This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 332 - 65: The Real Culprit
Chapter 332 -65: The Real Culprit
Fenghua Avenue.
The largest song and dance hall, “Yuan Xiang Pool,” was closed today.
As the most famous and successful song and dance hall in the entire Datong Prefecture City, Yuan Xiang Pool’s daily turnover reached over two hundred thousand every evening!
Such a loss for closing for one night was enormous, and it also risked offending customers.
But tonight, not only was Yuan Xiang Pool closed, it also announced that it was entertaining just one person for the evening.
Closing to entertain just one person!
Since Yuan Xiang Pool opened its doors over a decade ago, there have been only three individuals bestowed with such treatment.
The first was the First Swordsman of the provincial city, the former number one on the Fengyun List, and now the second, Junior Master Uncle of Green Mountain Sword Sect — Gu Yufeng.
The second was the former Garrison Commander of Datong Prefecture!
The arrival of these two cemented Yuan Xiang Pool’s status as the number one song and dance hall and established Feng Sanniang’s status in the World, henceforth becoming known as “Queen.”
Tonight, Yuan Xiang Pool closed its doors to guests to welcome its third visitor — the Green-faced Ghost King!
At 9 pm, a luxury car drove from afar and parked outside the entrance of Yuan Xiang Pool.
A team of greeters had been waiting by the door, and upon seeing the car stop, one of them stepped forward proactively to open the car door.
Li Fei, wearing a mask, got out of the back seat.
The luxury car he was in had been parked in the Human Face Villa, and Yang Zhe had selected a driver to bring him to Yuan Xiang Pool.
After walking through the gates of Yuan Xiang Pool, Feng Sanniang approached Li Fei with a leisurely stride.
Today, she wore a black backless dress, revealing a glimpse of her snowy skin at the front, wearing high heels, every frown and smile captivating.
Li Fei noticed that the Blood Soul in the Myriad Blood Pearl was being drained faster than it had in their previous encounters.
It seemed that Feng Sanniang was putting more effort into using her Bewitching Technique this time!
She approached Li Fei, and a faint fragrance wafted through the air, refreshing the mind.
“Congratulations to the Green Young Master on taking over Human Face Villa.”
Feng Sanniang bowed in greeting, her seductive eyes hazy as she looked at Li Fei:
“Should I start calling the Green Young Master the Ghost King from now on?”
“No need.”
Li Fei replied coldly.

Although he had the Myriad Blood Pearl to resist the extraordinary ability Feng Sanniang was using, even if you set aside the extraordinary abilities, Feng Sanniang herself was an extremely charming woman.
Li Fei was a normal, virile man. To say he was not moved by such a sensual creature would be false, so he could only try to maintain an icy demeanor.
Feng Sanniang appeared unmoved by Li Fei’s indifference. She walked up beside him, pressing her body against his and took the initiative to hook her arm through his.
Li Fei was startled but did not pull away.
Doing so would seem too deliberate and would put him at a disadvantage.
“Then let me give the Green Young Master a thorough tour of Yuan Xiang Pool, since tonight you are the sole guest here.”
Feng Sanniang whispered in Li Fei’s ear, her arm still linked with his.
His keen sense of awareness made Li Fei more sensitive. He could clearly feel the curves of Feng Sanniang’s body pressing against him and those soft, resilient parts.
Fortunately, Li Fei’s realm allowed him to control his Qi-Blood at will, keeping his mental and physical state in balance.
Thus, Feng Sanniang began escorting Li Fei from the first floor for the tour.
On stage, a maiden dressed in simple attire began playing the zither, accompanied by seven women dressed in translucent silk skirts dancing, their fair skin barely concealed.
While it was called a song and dance hall, the performances at Yuan Xiang Pool were imbued with taste, never vulgar, yet perfectly stirring the desires in people’s hearts.
Starting from the first floor, Feng Sanniang escorted Li Fei up to the fifth floor, where they viewed five different song and dance performances.
Graceful, passionate, ethereal, luxurious, enticing — each performance had its distinct style.
Even with his experience from his previous life, Li Fei had to admit that Yuan Xiang Pool indeed had something special.
