Chapter 15 Under the City

Having exited the canyon, Feng Bujue continued onward, following Lute.

They walked downhill along the mountain for more than ten minutes, crossed a reef-filled shoal, and then climbed up the edge of a steep boulder. Finally… they arrived beneath that dreamlike city.

"The Harem City is protected by a barrier and can only be entered and exited through the city gates." Lute acted like a system assistant, explaining to Brother Jue as they walked, "There are four gates in the entire city, all of which have guards and generals. These people are all disciples of Ji Fenglong, and their strength should not be underestimated. If anyone who doesn't meet the 'entry conditions' tries to force their way in, they will show no mercy."

"Hmm… entry conditions…" Feng Bujue pondered. "As expected, it's not a place you can just enter casually…"

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the city gate.

It was a giant archway eight meters high, with a stone tablet hanging above the gate, inscribed with the words "South Gate."

Standing outside the gate and looking into the city, all one could see was a blurry mist. Presumably… some kind of spell had been cast on the city gate as well, so that outsiders could not peer into the city from outside.

"Preposterous! Our young master has come from thousands of miles away, what kind of attitude is this!"

A scolding quickly attracted Brother Jue's attention.

He saw a young man dressed in plain clothes, about sixteen or seventeen years old, yelling at two guards in armor.

Behind the young man stood a young man dressed as a Confucian scholar. At this moment, the man was wearing an displeased expression, fanning himself with a paper fan.

"You're the one who's preposterous!" On the other side, behind the two guards, a young woman in white scolded, "What do you think this place is? If people like you could enter this Harem City…" She snorted coldly, glanced at the other party contemptuously, "Hmph… wouldn't that mean anyone, like Zhang San and Li Si, every Tom, Dick, and Harry… could all come in?"

"You…" The young man's face turned red, and he wanted to argue further.

But the young man behind him stepped forward and stopped him, "Enough! You useless thing. It's all because of you that I'm losing face here."

"I’m… I’m sorry… Young Master." The young man lowered his head and replied timidly.

The young man, who was called "Young Master," immediately put on a hypocritical smile and said to the beautiful woman, "Miss, my book boy is rude, don't take it to heart, let's talk it over…"

"There's nothing to talk about." The woman in white replied, "Even if the book boy is rude, it's because the master is not strict enough in his discipline." She rolled her eyes at the young man and said coldly, "Besides… not letting you in has nothing to do with etiquette." She raised her head slightly and winked towards the inside of the gate, "The 'rules' are written on the door. If you can't do it, just leave. What's with all this unreasonable trouble?" At this point, her face turned stern, "Our City Lord is reasonable, so I'm being reasonable with you now. But my patience is limited. If you take politeness for granted… hmph…"

Her last cold snort spoke volumes. The guards at the city gate were standing there fully armed, naturally not just to scare people. When necessary, they could start a massacre, and it would be justified.

"What do you mean?" Hearing this, the young man's eyebrows shot up in anger, "Do you know who I am? I…"

"Don't know, don't want to hear, please leave." The woman in white interrupted him with three consecutive sentences.

The next second, she ignored him and turned her gaze to Feng Bujue and Lute, who were not far away, "You two, are you also here to enter the city?"

"Uh… we…" Feng Bujue was about to reply.

The young man raised his voice once again, "Wait! I haven't finished yet… I am…"

His words stopped abruptly, because in that second, his peripheral vision caught sight of Lute.

Lute's flawless beauty… although there was a somewhat unnatural, incongruous feeling to it, beauty was beauty. It was normal for most people to be stunned for a few seconds to dozens of seconds when they first saw Lute.

For example, at this moment, the young man was staring blankly; so was his book boy; even the two guards couldn't help but take a few more glances at Lute.

"This lady… I…" The young man seemed to have forgotten about entering the city, and immediately turned around, bowed, and started greeting Lute.

"Don't care, don't want to hear, don't hit on me." Lute spoke in a system-like tone, preempting the other party before he could finish speaking, with these three sentences.

