Black Owl glared at him irritably: "You know you're out causing trouble, and you won't let me follow you? I'm not your father or wife, I don't care about you."
After saying that, Black Owl got up and left.
Ji Fengming felt a sudden panic and chased after him, saying, "Hey, hey, that's not what I meant! Are you angry?"
Black Owl's face was indifferent.
"Fine, you're my brother, my own brother, okay?" Ji Fengming reached out and pulled.
Black Owl remained indifferent, raising his hand to brush it away.
"Alright, alright, even if you're my wife, I'll take care of you, is that alright?" Ji Fengming had never seen Hei Xiao so annoyed with him before, and in a moment of impulsiveness, he blurted out without restraint.
The two were walking towards the entrance of Cuihong Building.
Black Owl received strange looks from passersby, and his face flushed with embarrassment: "Get lost!"
“Then I can’t exactly call you mother, can I…” Ji Fengming’s panicked gaze swept over Hei Xiao’s bright red ears, then suddenly her eyes lit up, she secretly grinned mischievously, and casually put her arm around his shoulder: “So what if I’m a godmother? A godmother is still a mother.”
"Pfft!" A male customer who had just stepped out the door carrying a small jar of wine spat it out upon hearing Ji Fengming's words.
Black Owl is unbelievable! How can this kid have such a foul mouth!
"Shut up!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Black Owl covered Ji Fengming's mouth with his hand, grabbed him, and dragged him into a nearby dark and deserted alley.
The drunken male customer, still carrying his small wine jar, took a couple more steps, peering into the dark alleyway: "My goodness, these two young masters are even prettier than the girls in the brothel, no wonder they both hiccuped..."
Not long after Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao left.
The girls in the room next to the two were also asked to come out.
Four burly men with thick beards and gleaming eyes sat around the table, their faces no longer showing any sign of lewdness, but rather extremely serious.
If Ji Fengming saw the appearance of these four people, he would definitely recognize them as the famous Northern Tigers, known in the martial arts world as "Buy one, get the whole family killed as a bonus".
It means that if someone hires them to take revenge, they will also kill that person's entire family as a bonus.
In this way, they won't have to worry about being targeted for revenge in the future.
Similarly, employers will not have such concerns.
So although the name "Four Tigers of the North" sounds somewhat comical, no one in the martial arts world dares to underestimate or ridicule them.
Tiger Four, the youngest and most impatient, said impatiently, "Your Highness is really something. If you want to kill the Crown Prince or the Ninth Prince, just do it directly. Why all the fuss? Do you look down on us or something? I don't believe that we can't handle the Ninth Prince, let alone kill a good-for-nothing Crown Prince."
"The intricacies of the imperial court are different from those in our lakeside and riverside areas. We'll just do whatever His Highness tells us to do. We'll just collect the money and get things done. We'll talk about it when it's time to take action." Hu Da picked up his chopsticks and started poking at the mess of cups and plates on the table, as if he hadn't eaten in eight hundred years and had just found food.
When the other three tigers heard their leader say this, they quickly nodded and bowed in agreement.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they cautiously circled most of the capital city; only after confirming that no one was following them did they swagger into the Southern Prince's residence.
Black Owl and Ji Fengming, who had been lurking outside the Cuihong Tower and following the Four Tigers of the North, looked at the imposing gate of the Southern Prince's Mansion with knowing expressions.
"So they're the Second Prince Shang Nanjue's people," Ji Fengming thought, feeling utterly bored. "Another pointless struggle for the throne."
