Chapter 105 The Bully

Towards dusk, more than ten days later, the dusty Fei family caravan finally spotted a large city in the distance.

"Fengye City," Fei Xinlan said, looking out the carriage window with anticipation in her eyes. "Finally, we can rest."

They had been traveling all day, every day. Although the carriage was luxurious and expensive, with excellent shock absorption, she was still jolted hundreds of miles each day... Fei Xinlan had never endured such hardship since she was a child. At first, she found the wild world outside the city quite novel, but after seeing too much poverty, desolation, and slaughter outside the city, she decided that the prosperity within the city was much better.

"Xinlan, we're in luck today to be able to spend the night in Fengye City," Master Fei said with a smile. "We can enter the city early, eat something good, and get a good rest."

Fei Xinlan nodded, equally excited. "I want to eat the best local food! And stay in the best room!"

After a long journey, they often had to rest at wild inns with limited conditions. Being able to spend the night in a large city was a rare treat. Xu Jingming and the other guards were also in good spirits, finally able to rest properly.

…

Fengye City was a large city no less impressive than Lanyue City.

Night fell.

"I'm so full." Fei Xinlan walked down the street contentedly. After taking a bath, changing into clean clothes, and enjoying the best local cuisine, the young miss Fei Xinlan leisurely took her subordinates to see the bustling nightlife of Fengye City.

"Miss, Fengye City is just as prosperous as our Lanyue City. The most famous place in the city is the Baidong Bridge area," Butler Zhang said, following beside her. He had long memorized the entire itinerary.

"Baidong Bridge? Is it lively?" Fei Xinlan asked.

Butler Zhang nodded. "Baidong Bridge is a large stone bridge with one hundred and eight arches. Many flower boats come and go under the arches, and some super-large flower boats are docked year-round, several stories high, doing all kinds of business. The Baidong Bridge area also has many vendors and various novel acrobatic performances. People only start to disperse from the Baidong Bridge area in the late half of the night."

"Let's go, let's go, let's go quickly," Fei Xinlan said repeatedly.

Xu Jingming, Qiu Tong, Luo Baichuan, and the three Blood Rain Guard personal guards also followed, and the group walked towards the Baidong Bridge area.

******

The Baidong Bridge area was crowded with people, bustling and prosperous. Even the poor would occasionally come to see this prosperous scene.

"See? A lot of people, right? You wouldn't see such a lively scene in the village your whole life." A strong man who worked as a porter showed off the city's prosperity to his wife and daughter, who had just entered the city. The wife and daughter stared wide-eyed at the dazzling lights before them.

Wow, I've never seen such a beautiful place in my life, nor have I seen so many lanterns. I've never dreamed of such a beautiful place.

At this time, there was also a young couple in the crowd.

"Husband, are you really planning to go to the academy to teach?" the woman asked.

"Yes, the family business is too tiring. I don't want to compete with my elder brother either. It's easier and more comfortable to teach in the academy," the man said with a smile. "Moreover, in the academy, our children can also study and practice martial arts better."

The woman nodded slightly, when suddenly they heard a commotion in the distance.

"Get out of the way!"

"Move!"

The young couple looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people coming from afar, acting domineering and waving whips as they passed. The surrounding people were frightened and avoided them one after another. Those whips were solid and lashed at some pedestrians. Some of the pedestrians, young and old, were immediately cut open and bleeding, and some were even whipped until they vomited blood. Some children were whipped and cried loudly, and their parents immediately hugged them and ran away.

"It's that Overlord Fang," the man said with a frown as soon as he saw them.

"Truly a tyrant of our Fengye City," the woman muttered softly. The couple also naturally avoided them along with the crowd.

The surrounding people all made way for that group of people! The people who were whipped cried out, and some were even whipped to death.

This group of people surrounded a youth full of戾 qi. The youth's gaze towards all directions was full of ferocity. Only when he saw the fearful looks of the surrounding people, who dared not look directly at him, did the youth feel happy.

He was Fang Chong, the tyrant of Fengye City! He was used to being domineering. To him, 'acting tyrannical' was the normal way of doing things.

Fang Chong swept his gaze around, and when he saw those who were slower to dodge and were whipped until they bled or even fell, he only felt satisfied.

"Hmm?" Fang Chong swept his gaze around and suddenly stared at a person in the crowd in the distance. It was a woman, which made Fang Chong's eyes light up.

This woman's appearance, although considered above average, didn't truly attract him, as Fang Chong was used to seeing beautiful women. What truly attracted him was the woman's temperament, that unique quality of being untainted by her surroundings.

"You there." Fang Chong pointed remotely. "Bring that beauty over here."