He began to understand the joys of “the emperor no longer holds morning court.”
Finally, Feng Sanniang led Li Fei up to the sixth floor and entered the same room he had been in during his previous visit.
This time, Feng Sanniang did not sit behind the screen; instead, she sat next to Li Fei and personally brewed tea for him.
“Is the Green Young Master satisfied with tonight’s performances?”
Feng Sanniang asked as she poured the tea.
“It’s still lacking somewhat.”
Li Fei said calmly.
“Oh?”
Feng Sanniang looked at him in surprise, “Could it be that the Green Young Master wishes to see me perform a dance personally for you?”
Her expression was teasing, provoking a tantalizing itch in one’s heart.
Li Fei looked into her eyes:
“Feng Sanniang, you didn’t invite me here tonight just for me to watch dances all night, did you?”
“Don’t be so impatient, Green Young Master.”
Feng Sanniang gently pushed the cup of brewed tea toward Li Fei.
Li Fei: “My time is precious.”
Feng Sanniang: “…”
For the first time in her life, she began to doubt her own charm.
One of her core level extraordinary abilities was named “Charming Heart,” a power that subtly evokes a sense of fondness in people without their awareness.
Moreover, the strength of “Charming Heart” lies in its quiet influence, making it hard for people to notice and resist.
Even martial artists like Zhang Shan, who possessed “Dragon Power” and could resist magic, could not ward off “Charming Heart.”
Since developing this extraordinary ability, Feng Sanniang had been incredibly successful these years. Anyone she sought to bewitch had never escaped her grasp!
Of course, the effectiveness of the bewitchment varied from person to person.
When used on some old libertines, the effect of “Charming Heart” went off the charts, bewitching them to the point they became utterly subservient.
However, for those with a strong will and very rational mindset, even if they took a liking to Feng Sanniang, they would at most help her in matters that did not contravene their principles, but would not be wholly obedient to her.
Feng Sanniang had already concluded from the previous two encounters that Li Fei was the latter type of person; she didn’t expect to be able to control him with “Charming Heart,” she simply hoped to increase her importance in Li Fei’s heart.
But this time, she had prepared in advance to maximize the effect of “Charming Heart,” even proactively making the first move.
Yet, it appeared that Li Fei was completely unmoved!
“Could it be he prefers men?” Feng Sanniang thought to herself, feeling rather frustrated.
“Since Young Master Qing’s time is precious, let me get straight to the point,” said Feng Sanniang, no longer beating around the bush. “Although we agreed on a cooperation, it was you, Young Master Qing, who exerted great effort in taking down the ‘Beast King.’ The Human Face Villa and its resources are all yours; I have no objections.”
The two had previously talked about cooperating. Li Fei’s Exotic Beast Breeding Farm was preserved, thanks to Feng Sanniang introducing him to Luo Yifu from the provincial town, using her connections to help Li Fei secure the deal.
The information regarding the Chen Family was also provided by Feng Sanniang, which allowed Li Fei to carry out a “precision strike,” successfully bringing down the Chen Family and taking control of the essential raw material supply base of Chen Family Village.
If one were to speak of it, Li Fei’s chance to kill Yu Longqing originated from Feng Sanniang helping him secure the deal, which brought in Exotic Beast Food from outside, luring Yu Longqing into a trap and ambush.
So if one were to tally contributions, Feng Sanniang definitely played a part in the downfall of Yu Longqing.
Plus, taking into account the Exotic Beast Breeding Farm and matters concerning the Chen Family, if Feng Sanniang were to ask Li Fei for benefits, he was actually prepared to give them.
But Feng Sanniang said she did not want any share of the benefits from Human Face Villa; she would give them all to Li Fei.
“San Niang can now speak the ‘but,'” said Li Fei calmly.
With a charming smile, Feng Sanniang said, “Young Master Qing, the reason why the Poison King and Gun King just watched you take over Human Face Mountain Village without taking a bite of such a big cake, is that it’s their way of showing weakness. It’s an apology for their previous attempt to assassinate you.”
Li Fei sneered, “An apology? Then this apology is a bit light.”
