Chapter 473: Chapter 471: Stone Man Xue Fei

Inside the City Lord Mansion, Luo Feng followed Steward Li further in.

Rows of red buildings appeared before their eyes, majestic and magnificent.

“Greetings, Young Master Luo Feng.”

The City Lord Mansion guards and servant girls along the road all greeted Luo Feng respectfully upon seeing him.

Luo Feng nodded in acknowledgment. Gazing at the surrounding scenery, he felt a sense of wonder.

He had visited many places by now, but none could compare to Dayang Mansion. Not even Wind Howl City, despite being one of the Four Major Cities of the Flowing Cloud Region, was its equal.

As they crossed a bridge, two servant girls from the City Lord Mansion approached them.

Upon seeing Luo Feng, the two servant girls paused, slightly startled, looking as if they wanted to speak but hesitated.

Luo Feng found their expressions odd. He looked towards the other end of the stone bridge, and a flicker in his eyes showed he instantly understood why the two servant girls looked that way.

In the square on the other side of the stone bridge, two figures were walking side by side.

The young woman on the left wore a long red dress. Her face was stunningly beautiful, enough to topple kingdoms. Every smile and frown exuded an endless charm, causing the nearby male guards to turn their heads involuntarily. It was none other than Yang Wanyi, the daughter of the City Lord of Dayang City.

Beside Yang Wanyi stood a tall and imposing man.

The man was rather handsome and dressed in splendid clothing. His eyes occasionally flashed with a sharp light, and a powerful aura ceaselessly radiated from him. He was actually at the peak of the Ninth Level Heavenly Court Realm in cultivation.

“Young Master Luo Feng, this is Xue Fei, the Young City Lord of Flame Sand City. The Heavy Mountain Skill he cultivates is a Profound Level, mid-grade Martial Art that emphasizes tempering the physique; both his defensive power and strength are astonishing. He once killed a mid-Ninth Level Heavenly Court Realm master with a single punch while only at the early Ninth Level of the Heavenly Court Realm himself. He’s quite formidable and known in the martial world as the ’Stone Man’,” Steward Li followed Luo Feng’s gaze and began his introduction. Whether intentionally or not, he described Xue Fei’s Martial Arts in detail.

“Heavy Mountain Skill…”

Luo Feng nodded, his gaze shifting to the person behind Yang Wanyi and Xue Fei. It was Housekeeper He, who had apparently left the square at some unknown point earlier.

Housekeeper He was about to say something to Xue Fei when an inadvertent glance revealed Luo Feng on the bridge. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately fell silent.

“Young Master Xue Fei, Waner appreciates your kind intentions. However, I will not accept your marriage proposal, so please leave.” Yang Wanyi, not having seen Luo Feng, faced Xue Fei and said with a cold expression.

Xue Fei frowned slightly. As the Young City Lord of Flame Sand City, his status was noble, and he had always gotten whatever he wanted since childhood; he had never been rejected before.

Hiding his dissatisfaction, Xue Fei put on a gentle smile and said to Yang Wanyi, “You are the daughter of Dayang City’s Lord, and I am the Young City Lord of Flame Sand City. We are what you would call a perfect match. Moreover, next year I can test into the Twelve Golden Palaces. Then, we would be a powerful alliance. This would be beneficial for you and for Dayang City.”

Yang Wanyi hadn’t expected him to be so persistent. Her Daimei creased slightly, and her tone grew colder. “I’m sorry,” she said, “I am already spoken for. Please leave.”

Xue Fei gave a dry laugh, not believing Yang Wanyi’s words. If the daughter of Dayang City’s Lord had an engagement, it was impossible he wouldn’t have heard of it.

“You have no reason to refuse me.”

…

Luo Feng and Steward Li happened to be passing by the edge of the square, and every word of Yang Wanyi and Xue Fei’s conversation reached their ears.

“Steward Li, let’s go.”

