11: Who lasts longer?

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the fight next door still hadn't ended, and the fiery woman grew a bit impatient.

"Young Master, let's go out. This servant still has customers to attend to."

Shangguan Yi directly threw out dozens of taels of silver from his Storage Ring, "Wait a little longer."

When the fiery woman saw the silver, her eyes lit up, and she instantly quieted down. Her earlier thoughts about Shangguan Yi's surrender were long forgotten.

After another incense stick's worth of time, the fight in the room next door finally ended.

Li Xiaosan left the room contentedly. The few guards had also finished and were waiting in the main hall on the second floor.

"Hm?"

Li Xiaosan naturally knew Shangguan Yi was next door to him. Seeing the door still closed, he thought to himself.

"This old man is quite impressive, isn't he?"

"Creak!"

The door opened, and Shangguan Yi stretched, pretending to be very refreshed as he walked out, with the fiery woman following closely behind.

Seeing the woman's rosy Face and sparkling eyes, Li Xiaosan couldn't help but think more highly of Shangguan Yi.

Feeling the respectful gazes of everyone, Shangguan Yi seemed to enjoy this reverence. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he stomped his foot, slowly walking to stand before them.

Li Xiaosan cupped his hands and laughed, "Brother Shangguan, your skill is extraordinary. We brothers are utterly impressed!"

"Hahahahaha."

Shangguan Yi laughed heartily, patted Li Xiaosan's shoulder, "Oh, my condition isn't good today, not good at all."

Li Xiaosan and the others were stunned. If he could last so long when his condition wasn't good, what about when he was in top form?

They all praised him, expressing that they would definitely learn from Shangguan Yi's "endurance battle" in the future.

................

Inside the luxurious private room on the top floor, Wei Ling'er lay softly in Yang Yun's arms, her breath fragrant.

"Young Master, what do you do? You're so generous."

Wei Ling'er rested her head on Yang Yun's chest, her large eyes looking at him.

Yang Yun stroked the beauty's hair and said softly, "Me? I am Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

"Hehehe haha."

Wei Ling'er smiled charmingly, her fragrant breath flowing into Yang Yun's nose and mouth. Yang Yun held the beauty in his arms tighter.

"Young Master truly knows how to joke. What Crown Prince would visit a brothel? Wouldn't he be ridiculed by everyone in the world?"

Yang Yun wasn't angry. He quietly looked at the beauty in his arms.

Night quietly drew its curtain. The myriad lights of the streets outside reflected on Wei Ling'er's Face, creating a unique charm.

Yang Yun couldn't resist kissing her, and another round of passionate intimacy ensued...

Wei Ling'er looked at Yang Yun, humming softly, "Young Master, do you think... a rich Young Master could truly fall in love with a poor girl?"

Yang Yun smiled, "Ling'er, you're overthinking."

........

In the main hall on the second floor, everyone looked up with awe.

"A Senior is truly a Senior. Not only is his cultivation unfathomable, but even this kind of skill is beyond our reach."

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is indeed Your Highness, the Crown Prince. Fighting from day to night, with such combat power, I just want to ask, who else!"

The few of them waited like this on the second floor all night. Li Xiaosan and a few guards had another round in the middle of the night, and Shangguan Yi, for the sake of his Face, gritted his teeth and called for a girl.

The next day, it was a familiar scene. Shangguan Yi used his money power to have the girl chat with him in the room all night.

The next day, he deliberately waited until Li Xiaosan and the others left before he came out.

...............

With the sun high in the sky, Yang Yun finally came down from the top floor. Wei Ling'er followed behind him, pretending to be composed, but still couldn't help but limp slightly when descending the stairs....

Seeing Yang Yun's figure, Shangguan Yi immediately bowed and saluted, "Senior."

Li Xiaosan and the others also bent at a ninety-degree angle, "Your... Young Master."

Yang Yun nodded, looking at everyone with a hint of confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Everyone quickly averted their gaze, smiling but remaining silent.

Li Xiaosan ran downstairs to pay the bill and, as per Yang Yun's instructions, redeemed Wei Ling'er.

