Chapter 041: Picking a Fight

At that moment, a young man in white suddenly approached the stall, waving a folding fan in his hand, followed by a group of imposing guards. The young man wore a rather arrogant expression, with his nose in the air, looking down on everyone.

Especially the scantily clad woman beside him, whose nearly transparent clothes only covered the most important parts, revealing her fair and tempting skin. She constantly flirted with the young man in white, breathing hot breaths onto his face.

"You want it?" The young man in white didn't even glance at the man in black, directly pointing at the small beast in Yang Tian's hand, and slapped the scantily clad woman's buttocks, saying with a smile.

"Young master, you're so bad. I want it," the scantily clad woman rubbed against the young man in white, pressing her full breasts against his chest, her eyes seductive as she looked at him, pouting.

A surge of heat swept through his heart. The young man in white cast a lecherous glance at the scantily clad woman, and without any scruples, reached into her bodice and groped her roughly.

The woman even cooperated with a few moans. The surrounding crowd feasted their eyes on the scene, wishing they could take the woman right there.

"Kid, stop right there. Did I say you could leave?" When he saw the man in black turn to leave, the young man in white was momentarily stunned, then his face slowly turned cold, a shadow passing through his eyes, and he shouted.

As his voice fell, a group of fierce-looking guards surged forward, directly surrounding Yang Tian, their cold gazes fixed on him.

"Tsk, isn't that Huang Hai? Who's that little slut beside him?" A man nearby, his hot gaze sweeping over the scantily clad woman, asked the person next to him.

"Who knows? Probably picked up somewhere. That man in black is in for trouble," the person beside him shook his head slightly.

"No kidding. The youngest son of the Huang family's head. That man in black is in deep trouble. The Huang family is a major power, not an ordinary force in Martial Arts City."

The onlookers pointed and whispered, their eyes filled with schadenfreude. Huang Hai was usually domineering and extremely lecherous, often bullying locals, but due to the Huang family's influence, no one dared to provoke him.

"What is it?" Clenching his fist, Yang Tian turned back, his gaze sweeping over Huang Hai, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, then he said calmly.

"What is it? Didn't the beauty beside me just tell you? Give me that little beast of yours, and I'll buy it with a bloodstone!" Huang Hai stared at Yang Tian with a dark gaze, roughly kneading the woman in his arms, murderous intent in his eyes.

"Sorry, I didn't hear you. Could you say it again?" Yang Tian scratched his head, suddenly spreading his hands, speaking in a helpless tone.

Looking at Yang Tian's innocent expression, the whole scene fell silent. Some people even widened their eyes.

"Haha, he wants me to say it again? He wants me to say it again?" After a moment of silence, Huang Hai suddenly burst into laughter with the people beside him, but the gloom in his eyes grew thicker.

"Tsk, this kid's got some nerve, actually daring to mock Huang Hai. He's asking for death."

"Just wait for the show. Look at his fearless expression; that man in black must have some backing." Two nearby men whispered to each other, looking like they were ready for a good show.

"Awu awu." Little White suddenly broke free from Yang Tian's hand, jumped onto his shoulder, and bared its teeth at Huang Hai. Its cute appearance caught the attention of the nearby girls.

"Young master, I want it, I want it," the scantily clad woman said, her eyes lighting up at the little beast's human-like behavior, shaking Huang Hai's arm and pouting.

"Shut up!" Veins bulging on his face, Huang Hai suddenly squeezed her breast roughly.

"This little beast seems quite intelligent. Could it be a spirit beast?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but say, many eyes flickering with interest.

"It must be a spirit beast." Many showed greed in their eyes. Spirit beasts were rare in Martial Arts City and usually sold for astronomical prices at auctions.

"Bastard! Seize him and kill that beast!" Seeing Little White's disdainful expression, Huang Hai's face turned ugly, and he suddenly shouted coldly, a hint of murderous intent seeping out.

Hearing this, the guards hesitated, but seeing Huang Hai's grim face, they gritted their teeth and stepped forward.

"You want to fight?" Looking at the guards whose aura was flaring, Yang Tian suddenly sneered, crossing his arms without any sign of fear.

