At the city gate, two burly men stood tall and straight as lances.
They both had cloaks made of Black Panther fur draped over them.
The sight of them was quite imposing.
The Wolf King sighed, "The beasts that live here really don't have it easy!"
"Indeed!"
"Along the way, all the humans we've encountered, weak or strong, are dressed in beast fur coats."
"At this rate, the furred beasts in the Land of Oblivion are bound to be wiped out."
The Mountain Traveller Beast grunted in displeasure. Why should humans be allowed to slaughter beasts so wantonly?
Qin Feiyang laughed, "Wiped out sounds a bit drastic. A beast fur coat can be worn for many years."
The Mountain Traveller Beast said, "Then you should get one too. Coincidentally, there's one ready-made right here."
"Where's a ready-made one? How come I didn't see it?"
The Wolf King scanned the surroundings in confusion.
The Mountain Traveller Beast chuckled, "Isn't it on you?"
The Wolf King was stunned for a moment, then its eyes flashed fiercely as it glared at the Mountain Traveller Beast.
The Mountain Traveller Beast shrank its neck and quickly said, "A gentleman uses his words, not his fists."
The Wolf King responded with a mischievous smile, "I prefer being a villain, so what?"
The two little creatures started bickering again.
Qin Feiyang felt a headache coming on and snapped, "Can't you two give me some peace for once?"
Seeing Qin Feiyang get angry, the Wolf King and the Mountain Traveller Beast immediately quieted down.
However, they were still glaring at each other.
"Halt!"
As Qin Feiyang prepared to enter the city, the two city guards sized him up and stepped in front of him, blocking his way.
Qin Feiyang was puzzled. "Do you gentlemen need something?"
"Were you the ones who just killed some people in the nearby forest?" one of the burly men asked. He had a bead-sized, black mole on his left cheek.
"Hmm?"
Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow. Ding Ming didn't acknowledge them when entering the city earlier. He hadn't even said a single word. So, how did these two know?
The man with the mole said, "No use trying to deny it. Someone saw you killing from a distance."
So, one of them got away, Qin Feiyang mumbled, then smiled. "Sirs, we had to kill them out of necessity."
"Oh, really?"
The two men sneered.
"Yes, they ganged up to extort money from me. What else could I do?" Qin Feiyang looked helpless.
"Extorting you was certainly their fault, but you shouldn't have killed them all!"
"Do you know what kind of impact this could have on our White Fox City?" the two men shouted.
The Wolf King transmitted mentally, "Xiao Qinzi, hurry up, Ding Ming is almost out of sight."
Qin Feiyang glanced towards the city streets. Ding Ming had reached a crossroads and turned right.
"What are you looking at? What are you looking at?"
"Do you think we don't exist?"
The two burly men shouted angrily, clearly annoyed at being ignored.
The Mountain Traveller Beast transmitted mentally, "Damn it! These guys are asking for trouble!"
Don't be impulsive, Qin Feiyang thought, transmitting to them. These two are just after some benefits. If money can solve the problem, then it's not a problem.
Qin Feiyang scoffed inwardly, then took out two hundred Gold Coins and handed them to the two men with a smile. "This is just a small token from me."
Their eyes lit up, but after glancing at the two hundred Gold Coins, they frowned.
"Just this much?"
"Are you trying to treat us like beggars?" the two men sneered.
Oh? Still not satisfied? The Wolf King's eyes glinted fiercely.
Qin Feiyang also raised his eyebrows subtly. "I'm alone and don't have many savings. I hope you gentlemen won't mind."
"Really?"
"Then let me see your Qiankun Bag." The man with the mole stretched his hand towards Qin Feiyang, his expression imperious and arrogant.
They want to search my Qiankun Bag too? The smile on Qin Feiyang's face was instantly replaced by an icy frost. They're really pushing their luck!
"Take it or leave it."
He casually tossed the two hundred Gold Coins at the two men and turned to walk into the city.
"What?"
"How dare he be so arrogant here?"
The bystanders entering and leaving the city were all shocked as they looked at Qin Feiyang.
The faces of the two burly men turned livid. Although their strength wasn't much, they had powerful backers. In all their time guarding the city gate, no one had ever dared to speak loudly to them, let alone throw Gold Coins at them in humiliation.
"Stop right there!" both men shouted simultaneously.
But Qin Feiyang pretended not to hear them.
"Didn't you hear us telling you to stop?" The man with the mole rushed angrily up behind Qin Feiyang and swung his palm to slap him.
However, Qin Feiyang didn't react at all, as if he hadn't noticed.
Just as the slap was about to land on his head, the Wolf King waved its little paw, smacking the man's wrist and sending his hand flying.
"You dare to fight back?" The man with the mole was furious, Battle Intent erupting from his palm as he aimed a strike at the Wolf King.
A one-star War King? The Wolf King was taken aback, then its eyes filled with mockery. Why are there so many people courting death?
BOOM!
It swung its paw. Golden Battle Intent surged forth like a rushing torrent.
AAH!
The man with the black mole let out a miserable scream and was blasted away. In an instant, his body was covered in lacerations and drenched in blood.
THUD! He crashed into the city wall and collapsed, unable to get up.
"It... it actually harmed the city guards?"
The surrounding crowd was dumbfounded.
