Soon, Liu Guanfeng and his companions left the territory of Starfall Kingdom and entered the influence of Huaxing Kingdom. Once they crossed into Huaxing Kingdom, they slowed their pace, as the bounty from Starfall Kingdom had no effect here. The group of young people walked leisurely, resembling more of a self-funded tour than a desperate escape.
After half a month, they finally arrived at the capital city of Huaxing Kingdom, Star Source City. Liu Guanfeng had visited Star Source City several times before, but each time was brief and hurried, without truly appreciating the city. This time, with no rush to continue their journey, Liu Guanfeng suggested they stay for two days to rest before moving on.
This plan was immediately approved by everyone. Copper Bull and Iron Bull took turns bringing Song Haitao and Du Zhenyang out to explore various snacks, enjoying hearty meals and bringing back some treats for Liu Guanfeng and the others to try.
Meanwhile, Bao Rui wandered around with Wang Jiao, while Liu Guanfeng led Li Xiaohan to check out various interesting sights. In the evenings, they enjoyed the special snacks that Copper Bull brought back. The past two days were indeed quite pleasant.
After resting, it was time to continue their journey. The next morning, after breakfast, Liu Guanfeng and the others settled their bill and prepared to set off again. Their next destination was the final resting place: Guardian Nation.
The group of young people exited the inn, excitedly heading toward the west gate. Just as they reached the entrance of Yifeng Courtyard, the largest brothel in Transforming Star City, they noticed two rows of Fire Wolf Knights standing in front of it. Two individuals resembling minor generals were among them. Unlike the guards behind them, these two were mounted on Fifth Tier adult Fire Wolves, while the other guards rode Fourth Rank Fire Wolves.
At this moment, the entire street was blocked off. Curious about what was happening, Liu Guanfeng and his companions parked their mounts aside to observe. The townspeople began to discuss among themselves:
"Who is this? Such a grand display just to visit a brothel?" an obviously out-of-towner asked in confusion. A nearby local glanced at him and replied:
"You can tell he's from far away. Who else would make such a fuss over visiting a brothel? It must be our Fourth Prince from Huaxing Kingdom."
"Are you joking? The esteemed Fourth Prince would visit a brothel?" The outsider clearly did not believe it.
The local smiled slightly: "You don't understand; our Fourth Prince has a taste for this sort of thing. I've heard he already has over twenty concubines in his residence, yet he still visits Yifeng Courtyard three times a month. Each time is just as grand."
"Doesn't your Fourth Prince fear danger?"
"Not at all! Haven't you seen how many Fire Wolf Knights he brings with him? Those are gifts from His Majesty. Moreover, the Crown Prince dotes on this younger brother quite a bit."
Upon hearing this, Liu Guanfeng nodded: "The Crown Prince of Huaxing Kingdom is not an ordinary person. While he appears to care for his brother publicly, he actually knows that the Fourth Prince has withdrawn from the competition for the throne. Thus, treating him well only serves to maintain a facade of brotherly concern while ensuring no issues arise regarding the throne."
As the crowd continued discussing among themselves, about ten minutes later, a commotion erupted from inside Yifeng Courtyard. A boy around ten years old emerged surrounded by a group of flamboyantly dressed women:
"Sir, please take care."
"Sir, come earlier next time!"
"Sir, don’t forget about me!"
“……”
A series of unsettling sounds made Liu Guanfeng shiver. Sitting on Little Black, he had a high vantage point and could easily see what was happening below. The boy who emerged had a pale face that clearly showed signs of exhaustion, and his unsteady gait suggested he was barely holding it together. Liu Guanfeng shook his head inwardly: this kid really overdid it yesterday; it seems he won't last much longer. Such reckless consumption of energy is unsustainable for any body.
The boy staggered back to wave goodbye to the group of women before approaching an unattended Fire Wolf in front of the Fire Wolf Knight. This Fire Wolf was fiercer than the mounts of the two Fire Wolf Knights and Minor Generals, but it was definitely not at the Sixth Tier; it appeared to be a Peak of Fifth Stage Fire Wolf.
As the boy reached the Fire Wolf, it slowly lay down. Two more Fire Wolf Knights came up from behind and pushed him onto the wolf's back. After grabbing the reins, the boy exerted his legs, and the Fire Wolf gradually stood up.
The boy turned the Wolf Head to prepare for departure, but at that moment, he glanced over and saw Li Xiaohan sitting in Liu Guanfeng's arms. Due to Little Black's larger size, even in mount form, it towered over ordinary mounts, allowing Liu Guanfeng to easily see the Fourth Prince's appearance. Conversely, from his elevated position, the Fourth Prince could clearly see Li Xiaohan among the crowd. At that moment, Li Xiaohan was still wearing a light yellow dress, and thanks to the meals Liu Guanfeng had specially prepared for her in recent days, she had regained her former vibrant spirit.
Li Xiaohan maintained a smile on her round face, which seemed almost radiant. The Fourth Prince's eyes were fixed on her. Noticing his gaze, Li Xiaohan blushed and lowered her head. Seeing this, Liu Guanfeng's brows furrowed; he thought to himself that trouble was brewing. He hadn't intended to cause a scene, but it seemed leaving easily today would not be so simple.
