CHAPTER 301: 301

"You bastard, have you had enough?"

Just then, a roar of rage exploded within the Treasure Pavilion.

Qin Feiyang, like an enraged lion, dashed out of the Treasure Pavilion like lightning and fiercely kicked the Wolf King’s butt!

AWOOO!

The Wolf King let out a howl of agony. Like a kite with a broken string, it soared into mid-air, tracing an elegant arc. Finally, with a loud thud, it landed head-down and butt-up, smashing into the street and burying its entire head in the ground.

"Huh?!"

The crowd was taken aback. Who has such guts, daring to kick this Rogue Wolf? Aren’t they afraid of it targeting them and bringing disaster upon all the women in their families?

The girl in white and the group of men in black were also stunned as they stared at Qin Feiyang. What’s going on? An enemy of that lecherous wolf?

"HAHA..." the girl in white began, hands on her hips, "You damn lecher, how many people have you offended? WAHAHA, it serves you right!" She laughed so hard her body swayed like a flower in the wind.

One of the men in black whispered, "Miss, we are in public. Please be mindful of your image."

"AHEM!" The girl in white cleared her throat and nodded. "Yes, I should be a little more dignified."

With her hands behind her back, she hopped over to Qin Feiyang and praised him with a precocious air, "You did a fine job! Men, give him a few Gold Coins as a reward."

A group of men in black followed her. One of them took out five Gold Coins, tossed them to Qin Feiyang, and said, "Hurry up and thank Miss for her reward."

Qin Feiyang caught the five Gold Coins, somewhat stunned.

"Is this the first time you’ve seen so many Gold Coins?" the girl in white said, waving her hand magnanimously. "Oh, don’t be so polite. Just take them. It’s not every day I’m in such a good mood, you know?"

"Uh..." Qin Feiyang was speechless. Five Gold Coins? How could she even bring herself to offer them? And how could she say such generous things with a straight face? She even expects me to thank her? Does she take me for a beggar?

Lu Hong, standing behind Qin Feiyang, was equally stunned. Looking at this girl, she’s probably fifteen or sixteen years old. How can she be so adorably foolish? So naive?

Someone in the crowd whispered, "If I remember correctly, they seem to be with that Rogue Wolf, don’t they? I saw it with my own eyes last night."

"HUSH!" Someone nearby immediately gestured for silence. The meaning was clear: don’t meddle.

"Miss Lu, is it?" Qin Feiyang said, snapping out of his daze. He weighed the Gold Coins in his hand, looked up at Miss Lu, and smiled. "You’d better keep these Gold Coins for yourself!"

He pressed the five Gold Coins back into the girl in white’s hand. She stared, stunned.

Qin Feiyang ignored her, pointed to the group of men in black behind the girl, and said to Lu Hong, "These gentlemen have been chasing for a long time and must be tired. Reward them with some money for drinks."

"Alright." Lu Hong nodded with a gentle smile. With a light wave of her hand, a glittering cascade of Gold Coins appeared in the air, over ten meters high, showering down like golden rain.

"Wow, so many Gold Coins!"

"There must be hundreds of thousands, at least!"

"Now *that’s* what you call generous!"

"Compared to them, Miss Lu is so stingy."

The surrounding crowd immediately erupted in an uproar.

Miss Lu and the men in black also looked up at the falling Gold Coins. Each coin that struck them felt like an invisible slap, stinging their faces. Their dignity was in tatters. They felt like they had been nothing but buffoons.

BOOM!

With a deafening sound, the Wolf King slammed its paws into the ground. Dust and smoke billowed, and a large crater instantly appeared. It crawled out of the pit, disheveled, and roared, "Who sneak-attacked me? Are you tired of living?"

But when it charged out of the dust and smoke and saw Qin Feiyang, its pupils instantly contracted.

"That’s right, I am tired of living. Do you have the guts to try anything?" Qin Feiyang stared at it coldly.

"Er... well..." The Wolf King stammered, then forced a laugh. "AHEM! This is all a misunderstanding. Yes, that’s right, just a misunderstanding."

Lu Hong rolled her eyes and chided, "You really cause so much trouble! Do you know how worried we were?"

The Wolf King said, "It was like this: I was bored last night, so I went out for a stroll. I absolutely did not cause any trouble."

Qin Feiyang glared, pointing at the girl in white, and snapped, "Didn’t cause trouble? Then what’s the deal with her?"

"Well..." The Wolf King stammered, its dark eyes darting around furtively, as if looking for an escape route.

"You two, don’t even think about running!"

Just then, another group of men in black, looking fierce and menacing, rushed out of the Treasure Pavilion.

"It’s Miss!" As soon as this group of men in black emerged and saw the girl in white, they were momentarily stunned, then quickly bowed in unison. "Greetings, Miss Tingting."

Lu Tingting asked, "What are you doing here? And where is that bird-less idiot Lu Feng?"

"Bird-less idiot?" Qin Feiyang’s face twitched. He really didn’t know if Lu Tingting was more willful or just clueless.

The men in black smiled bitterly. One of them pointed to Qin Feiyang and said angrily, "Young Master Lu Feng was tricked by that kid and is now being held in the Treasure Pavilion."

"Tricked?" Lu Tingting was taken aback. "How did he trick him?"

The man in black replied, "That boy used reverse psychology, goading Young Master Lu Feng into bidding 100 million Gold Coins for a Top-Grade Euphoria Pill."

"What?!"

