Seeing this scene, a hint of surprise flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes.
To be honest, he had not expected such a sight behind this door.
“Well? Are you shocked?” the bartender said proudly, patting Lin Feng on the shoulder. “This is what I meant by the real main event!”
Lin Feng did not respond. His gaze swiftly swept across the surroundings.
It was a large hall.
Under the dim lighting, the seats around were already packed with a sea of people.
At the very center of the hall stood an octagonal cage.
“This is… an underground fight arena?” Lin Feng immediately realized.
“That’s right, an underground fight arena! You’re lucky. On your first visit, you get to see Sister Wei personally step into the ring!” the bartender chuckled, pointing toward the octagonal cage. “You’re in for a treat today!”
Lin Feng paused and looked toward the cage.
At that moment, inside the cage, a young woman in a dark green tank top with short hair had just knocked her opponent down with a single punch.
In an instant, the already overwhelming cheers grew even louder.
“Sister Wei?” Lin Feng’s expression turned strange as he looked at the girl raising her arms in the cage. “The Sister Wei you’re talking about… is her full name Shen Chuwei?”
“Oh? I didn’t expect that even though it’s your first time here, you’ve heard of Sister Wei’s name!” the bartender said in surprise.
Lin Feng rolled his eyes inwardly.
He had heard more than just her name.
If nothing unexpected had happened, the young woman inside the cage enjoying the cheers was one of the fiancées his three masters had arranged for him.
Yes, one of them.
“Back on the mountain, I once heard my eldest master mention that Shen Chuwei had quite a reputation within Nancheng’s underground forces. I didn’t expect… an underground boxing match,” Lin Feng muttered, rubbing his temples with a bitter smile.
He had come to the bar partly to learn more about Nancheng’s underground forces, and partly to try his luck asking about Shen Chuwei.
Yet before he even had the chance to ask, he had already seen her.
Still, he had to admit, his three masters truly had good taste.
Though Shen Chuwei was not very old, her well-proportioned figure carried an explosive vitality.
“What? Stunned already? Fallen for Sister Wei, haven’t you?” Seeing Lin Feng staring at Shen Chuwei in the cage without speaking, the bartender nudged him and laughed quietly. This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
“You can just dream about it. I’m telling you, countless people in Nancheng are infatuated with Sister Wei. But they’re all toads dreaming of eating swan meat!”
“Infatuated?” The bartender’s words brought Lin Feng back to his senses.
He glanced at the bartender, who was grinning, and shook his head slightly. “Infatuation? Not quite. I was actually thinking about how to tell her about canceling the engagement.”
“You… what did you say? Canceling the engagement? With who?” The bartender froze.
Lin Feng pointed at Shen Chuwei in the cage and smiled. “Who else? Of course, the Sister Wei you’re talking about.”
After a pause, he added, “She’s my fiancée.”
The bartender’s eyes widened instantly.
In them was unmistakable disbelief.
He stared at Lin Feng for several seconds before suddenly shouting, “You said Shen Chuwei is your fiancée? Are you joking?”
Perhaps because he was too shocked, his voice rang especially loud.
Many of the surrounding spectators heard his shout and immediately looked over in astonishment.
“What? Shen Chuwei is his fiancée? Who is this guy?”
“Impossible! He’s talking nonsense! Sister Wei is the star of this arena, a well-known figure in the underground circle. How could she be engaged to some nobody?”
“One look and you can tell this kid has lost his mind. How could Shen Chuwei possibly be interested in him!”
“…”
At that moment, countless gazes fell upon Lin Feng.
Some were curious, some doubtful, but most were filled with contempt and disdain.
Some even stood up and pointed at Lin Feng, cursing openly.
“Kid, who do you think you are? You think you’re worthy of setting your sights on Shen Chuwei? A toad that doesn’t know the height of the sky! If you know what’s good for you, get out!”
Lin Feng glanced at the man who had cursed him. He did not get angry, merely shook his head slightly. “I’m not joking. Shen Chuwei is indeed my fiancée. I have a marriage contract as proof.”
The moment he said this, some of the onlookers hesitated.
Could this kid really be Shen Chuwei’s fiancé?
But why had they never heard of it before?
Just as the crowd was wavering between belief and doubt, a voice suddenly rang out not far away.
“Everyone, don’t be fooled by this kid! He is not Shen Chuwei’s fiancé!”
With those words, Sun Shaohong, who had previously crossed paths with Lin Feng, strode over quickly.
He glared fiercely at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice, “I personally saw him being extremely close with Zhao Qingling of the Zhao Family! Think about it. What kind of person is Shen Chuwei? How could she possibly tolerate sharing a man with another woman? So he’s lying!”
Sun Shaohong sneered. “He’s just talking nonsense to get close to Shen Chuwei. This little trick might fool others, but it won’t fool me!”
“You again?” Seeing Sun Shaohong step forward, Lin Feng frowned, a trace of displeasure flashing across his brows.
Earlier at the clothing store, Sun Shaohong had pestered Zhao Qingling.
Now he was here slandering him again.
What a narrow path for enemies.
“What? Exposed so quickly and now you’re embarrassed?” Perhaps because they were in public, Sun Shaohong did not retreat as he had before.
He snorted coldly. “Lin Feng, your relationship with Zhao Qingling is already questionable, and now you’re harassing Shen Chuwei. Do you really think Nancheng belongs to you? That you can do whatever you want?”
Before Lin Feng could respond, Sun Shaohong continued, “Shen Chuwei once said that anyone who wants to meet her privately must personally step into the octagonal cage and fight a match. That’s the rule! Since you claim she’s your fiancée, regardless of whether it’s true or not, I’ll ask you this. Do you dare step into the cage and fight?”
The moment these words fell, many spectators began cheering and stirring things up.
“That’s right! If you want to see Shen Chuwei, that’s the rule!”
“If you dare step into the octagonal cage and fight a match, we might believe what you’re saying!”
“Otherwise, if you want to get close to Shen Chuwei today, you’ll have to get past us first!”
As they spoke, many spectators stood up and blocked Lin Feng’s path.
It was as if, should Lin Feng refuse, they would swarm forward and give him a proper beating.
