The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

Chapter 175 Two Women

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The town where Feng Xi stayed now was the nearest town to Transmission Ritual, called Tiefeng Town.

Just because it was the closest town, numerous wanted posters were put up within half an hour after he just entered the town. Some people had met him before and knew that he was in the town, so the people of Tianya Bandit Gang were searching him here and there in the street.

The people of Tianya Bandit Gang would immediately interrogate whoever they saw dressed in red. Such a situation lasted four or six hours. As a result, those dressed in red in the whole Tiefeng Town immediately changed their clothes regardless of age or their preference over red clothes.

Therefore, no one wore red clothes in the whole Tiefeng Town.

However, as it was getting late, fewer people were searching for Feng Xi.

As Feng Xi walked out of the alley and noticed no one was around, he let out a sigh of relief. He was about to walk towards the centre of the town when a shout came from behind him, which frightened him to stiffness at once.

“Freeze!”

He turned around and saw a bandit with a wanted poster walking towards him. Fortunately, he still remembered that he had changed his appearance, so he didn’t run away at once. Otherwise, his disguise would be in vain.

The bandit walked to Feng Xi and looked at his face with the wanted poster only to find that they were completely different. He left with a snort and didn’t say a word. Obviously, Feng Xi was not the one he searched for.

If it had been in the past, Feng Xi would have thought this person was very impolite.

However, it was a special occasion now, so he could only cope otherwise. In order to get out of the Great Plain smoothly, he needed to keep a low profile.

When they left, Feng Xi heard the bandits talking behind him.

“What bad luck! We’ve been searching for two or three hours but we still haven’t found him yet.”

“It’s already dark. Why don’t we call it a day today?”

“That’s right. Maybe the young man has left Tiefeng Town now. We have no clue even if we continue searching for him like this. Everyone go back and look for him tomorrow!”

The captain gave the order, and everyone immediately stopped and intended to have a feast. As for the consequence, of course, the captain would bear it.

……

They were angry for searching for Feng Xi for a long time, but Feng Xi was also hiding in anger. It was dark now and he also needed to find the inn for a night.

Tiefeng Town was the largest town on the Great Plain. Because it was close to Transmission Ritual, most of the people who were transmitted from the north region or other places would choose to inquire about the situation in Tiefeng Town first. in the course of time, Tiefeng Town gradually developed, and eventually became a big town with the highest visitors flow on the Great Plain.

In order to go through the plain, Feng Xi must inquire about the situation on the Great Plain so that he could react timely to the changing circumstances.

In his past life, as a thief, he often went in and out of many complicated places, so he knew that the inns and brothels were the easiest places to pry into information. However, it seemed that there were no places like brothels here, so Feng Xi could only find a relatively weak person and ask him where the biggest inn of Tiefeng Town was.

However, something happened, which made Feng Xi sigh.

The so-called weakest one in his eyes was actually a kidnapper. This man thought he was new here and also looked young, so he intended to cheat Feng Xi into going to a lonely place and rob him. However, this kind of trick was quite familiar to Feng Xi. He would only fall for it if he was a fool. He was wanted just when he arrived here, for which he was really angry. Hence, he just vented his anger on the kidnapper. When he left, he also got the storage back on the kidnapper.

He was a thief master, not the kind of bandit who robbed others randomly!

After that, instead of asking a random weak person for the way, he walked around the street of Tiefeng Town twice or three times and finally found the largest inn. Standing outside the inn, he felt the lively atmosphere inside. The lobby on the ground floor was almost full of people. It took him quite some effort to find a seat. When he just sat down, he could smell a rich odor of liquor.

The rule of Tiefeng Town was that the stronger man called the shot.

Yet, Feng Xi looked just like a weak toy boy, so none of the people in the inn noticed him. Even the waiter of the inn came to serve him late. He had sit there for quite a while when the waiter walked to him with the wine pot.

Feng Xi thought about it and decided not to eat here, so he asked the waiter whether there was any room available.

Feng Xi changed his clothes into black ones, so it was hard to tell the quality of the clothes. The waiter looked him up and down. Probably because he felt that Feng Xi didn’t look like a rich person, he said in a perfunctory tone, “We have a few low-class rooms here. Such a room only costs five red crystals a night. Can you afford it?”

