I Am Immortal in Great Yu

Chapter 211: Chapter 88: Gloomy Dream

In the hazy, smoke-like air, snowflakes drifted down, occasionally fluttering into the pavilion.

The lingering music of strings and flutes filled the air. A beautiful woman dressed in light gauze, her skin faintly visible, danced with ethereal grace. At times, she would leap into the air, her Flowing Cloud Water Sleeves unfurling as her skirt billowed around her.

”Excellent! This Huan’er’s figure is so supple!” one of the young masters exclaimed.

”If I could get her into... hehe!” His snicker was full of unspeakable vulgarity.

”That’s the one! Huan’er—she’s mine for the night!” another man declared, slamming his hand on the table as he shot to his feet.

His declaration immediately drew a chorus of protests.

”Tch, who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to call dibs?”

”Exactly! Let the highest bidder win!”

...

Just as these rich young masters were bickering over the beauty—

At that moment, however, Fang Rui only felt his stomach turn. The more he had enjoyed the performance before, the more nauseated he felt now—so much so that he wanted to go rinse his eyes out.

With his Professional Level Disguise Technique and the keen perception of a Third Grade expert, virtually no disguise could fool him. A single glance was all it took to see that this so-called ”beauty”... was a damn man!

’As for being supple...’

’He’s a full-fledged Martial Artist, of course he’s flexible. You all want to take ”her” to bed? ”She” probably wants to take *you* to bed! I’m afraid if ”she” were to pull it out...’

’A cross-dressing master from the Otherworld? Can’t mess with that! Definitely can’t mess with that!’

Fang Rui felt that every additional glance was an assault on his eyes.

BANG!

He kicked the table over. ”Move! Huh, where’s Bajin? Whatever, we’ll manage without him. Dadan, Old Gou, signal the men! That’s him! Arrest him!”

Following their leader’s example, Li Dadan and Xun Buhe moved with remarkable speed. One moment they were engrossed in the performance, the next they shot to their feet, ready for action.

Li Dadan, in particular, glared at the ”woman” on stage, his teeth grinding. He desperately wanted to do to that man what that man had done to him, to make him...

WHOOSH!

Having received the signal, the Chief Constables and constables lying in wait outside swarmed in.

This sudden turn of events ruined the young masters’ fun, and they immediately began to curse and shout.

”Who the hell is ruining my good time?”

”Which son of a bitch did this? Show yourself!”

”I’ll skin you alive...”

...

When they realized the noise was coming from one of the front booths, the crowd’s clamor quieted somewhat, though a fearless few continued to shout.

Until—

”Divine Capture Bureau business! All civilians, stand back! The one on stage is the legendary male Flower Thief!”

The entire room fell silent for a few breaths, and then...

”Holy fuck!”

”Holy fuck!”

”Holy fuck!”

...

The sounds of utter chaos filled the air as tables and chairs were knocked over.

That was right. Some people in the audience weren’t particularly afraid of the Divine Capture Bureau, but they were terrified of the legendary male Flower Thief! They had come here to seek pleasure, not to *be* the pleasure that was sought!

To think that just moments before, they had been lusting after that person, wanting to take ”her” to bed... The mere thought made their scalps tingle and their stomachs churn.

Indeed, by now, many had come to their senses, and the sound of retching began to rise from all corners of the room.

In short, there were no more objections about their fun being disturbed.

”Fire!”

Fang Rui wasn’t one for martial honor. He simply waved his hand.

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

Arrows fell like rain.

”With me!”

After the volley of arrows, Li Dadan was the first to charge, drawing his blade and rushing forward.

”The Divine Capture Bureau? You’re a meddlesome bunch!”

Seeing his cover was blown, the man dropped the charade. His voice came out as a deep baritone as he swept a long sleeve through the air. Amid a series of sharp cracks, the incoming arrows were all batted aside.

The Chief Constables and constables who rushed in to surround him were sent flying backward with cries of pain as he flicked his long gauze sleeves at them.

Even Li Dadan, the Seventh Grade Chief Constable at the forefront of the attack, was no exception.

However, the man hadn’t used lethal force.

Then, with a tap of his toes, the man shot into the air, breaking through the blockade and using a Body Technique to flee.

However, a figure appeared, blocking his path.

”Get lost!”

The man swept his sleeve, but Fang Rui dodged it with ease. He then closed the distance in a flash, erupting with a majestic Bright Force simulated by his True Qi, and slammed his palm down with shattering force.

BANG!

The man was sent flying backward, landing right in the middle of the encirclement. Clutching his chest and coughing up blood, he struggled but couldn’t manage to sit up. He stared at Fang Rui, his face a mask of terror. ”You... you...”

”Lock his shoulder blades and seal his acupoints. Take him away!” Fang Rui commanded with a simple wave of his hand.

He had arrived in a rush, descended like a Celestial God, finished the job with clean efficiency, and departed just as quickly, leaving behind a chorus of awed, fearful, and amazed whispers.

”Who was that from the Divine Capture Bureau? He looks unfamiliar,” a young master dressed in brocade asked.

”Hah, you don’t even know that? So ignorant. That’s the new Silver Seal Chief Constable, Fang Rui, also known as Fang Yinzheng!” another person chimed in.

”That Fang Yinzheng is that powerful? The Flower Thief was clearly a Middle Grade Martial Artist, but he was crippled in a single move?!”

”Tell me about it.”

”Unfathomable! Simply terrifying!”

...

「Outside the Chunfeng Building.」

Fang Rui went straight to his carriage.

”Chief, where are you off to?”

”It’s getting late. I’m going home to eat.”

Fang Rui said irritably, ”What, you expect me to work overtime? Take the Flower Thief away and interrogate him yourselves. I’m heading home.”

”Take care, Chief!”

That sycophant Xun Buhe, who seemed to have learned a thing or two from Niu Bajin, said with a fawning smile, ”You’ve already done all the hard work, Chief! We have to do our part, too! Don’t you worry, you can rest easy and leave the rest to us. From the location of the Flower Thief’s hidden treasure to the color of the underwear he wore yesterday, we’ll dig up every last detail for you!”

”That’s right!”

Li Dadan rubbed his hands together, a vulgar smirk on his face. ”I’ll be sure to give him some... special treatment.”