"Young Master......."

Wei Ling'er looked at Yang Yun with deep affection, her eyes slightly red.

"Young Master..... take care."

"Mm," Yang Yun nodded, looking at Wei Ling'er tenderly, their eyes meeting.

.............

Yang Yun was the first to shift his gaze. Then, he led everyone, leaving Yanbo Brothel without looking back.

Watching Yang Yun's retreating figure, Wei Ling'er couldn't help but start crying.

"Young Master....... will he come again?"

Wei Ling'er reluctantly left only after Yang Yun's figure had completely disappeared.

Yang Yun's next plan was to go outside the city to see how the common people lived.

As the sun set, several figures rode horses, slowly walking along a country road. Seeing the farmers who had finished their work in the fields, Yang Yun smiled knowingly.

He dismounted, walked up to an old farmer, and handed him a pot of wine, "Old man, how was the harvest this year?"

The old farmer looked at the several people in front of him, all dressed in brocade clothes with jade pendants on their belts, understanding that these few were either rich or noble.

So he forced a smile, took Yang Yun's wine, and drank it in large gulps.

"Good wine!"

"Hahaha."

Yang Yun was moved by the old farmer's sincerity and took another pot of wine from his saddle to hand to the old farmer.

After the old farmer had drunk his fill, he slowly replied, "The harvest was good. There's surplus grain every year."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yun nodded with relief, "It seems the officials of Yuanyang are quite decent."

"Pfft..."

Hearing this, the old farmer spat out all the wine in his mouth, his eyes wide with anger as he looked at Yang Yun and the others.

"These corrupt officials are good for nothing!"

"All day long, they only know how to exploit the common people!"

"Oh?"

Yang Yun asked, somewhat puzzled, "Since there's surplus grain every year, doesn't that show these officials are still capable?"

"Hmph."

The old farmer snorted, seemingly getting angry whenever these officials were mentioned.

"This good harvest is entirely due to the Fire Spirit Fairy using her Spell. How could it be the credit of those dog officials?"

"Fire Spirit Fairy?"

"Yes."

The old farmer said earnestly, "That Fire Spirit Fairy is a celestial maiden who descended to the Mortal realm, sent by Goddess Nuwa to rescue the common people."

The old farmer spoke with reverence, forming a stark contrast to his tone when mentioning the officials earlier.

"Senior, do not listen to slanderous words. In my opinion, it must be some monster causing trouble."

"What did you say! You're the monster!"

The old farmer looked at Shangguan Yi furiously. After speaking, he picked up his hoe and swung it at Shangguan Yi.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Old man, old man!"

"Calm down, calm down!"

Li Xiaosan quickly took another pot of wine and handed it to the old farmer.

Seeing the wine in front of him, the old farmer gradually calmed down, but he still glared at Shangguan Yi, "Next time you say the Fire Spirit Fairy is a monster, I'll kill you with one swing of my hoe!"

Shangguan Yi suppressed his anger. When had a Mortal ever dared to speak to him like this? If Yang Yun hadn't stopped him, the villages within a few miles would have died along with this old farmer.

Seeing the old farmer calm down, Yang Yun inquired further about the Fire Spirit Fairy.

The old farmer recounted the tale...

Thirty years ago, there were continuous natural disasters, and a great flood occurred, submerging countless fertile fields and destroying countless homes.

Just as people were despairing, an extraordinary figure flew into the sky and cast a fiery Spell, striking the Qingsha River. Instantly, screams of Dragons echoed from within the great river.

It turned out that an evil Dragon had escaped here, wreaking havoc on the Human world.

The Fire Spirit Fairy subdued it and sealed it within the Qingsha River.

Since then, within hundreds of miles, the weather had been favorable, and no natural disasters had occurred again.

Because the stunning woman used fire Spell, people respectfully called her the Fire Spirit Fairy and built a Fire Spirit Fairy Temple to worship her for generations.

Yang Yun immediately became interested. It seemed that in this world, there were still good people.
