"My name is Zhang Dabao, sir."

When I was a child, a fortune teller said that I was a martial arts prodigy.

However, due to their special physical condition, it is not easily detected.

He also said that he would meet a benefactor when he turned thirty, who would teach him unparalleled martial arts.

"At that time, I will surely soar to the heavens!"

Zhang Dabao looked at Li Fan, his eyes full of anticipation.

Although the charlatan who said those words had been crippled, Zhang Dabao still believed it without a doubt.

As the old saying goes, fortunes change every thirty years.

Now that he is exactly thirty years old, a chivalrous hero comes to his door asking for directions.

What kind of coincidence could there be in this world?

As for why Li Fan is considered a great hero, that's even simpler.

He would give three taels of silver just for asking for directions, even though he was dressed in rags.

This kind of person looks like a highly accomplished master who has been out of the public eye for a long time.

Your rise to prominence begins today.

Zhang Dabao was full of confidence.

"Speaking of secret manuals, I actually have one."

However, to cultivate, one needs to sacrifice three ounces of flesh.

Li Fan looked at Zhang Dabao and said.

"Senior, let alone three ounces of meat, what difference would it make if it were three pounds!"

Zhang Dabao's eyes lit up as he looked at Li Fan.

"The law must not be passed on to six ears, listen carefully!"

Li Fan compressed his voice with his true energy and then transmitted it into the ear.

Holy crap!

That's fucking amazing!

To transmit one's voice into the ear—what a powerful being!

If I could learn all his skills, wouldn't I be able to conquer this county town at will?

"To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself!"

But Li Fan's first words stunned Zhang Dabao.

He didn't hear a word they said after that.

Little Red in the South Gate Alley, Dewdrops at the North City Brothel...

He can't let go of any of them!

"Senior, is it alright if I don't castrate myself?"

Zhang Dabao asked with a mournful face.

"Dabao, don't worry."

This martial art, once cultivated to its highest level, will surely lead to the attainment of a tenth-grade Dharma Image.

By then, the extra weight will easily grow back.

Perhaps sensing Zhang Dabao's worries, Li Fan kindly comforted him, "Of course, if you can't bring yourself to do it, you don't have to castrate yourself. You can find a clinic in the city to help you."

After a bowl of Mafeisan (a traditional Chinese medicine for relieving numbness), all worries will be easily swept away!

Glug!

Zhang Dabao swallowed hard, then shook his head firmly.

"Forget it, that old liar never tells the truth."

If one fails to cultivate to the tenth rank of Dharma Image, then life will be utterly devoid of joy!

"How can you be so young and indulge in pleasure?"

Let me help you!"

"No!"

Zhang Dabao's voice cracked.

Pedestrians on the street cast surprised glances at them.

Some even discuss it directly.

"That idiot, how can he scream so seductively!"

"Could it be that he's in heat?"

"In heat? Is he some kind of 'Rabbit God'?"

"That's possible!"

"Holy crap, isn't that Zhang Dabao from Eighth Alley?"

"Are you talking about that bachelor who's thirty and still unmarried?"

"That's right! Out of all eighteen alleys nearby, he's the only one who hasn't found a wife."

"No wonder! I was wondering why he couldn't find a wife, even though his family wasn't starving. Turns out he's a philanderer!"

......

We're doomed!

A lifetime of illustrious reputation, ruined in an instant.

This is damn complicated; I can't explain myself now.

Zhang Dabao covered his face and ran away into the distance.

"Senior, you've really put me in a difficult position!"

My reputation, Zhang Dabao's reputation, is completely ruined.

"You can forget about getting a wife in the future!"

Zhang Dabao looked at Li Fan with a sense of despair.

"Give!"

Without further ado, Li Fan took out another three taels of silver.

"Thank you, senior!"

Zhang Dabao immediately smiled.

......

"Senior, the donkey meat sandwiches in Canghe County are absolutely amazing. Would you like to try some?"

"purchase!"

"Senior, Da Dao Shaobing is a century-old shop, their shaobing..."

"purchase!"

"The craftsmanship passed down by the 38th generation disciple of Sugar Man Zhang is worth a try!"

"purchase!"

"The cosmetics from Tianyin Workshop are made by grinding together hundreds of flowers and dew, senior..."

"Zhang Dabao, aren't you going a bit too far?"

"I'm a grown man, buying cosmetics, right?"

"Senior, my mistake, my mistake!"

Zhang Dabao scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

But then, Li Fan suddenly said, "Let your girlfriend choose! I'll pay."

Alright!

Zhang Dabao's face broke into a bright smile.

The cosmetics from Tianyinfang are absolutely top-notch.

He couldn't afford it on a normal day.

If you actually bring this gift to their door, it's not impossible that you'll unlock even more positions.

Along the way, Zhang Dabao bought a lot more things.

Gradually, he realized that something was wrong.

He didn't realize it until he calculated it, and he was shocked by the result.

He had already spent one hundred taels of silver from that senior along the way.

This is no small amount.

Zhang Dabao looked around and noticed that many unfamiliar faces had appeared behind him.

These people didn't seem like people he could mess with.

"S-senpai, isn't something wrong?"

Behind us, there are many more strangers.

"They're coming for me!"

Li Fan remained calm.

"ah!"

Zhang Dabao's mouth was open, and his gaze was somewhat vacant.

Damn it, it looks like the bag is stuck together.

"Stop! If you don't keep up, you might get arrested!"

"Senior, this isn't fair!"

Zhang Dabao cried.

This time I really cried.

......

"Senior, that's the Tiger Hall."

Zhang Dabao stopped and pointed to a spot 300 meters away.

The streets were wide, but there were no vendors in sight.

There were no pedestrians on the road.

Even if someone walks forward, they will detour through the alleyway within a hundred meters.

Li Fan looked around and chose a restaurant.

The restaurant is on the second floor, offering a great view that can be seen into the distance.

"Gentlemen, please come in!"

Upon seeing Li Fan and his companion approach, the waiter warmly greeted them.

The restaurant's business has been really bad these past few days.

The shopkeeper was always throwing tantrums, saying it was because they weren't enthusiastic enough.

But everyone knows why.

But no one dared to say anything. After all, they were just trying to make a living. As long as the money was right, a few curses were no big deal.

Almost as soon as Li Fan and his companion sat down, all the food and drinks were served.

Zhang Dabao was completely uninhibited at this point.

Since things are like this anyway, I might as well die a full-bodied death.

Just as Zhang Dabao was enjoying his meal, the sound of horses' hooves came from the street.

He had just put his chopsticks away when he saw a dozen or so constables riding towards him in the distance.

Behind these constables followed armed soldiers.

Looking out from the restaurant, it seemed to stretch on and on.

Such a grand display, could it be that they're here for this senior?

Thinking of this, Zhang Dabao's legs went weak.

No, it won't happen.

This must be a coincidence.

Herod!

The sudden stop of the horse's hooves shattered Zhang Dabao's hopes.

He felt utterly hopeless as he watched the soldiers closing in.

This is really the end!

Xiao Hong, Lu Shui, Xiao Cui, Sister-in-law Li...

Farewell!
