Chapter 267 The Bloody Case Triggered by a Dish

The eight-person bed flew through the air.

The little demoness snuggled obediently in Ye Fan's embrace.

Looking at the little demoness in his arms, Ye Fan was lost in thought.

Ye Fan had always had a question about the little demoness's existence.

Before, whether it was his senior sisters or Liang Rujing, Ye Fan would subconsciously treat them as granddaughters.

But he didn't feel that way about the little demoness.

In the past, Ye Fan would avoid anything related to the system.

Like Erha and the little fox, like those cultivation techniques and elixirs.

That purple jade ice flame flower was ignored because it was quiet and never bothered Ye Fan.

Now, even though he knew the little demoness had been bought by the system, Ye Fan couldn't bring himself to dislike her.

On the contrary, Ye Fan even felt a strange sense of closeness towards the little demoness.

He didn't know where this closeness came from, but he simply couldn't bear to be away from her.

It wasn't out of love or carnal desire, but more like a resonance from the soul.

The so-called symbiotic contract only bound the lives of two people together; it didn't involve soul resonance.

After ruling out the system's trickery, only one possibility remained.

The little demoness, or the little demoness's past life…

Must have some karmic connection with him!

The rest of their journey proceeded without any major incidents.

At most, they were eyed by hundreds of people on the road…

Fortunately, no one tried to philosophize with Ye Fan like before, so Ye Fan's mood remained quite good.

The system had also learned its lesson this time.

As soon as an enemy appeared, it immediately recharged, giving Ye Fan no opportunity to cause trouble!

Interestingly, the closer they got to Geshan City, the fewer attacks they encountered.

One day, the two finally reached their destination.

Geshan City looked somewhat ancient.

Even though the city walls were luxuriously built with tenth-tier Azure Cloud Stone, they could not withstand the ravages of time.

The city walls, over twenty zhang high, exuded a sense of pressure and the aura of ages.

The midday sun was scorching.

Ye Fan didn't linger, and took the little demoness into the city.

The prosperity of Geshan City far surpassed that of Daliang and Daling, and even the imperial city of the Wuzhui Kingdom.

Those coming and going were all cultivators dressed in Taoist robes; not a single ordinary person could be seen.

Ye Fan took the little demoness to a seemingly decent inn, intending to try the local chefs' skills.

Upon seeing the menu, Ye Fan raised an eyebrow.

The prices of the dishes were all in spirit stones; this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

Fortunately, the people who had come to deliver the dead bodies before had given him some spirit stones, so he wasn't in danger of not being able to afford a meal.

Ye Fan thought that since they dared to charge in spirit stones, the food must be quite delicious.

Before long, the dishes were served.

After tasting a few bites, Ye Fan couldn't help but frown.

While the taste wasn't terrible, it was clearly not worth the price.

Even more outrageous was that the ingredients used were ordinary wild beasts, not even demonic beasts.

It looked like a black-hearted establishment.

"Guest, your Seven Souls' Severed Sorrow." At this moment, the waiter brought over another dish.

"We didn't order this dish just now," Ye Fan replied. "Waiter, are you mistaken?!"

"Kid, you're new here, aren't you?" the waiter said fiercely.

Ye Fan and the little demoness were stunned.

The atmosphere was off, wasn't it?

The other customers in the inn seemed completely unfazed, continuing to eat their meals with their heads down.

A few individuals looked over with interest, a gloating expression on their faces.

"I think you're mistaken," Ye Fan said calmly. "We really didn't order it."

"Then today, I'll let you know the rules of this City of Sin!" the waiter said coldly. "You're eating this dish today, or you're not leaving!"

"Are you saying… forced sales?" Ye Fan was completely bewildered by this operation.

"You're smart!" the waiter said righteously.

"What if I refuse?" Ye Fan asked unhurriedly.

"Then today, I'll let you know what rules are!"

As the waiter spoke, he hurled the dish towards Ye Fan's face.

The other waiters also put down their work and began to surround them with hostile expressions.

The little demoness casually blocked, and the dish flew out of the waiter's hand.

"Smash!"

The waiter, along with the dish, landed squarely on a cultivator at the next table.

"Damn it, you're asking for death!"

"Whoosh!"

The hot-tempered man at the next table immediately flipped the table and began to punch and kick the waiter.

This action instantly stirred up a hornet's nest!

Splattered food and soup flew everywhere, and cultivators at nearby tables were all affected.

Although they had true energy protection and their clothes weren't truly dirtied, was this a matter of clothes now?!

This was a matter of face!

The cultivators at these tables rushed forward without a word, and began to "rub" against the hot-tempered old man!

"Damn it, you dare hit me!" The hot-tempered old man was enraged and pulled out a communication jade, shouting, "Senior brother, hurry and help…"

Before he could finish, the communication jade was knocked flying.

"Whoosh!"

The roof of the first floor instantly shattered, and several cultivators fell down from the second floor.

"Junior brothers, attack!"

The eldest senior brother shouted and led them into the fray.

However, these cultivators overlooked one problem: the splashing wood chips almost affected the entire first floor, enraging all the diners!

In just a blink of an eye, they all rushed over!

"Clang—!"

"Crack!"

"Bang—!"

The remaining waiters quickly retreated to a distance, folding their arms and watching the show.

The innkeeper calmly activated a protective shield and picked up his abacus to calculate the losses.

Initially, their targets were unified.

But with more people, accidents were inevitable.

"Damn it, are you blind? You hit me!"

"You dare call me blind? Today, I'm beating you!"

"Scram! You think I'm afraid of you?!"

Soon.

The battle that was initially directed outwards turned into a complete free-for-all.

These people seemed to have gotten carried away, and in the end, they were fighting anyone they saw!

The battle also escalated from mere punches and kicks to battles of true energy.

For a time, various spell lights flew everywhere, and the scene was completely out of control!

A cultivator had just scorched his opponent with a fire spell, only to be frozen into an ice stick by an ice spell that came from who knows where…

Broken arms and legs occasionally flew out amidst the spell lights, littering the entire first floor.

The innkeeper nodded and activated the grand protective array.

A layer of shielding enveloped the first floor of the inn, preventing the chaos from spilling onto the street.

Meanwhile.

Ye Fan and the little demoness were completely stunned!

There's… there's even an operation like this?

Were they, the instigators, completely ignored?

However, the scene before them did have a bit of the flavor of the City of Sin.

As Ye Fan was contemplating, several spells flew towards him.

The little demoness waved her hand, conjuring a faint black shield.

Those spells vanished without making a ripple.

The free-for-all lasted for a full quarter of an hour.

When it finally subsided, almost everyone was injured.

"Kid, if you have the guts, leave your name!" a cultivator, clutching his bleeding right eye, pointed at another cultivator and yelled.

"You think I'm afraid of you?!" The other cultivator glared back fearlessly. "Hong Ming of the Qingjin Gang, if you dare, come and find me!"

"Our Fantian Gang has noted this!" the blind cultivator roared. "East of the city tomorrow, don't miss it!"
