The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Inside a residence, the guards of Drunken Red Mansion wanted to take Dreamy Beauty back, but Hate Blade Swordsman stepped in to stop them. At that moment, Dreamy Beauty said, "I will go back with you. I killed the madam, and I will not evade the responsibility I must bear."
Hate Blade Swordsman looked at Dreamy Beauty with a puzzled expression and asked, "Are you sure you want to return to that filthy place?"
The guard retorted, "What filthy place? The current Boss of Drunken Red Mansion has changed, and the way we operate is different from before. We are going to rid Drunken Red Mansion of its brothel reputation."
Dreamy Beauty was taken aback by this and laughed, saying, "Can a dog really change its habit of eating shit?"
The guard replied, "Miss Dreamy, your words are truly unpleasant. If it weren't for the Boss repeatedly instructing us to treat you with courtesy, we would have resorted to violence against you."
Hate Blade Swordsman could no longer contain his anger and said, "Do you think I'm invisible? How dare you act violently in front of me? It seems you are tired of living."
Dreamy Beauty waved her hand and said, "Why get angry? Hate Blade Swordsman, we are enemies after all. Now that I am returning to Drunken Red Mansion to accept my punishment, you can also be rid of me. This is a win-win situation! There’s no time to waste; I want to see what Drunken Red Mansion has become now. Let’s go." With that, Dreamy Beauty stepped out of the residence first.
Hate Blade Swordsman said, "This may be the best outcome."
At Martial Arts Alliance, Future Police blocked the injured Eternal Sovereign's path. For the sake of justice without hesitation, Electric Baton aimed directly at Eternal Sovereign. The severely injured Supreme Lord barely managed to counterattack, moving step by step toward death. High-tech devices in the room activated again; the electromagnetic device on the flying machine started up once more, instantly altering the electromagnetic field at the scene. Following that, a machine gun was prepared to fire at Eternal Sovereign. The room lifted into the air and then pressed the machine gun's firing button; countless bullets shot toward Eternal Sovereign like a rain of arrows. Facing this deadly threat, Eternal Sovereign quickly dodged but found himself unable to escape as another wave of lethal attacks came crashing down. Eternal Sovereign was hit by Electric Baton from the room and immediately felt dizzy, as if the ground was spinning beneath him; he could no longer stand.
Seeing an opportunity, the room kicked the disoriented Eternal Sovereign away. Just as it drew a dagger to end this future doomsday sinner's life, Eternal Earth arrived to provide support. With a swing of his long whip, he sent a powerful force sweeping toward the room. The room couldn't dodge in time and was struck by the whip's energy, sustaining injuries. Meanwhile, Eternal Earth quickly rescued Eternal Sovereign.
The room covered its wound and muttered, "Damn it, so close yet so far."
Inside Dao Ban Shu Wu, Years Leave No Trace and Divine Turtle Eternal Life were sent by Crane-Haired Youthful Face. Mr. Daoban personally welcomed them and asked, "What kind of books do you two seek?"
Divine Turtle Eternal Life replied, "We want this piece of feng shui treasure; are you the bookstore Boss who defeated Crane-Haired Youthful Face?"
Mr. Daoban responded, "I am indeed Boss Mr. Daoban. Are you here to seize my Bookstore?"
Years Leave No Trace said, "If you voluntarily give up your Bookstore, we can avoid conflict."
Mr. Daoban lightly waved his feather fan; a chilling gust swept through the air as he said, "If you want this place, let's see what you're capable of." With that, Mr. Daoban took the initiative and unleashed a palm strike toward Years Leave No Trace.
Divine Turtle Eternal Life declared, "Since you've chosen violence, prepare yourself." He then spun his long fork; energy surged upward directly targeting Mr. Daoban's attack. The clash created an explosive sound as Divine Turtle Eternal Life was sent flying while Years Leave No Trace was pushed back several steps.
Years Leave No Trace held the knife in a trembling hand and said, "Indeed, you are a master; no wonder Crane-Haired Youthful Face was beaten so badly by you."
Mr. Daoban waved his feather fan and said, "If you come here to cause trouble again, I will have no choice but to make an example out of you. I hope you won't become that pitiful example. Leave now."
Years Leave No Trace realized he was no match for the person before him. Continuing to fight would only lead to defeat, so he put away his weapon and left Bookstore. Divine Turtle Eternal Life saw that Years Leave No Trace couldn't defeat Mr. Daoban, and knowing he couldn't stand against him alone, he followed Years Leave No Trace out.
Mr. Daoban remarked, "The flames of conflict in the martial world have finally reached this place."
Inside Tongfu Inn, the funeral for Yi Zhangzhi had concluded, and everyone from the Martial Arts Community had left. Only Yi Junsheng and Murong Yaoxian remained before Yi Zhangzhi's memorial. The hero had passed away, the beauty wept, and the family grieved; this scene reflected the cruelty of the martial world and the sorrow of the rivers and lakes. Murong Yaoxian had never felt such deep sadness and despair before; after experiencing this, her life could finally be considered complete. Yi Junsheng was only thinking about how to avenge his brother. He said, "Sister Murong, I must find a way to avenge my deceased brother now. Grief only leads one deeper into despair; please do not be sad any longer. I must take my leave."
Murong Yaoxian could not hear Yi Junsheng's words and continued to reminisce about their past interactions in front of Yi Zhangzhi's memorial.
As soon as Yi Junsheng exited Tongfu Inn, he was stopped by Reverse Head. Reverse Head asked, "Where are you going?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "Of course I'm going to seek revenge on my enemies. What do you mean by stopping me?"