Luo Feng paid no mind to their conversation. He spoke to Steward Li and walked onward, his expression calm.

Steward Li paused, slightly taken aback, then hurried to catch up with Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, aren’t you going to go over?”

Luo Feng shook his head. He had come to Dayang City this time only to help Yang Dingtian with the detoxification and didn’t want to cause any unnecessary complications.

Besides, every encounter with Yang Wanyi meant endless trouble. Going over now would undoubtedly be looking for trouble.

Just as Luo Feng was about to leave, Yang Wanyi, who was conversing with Xue Fei in the distance, happened to turn her head and saw him passing by.

“Luo Feng!”

A delighted expression appeared on Yang Wanyi’s face. A faint smile touched her alluring red lips as she quickened her pace towards Luo Feng.

Xue Fei, who had been talking animatedly, frowned slightly upon seeing this.

Hearing his name, Luo Feng stiffened slightly. He pretended not to have heard and quickened his pace, trying to leave the square as fast as possible.

However, Yang Wanyi was faster. A gust of intoxicating fragrance washed over him as she appeared, blocking his path.

Seeing he couldn’t avoid her, Luo Feng had no choice but to stop. He smiled at Yang Wanyi and said, “Long time no see.”

Yang Wanyi blinked her long lashes, her red lips curving into a meaningful smile. “I can’t say I see any sign of happiness from you.”

Luo Feng rubbed his nose and gave a dry laugh. “I still have things to do, so I’ll be taking my leave.”

“TEEHEE, don’t even think about escaping.”

Another wave of enchanting fragrance washed over him. Yang Wanyi had already moved to Luo Feng’s side, her right hand naturally linking with his left arm. Her light, melodious voice was captivating.

With such a beauty beside him, even with Luo Feng’s composure, his heart couldn’t help but beat a little faster. It had to be said, Yang Wanyi was a true beauty, a rare one at that. Even without a trace of makeup on her exquisitely beautiful face, she possessed an unparalleled elegance.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng suppressed the rising heat within him. He looked at Yang Wanyi and asked in a low voice, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Yang Wanyi bit her red lip. Her beautiful eyes flickered subtly behind her, and her Daimei creased slightly. She sent a voice transmission, “A troublesome fellow showed up today. You’ve come at just the right time. Do me a favor…”

Luo Feng knew what Yang Wanyi was going to say. He quickly shook his head. “Not helping. I have things to do right now.”

As he spoke, Luo Feng tried to pull his arm free.

Yang Wanyi didn’t let go. Instead, she hugged his arm even tighter, her beautiful eyes fixed on Luo Feng as she said with a low laugh, “Luo Feng, don’t forget, last time in the Red Chain Mountain Range, I helped you kill the Blood Demoness Blade General. You still owe me a favor.”

Luo Feng’s gaze froze. He hadn’t expected Yang Wanyi to use this to pressure him. After a moment’s thought, he could only nod helplessly. “Alright.”

Seeing Luo Feng agree, a smile blossomed on Yang Wanyi’s pretty face, her red lips curling into a smug grin. “What’s with that expression? Afraid I’m going to eat you up? I wonder who it was just now, taking advantage of someone, unable to look away.”

Luo Feng’s cheeks grew slightly warm. Feeling Yang Wanyi drawing even closer, he snorted, “You’re playing with fire.”

“GIGGLE… I’m just afraid you don’t have the guts. How about this: if you can help me handle this troublemaker, I might consider agreeing to other conditions from you, you know.”

Yang Wanyi winked and giggled.

Luo Feng looked at Yang Wanyi’s charming smile and radiant eyes, feeling rather helpless. A delicate beauty was indeed alluring, but the one before him was a rose with thorns.

She was, after all, a Spiritual Rotation Realm expert.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng inwardly swore that if he ever got the chance, he would teach this presumptuous woman a harsh lesson!

At the edge of the square, Xue Fei’s expression became extremely unsightly.

