Chapter 923

The capital, bustling streets.

Watching Shangguan Haitang return to the inn covered in cold sweat, Guihai Yidao frowned and asked, "What happened to you?"

"I've seen a ghost!"

Wiping away her sweat, Shangguan Haitang immediately turned her head and said, "The Blood-Slaughtering Heavenly Demon is downstairs acting as a beggar!"

"Huh?"

Staring at Shangguan Haitang in shock, Guihai Yidao immediately froze in place and said, "He is downstairs?"

"Ah, he's just squatting on the street!"

Speaking to Guihai Yidao, Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but swallow hard, as if she couldn't believe what she had just seen.

"How could he be in this place? This is bad, we must notify Foster Father as soon as possible!"

Speaking with a serious expression, Guihai Yidao was also quite frightened.

During their first encounter, he was almost crippled, and the second time was even more like snatching food from a tiger's mouth when he saved Shangguan Haitang from the opponent's hands; if it weren't for the fact that they threw away their silver notes quickly, they would have likely finished their seventh-day funeral rites long ago!

Now that the opponent has appeared in the capital and is even by Princess Yunluo's side, how could Guihai Yidao not panic?

After all, even if they joined forces, they couldn't beat him!

"No need to notify Foster Father. He is now a man of the Eastern Depot! He is that newly appointed Thousand-Household of Punishment mentioned in the intelligence, Zhang Cheng!"

Speaking to Guihai Yidao beside her, Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but knit her brows.

Because this man becoming a lackey by Cao Zhengchun's side has truly brought immense pressure to the Protecting Dragon Villa!

"Thousand-Household of Punishment?"

Speaking in disbelief, Guihai Yidao's brows furrowed even tighter.

Yet, just as the two were discussing upstairs, Zhang Cheng was squatting on the roadside with Tang Bohu, eating the candied hawthorn in his hand.

Looking at the snow leopard, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but freeze in place, then he raised his sandbag-sized fist and landed two heavy blows.

Happily eating the candied hawthorn, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

Watching Zhang Cheng's appearance, Tang Bohu asked, "How long are we going to squat here?"

"Until Princess Yunluo returns to the palace!"

Speaking to Tang Bohu, Zhang Cheng hurriedly explained.

"You are, after all, a Thousand-Household of Punishment for the Eastern Depot; why are you doing this kind of thing? Isn't it a bit beneath your status?"

Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, Tang Bohu didn't understand why he had to come to protect Princess Yunluo.

"Compared to torturing prisoners in the Eastern Depot's imperial prison, I prefer staying under the sun; after all, there are candied hawthorns to eat!"

Looking at Tang Bohu beside him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

And thinking of the Eastern Depot's imperial prison, Tang Bohu also broke out in a cold sweat.

Because for that place, no one who goes in ever says anything but good things, since no one has ever come out.

If you go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard's celestial prison, you are mostly an official or minister who has committed an offense.

However, as long as the Emperor nods, you still have a chance to walk out in this lifetime.

But once you enter the Eastern Depot's imperial prison, don't even think about leaving a bad review, because you won't have the chance to come out.

This is just like a parachute pack; everyone who has used it says it's good, a one-hundred-percent positive review, because you don't have time to write a bad one!

As for the Western Depot, they won't imprison you at all; they will execute you first and report it later.

Yu Huatian: What the Eastern Depot dares not do, the Western Depot does; what the Eastern Depot dares not manage, the Western Depot manages; execute first, report later, with imperial authority!

Zhang Cheng: See that? This is the Western Depot, the craziest of the crazy!

But just as the candied hawthorn was about to be finished, a noisy sound came from afar.

Watching the chaos in the casino, Zhang Cheng immediately stood up, holding a copper coin in his hand.

Rushing out quickly, Princess Yunluo was grabbing her maid, Xiaonu, in a panic.

"Dare to come to my casino to cause trouble? I think you are looking for death!"

Looking at Princess Yunluo and Xiaonu before him, a burly man couldn't help but roar angrily.

Yet, just as his sandbag-sized fist came crashing down, Zhang Cheng flicked his copper coin out with a backhand motion.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the burly man immediately clutched his wrist in pain.

