Chapter 280, Colorless
: 10-21 10:19:17 Word Count: 3235

Yan Nange opened the envelope. Inside, on a pink, fragrant note, were four large characters: "As you wish."
Yan Nange's heart trembled slightly upon seeing these words. Could this Hua Wuse truly possess the ability to foresee the future? Yan Nange felt that Hua Wuse was far from simple. This further piqued his curiosity; perhaps this was the result she desired.
Yan Nange's divine sense had been searching for Hua Wuse's figure and had already "seen" her in an elegant room in a small building behind the building. She was dressed in purple, her face veiled, and she was intently painting, her deep eyes, seemingly able to see through all the world's mysteries, gleaming with a mysterious and dreamlike light.
Suddenly, she raised her head, smiled slightly in Yan Nange's direction, and a captivatingly bright light burst forth from her beautiful eyes. A sweet smile, enviable even in springtime, graced her rosy, beautiful lips. Her lips parted slightly, and Yan Nange was startled, for the words she lip-synced seemed to say: "Fool, is this all you want to do, just look?"
Yan Nange's heart surged, an indescribable feeling washing over him.
Those words...so familiar. Yes, Lingxi had called him that before. Who was she? How could she know he was looking at her, yet he couldn't sense any fluctuation of true energy within her, only a familiar feeling? Yan Nange stopped thinking and walked towards Hua Wuse's residence.
The shopkeeper had returned to the counter and was dozing. It turned out that good business wasn't always bustling.
Hua Wuse withdrew her gaze, her captivating smile still lingering on her lips.
"Are you really that good?" she murmured softly, like a gentle breeze across water.
The painting depicted distant mountains reflected in autumn waters, and her eyes mirrored those same mountains.
She knew he had entered, right beside her. It wasn't the warmth of his breath that touched her body, nor the pounding of his heart that betrayed it, but because he had come, she knew, even across mountains and rivers.
Yan Nange didn't speak, only gazing at the painting and the artist who had created it.
The painting depicted distant mountains shrouded in mist, revealing only a sliver of water, its secrets hidden and unspoken. The painting, like her, possessed a profound beauty imbued with infinite mystery; one wanted to see clearly, yet could not.
Hua Wuse's jade-like body, draped in a purple silk dress, was exquisitely alluring. With each movement, captivating curves were revealed to Yan Nange, but only for a fleeting moment; by the time she could see clearly, it had vanished.
Her body, like her, was mysterious and unpredictable, yet unforgettable, like a gentle breeze brushing across a lonely heart. The breeze had passed, vanished, but the gentle, tender feeling remained forever in the place where it had touched.
A thousand years unforgettable because of a single glance, a thousand years forgotten without time.
Hua Wuse, just like her name suggests, is beautiful not necessarily in color, but intoxicating with her subtle fragrance and elegant quality. Her beauty lies in her temperament, an unforgettable quality. She is elegant, serene, gentle, tranquil, mysterious, and sweet, yet also otherworldly.
The faint fragrance that lingers around her jade-like body transports one to a magical realm. This fragrance is so familiar. It must have always been deeply hidden in her heart, yet no trace of it can be found.
"This feeling can only be cherished in memory, for at the time it was all in vain," she thought, wondering if this was the true feeling.
Yan Nange's heart was still at this moment, as calm as the unchanging deep sea, quietly sensing the world and the moving feeling she brought him, like the wind, the rain, and all things in the world.
At this moment, words were superfluous; only the fusion of souls could achieve true understanding.
For a long, long time—perhaps a snap of the fingers, or perhaps millennia—their eyes suddenly met, passionately entwined, inseparable, and unwilling to part.
They saw everything in each other's eyes, yet perhaps saw nothing at all.
Too much clarity becomes blurred, too much understanding becomes bewilderment.
"Why do you feel so familiar?" Yan Nange gazed intently at Hua Wuse's stunningly fair, subtly beautiful face and captivating eyes.
"Because we seem to have met before, or perhaps we've known each other, or maybe you've mistaken me for someone else, or someone else for me," Hua Wuse said softly, her voice gentle and tender. It was like a dream, or a song; every word uttered from her lips carried a unique and moving charm.
Yan Nange loved her voice, for it brought him an indescribable comfort and warmth, allowing him to temporarily forget the pain in his heart. Her voice truly felt like a telepathic connection, bringing peace and tranquility to his soul.
"Could you say more to me? I love hearing your voice," Yan Nange's voice was also low and gentle, like a dream, his eyes filled with adoration and infatuation. He only wanted to hear her speak, even just a single word.
Hua Wuse gazed at the infatuated man before her, her heart stirring. Just moments before, he had been domineering and unrestrained, but now he resembled a child, earnestly and sincerely demanding what he desired.
His expression stirred even her usually calm heart. He was truly quite adorable now. No wonder… Thinking this, Hua Wuse smiled radiantly, a smile that seemed to instantly transform the gray earth into verdant green, flowers bursting into bloom, as if the entire world had brightened because of her smile.
Yan Nange saw her beautiful smile through the veil, and even without seeing the smile itself, the sparkling eyes were enough for him to know she was smiling—a beautiful smile.
These were eyes that could speak. Perhaps they could speak, or perhaps Yan Nange could understand them.
“Shall I sing for you?” Her voice grew even gentler. Although she was asking for his opinion, Yan Nange felt he simply couldn't refuse her tenderness.
Even if this tenderness were a trap, he would walk into it without hesitation. To die in tenderness is to have a warm heart; to live in indifference is to have a cold heart. A moment of tenderness is worth countless moments of indifference.
Yan Nange didn't answer, only nodded subconsciously, his eyes still fixed on her. It was as if she were his soulmate; at this moment, his heart was filled with happiness and contentment, for his longing had found solace.
She didn't speak either, taking his hand and leading him inside like a mother leading a child.
Her expression was serene, her smile still gentle, without any shyness or embarrassment at holding a man's hand for the first time. Instead, she found joy in his slight trembling; his sensitivity and shyness suddenly evoked a maternal feeling within her, a feeling she had experienced before and now, only never towards a man like him.

