Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage

On the bed next to him, Zhou Ming lay in the same position, looking just as bad, even more listless.

There was a heavy, painful atmosphere in the room.

Lin Feng walked to Zheng Hongwen's bedside and said softly, "Junior Brother Zheng."

Zheng Hongwen opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Lin Feng. A glimmer of light managed to squeeze out of his dim eyes, and his lips moved, his voice hoarse and weak: "Lin... Senior Brother Lin... you've come."

When Zhou Ming saw that the person who came was Lin Feng, he opened his mouth but then closed it again.

Lin Feng: "How are you? Are you alright?"

Zheng Hongwen forced a bitter smile: "My body is fine, but I'm afraid I'll never be able to practice martial arts again in this lifetime."

That's fine, it puts an end to my idea of ​​practicing martial arts.

"I'm just... I feel a little sorry for my sister."

As he finished speaking, his lips trembled slightly, his eyes reddened, and his face was filled with regret.

Lin Feng advised, "It's good that everyone is alright. As long as the green hills remain, there's always hope."

There will always be opportunities in the future.

Zheng Hongwen gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of his mouth, his eyes staring blankly at the roof beam.

He knew Lin Feng was just comforting himself. His family had already exhausted all their resources to pay for his martial arts training; where would they find the extra money to let him start over?

Lin Feng suddenly remembered a certain pill he had seen in Huang Xiong Huan's memories, the Bone Shaping Pill, which could restore the aftereffects of broken bones and was considered the best pill for the Body Refinement Realm.

"Junior Brother Zheng, I've heard of a 'Bone-Shaping Pill' that might allow you to continue practicing martial arts."

Zheng Hongwen shook his head, his smile becoming even more bitter: "Of course I know about the Bone Shaping Pill, but one pill costs over a hundred taels of silver, how can I afford it?"

By the time I've saved enough money, I'll be too old, and I'm afraid there's no hope for it in this lifetime.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Feng felt a little embarrassed to come to see a patient empty-handed.

I wanted to get some silver, but I found that I was so poor that I had no silver left, except for the two gold notes from last night.

I gave up on the idea of ​​giving them money; I'll just buy something next time.

At worst, I'll teach him a skill, and he'll be set for life.

While the world may lack many other things, there is still a constant stream of new and exciting snack recipes.

"Actually, being an ordinary person isn't necessarily bad."

The path of martial arts training is inherently dangerous.

Look at the Huang Family Martial Arts School, it just disappeared without a trace.

Zheng Hongwen remained silent, the gloom in his eyes not dissipating.

Lin Feng knew these words of comfort were too weak, so he said a few more words and then got up to leave.

Zheng Hongwen could have avoided this ordeal by enduring for just two more days.

As soon as he reached the front yard, Jiang Rou and Yuan Chun were already waiting for him.

"Senior sister, senior brother."

Jiang Rou raised her beautiful eyes and said decisively, "Let's go, let's get revenge."

Lin Feng was taken aback: "Whom are you going to take revenge on?"

"Of course it's Huang Shouye."

He beat Zheng Hongwen and Zhou Ming from the charity so badly; he must pay compensation and provide medicine.

Seeing Jiang Rou's energetic demeanor, Lin Feng thought it wouldn't hurt to kick her while she was down, and without hesitation, said, "Okay, let's go."

Yuan Chun hesitated, however: "Should we inform our master first?"

Jiang Rou had expected this. "I told Dad before I came, and he agreed."

"Then let's go." Yuan Chun no longer hesitated.

Before leaving, Jiang Rou waved to the disciples who were practicing martial arts in the courtyard: "You three, come along too."

"Yes, Senior Sister." The three of them responded immediately, though they didn't know why.

Yuan Chun said in a low voice, "The three of us are enough. Why bring so many people?"

"There's strength in numbers," Jiang Rou said, raising her chin. "Let's go."

The group arrived at the Huang Family Martial Arts School.

At this moment, a large crowd had gathered outside the martial arts school, numbering roughly over a hundred, completely blocking the entrance.

"Give me back my hard-earned money!"

"Pay up! Pay up!"

"A life for a life! Hand over Huang Shouye!"

Shouts and curses rose and fell.

The crowd consisted mostly of ordinary people who had been bullied by the Huang family martial arts school, with a few martial arts practitioners among them.

To Lin Feng's surprise, there were four men with knives guarding the entrance of the Huang Family Martial Arts School.

The two men on the left look familiar; they are disciples of the Tian family martial arts school.

Judging from their attire, the two people on the right should be from the Li Family Martial Arts School.

The four men stood with knives in hand, their faces cold and hard, which momentarily silenced the noisy crowd outside the door.

