The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 794 - 790: Mistaken for a Beggar
Chapter 794: Chapter 790: Mistaken for a Beggar
Six days later.
Two figures emerged from the Barrier Gate that led from the Ancient Martial World to the Secular World.
These two people were Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining. Over the past six days, aside from the necessary rest, Ye Chenfeng had been rushing Xia Zining along their journey. Thankfully, the Yun Tian Sect had not yet sealed off the exit. After leaving the top-tier forces and reaching the first and second-rate forces, Ye Chenfeng had increased their pace even more to prevent any unexpected incidents.
During their travels, Xia Zining had more than once proposed staying in the Ancient Martial World, but her words were directly ignored by Ye Chenfeng. With her meager Profound Rank strength, she had no power to oppose him.
"Huff~"
Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. Throughout these six days, the Soul Force within his body had been continuously depleting. Now that he was back in the Secular World, he could finally take a breather.
Then, Ye Chenfeng’s fist suddenly clenched as he muttered to himself, "One year, at most one year’s time, and I will definitely return to the Ancient Martial World. When I come back next time, whether it be third-rate forces, second-rate forces, or even first-rate forces, if anyone dares to stand in my way, I will personally destroy them all."
"You jerk, I said I wanted to stay in the Ancient Martial World, why did you bring me to the Secular World?" Xia Zining glared at Ye Chenfeng, puffing up with anger. These past days, she felt like nothing more than baggage, being dragged around by Ye Chenfeng everywhere.
Ye Chenfeng shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Xia Zining, do you remember how you urged me a few days ago? With your strength, if I had left you with the top-tier forces, do you think you’d have any chance of survival?"
"Now that we’ve arrived in the Secular World, if you believe me, I will take you back to the Ancient Martial World in at most one year. If you do not believe me..."
Xia Zining interrupted Ye Chenfeng mid-sentence, "If I don’t believe you, will you immediately send me back to the Ancient Martial World? Then I can answer you now, I won’t believe a jerk like you."
Ye Chenfeng, unperturbed, spread his hands and said, "Can you let me finish before you answer? If you don’t believe me, then you can only stay in the Secular World. The Barrier Gate to the Ancient Martial World can only be opened by a master of High Grade Heaven Rank. If you can open the Barrier Gate with your own power, you are free to return anytime."
Having said that, Ye Chenfeng walked straight ahead, leaving Xia Zining infuriated with her chest heaving in rage. She hurried to keep up with Ye Chenfeng’s pace, exclaiming, "Ye Chenfeng, how can you do this? You’re shameless, disgraceful, an idiot, incompetent, you’re impotent..."
Xia Zining burst into an angry rant. Just as she blurted out "you’re impotent," Ye Chenfeng abruptly stopped in his tracks, causing Xia Zining to bump into him. She demanded, "Ye Chenfeng, why did you suddenly stop?"
Ye Chenfeng turned around and said, "Xia Zining, can you stop acting so stupid? Now, if you go back to the Ancient Martial World, what can you do other than court death? You were all sensible when you were advising me, so how come you act like an imbecile when it comes to yourself? I’ve said, in at most one year’s time, I will accompany you back to the Ancient Martial World, and I will definitely honor this promise. Don’t forget the vengeance owed to the Ghost Doctor Sect and the others, as I have yet to avenge it!"
"And whether I’m impotent or not, we can discuss that in private, in bed."
Seeing Ye Chenfeng walk away after saying these words, Xia Zining’s face flushed with shame and anger. However, she knew that what Ye Chenfeng said made a lot of sense. Since she had already arrived in the Secular World, returning to the Ancient Martial World was very unlikely. She then said, "Fine, Ye Chenfeng, remember your promise, I will wait another year for you."
...
After returning to the Secular World, Ye Chenfeng no longer needed to keep running with Xia Zining. The two traveled at a leisurely pace toward the nearest city.
Sanzhou City, considered a third-tier city in Huaxia Country. When Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining arrived in Sanzhou City, it was already past noon.
Watching cars come and go on the streets and breathing the not-so-fresh air, Ye Chenfeng truly felt this was so much better than being in the Ancient Martial World.
Following close by Ye Chenfeng’s side was Xia Zining, who was experiencing the Secular World for the first time. Her beautiful eyes roamed curiously over everything on the street, as if she found every object utterly fascinating. The embarrassment and anger from earlier were long forgotten.
After Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining appeared on the main street in the center of Sanzhou City, passersby almost invariably stared at them for a few seconds. Their rate of turning heads was nearly one hundred percent.
"Ye Chenfeng, why do I feel like everyone is looking at us? The people of your Secular World are really strange," Xia Zining said, feeling somewhat annoyed.
"Take a look at ourselves. It would be weird if people weren’t staring! Right now, we look like we’ve just fled from a disaster," Ye Chenfeng remarked, glancing at their worn-out clothes.
"Ah!"
Reminded by Ye Chenfeng, Xia Zining let out a sharp scream and looked down at her clothes. Aside from being tattered, thankfully, none of her body was indecently exposed.
After arriving in the Secular World, Xia Zining had reverted to her original appearance. Unfortunately, six days of continuous travel had left both her and Ye Chenfeng’s faces covered in dust. They were originally a handsome man and a stunning woman, but now they looked exactly like two beggars.
"Xia Zining, let’s go buy some clothes first. I don’t want to be treated like an animal in a zoo," Ye Chenfeng suggested immediately afterward.
This time, Xia Zining did not object and simply followed behind Ye Chenfeng.
Opposite them, there was a shopping mall called "Sky Trade Tower," which probably sold various clothes and accessories.
Ye Chenfeng led Xia Zining straight into the Sky Trade Tower. As they entered, the customers and sales staff all turned their eyes towards them, clearly drawn by their eye-catching appearance. freewёbnoνel.com
"Damn, since when can beggars afford to shop at a place like Sky Trade Tower?"
"Maybe they’re not beggars! The rich second-generation kids love to play poor these days."
"These two, rich second-generation? They look like they just escaped from some backwater ravine. You can tell they’re a couple. People like them should be begging on the streets comfortably. Coming into Sky Trade Tower is simply humiliating themselves."
...
The customers in the Sky Trade Tower began to buzz with discussion. Originally, Ye Chenfeng had only planned to buy some simple clothes, and Sky Trade Tower was conveniently close to them, but what Ye Chenfeng did not realize was that the jewelry and clothes sold inside the Sky Trade Tower were all international first-line brands, even top-tier brands. Even a plain piece of clothing would cost several thousand yuan, making it something ordinary people could hardly afford there.
Hearing the incessant whispering around them, Ye Chenfeng was indifferent, but Xia Zining’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. After all, she was a woman and naturally had much thinner skin than Ye Chenfeng.
Seeing Xia Zining’s embarrassed state, Ye Chenfeng took her hand and walked towards a store that specialized in international first-tier brand apparel. He only wanted to quickly buy two pieces of clothing to change into and then leave immediately, not caring about the comments and mockery from the other customers.
At the entrance of the international first-tier brand store stood a saleswoman in her late twenties. As the saleswoman saw Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining heading towards their store, her eyebrows knitted slightly; she could tell from their beggar-like attire that they were unlikely to afford the clothes in their store. Moreover, if these two beggars dirtied the clothes, it would be the sales staff who would end up in trouble, wouldn’t it?
So, the saleswoman standing at the entrance of the store stretched out her hand to block Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining’s path and said brusquely, "This is not a place to beg. Roll out of here immediately. You two beggars think you can buy clothes from our store? I think you two are more likely here to steal."
