Maxwell himself didn't know that he was only about a hundred meters away from Constantine and had lost the chance for a reunion.
Maxwell was holding onto Arianna as he ran towards another street.
As for Constantine, it was as if he were on some sort of steroids and fought all over the place. He managed to defeat the Baby Cradle Gang in a single night.
Maxwell was never afraid of trouble.
But his decision to run away was based on calm reasoning.
After entering the Capital City, he realised this place wasn't simple at all. Even a chef had a cultivation level at the Gold rank. Now, he was wondering what kind of place the Capital City really was.
He was carrying Arianna with him while running crazily. Once again, they ran past several streets before stopping at the eaves of someone's house.
Arianna was so tired that she fell asleep on Maxwell's shoulder.
There was a slight pout to her lips, and her nose was fluctuating slightly from her breathing, showing she had fallen into a deep sleep. Her hands were grabbing onto Maxwell tightly, and her legs had wrapped themselves around his waist. Her entire body was like an octopus holding onto Maxwell tightly.
It looked like she was afraid Maxwell would dump her off somewhere while she was asleep.
Maxwell was also tired. Leaning against the wall below the eaves, he too fell asleep.
The first night coming to the Capital City, they were sleeping on the streets.
So cruel!
The craziest thing was that beside Maxwell was a Princess running away from her marriage.
This was something Maxwell would never dream of happening.

The eastern sky started getting bright.
Morning, people on the streets started increasing.
Many people were walking on the streets, but not many of them paid attention to Maxwell and Arianna. The reason was that there were too many people sleeping on the streets each day. The Capital City was a place where anything was possible. One day, a person could be from a wealthy family and the next day, they could end up as a beggar living off the streets.
Not too far from the end of the street.
A lot of people were surrounding something!
They weren't surrounding a person sleeping on the streets, but surrounding a person kneeling.
Someone was selling themselves!
And it was a guy who was selling himself.
Beside him was a sword stabbed into the ground. The sword was quite large and broad, and the blade was covered in rust. It looked no different than a piece of junk.
The man looked very strong and tall.
The thin clothing on his body revealed his bulky muscles filled with explosive power. While he was kneeling, his height was the same as the length of his sword, which was stabbed into the ground. He gave off a feeling that he, too, was as deadly as a sword.
He and his broadsword were like a set.
Except...
He seemed to be even rustier than his broadsword. He looked completely miserable, his clothes were in tatters, his hair was scattered wildly about, and the stench from his body was disgusting. One could easily guess that he hadn't bathed for over half a month.
Of course...
For a person who hadn't eaten for ten days, bathing was simply a nonexistent issue.
Kneeling behind a sign was the words "Selling Myself; Selling My Sword."
The guy's eyes still had spirit in them as his head was slightly raised. Even though he was kneeling there, he still managed to exude an innate born arrogance.
"Selling such a worn-out sword... Isn't that a bit too shameful?"
"What kind of trashy toy is that?"
"What's your cultivation level? Can I use you to kill people if I buy you?"
"Looking at his miserable image, isn't he just a beggar? Who knows where he grabbed that broken sword from? Selling yourself and selling the sword? I think it'll be more realistic to earn some money by barking like a dog to entertain us."
"Hahaha..."
"Haha..."
The crowd started laughing loudly.
The man's gaze didn't change at all, as if he didn't hear those words ridiculing him.
Around the same time...
"Why is it so noisy?"
"Who is interrupting this Princess's sleep? Careful that I cut your head off." Arianna mumbled while stretching her waist.
Her eyes slowly opened.
She realised a pair of eyes was staring back at her, and it was only about a centimetre away.
Those two were looking at each other, and their mouths were almost touching.
Arianna shrank back in shock before pointing at Maxwell and angrily shouting: "What are you doing?! You dare to disrespect this Princess, this, this, this Miss? Do you believe I'll start screaming!"
"I believe!"
"Isn't it having your Ninth brother's idol beat me until I have to pick up my own teeth? I believe it!" Maxwell was too lazy to listen to her rambling. His whole body was aching, and he couldn't help gasping from the pain.
Arianna was startled and asked, "What's going on with you? Aren't you an expert at level 2 diamond rank? How can a single night make you so tired-looking?"
"Screw you!"
"If you have the guts, let me sit on you and crush you the entire night and see how you'd feel," Maxwell said unhappily.
Arianna giggled embarrassingly and said, "So I've crushed you an entire night, how come I didn't know? Since you took good care of this Miss, then when Ninth brother's idol beats you up, I'll have him soften his blows."
Maxwell rolled his eyes at her and stood up to exercise his body a bit.
He didn't move the whole night since he was afraid he'd wake Arianna up, so he maintained his position the whole night. He didn't even want to mention how much his legs ached right now.
After moving around for a bit, blood was flowing smoothly once again, and his aches lessened a lot.
"Let's go over there to take a look!"
"You see how many people are gathered around there? It must be something really fun!" Arianna didn't wait for Maxwell's agreement and had already run off.
Maxwell heavily exhaled and could only follow her.

"Hey, are you a mute?"
"I'm asking you a question!"
"You damn beggar, what kind of game are you trying to play here?"
"Are you selling yourself? Looking at your body, it shouldn't be too bad if you worked at a kiln."
Some people in the crowd were scolding him, while some were ridiculing him again.
The guy maintained his originally emotionless expression.
As Maxwell and Arianna approached, Maxwell was irritated with the taunting he heard from the crowd.
Arianna lowered herself to look at the guy.
After looking at him for a while, she mumbled, "Can we buy him?"
Just when Maxwell was about to respond...
His expression suddenly changed!
This change was similar to someone being struck by lightning. His entire person was completely shocked to the core!
"Spirit weapon?!"
"Earth weapon?!"
"Sky weapon?!"
"Or is it a legendary Divine weapon?"
It was too dazzling to the eyes!
It was incomparably dazzling to the eyes! The rusted, broken-looking broadsword gave off an eye-piercing, bright light! This bright light almost made Maxwell unable to open his eyes! It was too dazzling! Maxwell couldn't imagine this was happening. He went forward a step and got closer towards the broadsword.
At this moment...
The man made his first movement ever since he had kneeled, and that was to turn to look at Maxwell.
His eyes were crystal clear as if he wanted to see through Maxwell's soul.
Maxwell didn't continue looking at the sword and then asked seriously: "How much is your sword?"
The guy looked at Maxwell and didn't say anything.
Maxwell became anxious. He stared at the sword again and excitedly said to himself: "It is definitely above an Earth-type weapon and might even be a Divine weapon! The bright light it was giving off was too dazzling to the eyes!"
The guy still didn't say a word.
The guy's stomach was giving off a series of growling noises.
Maxwell's brows quivered, and he directly threw out a zero-space storage to Arianna. "Take one item from inside and go to the pawn shop to exchange it for some money! Don't worry about the exchange rate, just get it done quickly! Then use the money to buy as many buns as you can!"
Arianna was stunned, motionless.
Maxwell then shouted, "Quickly go!"
The blood inside Maxwell started boiling...