"Is he drowning in money and has to burn it?"

"One hundred million Gold Coins for a Euphoria Pill! What a spendthrift!"

"If he were my son, I’d strangle him!"

The surrounding crowd buzzed with discussions, their faces full of disdain and pity.

The girl in white was dumbfounded. When she recovered, she fumed, "That moron lost his ’birdie,’ what does he need a Euphoria Pill for? What an absolute idiot!"

Qin Feiyang, the Rogue Wolf, and Lu Hong exchanged glances, beginning to seriously wonder if Lu Tingting and Lu Feng were actually siblings.

"AHEM!" one of the men in black behind Lu Tingting whispered, noticing the strange looks from the crowd. "Miss, please watch your language."

"That’s one hundred million Gold Coins! At this rate, he’ll bankrupt the Lu Family!" Lu Tingting raged. "Father should have strangled him the day he was born! I’ve never seen such a halfwit; he’s completely disgraced the Lu Family!"

"Miss Tingting, it’s really not Young Master Lu Feng’s fault," two of the men in black said with wry smiles. "It was that woman who... damaged Young Master Lu Feng’s... ’equipment’."

"AH!" Lu Tingting exclaimed, looking at Lu Hong in surprise.

Lu Hong just nodded and smiled at her.

Everyone assumed Lu Tingting would fly into a rage and demand vengeance for Lu Feng. However, that wasn’t what happened. Instead, she gave Lu Hong a thumbs-up and said, "Sister, you did a great job! But you were too lenient. You should have just killed him!"

Lu Hong was taken aback. Qin Feiyang was so stunned his jaw nearly dropped. This Lu Tingting and Lu Feng definitely aren’t full siblings.

"But!" Lu Tingting declared, her expression shifting. "Even if he’s useless, he’s still my family. So..." Her gaze suddenly hardened. She waved a slender arm and shouted, "Seize them for me!"

The two groups of men in black immediately charged toward Qin Feiyang, Lu Hong, and the wolf.

Qin Feiyang said calmly, "State City has rules against fighting. Do you dare to try me?"

The men in black all skidded to a halt, cold sweat breaking out on their backs. In their anger, they had actually forgotten that rule. Lu Tingting couldn’t help but frown.

WHOOSH!

Just then, an elderly man in black landed before them like a bolt of lightning.

"Greetings, Steward Lu." The groups of men in black bowed.

Steward Lu nodded, then looked at Lu Tingting with a helpless expression. "Miss, you are a young lady of status. Running around like this is hardly proper, is it?"

"None of your business! Get out of my way," Lu Tingting glared at him, annoyed.

Steward Lu smiled bitterly. This young mistress is truly difficult to serve.

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in Steward Lu’s eyes. He looked up at Qin Feiyang, Lu Hong, and the Rogue Wolf, saying, "The Family Head invites the three of you to be guests at the Lu Family estate."

"Be guests?" Qin Feiyang sneered inwardly. He suspected that once they stepped through the Lu Family’s gates, they wouldn’t leave alive.

"I’m sorry, but we’re busy right now," Qin Feiyang said with a smile, cupping his hands. "Besides, we’re just nobodies; we wouldn’t dare impose on the Lu Family. Please convey my thanks to the Lord of the Lu Family for his kind invitation. Farewell." He then turned to leave with Lu Hong and the Rogue Wolf.

"I’m afraid whether you go or not isn’t up to you today," Steward Lu said with a raspy laugh, waving his hand. "Stop them!"

A group of men in black surged forward, surrounding Qin Feiyang, Lu Hong, and the wolf.

"Oh?" Qin Feiyang said without turning his head, glancing at the men in black blocking their path. "Is Steward Lu planning to use his position to bully us?"

"Am I?" Steward Lu replied. "I am merely extending a sincere invitation for you to be our guests. So please, don’t misunderstand. Keep an eye on them. I’m going to bring Young Master Lu Feng out." Steward Lu instructed the men in black, then turned and headed towards the Treasure Pavilion.

"Xiao Qinzi, what do we do?" the Rogue Wolf transmitted mentally.

"Isn’t this all your fault?" Qin Feiyang glared at it and whispered, "We absolutely cannot go to the Lu Family estate. Lu Hong, act as the situation demands."

Lu Hong nodded imperceptibly. She also knew that with so many people watching, the Lu Family members wouldn’t dare to harm them openly. But once they entered the Lu Family estate, their chances of survival would be slim.

PHEW! Qin Feiyang took a deep breath, suddenly looked up at the sky, and shouted, "Look! The Prefect is here!"

"The Prefect!" Everyone on the street gasped and quickly looked up. Lu Tingting and the men in black did the same. But there wasn’t a soul in sight.

At that exact moment, Lu Hong opened a portal, and the two humans and the wolf darted into it like lightning.

"No!" Lu Tingting was the first to realize. "We’ve been tricked! Stop them!" she yelled hurriedly.

But it was too late. By the time the men in black lunged forward, the portal had already vanished.

"Such a crafty fellow," Lu Tingting sneered. "But it’s far too early for him to think he can escape the palm of my hand! Let’s go!"

"Miss Tingting, aren’t we waiting for Young Master Lu Feng?" one of the men in black asked quickly.

"The mere sight of that idiot makes me want to vomit." Lu Tingting snorted and stormed off, with the men in black who had come with her hurrying to follow.

Meanwhile, the men in black who had accompanied Lu Feng remained, exchanging awkward smiles.
