Xing Wuji only then realized that he had been enveloped by Xiao Fei's domain of laws without his knowledge.
In a battle, such a situation would have already decided the victor, or even life and death.
Xing Wuji took several deep breaths, which could only mean that this person's laws were far superior to his own, far exceeding the scope expected of the Nascent Soul realm.
He had underestimated this person!
If he continued to entangle himself, he would only bring shame upon himself.
"Hmph! Let's go!"
Xing Wuji let out a cold snort, flicked his sleeve, and turned to leave with his two subordinates.
As he passed by the several young servants at the door, he gave them a meaningful glance, perhaps accompanied by some telepathic transmission.
Xiao Fei did not use his domain to stop Xing Wuji, allowing him to leave freely.
If a fight were to break out here, it would only escalate the conflict.
Xing Wuji himself was not terrifying, but he represented the Xing family.
After Xing Wuji left, the maids and servants who had been smiling at Xing Wuming earlier entered the private room with cold expressions.
"Xing Wuming, your meal cost a total of twenty-eight thousand high-grade spirit stones, plus fifteen high-grade spirit stones for the damaged private room door.
A total of twenty-eight thousand and fifteen high-grade spirit stones. Xing Wuming, please settle the bill!"
These two servants had personally witnessed Xing Wuming's downfall, a complete and irrecoverable defeat, and their attitudes immediately changed.
Even the door kicked in by Xing Wuji was charged to Xing Wuming.
"Are you blind! We haven't finished eating yet! Why are you asking for the bill?"
This time, it was Xiao Lan who spoke. Xing Wuji attacking his competitor was understandable.
But why should these servants, who were beneath them, also look down on others and kick them when they were down?
"I'm sorry, our Heaven-grade room is only open to guests with a black VIP token. Xing Wuming no longer possesses a black VIP token."
Xing Wuming's black VIP token had also been confiscated.
"According to the rules of the Drunken Immortal Tower, guests without a black VIP token are not permitted to dine in Heaven-grade private rooms."
"The four of you, please settle the bill!"
Xiao Fei took out twenty-eight thousand high-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and threw them into the hand of a servant.
"A total of twenty-eight thousand high-grade spirit stones. As for the fifteen spirit stones for the broken door, you can go ask Xing Wuji yourself."
He had originally intended to freeload a meal off Xing Wuming, but in the end, he had to foot the bill himself.
This meal was also incredibly expensive. Twenty-eight thousand high-grade spirit stones was close to the entire fortune of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Damn Xing Wuming, he was usually so extravagant.
Even with his current wealth, he would not spend such a vast amount of spirit stones on such expensive food just to satisfy his appetite.
"Also! Pack up the rest of the food for me, I want to take it with me!"
Since he had paid for it, he would definitely take the unfinished food with him to eat slowly.
The servants took the spirit stones and looked at Xiao Fei with a strange expression, but they still went to pack the food.
Xing Wuming, somewhat dejected, followed behind Xiao Fei as they left the Drunken Immortal Tower.
Many people were already pointing and gossiping about him being severely punished by his family.
Everyone enjoyed seeing the misfortunes of young masters from prominent families, so the conversations were lively.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, thank you for treating me. I must go and serve my family's sentence of hard labor, so I shall take my leave."
Xing Wuming cupped his hands towards Xiao Lan again and was about to leave, feeling that he had no face to stand before Xiao Lan at the moment.
"Stop. Can you tell me where you'll be serving your hard labor, and if there's any way to avoid it?"
This time, it was Xiao Lan who stopped Xing Wuming. She wanted to help him.
In her heart, she had already thought of countless reasons to help Xing Wuming.
For example, a large part of Xing Wuming's punishment was due to their previous scheme against him.
When they encountered the giant last time, Xing Wuming had risked his life to save her…
In short, she felt that she should help Xing Wuming during his difficult times.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xiao! You've seen my embarrassment! The family's rules are set, and no one can escape them."
Xing Wuming cupped his hands again and left dejectedly.
Men least wanted to be seen by their beloved when they were at their most disheveled and dispirited. Xing Wuming just wanted to disappear from Xiao Lan's sight as quickly as possible.
"Fellow Daoist Xing!"
Xiao Lan wanted to say something more, but Xing Wuming was already quickening his pace.
Xiao Fei took out a storage bag from his embrace and handed it to Xiao Lan.
"Second Sister, give this to him."
Xing Wuming was penniless now, almost having his undergarments stripped away. This storage bag contained some spirit stones, pills, and a few sets of clothes.
The items were not many. Xing Wuming would be oppressed upon his return to the family, and he might not be able to keep much wealth.
Xiao Lan took the storage bag and chased after him without hesitation.
Xiao Fei and Huang Feifei waited in place for about half an hour before Xiao Lan returned alone.
"Second Sister, let's go. We'll find a place to stay here and observe the situation first."
From his second sister's demeanor, Xiao Fei keenly sensed that she had developed feelings for Xing Wuming.
If that were the case, it would be inappropriate for them to simply leave, and it would surely leave a permanent regret in his second sister's heart.
From his understanding of Xing Wuming over the past few days, although he had some of the airs of a spoiled young master, he was not wicked.
If Xiao Lan had feelings for him, Xiao Fei naturally wouldn't object.
Therefore, he made the same decision as Xiao Lan and decided to help Xing Wuming.
Given Xing Wuming's current predicament, the best way to help him was to improve his strength.
As long as his strength was sufficiently powerful, he didn't believe the Xing family would be willing to give up a strong cultivator.
Xing Wuming's current Nascent Soul realm might not mean much to the Xing family, but what about the Void Refining realm?
With the amount of spiritual herbs in his spatial dimension, cultivating a Void Refining cultivator should not be too difficult.
Therefore, he decided to stay in Tianyuan City first.
There were many cave dwellings for rent or sale in Tianyuan City.
Driven by his obsession with real estate, Xiao Fei decided to purchase cave dwellings directly in the central area of the city.
The three of them bought three adjacent cave dwellings, one for each person, making it convenient and comfortable to live.
The central area of the largest city of the human race was absolutely valuable and would appreciate in value. If they no longer wanted them in the future, they could sell them at the original price or even higher.
It was equivalent to living there for free, without spending a penny, and even potentially making a profit.
This logic held true, but very few people could achieve it. They could only rent cave dwellings and pay rent.
Because the twenty million people in Tianyuan City were crammed into one city, it was no exaggeration to say that every inch of land was precious.
The cave dwellings here were sky-high in price, and ordinary cultivators could not afford them, so they could only work hard to earn spirit stones to pay rent.
These three cave dwellings cost him three million high-grade spirit stones. If he had gathered all the spirit stones from his previous life on the Eastern Continent, he might not have been able to afford them.