"You..." The guards' expressions changed, and they immediately withdrew their aura. It was common knowledge that fighting was forbidden in Martial Arts City, especially for a local power like the Huang family, as the family head often reminded them.

Once, a Tongxuan realm expert encountered an enemy here. The moment he made a move, a palm suddenly descended from the void, directly smashing that Tongxuan martial artist into a meat patty.

Martial Arts City was not only a gathering place for geniuses but also home to terrifyingly powerful forces. It was not a place where any random power could run wild, especially since the Huang family was not among the top tier in the Eastern Continent.

With a dark gaze fixed on Yang Tian, Huang Hai suddenly burst into laughter. He strode quickly to Yang Tian, patted his shoulder, and sneered, "You've got guts. Just don't leave the city gates!"

"Whether I leave the city or not is none of your business, is it? What an idiot." Yang Tian scratched his head and said slowly, then walked away, leaving Huang Hai with a face full of venom.

"Damn it!" Roughly kneading the woman in his arms, red marks appeared on her fair skin. The scantily clad woman dared not make a sound, gritting her teeth and enduring, tears in her eyes that were pitiful to see.

"Find out who he is! I'll kill him, kill him!" Huang Hai's face twisted with rage, his roar echoing, and the surrounding guards immediately dispersed.

Along the way, Yang Tian had no interest in wandering around. He stuffed Little White into his black robe and headed back to the courtyard. On the way back, Yang Tian occasionally glanced behind him, his murderous intent growing sharper.

Not far behind Yang Tian, a guard captain had been following him. When he saw Yang Tian enter a courtyard, he suddenly stopped.

At the same time, his gloomy expression slowly froze, replaced by endless panic. Looking at the plaque above the courtyard Yang Tian had entered, his legs trembled.

"Captain, what do we do?" A guard tugged at his sleeve, panicking, his voice trembling. Those who could live here were undoubtedly of high status.

"Hell if I know! Get lost!" The guard captain kicked the guard away, fear flashing in his eyes, and without hesitation, rushed back to the Huang family.

In the room, Yang Tian closed the door and placed Little White on the table.

"What a troublemaker. First day here and you've already offended a power," Yang Tian tapped Little White's head and scolded with a smile.

"Awu." Little White whimpered, drooping its head, looking at Yang Tian pitifully, a drop of drool hanging from its mouth, its craving obvious.

"From now on, stay hidden in my clothes. If you're greedy again, no food," Yang Tian shook his head helplessly and tossed a inner core to Little White.

Watching Little White tear into it, Yang Tian sighed, walked slowly to the window, and gazed at the flowers and plants outside the courtyard, murmuring, "Huang family, I hope you don't provoke me at Martial Arts Mountain."

...

In the Huang family courtyard, the young master's earlier rage had dissipated. Now, with a panicked expression, he stared at the two old men in front of him, constantly begging for mercy.

"Idiot! Who did you provoke? Those who live in the Heavenly Word rooms are all from top forces in the Eastern Continent." One of the old men, with a gloomy face, suddenly shouted.

The young master trembled in fear, falling to his knees with a thud, and without daring to hide anything, confessed everything that happened during the day.

"Worthless! How did I end up with a son like you? All for a maid..." The gloomy old man raised his hand as if to strike, and the young master quickly kowtowed, fear flashing in his eyes.

"Get out!"

Seeing the young master, who was nearly soiling himself, the gloomy old man was furious, his fists crackling as he clenched them.

"Big brother, don't be angry. Although that man in black lives in the Heavenly Word room, it's impossible for him to be from a major force," the other old man in black said calmly.

"Whether he is or not, he's definitely connected to those forces," the gloomy old man sighed and said slowly.

"Since he's connected, we can't let him live. Martial Arts City is our Huang family's territory. Besides, our family is an external disciple of the Yellow Dragon Valley," the old man in black said, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

"You mean... Martial Arts Mountain!" the gloomy old man gritted his teeth.

After a long silence, the gloomy old man's expression shifted. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Our Huang family has stood for thousands of years. All threats must be nipped in the bud."
