Chapter 194: Xu Fenglai Stands Up, I Was Never a Profligate! (Part 2)

He..."

"Shut up!!"

The Du Manor's master almost couldn't breathe, scared to death.

Too terrifying!

At the same time, he couldn't believe it.

How could his own son be this stupid?

Hmm?

Wait, no, he's drunk, and he's talking nonsense.

Damn!

"Shut up!"

He didn't dare let Du Moke continue his outrageous words, and he even wanted to kick him directly.

"A commoner?"

"A commoner can still kill you."

Xu Fenglai gave him a cold stare, and with just one look, the master of Du Manor felt his scalp go numb, not daring to speak again.

"Du Moke, is it?"

"Let me ask you, have you left the city these past few days?"

"I have, but what's it to you?"

"My father's lost his mind, but I'm not afraid of you."

"What can a commoner like you do?"

"Hmph, you can't even act like a proper young master. Do you want this young master to teach you? Learn from me, and at least you won't have to worry about being kicked out. Haha!"

"You rebel! I'll kill you!"

The master of Du Manor suddenly lunged forward, intending to kill.

If he let this go on, the entire Du family would be wiped out!

"Huh?"

However, with just a soft word from Jian Jiuhuang, he froze in place.

The others were also unable to speak.

Only Xu Fenglai and Du Moke remained unaffected.

"Seems like you did leave," Xu Fenglai said, his face growing darker. "You went to Xinghuacun, didn't you?"

"Xinghuacun? What's that?" Du Moke sneered. "I don't care about such places. But I did go to some village."

"Why did you go there?"

"For a beauty, of course!"

"A beauty?"

Under Jian Jiuhuang's suppression and guidance, Du Moke was in a daze, his anger and resentment reaching a peak. He couldn't help but cackle, "What else would I do?"

"A rich young master, and all you care about is that?"

"Why did you go to Xinghuacun?"

"Someone told me, of course."

"Who?"

"How should I know? I spent so much money, kept so many people, all to get information for me. They tell me where the beauties are, and I go."

"I won't mess with those I can't handle."

"Those without connections, I can do as I please."

"But don't tell anyone."

"That broken-down village, though disgusting, had a beauty!"

"I went there, and it was perfect timing!"

"She was about to enter the bridal chamber with her husband, and I, of course, became her dream lover."

"Right in front of her real husband~~~ It was a first for me too~~~"

"Tsk tsk tsk, her performance, her screams, I'll never forget."

"That girl, she was so soft~~~"

"You filthy brat, what are you saying?!"

The master of Du Manor was almost driven mad.

Are you listening to yourself?

He's the heir, and though he was kicked out for his spoiled ways, he now has an Eighth Realm cultivator by his side. How could he not be formidable?

It's all an act!

Since it's an act, the heir making such a scene, questioning him to his face, means he must be connected to Xinghuacun or something," he thought.

Instead of begging for mercy, you keep talking nonsense. Are you insane?

In this situation, even denying it won't help. You should be begging for forgiveness, even stabbing yourself, to have a chance. But you?

Damn! If I'd known you were this stupid, I should've smashed your head against the wall!

He was stunned.

Xu Fenglai and Jian Jiuhuang's faces grew darker by the moment, almost unable to breathe.

He understood...

If he let this fool of an heir continue, he and the entire Du family would suffer!

So, the master of the Du family snapped.

He forcefully burned his essence blood, sacrificing his lifespan, to break free from Jian Jiuhuang's suppression and regain control of his body. Then, he delivered a powerful slap across Du Moke's face.

Boom!

Du Moke flew in a circle and smashed into the Du Manor's gate, which crumbled instantly. Half of Du Moke's face was ruined.

The alcohol in his system dissipated significantly.

But his eyes remained wide with shock and confusion, and he felt more pain.

"Ah?"

"Father, you hit me?"

In front of the Du Manor and the gawking onlookers, the master of the Du family went mad. His eyes turned red, burning with essence blood, as he beat his son, Du Moke.

The crowd was stunned.

"What's this?"

"Isn't Du Moke his favorite son? He dotes on him, a famous spoiled brat!"

"That little brat, Du Moke, is the worst of the worst. We all avoid him."

"Well done!"

"It is well-deserved, but why is the master of the Du family doing this? If I'm not mistaken, he's burning his essence blood! Beating his beloved son? This..."

"It's too much!"

The people had long resented Du Moke.

Still, the Du family held influence in the city, a mid-sized cultivator clan with connections.

Who would dare provoke a regular cultivator in the Immortal City?

Seeing Du Moke beaten in public, they felt a sense of justice.

But they also found it hard to believe, suspecting they were dreaming.

The master of the Du family, burning his essence blood to beat his son...

And under Xu Fenglai's pressure?

So much for...

Realizing this, their faces paled slightly.

...

"I'll kill you, you brat!"

"You animal!"

"You're an animal!"

"Since you were young, have I not tolerated your disobedience? But to dare kidnap an innocent girl, you beast! If you don't kneel and apologize, I'll beat you to death!"

The master of the Du family, his eyes burning with essence blood, continued to beat and scold Du Moke, "Don't even think of making excuses. Do you think we can't see through your lies?"

