Chapter 271 -37: Meeting the Queen_2
Several months had passed since the Green-faced Ghost last appeared in Datong Prefecture City!
…
As night fell,
the street in Fenghua was alive with lights and colors, and seventeen dance halls were festively decorated with various flickering lights casting a kaleidoscope of colors against the dark.
These seventeen dance halls were top-tier brothels, belonging to a category known as ‘light chant groups.’
These were all owned by ‘Queen’ Feng Sanniang, one of the ‘Seven Kings.’
A few months ago, Li Fei had first entered Datong Prefecture City as the Green-faced Ghost, and after he had safely walked into and out of the Beast King’s Human Face Villa alone, Feng Sanniang had sent him an invitation (see Volume 1, Chapter 137).
At that time, Li Fei had told the messenger that he might visit if he had the opportunity.
He hadn’t visited for several months now.
Tonight, he planned to go.
To meet the queen of the pleasure quarters!
When Li Fei appeared on Fenghua Street in his Green-faced Ghost attire, the news spread instantly.
In the largest dance hall on Fenghua Street, Feng Sanniang also received the news.
“He’s coming to see me at this time?”
She casually picked up a grape with her jade-like fingers and lazily murmured.
“Sanniang, would you like to see him?”
asked a stunningly beautiful woman who had come to deliver the message.
Recently, Feng Sanniang’s influence had been targeting the Zhang Family, and it seemed like the Green-faced Ghost was an ally of Shangguan Xiao.
“Of course, I’ll see him. The invitation was sent, so naturally, I must see him. Go and prepare,”
Feng Sanniang laughed.
Over the years, without exception, anyone she had personally met became an influential figure in Datong Prefecture, provided they survived.
“Yes.”
The subordinate excused herself.
A few minutes later, someone escorted Li Fei into the largest dance hall on Fenghua Street.
“Young Master Qing, please,”
said the fair-skinned, young girl leading the way, her appearance stirring hearts like a piece of fine suet jade.
She led Li Fei to an elevator, bowed slightly, and said.
“Young Master Qing?”
Li Fei smiled beneath his mask upon hearing the title.
In Xing City, the people of the World called him Green-faced Ghost King, while in Qingyuan City Management Company, influenced by Liu San, they addressed him as Ghost Master.
This was the first time he had heard the title “Young Master Qing.”
He entered the elevator, the doors slowly closed, and it ascended.
At the top sixth floor, the elevator doors opened, and Li Fei stepped out.
The corridor had a dark red carpet, with landscape calligraphy paintings hanging on both sides of the walls and expensive-looking porcelain displayed.
The young girl led Li Fei to the end of the corridor and softly pointed at a white door ahead,
“Young Master Qing, Sanniang is waiting for you inside.”
“Okay.”
Li Fei nodded and pushed open the door in front of him.
Inside was a spacious room, elegantly decorated with musical instruments, calligraphy paintings, rosewood furniture, bookshelves, and even a small bridge over a pond of vibrant green water harboring many red koi.
The air was filled with a faint fragrance that unconsciously made one feel relaxed.
In the front was a screen, and a person was sitting behind it.
She must be the ‘Queen’ Feng Sanniang.
Li Fei thought as he eyed the silhouette behind the screen.
“Young Master Qing has finally arrived, please take a seat,”
came a somewhat lazy voice from behind the screen.
Hearing this voice, Li Fei felt a ticklish irritation, stirring restlessness within him.
“Is this her extraordinary ability?”
Li Fei wondered as he walked towards a wooden chair and sat down.
Feng Sanniang held sway over all entertainment venues in Datong Prefecture City, earning her the title ‘Queen,’ standing shoulder to shoulder with other significant powers, was certainly no weakling.
She was also a strong practitioner at the Tao Foundation Stage and ranked high among her peers.
Apart from her strength, the ‘Queen’s’ most admired capability was her grace and enchanting influence.
Her connections spanned all of Datong Prefecture, even the entire Feng Province!
From the Garrison Commander down to skilled fighters of the World, from both legitimate and underworld figures, all were willing to speak for her, work for her, or even die for her.