The other city guard, standing at the gate, watched the scene with his jaw dropped, his face filled with disbelief.
"Consider those two hundred Gold Coins payment for your healing elixirs," Qin Feiyang said without turning his head, then dashed towards the crossroads. He never once looked back at the two guards.
The guard at the gate rushed over to the man with the black mole. "Are you okay?"
"I'm not gravely injured," the man with the black mole shook his head. He struggled to his feet, looking at Qin Feiyang's departing figure, a terrifyingly fierce glint in his eyes. "You stay here. I'll go find the Guard Captain and make him regret being born!"
After saying this, the man with the black mole dragged his heavily injured body and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
By this time, Qin Feiyang had arrived at the center of the crossroads. He turned and looked down the street to the right. The street was bustling with carriages and people, but Ding Ming was nowhere to be seen.
The Mountain Traveller Beast cursed, "Those two guards were a real damn nuisance!"
The Wolf King chuckled. "Weren't you proclaiming yourself a gentleman? Why are you cursing now?"
The Mountain Traveller Beast snorted. "Even gentlemen get angry... Forget it. With your shameless personality, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
The Wolf King said disdainfully, "Maybe I don't understand, but as long as I'm here, Ding Ming won't get away."
The Mountain Traveller Beast paused, then it dawned on it. "That's right! Your nose is more sensitive than a dog's."
"You're asking for it!" The Wolf King was furious. It hated nothing more than people comparing its neck or nose to a dog's. It leaped up, landing like lightning in front of the Mountain Traveller Beast, and sent it flying with a single swat of its paw.
"Rogue Wolf! I'll never exist under the same sky as you!" The Mountain Traveller Beast roared continuously, drawing the attention of everyone on the street, who all turned to look at it.
A beast that can talk? Surprised, everyone started to gather around it.
"This is what you get for mouthing off," the Wolf King snorted coldly, brushing off its small paws.
Qin Feiyang pushed through the crowd and approached the Mountain Traveller Beast, saying with exasperation, "Can you two please quiet down?"
The Mountain Traveller Beast replied indignantly, "It's not my fault! If you're going to scold someone, scold that Rogue Wolf!"
"What did you say?" The Wolf King's eyes glinted menacingly. These last few times, it was clearly the Mountain Traveller Beast who started the trouble, and now it dares to blame me?
"Enough!" Qin Feiyang's face was dark with anger. "You're both driving me crazy! Could you two lords please do me a favor?" I really want to slap them both.
The Mountain Traveller Beast grinned sheepishly. It wouldn't dare act like an elder to this fierce man. Although they hadn't known each other for long, it already understood Qin Feiyang's personality. He might seem easygoing now, but if he truly got angry, there would definitely be dire consequences. One should know how to read people. As a beast, it especially knew when to stop.
It jumped onto Qin Feiyang's right shoulder and obediently lay there, looking just like a well-behaved cub.
Qin Feiyang shook his head helplessly and transmitted to the Wolf King via his mind, "Quickly track Ding Ming."
"Hypocrite!" The Wolf King glared at the Mountain Traveller Beast, then sniffed the air carefully. "Straight ahead."
Qin Feiyang looked at the crowd blocking his way and smiled. "Could everyone please make way?"
The people moved to the sides, clearing a path.
However, a young woman of about eighteen or nineteen years old didn't move aside and blocked the center of the road.
She was dressed in a snow-white mink fur coat. Standing around 1.7 meters tall, with delicate features and a slender figure, her cheeks were flushed a charming red in the cold weather. Her black hair was tied high up, adorned with an exquisite jade hairpin that hinted at her extraordinary background. The hairpin, whether in terms of craftsmanship or quality, was undoubtedly top grade—something an ordinary person could never afford.
She curiously sized up the Wolf King, a peculiar light sparkling in her large eyes.
Qin Feiyang asked, "Is there something you need, miss?"
The woman in the mink coat pointed her slender finger at the Wolf King. "Sell it to me."
Qin Feiyang's brows furrowed, and he was about to refuse.
But the Wolf King interjected, "No need to ask him. Just tell me straight, what can you offer me? If you can satisfy me, I'll leave the darkness for the light and follow you from now on." It grinned cunningly.
'Leave the darkness for the light?' Qin Feiyang's face twitched.
The woman in the mink coat's eyes lit up, however. She looked at the Wolf King and said, "As long as you follow me, you can have anything you want."
The Wolf King asked doubtfully, "Really?"
"My word is my bond," the woman in the mink coat nodded.
The Wolf King chuckled mischievously. "I want to go to the Purple Sun Tribe. Do you have a way?"
"Why do you want to go to the Purple Sun Tribe?" The woman in the mink coat was shocked.
The surrounding crowd also began to whisper amongst themselves, their eyes filled with shock and suspicion.
The Wolf King said, "Don't ask so many questions. Just tell me if you have a way or not."
The woman in the mink coat replied, "Of course, I have a way. My father knows the coordinates of the Purple Sun Tribe."
Qin Feiyang's eyes lit up. He had initially thought it would take a great deal of effort to find the coordinates of the Purple Sun Tribe. But he hadn't expected to get a lead so soon after entering White Fox City. At crucial moments, this Rogue Wolf was surprisingly reliable.
