"I'm fine, I'm a god after all!"
Ah Yin remained stubborn; as mature as she was, her thoughts could be quite naive at times.
Chu Feng chuckled and rested his hand on Ah Yin's fragrant shoulder; her aura seemed a bit chaotic.
He looked ahead and said, "There's a hotel up front, though the environment doesn't look great. You'll have to endure it for one night."
"Ah, don't we need to keep traveling? I'm really fine."
Ah Yin glanced at Chu Feng's arm, thinking that this man truly cared for her.
Chu Feng shrugged and said, "No rush, we still have plenty of time."
There were indeed several days left before the divine altar's construction would be complete, and Chu Feng still had a chance to find his fifth candidate for deification.
However, that was just a thought; Chu Feng and Ah Yin had come here for other purposes.
Given the current state of the world, Dojos and cultivation were not unusual, but the concentration of Demonic Cultivation power was excessively high, which was abnormal.
So, Chu Feng had come to find the source of the Demonic Cultivation, though he had originally intended to search with a 'just trying' mindset.
After all, the world's terrain was now dozens of times larger than the original continent, and finding it easily would be no simple task.
But as luck would have it, he had detected some unusual traces on the road, including the knowledge that the Allied Forces of Heaven Dou and Star Luo were heading toward a certain location in the south.
Coincidentally, the fleeing Golden Dragon King had left a faint lingering dragon aura in the air, which also pointed toward the south.
Thus, arriving here was logical; it was currently the fastest route south on the continent.
While Chu Feng was still thinking, Ah Yin had already leaned forward, wanting to check out the hotel in advance.
Then... "We're not doing business today and aren't taking guests. Please leave quickly, young lady."
The proprietress spoke with sincere attitude, repeatedly trying to persuade Ah Yin to leave.
Ah Yin was persistent: "It's so late, and the surrounding miles are likely desolate. We really need to stay here for the night."
She was polite, but the other party was not, and the nervous expression on the woman's face immediately allowed Chu Feng to spot a flaw.
Chu Feng strode forward and pushed the door open from the side, completely ignoring the proprietress shouting in front of the door.
"So that's how it is. With the Allied Forces here, no wonder you're not taking guests."
Chu Feng first saw the Allied Forces' flag hanging on the wall, and then several dozing soldiers stood up one after another.
"Unrelated personnel, leave this place immediately. Don't say I didn't warn you."
One of the soldiers shouted provocatively, even flashing his sheathed sword.
Chu Feng raised his eyes and said coldly, "What? This hotel is so big, is it owned by your family?"
"You really don't know the meaning of death. Brothers, take care of him."
The soldiers immediately began to jeer; they had likely just been drinking, as the air was filled with a foul stench.
Chu Feng naturally 'returned the favor,' throwing out a punch directly.
However, because the strength gap between the two sides was hundreds of times over, even the slight discharge of Qi from Chu Feng's clenched fist was incredibly powerful.
Several soldiers were sent flying hundreds of meters away, likely meeting their end instantly.
Facing the damaged inn, Chu Feng greeted the proprietress in a friendly manner: "I don't need to pay for that, do I?"
"No need, no need," the proprietress shook her head frantically.
Ah Yin leaned against Chu Feng's side and said, "You're far too violent."
Just as she finished speaking, a decadent, luxurious fragrance wafted through the air.
A burst of laughter and chatter drifted in from outside, sounding extremely merry.
Ah Yin turned her head and saw Dai Mubai squeezed between two women, his hands restlessly squeezing their buttocks.
Then Dai Mubai stepped directly through the door, and his expression instantly froze.
"Chu... Chu Feng? Why are you here?"
Dai Mubai was somewhat shocked, and then a fierce light appeared in his blue eyes; he had presumably noticed the situation around them.
Chu Feng got straight to the point: "Long time no see. It seems you've become a lapdog for the Allied Forces?"
After all, the token at Dai Mubai's waist was far too conspicuous, and he still maintained his usual dissolute appearance.
"Hmm? You injured my brothers from the Allied Forces? And you dare speak so arrogantly?"
Dai Mubai took a step forward, the Evil Eyes White Tiger within him eager for a fight; it was clear he had a temper.
Unfortunately, he didn't have much of it. He hesitated, and hesitation leads to defeat.
Next, Chu Feng surged a small amount of Primordial Chaos Qi, crushing Dai Mubai with spirit power to help clear his head.
Chu Feng asked again, "Tell me about the situation of the Allied Forces. Perhaps I'll spare your life."
Dai Mubai tilted his head disdainfully, "Heh, I have nothing to say. And I can warn you, touching me is a declaration of war against the Allied Forces, against the two Great Empires, and a sign of disrespect toward the God-King Tang San."
Indeed, alcohol ruins things; he was so arrogant and muddled that further conversation was likely impossible.
Chu Feng then asked the proprietress, "Is there a public restroom nearby?"
The proprietress was still a bit shaken, but she tremblingly pointed outside, fifty meters to the west.
Ah Yin was curious: "Why ask that?"
"To find him a place to sleep, of course."
Chu Feng smiled faintly, and the aura on his body vibrated slightly. Before Dai Mubai could react, he was hammered backward.
The moment the bones in Dai Mubai's chest shattered, he fell from the sky and landed right in the restroom. He would likely survive, but he wouldn't be moving tonight.
Ah Yin was slightly stunned for a moment before becoming calm again, as she knew Dai Mubai was just a playboy who deserved a lesson.
Afterward, Chu Feng briskly paid the room fee and said to Ah Yin, "Since the time is right, let's rest first."
Ah Yin nodded and adjusted her clothes; truth be told, she only now realized she was exhausted.
Not long after Ah Yin went upstairs, she noticed Chu Feng hadn't followed. Did he not like her anymore?
That was certainly not the case; Chu Feng had gone to lend a hand and save someone. Strictly speaking, it wasn't saving, he just happened upon an accident while wandering... Boom~
In the plaza behind the hotel, Zhu Zhuqing was slammed heavily onto the ground, struggling to crawl forward.
She whispered a name faintly: "Dai Mubai~"
Immediately, several dark shadows flickered out, surrounding the area so tightly that not even water could leak through.
Atop a building to the side, a figure in black leather was perched like a wild cat.
"My dear sister, I've finally caught you. Don't even think about running this time."
It was Zhu Zhuyun, who licked her lips as she spoke.
Zhu Zhuqing's panicked eyes scanned her surroundings, and she sighed, feeling utterly powerless.
"Do you really want to drive me to a dead end? The current situation is no longer the era of the Imperial Family. Doing this is undoubtedly pushing yourself into the abyss."
Zhu Zhuqing was still struggling to hold on, but she was covered in wounds, and her vision was starting to blur.
Then she saw a familiar man slowly walking out from the hotel; she initially thought it was Dai Mubai.
But as soon as she heard the voice, she knew she was overthinking; how could a heartless man like Dai Mubai ever come for her?
It was Chu Feng who arrived. He swept a cold gaze over them and said indifferently, "Bullying with numbers? If this is all the skill you have, don't come out and embarrass yourselves."