This was truly what made the ‘Queen’ most formidable!
Many speculated that besides her inherent charm, Feng Sanniang possessed an extraordinary ability to enchant people’s hearts.
Otherwise, mere entertainment would not swindle so many heroes and leaders.

Li Fei had ventured alone to meet Feng Sanniang tonight only because he possessed the Myriad Blood Pearl.
He wasn’t worried about being enchanted.
“Master Qing, please have some tea. I brewed it myself.”
Behind the screen, Feng Sanniang continued talking.
Beside the wooden chair where Li Fei sat, there was a wooden table with a complete set of tea utensils, and the tea in the cup was already poured, steaming hot.
“No need.”
Li Fei said coldly, outright rejecting it.
“Master Qing seems not to trust me. Why bother coming to see me tonight then?”
Feng Sanniang asked.
Her tone carried a hint of reproach, evoking an instinctive pity, making it feel as if one had done something wrong.
Unmoved, Li Fei asked, “Does Sanniang know why I have come?”
“Coming to see me all of a sudden at this time, isn’t it to talk about cooperation?”
Feng Sanniang inquired.
Li Fei nodded, “Indeed, it is to discuss cooperation. However, I am not here to represent the Zhang Family.”
“Oh?”
Feng Sanniang’s voice remained languid. “Then, are you representing Qingyuan City Management Company? From what I know, Yu Longqing has just swallowed a batch of your company’s shipment. You must be worried about what to feed those exotic beasts with. Seeking my cooperation, is it to solve this problem?”
Her sources were well-informed, and besides that, she had extensive connections.
If there was anyone in Datong Prefecture besides the ‘Beast King’ Yu Longqing who could procure a large amount of exotic beast food, the most likely candidate would be Feng Sanniang.
“I seek your cooperation not to help solve the exotic beast food issue.”
Li Fei shook his head.
“What is it then?”
Feng Sanniang finally showed a bit of interest.
“I want to join forces with you to eliminate Yu Longqing!”
Li Fei stated word for word.
…
The room fell silent.
Shangguan Xiao had advised Li Fei to bow to Yu Longqing, so business could continue, but Li Fei didn’t see it that way.
His thought was to directly eliminate the ‘Beast King’!
That would permanently solve the problem and prevent being manipulated by others.
“People say sensational words bring death, Master Qing truly has shocked me.”
Feng Sanniang laughed, “But the question is, why should I ignore the lucrative Zhang Family and go after the wild beast Yu Longqing instead?”
Li Fei looked at the screen and slowly gave his reason:
“Now that Iron Blade Sect is under lockdown and the strongest of the ‘Seven Kings,’ the ‘Sword King,’ will likely be incapacitated for a long time, coupled with the Zhang Family’s issue, the current situation in Datong Prefecture is indeed ripe for reshuffling.”
“Mm.”
Feng Sanniang agreed with Li Fei’s viewpoint, but that reason alone was far from enough.
“Any major power that wants to grow needs the capability to breed their own exotic beasts. Yet the ‘Beast King’ has been monopolizing the business of exotic beast food, essentially strangling everyone’s lifeline. Don’t you all want to snatch that lifeline back?”
Li Fei continued speaking.
…
Feng Sanniang did not respond.
Indeed, no major power wanted their lifeline held by someone else, but because the ‘Beast King’ had taken the lead and already monopolized the exotic beast food business, they found it difficult to make a move.
Over the years, Yu Longqing had never made it difficult for the major forces regarding exotic beast food, even providing discounts, allowing them to save quite a bit of money.
He was smart, using it not as a weapon for attack, but for self-protection.
Thus, unless absolutely necessary, the major forces would not openly break with him.
“I know everyone certainly wants to control the exotic beast food business for themselves, but just hasn’t found the right opportunity to do so.”
Li Fei explained.
Feng Sanniang chuckled softly, her laughter alluringly seductive:
“So Master Qing means, now is a very good time to make a move?”
“Exactly.”
Li Fei nodded earnestly.
“Why?”
Feng Sanniang asked.
“Because he has crossed me.”
Li Fei articulated each word clearly.
…
The night still had another chapter left.