After the first attempt at assassinating Li Fei, ‘Gambling King’ Duanmu Hongjie no longer made a move and even offered a high ransom as a sign of conceding.
The ‘Shadow King’ had publicly stated that from then on, he would no longer accept commissions to assassinate the Green-faced Ghost, and the Shadow Building was, after all, an assassination organization. It was only natural for him to take money in exchange for commissions, with no debts of gratitude or resentments involved.
Hence, Li Fei had no intentions of pursuing these two for now.
But the ‘Poison King’ and ‘Gun King’ sent people to assassinate Li Fei a second time.
They had given up Human Face Mountain Village, thinking they had made sufficient apology and saved face for Li Fei.
But for Li Fei, this matter was far from over!
However, although he now had the combat power to directly kill the Poison King and the Gun King, he couldn’t just storm into their estates and do the deed.
The ‘Seven Kings’ had stood tall in the World of Datong Prefecture for years, not only by brute force but also by their respective powers and influences, which were crucial.
Both the Poison King and the Gun King had public identities as socialites, as upper-class individuals in Datong Prefecture, with many officials willing to speak up for them.
Their estates were patrolled 24 hours a day by Inspectors from the Inspection General Bureau, with martial masters from Zhi Ge General Hospital maintaining public order.
If Li Fei truly stormed in, he would instantly be wanted by the Government of Datong Prefecture again, and this time, the wanted status definitely couldn’t be easily canceled!
Furthermore, his properties in Datong Prefecture City would surely be suppressed by the Government.
So, unless it came to the final step where both sides were completely irreconcilable, Li Fei would need to carefully plan his revenge if he wanted to settle the score.
Feng Sanniang understood Li Fei’s unspoken suggestion and wasn’t surprised.
She smiled and said, “At least Poison King and Gun King think they’ve conceded enough. They certainly won’t back down from here. There are more than Human Face Villa left by Yu Longqing in the territory of Datong Prefecture—there are three large Exotic Beast Food Plantations and more than a dozen raw material production sites. These will definitely be contended for by Poison King and Gun King.”
“What’s even more important is that with the death of Yu Longqing, the market for Exotic Beast Food in Datong Prefecture is where the biggest profit lies!”
Feng Sanniang looked at Li Fei, “Young Master Qing, it will be difficult for you to take over this market by yourself.”
Li Fei met her gaze, “So what you’re saying, San Niang, is that you want to continue to join forces with me?”
“Exactly. After our success, I want half of the market for Exotic Beast Food in Datong Prefecture.”
Feng Sanniang stated the terms, one word at a time.
This was why she had invited Li Fei tonight.
She could have reached for the benefits of Human Face Villa, but she did not.
Because she wanted more!
“San Niang has quite an appetite,” Li Fei laughed.
Feng Sanniang also laughed, “I, a weak woman, don’t actually have a big appetite. But there are too many people following me who rely on me for food; I have to eat a bit more.”
“Half is impossible,” Li Fei flatly refused.
The two looked at each other in the room.
Feng Sanniang’s smile gradually faded, leaving a half-smile on her face as she gazed at Li Fei:
“Young Master Qing, have you considered that if I were to join forces with Poison King and Gun King, in the end, you might not even be able to grab half of the market?”
A smile also emerged in Li Fei’s eyes:
“Previously, Yu Longqing also thought that by joining forces with the Poison King and the Gun King, he could surely beat me. But now, he has only just had his seventh-day funeral service. San Niang, do give it a thought.”
In the room, the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Suddenly, Feng Sanniang covered her mouth and laughed, lightening the mood once again:
“Indeed, Young Master Qing is right. How could I dare to oppose Young Master Qing? How much do you plan to give me?”
“Thirty percent,” Li Fei stated a figure.
Upon hearing this, Feng Sanniang’s expression remained unchanged:
“If I were to offer a condition in exchange, I wonder if Young Master Qing would be willing to step back?”
“Oh?” Li Fei looked at her, “What condition?”
“The true killer behind the death of Zhang Zongyang.”
Feng Sanniang looked into Li Fei’s eyes, saying each word deliberately.
