Chapter 19: He cut off his pig's ear (asking for member votes)
Fancheng is the most famous entertainment city in the Golden Leaf Empire, and the place with the highest concentration of brothels, casinos, and taverns is the uniquely scenic Falling Frost Lake in the city.
The ring road around the lake is lined with frost trees, and when the wind blows, the snow-white frost flowers on the frost trees flutter in the wind, hence the name of Frost Lake.
On both sides of the lake street, there are rows of buildings, and the lights here shine all night, known as the city that never sleeps.
There is a small island in the middle of Luoshen Lake, and on the island is the most famous Zuìyuè Garden in Fengxing City. The food, drink, prostitution, and gambling are all top-notch services.
As the sunset fades away, the full moon rises, and the extravagant nightlife has just begun.
Qī Běi led Huǒ Liè, Tiě Tóu, Jīn Gāng and Huàn Yǐng to the Drunken Moon Building. This life was finally able to escape from the Wáng Líng Mountains with great difficulty, becoming a wealthy and influential young master. If he didn't indulge in some pleasure, how could he be true to himself?
Riding on the magic speedboat, they soon arrived at a small island in the middle of the lake.
As soon as you step onto the dock, there is a long corridor made of sandalwood, with a faint fragrance that refreshes your mind and spirit.
On both sides of the long corridor, two rows of girls with snow-white arms and legs stood, revealing sweet smiles, respectfully greeting every noble guest who arrived.
Huoli and Tietou were black armored soldiers, their mission was to guard not to play, facing the lipstick troops still unmoved, Jingang also lacked a nerve, uninterested in women, but Huan Ying was excited, glancing east and west.
As soon as they walked out of the corridor, it was a magnificent golden hall. A beautiful woman in her early twenties came forward to greet them.
"Respected noble guest, I am Linda, the one in charge here. What would you like to play, young master?" Linda's gaze was sharp and she had already discerned that Qi Bei was someone extraordinary, while the others were just followers, so her eyes remained fixed on him.
"Is the Azure Water Pavilion empty?" asked Qi Bei, who had been there several times before, but he was still young at that time. After being in the Mountains of the Dead for so long, he had grown much taller and his physique was no longer weak. The gentle contours of his face had taken on a few hints of sharpness and heroism due to the killings, and people who didn't know him well couldn't recognize him. Therefore, Linda only felt that she had seen him somewhere before, but she hadn't guessed his identity.
Linda knew as soon as she heard Qi Bei mention Bi Shui Lou that he was a regular customer and no ordinary person.
Bishui Building is one of the most luxurious three buildings in Zuixue Garden, and all those who enter are top-notch aristocrats.
"It's still empty, I'll take you there right away." Linda's tone was even more respectful, but her mind was racing to figure out where Qi Bei came from. If he was a familiar guest with top-notch status, and she couldn't remember him, that would be her dereliction of duty.
"Hold on." Just then, a haughty voice rang out.
Only to see a young man wearing a magnificent magic robe, leading a group of men and women who looked like nobles, walking over. His small eyes glanced at Qi Bei, then he proudly said to Linda: "Linda, I want the Azure Water Pavilion."
"It's actually Master Fox who has arrived, but the young master of Bishui Building just made a reservation. Would you like to change it?" Linda said with a smile and respect. This Master Fox is the eldest son of the Fox family, a mid-level earth-system magician, not to mention that his family head is a marquis, even he himself has the title of viscount, with great power and influence.
"Linda, are you kidding me? I made a reservation with you yesterday for the Blue Water Tower, but today you're going to give it to some country bumpkins? Don't you want to do business anymore?" Mr. Fox shouted loudly.
Linda's face changed, she certainly wouldn't remember wrong, because Mr. Fox hadn't made a reservation at all, but her status was low, how dare she refute, her beautiful eyes looked at Qi Bei with a pleading gaze, who had an expression of not being concerned.
"What the...!" Tie Tou furiously stepped forward, but was stopped by Qi Bei.
"I'm just a guest, it's none of my business," said Ziqi calmly.
Linda secretly cursed, she still hadn't figured out which road god Ziqi Bei was from, but looking at him felt familiar, and his identity didn't seem simple. However, the Fox family wasn't easy to mess with either; if this young master Fox wanted to make a move on her, it would be just a matter of opening his mouth.
"This young master, I'm really sorry, today's consumption here will all be counted as mine." Linda saw that Fox and this group of noble young masters and misses were getting impatient, gritted her teeth, and made a decision.
Qī Běi's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.
"Hahaha, why didn't you do that earlier, what a waste of time." Mr. Fox laughed triumphantly, his entire body of fat trembling with mirth.
At this time, Mr. Fox's gaze turned to the phantom, and at first glance, he didn't think there was anything unusual, but after a closer look, he felt a tickle in his heart and said: "Little girl, follow me, I'll make sure you eat well and drink well."
Qī Běi's face suddenly revealed a cold and ruthless killing intent, calmly saying: "Huǒ Liè, Tiě Tóu, cut off his pig ears."
Before the words had fallen, Huo Lie and Tie Tou had already rushed over like the wind. They had been holding back a breath of air in their hearts for a long time, and now that they had received Qi Bei's order, how could they not burst out?
A high-level magician is nothing but a pile of tofu dregs when facing a warrior in close combat.
Huoliang and Tietou were the elite of the Black Armor Army, veterans of a hundred battles. In an instant, a flash of knife light was seen, and then Mr. Fox let out a miserable cry. Blood flowed from his ears like a fountain, and his two ears had been brought before Qibei by Huoliang and Tietou.
Everyone was stunned, no one dared to think that Qi Bei would be so ruthless and cut off his own ears, the eldest son of the Fox family who is destined to inherit the family business.
"Ghost, thou shalt die...!" Mr. Fox began to chant the spell, and a strong earth-elemental magic fluctuation filled the air, as a thick yellow glow appeared on his body.
"Jin Gang." Qi Bei called out.
Without needing to explain anything, Jīn Gāng's massive body took two strides to reach Mr. Fox's side, and with a few punches from his enormous fists, the incomplete earth shield instantly disintegrated. Then, he picked up Mr. Fox's body like a small chicken and flung it away.
With a thud, Master Fox fell like a dead pig at Qi Bei's feet.
"You will regret this, I'll make sure your family is ruined." Mr. Fox shouted in terror.
He let out a cruel smile, his aura so intense that everyone around him was trembling with fear. He raised his foot and stepped on Mr. Fox's fat face, and soon a crunching sound could be heard, followed by teeth falling out of his mouth along with blood.
"Stop!"
The guards of Zuiyue Garden finally appeared and surrounded the five people from Qibei.
The original guards of the Drunken Moon Garden would never have been so slow to react, but Qi Bei cutting off Mr. Fox's ear had intimidated them, making them not dare to act rashly. It was a case of "gods fighting and mortals suffering", let them settle it themselves.
But things didn't go as they had expected, Mr. Fox was directly turned into a dead pig and trampled under Qi Bei's feet, tortured to death, if they didn't show up, they would be finished too.
