Chapter 584: Chapter 584: Money Talks! (2nd Update)

Yunlai Inn, within Hong Li’s guest room.

Hearing about Nangong Yin’s misdeeds, Ling Feng almost had the impulse to dust off his bottom and walk away. This guy truly lived up to his name; he might as well be called Nangong Lewd!

Why save such a person? To let him harm even more people?

"What a disgrace!" Qiaoqiao spat lightly in disgust. Being a woman herself, she naturally detested Nangong Yin’s behavior of toying with women.

"Scum!"

"Simply trash!"

Everyone cursed without end.

"It’s all because he has a powerful father."

Only Yuu Qian let out a cold snort, "It’s somewhat understandable for a Tianyang Empire Royal Family member to be arrogant and overbearing."

For a moment, all eyes turned sharply towards him, and he shuddered, quickly correcting himself, "But it’s one thing for that bastard to run wild in their Tianyang Empire; it’s unforgivable for him to come to our Sky White Empire."

Ling Feng huffed lightly. If Yuu Qian had a powerful father like Nangong Yin, he might not be much better than that rascal.

"This matter relates to a war between two nations; even though Nangong Yin’s character is indeed problematic, we must rescue him first and then make a judgement."

Yue Yunlan bit her red lips. Sometimes, for the greater good, one has to sacrifice their own principles.

If it were an ordinary time, not only would Yue Yunlan not rescue Nangong Yin, she might even cut him down with her sword.

But who made his identity so special? Moreover, the Tianyang Empire was willing to pressure with a large army and initiate war for his sake.

"Hmph, we’re actually going to save such scum!" Qiaoqiao wrote all her displeasure on her face, as the girl who hated evil the most, especially those who toyed with women.

"Okay, okay, the affairs of the nation are more important."

Yue Yunlan sighed lightly, and Ling Feng could clearly see the conflict in her heart, feeling a silent lament. Perhaps sometimes, being part of a great family, there were too many things that were beyond one’s control.

Clenching his fist, Ling Feng temporarily set aside his personal emotions, slowly saying, "Miss Yue is right; even though that guy is scum, we must first rescue him!"

"Mm." Hong Li nodded, glanced weakly in the direction of Despicable Donkey, and said, "There’s no time to delay. I believe we should act tonight, rescue Nangong Yin, and then immediately take him back to the Imperial City. I wonder what the senior thinks?"

"Are you asking me?"

Despicable Donkey shrugged, "Your human affairs, what do they have to do with this Divine Beast!"

Since the two parties were temporary teammates, Ling Feng had not concealed Despicable Donkey’s identity. Having a Demon Emperor Level powerhouse as backup gave everyone a sense of reassurance.

"Uh..." Hong Li’s expression stiffened, not expecting such a response from Despicable Donkey.

"But," Despicable Donkey’s eyes rolled, smirking, "as long as there’s money, anything can be negotiated in this world. Demon Emperors have their price too. Bring out your best items, and if you can move this Divine Beast’s heart, I might exert a little Divine Power and give you a hand."

"This..." Hong Li and the others were stunned again; this was downright blackmail!

Yue Yunlan bit her lip, gritting her teeth, "Divine Donkey, I still have some Elemental Crystals." (The so-called Elemental Crystals are the crystallized form of Upper Grade Elemental Stones, containing even purer Heaven and Earth Qi and used as Universal Currency by King-level and above powerhouses.)

"Elemental Crystal? Nice stuff!" Despicable Donkey’s eyes lit up, "Give it all to this Divine Beast!"

"Get your hoof back!"

Ling Feng slapped Despicable Donkey’s hoof away and gave him a look, "Alright, Despicable Donkey, we’re all friends here."

"Tsk!" Despicable Donkey stared at Ling Feng with disdain, "You and this girl are friends, but I am not!"

Yue Yunlan’s pretty face blushed, but she still dropped a bag of Elemental Crystals. Only then did Despicable Donkey feel satisfied, chuckling, "Stinky kid, this little girl may look so-so, but she’s rich. You can be her kept man and live off her wealth."

"And then give all the money you mooch to this Divine Beast, ho-ha-ha-ha..."

"You damn donkey!" Ling Feng almost wanted to sew this guy’s mouth shut. Even if he were to live off a woman’s wealth, why the hell should he give it to this damn donkey!

Yue Yunlan fought the urge to run away and gritted her teeth, "Divine Donkey, please stop making such jokes."

"Hmph!" Despicable Donkey lifted one leg up and lay down, flicking his tail and lazily humming a tune.

"Ptui, no wonder Young Master Ling calls you Despicable Donkey. You truly are insufferably shameless!" Qiaoqiao spat lightly and muttered under her breath.

Soon after, everyone started discussing the plan to rescue Nangong Yin. This time, it was unforgivable that Nangong Yin just showed up demanding people. Not to mention that the other side might not be willing to hand over the person, but if a fight broke out, they might end up helping the villain.

After much deliberation, they decided to sneak into the Lei Residence under the cover of night to quietly save Nangong Yin, which seemed to be a perfect solution.

...

Under the moonlight, five figures cut through the night at incredible speed.

According to the original plan, Ling Feng, Yue Yunlan, Hong Li, Despicable Donkey, and Yuu Qian—these five strong individuals would sneak into the Lei Residence to rescue Nangong Yin, while the others would stand by outside. Once Nangong Yin was rescued, they would leave Duling City immediately to avoid complications.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The group stopped in front of a huge manor to the south of the city. This place was the territory of the Lei Family, the big shots of Duling City.

"Junior sister, I’ve bribed a guard of the Lei Family and learned that they’ve locked Nangong Yin underneath a rockery in the central garden, inside an underground water prison."

Hong Li looked back at Yue Yunlan and spoke indifferently.

"Alright, let’s go in."

Yue Yunlan nodded slightly. Even though her senior brother Hong Li wasn’t very talented or articulate, he was shrewd and capable in his actions, truly her father’s right-hand man.

The five of them leapt up, each dressed in night clothes. In their rapid stealthy advance, they blended into the night, almost invisible. The strict guards in the manor, with sentries every few steps, were virtually ineffective against an infiltration team like Ling Feng’s.

Like ghosts, they breezed through the defenses and quickly arrived at the center of the manor. As expected, there was a huge rockery there. The group fumbled around the rockery, and eventually, they found a hidden mechanism, revealing a secret passage.

Ling Feng jumped in without hesitation, knocking out the guard with a simple move. In no time, the group reached the depths of the Dark Prison.

Indeed, there was someone imprisoned here, bound by sturdy chains and with his head hanging low, seemingly passed out.

"Young Master Nangong, is that you?"

Hong Li called out and quickly rushed to the door of the prison cell, not expecting that their rescue mission would go so smoothly.
