When Zheng-Fu knew what was in the food, he took out something from his spatial ring. It was a bottle of white powder that looked like salt. He sprinkled some of them over the food. Then the food that already smelled delicious started to give out an even better smell…

The delicious smell from Zheng-Fu's table started to permeate the tavern, which made the people who were dining there feel even hungrier. They began to want some more, even though they felt almost full…

Gulp!

"Alright! It's done and safe now!" Zheng-Fu was excited that the food was safe to be eaten now. But all of a sudden, some middle-aged man came and sat opposite to him…

"Hi, young man! May I join you? You have a lot of food, and it all looks great too." When the middle-aged man sat down, he asked to join Zheng-Fu without feeling shy. Zheng-Fu did not feel startled by him. He only raised his hand to let the man join him…

"Thank you very much." The middle-aged man started to eat immediately…

Chew! Chew! Chew!

Gulp!

"Ah… It was so yummy!" the middle-aged man shouted out of joy after he finished Zheng-Fu's meal. Then he turned to look at Zheng-Fu and asked, "What was that white powder that you put in the food?" The man asked curiously…

"This powder?" Zheng-Fu took out a package that contained the white powder he had put in the food earlier. He then said, "It's just salt."

"Salt? Just salt? It's impossible. Salt can't make food this great." The middle-aged man was confused to hear that the white powder was just salt…

"It's just salt. It's just not regular salt." Zheng-Fu put away his salt package with a smile on his face…

"Not regular salt? Why is it so special?" The middle-aged man became more curious after he heard Zheng-Fu's answer…

"I can't tell you that. Well, since the meal is finished, I have to excuse myself to the room. I'm extremely exhausted." Zheng-Fu did not tell the middle-aged man about his special salt before leaving for his room. The man remained confused at the table…

"Tsk! Interesting! That white powder could delete the effects of my Seductive Powder and Addictive Powder," the middle-aged man said with a smile before getting up and leaving the table…

The reason why no one stopped the middle-aged man when he sat at Zheng-Fu's table was that he was the owner of the tavern. Zheng-Fu also knew that he was the owner of the tavern, but he did not say anything because he felt like he did not have to. If the owner of the tavern attacked him, then he would counter him. It was his motto…

Zheng-Fu went up to his room right after he got out of the dining area. His room was a regular room, so it was not special or anything. There was just a small bed and a small table in the room. After he got inside the room, he started to put the spell bound to seal the room instantly…

Whoosh!

"I hope there won't be anything happening tonight!?" Zheng-Fu could not help but think that there might be something wrong happening tonight because it was something that usually happened to him anytime he stayed over at a tavern. He just hoped that there would not be anything happening at the tavern tonight.

But he had to be sure by using the spell to prevent his sound and energy level from getting out of the room…

The night had passed, entering the morning. Zheng-Fu slept like a baby the whole night without anything or anyone disturbing him. The spell worked its charm and made it seem as if the room was empty…

"What a good sleep! The bed is so nice." Zheng-Fu stretched after waking up. He complimented the bed that was made from monsters' fur because it made the bed soft and comfortable. Then he got out of bed and cleaned up before deactivating the spell. He then went downstairs for breakfast…

Rustle!

When Zheng-Fu got downstairs, he looked for a table as usual. Then he asked the worker to get him some food. He did not forget to bring out the special salt to prepare to use it. Not long after that, the worker came back with fried meat and stir-fried vegetables. The food came out quicker than last night because Zheng-Fu did not order anything fancy…

Rustle!

"Heh? No Seductive Powder and Addictive Powder this time?" Zheng-Fu was a little surprised when the smell touched his nose and found out that they had not put the nasty powders in the food like last night…

"Hahaha! How was your sleep last night?" All of a sudden, a middle-aged man asked Zheng-Fu a question. So, Zheng-Fu looked at the man and saw that it was the same man who had joined him last night…

"It was wonderful. The bed at the tavern is so soft. Don't you agree, Boss!?" Zheng-Fu replied with a smile to the middle-aged man who was walking toward him…

"What? Hahaha, you knew?" The middle-aged man was a little startled before letting out a laugh to disguise his gesture. He also asked a question for which he did not want an answer…

"Not really! I just tested you out." Zheng-Fu got calmer and said that he was just guessing…

"What!?"

