Upon entering the room, Yun Lang headed straight for Long Chenxi's chamber.
He pushed open the door.
Upon seeing Long Chenxi sitting by the window, his eyes lit up.
Long Chenxi appeared to be about five or six years older than him. His handsome, youthful face was filled with a smile, and his jet-black, smooth hair was complemented by two strands of fringe falling over his forehead. He looked like a dashing young man, exuding a warm aura.
However, his gaze was somewhat somber, his eyes filled with the flames of hatred.
Hearing the door open, Long Chenxi turned his head and saw the stern-faced Yun Lang. "How is it you? What are you doing here?"
"Heh heh!" Yun Lang chuckled and said, "Of course, I'm here to find you! What else would you think I'm here for?"
Long Chenxi looked at him, his expression growing even more somber. His fists clenched tightly.
"What business do you have here?"
"What business do you think I have here?" Yun Lang retorted.
Long Chenxi glanced around, then back at Yun Lang, and said, "Since you want to come, I have nothing to say. Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and be right out!"
With that, Long Chenxi turned and walked into the inner bedroom.
Seeing him enter the bedroom, a devilishly charming smile curved Yun Lang's lips.
"What are you smiling about?" Long Chenxi suddenly turned around, looking at Yun Lang.
Yun Lang composed himself and said indifferently, "I'm smiling because this is your home, and you don't even have a maid! How meager!"
"Do you think I want this?" Long Chenxi said through gritted teeth, "I'm merely concealing it!"
Yun Lang smiled and asked, "Concealing? Concealing what?"
Long Chenxi snorted coldly, returned to his bed, lay down, and closed his eyes.
Yun Lang smiled, turned, and walked out of the room.
The door slammed shut with a "bang."
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Long Chenxi's eyes snapped open, revealing intense hatred deep within.
"Yun Lang! Yun Lang! Yun Lang! Just you wait! One day, I will tear you to shreds and scatter your ashes to the wind!" Long Chenxi said fiercely, his voice filled with anger and venom.
Countless methods of revenge swirled in his mind, yet he couldn't decide which to choose.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Long Chenxi's brow furrowed slightly.
"It's me, Your Highness!" came the voice of the innkeeper from outside.
Long Chenxi said, "Come in!"
The innkeeper pushed open the door and walked in.
"Your Highness, what are your commands for this humble servant?" the innkeeper asked respectfully.
Long Chenxi pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Bring that dish over!"
"Yes!"
The innkeeper complied, stepped forward, brought the platter to the table, and respectfully placed the dish down.
Long Chenxi said, "That's all, you may leave!"
The innkeeper acknowledged, then retreated out of the room.
Long Chenxi picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of chicken leg, and put it in his mouth. After taking a bite, his eyebrows shot up. "Mmm, not bad!"
With that, he began to eat voraciously.
At this moment, Yun Lang walked in from outside.
Seeing Long Chenxi's ravenous eating, his brow furrowed, and he said displeasedly, "Eat slower! No one's going to snatch it from you!"
"I need to eat my fill to have the strength to duel you!" Long Chenxi mumbled through a mouthful of food.
Yun Lang let out a cold laugh. "Duel? Are you sure you have what it takes to win against me?"
Long Chenxi looked up at Yun Lang. "Don't underestimate me!"
"Oh? What skills do you possess?" Yun Lang asked.
Long Chenxi picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of braised pork, and put it in his mouth. After chewing, he said, "To tell you the truth, this meat is very tender! Try it!"
"Really?" Yun Lang said, reaching out to grab a piece and chewing it. It tasted very good, and it was quite crisp!
He picked up the wine pot, poured himself a cup, and downed it in one go. He then took another piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing Yun Lang's actions, Long Chenxi curled his lips. "Aren't you afraid I'd put medicine in the wine?"
"You think you could succeed?" Yun Lang said disdainfully. "If you had the ability, I'd be very interested to see!"
Long Chenxi frowned at his words.
"Never mind. Seeing your smug look, I can't be bothered to argue. I will make you pay the price, no matter what!" Long Chenxi said, returning to his meal.
"Does it taste good?" Yun Lang asked.
"Not bad!" Long Chenxi nodded.
Yun Lang looked at him. "You don't seem like the type who likes chili. Why is there chili in this dish?"
"Heh heh!" Long Chenxi let out a cold laugh. "I don't like eating chili, but I dislike its pungency! I want you to taste this flavor!"
Hearing this, Yun Lang's gaze sharpened.
"You pervert!" Yun Lang exclaimed, turning to leave.
He hadn't expected Long Chenxi to be so deranged!
Seeing this, a cold smile curved Long Chenxi's lips.
Yun Lang had just stepped out of the inn.
"Stop!" Long Chenxi called out.
Yun Lang stopped and turned to look at him. "Do you need something else?"
"You're not allowed to come to our inn again!" Long Chenxi said. "Otherwise, I won't be polite!"
Yun Lang laughed. "Heh heh! Do you think you're a match for me now?"
Long Chenxi said coldly, "Don't underestimate me. I can not only defeat you, but I can also defeat your father!"
Although Long Chenxi said this, he had no confidence in his heart.
He couldn't even fathom Yun Lang's martial arts skills.
He only knew that Yun Lang was incredibly powerful.
Therefore...
If Yun Lang truly wanted to deal with them, it was likely that not a single one of them would be his match.
Yun Lang said, "I'd like to see if you truly have that ability!"
With that, he turned and left.
Long Chenxi watched Yun Lang's retreating back, his brow tightly furrowed, his expression tinged with anxiety.
After leaving the inn, Yun Lang did not return to his residence immediately. Instead, he went to a pleasure house.
He wanted to buy a beauty and enjoy their company.
By the time Yun Lang arrived at the pleasure house, it was already bustling with activity. The first floor was a mingling of all sorts of people, from young and old to those from all walks of life.
The second floor, however, was frequented by noble young masters and daughters from esteemed families, who gathered in twos and threes, sipping wine and chatting.
Yun Lang ascended to the second floor and walked directly towards a young woman.
The women here were exceptionally beautiful.
Especially their long, slender, and straight legs.
Yun Lang stood before a woman and provocatively caressed her soft breast. "My beautiful lady, would you be willing to have a drink with me?"
The beautiful woman showed a look of disdain. "I'm sorry, sir, I do not perform for entertainment or sell myself!"
"Hahaha!" The young masters around them burst into laughter, mocking, "Her? Daring to compete with a young master? She's clearly asking for trouble!"
"Sir, please don't be angry, let's go!" another man said.
"Sir!" The beautiful woman quickly grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, "Sir, your servant is willing to drink with you! However, could sir allow your servant to get dressed first?"
The man chuckled and patted her backside. "Good girl! The clothes here are all free for you to wear, no matter how many you put on!"
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman's face immediately bloomed with a smile.
