"This damn old thing actually ran away. Don’t let me find you because once I do, I will definitely make your death ugly!" Xing Peng walked out of the great hall, muttering through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

  Tomorrow is the last day of the White Tiger Academy trial, and after this, it's uncertain when he could return to Gu Mu City. Although Xing Peng doesn’t have much affection for Gu Mu City, it is, after all, his birthplace. Thus, after stepping out of the great hall, Xing Peng headed outside the Xing family residence.

  Gu Mu City hadn’t changed much with the arrival of the White Tiger Academy trial recruitment. Ordinary citizens were still living their normal lives. Stepping out from the Xing family, the bustling streets filled with a stream of horses and carriages entered Xing Peng’s view, all appearing peaceful and harmonious.

  Walking around Gu Mu City aimlessly, driven purely by instinct, Xing Peng eventually arrived at a tavern that was quite famous in Gu Mu City—the Drunken Immortal Residence.

  When Xing Peng arrived at the Drunken Immortal Residence, it was already packed with people. Although it wasn’t yet time for dinner, there were hardly any seats left.

  After entering the Drunken Immortal Residence, Xing Peng looked around and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes. Although he knew of the tavern's fame, he had never visited it because it was often the site of trouble. The tavern didn’t prohibit fighting, and it was common for wandering martial artists to engage in deadly battles here. Anyone wishing to enter had to assess their own strength carefully; those not strong enough might end up dying there.

  But now that Xing Peng had actually stepped into the Drunken Immortal Residence, it wasn’t as chaotic as he had imagined. The entire place was more elegant than a tea house, and the patrons, who were eating and drinking in the great hall, were not making a single shout, making it hard to believe that this was indeed a tavern.

  Moreover, what surprised Xing Peng was that the tavern had no attendants to serve the guests. Customers had to go to the kitchen themselves to get whatever food or drink they wanted.

  "Dizzy!" This was by far the tavern with the worst service attitude and the strangest rules that Xing Peng had ever seen. Where else would you find a tavern operating in such a manner? Although this world doesn’t adhere to the principle of the customer being god, having customers fetch their own food and drinks from the kitchen was quite displeasing. Despite such rules, the place was still packed, which was incredibly unbelievable.

  "This Drunken Immortal Residence is really bizarre. With such service, there are still so many people dining here. Ridiculous, isn’t this purely masochistic?" After looking around, Xing Peng turned to leave the Drunken Immortal Residence. Although he found it odd that the tavern had such poor service yet was still crowded, such a tavern was not to his liking.

  However, just as Xing Peng was about to turn around and walk out, the entire tavern suddenly fell silent. A stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a white glaze long dress walked out from one of the rooms, attracting the gaze of everyone present.

  She seemed like a fairy walking out from a dream world. Every step she took seemed to tread on the hearts of those around her, causing their hearts to beat uncontrollably.

  She had a face that could cause the downfall of a nation, with curved eyelashes like crescent moons; her standard oval face had beautiful eyes filled with deep pools, capturing the gaze of every man she unintentionally glanced at.

  When this woman appeared, Xing Peng understood why the tavern had such poor service and yet still attracted patrons—because it housed a fairy-like beauty.

  The lady in white noticed the reaction of the people around her and smiled faintly. With that smile, the entire tavern seemed to melt, intoxicating everyone who saw it. Everyone who saw her smile couldn’t help but want to go mad for her.

  Even Xing Peng, upon seeing the lady in white smile, felt his heart uncontrollably racing, the beats so rapid it was frightening, as if it would jump out of his chest.

  "Hands soft as tender shoots, skin like creamy jade, neck like graceful silk, teeth like polished ivory, forehead like a moth’s eyebrows. A charming smile so lovely, beautiful eyes so moving." Xing Peng mused to himself that, despite having seen many beauties in the modern society of his previous life, the sight of this woman still made his heart tremble.

  An ancient saying goes, one smile could captivate a city, another could captivate a nation.

  Previously, Xing Peng didn’t believe that there could be such stunning beauties in the world, but now, seeing the woman before him, he had to accept this fact.

  This beauty, she seemed like she had walked out of a painting, making one involuntarily rise to the thought of abandoning all wealth and kingdoms just for her smile.

  "Have you all looked enough? Haven’t you hurried to withdraw your gazes yet? Whoever keeps looking, I will gouge out his eyes!" Just as everyone’s gaze was fixed on the lady in white, a sharp reprimand suddenly came from beside her. Following this voice, Xing Peng realized that there was another woman standing beside the lady in white, dressed in red and holding a fiery red long sword.

  This lady in red, even if she appeared alone before everyone, would be considered a top beauty, not to the extent of causing the downfall of a nation but definitely a stunning beauty. However, because the lady in white appeared suddenly and had such a significant impact, everyone had overlooked the presence of the lady in red. It was only after the lady in red spoke that people shifted their attention to her.

  Immediately, most people withdrew their gazes. As they did, their expressions changed involuntarily, and a trace of nervousness appeared in their eyes.

  Xing Peng was even more puzzled, eyeing the lady in red with suspicion. Although this woman possessed the strength of the early Earth Level, it shouldn’t make the people around so wary of her.

  "I already said, whoever keeps looking, I will gouge out his eyes. You, the guy in the blue clothes, why are you still looking! Are you provoking me?" The lady in red suddenly shouted at Xing Peng, and as she scolded, two silver flashes shot towards Xing Peng’s eyes with lightning speed, almost reaching him in the blink of an eye.

  In a split second, Xing Peng swiftly waved his right hand, executing ‘Spirit Finger’ to catch the two silver flashes in his hand. After capturing the silver flashes, Xing Peng’s expression darkened as he glared at the lady in red, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes. If not for his quick reflexes and the ability to execute ‘Spirit Finger,’ a normal person would have been blinded by her sudden attack. Such a method was extremely malicious.