"Hahahaha…" The woman in white laughed out loud at this scene, "Good! Just for those three sentences, I have to let you into the city, hahaha…"

Finally, the young man exploded…

As someone who was used to being domineering, he could not accept being humiliated in front of two beauties in such a short period of time.

"Hmph!" He roared angrily, and a layer of translucent green energy instantly bloomed around him, "Listen up! I am Ren Bufan, the eldest young master of the Changyi Gate of Liqiong City!" He glared at the woman in white, "You, a mere servant, dare to turn away a 'Saintly Origin Fourth Tier' expert like me, you are truly blind! Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your City Lord…"

*Pa—*

A slap landed abruptly on Ren Bufan's face.

"Teach what?" It turned out that Brother Jue had instantly activated [Spirit Consciousness Convergence Technique], snatching in front of the other party at an incredible speed, and slapping the other party lightly, "Did you dare interrupt my speech?"

*Pa—*

As he spoke, he slapped the other party again.

Ren Bufan had not yet recovered from the shock of the first slap, and was slapped a second time.

"The worst thing is… after interrupting my speech, you didn't talk about business, but instead came to hit on my girl?" Feng Bujue's expression was like a delinquent high school student bullying an elementary school student, and Ren Bufan was stunned at the time, "I'm telling you, if this were ten years ago… I would have stabbed you to death with a knife."

"I want to stab you to death with a knife right now." Lute followed up with this sentence, and it was clear that she was very dissatisfied with a certain word in Brother Jue's previous sentence.

Feng Bujue immediately turned his head and winked at Lute, meaning "pretend for now."

But Lute was a Derivative and didn't really understand the human art of communicating with the eyes (referring to information here), so she didn't understand what Brother Jue meant and just remained silent for the time being.

Two seconds later, Brother Jue continued to say to Ren Bufan, "I'm warning you, disappear from my sight immediately, or I'll make sure you die without a whole corpse."

"Ah—" At this time, Ren Bufan finally came back to his senses, and roared in anger, "Bastard!"

Before the roar had finished, a flying sword instantly condensed in Ren Bufan's hand. The next second, he raised his hand without hesitation and stabbed at Feng Bujue in front of him.

In Ren Bufan's view, his attack was guaranteed to hit and kill. At this distance, the other party had no chance to dodge; unless the unremarkable kid in front of him had the strength of "Saintly Origin Sixth Tier" or above, otherwise… he would lose a layer of skin even if he didn't die.

However, an unbelievable scene appeared…

Feng Bujue actually used two fingers to clamp the tip of the sword, stopping the other party's full-force stab in a fit of rage.

"Everyone saw it, this guy wants to kill me." A creepy smile appeared on Feng Bujue's face, "Then you can't blame me."

Before he finished speaking, Brother Jue unleashed a [Evil King Flame Kill, Purgatory Annihilation].

Because the flying sword in his hand was clamped by the [Lingxi Finger], Ren Bufan couldn't retreat in time, and he was still immersed in shock at the moment… so he couldn't dodge.

Therefore…

Black flames rise, the Evil King arrives.

Figures cross, blood mist rises.

Feng Bujue did what he said, and he did it immediately. In a short exchange, he made the other party "die without a whole corpse."

"Ah… ah!" The book boy looked at the shredded meat and blood on the ground, burned by the black fire, and screamed like a madman, running away in a panic.

"Okay, the annoying guys are gone…" Before the book boy could run far, Feng Bujue had already turned around slowly and said calmly.

He was undoubtedly performing what it meant to "kill without batting an eye" with his actions…

Seeing this scene, the two guards at the door were already sweating profusely, but the woman in white maintained a relatively calm expression.

"Uh… where were we before?" Brother Jue asked himself and answered, "Oh, right… you asked us if we wanted to enter the city." He looked directly into the woman's eyes and smiled, "Hehe… since we've come here, of course we want to go in…" He cupped his fists and said, "Miss, you were willing to let us pass because of the 'three sentences' from my companion, but I wonder if you can let me in for the sake of the 'three moves' I just made…"