Chapter 281 Madness

When Yan Nange's hand was held by that warm, soft little hand, he trembled with boundless happiness and emotion. He truly felt as if Lingxi were holding his hand; the feeling of her holding his hand was the same happiness he felt at that moment.
Releasing his hand, she sat behind the zither table.
The zither was made of Jiao Wei wood, the table of fragrant sandalwood. The beauty was like jade, her brows lowered, a gentle smile playing on her lips, as if she were whispering.
Yan Nange sat there obediently, still gazing at her with adoration.
After a few scattered notes rang out, there was a moment of silence.
The zither music began again, gentle as the wind, ethereal as the clouds.
Like a spring breeze blowing across the earth, nurturing all things; like Yan Nange drifting across the sky, making the passing sky appear even clearer, infinitely blue.
Amidst the gentle zither music, a tender female voice softly rose, her singing both plaintive and poignant, telling a story that seemed both moving and unrelated.
Whether it was or wasn't, perhaps it didn't matter much; what mattered was that both the music and the singing were equally captivating.
Yan Nange was transported back to the past by this song, recalling the bittersweet moments of his childhood and adolescence; his miraculous journey from the mortal realm to the Nine Netherworld; the sweet days he spent with Xiangxiang, relying on each other, and her departure; the touching scene of his first encounter with Lingxi and everything that followed; the process of meeting and falling in love with his wives Mengmou, Rou'er, Qianqian, and Xianlan… Memories surged like a tide, overflowing his heart and flooding his soul.
And then, a myriad of illusions, after these memories had settled, surged forth.
These illusions, though seemingly not illusions, seemed to be real life itself, as if they were his, yet not quite; somewhat chaotic, yet strangely clear.
Amidst these countless illusions, he felt he had found himself, yet he also began to lose himself...
When
everything finally settled down, Yan Nange had not yet escaped the chaos of his thoughts, or rather, he had never even considered escaping.
Those sorrowful and joyful images made Yan Nange's heart like a lone boat adrift on a vast ocean, relentlessly battered by raging storms and towering waves. His heart sank and floated in this boundless sea of towering waves and torrential rain.
Occasionally, there would be respite; the bright moon hung in the sky, and the water was as calm as a mirror. The calm surface didn't resemble the ocean, but rather a beautiful lake, with one moon reflected in the water and another in the sky. Under the tranquil night, the two bright moons echoed each other, a scene of ethereal beauty...
One moment he was overjoyed, the next he was weeping uncontrollably, one moment he was furious like a tiger, and the next he was serene and tranquil.
Seeing Yan Nange's ever-changing, complex expressions, Hua Wuse sighed softly and turned to leave the elegant room.
"Where am I? What just happened?" Yan Nange regained his senses, looking at the refined and fragrant room he found himself in. His face and clothes were wet. He frowned, trying to recall the events from his chaotic thoughts.
Finally, he remembered that he had come to Hua Wuse's residence. She had brought him to this room and played the zither and sang for him. Listening to her music and singing, looking at her familiar face, he was lost in memories of the past, and then entered another world, both strange and familiar. There, many lives existed, from birth to death, with all kinds of joy and sorrow. Sometimes he was male, sometimes female, sometimes suffering, sometimes joy. Finally, on a desolate Gobi Desert, a man screamed in agony, the agonizing pain suddenly bringing him back to reality.
Was everything that had just happened an illusion, or a past reality? Whose past reality was it? Yan Nange wanted to know, he needed to know, who this mysterious woman, Hua Wuse, really was.
Yan Nange got up and went outside, ignoring the tear stains on his face and clothes.
The room outside was empty. Yan Nange focused his spiritual sense to search for her, and in an instant, he saw her. Yan Nange ran downstairs and into the small garden where she was, like a child anxiously searching for his mother, longing for her warm embrace.
Hua Wuse saw Yan Nange running towards her, smiled gently, but didn't turn around, still keeping her beautiful eyes closed, intoxicated by the captivating fragrance of the flowers before her. The flowers might be colorless, but they possessed fragrance and elegance, perhaps even carrying untold stories behind them, which made them even more alluring and captivating.
Yan Nange ran into the garden, but seeing her closed-eye, absorbed expression, he didn't dare disturb her. He simply approached her quietly, his eyes fixed on the woman who had captivated him.
His captivation wasn't due to her beauty, but rather the irresistible warmth and familiarity behind her beauty.
Yan Nange wanted to embrace her, feeling that in doing so he could embrace the past, embrace Lingxi, his lover.
But he didn't in the end, because she suddenly did, turning around and embracing him.
Yan Nange felt dizzy, not understanding what was happening today. It was all beyond his control and imagination, truly like a dream, yet he clearly knew it wasn't.
Yan Nange finally pulled her into a tight embrace, tighter and tighter.
Hua Wuse pressed her cheek against Yan Nange's, the warmth and intoxicating feeling stirring ripples in her calm heart, and these ripples grew larger and larger, eventually spreading across the entire surface.
For the first time, she trembled, just as she had trembled the first time a man had embraced her; so many firsts had been given to this man. Was he really that good? Hua Wuse asked, her heart surging with emotion, unsure whether she was asking the heavens, herself, or...
If the embrace were the end, Hua Wuse could still calm her heart again. But it turned out this was just the beginning. Yan Nange's surging emotions overwhelmed him, and he suddenly exploded, without any warning.
Yan Nange abruptly ripped off Hua Wuse's veil, a large hand supporting her chin, and his fiery lips unexpectedly kissed her tender red lips. This sudden touch made both of them tremble violently. The contact of lips was like a bolt from the blue, the immense shock causing them to tremble uncontrollably. At that moment, they felt every pore on their bodies contract violently, then suddenly open again. The incomparably comfortable and exhilarating feeling made them forget everything, simply immersed in this incomparably moving pleasure.
Yan Nange desperately kissed and sucked on Hua Wuse's lips with his burning lips. Her watery softness stirred his heart and made him more and more frantic and rapid, capturing her entire mouth and lovingly caressing it with his tongue.

