Chapter 62

"Just call me Ling Dao, no need to keep addressing me as 'Young Master'!"

Since this place is far from the capital, even if he revealed his name, he doubted anyone would recognize it. Besides, there were plenty of people with the same name in the world. Even if others knew that the Crown Prince of the Free and Easy Kingdom was named Ling Dao, they would likely think he was someone else.

The Free and Easy Kingdom's mansion was destroyed, but the Free and Easy King had made significant contributions to the entire Da Luo Dynasty. The Da Luo Dynasty naturally wouldn't issue a warrant for Ling Dao's arrest. Even if there were actions to eliminate Ling Dao, they would all be carried out in secret, never brought to light.

Ling Dao sipped his wine, gazing out the window, pondering how to deal with the leader of the Viper Gang. Dealing with just the leader might be manageable, but the Viper Gang surely had many True Qi Realm martial artists within its ranks.

"Miss, that guy doesn't look like a good person. Look at his eyes, his facial expressions; it's clear he has lustful intentions towards you. Who knows what dirty thoughts he's having!"

Chunlan's voice was low, but it didn't escape Ling Dao's ears. He almost spat out the mouthful of wine he was drinking. Heaven help him, he really didn't have any dirty thoughts. He was just thinking about how to complete his mission and kill the Viper Gang leader.

"Stop talking nonsense and eat your food!"

Zhong Feifei directly poured a bowl of food for Chunlan, finally silencing her. Even so, Chunlan still glared at Ling Dao with displeasure. Ling Dao couldn't understand why Chunlan hated him so much.

"Waiter, can I buy a few jars of this fine wine?"

After finishing his meal, Ling Dao didn't let Zhong Feifei pay the bill; he paid it himself. It wasn't about maintaining any gentlemanly demeanor; he just didn't want to owe anyone a favor. Then, Ling Dao followed the waiter to fetch five jars of fine wine and found a secluded place to store them in his Spatial Ring.

"Master Ling, you said I would pay the bill. Why didn't you give me the chance?"

Just as Ling Dao stepped out of the tavern, he unexpectedly saw Zhong Feifei. Earlier, while he was fetching the wine, Zhong Feifei had been waiting with Chunlan at the entrance. Despite Chunlan's reluctance, she had no choice.

"I can afford this small bill; there's no need to trouble Miss Zhong. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"

Zhong Feifei's identity was definitely not simple, but Ling Dao wasn't interested. He just wanted to complete his mission as soon as possible. During his time here, he had heard a lot about the Viper Gang. Such a menace should be eliminated.

"Hey, it's your good fortune that our Miss is taking the initiative to talk to you. Don't be ungrateful! Do you know how many people want to speak with our Miss? You're acting like a nobleman!"

As the saying goes, a dog relies on its master's power. For a maid to be so arrogant clearly indicated Zhong Feifei's high status. However, Ling Dao wouldn't even give the face of a Da Luo Dynasty princess, let alone Zhong Feifei.

"Before I did anything, you accused me of having dirty thoughts about your Miss. If I talk to your Miss, will you kill me?"

Ling Dao glanced at Chunlan, too lazy to argue with the maid. Chunlan wanted to say more but was stopped by Zhong Feifei's gaze. Zhong Feifei gave Ling Dao an apologetic look, but before he could speak, the sound of hooves echoed through the air.

"Move! Move!"

"Our Young Master is coming, all idle people, get out of the way!"

"Whoever dares to obstruct our Young Master will be exterminated with their entire clan!"

Several fast horses galloped down the town's streets, completely ignoring the pedestrians, causing chaos along the entire road. Two people were clearing the way, each holding a whip and lashing out fiercely.

Anyone who couldn't get out of the way in time was whipped away. Whether it was the elderly, women, or even children, none were spared. Such behavior was truly outrageous, a complete disregard for human life.

"Whoa~"

Just as they were about to reach Ling Dao, they stopped. The two people in front didn't look at Ling Dao but at Zhong Feifei. Seeing such a beautiful woman in this town was unexpected.

"Young Master, we found a lovely lady. How about having her serve you tonight?"

"Come, Young Master, take a look. What do you think of the beauty we found for you?"

A teenager, about seventeen or eighteen years old, rode a tall horse and slowly approached. The youth had a sullen expression, his eyes like those of a venomous snake. When he saw Zhong Feifei, his eyes lit up.

"Good, I'll take this beauty. Have her serve me tonight!"

This youth was the Young Master of the Viper Gang, named Xie Tianzong, already a mid-stage True Qi Realm martial artist. The surrounding pedestrians had long fled, and even the guests inside the tavern had escaped.

The Viper Gang committed all sorts of atrocities, and Xie Tianzong, the Young Master of the Viper Gang, was no good person. Kidnapping women was not a new act for him; he just hadn't encountered someone as beautiful as Zhong Feifei before.

"Ridiculous! How dare you defile our Miss? For that alone, you deserve to be torn apart a thousand times!"

Chunlan snorted angrily. She had been upset just by Ling Dao looking at Zhong Feifei a few times. Xie Tianzong's direct statement that he wanted Zhong Feifei to serve him truly enraged Chunlan. Cold killing intent flashed in her eyes.

"Ha, a mere maid dares to scold me? Do you know who I am? I am Xie Tianzong, the Young Master of the Viper Gang! Brothers, this maid is yours for the night. Do as you please!"

"Haha, Young Master is so generous, thank you!"

"This maid is quite beautiful; we brothers will have a good night!"

The people around Xie Tianzong laughed. They had done this many times before and saw nothing wrong with it. Within a hundred miles, the Viper Gang was supreme, and there was no one they couldn't provoke.

Xie Tianzong's words made Ling Dao's eyebrows raise. He hadn't expected to encounter the Viper Gang so soon, and the youth was none other than Xie Tianzong, the Young Master of the Viper Gang.

"If I kill Xie Tianzong, will the Viper Gang leader come out of his lair?"

The Viper Gang had been operating for many years, and their stronghold was surely filled with danger. Even Ling Dao had no confidence in infiltrating the Viper Gang to kill the leader. Fortunately, Xie Tianzong's appearance gave him an opportunity.

"You are all courting death!"

At that moment, Chunlan drew a large sword from her back and charged at Xie Tianzong!

(PS: Brothers and sisters, you're amazing! You've pushed Dao Shen to the top of the new book popularity chart! The flowers are also great, so I'll add two more chapters today!)
