Yanmen County, twenty miles away, Qingyun Town.
A young man dressed in a beast skin robe, with two long swords slung on his back and a Longbow in hand, carried the corpse of a black Bloodthirsty Wolf on his shoulder. He had two corpses of Crimson Flame Rabbits tied to his waist. These were all Fifth-Order Beasts, rarely seen in nearby towns. Ordinary hunters would not dare to provoke such High-Level Beasts, as it could lead to a gruesome fate.
The young man found an empty space in the town market, sat down, and placed the corpses of the Bloodthirsty Wolf and Crimson Flame Rabbits in front of him. He shouted loudly, "Freshly hunted beasts! Bloodthirsty Wolf, tender and delicious meat, its teeth can be forged into weapons, and its bones are excellent for brewing liquor! Crimson Flame Rabbit, naturally fire attribute, the meat of the Crimson Flame Rabbit can treat chronic leg pain and bone hyperplasia! Everyone, don’t miss out!"
As he shouted, two girls giggled behind him, sitting cross-legged; they were Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao.
"Brother, can you really sell them?" Yan Yao asked with a smile.
Ye Yang nodded, "Of course! You have no idea where I was when I was doing business..."
Yun Xiaoxi asked playfully, "Kid, even if you sell them, how much silver can you make?"
Ye Yang replied, "If I can earn three taels of silver, I'll treat you to wild game at the Cloud Viewing Pavilion in Qingyun Town. I've heard that the Cloud Viewing Pavilion is famous far and wide, with chefs from Bashu, their skills are exceptional!"
Unable to hold back her laughter, Yun Xiaoxi leaned against Ye Yang, saying, "Zi Yu, if you could really hunt and earn silver like this, then you should give up your position as Qi King, take me and Yan Yao traveling around the world to hunt and enjoy all the delicious food. How about that?"
Ye Yang nodded, looking at Yun Xiaoxi's delicate face with a slight ripple in his heart. He smiled and said, "Yes, little creek. We could live for a long time like that—hunting all the beasts and enjoying all the delicacies until the end of time. How about it?"
Yun Xiaoxi smiled even sweeter and nodded repeatedly, "Yes! It's a deal! We’ll hunt and eat until the end of time. You can't ignore me!"
Ye Yang chuckled lightly, "Don’t worry; I won’t ignore anyone in this world, especially not you. Hey hey, you two move back a bit; those townsfolk are only looking at you and not my goods!"
"Oh oh..."
The two girls floated away into a clothing store while Ye Yang continued selling his prey.
...
Before long, a plump middle-aged man approached with two servants standing in front of Ye Yang's stall. He looked at him and said, "Kid, where are you from?"
Ye Yang said, "People from Liang City have lost money in business and ended up here, trading some hunted game for a bit of livelihood."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I am the steward of Steward Wang's family in the town. Today is the full moon celebration for the young master’s son, and I will take all your game. What about this black wolf?"
Ye Yang replied, "Bloodthirsty Wolf."
"A beast hunted in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range?"
"Yes."
The steward was astonished. "Good lad, you managed to kill a magical beast? I wouldn't have guessed! Now tell me, how much are you selling these animals for?"
Ye Yang said, "For the Bloodthirsty Wolf, five taels of silver each; for the Crimson Flame Rabbit, two taels each. In total, it's eleven taels of silver. If you truly want them, I'll give them to you for ten taels."
"Great!"
The steward smiled happily and tossed a silver ingot to Ye Yang, while two servants carried away the game.
...
Weighing the silver, Ye Yang couldn't stop smiling. "Xiaoxi, Yan Yao, let's go; lunch is on me!"
Yan Yao came out from the shop, chuckling softly and said, "Brother, you are King Yan, holding three vassal states in the northeast, yet you still have time to hunt and sell?"
Ye Yang smiled gently at Yun Xiaoxi and said, "We've known each other for a long time, especially Xiaoxi. We met back in Liang City. Over the years, I've been busy with cultivation and battles and haven't had much time to spend with you. Now that Chu-Han is at a standstill, I’m glad to enjoy some peace and spend more time with you. Hunting and having fun sounds great!"
Yun Xiaoxi nodded with a smile. "Yes, let’s go! You promised to treat me and Yan Yao to some game!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Ye Yang weighed the silver in his hand and said happily, "Spending three taels of silver for lunch, another three for dinner, and then we three will spend four taels for accommodation. Tomorrow morning, we'll have a hearty meal and head to the Azure Cloud Mountain Range to hunt magical beasts. Sounds great..."
Yun Xiaoxi replied speechlessly, "You really know how to spend money without worry..."
"Of course, life should be like this!"
Yun Xiaoxi: "..."
...
The three of them arrived at the Cloud Viewing Pavilion, which was located beneath a massive rocky mountain range. The towering rocks were covered with lush greenery, and under the shade of the rocks, the distant clouds appeared magnificent. It was precisely because of this scenery that the place was named Cloud Viewing Pavilion.
"Dear guests, what would you like to order?" the waiter greeted them enthusiastically.
Ye Yang approached the windowsill, sat on the sturdy railing, and smiled, "Bring us whatever delicious game you have. Don't worry about us not having money."
"Alright!" The waiter carefully examined Ye Yang's attire, then looked at Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao. When he saw that both young ladies were dressed elegantly, he dismissed his doubts and went to fetch the menu.
...
Soon after, a series of spicy dishes were served.
Ye Yang ordered a bottle of Jade Blossom Nectar wine, took a sip, and smiled, "This Jasmine Wine is Sister Zeng Xuan's favorite. It's been a long time since I've seen Sister Zeng Xuan; I wonder where she has gone to cultivate her skills. I can't find her anywhere."
Yan Yao asked, "Brother, can't you sense Sister Zeng Xuan's direction by her aura?"
"No," Ye Yang shook his head and said helplessly, "Sister Zeng Xuan practices Soul Technique; her cultivation must have advanced significantly. With my abilities, I can't sense her aura at all."
Yun Xiaoxi chuckled and said, "It's alright; Sister Zeng Xuan must have reached a critical stage in her cultivation. Otherwise, she would be here eating and drinking with you!"
Ye Yang couldn't help but chuckle, "Hmm."
Yan Yao looked at Ye Yang and said, "Brother, aren't we supposed to go to the Azure Cloud Mountain Range this afternoon to hunt the Starry First-Order Beast Azure Wolf? How can you kill anything when you're drunk?"
Ye Yang patted his chest nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? I can easily kill the Starry Sky Beast even when I'm drunk!"
Yun Xiaoxi smiled without saying a word.
...
As the group was halfway through their meal, suddenly, energy surged at the edge of the loft, and a barely visible spatial rift tore open. Fox Moon emerged, looking serious, "Xiaoxi!"
Yun Xiaoxi quickly stood up, astonished, murmuring, "Master, how... how did you come here?"
Fox Moon glanced at Ye Yang and said, "Xiaoxi, your master Li Hao is dead."
"What... Li Hao is dead?" Yun Xiaoxi exclaimed in shock. "Who killed Li Hao?"