Chapter 282 Intoxication
: 10-21 10:19:18 Word Count: 2906

Hua Wuse was completely stunned the moment Yan Nange ripped off her veil and kissed her lips. The intense, electric-like sensation of their lips touching left her in a state of utter chaos, her mind blank. She didn't know how to react, only staring wide-eyed at this crazed man who loved, or rather, defiled her.
Yan Nange's tongue freely swept across Hua Wuse's soft, fragrant lips, unknowingly entering them and brushing against her pearly white teeth.
After a brief struggle, he pried open her defenses, slipping into her sweet little mouth, finding Hua Wuse's smooth, sweet tongue, swirling and teasing it until he held it tenderly in his mouth.
Hua Wuse had completely lost consciousness, simply letting Yan Nange savor her fragrant lips and tongue. She had never experienced anything like this before. Even though she understood, the difference between understanding and experience was too great, leaving her completely unprepared. Yan Nange had utterly shattered her emotional defenses, leaving her utterly disoriented.
Yan Nange entwined his lips and tongue with Hua Wuse's, feeling as if he were not embracing Hua Wuse in this endless, passionate embrace, but rather his beloved Lingxi, the goddess Lingxi, dressed in white like snow, untouched by worldly dust; his gentle yet passionate wife Lingxi; the beloved girl Lingxi, who smiled through her tears at their separation.
"Lingxi, Lingxi. Let your brother cherish you. Our longing for each other has already been too painful," Yan Nange murmured softly.
Lost in her reverie, Hua Wuse didn't hear Yan Nange's murmured words. Instead, she was completely absorbed in the overwhelming pleasure and sensation brought to her by Yan Nange's lips and tongue. Struggling or giving in, it was all the same—she was sinking deeper and deeper into depravity.
This endless entanglement continued until footsteps sounded. The two suddenly awoke, and Hua Wuse quickly broke free from Yan Nange's embrace and went inside.
At this moment, her face was still flushed, incredibly beautiful, her heart pounding, and her body trembling slightly. Her eyes held a mixture of shyness, surprise, and slight anger. How could this be? she asked herself. What was wrong with her?
Yan Nange also suddenly realized her earlier madness, and felt deeply ashamed. But that intimate, sweet feeling was something she had only experienced with Lingxi; the captivating sweetness of her lips still lingered. Yan Nange subconsciously swallowed.
Yan Nange felt extremely guilty towards Hua Wuse, because she had been so impulsive and frivolous. Although Hua Wuse had held her hand first, Yan Nange knew that she only felt affection for her. And yet, she had done such a thing to her. How could she atone for her transgression? Yan Nange was somewhat angry at her own uncontrollable impulses, and in her remorse, her longing for Lingxi grew even stronger.
"Miss, the Second Prince of Tang, the Prince of Aotian, the Prince of Hongye, and the Prince of Shaqun request an audience." A maid's clear voice rang out from outside the beaded curtain.
Yan Nange frowned upon hearing the name "Second Prince of Tang." Why was he always haunting her?
Yan Nange had met the princes of Hongye and Shaqun before; although they were somewhat philandering, they were still worthy of acquaintance.
The prince of Aotian must have just arrived in Black Dragon City, as Yan Nange had neither met him nor heard of him. Wasn't this prince of Aotian the son of Ouyang Lanye and his wife Lan Yu's enemy? He probably wasn't a good person either.
The fact that all four princes had come to see Hua Wuse was indeed quite interesting.
Yan Nange knew that among the three famous zithers, the most renowned was actually Hua Wuse, because her music was the most magical, giving listeners a dreamlike feeling of experiencing three lifetimes. She was also the most captivating of the three, though she wore a veil, her gentle and graceful demeanor drawing people to her like moths to a flame. Even if they gained nothing, people still frantically pursued her, with some even pursuing her relentlessly.
Another important reason for Hua Wuse's popularity was her status as the only daughter of the Hua family. While not one of the most prominent families on the two continents, the Hua family was one of the wealthiest families in the Sand Kingdom, operating the most famous "Wealthy Money Shop" and monopolizing the national timber trade. Their wealth was unimaginable.
Such immense wealth would ultimately belong to Hua Wuse, and even members of the royal family couldn't help but covet it. Therefore, she had the most suitors among the three famous zithers. Unfortunately, despite her always gentle and graceful appearance, she never gave anyone a chance. Of course, those who didn't encounter the same rejection as Han Yan and Jin Xingye wouldn't give up, and their pursuit grew increasingly intense and frantic.
"Just say I'm unwell and unable to receive guests," Hua Wuse's gentle voice echoed from the inner room. Yan Nange detected a hint of annoyance in her voice, knowing it was his fault. It seemed he should leave and apologize later. Yan Nange
thought to himself. The maid was startled; she too sensed her mistress's annoyance. This was unusual. What was it for? Perhaps it was for the young master Yan Nange inside. She was about to go down and dismiss the four princes when she saw them barge in.
Yan Nange naturally knew that the four had barged in, led by the arrogant prince from Aotian Kingdom. He was quite skilled; he had even immobilized the guards at the door. His expression made Yan Nange want to trample him underfoot, and the second prince of Tang Kingdom was undoubtedly an accomplice who had instigated them. It seemed another fight was inevitable today, but Yan Nange still hoped they wouldn't bother him. He felt ashamed to fight someone of their level, yet these very people always seemed to want to run into his clutches.
"Four princes, you..." a maid cried out in alarm. "
We knew that Master Hua would definitely let us see you, so we came up ourselves," Prince Xiao Longfei of Aotian Kingdom smiled arrogantly, his handsome face always full of pride as he smiled at the maid. He was always very confident in himself.
"Not necessarily," Yan Nange shouted. The entire inn trembled in fright, let alone the four princes who entered the hall.
Tang Zixuan, the second prince of Tang Kingdom, was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he almost couldn't sit down. Hearing that voice filled him with both hatred and fear, and seeing that he was truly unlucky to have run into Yan Nange again. However, he wasn't afraid today, because with the expert Xiao Aotian present, and the two princes also there, they wouldn't dare do anything to him. He would make them wish they were dead. Tang Zixuan, having forgotten the pain of his past wounds, secretly dreamt of revenge.

Chapter 283: The Arrogant Prince
(10-21 10:19:19, 2998 words)

"Who are you? How dare you shout at this prince?" Xiao Longfei shouted arrogantly. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to be so arrogant in front of him. He wanted to kill the person before him right now.
The princes of Shaqun Kingdom and Hongye Kingdom, upon seeing Yan Nange, were startled but not angry. They hadn't wanted to barge in like this in the first place; their encounter with the other two was purely accidental. They didn't want to offend Yan Nange at all; they were eager to win him over. He was a real money-maker!
Prince Yuan Shaoren of Shaqun Kingdom and Prince Feng Zhiqiu of Hongye Kingdom quickly stepped in to smooth things over. Unexpectedly, Yan Nange spoke first.
"Prince Yuan, Prince Feng, I didn't expect to meet you so soon. Please have a seat." Yan Nange smiled and stood up to invite the two princes to sit down. His natural demeanor made one wonder if he was the host.
"Yes, I was just thinking of visiting Young Master Yan again, and we just happened to run into each other." Yuan Shaoren was delighted by Yan Nange's politeness, feeling that it was very likely he would open a shop in the Sand Kingdom in the future.
"This is fate, haha." Feng Zhiqiu laughed.
The two princes naturally had to give Yan Nange face. Although the other two were also important, they were not as valuable as Yan Nange. They naturally chose to stand on Yan Nange's side. They wouldn't be foolish enough to not know what was important.
"Prince Tang, please sit down." Yan Nange thought for a moment and then smiled and invited Tang Zixuan to sit down as well. This was to give his elder brother, Tang Zizheng, face and not want to embarrass him.
Tang Zixuan was taken aback by Yan Nange's politeness, and even more surprised by Yan Nange's familiarity with the other two princes. At this moment, his mindset shifted. His initial desire for revenge suddenly changed. He realized he couldn't be so foolish as to blindly follow Xiao Longfei; if Xiao Longfei lost, he would lose face terribly.
Although Yan Nange's self-important attitude made him uncomfortable, he could tell that Yan Nange was giving him a way out. Moreover, he now had to reassess Yan Nange's background and dared not be so presumptuous again. "Fine, I'll give him face. We'll settle scores later; now's not the time.
" "You're too kind," Tang Zixuan forced a smile and sat down. He couldn't address him as "Young Master Yan" as easily as Yan Nange could. This made Tang Zixuan realize he needed to be more careful with Yan Nange in the future; this man was quite cunning.
Now, only two people remained standing: a furious Xiao Longfei and a smiling Yan Nange.
Although neither of them made a move, their palpable killing intent filled the entire living room. The killing intent emanated from Xiao Longfei. Although Yan Nange's leisurely aura naturally circulated due to the killing intent, he didn't unleash it, because he wanted to teach this man a lesson—a lesson he had to swallow.
The three princes naturally saw this as well. Yuan Shaoren and Feng Zhiqi wanted to step forward to stop him, but they knew that Xiao Longfei's arrogant nature would only escalate, and they felt that Yan Nange's skills might not be his match, so they decided to wait and see. All three of them were puzzled: where was Hua Dajia?
Hua Wuse had always disliked these fly-like young masters and princes, and seeing these four princes only made her more annoyed. Yes, her heart was very irritated today, all because of him. She didn't want to try to stop them; she wanted to see what he was capable of, to see if he was good for nothing but pleasing girls.
Yan Nange suddenly thought that fighting here was inappropriate, but when he focused his attention and saw that Hua Wuse's expression was one of amusement, he relaxed. As long as he controlled the situation, it shouldn't affect others. Yan Nange's smile suddenly brightened; he smiled at Xiao Longfei, the prince of Aotian Kingdom. Yan Nange was provoking the arrogant prince to attack.
Sure enough, this prince couldn't withstand the provocation.
Xiao Longfei's figure pounced on Yan Nange like a ghost, attacking Yan Nange's chest and groin with a palm and a leg respectively, his moves extremely vicious, aiming to kill Yan Nange right from the start.
Yan Nange was secretly furious; it seemed that Xiao Longfei was no good, just like his father.
Although Xiao Longfei's skills were undeniably impressive—the three princes hadn't even seen how he reached Yan Nange—in Yan Nange's eyes, his movements were still too slow.
Yan Nange didn't dodge, instead throwing a punch at Xiao Longfei's palm and striking his powerful kick with her right knee.
The two separated almost instantly, Yan Nange standing there still smiling.
Xiao Longfei laughed loudly and arrogantly, "Hahaha! You've been struck by my 'Heavenly Gang Fist' and 'Heavenly Gang Leg.' Without my intervention, you'll surely die within three days. Quickly beg me to save your life! Just kneel and kowtow a hundred times, and I'll spare you. Hahaha!" Xiao Longfei was overjoyed; he hadn't expected to succeed so easily. His earlier displeasure vanished, replaced only by the image of this young man kneeling before him, begging for mercy.
The three princes were stunned. They hadn't expected Xiao Longfei to be so ruthless and vicious, attacking so directly. They knew they couldn't afford to get too close to him; he was clearly a wild beast, and might bite them at any moment.
Yuan Shaoren and Feng Zhiqi both regretted not stopping them earlier. Now that Yan Nange was poisoned, how could he possibly beg for mercy? They were both worried, unsure what to do. They knew it was impossible to persuade Xiao Longfei; he was a beast, how could they be reasoned with? Now they both hated this bastard.
Tang Zixuan also secretly vowed to stay away from Xiao Longfei. Although he was also ruthless, he felt he was far inferior to this man. He was actually quite happy to see Yan Nange kneeling and begging for mercy, but Yan Nange's smiling face didn't look like he was injured at all. He doubted Xiao Longfei's words, because Yan Nange had always been very secretive; how could he be so easily subdued?
It's often said that the person who understands you best is often your enemy, and this is certainly true; Tang Zixuan was right this time.
Yan Nange naturally sensed the unusual energy contained in Xiao Longfei's palms and legs, but he wasn't afraid of it because he already possessed protective true energy. Even when he didn't circulate his power, this protective true energy still existed; it just wouldn't be touched without the guidance of energy.
The Free and Easy Technique had stated that the protective true energy formed by the leisurely energy could neutralize various true energies, preventing them from harming the meridians and body. Therefore, Yan Nange was naturally not afraid of contact with Xiao Longfei. However, Xiao Longfei's ruthlessness made Yan Nange decide to give him a lesson he would never forget.

