The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

The bandits who had been kindly advised by Ning Feng were first taken aback, then looked at each other, and finally turned to look at the burly man at the back of the crowd:

"Boss... um, is he threatening us?"

Behind the crowd, a bald, burly man in the finest leather armor, arms crossed, slowly nodded and said in a deep voice:

"That seems to be the case."

The atmosphere fell into a deathly silence as the bandits stared at each other strangely.

His shoulders kept shrugging, and finally...

puff.

It's unclear who was the first to break down, but the group of thugs wielding weapons could no longer contain their laughter.

"Heh, hahaha!"

"Hahahaha, did you hear that?! Hahaha..."

On a deserted forest path, several bandits burst into laughter, pointing at Ning Feng with glee.

"He, he, he, hahaha, he actually threatened us!"

"Hahaha, where did this young master come from!"

"This is hilarious! I can't take it, I'm going to die laughing...cough cough, haha..."

They laughed so hard they bent over, almost laughing until tears streamed down their faces.

No wonder they were so relaxed.

With a significant numerical advantage, our side is in no danger whatsoever.

And at this time, the other party still dared to spout nonsense and even tried to rob them.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

That's hilarious!

Such people are either insane or naive young people.

Or, are both?

But what does it matter?

It doesn't matter if he's a madman or an idiot sneaking out to realize his heroic dream.

While they laughed wildly, revealing their numerous weaknesses, Ning Feng did not make a move.

He neither showed anger nor chose to run away.

He stood quietly in place, sword in hand, watching the bandits laughing wildly.

It's like watching a bunch of silly kids weighing around 200 pounds.

Have fun, laugh, this is the last happy time!

There will come a time when you all cry.

I've never been one to hold grudges.

Moreover, there is another reason why they didn't make a move right away.

"Speeding through story-driven games is not a commendable habit."

It's not like you need to mindlessly mow down enemies and go on a rampage; you should pay more attention to what each NPC is saying.

What if we find something useful?

And even if you get nothing, that's not a problem.

It's just that I was mocked by a few minor characters in the story. Would anyone really get angry about that?

No way?

Please, those are two-dimensional characters.

After laughing for a while, the bandits gradually calmed down. Although they would still chuckle from time to time, they were no longer so out of control.

After watching for a while with his arms crossed, the burly man finally coughed lightly and said:

"Ahem, alright, alright, let's get down to business."

The bandit at the front laughed so hard he almost choked, and then he shouted at Ning Feng, who was not far away:

"Hey! Young Master."

Are we finally going to start talking?

Ning Feng perked up, eagerly anticipating what was to come.

"Have you been listening to too many adventure stories? Do you think you're a hero or a warrior?"

Oh?

Ning Feng raised an eyebrow and nodded approvingly at the other party.

I didn't realize you had such good taste.

"You're nodding! Hahaha, this is hilarious! Boss, can we take this guy back with us?"

The bandit leader remained standing, not stepping forward. Upon hearing this, he raised his eyelids slightly and said indifferently:

"Do what you're supposed to do."

Tsk.

Bandit Number One smacked his lips blatantly and shook his head regretfully at Ning Feng:

"Alright, young master, you heard it too. It's not that I don't want to let you go, it's our boss's order."

"Blame him if you must, hahaha."

Ning Feng smiled and shook his head in return:

"No, it's okay, you can do as you please... I don't mind."

After saying that, Ning Feng thoughtfully reminded him:

"But have you thought it through?"

"I advise you to take the initiative, otherwise... there really won't be a chance to regret it."

Tsk!

The dismissive attitude of "rather keep quiet than change" ultimately succeeded in angering the other party.

The bandits' smiles gradually faded, and they sized up the oblivious young nobleman with gloomy eyes.

"Hey! You better stop now."

"Don't think that just because you have a effeminate face, people have to fawn over you, young master."

Ning Feng: ?

Her originally elegant smile froze slightly, and a hint of unease appeared on her smiling expression.

Wait, what did you say?

Who looks like a woman?

Explain yourself!

"Honestly, ever since that idiot hero king ascended to the throne, there have been more idiot young masters like you."

"They're all a bunch of brainless idiots who only read those fabricated, rubbish biographies and then became obsessed with him!"

As the bandit spoke, his expression turned eccentric, filled with barely suppressed rage.

"King of Heroes? Hero... Hero!"

! ”

"A hero who only knows how to point a sword at himself? Screw him."

His eyes widened in fury, and he roared:

"To hell with the King of Heroes!"

"He is not fit to be king!"

At the end, he angrily spat out a mouthful of phlegm.

Pooh!

He was spitting out the treacherous, unworthy, and clown king he spoke of!

Ning Feng coldly observed the bandits' erratic behavior, pondering the information it provided him.

The bandits harbored deep resentment towards the king.

The king once did something that involved harming his own people.

The king is unworthy of the title "Hero King".

The connection between them doesn't seem difficult to deduce.

Internal strife?

Or did they launch some kind of purge against another faction?

Ning Feng pondered, his smile widening as he thought to himself:

"This plot seems rather interesting."

After venting their anger, the bandits calmed down and sneered:

"But it's also good. Thanks to him, our business has improved. We always run into idiots like you."

"If you're going to hate someone, then hate him."

"It's all because of his fault that someone like you has ended up in this situation."

Raising his left hand, Ning Feng asked curiously, under the other person's puzzled gaze:

"Is there any grudge between you and the king? Could you elaborate?"

Is there any inside information? I'm very curious.
