It has been three weeks since Ye Feng decided to go to the Silver Wind City. Throughout these three weeks, whenever monster beasts attacked Ye Feng, Jian Chen, Fu, and Ming Dong, they swiftly and efficiently slaughtered them.
Once the monster beasts have been slaughtered, they will extract their cores from their corpses and store them in their space rings or space belts.
During these three weeks, Ming Dong had broken through to the great saint master realm, thanks to the Silver Striped Golden Snake monster core and the monster cores he acquired while traveling with Ye Feng, Fu, and Jian Chen.
Right now, Ye Feng and the others were outside the Silver Wind city gate. The city gate was enormous, and a sign above it bore the words "Silver Wind City."
There were two city guards standing in front of the city gate. One of them was a burly muscular guard, and the other was a skinny guard. Fu, Ming Dong, and Jian Chen followed Ye Feng as he made his way toward them.
"Halt!" the burly, muscular city guard yelled at Ye Feng and the others. Ye Feng observed that the burly, muscular city guard was a middle-aged man, distinguished by his tanned skin, long beard, and short hair. He had sharp eyes. The city guard then said to Ye Feng and the others, "State your business."
Ye Feng didn't reply to the city guard. He just took out a small bag filled with gold coins from his space belt and tossed it to the guard. He then said to him while smiling at the guard, "Big brother, me and my friends have an important business in Silver Wind City; we travel from far away. I hope you will allow us into the city."
The guard checked the small bag; it was filled with gold coins. He smiled widely when he saw the gold coins. He then said to Ye Feng, "Of course, little brother, you and your friends are welcome in Silver Wind City." Enjoy your stay in our city. If you ever need anything while you are in the city, you can find me or my friend here; we will be pleased to assist you at anytime."
Ye Feng smiled and nodded his head in satisfaction. He then said to Fu, Ming Dong, and Jian Chen, "Let's go guys."
They nodded their heads to Ye Feng as they entered Silver Wind City, but nobody noticed that Fu was frowning and staring at the gold coin bag that Ye Feng had given to the guard.
______
In Silver Wind City
Ye Feng, Fu, Ming Dong, and Jian Chen entered Silver Wind City and started looking around the city.
Fu looked at Ye Feng and asked, "Brother Feng, why did you give the gold coins to the guard? If the guard didn't allow us to enter the city, we could've beaten him up or killed him."
Ye Feng, Ming Dong, and Jian Chen were speechless upon hearing what Fu had just said. Ming Dong then said to Fu, "You're really too obsessed with money. Fu. If we kill the guards or beat them up, we will attract too much attention to ourselves."
Jian Chen chuckled at what he was hearing, then he looked at Ye Feng and asked, "So, what is the plan now, Ye Feng?"
Ye Feng smiled and said to Jian Chen, "First, let's eat a meal in a restaurant. I am sick of eating monster beast meat every day. After our meal, we will decide what we need to do."
Fu, Ming Dong, and Jian Chen chuckled when they heard this, and the four of them started walking around the city looking for a restaurant for them to dine in.
After a few minutes, they discovered a restaurant and made their way inside. They entered the restaurant, and they found an empty table in the corner of the hallway.
The four of them walked towards the table and took a seat.
_____
Ye Feng, Fu, Ming Dong, and Jian Chen were sitting at a table when a beautiful woman in her twenties approached them.
The woman wears a tight green dress. She has an enchanting curvy body and round plump breasts. She has a slender waist, plump round buttocks, and long, slender legs.
Her skin is smooth and fair; she has raven black hair tied in a ponytail; and her face is very pretty.
She greeted Ye Feng and the others with a lovely smile and said politely, "Hello customers." "I am one of the waitresses in this restaurant, and I am here to take your order. What would you like to order today?"
Ye Feng gave the waitress a polite smile and said, "We would like to order eight side dishes, four bowls of rice, grilled meat with vegetables, and four strong drinks, please."
The waitress wrote down Ye Feng's orders then smiled at him, "Sure thing, customers, please wait; your order will be ready shortly."
She cupped her fist, then she walked away.

After 10 minutes, the waitress came back with the dishes and drinks that Ye Feng had ordered, and Ye Feng, along with Fu and the others, started to enjoy the food.
While they were enjoying their meal, five individuals entered the restaurant, gazing arrogantly at all the customers and the restaurant staff.
The five individuals were middle-aged men. They wore a gray robe and pinned a tag to their chest. The tag read, 'Barbarians mercenaries.'
The one who was leading the group was a fat man with an ugly face; most of his teeth were missing.
The person who was standing next to the fat man was short for his age and had a monkey-like face.
The other three middle-aged men stood behind the monkey-faced middle-aged man and the fat middle-aged man.
Two of them were twins, each with an ordinary-looking face and a notable height.
The last middle-aged man had an ordinary-looking face, but his height and physique were also ordinary.
