"Wow, this beauty is stunning!"

"So beautiful, I fear even in Ning King Valley, there’s no beauty prettier than her!"

"Who says there isn’t? Sister Yanran from Ning King Valley is prettier than this woman!"

...

As Lin Feng and Tao Tao stepped into the tavern, they immediately grabbed everyone’s attention inside. Lin Feng’s disguise was still that of a burly man, but Tao Tao hadn’t disguised at all. Her breathtaking beauty immediately caught the eyes of several people dressed in luxurious clothes, commenting on Tao Tao from the side.

In this situation, Lin Feng was speechless. He had considered asking Tao Tao to disguise herself, but she never listened, disliking the idea of making herself look ugly. It’s the common flaw of any girl, unrelated to age or intelligence.

Hearing these people openly commenting on her, Tao Tao couldn’t help but feel a bit angry. But before she reacted, Lin Feng patted her shoulder, signaling her not to lose her temper. After all, this was the territory of Ning King Valley, a sect with a true Divine King powerhouse seated, better to leave for Xucheng than to stir trouble.

Feeling Lin Feng’s hand, Tao Tao instantly understood what he meant, so she obediently followed Lin Feng upstairs.

"This way, gentlemen." The shop assistant was quite anxious seeing Lin Feng and Tao Tao appear, fearing a fight in the tavern. Those few, known for their notoriety in Ning King Valley, he knew them well, eager for them to leave, but his voice carried no weight, unable to prevent their mischief. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

To prevent Lin Feng and Tao Tao from clashing with those people, the assistant quickly led them to the second floor and arranged a corner spot by the window for them, saying, "Gentlemen, don’t mind the matter just now."

"Assistant, what’s up with those people?" Lin Feng asked casually upon hearing the assistant’s suggestion.

"Those people are bullies from Ning King Valley, each with connections there, and outsiders dare not provoke them." The assistant carefully explained to Lin Feng, "You seem new here; take my advice, finish up quickly and leave, stay away from them. The number of women harmed by them is countless."

Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded, but Tao Tao’s brow furrowed, showing signs of possible agitation. Seeing this, Lin Feng patted Tao Tao’s shoulder, then said to the assistant, "Bring us your signature dish."

The assistant, helplessly realizing it, went down to place their order.

"Brother Lin, why should we endure them?" Tao Tao asked Lin Feng angrily. She couldn’t stand those bastards, daring enough to openly flirt with beauties—such audacity!

"It’s not about tolerating them, but adopting different strategies. Have you thought about what happens if you confront them directly? Sure, you might vent your anger, but the subsequent dilemma would be facing endless pursuit by Ning King Valley. Do you think it’s worth it over a few punks?" Lin Feng replied with a smile.

"This..." Lin Feng’s words left Tao Tao speechless. Her anger made her overlook these issues, while now she remembered that Lin Feng was also under Ning King Valley’s watch. Exposing themselves due to these punks certainly wasn’t worthwhile!

Even so, letting go of these punks left Tao Tao dissatisfied, frowning as she said, "But we can’t just let them be; these bastards deserve to die!"

"I never said let them go; just dealing with these people requires special methods. Be patient for now, everything’s arranged by me." Lin Feng smiled and shook his head at Tao Tao. He had intentions but planned to use some particular tactics.

"Alright, I’ll trust you." Tao Tao’s face relaxed upon Lin Feng’s assurance, knowing he’d keep his words and accomplish his plans.

Sitting by the window, the two observed the scenery inside Ning King Valley. Tao Tao didn’t notice anything particular, but Lin Feng spotted a place, plans forming in his mind for how they could avoid interference.

Before long, dishes arrived, and under Lin Feng’s hint, Tao Tao ate slowly, seemingly waiting for someone.

"Greetings to you both!"

"Hmm, hmm, greetings, beauty!"

"Seeing you both, we brothers came up to toast!"

...

Those very punks the assistant mentioned came upstairs to Lin Feng and Tao Tao’s table, spouting random comments. Instantly, the other diners on the second floor rushed down, unwilling to get involved with these notorious troublemakers.

"We are not close!" Lin Feng looked at these bastards and said calmly.

"Well, the first time you’re unfamiliar, the second time you’re familiar!" One of them, wearing a blue long robe and looking like a smoke ghost, known as Wang Tu, said to Lin Feng. He then pointed to Tao Tao on the side and asked Lin Feng, "I don’t know who this beautiful lady is, can you introduce us?"

