Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 317

When the others saw Nory's reaction, they understood his excitement. Nory said to Zen, "You're right! As long as I am alive, I have a chance to avenge my father's death!"

Seeing Nory fired up immediately, Zen smiled and said, "That's right! Use that as a motivation for cultivation!"

Wurth and Sean smiled at each other. They both admired Zen's charm to encourage Nory to fight back.

"Hey! Have you eaten enough at the Mo house?" Nina scoffed as she was being ignored for a while now.

Wurth touched his fat belly, shook his head and replied, "Of course not! I haven't had a bite of food for a while. Where can we get a meal now?"

"I didn't eat anything either. Why don't we find a place to have a meal?" said Nina.

"Sounds good! Count me in!" Sean said as he raised his hands above his head.

After the battle between Zen and James, everyone was hungry and all they wanted to do was to find a restaurant to eat in.

There were many business districts in the Imperial Capital, and it would be difficult to navigate one's self in the Imperial Capital. Luckily, Nina, Wurth, and Nory all grew up in the capital and they were familiar with the business districts. In no time, they all figured out the best restaurant and headed there.

While having their meal, Nory drank a lot of wine but was still sober. The more he drank, the more active and lively he became. It had been a while since they all gathered for a meal despite all being in the Drizzle Peak. So, as they were enjoying a meal, they all chatted until midnight.

When they were about to finish, Nina's cheeks were noticeably turning red from the alcohol she consumed. She wore her long, ebony hair loose that fell on her shoulders like a waterfall. The curly bangs covered her forehead like a cloud. She looked almost like a beautiful fairy in the pictures.

Nature creatures usually had high resistance to alcohol especially when they deliberately controlled themselves.

But perhaps Nina was happy to meet Zen that she drank a little too much. The two girls who came with her had already walked behind Sean and Nory as they chatted with each other.

Meanwhile Nina and Zen walked together side by side.

Although it was already late in the evening, the nightlife in the Imperial Capital had just begun. Lanterns on the roof of the pavilions lightened the street as if it was daytime. People who walked along the road cast long shadows over the ground.

Zen could not help but notice the charming appearance of Nina and her beautiful face under the moonlight. He felt his heart beat faster the longer he stared at her.

"Hey, you haven't answered me yet. Why didn't you come to my peak and play with me?" Nina asked again. Given Nina's noble identity, it wasn't fit for her to say such things. However, she was happy and slightly drunk at the same time – which was obviously not the right mix.

This was how Nina usually behaved when she liked someone – that guy would be stuck in her mind for a long time.

But when she was sober, she could not dare ask Zen this question. Alcohol could make Nina pluck up enough courage to speak to Zen and that was why she had too much wine that night.

When Nina asked Zen the same question a few hours ago at the Mo Mansion, he did not answer it. But this time, he had no way to avoid it.

Zen tried to come up with a good excuse but ended up saying, "Well, I've been quite busy recently, and I just forgot it."

Nina curled her lips in slight disappointment. She knew that Zen was busy cultivating martial arts, but she thought he could have lied to her just to make her feel good.

However, Nina also knew that Zen was always forthright – the character that made him stand out amongst the playboys in the city. That was what she liked about him more.

Chatting for a while, they didn't notice that they already walked so far. They continued to walk on the side of the Gold River and finally parted ways in the middle.

Both Wurth and Zen had other things to do and did not return to Cloud Sect.

Wurth had to deal with the fifty drops of the heavenly essence that Zen had commissioned him.

Last time at the Blessed Auction House, the Zhang Clan auctioned a few drops of heavenly essence. After which, many people wanted to inquire if the Zhang Clan had more heavenly essence for them to buy.

Among these people were the powerful masters living like hermits and some members of noble clans.

The heavenly essence had many uses, one of which was to improve the quality of almost all kinds of weapons.

The possession of a high-grade weapon was the lifetime pursuit of every martial artist.

However, once a weapon was built, it was impossible to upgrade it unless it was thrown into a furnace for refinement, which was almost the equivalent of building a new weapon.

Therefore, the heavenly essence was the only hope for them. But the essence was rare and hard to obtain.

When people heard that fifty drops of the heavenly essence had been bought by the elder from the Huang Clan at the price of 120, 000 cubic crystals, they all regretted not attending the public auction. If they had taken part in the public auction, the hammer price of the fifty drops of heavenly essence would have been pushed up higher.

Since Zen commissioned Wurth to auction fifty drops of the heavenly essence, Wurth did much advance publicity. The more affluent people participated in the auction, the higher the transaction price would be.

As Wurth came back to the Blessed Auction House, he began to deal with the heavenly essence.

Although the Zhang Clan did not assess the fighting ability of its members, there were high demands for business skills to all the children.
