When the guard captain heard that voice, his body trembled and he hurriedly hid the gold coin in his hand. He immediately ran over and knelt on one knee in front of that person. "Greetings, Fourteenth Young Master."
When Ling Xiao turned around, he saw a young man who looked to be in his early twenties glaring at him.
This young man's appearance was quite pretentious. He wore a luxurious robe, and his head was raised high. His two nostrils were like his eyes as he looked at people. He looked quite flashy, and when he strode forward, he had the demeanor of a young master.
However, in Ling Xiao's eyes, he looked like a wretch who deserved a beating.
Beside this young man, there was also a good-looking young woman. She had the figure of Anna and a full figure.
Just based on these two points, she really was the type of mature woman that Ling Xiao liked. However, when he looked at her face covered in rouge, Ling Xiao felt like vomiting.
She was clearly quite good-looking, so why did she have to put so much on? She was practically like a monster.
The young man in front of him was a direct descendant of the Lao family. He was ranked 14th and was known as the Fourteenth Young Master, Lao Feiyang.
Lao Feiyang arrived five meters away from Ling Xiao and the Golden Wolf King. He used his two nostrils to look at Ling Xiao and pointed at the Golden Wolf King. "You over there, why haven't you come down after seeing this young master? This spirit beast looks quite sturdy. Bring it to the Strange Fragrance Pavilion and have the chef cook it. It should taste quite good."
"Young master, you definitely have to let me have a taste," the woman coquettishly said to Lao Feiyang.
"Darling, don't worry. This young master will definitely leave you a big and fat piece of wolf meat to enjoy. At night, this young master will reward you with another night. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied to death." Lao Feiyang patted the woman's hand with a smile.
"Young master, you're so annoying." The woman rebuked as she leaned into Lao Feiyang's embrace.
"Hehe." Lao Feiyang laughed, but he found that Ling Xiao had already left on the Golden Wolf King.
There were many people in the city, so Ling Xiao didn't dare to recklessly ride the golden wolf king like he did just now. He could only move forward slowly.
"Bastard, he dares ignore my words! Captain Zhou, why aren't you going to stop him? If he gets away, your position as captain will be over," shouted Lao Feiyang unhappily.
"Yes, yes, Young Master, I'll immediately stop him." The captain of the guards hurriedly responded, but in his heart, he was cursing, "Are you blind? You actually want me to stop a third rank spirit beast? God bless me so that I don't get eaten by it!"
The captain of the guards and his group hurriedly ran over and stopped Ling Xiao once again, shouting, "This … This brother, you should stop, if you anger my young master, it will be difficult to deal with."
The Guard Captain had just received some benefits from Ling Xiao, so he naturally didn't dare to speak ill of him. Moreover, the Golden Wolf King in front of him was giving him a lot of pressure.
"Oh, could it be that this city is managed by your family's young master?" Ling Xiao asked lightly.
"This … of course not. However, there are many things in Blazing City that our Lao family has the final say," replied the Guard Captain.
Ling Xiao was just about to say something when Lao Feiyang caught up to him and shouted, "Why are you talking so much to him? Captain Zhou, kill this spirit beast. I don't have time to waste with him."
Ling Xiao glanced at Lao Feiyang and then gently rubbed the golden wolf king's forehead. "Xiao Jin, someone said that he wants to eat you. What do you think we should do?"
"Then I'll eat him first," replied the golden wolf king.
The third rank spirit beast had already gained intelligence and could sense that Lao Feiyang was hostile towards it.
"Then what are you waiting for?" asked Ling Xiao faintly.
In the next moment, the golden wolf king's body trembled, and its body began to shine with a golden light as it pounced forward like lightning.
Awooo!
The golden wolf king opened its bloody mouth and revealed its sinister fangs as it bit towards Lao Feiyang.
"Don't … don't come over!" Lao Feiyang was so frightened by the golden wolf king that he stumbled and fell to the ground. His face was pale as he waved his hands and called out.
Lao Feiyang was only a low-level profound practitioner. Only when the golden wolf king displayed its strength did he realize just how terrifying this enormous spirit beast was.
"Don't!" The Guard Captain immediately cried out in alarm as the longsword in his hand slashed towards the golden wolf king.
The guards behind the Guard Captain also made their move, and dozens of swords flew towards Ling Xiao and the golden wolf king.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The powerful attack produced an earth-shattering explosion, and the surrounding people were so frightened that they scattered in all directions.
The Guard Captain originally thought that Ling Xiao and the golden wolf king would disappear under this wave of attacks.
However, when the smoke dissipated, they saw that the man and beast weren't injured at all.
Fortunately, their young master hadn't been eaten by the spirit beast and was still sitting on the ground. Even the woman had fallen to the ground, and her face had turned pale from fright.
The front of their young master's pants was completely drenched. It turned out that yellow and white matter had come out from the fright, and the stench was abnormally disgusting.
Ling Xiao pinched his nose and looked at Lao Feiyang with disdain. He caressed the golden wolf king's head and said, "It stinks. Xiao Jin, let's go."
"Master, why didn't you let me eat him?" The golden wolf king asked.
"That guy is as skinny as a match, and he won't even be enough to fill the gaps between your teeth. Forget it," replied Ling Xiao.
