Chapter 91: 91: Confronting Ma Yuan

Ash’ eyes rounded wide as the notorious Pao Zhizhong was killed with just one slap! However, what made him terrified the most was how Feng Bo did it without remorse and not even a sliver of killing intent in the air. He killed Pao Zhizhong as if he was just swatting an insect!

"Why did you kill him?" Ash stammered a bit.

"Pardon?"

"Oh, nevermind, senior. Thank you for saving me from all the future troubles." Ash cupped his fist courteously.

Though he hated it to lower himself before other humans, he had no choice since Feng Bo was way stronger than him. Thanks to the system’s appraisal function, Ash could tell immediately that Feng Bo was a Mid Stage Core Formation Realm!

Obviously, he didn’t want to offend him. Not when Feng Bo didn’t show any hostility toward him.

"Do not fret, young lord." Feng Bo said. After which, Feng Bo snapped his forefingers, and his subordinates emerged from the crowd and cleaned up the mess. "To be honest with you, I’ve been wanting to get rid of this pest for a while now. Alas, I don’t have the right excuses to do so."

"For a while?" Ash inquired.

"Yes. He’s been a thorn in this city for years by terrorising some establishments, hotels, and whatnot, by taking their girls for whatever reason that came up in his mind. You know, not all Cultivators are evil. Some of us still enjoy the beauty of women from time to time while also supporting the society of common mortals while at it."

Ash somehow could roughly guess what kind of business Feng Bo ran behind the scenes. He was a pimp, and he might be the richest pimp who controlled the Red Light District!

Ash, of course, really doubted Feng Bo’s last statement about treating his girls justly. In these days of age, never believe something until you prove it with your own eyes. Especially in the Immortal Beast Realm where nothing appears as it seems.

Nevertheless, his plan to promote his name and business by attending this Opening Ceremony was a success after all.

"The first fight should be in order now. Let us watch them from the VIP seat." Feng Bo pointed at the fancy longue which stood above the benches of regular invitees.

Granted, all eyes were staring at him by the time he climbed toward the VIP lounge where Core Formation Experts and Golden Core Experts were gathering. However, they didn’t dare to say anything since the young woman in crimson robe was walking behind Feng Bo.

As they were seated at the table for two just by the wooden railing, two maids climbed upstairs, bringing the refreshments for them. When Ash glanced to the higher platform, he saw the Hall Master, Wu Fei raise his cup for him.

As returned the gesture by raising his cup as well and nodded cordially.

"Oh, you are acquainted with the Hall Master as well?!" Feng Bo raised his voice so everyone could hear who this young expert was.

"Professionally, yes." Ash sipped his wine after he said that. "If I may ask, what kind of endeavor that you fancied as of late, Sir Feng Bo."

Feng Bo chuckled. "Hmm, something that goes along with women, and nightlife."

"I see." Ash glanced at Feng Bo sharply. His guess was right.

"But of course, the happiness of my girls is my top priority! In fact, I would never let any illiterate buffoons near them, let alone gazing at them lecherously with ill intent." Feng Bo paused for a moment. "That’s why, I will never hesitate to kill any man who treats women badly."

"I’d do the same thing to protect my elven ladies as well, Sir Feng Bo. Those scums deserve hell after all." Ash said.

"I know right?!" Feng Bo gulped the wine in one go and sighed in satisfaction. "Speaking of which... Do you have a plan to sell them after a certain period of time?"

Ash looked at Feng Bo’s eyes keenly. "It depends on their choice, of course. If they wish to be released, I have no means to hold them. However, if somebody is willing to buy them from me, I will let the girls decide who they’ll marry for life. But of course, the previous golden haired lady is off limits, she’s my fiance."

Feng Bo nodded amicably.

"Ahh, that’s very unfortunate. I wish both of you a happy married life in the future then."