Chapter 284 Punishment
: 10-21 10:19:19 Words: 3104

Hua Wuse in the inner room naturally saw that Yan Nange was alright, but she didn't understand why Yan Nange had blocked those two attacks; she didn't know much about these things.
But seeing Yan Nange's smiling face, she knew he must have gained an advantage. His smile was despicable. Hua Wuse was somewhat angry. He had just taken advantage of her.
"You're really ruthless. Then don't blame me for being ruthless to you. Remember this: be more considerate in the future," Yan Nange said with a deep smile, but his eyes were cold, and the overwhelming killing intent made the four princes breathless, their hearts pounding.
Yan Nange suddenly withdrew his aura and sat down with a smile amidst the complicated gazes of the four.
"You're dead... Ah!" Xiao Longfei shouted, about to attack.
"Crackling sounds," a chilling, piercing sound came from his body as he tried to move.
All four princes, including Xiao Longfei, heard this extremely unpleasant and terrifying sound. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hands and legs. What was happening?
With a "thud," Xiao Longfei fell straight to the ground.
"Ah! It hurts! My hands, my legs! Ah!" Xiao Longfei howled loudly, his previous arrogance and domineering nature gone, replaced by the limpness of a dead dog.
The three princes stared in shock at Xiao Longfei, who lay howling on the ground. One leg and one arm were limp and lifeless, like empty sleeves and trouser legs. Most terrifyingly, there was no damage to them. The three
seated princes trembled, drenched in cold sweat. The scene was truly horrifying. They finally understood why Yan Nange had always been smiling, and realized the unfathomable depth of his martial arts.
Tang Zixuan was sweating the most. He recalled his two previous encounters with Yan Nange, and the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. If he had killed his group back then, perhaps no one would have known. He finally understood that Yan Nange had given him far too much leeway. This kind of person was not someone he could afford to offend, not even a prince. This prince was a living example. He was also very glad that he had chosen to sit down today. He also wondered if he could befriend Yan Nange in the future, because he knew Yan Nange was a symbol of wealth. He could forgive him for his past actions, but things would be different in the future.
Now the three princes were considering how to handle the aftermath. Undoubtedly, they had to side with Yan Nange. Xiao Longfei was destined to be crippled, and his father had usurped the throne; the country was in constant turmoil, and he might fall at any moment. It was fine to have some fun with him, but they had no real connection. It wasn't worth offending this valuable figure for a worthless piece of trash. The three princes immediately united.
The people in the inn, including the soldiers patrolling the street, were alarmed by the pitiful sounds. Soon, a large crowd gathered nearby, and a squad of soldiers entered.
Yan Nange recognized the leader—the middle-aged man he had met at the inn that morning.
Sima Feiyun entered and recognized everyone in the room. He remembered the man lying there whom he had warned against causing trouble yesterday; the three princes had also been there yesterday. He recognized Yan Nange even more—he had just seen him that morning.
Yan Nange had already stood up, smiling as he walked to Sima Feiyun. Finding Xiao Longfei's cries too pitiful, he used his finger energy to seal several acupoints, relieving the pain and stopping the screams. However, the pain had been so intense that after howling for so long, he could only groan. He no longer knew who had come.
"General, we meet again. I apologize for causing you trouble again," Yan Nange said with a smile and a bow to Sima Feiyun.
Sima Feiyun smiled wryly; this trouble was considerable.
The three princes also stood up and gathered around. They saw that the small building was completely surrounded by soldiers, and all bystanders had been cleared away. The entire courtyard was eerily quiet.
"Young Master Yan, tell us what happened," Sima Feiyun said, somewhat exasperated by Yan Nange. He had made Xiao Longfei suffer like this, and he was still smiling. He was a prince, after all, and he did it in front of the other three princes—wasn't that irrefutable evidence? Moreover, he had heard that the second prince had a grudge against him. How could they possibly exonerate him? Sima Feiyun and the Second Prince exchanged greetings. They awaited Yan Nange's explanation.
"This is what happened," Yan Nange said. "Yan Nange invited everyone to my Purple Gold Ornament auction today, and was about to leave when this fellow barged in. I said something to him, and he tried to kill me, demanding that I kneel and beg for mercy, or I would surely die within three days. But just as I was thinking of what to do, he fell down, howling like that. I don't know what happened. The three princes can testify that I only blocked his attack, but I didn't do anything like that to him." Yan Nange appeared innocent, but he was telling the truth; he had indeed only blocked the attack with force.
The three princes all agreed, saying they could testify that Yan Nange's words were true.
This surprised Sima Feiyun. He hadn't expected Yan Nange to be so popular; even the Second Prince, who had a grudge against him, was testifying for him. This made things much easier. With three princes from various countries testifying, Aotian Kingdom dared not say anything more. Besides, no one really took a usurper seriously. Most importantly, he was unpopular, and his throne was in jeopardy.
Sima Feiyun said no more and had Xiao Longfei carried to get treatment. Seeing Xiao Longfei's arms and legs, which were only skin and bones still attached, Sima Feiyun gasped inwardly, thinking that Yan Nange was truly ruthless; this prince would be bedridden for the rest of his life. But he must have really angered the other party; he deserved it.
After Sima Feiyun left, the three princes also took their leave, seemingly forgetting their original purpose for coming.
"Wuse, I was too reckless today, I'm very sorry. I hope I'll have another chance to express my apology," Yan Nange said, her smile fading, her voice somewhat forlorn.
"I don't blame you, it's all fate, let's not take it to heart. Let me know when the arrangements for the conference are complete," Hua Wuse's voice remained gentle, but Yan Nange felt the distance between them had grown vast.
"Alright. Wuse, so many things have happened today, you must be tired. I'll take my leave now, maybe another time... I'll take my leave." Yan Nange wanted to say he would visit her again sometime, but suddenly felt listless and swallowed his words. He'd deal with the future later; he just wanted to go home now.
Seeing Yan Nange's somewhat lonely and forlorn figure, Hua Wuse felt a pang of sadness. She sighed softly, stood up, and looked at the distant sky; it was almost evening again. (

