The ultimate master in the city

"You think I'll come up just because you tell me to, and I'll go down just because you tell me to? Do you think I'm a prostitute? Did you pay me?"

This was a quote from Monk Yuanzhi. Zhou Fengchen didn't know exactly what it meant, but he found it quite enjoyable to use. More importantly, after a day and a night of tossing and turning and killing three demons, he was exhausted and didn't want to move once he sat down on the boat.

Shangguan Xianyun's face flushed red again. She glared at Zhou Fengchen, crunching the lollipop to pieces until she finished it. Then she took out another one, narrowed her eyes, and sneered, "If anyone else had said such rude and vulgar things to me, I would have killed them eight times over."

That statement was truly menacing.

"I'm a little scared." Zhou Fengchen patted his chest casually.

Shangguan angrily asked, "Do you even know what that evil thing is? Where is it?"

"I really don't know! I was just making it up!"

Zhou Fengchen was depressed.

Swamp Forbidden Woman, Xi Yang, Mo Wei, and Ghost Jin Woman are all rare monsters, and they've all suddenly appeared. According to my father, there must be some special monster about to be born, but I really don't understand.

Shangguan Xianyun stared at him for a while before lying back down. "Fine! When are you going to get out of here?"

"Let's talk about it after we've rested!" Zhou Fengchen stretched.

Shangguan Xianyun's eyes darted around, and she asked with a smile, "Are you from out of town? Where are you planning to go?"

Zhou Fengchen thought for a moment, and there really was a place he could go. The landlady's house seemed to be called Hu Village, and the corpse of Axi Palace and that demoness had appeared in Hejia Town. He should go and check it out first. "About a hundred miles to the west, there's a Hejia Town and a Hu Village. How do I get there?"

Shangguan Xianyun blinked. "These two places are not easy to go. It's a hundred miles to go straight from here, and more than two hundred miles to go around. Plus, you have to climb several mountains. It's very easy to get lost. You, an outsider, won't be able to find it. Why don't you go to Guanxian Town first? It's crowded and lively there. Let a local take you there."

"That works," Zhou Fengchen nodded. "But how do I get to Guanxian Town?"

Shangguan Xianyun pointed at the sofa with her finger, a mischievous smile on her face, "I'm going there anyway, come with me."

"Thanks!" Zhou Fengchen felt that the girl's expression was strange, but he didn't take it to heart. He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to practice the "Three Powers Return to Origin Technique".

Shangguan Xianyun initially found Zhou Fengchen's appearance quite amusing, but as she looked at him, her expression turned serious.

……

As snow fell heavily, a small awning boat drifted on the reed-covered lake. Inside the cabin, one person sat cross-legged in meditation, while another stared blankly into space.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Fengchen felt the awning boat stop. He could faintly hear people making noise outside. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Shangguan Xianyun was no longer on the sofa.

He patted his forehead, lifted the leather curtain and went out. It was already afternoon, and the snow had lessened a bit. The awning boat was moored at a small dock in a market town. Most of the houses in the market town were bamboo houses, with only a small number being tiled houses. The town's customs and goods were very characteristic of Miao territory, and in the distance were misty mountains.

At this moment, dozens of burly men dressed in strangely styled Miao costumes surrounded the dock. They were all indignant, pointing at him and cursing, but they were speaking in dialect, which was hard to understand.

Zhou Fengchen scratched his head. Could it be that these people... were going to beat him up?

He instinctively looked around but didn't see Shangguan Xianyun. He asked, "What are you guys saying? Can you speak Mandarin?"

One of the hairy-faced men waved his hand to stop the crowd, and said menacingly in broken Mandarin, "I heard you, an outsider, bullied Princess Xianyun?"

"Fairy Charm...Princess?" Zhou Fengchen chuckled dryly, "Are you kidding? There are no princesses these days. Besides, I didn't bully her!"

"Stop making excuses!" the hairy-faced man said. "That's what the pretty girl next to her said. What are we going to do today? You'd better make a decision!"

The pretty girl next to her... isn't that herself?

Zhou Fengchen felt he had been tricked and shouted at the surroundings, "Shangguan Xianyun! You little wench, you even hired people to beat me up, is that fun? Come out here!"

……

Around the corner of a bamboo house not far away, Shangguan Xianyun covered her mouth, laughing uncontrollably. Turning back to a lifeless-looking man, she said, "Ah Da, Ah Xi Gong, don't you think this guy is funny?"

The man remained motionless.

Shangguan Xianyun continued, seemingly to herself, "His cultivation seems incredibly advanced, and he can sense the emergence of evil spirits just like Grandma. But how old is he? Do you think... he might also be here to propose marriage?"

The man remained motionless.

Shangguan Xianyun pouted, "I forgot you're dead! Grandma said that in twenty-three days that evil thing will be born. It will come looking for you and want me to take you around. What exactly is that evil thing?"

He stomped his foot in frustration as he spoke.

……

At this moment, Zhou Fengchen stared at the group of men in front of him and said, "Then tell me how you want to draw the line?"

"This is deep in the mountains, far from the reach of the emperor, where life and death are insignificant," the hairy-faced man said. "One-on-one or a group fight, the choice is yours."

"Who should I fight in a one-on-one fight? How do I fight in a group?" Zhou Fengchen asked.

The hairy-faced man chuckled, "In a one-on-one fight, you can take on the whole group; in a group brawl, we'll fight you. Haha, I'm so clever!"

Zhou Fengchen shrugged. "Why don't you just say you want to kill me? Why all the nonsense?"

"That's right! Attack!" A group of men rushed forward, and this was a real fight; their ferocity was beyond description.

Zhou Fengchen had no interest in fighting them; it was too boring. He rushed into the crowd, shoving and pushing, causing a ruckus. By the time the group realized what was happening, Zhou Fengchen had already disappeared.

Not far away, Shangguan Xianyun looked at the alley in the distance, curled her lips, and said, "This is boring. Let's go, Ah Da, let's eat, and then go kill that bastard from the Tang Clan."

……

"Crazy!" Zhou Fengchen glanced back at the group of men searching around the dock, cursed, and then turned to stroll around the market town.

This town must be a major transportation hub, with a large population, including not only local Miao people but also many Han people from other places. However, there are no cars or electrical appliances that need refueling, making it seem like a secluded paradise.

After walking for a while, Zhou Fengchen came across several inns and restaurants. He decided to eat something first, then find a place to sleep, and figure out how to get to Huzhai and Hejia Town the next day.

Zhou Fengchen casually entered a restaurant and glanced at the diners. When he saw a table of people, he was taken aback.

I ran into two acquaintances!

I like the novel "The Strongest Master in the City".