"How dare you, young master? Who do you think you are to cause trouble?"

"Don't even think about running away. Even if you're an Eighth Realm master, you won't escape today!"

"It's useless, even if you flee to the Imperial Capital, use the teleportation array to leave the North, or escape to the Southeast, West, or even the Central Domain!"

The crowd: "..."

At first glance, your words seem reasonable.

But upon closer inspection, there's something wrong with every word.

You...

Showing the way?

But will it work?

The onlookers were skeptical, secretly hoping that Lord Du would kill Du Moke in his essence blood state.

However, they also noticed that Lord Du's attacks seemed vicious, even shattering Du Moke's manhood, yet he refrained from striking the 'vital areas'.

It looked brutal, but only to ordinary people.

Shattered manhood?

It could be healed with healing pills, and Du Moke had cultivation, allowing him to slowly recover on his own.

Limb loss and a broken physical body?

Yet his dantian and Niwan Palace remained intact.

"He's trying to cover up this matter by enduring physical torture."

"Lord Du is indeed ruthless."

"I don't care if he's ruthless or not. I'm just thinking, if Du Moke doesn't die today, it would be a pity."

The onlookers silently communicated with each other.

Xu Fenglai crossed his arms, observing the scene with cold eyes.

A self-inflicted scheme?

Showing the way?

You hit, you point, and let's see if I'll soften my heart.

Lord Du was furious, yet heartbroken.

After all, this was his favorite child, but he had to do this, and he needed to continuously burn his essence blood, leaving him feeling helpless and frustrated.

Moreover...

The city lord hadn't appeared until now, which was already very telling.

Thinking of this, Lord Du became even more enraged. As he relentlessly tormented Du Moke's physical body, he demanded, "Speak!"

"You little beast!"

"Speak!"

"Since you were young, how did I teach you?"

Du Moke came to his senses.

Amidst his wails of pain from the beating, he gritted his teeth, realizing the severity of the situation.

So, he decided to follow his father's words and beg for mercy.

But his divine perception was still influenced by Jian Jiuhuang, causing him to speak the truth. He himself looked dazed and desperate, saying, "Since I was young, you've told me that as long as we don't provoke those we can't afford to offend, you can handle everything else for me..."

"What?!"

Lord Du's eyes widened in shock, almost scared to death.

Damn it! Even after beating you like this, you still don't understand?

"Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

A punch landed.

Du Moke's mouth instantly exploded.

The lower half of his face was gone.

Another kick...

Du Moke's throat shattered, his vocal cords damaged, unable to utter another word...

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Xu Fenglai finally understood.

With a sardonic smile, he patted his arm and said, "What a great performance."

"A truly filial son and a loving father, what a scene."

"Impressive, impressive!"

"Lord Du, you have the guts!"

"But if you had shown this courage earlier and disciplined this beast sooner, things wouldn't have come to this."

Xu Fenglai wasn't a spoiled young master; he was merely acting.

In fact, he wasn't just not spoiled; he was exceptionally smart!

In his eyes, Lord Du's actions were blatantly obvious, requiring no thought. A single glance was enough to see through it all.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Xu Fenglai finally spoke.

Lord Du, thinking his plan had worked, quickly stopped burning his essence blood, his face turning pale. "Your Highness, please forgive me."

"A child's misbehavior is the father's fault. This is my mistake, and I bear great responsibility."

"I beg Your Highness to overlook this matter. From now on, I will discipline this beast and prevent him from causing more trouble..."

"Additionally, our Du Manor is willing to donate a million essence stones to the Northern Army for their logistical needs."

"Please, Your Highness..."

Xu Fenglai smiled.

However, his face, illuminated by the sunlight, now appeared exceptionally cold.

"Don't forget that your son has been running rampant for years, committing countless crimes that deserve at least ten or a hundred deaths."

"I don't know who has been protecting him, allowing him to roam free until now, but today, we'll settle this together."

"Old Huang."

"Kill him, but remember to dull the sword. The beating he's getting is from his father, and it's the beating he deserves for all these years. We'll be the ones killing him, and he'll suffer every bit of the pain he's owed."

Xu Fenglai's smile faded, leaving only a chilling aura.

"Oh, and don't forget to extract his divine soul and light the soul lantern!"

"Yes!"

Jian Jiuhuang's heart was also filled with anger.

In his eyes, that little flower was an exceptional young lady.

Yet, this beast...

Right in front of her husband...

It was utterly unreasonable.

He wouldn't let him off easy.

Old Huang took action, and countless fine sword energies wrapped around Du Moke's broken body, slowly 'piercing' him.

Du Moke convulsed wildly, his veins popping out, clearly enduring unimaginable pain.

But he couldn't resist, not even able to scream.

Lord Du was stunned.

The forced smile on his face had long disappeared, leaving only a pale expression.

Finally, Du Moke's entire broken body disappeared, carried away by the countless sword energies, leaving only his divine soul crying out in agony and struggling.

In the face of resistance, Jian Jiuhuang simply flicked his fingers, causing Chen Ergou's divine soul to ignite and burn, lighting the soul lantern.

"Son..."