"Yes." The lackeys around him looked in the direction and immediately saw the woman!

The young couple in the distance also naturally avoided them, but when Fang Chong pointed remotely, the young couple noticed this scene and felt like a bolt of lightning had struck them.

"Let's go!" The man grabbed the woman's hand and said anxiously. But the woman was delicate and weak, and her speed was obviously slower.

The group of thugs quickly surrounded them, and some of them were even first-rate experts. They quickly surrounded the couple.

The young couple trembled in their hearts.

"It's over."

"Disaster has struck." The man felt that disaster had come from the sky and didn't know how to escape this calamity.

Fang Chong, surrounded by his subordinates, came to the young couple.

"I am Wang Qian, and I am about to serve as the instructor of the New Moon Academy." The man immediately cupped his hands and said, "I don't know where I have offended Young Master Fang. Please forgive me, Young Master Fang." The woman also offered her apologies.

"Wang Qian?" Fang Chong raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Never heard of him! I see that your wife is quite pretty. Quickly offer her to me! Lest you incur a fatal disaster!"

The young couple's faces changed drastically.

The many people on the Baidong Bridge saw this from afar and sighed secretly for this poor couple! But the people of Fengye City had long been accustomed to it. It would be a strange thing if Fang Chong didn't do evil.

"Young Master Fang, my wife and I are deeply in love, please..." the man began to say.

Fang Chong picked his ears and waved his hand impatiently. Immediately, several people stepped forward, and the man immediately tried to block them and protect his wife behind him.

"Pfft."

A thug stabbed the man's chest with a knife without hesitation. After pulling out the knife, he pushed the man aside, and fresh blood gurgled out.

"Husband, husband." The woman felt that the sky had fallen. Her husband had treated her extremely well, and they had just been talking about the days after entering the academy to teach. Now, disaster had struck.

The man looked at his wife, his eyes full of worry and reluctance, before his eyes dimmed.

The woman hugged her husband's body, her mind in a daze.

The thugs quickly grabbed the woman and dragged her towards Fang Chong.

"Young master, the beauty has been brought here," a subordinate reported.

"Kill me, kill me." The woman stared blankly at her husband's body lying there, wanting only to die with her husband.

"Be good and listen, and your family will be spared," Fang Chong said casually, looking at the woman. "If you don't listen, your parents, your children, your husband's clan, your wife's clan... none of them will survive!"

His tone was very casual, but what he said sent chills down the woman's spine.

Parents and children? So many members of their two families? The woman had no doubt that this Overlord Fang could do it.

…

At this moment, Xu Jingming and the others were following the young miss Fei Xinlan, strolling around the Baidong Bridge area.

"What's going on up ahead?" Fei Xinlan led the group forward. Her guards were all great experts, with exquisite control over their strength, so they naturally separated the crowd. They led Fei Xinlan forward.

Soon, they saw the man's body lying on the ground covered in blood, the crying woman, and the threatening Fang Chong.

"Pitiful."

"They're unlucky to be targeted by Overlord Fang."

"Once you're targeted, there's no good outcome."

"That man is also stupid. Overlord Fang took a fancy to his wife, so he should have offered her with both hands, right? Blocking him is just courting death."

"He gave up his life for nothing."

The surrounding people were used to it. After all, this kind of thing happened every now and then, and the people had long been accustomed to silently enduring it.

Fei Xinlan listened to the surrounding people's discussions and understood the general course of events. She couldn't help but whisper, "For his wife, facing a strong enemy, he was willing to block even at the cost of his life! He must truly love his wife."

"Poor man."

Fei Xinlan looked at the man's body and then at the woman crying helplessly. She whispered, "I will help you. I will save your wife."

"Miss." Butler Zhang felt that something was wrong. His young miss was used to doing whatever she wanted in Lanyue City. In Lanyue City, neither the government nor the three major gangs dared to offend the Fei family. But this was in another place!

"You rascal!" Fei Xinlan pointed her finger at Fang Chong and shouted angrily.

Whoosh—

The surrounding people were stunned at first, and then they were so frightened that they all retreated, fearing being implicated. Only Butler Zhang and six guards remained around Fei Xinlan.

Fang Chong was originally flirting with the woman he had just captured, when he suddenly noticed that not far away, a young girl was pointing at him and shouting angrily, "You rascal!"

Fang Chong's mind was a little muddled.

What?

Has the world changed?

Am I dreaming?

Someone actually dared to point at him and scold him in Fengye City?

"Murdering and seizing wives! So unscrupulous in broad daylight?" Fei Xinlan stepped forward and said angrily. "And you've done this kind of thing many times?"

