Chapter Nine, Two Great Villains

This little girl is quite serious in her work, with beads of sweat emerging from her forehead and between her strands of hair, and her obedient little face is flushed red from the heat of the stove

Old Wu's wallet naturally became plump

The lion's four legs are as thick as pillars, and its crimson eyes resemble two blazing flames. A single charge could shatter a city wall five zhang high.

A deep-seated fear gripped him, sending chills throughout his body, and unable to contain himself, he staggered back two steps.

Luo Yuer looked at Feng Feiyun with curiosity, wondering what kind of devious scheme this guy was up to

The tea stall run by Old Man Luo and Luo Yuer was originally a small-scale operation, barely earning 1,000 copper coins a month. Of this amount, 300 coins were paid to Wu Laoda, leaving them with only 700 copper coins to get by.

Old man Luo suddenly felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. What on earth is happening today? He has encountered the two most notorious bullies and ruffians in Lingzhou. What a stroke of bad luck!

What the hell are you staring at? Hurry up and serve tea to our young master. Do you believe I will tear down this shabby shed of yours!

Feng Feiyun was astonished; it turned out that he was so well-known in Lingzhou City!

And this month, I actually have to pay five hundred copper coins, how can one possibly survive like this

Old man Luo's forehead was still wrapped in thick medicinal cloth, but in order to make a living, he had no choice but to endure the pain and continue working

"Alright, a bowl of coarse..." Luo Yuer's voice abruptly stopped. She suddenly turned around and, upon seeing Feng Feiyun sitting at the table, she couldn't help but shiver. The earthen teapot in her hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Old man Luo glanced at the ferocious crimson-eyed golden beast, unable to suppress a shiver that coursed through his entire body; that beast's mouth seemed capable of swallowing him whole.

Luo Yuer was also taken aback, recalling that night with Young Master Feng, when he held her hands so tightly that it hurt. Unable to help herself, she instinctively covered her chest, feeling a chill run down her spine. She hurried to the stove to brew tea, not daring to say another word.

"If you continue to negotiate with me, do you believe I will bully her right now?" Feng Feiyun's face revealed an evil smile as he gently rubbed his hands together, deliberately trying to scare the young girl

"Xiao Yu'er, why haven't the two bowls of Maojian that Uncle Liu wanted been brewed yet?" Old Luo was tidying up the tea bowls on the table while urging her.

Finally, her gaze fell upon the coins on the table, hesitating slightly before she said: "You must not go back on your word, and you cannot bully me, nor can you bully my grandfather"

Feng Feiyun lightly tapped the red dragon sword on the table with his fingers and smiled, "Who is this Third Master? Such a grand occasion, the entire city’s citizens are expected to present gifts for his birthday?"

Feng An also rolled up his sleeves, looking as if he was about to start a fight

Old Master Wu took the money bag and poured the hundreds of copper coins onto the ground, where they landed with a clinking sound.

Only the bewildered old man Luo and the timid Luo Yuer remain, both staring blankly at Feng Feiyun, their eyes filled with fear

Heavens! Just after two days of calm, Young Master Feng has come out to wreak havoc again

Luo Yuer bit her lip, her eyes blinking once, looking quite pitiful as she pleaded, "Young Master Feng, I beg you, please do not tear down this tea shed. It is our only source of income; otherwise, my grandfather and I might starve to death."

Upon hearing the call of the Crimson-Eyed Golden Beast, everyone knew that Boss Wu had arrived. The pedestrians on the street quickly retreated to a distance, although some bold individuals secretly observed, filled with curiosity. After all, it was just a matter of collecting land fees; it was quite unusual for Boss Wu to personally take action.

Feng Feiyun looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn't help but feel amused, saying: "I just want to drink the tea you brewed, one bowl of tea for one gold coin, will you take this business?"

The Crimson-Eyed Golden Beast raised its head and let out a roar, the sound reverberating throughout half of Lingzhou City, shaking the ground and shattering two teacups in the tea pavilion.

The person standing at the forefront is quite tall, with dark skin and well-defined muscles, exuding a sense of explosive power, capable of crushing a person's skull with a single punch

He cannot compare to you, young master. At least you show some compassion towards women, while that bastard Wu Lao Da brings a group of people to toy with a woman until she is utterly destroyed

Feng Feiyun was not truly angry with her; he merely wanted to tease her. This might also be influenced by the character of Young Master Feng, who was once known for his flirtatious and carefree nature

Feng Pingdao: "This Third Master is quite remarkable; he is the number one villain in Lingzhou City, specializing in black market dealings, trafficking in slaves, running brothels, managing gambling houses, and even engaging in murder-for-hire. Many people are afraid of him."

