"If you don't want to be constantly remembered, I advise you not to take out spirit stones!" Luo Bing Shuang said coldly next to Ye Feng.
"Remembered?"
Ye Feng didn't understand what she meant at first. However, soon he saw many people around looking at them with fervent gazes.
In an instant, he finally understood.
A man's wealth is his own ruin. This place, called the Land of Desolation, was rumored to be devoid of spiritual energy. Spiritual energy must be extremely rare here.
If he were to reveal that he had so many spirit stones now, he would immediately become the center of attention, coveted by everyone.
This was also why Luo Bing Shuang had only requested one room earlier; her intention was to keep a low profile and avoid attracting attention.
Otherwise, given her apparent status, a mere few thousand low-grade spirit stones wouldn't warrant such caution.
After understanding, Ye Feng revealed a look of realization.
However, just as Luo Bing Shuang thought he would back down, Ye Feng uttered words that shocked her.
"Heh, what are you talking about? You seem to have a bright future, but look at yourself. Would my wife fancy you?" Ye Feng said coldly to the burly man.
"Hmm? What did you say?"
Not only was the burly man stunned, but even Luo Bing Shuang looked incredulous. Ye Feng actually called her his wife?
Although their current superficial identities were similar, they were not the same. Moreover, Ye Feng himself had said it.
However, before she could get angry, the burly man beside them was provoked by Ye Feng's words first and shouted, "Heh, kid, you must be new to Lost City. You're the first one to speak to me like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura converged towards Ye Feng, then transformed into a mountain descending from the sky, pressing down on him.
"Grandmaster Late Stage!!"
Instantly, both Ye Feng and Luo Bing Shuang were shocked, their faces filled with horror. This burly man was actually a late-stage Grandmaster?
Initially, they thought the burly man, who was assigned to record information, wasn't very strong and only dared to act this way due to his special position. They didn't expect his own strength to be so formidable.
Even so, Ye Feng was not intimidated at all. He immediately circulated his aura to resist and said coldly, "Heh, so what if you're a late-stage Grandmaster? I haven't killed one before!"
He had killed a cloaked man on Earth just a few days ago, and that guy was precisely a late-stage Grandmaster.
Therefore, although Ye Feng was wary of the burly man before him, he was not afraid of him!
Upon hearing his words, the burly man found Ye Feng to be incredibly arrogant and angrily retorted, "Hmph, a mere early-stage Grandmaster dares to speak so wildly. You're courting death!"
With that, the burly man unleashed his full aura, vaguely forming an invisible great hammer in the sky, ready to smash down on Ye Feng.
Ye Feng naturally would not wait to be slaughtered. He clenched his fists, lightning flashing, and the next moment, he was also preparing to strike.
However, at this moment, a sudden roar interrupted their confrontation: "Stop! What are you doing? Don't you know the rules of Lost City?"
Saying this, a middle-aged man in a black robe, with a somewhat stern appearance, walked over from not far away, glaring angrily at Ye Feng and the other.
"Geng Nian!"
Seeing this, the burly man's pupils contracted. The next second, he quickly withdrew his aura and his expression turned into a smile, saying, "Haha, Guard Geng, you've misunderstood. I was just trying to let this newcomer understand the rules of Lost City. I had no intention of fighting!"
It was evident that the burly man seemed extremely wary of the middle-aged man, which could be seen from his somewhat fawning tone.
"Hmph!"
Hearing this, Geng Nian merely snorted and didn't speak. Instead, he turned to Ye Feng and said, "Kid, this is your first time here, right? For this reason, I won't hold you accountable for today's incident. But if there's a next time, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Heh!"
Ye Feng chuckled and said nothing, but he did retract his aura. From Geng Nian, he felt a very profound aura. This person's cultivation was definitely not lower than that of the burly man!
Since he and Luo Bing Shuang were new here and unfamiliar with the situation, it was best to avoid trouble.
Seeing this, Geng Nian nodded, then turned to the crowd and said, "Alright, go back to what you were doing. We still have to go to the Sea of Annihilation tomorrow morning. I hope everyone will gain something this time!"
"Otherwise, before the dark creatures attack again, we will all be eroded by the death qi and turn into monsters like them!!"
At these words, everyone seemed to have been struck at their sore spot. Their faces were awkward, and they chuckled incessantly.
However, they still assured him, "Don't worry, Guard Geng. I will go all out this time and strive to dig out a few thousand spirit stones!"
"That's right, Guard Geng. I will also work hard tomorrow. If nothing else, at least ten Spirit Fish should be no problem!!"
"Me too..."
Everyone spoke their assurances. Hearing their words, Ye Feng once again looked puzzled. Sea of Annihilation, digging for spirit stones, Spirit Fish?
However, before he could ask, everyone left amidst a clamor, leaving him with no choice but to let it be.
Soon, Ye Feng and Luo Bing Shuang arrived at their lodging. However, when he saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking he was mistaken.
Before them stood a small, extremely simple room, only twenty square meters in size.
"This is the so-called Grade C room? It's too rudimentary!" Ye Feng couldn't help but twitch his eyelids, feeling speechless.
Hearing this, Luo Bing Shuang also found it hard to believe, her beautiful eyes wide open.
It was rudimentary enough, but it was also so small. Twenty square meters meant she would have to squeeze in with Ye Feng later?
Honestly, in her entire life, she had never been in such close proximity with a male. This made it difficult for her to accept.
However, Ye Feng didn't care about all that and directly pushed the door open and walked in.
To his relief, there was a small wooden bed, a wooden table, and a few chairs inside, and that was it.
Fortunately, Ye Feng had already prepared himself mentally when he saw the room, so he wasn't too disappointed at the moment.
On the contrary, he was even a little happy.
"It's alright, at least there's a place to rest. I'm exhausted from running around these past few days. I'll rest for a while. Call me if anything comes up!"
With that, Ye Feng lay down on the bed to rest.
Seeing this, Luo Bing Shuang frowned slightly. To be honest, after such a long journey, she was also very tired and wanted to rest.
However, seeing that the bed was occupied by Ye Feng, she felt too embarrassed to speak. In the end, she could only sit by the side and close her eyes to rest.
However, whether it was due to fatigue or something else, as she rested, she felt a wave of sleepiness wash over her, and finally, she slowly leaned against the bedside and fell asleep...
