Chapter 132: Chapter 131 Stubborn Stone

Chapter 132 -131 Stubborn Stone

You Guang Ji, an estate market that resembles a small town, is not the territory of the Fluorescent Fungi Family.

In fact, it used to be just a barren land.

But with the opening of the Mountain River Trade Route, people began to gather here. The Fluorescent Fungi Family invested heavily to build You Guang Ji as a supply and transfer station for the trade route.

One could say,

Except for the land, which belongs to the royal family, everything else on it is owned by the Fluorescent Fungi Family, essentially making it an exclave of the family.

After entering You Guang Ji, the Knight Regiment dispersed. Knights in groups of three or five flooded into taverns or brothels in search of pleasure—the less affluent knights had already solved their needs in Tao Ci Di Ku, as expenses in You Guang Ji were somewhat high.

Of course, there were also those with more refined tastes, such as several lords and barons, who had purchased small courtyards here long ago and kept one or two mistresses.

Having been separated for almost half a year, their reunion was as passionate as if they were newlyweds.

Big brother Roland did likewise.

Accompanied by Russell, he knocked on the door of a small courtyard. As the old servant opened the door, a young woman dashed over, throwing herself into Roland’s arms, followed by a long, breathless kiss.

Not until their lips turned almost black did the two part.

The young woman clung to Roland like a koala, while Roland’s hand mischievously slid under the woman’s skirt.

After a brief exploration, he nodded toward Russell, who was bored to the point of rolling his eyes, and said to the woman in his arms, “Bar, this is my brother Russell. What do you think? He’s quite handsome, isn’t he? Not much worse than me.”

“Ah, you’re Russell? I’ve often heard Roland talk about you,” the young woman, Bar, covered her mouth and laughed, “You two brothers are both so imposing, one robust, the other handsome. Truly worthy of the Fluorescent Fungi Family bloodline.”

“You flatter me,” Russell narrowed his eyes and replied indifferently, “I’ve still got a long way to go compared to my elder brother.”

His talents were indeed far inferior to Roland’s, but of course, Roland’s looks were also far inferior to his.

So, Bar’s assessment hit the mark: Roland with robust talent, Russell with a handsome appearance.

After a pause, Russell added, “Big brother, if you and Ms. Bar are busy, I’ll go for a stroll in the market.”

“What’s there to see in the market? It’s far inferior to Yuanguang Town,” Roland immediately pulled Russell into the courtyard, “Stay here tonight. I’ll have Bar invite a few of her sisters over for a drink later.”

“Is that really necessary?” Russell was someone who valued personal integrity.

“Stay. It’s rare for you to come to You Guang Ji, and I must look after you,” Roland said firmly.

“I could go to our father’s place.”

Upon hearing this, Roland couldn’t help but roll his eyes, “There’s no difference between father’s side and my side, just listen to me.”

Russell opened his mouth.

Understanding the implication in Roland’s words, he wanted to express his surprise, but then thought it might not be so surprising after all—considering even Roland, who needed to maintain a good reputation for a potential marriage alliance, dared to openly keep a mistress.

Perhaps such matters had already become the norm.

“No, thank you,” Russell eventually shook his head, “I brought the Red-eyed Rat King along, and I’ll just wander around the market, see the sights. I’ll head over to the Knight Regiment’s campsite to spend the night later. You and Ms. Bar, enjoy yourselves to the fullest.”

After speaking, he patted the Red-eyed Rat King by his feet and turned to leave.

The young woman Bar, curious, poked her head out to look: “Your brother just left like that, should I still call my sisters over?”

“Forget it, the kid is still playing the virtuous card,” Roland’s expression soured slightly, but then he quickly refocused on Bar’s shapely rear and chuckled, “Even better that he left, come on darling, let’s…”

He scooped up the young woman Bar, and amidst her exclamations, rushed into the room.

The old servant, hunched over, helplessly shook his head and closed the courtyard door.

…

Russell walked down the streets of You Guang Ji with the Red-eyed Rat King by his side.

To this creature comparable to a hunting dog, with its large red eyes, many passersby cast curious glances, but it was only a momentary curiosity.

Fantasy Beasts are indeed rare, but not unheard of.

Especially in a trading hub like You Guang Ji, it’s common to see Phantom Beast Knights escorting caravans on the Mountain River Trade Route. The knights’ Fantasy Beasts come in all shapes and sizes, a rat-shaped Fantasy Beast isn’t unusual, let alone ones that resemble insects.

“Roasted rat meat for sale, roasted rat meat for sale, authentic Furious Wind City roasted rat meat!”

“Five Red hounds, top-quality Five Red hound puppies, look at these puppies’ noses, ears, throats, paws, and the tips of their tails, all covered in red hair!”

“Potato pies here, potato pies here, tasty and filling potato pies here!”

“Hey there, handsome knight, come over and have some fun~”

“Essential for travelling the snowfield, lamb wool coats, end of warm season tearful clearance sale, don’t miss out if you’re passing by!”

Though You Guang Ji wasn’t as large as Yuanguang Town, it was no less lively. Shops and stalls lined the streets, each hawking their wares, and even heavily made-up women stood at street corners, constantly beckoning to passersby.

As they passed by a roasted meat shop, the Red-eyed Rat King drooled with desire.

Seeing this, Russell bought a few greasy strips of roast meat and fed them to the Red-eyed Rat King.

“Sir, is this your contracted Fantasy Beast?” the shop owner asked curiously as he looked at the Red-eyed Rat King.

“Yes,” replied Russell.

“It really is… quite a majestic rat!”

The shop owner thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a better line, simply because the Red-eyed Rat King’s image was too rough.

Rats, as creatures, don’t really go well with positive adjectives.

Of course, this was also why Russell only considered the Red-eyed Rat King as an option for a contracted Fantasy Beast—the bloodthirsty magic of the Red-eyed Rat King was indeed strong, but it couldn’t match Russell’s handsome and suave appearance.

Russell hoped his contracted Fantasy Beast would be both powerful and stylish.

Like Mr. Luo Man’s Silver Winged Wind Fox, Uncle Rosen’s Golden Light Leopard, or Knight Commander Kendall’s Aurora Falcon.

All of them were Fantasy Beasts that were both good-looking and strong.

After feeding the Red-eyed Rat King, Russell left the roasted meat shop and continued his stroll.

Along the way, he encountered knights from the Knight Regiment who were out shopping, but they only greeted him with a “Mr. Russell.” These knights were not his subordinates; only superficial politeness was needed, not genuine respect.

Unknowingly, Russell found himself in front of a stonemason shop.

There was a large array of stone carvings displayed outside the shop, ranging from tables and stools to rollers, steles, and pillars, all available for purchase.

There was even a carved Great Dragon, wings spread as if ready to take flight.

Russell was not interested in these and was about to bypass them when suddenly, his palm felt hot as if scorched.

He looked at his hand and saw the “M” mark representing the Little Dream Dragon fiercely burning.

“Could this be… the Little Dream Dragon sending me a message?” Russell was puzzled; he couldn’t discern the message through the mark since he and the Little Dream Dragon hadn’t contracted and couldn’t establish a telepathic connection.

As he watched the mark on his palm, he took a step forward, but the “M” mark became even hotter.

When he stepped back, the “M” mark cooled down slightly.

In that moment, Russell understood, “Ice Cream, you’ve found something and want to warn me, right?”

He lifted his head to look at the stonemason shop before him; the shop’s name read “Tenacious Stone,” clearly the name of the premises.