Feng Feiyun quietly watched her, a hint of a smile involuntarily appearing on his face. He slowly walked into the tea pavilion and sat down at one of the tables, calling out: "Yuer, little boss lady, bring me a bowl of coarse cool tea"

Within the tea shelf, the firewood beneath the stove is leaping brightly and warmly

In his palm, as strong as a steel bar, he grasped an iron chain as thick as an arm, the other end of which was tied to the neck of a three-meter tall crimson ferocious lion, its size akin to that of an elephant, possessing astonishing attacking power

Old man Luo's forehead was dripping with sweat as he trembled and said, "Last month, we only collected 300 copper coins, not a single one less!"

Feng Ping stood behind Feng Feiyun, his face bearing a fierce expression, and he roared in a voice that resembled thunder.

Luo Yuer is petite, standing just a bit taller than the kitchen counter. She wears a linen apron tied around her waist and has rolled up her sleeves, revealing her delicate arms resembling two jade lotus roots. While she busily attends to her tasks, she also greets the guests who are enjoying their tea.

Feng Feiyun wore a smile on his face as he pulled out a handful of gleaming gold coins from his pocket, approximately more than ten in total, each weighing about one or two taels.

Old Luo then approached, repeatedly apologizing to Feng Feiyun.

Two great villains, interesting

Old man Luo stumbled out from the tea shed, took out a money pouch from his bosom, and respectfully handed it to Old Wu, saying: "I have been prepared for a long time, I have been prepared for a long time! Three hundred copper coins, not a single one less, not a single one missing!"

Why is it this great villain again

This Wu Laoda is the number one enforcer under Third Master, the leader of the Eagle Claw Gang, with thousands of thugs and ruffians under his command, and is a scoundrel who commits all kinds of evil deeds

Feng Feiyun originally thought of himself as a scoundrel, but compared to this Boss Wu, he suddenly seemed much more noble and virtuous.

Old Master Wu raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "This month is the Grand Master San's birthday, and every household in Lingzhou City is to contribute an additional 500 copper coins as a gift. Old Man Luo, you are an honest man, so obediently pay another 500 copper coins, and I, Master Wu, will no longer make things difficult for you"

This is the leader of the largest gang in Lingzhou City, the Eagle Claw Gang, Boss Wu

Here they come! Here they come! Two bowls of steaming Maojian tea! Luo Yuer brought over two coarse pottery bowls filled with hot tea, her fingers reddening from the heat. After pinching her ears, she continued to busy herself by the stove.

"Why is it only this little? Old man Luo, have you eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, thinking you can dismiss me, Wu the Great, with just this meager amount? Do you take me for a beggar?" Wu the Great bellowed, his voice resonating like a great bell, nearly stunning Old Man Luo into unconsciousness

The sound of rustling!

"Miss Yu, the little boss, how much is the bill?" someone teased

Aow!

Feng Feiyun directly scattered the coins on the table and repeated, "As long as it is tea brewed by your own hands, one bowl of tea, one gold coin"

Those who originally came to the tea pavilion to drink tea all fixed their gaze on Feng Feiyun, each one appearing as if they had seen a plague god

In Lingzhou City, there is a saying: offend Young Master Feng, and your wife will leave and your daughters will scatter; offend Sanhe - Tu - Shuye, and your family will be ruined. Feng An added.

Place the two copper coins on the edge of the table! Grandpa has collected the money! Although Luo Yuer was extremely busy, she always wore a smile on her face, as if she never knew what it meant to be tired

"A bowl of tea for one gold coin?" Luo Yuer's eyes widened like two black grapes, clearly disbelieving Feng Feiyun's words. For her, one gold coin was a significant fortune, enough to sustain her and her grandfather for a year.

Everyone was terrified to the extreme, not even drinking tea, and they all fled without exception, leaving the once lively tea stall suddenly desolate

This is a Crimson-eyed Golden Beast, which Boss Wu purchased at a high price from the "Beast Taming Pavilion." As long as he leads this giant beast on a stroll around Lingzhou City, all the shop owners will have no choice but to obediently pay their land fees.

Does that not mean we are equally matched? Feng Feiyun remarked

Hurry, hurry!

On the stove, three or five teapots have already come to a boil, emitting wisps of white steam, carrying a strong aroma of coarse tea

"Old man Luo, when is the land rent due this month?" A cold voice came from outside the tea shed

Feng Feiyun remained seated beside the tea table, casting a slight glance from the corner of his eye. Outside the tea shed, five or six men were already standing, all wearing dark red sashes, each harboring ill intentions, their gazes sharp as that of hawks.

Old man Luo's expression changed, fearing that Luo Yuer would anger Feng Feiyun. He hurriedly said: "Yuer, is Young Master Feng someone you can offend? You dead girl, hurry up and brew some tea."

Feng Feiyun and San Ye are the two major villains of Lingzhou City, one desires women, while the other seeks lives