Jiang Rou pushed aside the people in front of her and walked straight to the door: "Make way, we want to go in."

Four long swords flashed horizontally, blocking the way.

"The Huang Family Martial Arts School has been taken over by us. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach. Please leave immediately."

Jiang Rou snorted coldly: "We're looking for the Huang Family Martial Arts School, what's it to you?"

Don't be a busybody!

"Oh, who do we have here?"

The disciple from the Tian Family Martial Arts School raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly, his tone flippant, "So it's Miss Jiang from the Black Tiger Martial Arts School."

Why aren't they properly carrying the corpse at the charity hall? Why are they here making a scene?

"How about you have a couple of drinks with us tonight, and we'll let you in?"

Before Jiang Rou could speak, Yuan Chun roared in fury, "You're asking for death!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already darted to the door.

The four men raised their long swords simultaneously, their blades gleaming coldly.

Tensions rose sharply.

"Yuan Chun, don't be ungrateful."

One of them said coldly, "The Huang Family Martial Arts School is now under our protection."

Anyone who causes trouble here is going against both our families.

His gaze swept across the crowd, and the previously indignant crowd immediately lost its momentum, with many people quietly shrinking back.

Yuan Chun's face was grim. He hadn't expected that the Huang Family Martial Arts School had fallen to such a state, yet the Tian and Li families were still willing to step in and protect it.

If we force our way in, we will offend both martial arts schools at the same time, so it is indeed not advisable to take action right now.

"Huang Shouye injured my Black Tiger Martial Arts School disciple. It is only right and proper for me to seek justice from him. This has nothing to do with you."

"Hmph, it really is related."

The Tian family disciple sneered, "I'm not afraid to tell you, Huang Shouye has already mortgaged all of the Huang family's businesses—gambling dens, pawnshops, farmland, and residences—to us in exchange for our guarantee for him for a year. Right now, our master is inside discussing how to dispose of these businesses."

"Perhaps this Huang family martial arts school will change its name to Tian in a few days."

Lin Feng was surprised that Huang Shouye was actually quite clever.

Yuan Chun wanted to argue, but Lin Feng stopped him.

"Senior brother, forget it."

Forcing your way in is pointless; it will only escalate the conflict and waste time.

"Why don't we go back first and discuss this further?"

Lin Feng knew in his heart that the Tian family martial arts school wouldn't be arrogant for long.

Now that Zhao Erniu has learned of Zhao Erbao's death, he will not let it go.

It won't be too late to settle everything at that time.

Yuan Chun pondered for a moment and also felt that it made sense.

Although the four major martial arts schools are at odds with each other, they each have their own sphere of influence.

It would be unwise for Black Tiger Martial Arts School to simultaneously antagonize both the Tian and Li families.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Jiang Rou glared angrily at the four men: "This isn't over! We'll see."

The four men, holding their swords, sneered dismissively, not taking it seriously.

Back at the Black Tiger Martial Arts School, Yuan Chun told Jiang Hu the whole story.

Lin Feng took the opportunity to leave and went to the cemetery alone.

He wanted to see if Zhao Erniu would show up again today.

Around noon, a figure pushing a cart appeared in front of the cemetery; it was Zhao Erniu.

As Lin Feng approached, he carefully observed Zhao Erniu's expression. Despite what had happened the previous night, Zhao Erniu showed no unusual expression, as if he had simply done a small favor.

"Young Master Lin, I have successfully completed my mission. Huang Xiong Huan has been killed."

"Thank you very much, Brother Erniu, you are truly amazing."

"It's nothing," Zhao Erniu said, lifting the tarpaulin off the car.

Below them was a huge, ferocious tiger.

Lin Feng exclaimed, "This tiger is quite large!"

"This is for the young master."

Lin Feng asked in confusion, "You can't accept rewards without merit. What's the reason for this?"

Zhao Erniu solemnly cupped his hands: "Last night I learned about Erbao's news from Huang Xionghuan. It was all thanks to your guidance, young master, that I was saved a lot of trouble."

This tiger is a thank-you gift.

"No," Lin Feng said seriously, "one thing at a time. I asked you to kill Huang Xiong Huan, so I should be thanking you."

If we keep passing the buck like this, business will become harder in the future.

Zhao Erniu said, "If you don't accept it, I won't be able to explain it to my elder sister when I get back."

If you do this, it will be difficult for me to do business with you in the future.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Lin Feng stopped refusing and readily agreed, "Okay, then I'll do as you say."

He paused, then asked, "Who exactly did the killing of Erbao?"

Zhao Erniu's eyes turned cold, and he uttered four words:

"Tian Family Martial Arts School, this grudge will be avenged!"