Because the inn was located in the central area of Tiefeng Town, there were many people going in and out, and most importantly, this place was for exchanging information, where people could buy the information they needed. As a result, even a low-class room cost five red crystals while the middle-class rooms and high-class rooms were much more expensive, which were not affordable for many people. However, some people might still book the high-class rooms in order to show off or manifest their status.

After hearing him out, Feng Xi recalled those low-class rooms he saw in the inns last life. Because the housekeepers would clean the low-class rooms roughly or even not clean them once in a while, the low-class rooms were always smelly.

Thinking of that, Feng Xi felt disgusted. He definitely didn’t want to live in a low-class room.

However, his silence made the waiter mistakenly think that he didn’t even have the money to stay in a low-class room. He immediately pulled a long face. How dare he come to their inn without enough money? A meal in the inn would cost five red crystals. If he didn’t have a meal, he might be able to afford one night. When the waiter wanted to kick him out, he heard the young man ask.

“Don’t you have a high-class room?”

“A high-class room? Do you want to take a high-class room? A high-class room here for one night costs two purple crystals,” The waiter stuttered with staring eyes. Could it be that Feng Xi didn’t say anything just now because he felt that a low-class room wasn’t good enough and thought that there was no high-class room in the inn?”

“Do you have a high-class room available or not?” Feng Xi knew that this waiter was just a snob and then snapped at once.

The waiter suddenly came to his senses and hastened to bent forward, replying flatteringly , “Yes, we have the last high-class room in our inn. If you want it, I will immediately arrange it for you.”

“Okay!” Feng Xi nodded.

Everyone around them who heard their conversation instantly looked at the young man in black in surprise. They really couldn’t see that he was a rich man, who could take out two purple crystals without hesitation. Two purple crystals were equivalent to 2,000 red crystals, which were enough for them to have meals for two or three months. Instantly, plenty of the on-lookers started to covet him, with clearly ill intentions in their eyes.

However, just as the waiter was about to arrange a room for Feng Xi, a soft and yet commanding voice came from the door.

“Wait, we’ll take that high-class room. You just arrange another one for him!”

As everyone looked over, two women walked into the door. The woman walking ahead was wearing black boots and an unusually dazzling red outfit which was exquisitely made and elegant. Apparently, she must be a rich woman. Besides, she looked so pretty with an arrogant glint in her face. Her slightly pointed chin just gave off a sense of sharpness. By one glance, it could tell that the woman was not easy to mess with.

The person behind the woman seemed to be her maid. Her appearance was unremarkable and yet she was peacefully composed.

“Madam, I’m so sorry. We have only one high-class room available now and it has been taken by this mister. It happens that all the middle-class rooms are fully booked too. Only a few low-class rooms are available now. So…” The waiter apologized immediately. Although he was happy to see fat cats coming to their inn, having a few at one time would make it quite difficult for them, because the inn only had five high-class rooms, four of which had been reserved before.

“Listen, I’m not asking you. You just have to do what I say,” the woman interrupted him with a fierce look. Just as she had said, she wasn’t asking the waiter. Instead, she was ordering, as if all the people must listen to her.

Feng Xi had never seen such an arrogant person, who even took ordering others for granted. Her personality must be fostered over long years of living in a high position. Simply put, she was spoiled, so one might feel annoyed when she talked.

“Excuse me. You should know that I’ve already taken the high-class room. If you want it, please line up tomorrow!”

Feng Xi didn’t like this woman from the bottom of his heart since the first sight of her. Especially, the way she spoke and her demeanor were even more annoying, and he felt like he was fated to hate this kind of women.

She had probably never met anyone who dared to disobey her, so she got so furious that there seemed to be two sharp flying needles coming through her eyes.

How could Feng Xi be afraid of her? He immediately glared at her too.

The woman laughed coldly. “Kneel down and apologize to me with a kowtow at once. I can consider keeping you alive, or I will make you regret what you did today.”

How dare he ask her to live in that filthy low-class room! He deserved to die!