The man and beast didn't care about anything else and slowly walked towards the east gate.
The Guard Captain didn't dare to stop them. The wolf spirit beast was clearly a rank 3 spirit beast, and that youth seemed to be an expert Spirit Master as well. Otherwise, how could he have withstood their full power attack and be fine?
"Too scary, it's good that we didn't anger him, or else we'd be in trouble." The Guard Captain wiped his cold sweat.
At this time, the Guard Captain remembered that their fourteenth young master was still sitting on the ground, trembling.
The Guard Captain endured the soaring stench and helped Lao Feiyang up before timidly asking, "Young … Fourteenth young master, are you alright?"
Lao Feiyang quivered before coming back to his senses. He raised his hand and viciously slapped the Guard Captain's face.
Pow!
Immediately, a bright red palm imprinted itself on the Guard Captain's face.
He was furious, but he still pretended to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, "I'm … I'm sorry, young master."
"Useless trash, you can't even stop a man and a beast with a dozen people. You motherfucker, go die!" Lao Feiyang flew into a rage out of humiliation and started punching and kicking the Guard Captain.
After venting his anger, Lao Feiyang turned to the other guards and yelled, "You bunch of trash, what are you still doing? Go back to the clan and call the Consecrated Elders out."
Burning City was the Lao Family's territory, and they were the biggest family here. They had absolute authority, and most of the rules were set by the Lao Family.
As a direct descendant of the Lao Family, Lao Feiyang had always been arrogant and conceited in Burning City. His own strength wasn't something to be scoffed at. If it weren't for his family's influence, he would have long since been thrown to the dogs.
Lao Feiyang had never been bullied like this before, and he had even been scared shitless in front of everyone. This had completely destroyed the wisdom he had accumulated over the years.
He swore that he would definitely make that man and beast disappear from Burning City.
… …
Ling Xiao naturally didn't care about this small matter and continued riding the Golden Wolf King.
The hidden guards in the surroundings were constantly watching Ling Xiao's tracks.
Ling Xiao didn't care at all. Even if the head of the Lao Family personally came, he wouldn't be afraid of him.
Although his strength hadn't reached the King level yet, he already had a life-saving technique that could make a King level expert suffer. What was there for him to be afraid of?
Ling Xiao had always adhered to the principle of "If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I'll pay them back tenfold."
Just as Ling Xiao passed by a restaurant, he saw a man on the second floor raise a glass of wine towards him and say in a clear voice, "Old Ma, would you do me the honor of drinking with me?"
Ling Xiao really didn't expect to meet someone who knew him in Burning City. Moreover, this person called him "Old Ma". Presumably, this person had been to Guzhai City or was originally from there.
Before Ling Xiao left Guzhai City, the priest had instructed him not to reveal his identity.
Now that he had been recognized not long after leaving, a trace of killing intent couldn't help but rise in his heart.
When Ling Xiao raised his head and saw who this person was, he couldn't help but be stunned. He directly smiled and replied, "Brother, I dare not refuse your invitation."
As Ling Xiao spoke, he gently stepped on the wolf's back and went to the second floor. At the same time, he put away the Golden Wolf King with the Spirit Beast Bracer.
The person who invited Ling Xiao up to drink was an elegant young man with a slightly pale face. He had a warm smile on his face and kept waving the white paper fan in his hand. He looked more or less like Zhuge Liang's "feather fan and silk towel" style. Coupled with the wine cup in his hand, he looked even more carefree.
This young man was Xuan Yao, who had participated in the fight for the priest's horse in Guzhai City.
Before Ling Xiao could sit down, he was attracted by the white paper fan in Xuan Yao's hand.
"Brother, can I have a look at the beautiful woman's fan in your hand?" Ling Xiao asked with a fawning expression.
Xuan Yao chuckled and said, "Old Ma, feel free to take it."
Ling Xiao smiled and took the fan. He saw that there were eight women drawn in the fan. Each woman seemed to be lifelike, making people feel amazed.
The lifelike drawing was not the reason why Ling Xiao was attracted to it. The most important thing was that each of the women in the painting had a peerless beauty, making people want to fall in love.
However, among the eight beauties, there was a portrait of his wife, the priest's daughter.
In the portrait, the priest's daughter was squatting down and picking spirit herbs. She looked very indifferent, and her whole person was lifelike, making her look extremely beautiful.
However, Ling Xiao still felt that something was missing.
Xuan Yao laughed dryly from the side and said, "Old Ma, please don't blame me for being rude. I secretly drew a portrait of Her Highness the priest's daughter. I … I couldn't help it."
"Why would I blame you? However, I'll accept this fan. Just treat it as a greeting gift from brother!" Ling Xiao responded and put away the white paper fan.
"Old Ma, you don't have to be so ruthless. This is my favorite weapon." Xuan Yao said with a bitter face. However, he was thinking in his heart, "I knew that something would be missing today. Sigh, I can't go against heaven's will!"
"How much is this broken weapon worth?
It seems that brother isn't a stingy person. Come, it's fate that we can meet here. Don't call me Old Ma, just call me Ling Xiao. In order to thank brother for giving me the fan, I'll drink first. "Ling Xiao said to Xuan Yao in a very familiar manner.
After that, he picked up a pot of wine and drank it.