Chapter 285: Taking a Step Forward
- 10-21 10:19:20, 3252 words)

Yan Nange walked along the road, noticing passersby constantly turning to look at him. He overheard people discussing how he had crippled Prince Aotian, but instead of calling him ruthless, they called him a hero. Apparently, Prince Aotian had only been in Mingyue City for a few days, but he had already committed many misdeeds. Everyone says Yan Nange is a lone hero, fearless of power, though some say he's protecting a beautiful woman.
Yan Nange was surprised that news of him had spread so widely even though he hadn't left the house, but it seemed to be to his advantage. He wasn't too concerned about the rumors damaging his reputation. He knew that public opinion could be powerful, but he also knew that good rumors were beneficial, and bad rumors didn't bother him.
In this world, strength speaks louder than words. With enough power, you can trample public opinion underfoot and control it at will.
Seeing Yan Nange suddenly appear beside her, Jin Xingye, who had been somewhat anxious, smiled sweetly, forgetting her shyness, and gave Yan Nange a warm, soft embrace. She had decided to follow Yan Nange, so she no longer thought about the boundaries between men and women; pleasure was all that mattered.
Yan Nange naturally understood that she had let go, so he held her tenderly for a while. Seeing Yan Nange holding her, Jin Xingye felt a sweet warmth in her heart; she realized that being embraced was so sweet and blissful.
"His embrace is so warm, and he smells so nice." She nuzzled her head against Yan Nange's chest affectionately.
After a moment of tenderness, Yan Nange, carrying Jin Xingye and her maid Feng'er, flew away through the back window. The two guards at the front gate were still unaware that the place was deserted.
The two girls clung tightly to Yan Nange, staring in astonishment at the world above—it was incredible! Their eyes and mouths were wide open.
The journey was short, as they soon arrived home.
Seeing Yan Nange return with two more girls, the girls were both delighted and jealous, resulting in a flurry of playful banter and reproach.
Jin Xingye and Feng'er, seeing the girls kissing Yan Nange one by one, felt both shy and envious. Regardless of their feelings, their pretty faces flushed crimson.
When Yan Nange introduced Jin Xingye and Feng'er to the other girls, they cheered, saying how amazing their brother was, having acquired another famous zither, which would surely bring them even more enjoyment.
Jin Xingye was overjoyed, holding Han Yan's hand tightly, unwilling to let go. They had both been waiting for this opportunity to meet, and today they were finally together.
Jin Xingye finally removed her veil, revealing her true face to everyone.
It turned out that Jin Xingye was an absolute beauty, living up to her name; her face was as beautiful and dreamlike as a starry night sky, breathtakingly beautiful.
Everyone was stunned, while Jin Xingye blushed shyly under the intense gazes, but this shyness only made her more alluring, drawing even more intense stares.
Those eyes were like those of a rogue seeing a beautiful woman. It was clear how stunning Jin Xingye's beauty was.
Yan Nange also carefully observed Jin Xingye's pretty face, never expecting her beauty to rival Han Yan's. It seemed he had truly stumbled upon another treasure. Heaven had bestowed this treasure; cherishing and protecting it would be a blessing.
The passionate night needs no further explanation; it was filled with tender moments and blissful intimacy. Yan Nange didn't take Jin Xingye's advances, preferring to wait for the right moment.
The next day was overcast and rainy. The first rain
of the year fell, belated yet still bringing joy. With sunny days always present, people naturally yearn for the dampness of rain.
The fine rain, like silk threads, mirrored the endless emotions in a lover's heart—gentle, delicate, and moist, seeping through clothes, soaking into the body, and entering the heart.
After his passionate encounter with the women, Yan Nange went to the training grounds of the abandoned mine. Today, he would deploy the first batch of Tai Xuan Manor soldiers, taking the first step in expanding his influence.
The sounds of "Hey-ha!" filled the air; even the rain couldn't deter these warriors from various ethnic groups from their training. They were practicing a set of boxing techniques with Zhang Xiaotian.
Yan Nange had seen this set of boxing techniques before. Although it wasn't as wondrous as the ones he had learned, it was very practical. It should be sufficient to deal with ordinary second-rate masters as long as their skill levels were comparable.
How could the Xiaoyao Sect possess such inferior martial arts? Of course not.
Zhang Yuehu and Li Tenglong weren't idle either, each training a group of soldiers in hand-to-hand combat and short-blade stabbing.
Ouyang Lanye wasn't idle either, leading a group of soldiers in practicing agility and movement techniques.
Yan Nange saw that the movements of these four groups of soldiers were already proficient; it seemed they were about to engage in real combat. Although they usually conducted combat training, that wasn't against real enemies. Yan Nange wanted them to mature in real combat, becoming true tigers and wolves in arms.
After the first training session, the four of them came over and led Yan Nange to the council hall of the barracks.
"The jewelry auction is in four days. The city is in disarray, so I need to send a group to maintain order and prevent any disruptions. Also, I need to send another group to infiltrate the city and purge the underworld. I need five hundred men this time. You can choose them later, and they'll enter the city in batches today. Lan Ye, you're familiar with the city, so you'll take three hundred men and infiltrate our old residence. As for the arrangements, you can figure that out yourself. I'll take the remaining two hundred to the venue. Xiao Tian, you'll be in charge of the group at the venue. There's a young man named Li Yuanfeng there; he's one of our own and in charge of the auction. I'll introduce him to you. You two need to cooperate well and prevent any accidents. I'll arrange accommodations and let you know later," Yan Nange said, glancing at the two men, who both nodded seriously.
"Generals Zhang and Li, I'm giving them both a chance to hone their skills, but I'll need your assistance. You two will be entering Black Dragon City with me the day after tomorrow to assist them separately. I'll inform you then. Now, the four of you, go and choose suitable candidates," Yan Nange said solemnly.
The four men didn't say much and left to carry out the order.
Actually, since meeting the three elder brothers, Yan Nange had been considering whether to abandon his previous plan. Brother Sima was the Lord of Bright Moon City; was it appropriate for him to control the entire underground forces of Bright Moon City? However, after careful consideration, Yan Nange decided to proceed as planned. Having power in his own hands was better than having it in someone else's, and it would also benefit Brother Sima, improving the security of Black Dragon City. Furthermore, it would be convenient to help Brother Sima if he needed anything. In short, he had no malicious intent and a clear conscience.
Yan Nange decided that this operation would be carried out quietly and decisively. He wouldn't tell Sima Zhongliu for the time being; he would reveal it to him later, or perhaps not at all.