Seeing that the punch didn't land on her, Princess Yunluo immediately turned and ran.

And just at this moment, more people rushed out.

Watching this scene, Zhang Cheng was just about to step forward when he saw a man shining with golden light appear.

Looking at the little golden man in the distance, Tang Bohu couldn't help but say in surprise, "A little golden man?"

"That damn thing is the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art! You have no experience!"

Complaining to Tang Bohu, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but explain.

"Wow! Is that so!"

Staring at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Tang Bohu then said excitedly, "Then he must be very valuable, right?"

"That's just the effect of external training; don't think too much about it!"

Looking at Tang Bohu beside him, Zhang Cheng spread his hands with annoyance.

And just after Cheng Shifei appeared, Princess Yunluo immediately said excitedly, "Master, you're here!"

"Hmm!"

Looking at Princess Yunluo indifferently, Cheng Shifei then used a few punches and kicks to send the people in the casino scurrying away with their heads in their hands.

Watching Cheng Shifei, Tang Bohu narrowed his eyes and said, "This person's martial arts are not simple! His internal energy is actually this profound..."

"Before Gu Santong died, he accepted his lifelong cultivation; what do you think?"

Looking at Tang Bohu beside him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but tease.

"The Invincible Urchin Gu Santong? This kid is quite lucky!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Tang Bohu was also full of surprise.

Back then, experts from the six major sects besieged Gu Santong, but he killed them until the rivers ran red; this was a secret rumor from back then!

But never did he expect that such a person would actually leave his lifelong cultivation to a street hooligan.

However, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but want to laugh when looking at Cheng Shifei, because all of this was truly destined by fate!

After all, Gu Santong was the father Cheng Shifei had yet to meet.

In his life, Zhu Wushi, even if his martial arts were peerless, was nothing more than a piece of trash sitting at the same table as Yao Bin, Jiang Haokun, and the others!

Zhu Wushi: What the hell?

Zhang Cheng: He's anxious!

Signaling Princess Yunluo to leave, Cheng Shifei turned around and changed back to his original appearance.

Calculating the time, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes and say, "Can he only maintain it for about three minutes? It seems he hasn't fully mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art yet!"

As one of the most difficult supreme arts of Shaolin, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art definitely belongs to the kind that is indestructible upon seeing the divine.

But it's a pity that Cheng Shifei hasn't fully mastered the essentials of it.

However, Zhang Cheng didn't covet the other's martial arts, because if he were to turn into a little golden man and brawl with others, he would rather believe in D+.

Tiga: Do you believe in light?

Zhang Cheng: It's D+!

On the distant street, a team of guards quickly followed Princess Yunluo.

Watching this scene, Zhang Cheng turned and left, saying, "Let's go, my mission is complete!"

"Where are we going now?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Tang Bohu couldn't help but ask.

"To the brothel to listen to music!"

Humming a little tune, Zhang Cheng sang Huangmei opera while keeping the beat.

And seeing Zhang Cheng say this, Tang Bohu also laughed excitedly and said, "Good, good, listening to music in the brothel, how elegant!"

Watching Zhang Cheng and Tang Bohu leave, Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "He seems to be protecting Princess Yunluo in secret!"

"It should be Cao Zhengchun's order, otherwise how could this person come to protect the Princess!"

Speaking to Shangguan Haitang, Guihai Yidao explained.

"Two guests, who is paying?"

Coming to Shangguan Haitang and Guihai Yidao's side, the waiter asked.

"I'll do it!"

Just as she intended to take out money, Shangguan Haitang froze, because all her silver had been "borrowed" by Zhang Cheng.

Watching Shangguan Haitang's appearance, Guihai Yidao froze in place and said, "You have no money?"

"I had it borrowed, what about you!"

Looking at Guihai Yidao, Shangguan Haitang was surprised.

"Do you think I look like someone who carries money when going out?"

Looking at Shangguan Haitang with an embarrassed face, Guihai Yidao couldn't help but explain.

In the silence, the waiter turned around and shouted, "Shopkeeper, someone is eating without paying!"
