Chapter 278: Chapter 266: Bai Feiyu (3/3)

Only Zhou Heng and a few others knew that Ying Cheng’en’s explosive anger was not just because his residence had been destroyed, but also because Ying Mengfan had been kidnapped!

This was the object of his affection, naturally, he would be furious if someone stole it.

Another point was, Ying Mengfan was Ying Cheng’en’s own sister. Imprisoning his sister was a disgrace. If word got out, how embarrassing would that be?

Although Ying Cheng’en was powerful, he had not yet reached the extent where he could cover the sky with one hand and prevent the public’s criticism.

It wasn’t until now that Zhou Heng learned that Ying Cheng’en’s disappearance for so many days was due to a fight with Zhao Duotian!

Why they fought, the answer was simple. How could Zhao Duotian let Zhou Heng suffer grievances in vain? He personally took action and slaughtered several important members of the Ying Family, forcing Ying Cheng’en to come out and fight.

Dominance!

Who won and who lost, no one knew, but after Zhao Duotian returned, he began to go into seclusion. The upper echelons of the Zhao Family all knew that the next time this exceptionally outstanding Family Head came out, he might well have reached the Nascent Soul Realm!

Although he had successfully provoked Ying Cheng’en into a rage, Zhou Heng didn’t show any signs of pride.

This was just to disgust Ying Cheng’en for a bit, and it couldn’t be considered revenge! He would certainly break through to the Nascent Soul Realm before Ying Cheng’en and then let this so-called genius taste what it was like to be oppressed by someone of a higher realm.

A few days later, Zhou Heng received a request for help from Lu Chenfu.

"Someone is extorting you?" Zhou Heng asked.

"Yes, that person wants Chenfu to accompany him for one night and also give him one hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones every year in return for allowing Chenfu to do business in the Imperial Capital," Lu Chenfu said with remarkable calm.

"And what did you say?" Zhou Heng was even less anxious.

"One hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones is a trifle, but Chenfu is Young Master Zhou’s servant, and naturally, her body also belongs to Young Master Zhou. Chenfu cannot make this decision on her own," Lu Chenfu stated flatly.

Zhou Heng frowned slightly, showing a touch of displeasure.

Although Lu Chenfu was indeed a beautiful woman, no less beautiful than Xiao Huoshui and the other ladies, the thing was he didn’t have the slightest interest in her, nor any intention of developing a relationship beyond a professional partnership.

"I’ll meet him!" Zhou Heng said. He knew that Lu Chenfu was using reverse psychology, but since they were partners, he would naturally help when such a matter arose; there was no need for her to do this.

After they set off, Lu Chenfu began to fill Zhou Heng in on the situation.

The extortionist was called Bai Feiyu, from one of the three big families in Bright Moon, the Bai Family, and was not born into a branch family. He had a decent background; his father was an expert of the Mountains and Rivers Realm, but Bai Feiyu himself was nothing to write home about. All he knew was to indulge in pleasure; a 200-year-old man whose Cultivation Level was still only at the Initial Separation Realm, having forcibly enhanced it using various pills, he was basically hopeless for any further advancement.

— The higher-tier the pill, the more precious it is. The cost isn’t just multiplied by a few times—it’s by a hundredfold, a thousandfold! Even the Bai Family could not afford such waste to train a clan member who lacked ambition.

Although Bai Feiyu wasn’t high in the Martial Realm, relying on the backing of the Bai Family and with a Mountains and Rivers Realm expert as his father, he acted like a tyrant in the Imperial Capital. Many businesses had to first curry favor with him to operate, otherwise no one would dare supply them with goods, let alone come to purchase.

Over time, he naturally became more and more greedy, jumping at the chance to take a bite out of anyone he encountered.

In fact, if Lu Chenfu had waved the Zhao Family’s banner, Bai Feiyu would have had reservations even though he was greedy, as he didn’t lack this bit of extra income. However, Zhou Heng didn’t want to get too entangled with the Zhao Family. As a result, Lu Chenfu appeared very weak and in situations like Ruan Jiaying’s that she couldn’t resolve herself, she had no choice but to ask Zhou Heng for help.

"Miss Ruan is also in a tough spot," Lu Chenfu said solemnly, "a young master in charge at Heavenly Treasure Pavilion has taken a fancy to her and has been threatening and tempting her these days!"

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but shake his head; indeed, beauty was a curse. A beautiful woman always stirs up trouble wherever she goes!

But isn’t all this caused by the mischief of men’s lower halves?

"First, let’s take care of Bai Feiyu. Then I’ll meet that young master in charge!" Zhou Heng nodded. He did owe Ruan Jiaying quite a few favors, even though she helped him with ulterior motives.

Bai Feiyu had arranged to dine with Lu Chenfu tonight at Drunken Fragrance Building, planning to "enjoy" the beauty after the meal. In his opinion, a lone outsider like her had no choice but to submit to him.

When Zhou Heng and Lu Chenfu arrived at the private room, Young Master Bai was already impatiently waiting, snuggling with an enchantingly seductive woman, both kissing and fondling. He made no move to stop at the sound of the door; his hands remained inside the woman’s clothes, pressing on two mountain peaks.

Upon seeing Lu Chenfu, he first showed joy, but irritated when he saw another man accompanying her.

Bai Feiyu pushed the alluring woman away, who then stood by his side, striking a very voluptuous pose, with ample hips and breasts, and a waist only barely cinched, exuding charm.

There is no shortage of beautiful women in this world, but only one out of a hundred can cultivate to the Gathering Spirit Realm, let alone the Initial Separation Realm or the Land Cleaving Realm. The higher the cultivation level, the more imposing the presence, and when paired with the beauty of a woman, it translates to a distinct temperament.

