Chapter 61: A Fearsome Place

  Du Fei was dressed in a black outfit, looking extremely dashing and extraordinary. The previous image of him as a wild child had disappeared, replaced by an even more determined look on his face. His slightly matured cheeks looked very handsome, but he was walking with a sour expression, his face twisted in anger. Wu Zi Tian Shu knew that Du Fei had just been beaten up by someone in the river and was now gloating over his misfortune, constantly changing the font of the book to mock Du Fei. However, Du Fei ignored Wu Zi Tian Shu's teasing and continued walking with a straight face, possibly annoyed by Wu Zi Tian Shu's behavior. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and glared at Wu Zi Tian Shu, shouting: "You bastard, do you think it's funny? Do you believe I'll deal with you right now?"

  "Haha, stop it, big brother, what's wrong with you, why are you getting so angry?" Wrote the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "You're still saying that you clearly know I've had a bad day today, and yet you come to mock me. Are you tired of living?" Du Fei bellowed.

  "Haha, big brother, no big deal, just being wrongly accused of being a pervert. What's the harm? We're upright and honest, why fear these rumors?" wrote Wu Zitian.

  "You..." Du Fei was speechless at this time, being said by the wordless heavenly book.

  "Big brother, don't be angry, you are a man of iron bones and aren't bothered by the vulgar gaze of ordinary people. We don't seek fame, just standing firm in the world is enough. Isn't that right?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  Du Fei saw the beautiful words on the wordless heavenly book and was delighted, his mood suddenly improved a lot. His tone of voice also calmed down a bit, he looked at the wordless heavenly book with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Really?"

  "That's certainly true." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Whatever, I'm too lazy to think about those things. If I ever run into that old rascal again next time, I'll have to give him a good beating." Du Fei said with an unpleasant expression.

  "You said you want to beat up who, you beat that old man, then weigh your own strength, the old man's strength is not ordinary strong." Wrote the wordless heavenly book.

  "Oh, that's right, let's see what kind of strength that old guy really has. And I think that white-clothed girl isn't simple either. That old rascal actually calls her 'Miss' too." Du Fei asked doubtfully.

  "That old man's strength has reached the third level of Soul Fusion, his power is not ordinary, but looking at him being extremely respectful to that white-clothed girl, I guess she's not an ordinary person either. She must be a princess from some major power. In the future, if you encounter them again, think carefully before acting." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Oh, that old guy is so formidable, damn it." Du Fei said with some reluctance, thought for a moment and continued: "Forget it, let's settle this account later when we have the power to do so. How much longer until we reach the small town?"

  "Not long now, probably about ten minutes." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  Du Fei also quickened his pace and hurried towards the small town in front of him.

  After walking for about ten minutes, Du Fei arrived at a city wall several meters high. Du Fei looked up and saw that the gate above had a few words written on it: "Anju Town." After finishing speaking, Du Fei walked into the town, and what entered his eyes was a dense crowd of people flowing around, all kinds of noisy sounds entering Du Fei's ears, and various stalls on both sides of the street were also surrounded by many people. It had been several years since Du Fei had seen so many people appear at once, and a joyful smile floated onto his face, and the unhappiness from earlier was gone without a trace.

  Du Fei was also looking at the dazzling array of goods, and on the road, she couldn't stop buying. Whenever she saw something she liked, she would buy it.

  When Du Fei left the Kunmo Mountains, Long Heng also gave him a large amount of gold coins. Adding to the large amount of gold coins that Jin Ye Tian had left behind, he didn't consider any other problems and took them out to spend lavishly. He had no idea how much power his gold coins had when they flowed into the merchants' hands. The merchants saw Du Fei casually taking out gold coins and smiled at him like a child. What Du Fei didn't know was that the western merchants usually circulated copper coins, with 100 copper coins equal to one silver coin, and 100 silver coins equal to one gold coin. Merchants rarely saw silver coins, let alone such precious gold coins.

  But the big tree attracts wind, and Du Fei's reckless squandering of gold coins has also attracted attention from some people. Several people have secretly followed behind Du Fei, preparing to "borrow" something from this second-generation ancestor.

  Du Fei had stopped shopping and was walking with big bags in his hands, and soon he walked into a small alley with few people. A few people saw Du Fei walk into the alley and quickly followed him. Du Fei whistled happily as he walked, completely ignoring the few people following behind him. When he reached the end of the alley, Du Fei suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around, and the few people following him also stopped, looking at Du Fei with a gloomy smile. Du Fei pretended to be frightened and asked: "Ah, who are you? What do you want?"

  "Hey kid, it doesn't matter who we are, the key is that we're broke and want to borrow some money from you. What do you say?" The speaker was a man in his mid-twenties with a playful expression, looking at Du Fei with amusement. The others also gazed at Du Fei with sinister smiles.