The other guys stared at Tao Tao, with lecherous smiles on their faces, seemingly waiting for Wang Tu to settle this kid so they could take Tao Tao somewhere for fun.

"That is my sister. If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for being rude!" Lin Feng glared at Wang Tu and said sternly.

"Kid, don’t be ungrateful. Have you even bothered to find out who we are? Sensibly, let your sister accompany us for a few days, or don’t blame us for being rude!" Wang Tu, hearing Lin Feng’s words, immediately became angry and said coldly to Lin Feng.

"Rude? Fine, if you have the skill, defeat me, and if you do, I can let my sister accompany you!" Lin Feng stared at Wang Tu, speaking rashly, full of fury like a hotheaded brute.

"Wow, kid, you do have quite the temper!" Wang Tu chuckled as he assessed Lin Feng, realizing he was merely at the Peak of the Opening Epoch Realm and instantly felt relieved. He thought this kid might have some skill, but he turned out to be just a poor boy from the countryside. How dare he speak that way to them in Ning King Valley at just the Opening Epoch Realm Peak; what a fool!

"Stop talking nonsense. Either fight or get lost!" Lin Feng said unhappily at this point, waving his hand, ready to leave with Tao Tao.

"Hold it!" Wang Tu, seeing Lin Feng about to leave, immediately exuded a murderous aura and said to Lin Feng, "Kid, are you sure you want to fight us?"

"Of course. My dad said that when taking my sister outside, no matter what, I should never let her be bullied. If I don’t like it, just beat them until they cry and beg for mercy!" Lin Feng rolled his eyes at Wang Tu and spoke in a naive tone.

Wang Tu, hearing Lin Feng say this, laughed immediately and said to Lin Feng, "Since you insist on fighting, then let’s fight. It’s not allowed here in Ning King Valley, so let’s go to the Martial Arena, where life and death will be up to fate. How about it, dare you?"

"What’s there to be afraid of!" Lin Feng shouted immediately.

"Follow us!" Wang Tu saw Lin Feng taking the bait, smiled, and said this, then led the others downstairs to guide the way.

"Brother Lin, he’s hooked!"

"Hmm, going to catch a big fish later!"

"Yes, I’ll fully cooperate!"

...

While Lin Feng appeared extremely angry, he was actually chatting with Tao Tao through Divine Sense. Tao Tao now understood Lin Feng’s true intention. In the Martial Arena, life and death are not questioned, but the issue is, with the few people here, who could be Lin Feng’s match? It was clear that Lin Feng wanted to teach these people a lesson!

The Martial Arena wasn’t far, about five miles outside the Ning King Valley, and it also had a formation set up such that no matter how terrifying the moves were during the fight, they couldn’t break the formation in a short time. Most importantly, anyone who dies in the Martial Arena cannot be held accountable later, or the entire Ning King Valley would never let them go.

When they arrived at the Martial Arena, there were two people already locked in a deadly battle. The battle was extremely tragic, with both people covered in wounds, seemingly on the verge of mutual destruction. Elder Hu, who usually maintained the stability of the Martial Arena, shook his head. The grudge between these two was really deep, and only by a fight to the death could it completely dissolve their hatred.

After a while, one finally fell, but the other was also severely injured, yet had a relieved smile on his face. He bowed deeply to Elder Hu before limping away.

At this moment, it was Lin Feng and Wang Tu’s turn to step forward.

Elder Hu had no particular feeling seeing Lin Feng, but when he saw Wang Tu stepping forward, he immediately became very displeased. Wang Tu was the grandson of the Eighth Elder of Ning King Valley, and he was notorious for doing all kinds of evil, practically a cancer in Ning King Valley. Why did he suddenly come to the Martial Arena today?

But Elder Hu couldn’t intervene in these matters as he was just an elder maintaining order. So he didn’t bother with anything else, directly handing a life and death contract to both Lin Feng and Wang Tu, which was the rule for ascending to the Martial Arena.

Wang Tu quickly signed the life and death contract, but Lin Feng suddenly stopped, scratching his head, and said, "I think there’s something wrong. If you win, you can take my sister, but if I win, what do I get from you? That’s unfair!"

"Then what do you want?" Wang Tu, hearing Lin Feng’s words, almost spat blood from anger. To say such things in front of Elder Hu, if Elder Hu reported this to his grandfather, he would definitely be beaten to a pulp by his granddad! Thinking of this, he just wanted Lin Feng to quickly sign the life and death contract so that he could immediately kill Lin Feng and take his sister away happily...