Fei Xinlan was really angry. She was at an age when she yearned for love, and when she saw a couple treated like this, she couldn't help herself! She didn't want to endure it!

"Hehehe, which family's little girl is this? So interesting?" Fang Chong wasn't angry but found it interesting. He looked at Fei Xinlan with a smile. "That's right, I've done this kind of thing not a thousand times, but eight hundred! People are divided into three, six, and nine classes, and I am the highest class. Killing some people and seizing some beauties, isn't that what should be done?"

"Should be?" Fei Xinlan's eyes were a little red.

Fang Chong smiled happily. "Little girl, I think you're quite interesting. Come to my house and play with me for a few days? Then I'll give you a cup of poisoned wine and grant you death as an apology for your rudeness today. If you refuse, then your family will suffer!"

"Suffer?" Fei Xinlan became even more angry, and Butler Zhang's face also darkened.

"Take him down for me," Fei Xinlan said angrily, pointing at Fang Chong.

"Go." Fang Chong said casually. Immediately, a group of thugs very skillfully surrounded them.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!!!

On Fei Xinlan's side, an elderly Blood Rain Guard waved his hand, and several cold lights flashed. In an instant, most of Fang Chong's thugs fell to the ground, each with a hidden weapon in the center of their eyebrows.

It wasn't difficult to shoot a hidden weapon into the center of an eyebrow. What was difficult was to simultaneously shoot more than twenty hidden weapons into the center of the eyebrows of more than twenty people. Even Xu Jingming, who had reached cellular-level control and was a first-rate expert, was amazed.

This also made the faces of the people remaining around Fang Chong change drastically. Those who had dodged the hidden weapons and were still alive were all top-notch experts.

As soon as Xu Jingming, Qiu Tong, and Luo Baichuan moved, they turned into afterimages and pounced forward. Under the flashing figures of the three, the four great experts around Fang Chong also fell one after another. The only second-rate expert was stabbed through the throat twice by Xu Jingming's spear.

Fang Chong stood there dumbfounded. All of his subordinates were dead.

Where am I?

I'm in Fengye City! This is my territory!

Fang Chong looked around. The ordinary thugs were all dead, with hidden weapons in the center of their eyebrows. Even the four great experts around him were dead! The only second-rate expert was lying there with his throat pierced.

"Haha." Fang Chong laughed and said with a smile, "It was my fault, Fang Chong. I accidentally offended this young lady."

"Didn't you say you wanted me to play with you and give me a cup of poisoned wine?" Fei Xinlan said angrily. "And that my family would suffer?"

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Fang Chong said with a smile, "You and I are both top-class people, why bother hurting our harmony for those commoners. My father is Fang Sanyou, and he is a sworn brother with the Lord of Chaoshan Lake. My foster father is Dong Ke, the leader of the number one gang in Fengye City, the Nine Bend Gang. Please give me some face and spare my rudeness this time."

"The Lord of Chaoshan Lake?" Beside Fei Xinlan, a gray-clothed Blood Rain Guard frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "The Lord of Chaoshan Lake is the controller of the area within a thousand miles. It's not advisable to make an enemy of him."

Hearing this, Butler Zhang immediately comforted her in a low voice, "Miss, we're traveling, so it's better to avoid trouble."

"This young lady, I don't want to provoke you either. Everyone is powerful, and you must be strong dragons from outside. It's all my fault, all my fault," Fang Chong said with a smile, while the people in the distance watched in silence, no one daring to say a word.

The woman also stayed beside her husband's body, not daring to speak out.

"Swoosh—" A cold light suddenly flew out from Fei Xinlan's waist, passing through Fang Chong's neck. Fang Chong stood there stunned, immediately covering his neck. Blood gradually seeped out of his neck, and he looked at Fei Xinlan in disbelief. "You, how dare you..."

Fang Chong couldn't believe it until he died that he would really be killed.

Weren't these people afraid?

Fang Chong covered his neck and fell down in despair. As he fell, he saw the surrounding people, their eyes filled with joy, ecstasy, and excitement... Were these commoners so happy? Dad, Dad, you must avenge me! Avenge me!

Fang Chong's consciousness completely fell into darkness.

His body lay there motionless, and the surrounding people felt their blood boiling, staring excitedly at the corpse!

"Miss." Butler Zhang's head was as big as a bucket when he saw this. It was great to kill him, but there would be trouble next. "My little ancestor, couldn't you have endured it? It would have been fine to beat him up, but killing him means forming a great feud."

Fei Xinlan looked at Zhang Bo, pouting angrily. "I couldn't help it!"