Zheng-Fu's answer startled the middle-aged man again because he had just been tricked by the young man without realizing it, so he just gave out his real identity to Zheng-Fu…

"Never mind! That's right. I'm the owner of the tavern. And I want to have a talk with you. I hope you have some time to…"

"No, I don't. I have to leave soon. But you don't need to worry. I won't tell anyone about what I know. It's none of my business. Besides, do you think that your men can stop me?" Zheng-Fu said while letting out a killing intent to suppress the middle-aged man…

"Ugh!"

The middle-aged man had to step back without realizing it when the killing intent hit him. It was scary and made him feel goosebumps. Sweat started to run down his forehead. He had to swallow a big gulp of saliva…

*Who is this kid? How come he can be this scary? That killing intent says that he has been through countless killings. How come a person this young can be this frightening? I think I should avoid making him angry.* The middle-aged man wiped off the sweat on his forehead before saying…

"Please forgive me, young master! I've never thought of anything like that. I just…"

"Just forget it! I'll leave as soon as I finish breakfast. I promise that I won't say anything about this place. And I have to warn you, I'm not always this nice!" Zheng-Fu talked like he was having a normal conversation, but his words were full of threats. No one heard the conversation because Zheng-Fu used a special technique to make sure that happened…

"Yes, sir! Please have a good time and enjoy your meal." The middle-aged man walked away after he finished the sentence. The workers in the tavern wondered why their boss was so humble towards Zheng-Fu. But no matter how much they were curious about what they saw, they did not hear anything…

"What were they talking about? How come Boss was that humble with the kid?"

"Maybe the kid comes from an important family. I don't think we should pay attention to them. Let's get back to work; otherwise, Boss would yell at us."

The workers scattered to do their jobs, thinking that Zheng-Fu was a rich kid, so their boss had to be humble with him. Zheng-Fu also stopped paying attention to the owner of the tavern and started to eat the food in front of him with hunger…

Ten minutes had passed…

"Ah…"

"I'm so full. It's time to go home," Zheng-Fu said, burping out of relaxation. Then he prepared to leave the tavern and the city to head back to his clan…

Smack!

"Ouch!"

"Senior!"

As Zheng-Fu walked out of the tavern, he clashed with someone by the door, causing the person to step back a few paces. Then a group of men rushed over to the person to check him out…

"Hey! Who did that!?" The person whom Zheng-Fu clashed with shouted out of anger and tried to look for the person who hit him. When he looked up, he saw that the person who hit him was just a kid. Then he turned fierce and said…

"You again? You dared to hit me this time?" The person yelled at Zheng-Fu while pointing a finger at him. The men in his group also stared at Zheng-Fu as if they were tigers that aimed to eat a lamb. However, Zheng-Fu was not afraid of them…

"I'm sorry. I didn't see you," Zheng-Fu replied with a calm expression, trying to walk away from the group. But then the person whom Zheng-Fu smacked into yelled something…

"Stop him! He dared to mess with me, so break his legs! Two of them!" The man ordered his men to take care of Zheng-Fu immediately. Then he let out a savage smile…

The noises attracted attention from the people in the tavern and in the area, so they turned to look to see what was going on. When the people saw the man who gave the order, their faces turned pale instantly…

"That's the first-ranked student of the Blossom Swords Sect!?"

The first-ranked student of the Blossom Swords Sect!?

The statement widened everyone's eyes because they all knew the person's reputation that he liked to bully people who were weaker than him. Then the people in the area turned to look at Zheng-Fu and felt for him…

"That kid is so unlucky. He just didn't know that he had smacked into the first-ranked student of the Blossom Swords Sect."

"Yeah! Sigh… I suppose it's his worst time around. Poor thing."

Everybody at the scene believed that Zheng-Fu would either be dead or crippled because that was what happened to anyone who angered the first-rank student of the Blossom Swords Sect. No one in the city dared to stop him from doing things to weak people. The authorities did not even dare to stop him.

All the martial artists in the city tried to avoid him too because many martial artists who were at the beginning level of the Nascent Soul stage got killed when they tried to try things with the Sect…

After those killings, no one dared to mess with them. The Sect owned the rights to hunt monsters in the area too, so they practically owned the city. As the group of men was about to reach Zheng-Fu, a man from out of nowhere jumped in between Zheng-Fu and the group. He then released pressure energy to push those men away…

"Hey!"The appearance of the man shocked everyone who was watching the whole thing tremendously. They did not want to believe that the man would dare to stop the first-ranked student, whom no one dared to stop before…
