Fei Chen's Sword Journey
PPFC 272 - Yangping City
PPFC 272 - Yangping City
The large number of queues of residents made the Seven Flower Demon warrior guard the main gate of Yangping City tightly. The only access is required to have a hundred gold pieces if you want to live or visit in Yangping City.
A very expensive cost. About five hundred people were in line and Fei Chen was in the queue. Fei Chen himself could have paid all the survivors of the Demon Beast attack to live in Yangping City, only if he did that would cause a commotion.
‘Troubles..’ murmured Fei Chen in heart.
“Deshe, can you take care of these people outside while I'm inside?” ask Fei Chen slowly. Deshe who changed her form into a small one appeared between Fei Chen's head hairs.
“Certainly can Tuanku.”
Fei Chen nodded and started walking closer to the front of the queue with the gate. The aura of the Hell King coming out of his body made people keep their distance and disdain for him. Fei Chen himself walked around as if there were no people around.
“You... Do you have enough money? Don't let us act rudely to you like we did to them.” One of the warriors with a lazy face looked at Fei Chen.
“Take this.” Fei Chen took out a hundred gold pieces and gave them to the swordsman.
“Hey, wait a minute. It's weird that anyone has that kind of money in the middle of this mess? You who's the young man?” The other guard rebuked and asked with the intention of interrogating.
Fei Chen let out a long sigh and revealed a small white snake hiding under his cloak. Instantly the warriors who were on guard were startled and kept their distance.
“Bokah! Are you threatening us?!”
“This switch features exactly the same as talked about!”
“Say! Who are you exactly?!”
The uproar at the city gate made people instantly keep their distance, while Fei Chen remained calm and explained to the guards that he was a snake charmer.
“I heard His Majesty hates this snake right? I caught and sold this snake body part to make enough of my life. I have indeed caught some of them because I thought that it would help my new life within the safe city walls,” Fei Chen explained with a relaxed face making people believe his words.
“Snake handler huh? Your work is very rare in the midst of this chaos. Come in, you get the right to live in Yangping City. But you have to remember the tax every month, man.” One of the guards embraced Fei Chen and brought him into the gate.
“Young man, if you give me some gold pieces, I will tell you how to survive in this city. How do you have the money?” The guard who grabbed him said. Fei Chen let out a light sigh and gave the guard five hundred gold pieces of money.
Just contact the guard was shocked not a bitch, “This!” But when he saw Fei Chen's glare, the guard nodded slowly and took the money.
“I didn't expect you to have this much money. Take it easy, I'll shut up.” The guard broke out in cold sweat from being under Fei Chen's pressure.
“Listen, I want to have access to meet with the leader of this city. I have something to talk to him about. Can you do that?” Fei Chen asked and the guard paled his face.
“Youth... What do you want to do after meeting Mr Hei Yu?”
“So this ruler is named Hei Yu. What are the characteristics? The power possessed? And its effect on the city... Can you tell me everything?” A question from Fei Chen made the guard want to escape.
“Hey, you two get in the way!” shouted the guard who saw the two talking.
Fei Chen smiled faintly and replied, “Sorry, we will go.” Immediately Fei Chen gestured for the guard to follow him.
The guard told Fei Chen about his identity as Bei Ping. In order to keep his family alive, Bei Ping is forced to work as a swordsman of the Seven Demonic Flowers.
Bei Ping used to be a member of the white sect, but since Emperor Yang Ergou's influence was getting bigger and slaughter was inevitable. Bei Ping seeks a safe life for the sake of his family.
“Truly sad isn't this me?” said the man with a long breath.
Fei Chen smiled faintly, “I thought you were a loser but I was wrong. This situation is not wrong. If you want to blame for everything that happened, you have to blame yourself for being too weak.”
Bei Ping looked at Fei Chen elaborately. Compared to his job as a snake charmer, Fei Chen's charisma and good looks made Bei Ping confident that the handsome young man was a high noble.
“We'd better get to that store. We drink for a while,” invite Fei Chen because he wants to pry for information.
Bei Ping only nodded and smiled awkwardly as the Seven Flower Demon warriors greeted him.
Inside the tavern Fei Chen found many members of the Seven Flower Demon warrior drinking wine. Fei Chen and Bei Ping joined before Fei Chen asked Bei Ping about his readiness to change his destiny.
“Bei Ping, I give you two options now.” Fei Chen's sharp and cold gaze pierced Bei Ping's body.
‘Aura it... They all don't feel it... This aura was stronger than Emperor Yang Ergou... Who is he?’ Bei Ping broke out in cold sweat when he found out Fei Chen was threatening him.
“The first choice is to work under me while I am in this city... Second choice, fight your destiny and become my subordinate.”.
“Heh?”
Fei Chen's words made Bei Ping startled. The man was confused for a moment and his mind instantly dissolved in his dark past before changing with his future.
‘Optional? Do I have the right to choose?’ Inner Bei Ping who felt a burning soul within his body.
“Youth... I chose..”
“Hey, Bei Ping! Who is this young man? Looks like you blackmailed her! Buy me a glass of wine!” Before Bei Ping finished his speech, one of the noisy warriors embraced him.
“Take with my name,” said Bei Ping gave a piece of gold to the swordsman.