Ash had anticipated that Feng Bo might show his true color after he basically said that Elara was his, and his alone. However, Feng Bo didn’t project any malice and smiled like a Buddha. Feng Bo was so glad that the elven ladies were bought by a good man and found a safe haven to recuperate.

"Thank you. Sir, Feng Bo. I really appreciate your support."

"So, when will the inn be officially in business?" Feng Bo asked.

"The Grand Opening must have been in full swing as we speak and the event will last for three days. The elven ladies have prepared their native cuisines as well as art performances. Perhaps, you will find it interesting to learn their culture. Though, I would like to apologize for not inviting you in advance."

"Oh my... Now you really have my attention, young lord. My business would be in danger, hahaha!" Feng Bo laughed heartily.

"You don’t need to worry about that, Sir Feng Bo. Though I encourage them to open themselves and have a normal life outside their job, It doesn’t mean that I insist them to prostitute themselves. But of course, I strongly suggest our guests to be kind with them. Besides, they are all rare beauties and ladies at that."

Feng Bo rested his back while looking at his reflection in the cup of wine. "Now, I have no choice but to visit your inn, young lord."

"En. The name is Phoenix Inn. Situated at the West Borough outskirts. We would be honored to host you, Sir Feng Bo. Better yet, I will take you there myself."

"My pleasure, young lord! Let’s go!"

By the time he rose from his seat, the female host announced the very first fight of the night.

"Ladies and gentlemen! It’s time for our first fight of the night! In the white corner! Ma Zheeenn!! In the black corner, Xiao Hûo!"

Ash was utterly bewildered why his name was called in the first card of the night. However, he understood everything when he saw Ma Yuan was beside Hall Master Wu Fei.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This old fart really wants me dead, huh?" Ash quipped.

Feng Bo smirked from side to side. "This is going to be interesting. What are you going to do, young lord?"

"I’ll need to deal with him, I am afraid." Ash turned his head, facing toward the arena below. "I will be back as soon as possible."

"Hahaha!" Laughed boisterously once again. "Very well! Let’s watch this fight first! I’m curious who’s going to win!"

"Xiao Hûo! Come down here you coward! Let’s finish this!" Ma Zhen called while pointing his sword toward the VIP lounge.

Instead of walking downstairs, Ash opted to fly onto the arena. He leisurely glides down into the arena to showcase his Qi in front of the audiences.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... After that shameful defeat the other day, you still have the guts to show your face before me?!" Ash said. He was still hovering above Ma Zhen, refusing to come down.

Likewise, Ma Zhen also didn’t want to be looked down upon by him. He subsequently brought himself afloat after regulating his Qi.

Ma Zhen stared daggers at Ash who was just a few feet away from his nose. Though both of them were young, their cultivation stage was already at Early Qi Condensation Realm!

"Do you think you can walk away after humiliating me?! Hmph! Tonight, I will kill you and fuck all the elven ladies in your inn in front of your dead body!"

Ash really couldn’t hold his rage anymore. "Before, I could still tolerate you, and hoped that you would learn from your mistakes. However, there are some lines that you should never cross, youngling. And you have crossed one forbidden line. Never, threatening someone else’s women!"

Ash kicked Ma Zhen’s belly so hard till his foot embedded deep into his body’s cavity, sending the latter flying and crashing onto the outer wall of the arena. He imbued his legs with Primordial Qi, and mustered all of his trength to that kick alone.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Ma Zhen pleaded for his life. "What I said earlier was kidding. Don’t kill me! Be my friend and I will give you a lot of fortunes! How’s that sound to you?"

Ash paid no heed to Ma Zhen’s last ditch offers, walking nonchalantly whilst spinning his Blood Iron Spear.

"There is a price for everything in this world. However, offending me means you have to pay it with your blood!"

Without a slight of mercy, Ash kicked, punched, and mauled him like a ragdoll until his face was no longer recognizable in front of Ma Family’s seat!

"Ma Yuan!" Ash roared. "Come here you bastard! Stop pulling the string from behind the screen and face me!"