Moments ago, Yang Wanyi had been cold and aloof with him, but now she was laughing and chatting with another man, and they looked quite intimate.

“Housekeeper He, do you recognize this brat?”

His fists clenched tightly. Xue Fei’s sharp gaze was fixed on Luo Feng, and intense jealousy made his body tremble slightly.

Housekeeper He hadn’t had a chance to speak to Xue Fei yet. Hearing the question, he immediately said, “Young Master, I was just about to speak to you about this.”

“Oh?”

Xue Fei paused, taken aback. He turned and noticed Housekeeper He’s clothes were disheveled and he looked quite battered. Frowning, he asked, “What happened?”

Housekeeper He let out a long breath. His gaze shifted to Luo Feng, and he secretly gritted his teeth as he quickly recounted what had occurred outside the City Lord Mansion earlier.

“You’re saying that brat dared to lay a hand on you?”

Xue Fei’s face darkened. He asked coldly, “Did he know your identities?”

Housekeeper He nodded. “I told him we are from Flame Sand City, but he showed us no regard whatsoever. And…”

“And what?”

A savage look flashed across Xue Fei’s face.

Housekeeper He paused for a moment, looked at Xue Fei, and continued, “I heard from people in the City Lord Mansion that he seems to be Yang Wanyi’s beloved, has already received City Lord Yang’s approval, and the two are already engaged.”

“So it was him!”

Xue Fei recalled Yang Wanyi’s earlier words, his expression jolting with realization.

He hadn’t believed her before, but the scene unfolding before his eyes undeniably proved it wasn’t a lie.

At this thought, a surge of rage and jealousy filled Xue Fei’s heart. The woman he had set his sights on would absolutely not be allowed to have any connection with another man! Moreover, this person dared to disrespect Flame Sand City—he absolutely could not be let off lightly!

Standing beside Xue Fei, Housekeeper He suddenly felt a sharp, chilling killing intent wash over him. His heart went cold. Looking up at Xue Fei’s dark and somber face, he asked, “Young Master, what do you intend to do?”

Xue Fei sneered. “He dared to injure my men and try to steal my woman? I will definitely teach him a lesson he’ll never forget for the rest of his life!”

The sound of footsteps approached as Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi walked over together.

“Xue Fei, let me introduce you. This is my fiancé, Luo Feng.” Then, turning to Luo Feng, “This is Xue Fei, the Young City Lord of Flame Sand City.” Yang Wanyi walked to their side, still holding Luo Feng’s left arm, and introduced them with a beaming smile.

Hearing this, Xue Fei’s gaze fell on Luo Feng, a sharp glint in his eyes. He said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “Luo Feng, the top new talent from the Four Great Academies. I’ve heard of you even in Flame Sand City. While the Four Great Academies aren’t much to speak of, to earn the title of top new talent, you must possess some ability.”

Hearing the sarcasm in Xue Fei’s words, Luo Feng frowned slightly and rubbed his nose. A puzzled look in his eyes, he turned to Yang Wanyi and asked, “Waner, where is this Flame Sand City? How come I’ve never heard of it?”

Yang Wanyi’s red lips curved into a faint smile, her limpid, beautiful eyes showing a hint of surprise. “Flame Sand City is one of the great powers among the Four Major Cities of our Flowing Cloud Region, you know. And you’ve never heard of it…?”

“Oh. It seems I’ve been living under a rock.”

Luo Feng smiled and casually placed his right hand on Yang Wanyi’s slender waist.

Hearing Luo Feng’s words, Xue Fei was inwardly so furious he could have spat blood. Within the Flowing Cloud Region, who wouldn’t have heard of Flame Sand City, one of the Four Major Cities! That fellow was clearly doing it on purpose!

Xue Fei’s gaze shifted downwards, landing on Luo Feng’s right hand resting on Yang Wanyi’s wasp-like waist. The corner of his eye twitched violently, and his eyes practically shot flames of fury.
