Chapter 33

Huang Feihu is nineteen years old, with a refined and gentle appearance. He is of the same type as his father, the Chief Cabinet Minister Huang Tingxuan—outwardly gentle and elegant, but inwardly cunning and vicious.

Of course, he had heard about Song Li defeating Song Moran, and knew that Pang Da was the top horse under Song Li. By beating up Pang Da, he was essentially offending Song Li. His cultivation realm was only at the initial stage of the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering, even lower than Song Moran. The reason he dared to challenge Song Li was because he relied on the backing of the young princess of the Zhongqin王府 (Loyal Prince's Manor). Previously, he knew that the Zhongqin王府 had a highly esteemed princess, but this princess was extremely mysterious and rarely appeared in public. However, her presence in the upper echelons of the wealthy and powerful had gradually become more active. The first time Huang Feihu saw her, he was stunned by her extraordinary beauty! When the princess showed a slight intention to recruit him, Huang Feihu eagerly offered his loyalty. Of course, Huang Feihu's willingness to be loyal to the young princess was partly due to her stunning beauty, and partly because his father was already the top horse under the Loyal Prince. Therefore, he naturally followed the princess of the Zhongqin王府. With the prince away, the princess was the most important figure. In the eyes of outsiders, the young princess could represent the Zhongqin王府!

Because of the background of the Zhongqin王府, the young princess quickly became a top figure among the wealthy and powerful in the capital after her emergence! The forces surrounding her rapidly grew stronger. Huang Feihu, at his level, was not the most powerful under her. The heir of the Jing王府 (Jing Prince's Manor), Song Mohui, and the heir of the Kang王府 (Kang Prince's Manor), Song Qingshan, were the real big shots.

Although Song Moran was the young prince of the Jing王府, all the wealthy and powerful in the capital knew he was a secondary son. The heir of the Jing王府, Song Mohui, usually did not treat this half-brother well. Therefore, after Song Li injured Song Moran, the Jing王府 did not take any retaliatory action.

In Huang Feihu's view, this was not because the Jing王府 feared the Jun王府 (Duke's Manor), but because Song Moran's status in the Jing王府 was indeed average.

He was different. As the son of the Chief Cabinet Minister, he had the backing of the princess of the Zhongqin王府. Although his title was not as high as that of the young prince of the Jing王府, in terms of actual power and influence, he, the son of the Left Chancellor, was definitely superior.

Which of the wealthy and powerful in the capital did not have a high opinion of themselves? With Song Li's recent rise to prominence, someone like Huang Feihu naturally felt very不服气 (unwilling to accept it). His underlings had harassed a civilian woman on the street, and were beaten up by Pang Da and his men. Huang Feihu, of course, was not willing to let it go. On one hand, as the leader of this small gang, he had to regain his reputation after his underlings were beaten; otherwise, who would still be willing to follow him? On the other hand, he also had the idea of suppressing Song Li by humiliating Pang Da.

After beating up Pang Da on Dong Street, they felt they had regained their reputation and face. The two underlings then invited Huang Feihu and his group to drink and enjoy the company of courtesans at Man Ting Fang.

"Man Ting Fang" and "Qian Jin Yi Xiao Lou" were both the highest-end official brothels in the capital. The courtesans there were all the female relatives of high-ranking officials who had committed crimes. Originally of noble status, they had fallen into the world of prostitution, and some of them were still proud and unwilling to accept their fate. When Song Li and Pang Da arrived at "Man Ting Fang," Huang Feihu was arguing with a cold and proud courtesan in a white dress.

This woman was the daughter of the former Minister of Personnel, who had been imprisoned for a serious crime, and she was also reduced to an official courtesan. However, her treatment was slightly better because she was skilled in playing the pipa and singing and dancing, so she was a courtesan who only sold her art, not her body.

Huang Feihu, seeing the girl's beauty, immediately had evil intentions, verbally teasing her and even touching her. In his mind, brothels were places for entertainment, and since she was a prostitute, why should she pretend to be pure? So he teased her without any guilt.

Unexpectedly, this woman, used to being proud, was furious after being insulted by Huang Feihu. She sharply rebuked him as "debauched and shameless," which made him so angry that he was ready to explode! As the son of the Chief Cabinet Minister, he was of noble status; when had it ever been his turn to be scolded by a mere courtesan?

"Filthy woman, you really don't know your place! Since you're out here selling yourself, why are you still pretending to be a pure girl? Brothers, hold her down. If you don't like to pretend to be pure, I'll rape you in front of everyone!" Huang Feihu tore off his refined facade, revealing his ugly true nature.