The Fourth Prince then directed his Wolf Head towards Liu Guanfeng's direction and slowly approached. The twenty or so Fire Wolf Knights saw their master turn around and quickly returned to his side. Passersby noticed the change in situation and immediately cleared a path between the Fourth Prince and Liu Guanfeng's group. At this time, the petite Wang Jiao stood face-to-face with the Fourth Prince.
When the Fourth Prince saw Wang Jiao, who was as beautiful as Li Xiaohan, he swallowed hard to avoid embarrassing himself in front of others.
The crowd shifted; initially just leaving a path for the Fourth Prince and Liu Guanfeng, they now surrounded them as they saw the Fourth Prince continue forward.
The Fourth Prince brought his Fire Wolf to a stop about five meters away from Liu Guanfeng and his companions. Leaning forward from atop the Fire Wolf, he said:
“May I ask for your names, ladies? I am Ren Xingyu, Fourth Prince of Huaxing Kingdom. Would you honor me with a visit to my residence? I would like to extend my hospitality; what do you think?”
Although this Fourth Prince was flirting in public, he was putting on quite a show. However, every time Liu Guanfeng looked at his face, he felt an urge to slap him. This little guy was openly flirting with his designated fiancée.
Liu Guanfeng's expression turned cold: “Fourth Prince, if you have no other business here, please clear a path for us. We have urgent matters and do not wish to disturb you.”
Hearing Liu Guanfeng's words made the Fourth Prince's expression darken; all traces of patience and smiles vanished. He glared at Liu Guanfeng and said, “I am speaking with these ladies; who do you think you are to interrupt me? It seems you don't know where you are or who is in charge here.”
Liu Guanfeng scoffed: “I know exactly where I am; this is just Huaxing Kingdom's Capital City. As for who is in charge here, it's certainly not you.”
“Don't push your luck,” shouted the Fourth Prince. As Liu Guanfeng continued speaking, the Fire Wolf Knights behind him prepared for action. When they heard “come here!” from the Fourth Prince, over twenty knights stepped forward in unison with impressive force.
“Go grab those two girls for me; as for the guy—do as you see fit. Whether you kill him or spare him is up to you, but if anyone harms my beauties, they'll pay with their head.”
“Yes,” responded more than twenty knights in unison as two Minor Generals moved closer to protect the Fourth Prince while others charged toward Liu Guanfeng and his companions.
Liu Guanfeng transmitted a message to Little Black: “Senior Brother, use your presence to intimidate them all; I don't want any bloodshed here. If that happens, it will be very difficult for us to leave Star Source City.”
At the same time, Liu Guanfeng said to the people beside him, "Don't act yet; I'll take charge of everything."
Little Black nodded, watching a group of Fire Wolf Knights rushing over, feeling a pang of pity for them. Little Black instantly released his aura, which was visible to the naked eye. A hemispherical shield of energy expanded outward from Little Black, sweeping over a group of Fire Wolf Knights and the Fourth Prince along with two Minor Generals, crashing into the crowd around them.
Most of the onlookers were ordinary people; even those who were knights were merely apprentices or Junior Knights. Advanced Knights would find it boring to stroll around watching a prince. Therefore, when Little Black's aura collided with the crowd, those affected were immediately knocked to the ground by the pressure, many so frightened that they lost control of their bladders.
Looking at the Fire Wolf Knights closest to Little Black, out of twenty Fire Wolf Knights, ten were already wetting their pants. Their mounts, Fourth Rank Fire Wolves, had three still wide-eyed in panic, while the rest were bleeding from all seven orifices and lay motionless on the ground. The Fourth Prince and the two Minor Generals' mounts were also lying on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, not daring to get up again. The Fourth Prince, sitting on his Fire Wolf and possessing only the strength of a Junior Knight, was similarly overwhelmed by Little Black's aura and ended up wetting himself as well. At this moment, the Fire Wolf didn't care about its own smell; it simply refused to rise.
Liu Guanfeng nodded in satisfaction and gently patted Little Black's head. "Senior Brother, your control over your aura is getting better and better."
Then he turned to Bao Rui and the others beside him and said, "Brothers, let's go. It seems the Fourth Prince doesn't have time to entertain us anymore." As they passed by the Fourth Prince, Liu Guanfeng slightly bowed.
"I appreciate your kindness, Fourth Prince. I will definitely pay you a visit when I have time." After speaking, Liu Guanfeng slowly made his way through the crowd. By now, no one dared to block their path; the panicked crowd quickly parted to create a way for Liu Guanfeng and his companions.
The group of youths urged their mounts forward and headed straight for the west gate.
At this moment, the Fourth Prince had not yet recovered from his panic. The two Minor Generals were the first to regain their senses and immediately supported the Fourth Prince as they returned to Yifeng Courtyard. The three Fourth Rank Fire Wolves and three Fifth Tier Fire Wolves remained lying motionless in the street.
The two Minor Generals quickly instructed an old madam to buy a decent outfit for the Fourth Prince. One Minor General went back to report while the other stayed behind to ensure the Fourth Prince's safety. They then found several courtesans to help bathe and dress the Fourth Prince; after all, they couldn't let a dignified prince of Huaxing Kingdom walk around in wet pants.
After a short while, there was a commotion outside Yifeng Courtyard. A large man wielding dual axes stood at the entrance. By this time, the Fourth Prince had finished bathing and dressing and stepped outside. Upon seeing the newcomer, he hurried over and tightly grasped his hand, saying, "It's good that you're here; you must stand up for me."
