“Could it be that you want me to just sit back and watch?” Xiang Yong shouted angrily, his expression constantly changing, his expression twisted and distorted, clearly in a state of war.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Zheng said, “Xiang Yong, you have to remain calm at this time, your impulse may ruin things.”
“That’s easy for you to say, but it’s all in vain!” Xiang Yong said solemnly, “Manager Zhou, just pretend you don’t know anything about what happened today. I’ll go kill him right now!”
“If you want him dead, you don’t have to do it yourself!” Zhou Zheng sneered.
Xiang Yong, who was just about to leave, heard this and immediately stopped, turning to look at Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng’s expression changed drastically, “I said some nonsense after drinking, it can’t be taken seriously. It’s late at night, this king will go back and rest.” Saying so, he prepared to leave.
Xiang Yong swung his great axe down towards Zhou Zheng’s front, his burly figure blocking the door as he stared down at him.
Zhou Zheng didn’t show any fear as he narrowed his eyes slightly, “Xiang Yong, are you trying to fight with this king? This king drank too much wine and became a bit delirious, it seems like your brain is damaged.”
Xiang Yong said in a low voice, “Manager, you have reached the Open Heaven Stage, so this one admits that I am no match for you. If we were to really fight, I would only be humiliated. However, Xiao Die’s matter has a great deal to do with this one, so if manager has any good ideas, please speak frankly. This one is extremely grateful.”
“What if I don’t?” Zhou Zheng stared at him coldly.
Xiang Yong grinned maliciously, “Although the manager is Open Heaven, he is only a First Order Open Heaven cultivator. Even if I were to put my life on the line, I estimate I would be able to eat two or three kilograms of your flesh!”
“You’re crazy!” Zhou Zheng’s expression suddenly changed.
Xiang Yong scratched his head with a fierce expression, “Please teach me!”
Zhou Zheng didn’t say anything and just stared at Xiang Yong, his eyes filled with determination and ruthlessness.
After a long time, Zhou Zheng finally said, “Xiang Yong, why must you do this! Since Lady Die You has no interest in you, why must you insist?”
“That’s my business, sir manager need not worry about it!”
“Ah!” Zhou Zheng sighed, “Originally, it was not my place to say anything about this matter, but seeing how infatuated you are, it’s not like I can’t give you some advice, but…”
Xiang Yong said, “Rest assured, sir manager, this matter has nothing to do with you. No matter what the final result is, this Xiang will bear the consequences!”
“Good!” Zhou Zheng nodded, “Since that’s the case, come closer!”
Xiang Yong quickly stepped forward while Zhou Zheng lowered his voice and whispered to him for a while. Xiang Yong’s expression changed as he listened, secretly thinking that Zhou Zheng was truly ruthless. If this really happened, Yang Kai would die without a doubt!
A moment later, Zhou Zheng said solemnly, “The implications of this matter are too great. If this matter is exposed, you won’t have a good ending. You must consider carefully.”
Xiang Yong chuckled, “It’s a good idea from sir manager. If I don’t do something about it, wouldn’t I be letting you down?”
“What does that have to do with me?” Zhou Zheng was shocked.
Xiang Yong quickly slapped his own mouth and said, “Yes, yes, yes, it has nothing to do with sir manager, it’s all my idea. Come, come, drink, drink.”
The table had been kicked over, so what was the point of drinking? Zhou Zheng flicked his sleeve and said, “It’s late, this king will go back and rest.”
Xiang Yong said, “Then I’ll leave the matters of the day after to Manager Zhou.”
Zhou Zheng staggered, not knowing if the idea he had given him was a blessing or a curse, but it was too late to regret now. Looking at Xiang Yong’s expression, he knew he had to do it, so he could only secretly pray that he would hit the man’s chest and make him never recover.
Life in the servants’ house wasn't very exciting. After Yang Kai returned from Die You’s place, he sat down to meditate and rest. The next day, he took Old Fang to the market to broaden his horizons.
Although he had a rough understanding of the situation in the market, there were still many strange things in the stalls, all of which had been brought out from their respective worlds.
In order to buy the Third Grade Stainless Golden Dew for Die You, he had gone bankrupt and owed Old Fang a little Open Heaven Pill, but he wasn’t in a hurry. In any case, he would be able to earn a large sum of Open Heaven Pills next month.
In the market, eating and drinking were all Old Fang’s responsibility, so Old Fang naturally wouldn’t hold it against him. He even secretly took him to a place.
This place was extremely well hidden and seemed unremarkable from the outside, but after entering it, one would know that there was a different world inside. The people who had come here not only included the servants in the servants’ house, but also some Seven Skillful Land Disciples, many of whom wore seven colored garments and were enjoying themselves.
Yang Kai was extremely shocked as he pulled Old Fang and asked, “There’s actually such a place in the market place?”
Old Fang sneered, “What’s so strange about that? Since ancient times, this line of work has been seen everywhere.”
“These girls… who are they?” Yang Kai looked around.
Old Fang sighed, “It's all servants from various Spiritual Lands, and all live for the sake of their lives. In the past, we didn’t have much ability, but now that we have, we naturally have to help whenever we can.”
