Chapter 744: People fear fame, pigs fear getting fat

As soon as the words 'Xiao Feng' and '7th-rank mount' came out, the crowd exploded.

Many people who hadn't been paying attention here heard the commotion and ran over.

"Where? Where? Let me look, let me look!"

"Holy crap! A player with over a billion HP—this is fucking unscientific!"

"I think this Great White Crane is just average, even though it has a lot of HP, but I bet it's not as fast as my flying dragon when it takes off."

Some players also shouted, asking the great god for protection and such.

In just half a minute, Xiao Feng received over 800 friend requests.

He uniformly refused them and said to the players, "You should go about your business; I'm just passing by to rest my feet, so please don't pay too much attention."

Saying that, he was about to take Da Bai into the War Tavern.

He didn't expect this group of players to chase after him!

"Don't go, great god! Add me as a friend! Or we could spar a bit so I can see your strength!"

"Stop! Are you cheating and afraid we'll recognize you? Don't run! Everyone, follow him!"

"Going into the tavern won't help! We'll follow you in and keep adding you as friends!"

This group of players with various heights and builds was like foreigners encountering a panda, excited to the point of near madness.

Some even wanted to come close and touch Xiao Feng!

Well… touching the second-ranked great god in the whole universe could indeed become a topic of conversation!

The tavern's waiter, seeing a sudden influx of players, dazedly said, "What… what's happening?"

Xiao Feng looked back and saw a crowd behind him, about to push his mount away, and he was speechless: "What are you doing? Do you want to eat with me?"

"Ah, can we? Won't that be moving too fast?" the surrounding players exclaimed happily.

"Well…"

Xiao Feng was left completely speechless.

He was considering whether to spend a lot of money to buy out the tavern and have the owner kick these people out.

But then he suddenly heard Da Bai start cursing at people!

Da Bai stretched out his neck and shouted angrily, "What's the noise? Get lost, all of you! I rarely get to go out drinking and eating meat with my brothers, and before I could even enjoy the meal, you bunch of ugly, stupid, annoying humans ruined my mood! Get out now, or I'll slap you all to death with one wing!"

I thought the players who got scolded would have the sense to leave.

But I didn't expect them to get even more excited!

"Wow! Great scolding, great scolding! This big bird is so smart, it's practically like a real person acting!"

"Don't stop, Great White Crane, keep scolding, I love"

"listen!"

"How cute the Great White Crane is—can I pet you?"

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched, and he went completely numb.

"Holy crap, you guys are so lowly—do you really want me to beat you up?" Da Bai stretched out his neck and shouted, his wings slightly spread, taking on a fighting stance.

A half-beast player shouted loudly, "Come on, beat me!!"

Da Bai: ……

As a 7th-rank mount, although it's only level 70, its attribute growth rate is extremely high—in fact, it can already fight ordinary demigod players.

But without Xiao Feng's command, the mount cannot autonomously unleash a red attack on players, so it can only shout. If it really wanted to attack, the system would forcibly recall the mount space, making any effective attack impossible.

But these people really deserve a beating!!

He shouted at Xiao Feng, "Brother, let me beat them!"

Xiao Feng rubbed his forehead, glanced at the tavern owner, and said, "Give me some food and drink; I'll take it to go."

This tavern is no place to stay; he didn't want to slaughter all those players for no reason.

Can't afford to provoke them; we can still hide!

The tavern owner is a lower god–level NPC. Seeing Xiao Feng's virtual level so high, he quickly nodded and bowed, saying, "All right, all right, Upper God, please wait a moment; I'll immediately bring you the finest wine and dishes!" Then he instructed someone to handle it.

The players clamored nonstop, annoying Xiao Feng to no end, so he simply put up an opaque divine power barrier, isolating and soundproofing it to gain some peace.

Da Bai, covered by it, complained there, "The humans in this world are really annoying! If only I weren't weak now, with my old temper I'd have slaughtered the whole city for you!"

Xiao Feng helplessly said, "There's nothing to be done—people fear fame, pigs fear getting fat. Doing this well, I'm also troubled."

Da Bai looked at him with a look of contempt.

I've seen people who like to show off, but never someone who loves to show off this much!

And this person happens to be its owner—I can't kill him!

It's really annoying!

After a few minutes, the tavern owner had already prepared the food and drink for him.

Xiao Feng withdrew the barrier.

"Upper God, three barrels of Old War God Wine, more than ten dishes of delicacies—altogether that's 5000 god stones." The tavern owner smiled broadly.

5000 god stones is a considerable expense for residents of the Divine Realm, and for low-level players it's practically a fortune!

Xiao Feng took out a bag of god stones, paid, picked up the wine and meat he'd bought, and prepared to leave.

But the entrance was blocked by many players, still noisy there, and yet

it was hard to get out.

Seeing the tavern door was tall, Xiao Feng simply said, "Da Bai, let's just fly out—find a quiet place!"

"All right!" Da Bai, who had long been impatient to leave, agreed at once, hoisted Xiao Feng onto his back, gave a push with his slender crane legs, took off indoors, and whooshed out the door.

"Wow! What strength—this wing could knock my head off in one blow!"

"Really cool—this mount is indeed flashy, no wonder it's 7th-rank!"

Damn it! He just ran off like that, and we didn't even get to spar! He must be afraid of my power!

Don't let him get away, chase him!

The players were still there, chattering away.

Xiao Feng had already ridden an immortal crane away from the crowd, seeking a secluded spot.

What annoyed him was that some players were still following him on flying mounts!

Look at that posture—they clearly won't give up unless they're beaten to death!

Xiao Feng was getting a little angry.

Considering he was the number one expert of the Yuan Su Shen Yu, he was actually being forced by a bunch of ordinary players to the point where he couldn't even sit down for a meal, having to run around outside.

If this got out, wouldn't it make people laugh their heads off?

If that were all, it would be fine, but someone actually wants to keep tailing him!

If this can be tolerated, what cannot be?

"Let's go, we're heading to the Palace City!" Xiao Feng patted Da Bai's neck, signaling a turn.

Not wanting to openly kill ordinary players, he could only choose a place others couldn't go.

In the Shen Jie, many places are off-limits to ordinary players; the palace of the God Kingdom Monarch is a prime example.

He rode the crane straight toward the Palace City, with a group of players trailing behind on various flying mounts, numbering at least one hundred eighty.

As he was about to enter the Palace City, the palace guards flew out to block him.

"Halt! This is the palace where the God of War resides; no miscellaneous persons may enter, violators will be arrested!" the soldier shouted clearly.

"Let him in."

Just as the soldier's voice fell, the voice of the Female War God Mi rang out immediately after.

She noticed Xiao Feng approaching her, and also noticed the group of players behind him, realizing the master was trying to shake off trouble, so without waiting for Xiao Feng to speak, she actively let them pass.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Please enter, Upper God!" The soldier immediately stepped aside, clearing the path.

Xiao Feng said nothing more, riding the crane inside.

"Drive the others away." Mi's voice sounded again.

Upon hearing that, the soldier again loudly accepted the order, then, weapon in hand, flew toward the group of players chasing Xiao Feng.