"Ao!" His underlings loved this kind of thing. Being able to watch their leader's performance in bed made them all excited, howling like wolves as they went to grab the woman. The woman, crying, tried to escape with her pipa, but her small and weak body was no match for the group of fierce men. She was about to be caught and defiled.

"Hey, this is really something new! The son of the Chief Cabinet Minister actually bullying a defenseless woman in a brothel. If this gets out, your father's reputation will be ruined by you."

Just as the woman was about to fall into their clutches, a cold voice came from the door of the private room.

Huang Feihu and his men all looked over, seeing Song Li and Pang Da with cold expressions, their lips slightly curled, clearly full of disdain and mockery for their despicable behavior.

"Thank you, sir, for your help. I will remember your kindness forever." The woman, seeing someone come to her aid, hurriedly ran to Song Li to thank him.

"Miss, we are from the Capital Justice Alliance, dedicated to righting wrongs. Here is my name card. If anyone dares to bully you again, just mention my name." Pang Da, seeing the beautiful woman, his eyes lit up, and he quickly took out his name card to give her.

The woman, grateful, naturally did not refuse Pang Da's kindness, thanked him, and took the name card. Song Li, standing nearby, secretly smiled, knowing that Pang Da was up to his old tricks again. Whenever he saw a beautiful woman, he would always try to chat her up.

"There's nothing for you here. You should leave quickly." Song Li waved his hand, indicating that the woman should leave this place of trouble.

The woman bowed in thanks and was about to leave when Huang Feihu shouted, "You can't leave!" He then swayed his folding fan and walked up to Song Li with a mocking smile, saying, "Oh, I thought it was someone else. It's the famous 'waste' prince Song Li from Shengshi City. What, with a bit of skill from your mother's elixirs, you think you're the best in the capital? When did it become your turn to meddle in my affairs? I paid for this girl, and I'll decide when she leaves. Who do you think you are to interfere?"

Song Li ignored him and asked Pang Da, "Who beat you up just now?"

"It was him, him, and him." Pang Da pointed to a few well-known wealthy and powerful men in the crowd, including the son of the Minister of Justice, the son of the Governor of Shengshi City, and the son of a general, all of whom were close friends of Huang Feihu.

"Go and beat them back!" Song Li shouted.

"Sure thing." Pang Da looked at the wealthy and powerful men and grinned. The grin made them feel uneasy, as it seemed extremely lewd and malicious.

Pang Da let out a strange cry and rushed over like a gust of wind, his speed catching the wealthy and powerful men off guard! They were shocked, as they had just fought with Pang Da not long ago, and he was then a helpless waste, unable to fight back. How could he suddenly become so strong in just a couple of hours? This was impossible, it must be an illusion!

These men had average cultivation talent and were more focused on eating, drinking, and playing, so their cultivation was only at the initial stage of the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering. Pang Da, now at the peak of the Fifth Layer of Body Tempering, could easily beat ten of them. So when he rushed into the group, he was like a tiger among sheep, beating the wealthy and powerful men who had beaten him into a mess, with broken teeth and bruised faces!

Seeing Pang Da dodging around him and focusing on his underlings, Huang Feihu shouted angrily, "Hey, I hit you too, why don't you fight me?"

Pang Da glanced at him and sneered, "Dude, are you stupid? I can't beat you!" He then continued to chase a wealthy and powerful man who was fleeing, punching him in the face, which quickly swelled up like a balloon, turning into a pig's head.

"Ha," the woman standing nearby couldn't help but smile at Pang Da's straightforward answer.

Seeing Pang Da happily chasing and beating his underlings, Huang Feihu was also shocked. Pang Da, who was clearly a waste and couldn't even beat his weakest underling, had been beaten up just a couple of hours ago. How could he suddenly become so strong? He suspiciously stared at Song Li, but quickly guessed that Pang Da must have taken the elixirs from the Duchess. Damn, why did Song Li, a waste, have a mother who was an alchemist? If these elixirs had gone into his stomach, he would have long been at the Qi Induction stage. The heavens were so unfair, letting these wastes waste the elixirs. Huang Feihu was filled with jealousy.

Huang Feihu wanted to stop Pang Da and give him a good lesson, but he felt Song Li's gaze firmly locked on him. If he moved, Song Li would definitely attack. He was already in a difficult position and couldn't help his underlings.

Pang Da alone beat the wealthy and powerful men who usually acted arrogantly, leaving them lying on the ground, groaning, with broken bones and unable to move.

He returned victorious, chest out and belly forward, looking around with a radiant expression, feeling that he had never been so glorious in his life. The woman's eyes sparkled, and she nodded in approval, "Sir, you have excellent skills." Pang Da waved his hand nonchalantly, "This is just a small matter, not worth mentioning."