Reverse Head said, "Then may I ask who your enemies are?"
Yi Junsheng listed several names: "Huangfu Mingmo, Evil Demon Reincarnation, Demon Among Demons, Eternal Sovereign, Years Leave No Trace, and others."
Reverse Head responded, "Each of these individuals is a master. Do you really think you can take revenge with your limited skills? It's simply a fool's dream. If you go after them, you'll soon join Yi Zhangzhi in the underworld. Impulsiveness is a devil; ignorance is a death warrant. Think carefully."
After some calm reflection, Yi Junsheng said, "You make a valid point, Reverse Head. I want revenge but cannot confront them head-on. Instead, I can exploit their conflicts to let them destroy each other, then reap the benefits later. For now, I must not act rashly. Alright then, I'll listen to you this time. I've heard that the new manager of Drunken Red Pavilion Madam has changed and that the management style has also shifted; let's go to Drunken Red Mansion to drown our sorrows." He then headed towards Drunken Red Mansion.
Reverse Head remarked, "Hey, your brother just passed away! Is it appropriate for you to seek pleasure so soon?" With that, Reverse Head followed him to Drunken Red Mansion.
Upon returning to Drunken Red Mansion, significant changes had taken place within a short time. In the center of the first floor was a stage where young women performed songs and dances. All the original rooms had been dismantled, making the space for spectators quite spacious—almost like a theater. Looking up at the second floor, Dreamy Beauty noticed that all the doors were labeled with the names of the young women. Confused, she asked a guard who replied, "Wait a moment; the new Boss will explain it to you."
At that moment, the new Boss of Drunken Red Mansion, dressed like a cultured scholar with a paper fan in hand and an ordinary appearance, slowly descended from the second floor. Seeing this attire made Dreamy Beauty cover her mouth and smile as she said, "You—a mere scholar—have become the new Old Turtle Master of Drunken Red Mansion. How disgraceful!"
Just as the new Boss was about to explain himself, Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head arrived. Upon seeing him, Yi Junsheng immediately recognized him: "Oh! Isn't this the recluse scholar, Tao Yuanming! Have you come here seeking some joy at Drunken Red Mansion, unable to bear solitude?"
Tao Yuanliang: "It's you, Bai Lian Yi Jun Sheng. I am now the new manager of this establishment—after my reforms, it is no longer what it used to be; it is now merely a place for performances where all the young women have turned over a new leaf. You come here for leisure right after your brother's death; I truly feel sorry for your brother."
Yi Junsheng: "Oh! Tao Yuanming, when did you become so eloquent? If all your girls have turned over a new leaf, aren't you just forcing them into 'goodness'? Did you get consent from your many patrons?"
Many lecherous individuals, upon hearing the words of Yi Junsheng, expressed their agreement and sought legal recourse from Tao Yuanliang. Some, emboldened by alcohol, directly lunged at the beautiful Dreamy Beauty, prompting Tao Yuanliang to immediately call his guards to pull the drunken individuals away. Tao Yuanliang stated, "Everyone, I have purchased the entire Drunken Red Mansion. How it is managed is my right, and you have no authority to interfere."
Dreamy Beauty asked, "Then Boss, what is the meaning of these rooms on the second floor with the names of the ladies written on them?"
Tao Yuanliang replied, "In order for these ladies to better entertain everyone with song and dance, I have allocated the rooms upstairs as their resting quarters. These rooms are their private spaces, and no one is allowed to enter without permission."
Yi Junsheng inquired, "Old Turtle Master, did you not retreat from the world? Why are you here, having spent such a large sum of silver to buy the Drunken Red Mansion? I suspect your source of Silver Coins is dubious. How could someone who has retreated have so much money? You should come clean."
Tao Yuanliang made a dismissive expression towards Yi Junsheng and said, "Bai Lian Yi Jun Sheng, why can't someone who has retreated have money? As for me, although I have withdrawn from the martial world’s fighting and killing, I still need to make a living. How can I fill my stomach solely by farming? So I ventured into the pearl business. In less than three months, I became a wealthy recluse. To help these poor women of the Drunken Red Mansion escape their plight, I spent a fortune to buy it and changed its nature. What a meaningful endeavor! Yet you Yi Junsheng not only do not support my actions but incite a group of lecherous individuals to pressure me. What are your true intentions?"
At this moment, Yi Junsheng was taken aback by Tao Yuanliang's righteous words, and the other lecherous individuals dared not speak further. Tao Yuanliang addressed Dreamy Beauty: "From today onward, you will reside here in the Drunken Red Mansion. You only need to take the stage and dance; no one will dare to lay hands on you again. Let me show you to your room."
Dreamy Beauty replied, "What a delightful life! Dreamy Consort accepts your arrangement; let’s go." Thus, the two ascended to the second floor.
After Tao Yuanliang and Dreamy Beauty went upstairs, a group of guests on the first floor who had come seeking companionship surrounded Yi Junsheng, asking him for advice on how to restore the Drunken Red Mansion to its former glory. Among them was the lustful Supreme Blade from the Martial Arts Community who said to Yi Junsheng: "Bai Lian Yi Jun Sheng, you are the richest person in the martial world; you could spend money to buy back the Drunken Red Mansion. Then how it is managed would be up to you."
Yi Junsheng responded: "You are Supreme Blade, master of Blade One. It’s hard to believe that after Blade One sacrificed himself heroically against Japan's invasion of the martial world, you now find yourself in such a place of debauchery. I truly feel ashamed for you!"
