go next?" Evil Tiger asked.
Xiao Bai also looked over, seeming a little lost.
"First, let's go to nearby Vast Sea City for something to eat and buy a few sets of new clothes to spruce ourselves up. The clothes we're wearing are too ugly."
"Also, Evil Tiger, you need to get used to what it means to be human. We've already blended into the human world, so you need to act more like a person."
"I'll think about what to do next along the way," Ye Wen said.
Xiao Bai had often been around humans while living near Sea God Island, so she would have no trouble fitting in. Evil Tiger was different. He was like a beast wearing human skin, with none of the manners or behavior of a human.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transforming into human form could be detected by experts at the Titled Douluo level. Someone like Evil Tiger would stand out far too much.
Ye Wen wasn't afraid, but he still didn't want to reveal his Soul Beast identity too soon.
"That's great, Your Majesty! Xiao Bai was just thinking about going to a human city to spruce herself up. These clothes are so ugly." Xiao Bai was thrilled. Girls loved looking pretty and dressing up, and especially in her brand-new human body, she wanted to take good care of her appearance.
"From now on, you two can call me boss. Stop calling me 'Your Majesty.' That won't do in the human world. Also, we need human names. You can keep calling yourselves Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai. I'm Ye Wen," Ye Wen said.
"Your Majesty—oh, no, boss, why are you called Ye Wen?"
"Why does there have to be a reason?"
Ye Wen naturally wouldn't tell them that this was the name he'd had as a human before transmigrating.
"Let's go to Vast Sea City."
"Okay."
The three of them set off, heading toward Vast Sea City.
On the way, Ye Wen began thinking about how to suppress Tang San and stunt his growth.
Aside from Soul Rings and Soul Bones, Tang San's biggest opportunities were probably gaining the External Soul Bone that became his Eight Spider Lances, then the Immortal Herbs, the Divine Slaughter's Domain from Slaughter City, and finally the Sea God Nine Trials.
Ye Wen had to make sure Tang San took the Sea God Nine Trials. Aside from that, the biggest threats to Ye Wen were the Immortal Herb resources and the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
In particular, Tang San absolutely couldn't be allowed to obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain, since that would determine whether he had the Asura God backing him as a God King.
If Tang San lost access to the Immortal Herbs, his growth would slow dramatically. Without the Divine Slaughter's Domain and the Asura God's help, Ye Wen could practically consider the Fated Duel won already.
Of course, Tang San also had other advantages, such as the Tang Sect Secret Arts, Hidden Weapons, and the Clear Sky Sect's three great secret techniques. He still couldn't be underestimated.
Ye Wen wouldn't stop suppressing Tang San just because he had dealt with the Immortal Herb resources and the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
After thinking it over, Ye Wen had a clear direction for his plans. But first, he decided to visit Nuoding City and meet his Fated Duel opponent, Tang San. He'd grab him and give him a beating before anything else.
Ye Wen had never liked hypocrites like Tang San.
A long while later.
Ye Wen and the others finally arrived in Vast Sea City. Looking at the city surrounded by tall walls, they were all filled with anticipation.
"Let's go."
The three of them walked into the city.
Vast Sea City was the most developed coastal city in the Heaven Dou Empire. It was bustling, with people coming and going and carriages filling the streets.
The three of them each wore a different expression and felt differently.
Ye Wen had only recently transmigrated to this world, and this was his first time entering a human city. Everything was new and fascinating to him, and he wanted to learn about it all.
Xiao Bai was quite used to it. The city on Sea God Island wasn't much different from Vast Sea City. All she wanted was to buy new clothes and accessories and dress herself up.
Evil Tiger also looked curious and excited, but he seemed to be thinking about eating people.
"Evil Tiger!"
Ye Wen shot him a glare.
Evil Tiger immediately suppressed his urge to eat people and gave an awkward smile. "Sorry, boss. I couldn't help it."
As the three of them entered the city, they quickly drew plenty of looks from passersby. It wasn't for any other reason than their clothes.
Ye Wen went to find a clothing store first.
As soon as they entered, a beautiful shop assistant came over. She didn't look down on them for their ragged clothes, but smiled brightly as she asked, "You three kids, why didn't you bring an adult with you?"
"Bring what adult? I'll eat you! Ha ha ha!"
Evil Tiger tried to scare the shop assistant, gaping at her with his fingers curled like claws. With his naturally sinister appearance, he looked just like a beast, and the shop assistant was frightened.
"Damn it!"
Ye Wen's face darkened. He slapped Evil Tiger on the head. "Evil Tiger, I'm warning you one last time: watch your image!"
"Sorry, boss! I—I was wrong!" Evil Tiger hurriedly apologized, flustered.
Ye Wen let it go. Evil Tiger was new to human society, after all, so he could be forgiven. He took a Gold Soul Coin from his mouth and handed it to the shop assistant. "We'll pick out the clothes ourselves. If we don't spend the whole Gold Soul Coin, you can keep the rest as a tip."
The shop assistant was thrilled. She'd assumed they were three children from poor families, but it turned out they were hidden little rich kids!
In Douluo Continent, one Gold Soul Coin was worth ten Silver Soul Coins, ten Silver Soul Coins were worth 10,000 Copper Soul Coins, and 10,000 Copper Soul Coins were worth 10,000 yuan.
The clothes in this store cost around 500 Copper Soul Coins per set, so one Gold Soul Coin was more than enough.
"I'll take this one, this one, and this one. Wrap them up for me."
"Coming right up!"
Before long, Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai each walked out of the clothing store carrying five or six sets of clothes.
After changing into their new outfits, the three of them felt completely refreshed.
"So this is what it feels like to be rich! It's pretty great," Ye Wen exclaimed. Before transmigrating, he'd been dirt poor. He'd never enjoyed anything like this.
"Come on! Let's go eat and drink our fill!"
Right now, Ye Wen didn't want to think about anything. He just wanted to enjoy himself and experience what it was like to be loaded.
Over the next few days, he took Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai from restaurant to restaurant, shopping spree after shopping spree, and staying in fancy hotels. They spent money everywhere, as if they'd suddenly reached the peak of life.
Before they knew it, three days had passed. Ye Wen had experienced enough and had had his fun. It was time to leave Vast Sea City and get down to business.
They say you shouldn't flaunt your wealth. Their extravagant spending had also drawn the attention of local habitual criminals who made their living robbing people.
"Let's go. We're heading to Nuoding City in Fasinuo Province."
"Yes, boss!"
After three days together, Ye Wen's relationship with the other two seemed to have subtly changed. Evil Tiger was also acting more and more like a normal human.
They rented a carriage and headed straight for their destination, Nuoding City.