Chapter 286: Military Review
(October 21, 10:19:20, 2795 words)

Not long after, Zhang Xiaotian came in and told Yan Nange that the selections were complete and asked Yan Nange to review them.
Yan Nange walked out of the room; the light rain was still falling, a fine and persistent drizzle.
Seeing the neat ranks and spirited soldiers in the rain, Yan Nange felt a surge of pride. This was about to begin the mission he had envisioned.
"Now is the time to test you. I hope you can all perform excellently, and I believe you are all outstanding warriors. I will explain the mission to you later. Now, your task is to obey orders and avoid mistakes. Our success or failure rests in everyone's hands. If you complete this mission well, I will reward you accordingly. I hope you can all use your wisdom and abilities to prove your extraordinary abilities." Yan Nange finished speaking forcefully and then instructed Zhang Xiaotian and Ouyang Lanye to divide them into fifty groups.
Although Yan Nange could easily lead a convoy into the city, he was unwilling to do so. This would expose his strength to the public eye, and Yan Nange disliked having others know everything about him. Even though those older brothers knew he had manpower, he didn't want them to know exactly how many. This was to prevent them from inadvertently leaking information and causing him unnecessary trouble. Besides, they might feel uncomfortable knowing he possessed such a force. It wasn't a matter of trust, but rather that their position and perspective would naturally lead them to such thoughts. It was better to keep it to himself than to make everyone feel awkward.
Yan Nange told Zhang Xiaotian the location of the venue. Zhang Xiaotian was very familiar with everything in Black Dragon City, so Yan Nange felt comfortable letting him lead a team. Lan Ye, needless to say, was very familiar with Black Dragon City and the surrounding area.
Yan Nange didn't concern himself with how they entered the city, letting them figure it out themselves. He simply told them that if any problems arose, they should tell the soldiers they were guards from Yan Nange's household going to help at the venue.
After finishing his words, Yan Nange went to Black Dragon City. He had many things to do that day.
Although it was a rainy day, the flow of people to and from Black Dragon City was still considerable. Carriages and colorful umbrellas moved constantly along the streets, creating a spectacular sight. The lively atmosphere even made people forget that it was a rainy day. The number of people on the streets was not small; in fact, there were many more than yesterday. This was probably because more and more people were coming to Black Dragon City.
Yan Nange first walked through the alleys to the vicinity of the Rugui Inn and focused his spiritual sense to check on Zuo Qingfei's situation.
Zuo Qingfei was still sleeping in his room. This was exactly as Yan Nange had expected; these were the symptoms of being hit by the Meridian-Severing Hand. However, he wouldn't be like this in the afternoon. He wouldn't be sleeping anymore; instead, he would be full of energy and vigor. This way, the plan to deal with him could be implemented.
"This time, you, this scum who is universally condemned, are definitely going to die," Yan Nange thought to himself. He wouldn't give someone who used other people's lives to practice his skills a chance to live. Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable.
Yan Nange left the Rugui Inn and quickly arrived at the back of Furong Residence by walking through alleys and narrow lanes. He straightened his clothes and strode confidently into the residence. Because of his protective inner energy, the rain didn't touch him at all; it was all repelled. Even without an umbrella, his snow-white clothes were spotless. His entrance naturally drew the attention of everyone in the hall. Yan Nange was already incredibly handsome, and with his current fame, everyone stared at him. Those who were bolder greeted him, and he politely returned their greetings.
The waiter, recognizing Yan Nange, led him to a private room without Liu Fang's prompting. Only then did everyone turn their attention away and begin discussing Yan Nange's various exploits. They recounted them with great detail, as if they had all witnessed them firsthand.
A moment later, Liu Fang entered.
"My lord, I have completed the task you entrusted to me. Here is the detailed information on the gangs in Black Dragon City. Several large gangs are connected to the city's tax collector, Huang, while others are linked to some minor officials. If we purge these gangs, the tax collector will find out, and then the government will find out. What do you think..." Liu Fang handed Yan Nange a booklet and then hesitated, looking at Yan Nange as if unsure whether he should suggest further deliberation.
"Mr. Liu, based on your understanding, is this tax collector Huang an honest official?" Yan Nange asked.
"I heard he's the brother-in-law of the Left Chancellor, sent here to make money. You know, Black Dragon City is supposed to be the fiefdom of Lord Sima, and he decides all the appointments and dismissals of officials. But this Huang Shi tax collector was sent down from above, which is unprecedented.
I heard Lord Sima is very dissatisfied with him, but because the Left Chancellor's daughter is the Emperor's favorite concubine, the Emperor was also pestered and had no choice but to shamelessly send Huang Shi down. Lord Sima had no choice but to let him stay here.
This Huang Shi and his two sons are all scoundrels, they don't do anything good. Lord Sima knows about these things and has warned and punished them several times, but it's no use, so he can only turn a blind eye. However, they haven't dared to do anything too blatant, but they should be dead a few times over. This is what others have said, I don't know if it's true or not, but many people say so," Liu Fang said seriously.
The waiter brought out the restaurant's most famous dishes, "First-Class Hibiscus Buns" and "Fragrant Jade Porridge," and Liu Fang invited Yan Nange to try them. Yan Nange ate while talking with Liu Fang.
"That makes things easier. We'll just wipe them all out. I have an idea: let's silence them and prevent them from speaking to the authorities. Then we'll find an opportunity to eliminate them all. There's no need to keep such scum alive. Consider it a service to the people. I'm here today because I need Mr. Liu's help with something." After saying this, Yan Nange took a bite of the bun, sighing with delight at its aroma, and then enjoyed a sip of the porridge. Only then did he continue talking to Liu Fang, who was watching him expectantly.
“Yesterday I encountered Zuo Qingfei, the son of the Left Prime Minister. He’s a complete scoundrel. I used the Meridian-Severing Technique on him; he’ll bleed to death within two days. But I don’t want him to die like that, because it’s too easy for people to see through. So I need a scoundrel who deserves to die to fight him. Once he’s violently struck, the point of impact will break his bones and bleed profusely, making his death justifiable. At the same time, it will also rid Black Dragon City of a menace. Is there anyone so reckless as to not know their own mortality?” Yan Nange asked Liu Fang, looking at him expectantly.

(Chapter 287: Trick
: 10-21 10:19:21 Word Count: 2651)

