Lord Xue Ying

The Liu Zhen Restaurant spanned along the street for up to two kilometers long. Pavilion by pavilion lined up the entire place in neat, orderly rows. Over here, throngs of customers could be found flooding the area–the atmosphere was truly bustling with excitement.

“Prince Xue Ying, you haven’t come for a long time. Come in quickly. Shall I arrange for the Auxiliary Gentleman Pavilion?” A manager of the restaurant immediately went forward to receive Xue Ying. After all, in terms of identity, this Little Prince Ying Shan Xue Ying was ranked at the frontmost across the entire Ardent Fire City. If he were to offend this little prince, the whole restaurant might have to shut down.

Within one of the pavilions in the entire restaurant, the ‘Auxiliary Gentleman Pavilion’, the carriages and dragon beasts were arranged to wait there. Xue Ying had also bought large buckets filled with fruits and meat for the creatures to eat.

Above the Auxiliary Gentleman Pavilion.

Xue Ying sat with Elder Tian, and the nine personal guards were split evenly across two tables by the side. The two Black Stream Cloud Wolves similarly had delicious food to enjoy.

“This Liu Zhen Restaurant is barely ranked in the top hundred, yet I like them the most.” Xue Ying ate to his heart’s content. A powerful cultivator ate purely to enjoy its taste. After all, it was a minor matter for a cultivator not to eat for trillions of years.

The female attendants were like clouds; they sent up the dishes one after another.

These female attendants were usually World Deities or True Gods. It was not easy for them to find a job with their strength in the Ardent Fire City; they could merely act as servants. Only after they broke through to the Void God realm could they barely do some of the ‘harder’ tasks.

…

After eating for an hour, Xue Ying’s entire body oozed of sweat. He felt blissful. Xue Ying gradually stopped and began enjoying sips of wine instead. He was also enjoying the scenery of the streets through the windows.

“Mn?” Xue Ying suddenly looked up and stared at a distant location. This was an area about a dozen kilometers away. At that moment, Xue Ying frowned slightly.

“Prince?” Elder Tian asked.

“I’ve finished eating. It is time to leave.” Xue Ying stood up.

Elder Tian, the two Black Stream Cloud Wolves, and his personal guards had already eaten to their fill; they all stood up on Xue Ying’s signal for departure.

******

At a street about a dozen kilometers away.

There was a luxurious carriage arcing through the sky. This carriage was pulled by a total of eight violet-gold dragon beasts. There were even a dozen beautiful female attendants surrounding the carriage. Everywhere it passed, cultivators would move away for this carriage. None dared to look up because those who lived in the Ardent Fire City for a slightly longer period would know this was the carriage of ‘Chun Yu Feng’, the master of the Misty Cloud Pavilion.

Being the master of the most significant squandering establishment in the entire Ardent Fire City, Chun Yu Feng naturally had a high status. He was absolutely someone famous in the Ardent Fire City, and a majority of the aristocratic clan disciples did not even dare to offend him, much less the commoners.

Within the luxurious carriage.

The carriage was merely a few meters as seen from outside, yet it was tens of meters within.

Two plump males were seated next to each other. They were being served by beauties. One of them was naturally Chun Yu Feng. His face was filled with smiles, causing others to feel as if they were bathed by the spring wind. On the other side, the plump male was quite tall and big, and he emitted a terrifying somber aura. There was black aura coming out from his nose between his breaths. The beauties by his side were all slightly trembling with fear.

“Brother Qian, this time, I’ll have to trouble you to send me more commodities.” Chun Yu Feng bitterly said, “I do not have enough commodities, which would make my business really tough to operate in the future.”

“There isn’t enough commodities to be distributed according to everyone’s wishes. This allocation will naturally offend everyone.” That plump gigantic male nonchalantly said.

“I know Brother Qian is having a hard time too, and I naturally will not let Brother Qian suffer from losses.” Chun Yu Feng passionately said.

“No rush.” That plump gigantic male remained indifferent.

“Yes yes yes, come, come and have a taste of this Heavenly Dawn Spiritual Wine. This is a really fragrant wine which our king brewed after leaving the Realm Heart Great Land and discovering the ‘Heavenly God Dawn Tree’ from the neighboring primal chaos void. I had a hard time trying to get this amount.” Chun Yu Feng waved his hand. A half-translucent wine flask appeared in front. One could see the wine glowing in green swishing about through the flask. This flask directly flew onto the table in front of that plump gigantic male.