The Du Family Patriarch's spirit wavered, feeling lost and disheartened.

However, at the same time, he felt a sense of relief.

Such torment for his son... At least there was a clear target for their grievances, and afterwards, they probably wouldn't continue targeting the Du family, right? Although Du Moke's death pained him deeply, at least he had saved himself and protected the Du family...

"By the way, there's also your Du family."

At this moment, Xu Fenglai stared at him, his voice carrying a hint of sorrow: "I suppose you're not a good person either."

"!!!"

The Du Family Patriarch's heart trembled with fear.

The relief he had just felt instantly vanished, and his anxiety soared once again.

Was he going to take down the entire Du family?!

"You can't do this!"

The Du Family Patriarch shivered, filled with indignation, and said, "How can you do this?"

"You are no longer the heir, and everything our Du family has done is in accordance with the rules. If you take action against the entire Du family, it would be breaking the law, regardless of whether you are the heir or not."

"Even if you were still the heir, this is unacceptable!"

"The law cannot be ignored!"

"You're right."

Xu Fenglai nodded slightly: "I can't be the one to break the law."

"But who said that by following the law, we can't deal with you beasts?"

The Du Family Patriarch's expression changed.

"You?"

Before he could speak, Xu Fenglai sighed and waved his hand dismissively: "Never mind, I'm tired."

"Chen Ergou, you've been watching this show for so long, isn't it enough?"

"Get out!"

"Cough."

"Your Highness, there are so many outsiders here. Please give me some face."

Chen Ergou appeared.

His slender figure didn't seem like a high and mighty city lord but rather an ordinary farmer.

"Face? Under your rule, these beastly families have existed for so long and are still so carefree. What face do you want?" Xu Fenglai coldly hummed.

Chen Ergou scratched his head and quickly said, "Your Highness, you've misunderstood!"

"I know about these beasts."

"But, these beasts have their uses, so I temporarily kept them around."

"After all, even though they are beasts, their money-making methods are not bad. So, I thought I'd turn a blind eye for now and wait until it's time to slaughter them all."

"This way, we won't lack money, right?"

"This is our money bag!!! And it can even make money on its own!"

Chen Ergou spoke lightly.

The Du Family Patriarch's heart sank, and he knelt on the ground with a thud: "..."

The Du family members all turned pale, their faces ashen and their bodies shaking.

The onlookers' expressions were filled with excitement.

This analogy...

It was unbeatable!

They had thought Chen Ergou was a killer star, a beast, incapable of governing a city, or perhaps he simply didn't care about the lives of the common people.

But...

He was playing with money-making schemes here?

"There should be a limit!"

Xu Fenglai frowned.

"Your Highness, you're right." Chen Ergou chuckled.

"We'll change!"

"We'll do it right away!"

This made the crowd almost faint.

Was this still the same killer star city lord?

Why did he seem more like a brash young punk without a care in the world?

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Xu Fenglai raised his eyebrows slightly: "The Du Manor, the forces behind it, and... those who informed Du Moke. How should we deal with them?"

"Of course!"

Chen Ergou patted his chest: "Leave it to me, Your Highness, rest assured."

Xu Fenglai nodded and then said to the Du Family Patriarch, "You're right. It's not appropriate for me to take the lead in breaking the law, but I don't believe your Du family is as clean as you claim. Even Chen Ergou couldn't uncover anything."

"Anyway, we're all going to die..."

"Why should I bother doing it myself?"

The Du Family Patriarch's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and he spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Wasn't this saying that he had burned his essence blood for nothing?

Hadn't his son's efforts been in vain?

All this trouble for nothing, and yet the entire family was still doomed.

This outcome was truly...

He shuddered and went limp on the ground, unable to muster any thoughts of resistance.

How dare a mere Du family dare to defy Chen Ergou?

Suddenly, he realized something and looked at Xu Fenglai, his eyes filled with hatred: "You're not a prodigal son!!!"

"It was all an act!"

Earlier, he had suspected this.

But he dared not speak up.

There were many concerns, after all, the person had been pretending to be a prodigal, and there must have been a reason for it. If he revealed it, it might bring trouble.

But now, he was fearless.

The entire Du family was going to be finished, so why should he worry about this?

Before he died, he had to give Xu Fenglai some trouble!

Xu Fenglai, however, laughed heartily.

"I was never a prodigal!"

"It was all an act. So what?"

Boom!

The crowd was stunned, their faces filled with shock, their heads spinning.

Although they had suspected it earlier, Xu Fenglai's admission...

Was still shocking!

After all, up until now, Xu Fenglai had always presented himself as a prodigal, and he had even been driven out of the Xu Royal Manor. But today, he admitted it was all an act?!

They didn't know that for Xu Fenglai, the act had gone on long enough.

Before, he hadn't wanted to directly clash with the other families, so he had pretended that the Xu Royal Manor and North Liang were without successors.

But now...

Since the other families had likely already discovered that he wasn't a prodigal, why continue the act?

Moreover...

He glanced at Qin Yu, who was standing beside him.

"They've already started their confrontation, so I don't need to continue."

"Since we're playing, then I'll... see it through to the end!"