Having thought about it, being able to revel on top of such high-grade beauty brings a psychological satisfaction that makes one elated.

Even though Lu Chenfu’s cultivation was not very high, she had at least stepped into the Gathering Spirit Realm. As a business prodigy, she had her own intelligent aura, which for many men, was a strong attraction too.

The enchanting woman by Bai Feiyu’s side was his favorite concubine. He had initially planned a threesome, but now why was there an extra man?

Although he acted unrestrainedly, he did not have such perverted tastes.

"Miss Lu, who is he?" Bai Feiyu glanced at Zhou Heng with disdain written all over his face.

Although Zhou Heng had become famous in the Imperial Capital in recent days, after all, it was just a name. Few recognized his face. Otherwise, even with the backing of the Bai Family, Bai Feiyu wouldn’t dare to display such an attitude.

It should be noted that Zhou Heng had slaughtered several members of the Ying Family!

"He is Chenfu’s master!" Lu Chenfu introduced briefly and then stepped aside, silently indicating her wish to let Zhou Heng handle the matter.

Earning some money really isn’t easy!

Zhou Heng sighed, took a seat, and said, "Bai Feiyu, huh? In the future, do not appear before me, nor harass her again, understand?"

"What are you!" Before Bai Feiyu could respond, his concubine had already begun scolding disdainfully.

Zhou Heng smiled faintly and with a flick of his finger, the gaudy woman was suddenly levitating in the air, hands clutching her own neck, her two pale legs kicking wildly, her face instantly turning crimson.

"Stop it now!" Bai Feiyu yelled loudly. Although his cultivation level wasn’t high, he had seen enough to know Zhou Heng’s strength far exceeded his own. Therefore, he didn’t dare to strike, only shouting from the sidelines.

"I am a scion of the Bai Family, my father is Bai Ronghai, an expert of the Mountains and Rivers Realm!" He brought out his entire family as leverage.

With a casual wave from Zhou Heng, the gaudy woman fell to one side. He asked, "Should I be afraid?"

Bai Feiyu was inwardly shocked. Although he was the typical profligate son, he was by no means stupid. His expression became serious, and he clasped his fists and said, "Might I ask for your esteemed name, brother?"

"Brother Yu!" The concubine, looking full of grievance, had never seen Bai Feiyu act so weakly before. Her man’s woman was being bullied, and yet he was not getting angry.

"Go away!" Bai Feiyu scolded coldly. He liked this woman most when she was enthusiastic in bed but now seeing her inability to assess the situation properly, he suddenly found her quite annoying.

Zhou Heng smiled and replied, "My name is Zhou Heng!"

"Zhou Heng? That Zhou Heng!" Bai Feiyu paused for a moment before asking again.

A surge of shock and awe flooded his mind!

Zhou Heng had undoubtedly been the hottest topic these days. Even someone as frivolous as Bai Feiyu had heard of him. It was hard not to; people everywhere were discussing him.

This fellow had mastered the Domain Path in the Mountains and Rivers Realm!

Mastering a domain was tantamount to having a ticket to the Nascent Soul Realm!

In other words, as long as Zhou Heng could keep on living, he would reach the Nascent Soul Realm someday without a doubt. Moreover, given Zhou Heng’s monstrous potential, this time frame would definitely not be long, at most, no more than a hundred years!

Just a mere hundred years, and Bright Moon Country would have a new Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor, equal to the current three top experts, universally esteemed!

In a flash, a fierce excitement rose in Bai Feiyu’s heart!

What if he could build a relationship with this rising star of the Empire?

In the future, he could be friends with a Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor. How prestigious and powerful would that sound? Moreover, the Nascent Soul Realm might not be the end for Zhou Heng—if he advanced further, reaching the Divine Infant Realm?

This was a relationship he had to establish!

Bai Feiyu made a swift decision, his face instantly breaking into a broad smile. He said, "So it’s Brother Heng, I was unaware previously and have offended you. I will drink three cups as self-punishment, please do not take it to heart, Brother Heng!"

He quickly drank three cups, without any hesitation, showing a very humble posture.

Zhou Heng contemplated for a moment. He could see that Bai Feiyu wanted to build a relationship with him. Considering that Lu Chenfu needed substantial support to establish herself here and he was unwilling to utilize the power of the Zhao Family, why not develop his own influence?

He had no interest in being the head of a bunch of hooligans, but it seemed like a good idea to have them escort his ventures.

Zhou Heng gave a faint smile and remained noncommittal, but his decision not to walk away gave Bai Feiyu the best hint. Such scions are most astute in their insight, and it would be impossible for him not to understand. Immediately, Bai Feiyu began to call him "Brother Heng" affectionately, and to an unknowing onlooker, it would seem like Zhou Heng was Bai Feiyu’s long-lost blood brother.

During the banquet, Bai Feiyu beat his chest in assurance that he would support Lu Chenfu with everything he had. He even wanted to give his beloved concubine to Zhou Heng, but one stern look chased that offer away, teaching him that flattery had backfired.

Bang!

The hosts and guests were in great spirits, enjoying the feast, when suddenly a loud noise erupted as the door was kicked open. A young man dressed in brocade robes strode in with a swagger.

"Bai Feiyu, I heard you’re hosting a feast here and came specially to offer a toast!" Although the man spoke of offering a toast, his demeanor and tone were in no way hospitable but full of provocation.

Bai Feiyu immediately showed a look of anger, saying, "Little Fourth Li, when did you become so bold as to act so presumptuously in front of me!"

"’Little Fourth Li’ is a name you can call?" The young man said haughtily, his gaze sweeping over Lu Chenfu and the concubine, expressing a hint of avarice.
