Chapter 2205 - 2204: Forced Buying and Selling
Wuu De and Xiao Ren came to Tianshu City this time not to uphold justice.
To put it bluntly, the two had their eyes on the things in Wan Baochun’s hands, with the Peerless Beauty and Heavenly Scent Scroll being the first item.
Xiao Ren suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Earlier, Second Brother used a Sealing Charm to shatter Brother Long’s escape talisman. How will Brother Long get out now?"
Despite his age, calling Long Fei "Brother" felt quite normal, which made Long Fei feel a bit awkward.
Wuu De patted his head and said, "It’s all my fault. I’m afraid it’ll be troublesome for us to get out. We need to find a flaw in this ancient painting to have a hope of leaving. I noticed earlier that everyone’s escape talisman is different. Even if we take someone else’s talisman, it might not work to get out."
Long Fei chuckled, "You two brothers don’t need to worry, you leave first, I’ll come out later."
"Brother is truly brother; we are convinced!"
The two saw Long Fei’s unchanged expression, knowing he surely had a way to get out.
Xiao Ren, increasingly confident, said, "Then let’s do as Brother says. Once we’re out, we’ll immediately deal with that villain."
Wuu De nodded, "That’s right, I’ve long found him displeasing."
Long Fei advised, "Don’t rush, my brothers. Once out, endure the night before acting."
"Hmm?"
The two looked at Long Fei, curious, "Why?"
Long Fei smiled, "Know yourself and know the enemy, and you’ll be invincible in a hundred battles. We have no understanding of this villain; acting hastily might cost us. After we’re out, let’s keep in touch. When the time is right, I’ll call you brothers for help."
Xiao Ren stared at him and then sneered, "I get it, Brother plans to marry that young lady once he gets out, right?"
Wuu De laughed, "I heard that the young lady is extremely ugly!"
"Can we speak properly?"
Long Fei shook his head with a smile, stood up, and urged the two to leave.
He went to the mountain to cover their retreat, going up to block the group of approaching women.
These women were all tricky Souls of Painting, each capable of manipulating the Laws within the painting, enchanting the mind.
Knowing the capability of these women, Wuu De and Xiao Ren said no more, bid farewell with cupped fists to Long Fei, and each crushed their talisman to leave.
The talisman flashed with Mysterious Light, and promptly whisked them out.
A group of women was rushing up, and seeing this, their expressions changed.
One of them fiercely snarled at Long Fei, "Seems you don’t want to stay and keep us company!"
Long Fei laughed and shouted, "With looks this ugly, who’s willing to stay?"
He spewed a mouthful of Samadhi True Fire, directly engulfing the women in the blazing flames.
The women had originally drawn their Longswords, ready to trap and kill Long Fei.
Who would have expected this fellow to set a fire suddenly.
They couldn’t withstand the scorching of the Samadhi True Fire, and with miserable screams, they dissipated into black smoke.
Once Long Fei saw no one around, he summoned the Ancient Imperial Bell and struck it fiercely toward the Void.
With a boom, the bell rang, reverberating as if from the Primordial World, instantly tearing the Laws of the Void, revealing a black crack in front of him.
He stepped out from within, easily leaving.
Once out of the crack, the space changed immediately, the sun shining brightly, returning to the outside world.
From the time they entered to the time they came out.
Outside, it felt as if only a moment had passed, not even the time it takes for a breath.
Inside the world, however, more than half a day had passed.
Wuu De and Xiao Ren stared at Long Fei from the outside, stunned with their mouths agape in surprise.
They exchanged a glance, not rushing to talk to Long Fei, still pretending to be strangers.
Initially, they had doubts, but now their confidence surged, secretly thinking they’ve made a correct decision.
Even if they were trapped inside the ancient painting, they wouldn’t dare claim they’d be able to come out in such a short time.
Wang Xiaoya and Kong Qing, seeing Long Fei, all joyfully gathered around.
Wang Xiaoya teased with a smile, "Not bad, seems you weren’t seduced by the beauties inside."
Kong Qing laughed, "Over ten thousand went in, but only around a thousand came out. It seems lusty men are indeed rare."
"You really underestimate me, the women inside might be pretty, but compared to you two, they’re bland and tasteless!"
Long Fei chuckled, taking the opportunity to flatter the two beauties.
"Smooth talker!"
The two were all smiles, leaving Wuu De and Xiao Ren stunned, thinking to themselves that this brother sure was extraordinary, attracting such remarkable women.
No wonder there was no reaction when discussing marriage earlier.
Just then, a loud laugh came from the pavilion on the square, "The world is vast, and indeed there are people defying the heavens. My son-in-law has been found."
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Long Fei, dressed in a merchant’s brocade clothes with a Jade Belt, looking cheerfully at Long Fei.
Long Fei protected Wang Xiaoya and Kong Qing, cupped his fists at the newcomer, "Greetings, senior!"
Who else could it be but Wan Baochun?
He happily patted Long Fei’s shoulder, saying, "Good lad, with such a dignified appearance and great talent, you shall be my Wan Baochun’s son-in-law. There’s no time like the present; tonight, I shall hold a grand wedding ceremony for you and my daughter."
"Isn’t this inappropriate?"
Long Fei raised his brows, feigning surprise.
Wan Baochun looked at him and said, "What, do you look down on our Wan family, or is there another reason?"
Long Fei cupped his fists, "Senior, I already have two wives, I can’t marry your daughter. I didn’t enter the painting for your daughter, please forgive me."
Wan Baochun glanced at Wang Xiaoya and Kong Qing, and without giving a chance for argument, said, "What does it matter? Cultivators aren’t bound by mundane rituals. I, Wan Baochun, promised that whoever comes out of that ancient painting will be my son-in-law. Don’t go against my wishes and make me lose face!"
He was dominant, not allowing Long Fei any room to refute.
Long Fei was merely testing him, worried about mistakenly harming a good person.
Seeing this, he didn’t argue further, planning to see what kind of person this young lady was on the wedding night.
Wan Baochun using such a method to choose a son-in-law definitely wasn’t a simple matter.
The old man returned to the pavilion, cupping his fists towards all the cultivators saying, "Everyone, today is truly a joyous occasion. Tonight I shall host a wedding for my daughter and son-in-law, please stay and have a drink, not leaving until drunk."
The local cultivators all stomped their feet, full of envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Long Fei.
The Extraterritorial Cultivators, however, were anxious, especially those with relatives and friends inside the ancient painting.
Seeing Wan Baochun not mention it, they were red-faced, wishing to grab the ancient painting to see if they could release their friends.
Wang Xiaoya and Kong Qing exchanged a glance, pinching Long Fei hard from behind, not knowing what he was planning.
Long Fei used Divine Sense to tell them to keep calm, and by tonight they’d understand his intentions.
Just then, a group of maidservants approached, bowing to Long Fei, "Please come with us, Lord, and the first and second madams, to change clothes."
This wedding was indeed an enforced affair, allowing no room for opposition.
Long Fei gave Wang Xiaoya and Kong Qing a look, and they followed along.
Up in the pavilion, beneath the red veil, the young lady finally moved, licking her lips and coldly chuckling, "Tonight there’s prey to feast on."