Hearing Yan Nange’s words, Liu Fang was startled. He thought to himself, “The Lord is truly audacious. But then again, he dared to fight even princes, and two of them at that, one of whom he crippled for life. It’s not surprising that he would kill the Left Prime Minister’s son.” He didn’t think Yan Nange was cruel, because he believed that if the Lord wanted to kill that person, that person must have a reason to die. He knew Yan Nange wasn't a serial killer. Even if he were, he would obey unconditionally, because Yan Nange was the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Liu Fang thought seriously for a while, then his eyes lit up. He really did think of a suitable candidate.
"Master, there really is a suitable candidate. There's a rogue in this city nicknamed 'Rolling Meat.' He's brave and ruthless, and very lecherous. He's slept with many girls, but because his family is rich, he's managed to settle things privately. However, the authorities have heard about it, but since no one has reported him, no one bothers with him. He's very concerned about his reputation, a hothead, always fighting, and he doesn't discriminate when it comes to his targets. He's also willing to risk his life and knows some martial arts. People in this city generally avoid him. He went on a long trip a few days ago and just returned. He's currently enjoying the girls he bought at home. If we can get him out of there, that should be enough." Liu Fang said with a smile. Although it was a matter of life and death, he didn't feel nervous at all, because Yan Nange spoke of it as if it were a normal matter. Watching Yan Nange eat and drink made Liu Fang feel relaxed. Besides, he'd experienced similar things before, so it wasn't anything special. It was just that the person this time was of slightly higher status.
"Hmm. Very good. Could you bring me another steamer of buns and a bowl of porridge?" Yan Nange said with a smile. The food was so delicious that even though he'd eaten breakfast, he couldn't resist eating more.
Liu Fang smiled and had someone bring Yan Nange another bowl of porridge and a steamer of buns. Seeing Yan Nange's happy expression, he felt that his usually godlike master was now like a child, which only increased his respect for Yan Nange. People with childlike hearts are more worthy of following and respect; such people are sincere and upright.
"The person Mr. Liu mentioned is very suitable, or perhaps this is fate's arrangement. Can you lure him to Hua Bi Lou? If he appears at Hua Bi Lou, this plan will basically be a success," Yan Nange said with a smile.
Yan Nange had a way to get Zuo Qingfei to Hua Bi Lou. Hua Bi Lou was right across from the Ru Gui Inn.
If one of those two scoundrels dies in a fight over a woman, that would be an ideal outcome.
Liu Fang chuckled softly and said, "My lord, please rest assured, leave this matter to me. I will definitely make sure he goes to Hua Bi Lou without leaving any trace."
Liu Fang was quite confident because he knew a secret technique called "Mind-Bewitchment Technique," which could make someone unconsciously obey the spellcaster's suggestions without realizing that someone had tampered with them, instead believing it was their own thought. Using this "Mind-Bewitchment Technique" to deal with "stubborn scoundrels" would be no problem at all. Liu Fang had experimented on many people before, which was why he was so confident.
"Then let's split up. Mr. Liu, do you have a timer?" Yan Nange suddenly thought of this question.
"Yes, I do. People in social circles like to carry one of these." Liu Fang took out a delicate timer.
"It's 8:30 in the morning now. Let's have them meet at Hua Bi Lou at 12 o'clock." Yan Nange looked at the timer in his hand and said.
"I will make sure he appears at Hua Bi Lou at 12 o'clock." Liu Fang readily agreed.
Without another word, Liu Fang immediately left. After finishing her meal, Yan Nange went directly to the Rugui Inn.
Zuo Qingfei suddenly woke from his dream, still feeling a surge of heat from a passionate dream. He thought of Jin Xingye's beautiful body; for so long, he had never seen her face, only heard from women who had seen her that she was beautiful.
Thinking of Jin Xingye inevitably brought to mind Yan Nange; he was determined to kill him. Once Jin Xingye was in his hands, he would make her taste his power.
He was now impatient to find some beautiful women to quell his lust.
Hearing him get up, a young and charming maid entered to help him wash. Seeing the beautiful maid, Zuo Qingfei grabbed her and began his beastly acts.
Afterwards, Zuo Qingfei ignored the maid on the bed. He hurriedly got up, dressed, washed up, and rushed outside. He knew that Hua Bi Lou was right across from the inn. Although it wasn't as famous as Qi Meng Lou, it would still satisfy him. Now he couldn't be too picky; he just wanted to find some women to relieve his lust. He had experienced this before, but today it seemed even more intense than usual.
"Rolling-knife" was still sleeping in his room with his two newly bought concubines when he suddenly sat up, remembering that he hadn't been out in a long time. That's
right, he'd go to Hua Bi Lou; he still had a few of his lovers there. He'd grown tired of his two concubines these past few days; he wanted to see his old flames and maybe find some fresh beauties.
"Rolling-knife" dressed and washed up. He left home and strolled towards the street he hadn't walked in a long time and the Hua Bi Lou he had visited before. People who knew him avoided him along the way. He was extremely pleased with himself for avoiding them. "Who told me to be the overlord of Black Dragon City?" he laughed proudly.
Zuo Qingfei, confident in his martial arts skills, rarely went out with guards. Today, consumed by lust, he disregarded all that and rushed into the Flower Jade Pavilion.
Before the madam could speak, Zuo Qingfei was already impatient.
"Call out all the best girls here for me, and prepare the best private room. Take me there." Zuo Qingfei was burning with lust, his face contorted and terrifying as he spoke, his former handsome appearance completely gone, replaced by that of a wild beast.

(Chapter 288, Double Eagle
: 10-21 10:19:22, Word Count: 2825)

The guests and girls in the hall looked at him with disgust. So what if he had a little money? Why was he so arrogant?
The madam, seeing his attire and imposing manner, naturally dared not neglect him. She quickly led him into the private room and then called for the best girl to go in.
Immediately, the sounds of tearing clothes and a woman's cries came from inside.
The madam thought to herself that this young master was in a real hurry; she had brought him dozens of her best girls this time. She wondered if he had the same skills as Yan Nange. Looking at the silver notes in her hand, she smiled happily.
She truly hoped he was a formidable figure comparable to Yan Nange; she would even be willing to go out and borrow girls for him.
Just as the madam was indulging in her reverie, she heard a commotion downstairs and hurried down. What she saw was, oh dear, what was this troublemaker doing here? The
"Rolling-on" had entered the Flower Pavilion, and before the madam could even greet him, he slapped the grinning pimp beside him aside and shouted, "Madam, come out and greet me! You bastard, do you even want to keep your Flower Pavilion open?" The
"Rolling-on" rolled up his sleeves, ready to smash things up. The customers, seeing him, knew he was a reckless scoundrel and all kept their distance, even if they disliked him, they didn't want to be bothered by such a person.
"Sir, please don't smash anything! I've come to welcome you, sir." The madam hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"Sir, when did you get back? You look so radiant, you must have had a wonderful time with some ladies." The madam said in a coquettish tone, her still-attractive face possessing a captivating charm. She knew she couldn't afford to offend this man, so she had to appease him; otherwise, who knows what he might do.
"Rolling-back" loved being flattered. Hearing the madam's words, he pinched her cheek, making her feel nauseous.
"Madam, call all the best girls for me and take me to a private room. Be quick, or I'll break your legs! Hahaha!"
"Rolling-back" said he wanted the madam to take him, but in reality, he had already gone upstairs on his own.
Passing Zuo Qingfei's private room, they heard urgent cries of pain coming from inside. "Rolling-knife Meat" chuckled lewdly and said, "They're pretty good. I'll have a go with you later."
He went into the next private room, and a group of girls went in shortly after. The madam didn't dare go in, standing anxiously outside the door listening to the commotion.
"Madam, you son of a bitch, you dare to play me for a fool!" A roar erupted, and the door was kicked in half, nearly knocking the madam down.
The madam thought to herself, "This is it, I'm in trouble now. This bastard isn't going to let this go." Now she regretted being greedy and sending all the good girls to that other man's private room. She wanted them out again, but that man definitely wouldn't agree, which would mean offending both of them. And who knew who that other man was?
"What am I going to do? This is going to be the death of me!" The madam was anxious, but she still greeted him with a smile. Even if she got beaten up, there was nothing she could do;
she couldn't let him tear the place down. "Sir, don't worry. I didn't know you were coming today, so I gave them to other customers. What do you think?" The madam looked pitifully at the ugly face
of "Rolling-Blooded Meat," which was distorted with rage, and cold sweat poured down her body. "Slap!" The madam was slapped hard across the face by "Rolling-Blooded Meat," and she fell to the ground groaning.
"Tell me, where are all those girls?" he roared, his eyes fixed on the trembling pimp beside him.
The pimp dared not speak, fearing that things would get even worse.
"If you don't tell me, I'll smash this place up and kill all of you bastards. Speak now!"
"Rolling-Blooded Meat" walked towards one of the pimps. There were a few guards in the distance, but when they saw that it was this reckless scoundrel, they all hid. No one was willing to risk their lives for money.
The pimp, grabbed by the neck by "Rolling-on Meat," was so terrified he lost control of his bladder, trembling as he pointed towards the private room where Zuo Qingfei was.
"Rolling-on Meat" released him, and he stumbled out, determined never to return.
"Is this it? Daring to steal my woman!" Rolling-on Meat cursed, kicking open the door and entering.
Zuo Qingfei was still going at it wildly, but suddenly stopped moving.
"Rolling-on Meat," unaware that Zuo Qingfei was no longer going to stop, saw this pretty boy as completely disregarding him, which only fueled his rage and ferocity.
"Rolling-on Meat" lunged forward, and the girls scattered in terror, but Zuo Qingfei remained oblivious, unaware that someone was about to attack him.
"Rolling-on Meat" kicked Zuo Qingfei in the waist as he stood by the bed.
A sharp crack echoed, followed by a piercing scream from the woman on the bed.
The woman inside had already screamed and run out of the room. A squad of patrolling soldiers rushed up and surrounded the private room.
Sima Feiyun looked at the body in the room with annoyance. There was a strange, fishy smell in the room, which made him frown. Why were there so many things happening these past few days? The matter of Yan Nange crippling Xiao Longfei was not over yet, and this bastard had come here to cause trouble again. He wondered who the unlucky guy in the bed was, still being so carefree at a time like this. "Really something
," Sima Feiyun thought to himself. "It's you again. Do you think you're getting tired of living? You dare to glare at me, you son of a bitch." Seeing that "Rolling on the Knife" was glaring at him, Sima Feiyun kicked him, making him kneel on the ground. However, he also admired this guy; he was sweating profusely but didn't make a sound. Sima Feiyun knew how hard his kick was.

