The entire wine house descended into chaos, with everyone scrambling to escape.
What had been a lively establishment was suddenly emptied, but those who fled didn't disperse. Instead, they gathered on the street outside, eager to witness the unfolding drama.
The City Lord's son, You Renxing, had his legs broken – this was the biggest sensational news in Ice Mountain City. To miss such a spectacle now would mean being unable to get a good vantage point later, as the crowds would be too dense to push through.
As the commotion outside the wine house grew, more and more people converged. The news spread like wildfire, from one to ten, then to a hundred.
Now, everyone knew about You Renxing's broken legs.
The entire street was completely gridlocked, with people still rushing towards the scene.
With such a significant disturbance, the City Lord's mansion was quickly alerted. Soon, the news reached You Wende, who was in seclusion.
Upon hearing that his beloved son had his legs broken, You Wende was enraged. He erupted from his secret chamber, transforming into a streak of light and soaring towards the wine house.
"The City Lord is here!"
Someone on the street shouted, and everyone looked up at the sky.
A figure instantly landed in front of the wine house.
"Greetings, City Lord."
Seeing the figure, the crowd bowed in unison.
At this moment, You Wende was consumed by worry for his son and paid no mind to the onlookers. He strode quickly into the wine house.
As soon as he entered, he saw You Renxing lying on the ground. You Wende's eyes turned red with anger. He rushed over and called out, "Renxing, are you alright?"
You Renxing had already fainted and could not respond.
Seeing this, You Wende quickly channeled a stream of sacred power into him. Only then did You Renxing slowly regain consciousness.
"Father, you must avenge me! I was almost beaten to death!" You Renxing, seeing his father, was on the verge of tears.
His hands tightly gripped You Wende's clothes, refusing to let go.
You Wende looked at his son's pathetic state and felt a pang of heartache. He quickly comforted him, "Renxing, rest assured, Father will avenge you. Anyone who dares to harm my son will face an unending feud."
"They are here. A woman in the early Saint Venerable stage injured me." With his father now here to champion him, You Renxing's courage returned. He struggled to get up and pointed towards the private room where Xia Feng and the others were.
He had been thrown out disgracefully before, and now he intended to storm back in.
He wanted Liu Chan to be his captive, to toy with her. Conquering a woman in the early Saint Venerable stage would bring immense pride and an endless sense of accomplishment.
Upon hearing this, You Wende cast his gaze towards the private room and said softly, "Don't rush. Let's heal your legs first, and then Father will let you break their legs."
"Dad, breaking one person's leg is enough. The others are all women; you don't need to break their legs."
You Renxing's words seemed surprisingly humane.
However, this was not the case. He simply felt it would be a shame if the five beauties had their legs broken.
Although he wasn't interested in the other four beauties, he wouldn't mind toying with them once.
After all, the first taste of a beauty's forbidden fruit was the sweetest.
"As you wish. Father will heal your legs first." You Wende nodded with satisfaction and began channeling his sacred energy.
You Renxing's legs had only been stomped on by Liu Chan. Under the treatment of a cultivator at the Great Perfection Saint Venerable stage, they quickly began to recover.
While not fully healed, he could stand and move without issue.
After You Wende finished channeling his energy, he helped You Renxing up and asked, "Son, try jumping to see how it feels?"
You Renxing stood up and tried hopping a few times. "Father, it still feels a bit stiff, but it doesn't hurt anymore. I can jump without any problems. After a few days of rest, I'll be completely recovered."
"That's good. Now, let's go in and get your revenge." You Wende nodded in satisfaction.
"Father, let me kick the door open. I was thrown out just now, and I want to walk in with just as much force." You Renxing said, striding towards the private room door.
He had been thrown out disgracefully by Liu Chan earlier, and the humiliation was unbearable.
He felt that day was the most embarrassing moment of his entire life.
It was also the most severe injury he had ever sustained.
Now that his father was here, it was only natural for You Renxing to put on a show.
More importantly, his father was at the Great Perfection Saint Venerable stage. In the Saint Realm, wasn't that equivalent to walking all over everyone?
He knew there were two early-stage Saint Emperors in the Saint Realm, but that was ages ago. Who knew if they were even alive.
He believed his father was the strongest in the world, and that was that.
To live one's life, one had to be high-profile.
This was the way You Renxing lived his life.
You Renxing arrived at the private room door, lifted his leg, and kicked it hard. The door burst open under his assault.
Then, You Renxing strode in and shouted arrogantly towards the interior:
"I, You Renxing, am back!"
