King of Nine Heavens

C23 Wishful Thinking

Although he was heavily injured, it was still possible for them to deal with Gao Feng alone. If the opponent had added this big guy, then it wouldn't have been him being bullied, but them being bullied instead.    

    

"Let's go."    

    

Lee Haotian hesitated for a moment and stopped his companion. After walking a few steps away from the enemy's attack range, Lee Haotian turned around and looked at Gao Feng. He said angrily, "Brat, you will eventually be left alone. When the time comes, I will settle my old debts with you."    

    

At that time, it was uncertain who would be the one to settle the score with him. With his breakthrough in cultivation, Gao Feng was no longer afraid of Lee Haotian. He clenched his fists and said indifferently, "I'm ready at any time!"    

    

Huzi looked at the back of Lee Haotian and the others as they left and asked carelessly, "Brother, what enmity do you have with him? Why don't I help you get rid of him?"    

    

"I don't have any grudges with them, just a little friction."    

    

Gao Feng had just entered the martial arts world and didn't want to be enemies with anyone.    

    

Huzi was not an unreasonable person. Since the other party had already said so, he did not want to dwell on this issue anymore. He patted Gao Feng's shoulder and said excitedly, "Brother, I've won. Let's go drink at the Drunken Immortal Tavern!"    

    

Gao Feng reminded him gently, "I heard that the Intoxicated Immortal Restaurant costs over a thousand gold coins for one meal …"    

    

"So many?" Huzi felt embarrassed, he smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "Usually, a meal in a normal restaurant would only cost 1 gold coin. I thought that a meal at the Drunken Immortal Tavern would only cost 10 gold coins, I didn't think that..."    

    

Huzi raised his head to look at the luxurious pavilion built beside the water, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Since it costs so much money to eat one meal in that restaurant, why is there always so many seats?"    

    

Huzi only had a little more than a dozen gold coins on him, and this was all exchanged for the Devil Beast meat after he killed the Devil Beast painstakingly.    

    

"That's because rich people have so many idiots." Gao Feng said jokingly.    

    

Huzi suddenly realized and said, "Indeed, many people are foolish. I know a rich man, and he has several concubines that spend a lot of money in the brothel. What makes me curious is that those girls are even prettier than his wife."    

    

"We will never understand the life of the rich." Gao Feng said with a wry smile. He then looked at Huzi with a sharp gaze, "Brother, how do you know that those women in the brothel are not as pretty as his aunts? Don't tell me that you often go to the brothel?"    

    

"I want to go, but they don't like me at all, because I don't have the money to spend." Huzi laughed out loud, patted Gao Feng's shoulder and said, "Bro, you are too ignorant. Have you never heard of such a saying? Haven't you ever eaten pork before? Have you never seen a pig walk?"    

    

It was really appropriate to treat the women in the brothel like a pig that was willing to marry its husband. Gao Feng didn't read much, but he still understood all of this. He couldn't help but give Gao Feng a Like.    

    

Gao Feng looked at Huzi's bloody arm and asked with concern, "Brother, is your arm alright?"    

    

Huzi said without a care: "It's fine, this is nothing. I remember the first time I hunted the Devil Beast, my entire arm was bloody, I couldn't even see a whole piece of skin, and it automatically healed after a short while, it was completely fine, there isn't even a scar."    

    

Not only was he injured, he wasn't treated, and there wasn't even a scar left behind. Just what kind of powerful body was this? It was truly unheard-of. Gao Feng asked in disbelief, "Brother, are you sure you won't have scars?"    

    

Huzi's face slightly darkened, and said in a serious tone, "Brother, do I need to lie to you about this kind of thing? If you don't believe me, you'll know in two hours. "    

    

Gao Feng was relieved when he saw his serious face. His Master had once said that the great era that only happened once every thousand years was coming. It was possible for anyone to appear, and it was possible for anything to happen.    

    

The two of them chatted as they walked, and before long, they arrived at a restaurant near the drill grounds. Noticing that the restaurant was full of customers, they could only continue walking forward. After about a quarter of an hour of walking, they finally saw a restaurant with a few customers.    

    

The two of them walked into the restaurant and found a table near the window. They sat down and ordered a few ordinary dishes. Then, they started to drink the wine in a jug.    

    

While toasting, Huzi looked at Gao Feng and asked, "We've known each other for so long, yet you don't know your name?"    

    

They didn't even ask for each other's names. Now that they heard Huzi ask, Gao Feng took a sip of wine and said with an awkward smile, "My name is Gao Feng, I just turned fifteen."    

    

"My name is Liu Xiaohu, everyone who knows me calls me Huzi, I'm not even 15 yet. "Brother, you are older than me by a month, I will call you Brother Feng from now on." Huzi mumbled as he chewed on the food.    

    

Huzi had participated in three consecutive competitions. His physical strength was almost depleted and he desperately needed energy. Basically, he ate one mouthful of food at a time.    

    

Hearing the other party state his age, Gao Feng asked with a hint of surprise, "Didn't they say that only those who are over 16 and under 20 can participate in the tournament?"    

    

"There is indeed such a rule." Huzi blushed with embarrassment. It was obvious that he was not good at lying.    

    

Seeing his embarrassment, Gao Feng teased: "If you win the match, won't you let that old cow eat the grass?"    

    

Huzi was even more embarrassed. He paused for a moment, then said evasively: "I came to participate in the tournament mainly to win the competition's rewards and become a core disciple of Xiaoxiang Palace. I'm not here to be the son-in-law of the City Lord of Xiaoxiang City."    

    

Thinking about the rules of the competition, Huzi reminded him: "Bro, don't you dare reveal it to us!"    

    

"What did I tell you? It's not like I have nothing to do after eating my fill." Gao Feng said while smiling, "I actually hope that you can become the son-in-law of the City Lord of Xiaoxiang City. That way, you will have an endless amount of wealth in your life, and I can benefit from that."    

    

"With my looks, even if I win first place, a princess might not even be able to like me. She doesn't like me. Even if we get married, my life might not be so good. " Huzi said honestly.    

    

Gao Feng sized up Huzi. Huzi's appearance was indeed fierce and he was tainted with the berserk aura of a lot of Devil Beast. Normal girls would be scared when they saw his face. How could they get along with him?    

    

After all, they hadn't known each other for long, so Gao Feng couldn't tell her the truth. Thus, he comforted her: "If she really is a young miss who looks good on her looks, it might not be a bad fortune if you don't marry her."    

    

Huzi shook his hands and said, "Don't talk about these unhappy things. After all, these things are far, far too distant and unrealistic."    

    

With that, Huzi opened his mouth and drank a bowl of wine to hide his thoughts.    

    

It was indeed a bit unrealistic. Entering the eighth rank at sixteen would be a bit difficult, but the following matches would be even more brutal. He was afraid that he wouldn't have such good luck. Gao Feng asked curiously, "Huzi, do you know who your next opponent is?"
