The unexpectedly vile side of Chu Linfeng left Princess Yiyi a bit caught off guard, and before she could say anything, Chu Linfeng had already lifted her up.

The ensuing events were naturally not suitable for younger audiences.

After absorbing the Yin Qi of the two women, Chu Linfeng, who had previously exhausted too much of his Chaotic Dragon Power, surprisingly recovered more than half of it at this moment, even better than the effect of absorbing Star Stones. "It seems that from now on, I’ll have to bring two women with me when fighting others; that way, I can quickly recover my Chaotic Dragon Power."

This peculiar thought arose in his mind, and one can only wonder what the reaction of Lin Ruoxi and the other girls would be if they knew. Subsequently, Chu Linfeng calmed his mind and began to absorb the energy inside the Star Stones to fully restore his Chaotic Dragon Power.

Half a day later, he stood up; there was a place for bathing in the room. This time, he did not use Water Transformation but rather sat quietly in the bath pool. "Now that the Netherworld Purple Orchid is nearly fifty, I must quickly obtain the Storage Rings of the Human King and the Netherworld Lord. Perhaps by then, the Netherworld Purple Orchid will reach a hundred, and even if Feiyu and the others haven’t obtained the Netherworld Purple Orchid, we can return."

After thinking for a while, Chu Linfeng soon emerged from the bathroom. The two women—Princess Yiyi among them—were still sound asleep. He quietly slipped out of the room, preparing to explore Qingtian City. Since Elder Yao mentioned that the strong individuals here are on par with those in Jiuyou City, let them witness the true strength of the Commandery Prince Consort from Jiuyou City.

With Chu Linfeng’s strength, it was naturally easy to evade the eyes and ears of the guards within the manor. In a flash, he was on the bustling streets of Qingtian City; indeed, the city was lively, with a continuous flow of people and vehicles on the streets.

Chu Linfeng entered a decent-sized restaurant. He intended to listen to what people in the restaurant were discussing, as this could be very useful for him.

After choosing a seat by the window, he ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine from the waiter and drank alone. The restaurant’s business was good; currently, there were only a few empty tables in the large hall.

Soon after he sat down, a familiar figure appeared. Upon seeing the figure, Chu Linfeng merely gave a faint smile, and the person approached him directly, sat down without asking for permission, and grabbed a jug of wine to drink in one go.

After draining the pot, the person placed it down and said, "Qingshuang, you’re quite something, drinking without inviting me. Luckily, I guessed you’d come to the restaurant, so I came over."

"Xiao Qiang, are you following me? Can’t be! Since when have you been into this sort of thing? I’m not interested in you!" Chu Linfeng laughed.

"You’re the one with such interests; I just figured you’d come to Qingtian City to catch some news. After such a big event, someone must know about it. Don’t you think I’m right?" Xiao Qiang said.

"You’re something else. Let this alcoholic have his fill today!" Chu Linfeng laughed, then beckoned the waiter. The waiter quickly came over, asking, "What do you need, sir?"

"Bring another set of cutlery, a few more pots of wine, and also some of your restaurant’s signature dishes!" Chu Linfeng said.

"Good of you to know my tastes. I must say, the white wine in the Netherworld is something else. If you’ve had Ghost Race wine, it will be unforgettable for life," Xiao Qiang said.

"Yes, I’ve had it. It’s bitter beyond words. You must have tried it too, or you wouldn’t have such a deep impression," Chu Linfeng laughed, recalling the chill that spread through his body when he drank Ghost Wine in Wangtu City.

At that moment, the waiter brought the food and wine, laid them out, and said, "Please enjoy your meal!" before turning to leave. Most conversations in the restaurant centered around Jiuyou City, with everyone seemingly harboring secrets, making both Chu Linfeng and his companion shake their heads.

"Have you heard? Jiuyou City was completely wiped out, turned into ruins overnight—it’s terrifying. I wonder how the Lord of Netherworld is doing now; it’s truly worrying!" one middle-aged man remarked, his strength reaching the Eighth Level of Saint Martial Realm and being part of the Human Race.

"Who could be so bold as to destroy Jiuyou City? Jiuyou City is our Imperial City in the Ghost Race; it seems something big is about to happen!" said a Ghost Race individual, whose strength was comparable to that of the middle-aged man.

"Perhaps the next target is our Qingtian City. If Qingtian City is occupied, the Ghost Race would be thoroughly conquered. Only powerhouses from the other four major races could have such strength, but who knows who it might be."

"Indeed, I think it’s best to leave Qingtian City quickly, lest we end up like Jiuyou City and lose our lives."...

In an instant, discussions erupted in all directions, but neither Chu Linfeng nor his companion paid them much heed. "It seems coming here was in vain; this information is useless to us!" Chu Linfeng said after taking a sip of wine, but Xiao Qiang laughed, "Qingshuang, why the rush? Qingtian City is hiding dragons and crouching tigers, even having Fifth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm experts. With such news, there are bound to be reactions soon. Just you wait and see!"

As soon as Xiao Qiang finished speaking, a group of youths, about Chu Linfeng’s age, entered the restaurant. Judging by their attire, they seemed to be young masters from families with considerable influence in Qingtian City.

Chu Linfeng was naturally averse to these young masters, most of whom were the arrogant and domineering type. After glancing at them, he paid no further attention and continued to drink alone.

The waiter, upon seeing the newcomers, quickly welcomed them with a smile, saying, "Young Master Jia, please come in! There’s a private room upstairs reserved just for you. Is it the usual arrangement?"

One of the youths in white clothing said, "Today, I’m in a good mood and won’t go to the private room. Instead, I want to experience being among the people here in the hall!"

The waiter was momentarily stunned, while another youth barked, "Why are you standing there? Go prepare food and drinks already! Haven’t you heard of being among the people—mingling? With Jiuyou City destroyed, the Ghost Race’s capital now belongs to our Qingtian City. Eventually, the clan leader position in the Ghost Race will fall to Young Master Jia. We’re here today to get a feel for it."

The waiter ran off quickly after hearing this, leaving many in the restaurant staring at the youth, with many whispering about him.

"That’s Jia Bao, the son of the City Lord of Qingtian City. Usually, he loves to bully others, relying on his father, the City Lord, to commit many misdeeds. If he becomes the City Lord in the future, the hard days for the commoners will only worsen," a middle-aged man whispered.