Chapter 289 Entering the City
: 10-21 10:19:22 Word Count: 3118

Looking at the two motionless figures on the bed, Sima Feiyun ordered the madam to separate them and check their injuries. He turned away, unwilling to witness their disgraceful state. The soldiers, their eyes fixed straight ahead, sealed the room, leaving only the madam and a few girls who hadn't escaped inside.
"Ah! Sir, he, he's dead!" the madam cried out, turning over to find Zuo Qingfei lying on the bed covered in a thick, white and red liquid. His eyes were open, and his mouth was foaming at the mouth; he was dead.
Sima Feiyun turned around and saw the white and red liquid on the bedding and beside the bed. The man was also covered in the same liquid. Looking at the man's face, he knew things were bad again; this time, the situation was no less serious than yesterday's. He knew that the man lying there was Zuo Qingfei, the son of the Left Prime Minister and the younger brother of the Left Imperial Concubine. Although he also disliked those surnamed Zuo, he was unwilling to provoke them. Now that Zuo Qingfei was dead here, things were somewhat difficult. However, since he died here, things were much easier. Where would the Prime Minister Zuo's face be this time? He suddenly thought of a benefit and chuckled inwardly.
Sima Feiyun ordered his soldiers to seal off Huabilou, shut it down, and tie up "Tough Guy" to the side, waiting for the coroner's arrival.
The girl was terrified when she learned someone had died on her body and cried incessantly. Sima Feiyun had her dress and wait aside.
The coroner entered, carefully examined the body, and reached a conclusion.
"Sir, the deceased was in the midst of lovemaking when someone suddenly kicked him, breaking his spine. This wouldn't normally be fatal, but the sudden attack from a height caused him to lose his essence, resulting in the loss of his vital energy and thus death," the coroner said cautiously.
"Are you sure?" Sima Feiyun asked.
"Yes, I've encountered similar situations before," the coroner replied earnestly.
"Men, carefully take the body to the freezer and seal it up. Remember not to remove anything from his body. Seal this room. The four of you take turns guarding this place. Take this murderer away, and everyone present. Take them back, take their statements, and lock them up. Hua Bi Lou is temporarily closed. Block all news." After issuing a series of orders, Sima Zhongliu left Hua Bi Lou. He needed to talk to his elder brother about this matter and discuss countermeasures. These were truly turbulent times.
Yan Nange witnessed everything from a teahouse not far away and smiled. Although he had been somewhat cunning this time, there was no need to be polite to such villains. Although things were different from what he had imagined, the result was the same. It was just that the people at Hua Bi Lou had suffered. He would compensate them later.
Liu Fang saw the body being carried out and knew that the plan had succeeded. She couldn't help but smile.
Yan Nange and Liu Fang went to their former residence and jumped into the courtyard. They found that Ouyang Lanye had arrived, but they couldn't see any trace of the soldiers. Yan Nange focused his gaze, realizing the soldiers were hidden throughout the courtyard.
"Little brother, you've really matured," Yan Nange said with a smile, patting Lan Ye's increasingly broad shoulders.
"Little brother, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Take this and order some food and wine from 'Drunken Village,' let's all have a good meal." Yan Nange pulled out a bill and gave it to Lan Ye. He then remembered that he and Liu Fang hadn't eaten yet.
"Brother, I have some silver here. The two generals gave me and Brother Xiaotian some silver when we came," Lan Ye said with a smile.
Yan Nange took back the silver, told Liu Fang to stay there, and left the residence with Lan Ye.
Yan Nange arrived at the bustling Tianlong Square, where he saw Zhang Xiaotian and Yuan Feng having lunch with the new recruits from the village; it looked quite sumptuous. The two seemed to be getting along well, chatting and laughing. Yan Nange
hadn't expected Ouyang Lan Ye and Zhang Xiaotian to move so quickly with their men. He had originally planned to introduce Yuan Feng to Zhang Xiaotian, but it seemed unnecessary now. Yan Nange smiled and walked towards the two.
"Big Brother!"
"Lord!"
Li Yuanfeng and Zhang Xiaotian stood up when they saw Yan Nange.
"Lord!"
The new recruits all stood up and bowed.
"Everyone, please sit down and eat," Yan Nange said with a smile, gesturing for them to sit down.
"I didn't expect Xiaotian and Lan Ye to arrive in the city so quickly. I was just saying I'd introduce you and Yuan Feng. Now there's no need. Yuan Feng won't blame me for keeping this from you, will he?" Yan Nange said with a smile.
"Brother, you've kept this well hidden. I never imagined you had such formidable strength. Two hundred men!" Yuan Feng exclaimed excitedly.
Yan Nange knew Zhang Xiaotian had discerned Yuan Feng's ignorance of Tai Xuan Manor's affairs and hadn't revealed much to him. This only increased Yan Nange's admiration for Zhang Xiaotian. He was a wise man, knowing how to act with discretion.
Yan Nange smiled. "I was afraid of frightening you, Yuan Feng. Slowly, you'll understand," he said enigmatically. He didn't want to tell Yuan Feng too much, not out of distrust, but because he feared that knowing such powerful backing would distort his current composure. A steady and pragmatic approach was essential in the early stages of any venture. Even this publicity stunt and auction were carefully considered, not rash, but rather a calculated move.
Yan Nange hoped Li Yuan Feng would continue to grow, even without his support. Sending Ouyang Lanye and Zhang Xiaotian to Black Dragon City was precisely so they could gain real experience. They only truly grow when facing real enemies and events.
Yan Nange will be an observer, but he will make sure it's feasible before taking any action. If problems arise, he will do his best to turn the tide. Although it's not 100% certain, such an opportunity is hard to come by again. Everyone has to take a few gambles in their life. However, Yan Nange is very optimistic about this opportunity and believes he can achieve his goals.
Li Yuanfeng felt that Yan Nange meant there was more to it than that, but he wouldn't ask, because all he wanted to do was manage "Flame Heavenly Craft" well, and he wouldn't inquire about anything else. He believed that his elder brother would tell him when he wanted to.
"Xiaotian, do you think it's a bit of a waste of your talents to send you here this time?" Yan Nange asked with a smile, looking at Zhang Xiaotian.
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare. Xiaotian thinks that being a guard here at the venue is a great opportunity for training. With hundreds of thousands of people, doing a good job of guarding them will definitely be a very good experience. Xiaotian has an idea. This conference is so large in scale, perhaps Your Majesty could also..." Zhang Xiaotian trailed off, knowing that Yan Nange understood his meaning.