“Oh, Heavenly Dawn Spiritual Wine?” Only then did this plump male reveal a grin.

“Good wine, good wine.” That plump male seemed to be delighted. As he drank, he would look out at the streets. Even though this carriage was sealed, and outside couldn’t see through the walls, it was possible for those inside to see the scenery outside.

Enjoying beauties serving him while drinking wine, this plump male felt in bliss. Suddenly, his expression slightly changed.

“That is–”

That plump male saw a pair of commoners by the side of the streets. That girl was just a True God, but red divine imprints were starting to rotate in the eyes of that plump male. He could not help but feel delight racing through his heart, ‘This spiritual light emitted by the soul is so concentrated. It is truly a good medicinal lure! Tsk tsk, and it got discovered by me.’

“Stop.” The plump male said.

“Quickly stop the carriage.” Chun Yu Feng immediately announced with a loud voice. The carriage stopped rapidly, and only then did Chun Yu Feng accompany with a laugh: “Brother Qian, what’s the matter?”

“That girl.” The plump male pointed out to the distant streets, “That one who wears a violet gown with a jade hairpin on her head.” He did not wait to condense an illusionary figure of that girl.

“I want this girl.” The plump male said.

Chun Yu Feng looked afar. His information network within the Ardent Fire City was fast. Even though there were not that few aristocratic clan disciples, there were not too many of them either. He recognized all of them and knew with a glance that this girl came from a common background. Even if she was from an aristocratic clan, her status as a True God must be low.

“Brother Qian, rest assured, I’ll immediately grab her over.” Chun Yu Feng chuckled.

That plump male nodded.

He was an outsider, and it was not appropriate for him to conduct such acts. But it was simple for Chun Yu Feng to do so.

…

Yan Wen and his daughter had seen that luxurious carriage in midair a long time ago and recognized that it belonged to the Misty Cloud Pavilion Master. They naturally evaded to the side.

Nevertheless, that carriage sped downwards, stopping not far away from this pair of father and daughter.

The door to the carriage was lifted open, revealing two plump males being served by beauties within. Of which, the Misty Cloud Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng looked downwards. That pair of small eyes were extremely cold and had landed on the figures of Yan Wen and his daughter: “Bring that girl over.”

“Yes.” The female attendants outside the carriage all had extraordinary strength.

At that moment, two Unity realm attendant female rushed down.

“Mercy! Misty Cloud Pavilion Master, please spare this little girl.” That middleaged male, ‘Yan Wen’, immediately knelt down to beg, “I am a pill alchemist from the medicinal hall of Yan Clan, and do hope for sirs to spare this girl.” The girl by the side, Yan Yu, knelt down in terror similarly.

“Hmph,” Chun Yu Feng coldly snorted. He swept his cold gaze across the two father and daughter and was too lazy to speak.

Yan Wen felt panicked, and his heart was in a mess.

He was clear that even if he was the master of the medicinal hall, that identity was insufficient when compared to this Misty Cloud Pavilion Master, much less when he was merely a pill alchemist.

“Father.” Yan Yu was also incredibly anxious. What would the outcome be if she were to fall in the hands of the Misty Cloud Pavilion Master? If she was lucky, she might just be toyed with by the guests of the Misty Cloud Pavilion. If she wasn’t, she might just be ravaged to death.

“Shua.”

A figure suddenly appeared in midair. He was a gray-robed old man. The gray-robed old man appeared in front of the kneeling father and daughter. With a wave of his hand, ‘hong–’a void fluctuation struck the two Unity realm female attendants who were rushing down.

“Tian Yi Zhi?” The Misty Cloud Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng looked down with his cold glance. He saw that gray-robed old man and could not help but frown. He recognized this person as an honored guest of Marquis Ardent Fire.

At this moment.

A carriage arced through the sky over. A handsome young man was seated on it. Two Black Stream Cloud Wolves were lying by his side with nine solemn personal guards emitting a grim and cold aura.

“Pavilion Master Chun Yu, why, are you thinking of snatching my servant too?” That handsome male sat there. He lightly caressed the glossy and smooth back hair of the Black Stream Cloud Wolf and nonchalantly said. His voice reverberated in midair, and many cultivators who stood around the street did not dare to speak.

“Prince Xue Ying?” A smile appeared on the face of Pavilion Master Chun Yu, though he was slightly frowning at the plump male by his side.

That plump male stared back at the distant Xue Ying with a cold gaze.

Xue Ying was similarly staring at that plump male.