  "Lend you money? I don't even know you, why should I lend you money?" Du Fei had actually known that these few guys were following him for a while now, he just hadn't paid attention to them, not wanting to be disturbed from his shopping spree.

  "Shut up and hand over your money quickly, or you'll suffer physical pain. Otherwise..." Another man said gruffly, his knuckles cracking as he spoke, revealing a ferocious expression as he glared at Du Fei.

  "Look at you, young man, you look unfamiliar and don't seem to be a local. I think it's better if you just hand over the money, everyone will have an easier time that way. Don't provoke my brother here, he has a bad temper, and if things escalate, I won't be able to guarantee your safety." The man who first spoke to Du Fei said, patting another man on the shoulder as he spoke.

  Du Fei, however, didn't even glance at them, and instead carefully placed the object in his hand into a container. He slowly raised his head, wearing an expression of disdain as he gazed at the crowd with a smile: "You think you can take advantage of me? You're dreaming."

  Everyone was shocked to see Du Fei put the things into the Rong Jie, and they were also a little panicked when they heard Du Fei's disdainful tone. After all, this Rong Jie is rarely seen among ordinary people, although everyone knows it exists, but few have the opportunity to see it, only those high-ranking officials can afford to buy such a luxurious thing. Seeing Du Fei's calm demeanor in the face of danger, the crowd also felt a little intimidated, afraid of provoking someone they shouldn't. But as the saying goes: "The timid die of starvation, the bold die of overeating." Someone didn't believe this and thought that only the young master of a wealthy family like Du Fei could possess such a magical Rong Jie, and loudly shouted: "Damn it, I don't believe this, brothers, let's go up!"

  Du Fei watched as several people approached him, clenching their fists and rubbing their palms. Suddenly, a wailing cry echoed from the alleyway, and before long, Du Fei emerged from the alley, his face filled with joy. The men who had been following him earlier were now sprawled on the ground, clutching their battered bodies and crying out in agony. Du Fei shrugged and left the alley, heading towards the town center.

  Du Fei walked around, looking around in all directions with a look of surprise on his face, like a country bumpkin who was seeing everything for the first time. After all, Du Fei had not lived in such an environment for several years. As he walked, Du Fei felt hungry and looked around to see where there were places to eat. He saw a wooden building with a magnificent decoration in front of him, stopped his footsteps, and raised his head: "Gu Chun Building". On the upper floor, many young women wearing alluring clothes held paper fans and waved them at the people on the street below, occasionally making crisp and coquettish sounds to beckon passersby. Du Fei looked familiar with the scene inside, as if he had seen such a place in Chang Le County before. However, Jin Yi Tian had refused to let Du Fei enter at that time, telling him that there were terrifying things inside, and that children who went in would be scared out of their wits.

  At that time, Du Fei didn't think much about it, but now that he's grown up, he decided to go to this terrifying place to investigate. Just as Du Fei was about to take a step forward, a woman in her thirties or forties with a plump figure and heavily made-up face suddenly ran out from inside, laughing and running towards him, saying: "Ah, young master, why aren't you coming in? Quickly follow me inside, our girls are all waiting for you!" The fat woman spoke as she pulled Du Fei along, walking back inside.

  Du Fei also looked puzzled and asked, "Wait a minute." As he spoke, Du Fei gently pushed down the fat woman's hand and continued, "What is this place? Is there food?"

  The fat woman also smiled and quickly sized up Du Fei, her speed was so fast that even Du Fei didn't notice. In fact, the fat woman was the madam of this brothel, looking at Du Fei's black outfit, the material on his clothes was top-notch, she judged with one glance that Du Fei was a young master from a wealthy family. She smiled and replied: "Ah, I say, little lord, you've come to the right place! Our dishes here at Gu Chun Lou are famous throughout the town, not only is the food beautiful, but the girls inside are even more beautiful. I guarantee that once you go in, you won't want to come out, hehe." As she spoke, the madam tried to pull Du Fei inside again, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't budge him an inch. Du Fei simply stood at the entrance and took a look around, watching as the men and women inside laughed and chatted together.

  Suddenly, Du Fei's eyes snapped open and he quickly turned his head to look behind him. He saw a robust middle-aged man and two young people, a boy and a girl, walking past from behind him. To his surprise, they were the same people he had met by the river earlier that day. As Du Fei looked at the middle-aged man, the latter also noticed him, and their eyes locked in a brief stare. However, the middle-aged man simply raised his head and ignored Du Fei, continuing to walk away. The white-clad girl, on the other hand, turned her head back and gave Du Fei a glance with a hint of shyness. Du Fei took all this in. He was also somewhat annoyed by the middle-aged man's behavior earlier, so he shook off the old woman's hand and followed the three from behind...
