Chapter 4921

“Have you found the princess and the prince? Where did those two run off to?”

Gadfly took a deep breath, calmed himself, and asked.

“City Lord, according to reports from the city gate, the princess and prince have returned. It seems they went out of the city to play,” the elder replied.

“Outrageous! Daring to go out and play at such a critical time. If the people from Flying Tiger City had captured them, we’d be in a terrible position!”

“I’m going to teach those two clueless brats a lesson,” Gadfly growled, standing up and storming out.

At that moment, Niu Li and Niu Ben were in their room. Niu Li, clearly frustrated with her disobedient brother, scolded him: “You little rascal! When Father arrives, I’m definitely going to teach you a lesson.”

“You insisted on sneaking out. Now Father’s going to be furious!”

“Sis, if Father hits me, you have to protect me!” Niu Ben said, clearly nervous.

But just as he finished speaking, Gadfly burst in, grabbed the horn on Niu Ben’s forehead, and smacked him on the butt.

Niu Ben cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face, but Niu Li quickly stepped in to stop their father.

“Listen carefully—if you leave the city again, I’ll break your legs,” Gadfly warned sternly.

“Waaah! Sister went out too! Why aren’t you hitting her?”

Niu Ben sobbed even harder.

“You dare bring me into this?” Niu Li snapped, stepping forward and hitting Niu Ben again.

Niu Ben’s cries grew louder. After getting hit twice in a row, how could he not cry?

“You two aren’t allowed to leave the mansion again. Lately, a number of spies from Flying Dragon City have snuck into the city. Stay far away from strangers,” Gadfly ordered.

“Father, we met someone outside the city. Sister gave—”

Before Niu Ben could finish, Niu Li kicked him hard, cutting off his words mid-sentence.
“Niu Li, what did your brother just say?” Gadfly asked.

“We ran into a few cultivators being guided by the Great Dao outside the city, and I gave them a beating,” Niu Li quickly replied.

“It’s fine to beat up newly guided cultivators, but don’t provoke the wrong people. You still need to sharpen your skills,” Gadfly said before turning to leave.

Once her father was gone, Niu Li grabbed Niu Ben and began punching and kicking him again.

This guy nearly exposed her and got her into trouble, so of course, she wasn’t going to let it slide.

After giving Niu Ben a good beating, Niu Li realized she probably wouldn’t be allowed to leave the City Lord’s Mansion anytime soon. She wanted to contact Kai to find out where he and the others were—she didn’t want him to misunderstand and think she was being rude or neglecting her duties as a host.

But no matter what method she tried, she couldn’t reach Kai or find out where he was.

“How could this be? That doesn’t make sense…”

Niu Li was filled with confusion.

She had no idea that Kai had already pawned the token. Now that the token was sealed, Niu Li had no way to sense it.

……………

At the inn—

Hu Mazi was still in action. One had to admit, he was indeed relentless—and so were the two women!

It seemed like neither side wanted to back down, so the “battle” continued.

Meanwhile, Kai emerged from the Demon Suppression Tower. As he noticed the sky starting to darken, he realized that while it felt like a long time had passed inside the tower, only a few hours had gone by outside.

If he hadn’t run out of resources, he wouldn’t have come out at all.

“The Demon Suppression Tower is great, but where can I get more resources?”

Right now, Kai’s biggest concern was where to find cultivation materials.

Listening to the noises coming from the next room, Kai felt a bit warm under the collar and decided to step outside for a walk.

As soon as he stepped out, he spotted Xiu Rui pacing anxiously nearby.

“Brother Xiu, what’s going on?” Kai asked.

“Ah, it’s nothing. I’m just worried those two young ladies might not be able to handle Master Hu’s… enthusiasm,” Xiu Rui replied.
