Chapter 1936: Chapter 1935: It’s Not Thieves Stealing You Should Fear, But Thieves Coveting You
Long Fei laughed as he bid each of them farewell at the cave entrance. Their faces were flushed with excitent, and they looked full of energy, as if they’d been living quite well these days.
This courtyard of the general’s residence had restrictions from the start.
After Long Fei moved in, he added another layer, and now he even set up a temporary one, being extra cautious.
This group of misfits wandered around his courtyard with great interest.
In the backyard, he set up a fire, preparing a barbecue for them.
As soon as the at was cooked, the hungry bunch sat down, wiping the drool from their mouths.
Besides Chu Feng and his crew, who else could it be?
Long Fei raised an eyebrow at them and asked, “Where’s Yiyi?”
Chu Feng chuckled, “What, you already miss the little beauty?”
“Get lost!”
Long Fei playfully cursed, pulling out so fine wine, giving each of them a jar directly.
Wang Jie accepted the wine, laughing, “We found Little Sister Yiyi’s sect and handed her over to her master.”
Long Fei shook his head, “Their Great Ease Palace — part Buddhist, part Daoist — not really to my liking.”
Wang Jie laughed loudly, “Second Brother loves it. Full of beauties, he got so entangled, they had to shoo him away after three days.”
Chu Feng put on a serious face and corrected, “Shooed away? They politely escorted out. How could such handso and kind-hearted ladies like be shooed away?”
Everyone laughed loudly while drinking.
The Bald Dog barked at Long Fei, “Master, are you seriously thinking about becoming the stable master here?”
The Ground Rat Demon King coughed, “Master seems to have been promoted, hasn’t he?”
Long Fei glared at the Bald Dog and then asked everyone, “This Azure Dragon at is getting boring. Anyone fancy so roast dog at?”
The group burst out laughing uproariously, “Yes!”
Da Heiniu and Old Lvv imdiately jumped up mischievously, trying to pin down the Bald Dog.
The Bald Dog leaped back, retreating, and shouted, “Why so ferocious?! I’ve got rabies, ya know! Roast and risk your lives!”
The group laughed so hard they spat out their drinks, flipping the Bald Dog off in jest.
Chu Feng chuckled at Long Fei, “Serious talk though, the Ascending Immortal Road is about to open. Aren’t you coming with us?”
Wang Jie said, “We ran into Little Ya a few days ago, and she said you’re so enamored with this place, she probably got a bit jealous.”
“Boss, let’s go quickly and co back quickly. You’re not planning to settle on Immortal King Star, are you?”
Murong Chong also frowned.
Long Fei told them, “When the Demon Calamity erupts, all star domains will be affected. As it stands, our world should be the main battlefield. With support from Immortal King Star, our odds are much better. So, we need to manage things well here. When the Ascending Immortal Road opens, you guys go first. I’ll tie up loose ends here and catch up with you later.”
Chu Feng and the gang nodded, “Since you’ve decided, that’s how it’ll be. Immortal King Star’s spiritual ore resources are way beyond our Earth’s Secret Realm. These families are loaded!”
“What a pity, we only managed to rob the Wang Family last ti. The other families were prepared and strengthened their defenses. Otherwise, like in Celestial Mystery City, we could have looted them all.”
“Hasn’t Master already taken people and looted them once?”
The Bald Dog’s little eyes squinted with a sly grin.
The Ground Rat Demon King chuckled, “If the boss was with us, we could definitely sweep across Celestial Realms City.”
Long Fei shook his head with a laugh, “I’m part of the governnt now. How can I fool around with you thieves? However, getting into the families isn’t too difficult!”
Everyone exchanged wide-eyed, excited glances, “Whoa, do you have a plan?”
“I knew Master had a plan, but you didn’t believe !”
“Master, co on, tell us!”
“…”
Their eyes were gleaming green with eagerness.
Even Wang Jie and Murong Chong were caught up in the excitent, looking eagerly at Long Fei.
Long Fei laughed, “Earlier, I took a stroll through each family’s Scripture Pavilion and did a little handiwork. You can sneak in through there, loot the families, and slip out again — you should be able to finish the job in one night.”
“Genius, boss, you’re brilliant!”
Chu Feng and the others snickered, their smiles beaming with delight.
The Bald Dog frowned, “What if they notice us and seal the entrance? We’d be trapped!”
Everyone slapped their foreheads, all looking at Long Fei.
Long Fei took out two magical treasures and handed them to the Bald Dog, “With these, no restriction is a problem. But rember to return them afterwards.”
“Now that’s foolproof!”
The Bald Dog excitedly jumped up and snatched the two treasures from Long Fei’s hand.
It had been eyeing those magical treasures for a while, drooling in anticipation.
One was the White Tiger Magnet, the other the Suiren Drill, a family heirloom from the Xiao Family.
Long Fei had snatched it from the Xiao family’s genius, Xiao Yuanyao, and used it to break the Seventh Princess’s Zodiac Star Battle Array back then.
These treasures paired perfectly: the White Tiger Magnet to locate restrictions and the Suiren Drill to break them.
With these two items, the Bald Dog felt much more assured.
Long Fei told them, “Recently, many experts have gathered in Celestial Realms City. Stay low-key unless necessary. The more conspicuous you are, the easier you beco a target for these experts.”
The group nodded while drinking.
Long Fei, still worried, bestowed the newly comprehended Nine Tribes True Words Art, as well as the Xiaoxiang Nine Swords and Heaven-Piercing Nine Swordplay cultivation techniques to them.
However much they could grasp, they could use as leverage in duels.
They ate and drank until late at night, then closed their eyes to comprehend what they had learned.
This was when talent showed.
Chu Feng appeared excited; one could guess he understood 70-80%.
Murong Chong and Wang Jie furrowed their brows, seed to grasp around 50-60%.
The Bald Dog, Ground Rat Demon King, Old Lvv, and Da Heiniu, being from the Demon Clan, probably only gleaned one or two points from the Nine Tribes True Words Art.
Overall, they all gained sothing.
By morning, only Long Fei was left in the courtyard.
He took a sip of wine, smiled, and shook his head, “Being free sure feels good! This life of mine must be one of hard work!”
Just as he was finishing his drink, Li Jinxuan’s voice ca from the front courtyard.
Long Fei tidied up the courtyard, released the restriction, and let Li Jinxuan in.
She found Long Fei in the hall, anxiously calling, “Consort Prince, sothing’s happened. The Seventh Princess has arranged to duel with the Little Peng King at Green Water Lake, and she’s already on her way.”
Long Fei rubbed his head, thinking to himself, why am I stuck with such a trouble-loving wife?
She enjoys doing things that bring her no personal gain.
Even if there’s to be a duel with the Demon Clan, one should pick the right ti to get so benefit!
To rush into a fight without any advantage, is she not thinking straight?
Then he thought, for a princess who has never known want, it’s normal to act this way.
Unlike him, who had to plot everything to put food on the table.
Seeing Long Fei silent, Li Jinxuan anxiously called, “Consort Prince, what are you thinking? The Seventh Princess may have so skills, but being a woman, how could she possibly beat those ferocious Roc demons?”
Long Fei chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’ll help her out.”
“I knew you wouldn’t leave her to fend for herself!”
Li Jinxuan exclaid happily, holding Long Fei’s hand while she pulled him out of the doorway.
Inside the carriage, she suddenly realized and blushed, quickly letting go of his hand.
Long Fei quipped with a teasing tone, “Your hand… pretty soft and delicate!”