Yang Kai looked at him with a strange expression. This was the first time he had heard someone speak so highly of him. Frowning slightly, he said, “The servants shouldn’t have much money.”
Old Fang said, “That’s why most of the people who come here are disciples from the Seven Skillful Land. There are very few people who are actually servants who come here to seek pleasure. Although this place is not specially opened for the disciples of the Seven Skillful Land, it is basically only enjoyed by them.”
It was just as Old Fang had said, most of the people Yang Kai saw here were Seven Skillful Land Disciples. There were only a few servants here, including the two of them.
“Enough nonsense, hurry up and find a young lady to take care of you,” Old Fang pushed him and pointed to a group of ten or so women, “Take whoever you like upstairs.”
Saying so, he went upstairs and knocked lightly on a door. A moment later, the door opened and a jade hand reached out to grab Old Fang.
Yang Kai’s jaw dropped as he stood there scratching his head. Looking to the side, the dozen or so women also stared at him curiously, but none of them showed any intention of greeting him.
This place was mainly maintained by the Seven Skillful Land’s disciples, and it only opened for three days a month. The girls all knew that if they wanted to earn money, it would be best if they could earn it from the people in the seven colored robes. Most of the servants like Yang Kai who came here were ignored unless they took the initiative to talk to them.
No one cared!
Walking straight to a nearby table, Yang Kai summoned a servant to serve him a table of wine, then began drinking.
However, it had to be said that although there was a flesh trade going on here, there wasn’t much wind and dust, as if it was a teahouse.
If not for waiting for Old Fang, Yang Kai would have left long ago.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no one come out, the dishes were all changed. Finally, a young woman couldn’t stand it anymore and walked over, “Senior Brother, are you waiting for your companion?”
Yang Kai nodded.
The young woman pursed her lips and smiled, “Then you don’t need to wait any longer. I heard from my Senior Sisters that every time your companion comes here, he stays here for the night.”
Yang Kai almost cursed as he thanked her with a black face, paid for the food and drinks, and was about to leave when the girl suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
Yang Kai turned to look at her and saw that her face was red, so he couldn’t help asking, “Junior Sister, is there something you need?”
The woman lowered her head, “Did Senior Brother come here just to drink?”
Yang Kai wasn’t an idiot, so he naturally understood what she meant. After carefully examining her for a moment, he found that this woman had a delicate appearance and didn’t have the slightest trace of a worldly aura, so he couldn’t help laughing, “I came here with someone, I’ve never been to such a place before.”
The woman’s voice was soft, “There is a first time for everything. Senior Brother, do you want to… do you want to try?”
As she spoke, her head almost sank into her chest, her face turning even redder.
Seeing this, Yang Kai was somewhat speechless. He knew that this woman in front of him was either shy by nature, or she had only come out a few times and wasn’t able to let go.
Just as he was thinking this, the woman said, “I won’t hide it from Senior Brother… Junior Sister, this is… this is also my first time.”
Yang Kai frowned and asked, “Why did Junior Sister come here?”
The woman didn’t answer, but Yang Kai had been here for a few months now, so he naturally knew about the hardships of the servants. The payment for three Open Heaven Pills a year, if he wanted to buy a Second Grade material, he would need at least five or six hundred. If he wanted to quickly break through to Open Heaven, he had to think of some other way.
He sighed in his heart, knowing that Old Fang was right. If it wasn’t because life was difficult, who would come here?
At this moment, a burly man suddenly walked in from outside the door. Sweeping his gaze around, he fixed his eyes on Yang Kai and walked over in surprise.
Sensing some movement, Yang Kai turned around and was also stunned, “Brother Fang?”
“Why are you here?” Fang Tai looked at Yang Kai curiously, “Did you enter the wrong place?”
“What does Brother Fang want to say?” Yang Kai frowned slightly.
“It’s nothing,” Fang Tai slowly shook his head, probably because he didn’t want to talk too much with Yang Kai. Looking around, he then turned to the woman beside Yang Kai and smiled, “Junior Sister, you must have a good eye when it comes to judging people. There are some people who don’t receive any rewards, even if they receive them, it won’t be worth it to waste your time.”
The woman forced a smile, “Senior Brother must be joking.”
Fang Tai said, “I’m not joking, the person you’re pulling is a newcomer. He’s only been here for a few months and hasn’t even had his salary yet, so how could he give you any compensation?”
The woman glanced at Yang Kai curiously. Yang Kai’s performance just now was not like a newcomer’s, and he had taken the table full of food and drinks without any hesitation.
“This Fang is different, I’ll definitely make sure Junior Sister is satisfied.” Saying so, he reached out and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman couldn’t avoid him and quickly turned to look at Yang Kai with a pleading expression. In comparison, she was more willing to receive Yang Kai, otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to talk to him.
However, to her disappointment, Yang Kai only glanced at her for a moment before cupping his hands and saying, “Then I won’t disturb Brother Fang any further. Farewell.”
“Hmph!” Fang Tai coldly snorted.
Yang Kai strode out, but he could clearly feel a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.