As soon as everyone saw who had entered the restaurant, their faces turned pale with fear.
The middle-aged man with a monkey-like face turned to the fat man standing next to him and addressed him, "Brother Tao, all the tables in the restaurant are full." What should we do now?"
Tao scoffed at this, then noticed that Ye Feng, Fu, Jian Chen, and Ming Dong were eating, chatting, and laughing without any concern or fear.
When Tao noticed this, he scowled in anger. He addressed the middle-aged man with the monkey-like face, pointing his index finger at Ye Feng's table and saying, "It's simple; we will beat up the ones who are occupying that table and force them to give it to us."
The middle-aged man with a monkey-like face smirked with excitement upon hearing this, as did the other three middle-aged men.
Tao started walking towards Ye Feng's table, and the other four followed him when he arrived. Ye Feng and the others ignored him and his followers. When Ye Feng and the others ignored him, Tao became enraged and directed his Saint Force towards his palm. A moment later, a small, bright blue cloud of Saint Force coated Tao's palm; he then slammed his palm hard against the table.
"BOOM."
The table exploded, causing the food and drinks on it to scatter in the air. Ye Feng's eyebrows began to twitch in annoyance at what had just happened, as did Jian Chen's.
However, Fu roared like a wild beast when he saw the wasted food on the floor. "AAAAAAHHHHH."
When Tao and his followers heard Fu's roaring, the hair on the backs of their necks stood up, and they shivered in fear.
Fu stood up from his seat, clenched his fist, turned around, and punched Tao square in the face hard.
"BANG, CRACK."
Everybody in the restaurant heard the sound of bones cracking when Fu punched Tao in the face.
Fu punched sent Tao flying towards the restaurant's entrance door.
"BANG, AAAAHHHH."
Tao clenched his face with his hands and cried in pain. The punch he just received had broken all his remaining teeth, cracked his nose, and fractured his skull.
"How dare you attack, brother Tao?" The middle-aged man with a monkey-like face yelled and pointed his finger at Fu while he was trembling in fear. "Don't you know who we are? We are the Barbarian mercenaries, and your actions will result in a painful death for you. Tao, the youngest brother of our captain, will pursue you until he kills you and all your loved ones."
Ye Feng and Jian Chen narrowed their eyes in anger upon hearing the threat from the middle-aged man with a monkey-like face, and simultaneously stood up.
Upon hearing the middle-aged man with a monkey-like face speak, Fu erupted into laughter. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Barbarian mercenaries, what kind of name is this? Is this the best your group can come up with?"
The monkey-like-faced middle-aged man, along with the other three middle-aged men, flushed in anger; they all summoned their saint weapons simultaneously.
The middle-aged man with a monkey-like face yelled, "Kill them."
All of them charged at Fu, but two fast sword qi fly in the air with incredible speed. One of the swords, Qi, was silver in color, and the other was black-purple.
"SWISH, SWISH. SQUASH, SQUASH."
Two of the three middle-aged men were beheaded by the two sword qi; their heads flew in the air, and their blood gushed out of their wounds like a fountain.
When the monkey-like-face middle-aged man noticed that one of the two heads was disintegrating into dust while it was in the air, he began to urinate on himself.
When Jian Chen saw the head crumble into dust and realized Ye Feng's sword qi had severed it, he turned his attention to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng smiled as he looked at his saint weapon and thought to himself, "Interesting element the blood dragon fang obtained after it mutated. I am way stronger now than before."
The middle-aged man with the monkey-like face and the other middle-aged man froze in fear when they saw what happened; they couldn't move from their spot.
Fu quickly grabbed the middle-aged man's neck with his hand, and before he could break his neck, the man began pleading with Fu, "Please forgive me, young master."
After giving it some thought, Fu smiled and asked, "Do you have gold coins?"
Ye Feng, Jian Chen, and Ming Dong were speechless when they heard Fu's question.
The middle-aged man nodded his head and said, "Yes, young master, I have ten gold coins."
Fu smiled, and he removed his hand from the middle-aged man's neck and stretched his palm to him.
The middle-aged man quickly handed all his gold coins to Fu, and Fu beamed when he saw the ten gold coins.
He then said to the middle-aged man, "I will spare your life, but you will need to pay for the damages you caused for the restaurant, and don't forget to pay for our meals."
The middle-aged man sighed in relief when he heard this and said, "It will be my honour to pay for your meal and your friends meals, young master."
Fu nodded his head in satisfaction, then addressed Ye Feng and the others who were staring at him and the middle-aged man with a dumbfounded expression.
"Come on guys, let's leave," Fu said with an arrogant smile.
They nodded to Fu and started walking out of the restaurant.
Before they departed, Fu kicked the unconscious Tao, sending him flying into the restaurant.
"CRASH."
Tao slammed on a dining table, causing the table and dishes to break.
