WHOOSH…

Hong Ya flew through the night sky like a bolt of lightning, carrying Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue. Finally, she landed at the Ma Family Manor in Capital City.

"Wow! Wow! Big Brother Fei really came back riding a phoenix!"

"Quick, come and see! This phoenix is so big and majestic!"

"Big Brother Fei is so cool…"

Several children saw them and shouted excitedly, flocking over like a swarm of bees to get a better look at Hong Ya. Unfortunately, Hong Ya had already soared into the sky, vanishing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

"Hehe…" Chen Chaoyue chuckled smugly. "Little ones, your big brother never lies. Now you believe me, right? We really did ride a phoenix back this time."

"Would it kill you not to show off?" Ma Rufei scolded with a laugh. "Hurry, let's find Senior Brother. How could the beauties of Yanjing turn their noses up at him? Are they all blind?"

The two of them quickly dealt with the children and Chen Chaoyue's parents before hopping in a car and speeding off. Chen Chaoyue's car was a Porsche, so it was naturally fast. However, as soon as they hit the road, he asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

"Make a call, obviously."

Ma Rufei took out his phone and called Zhang Bin. "Senior Brother, where are you? We've arrived in Yanjing and are on our way…"

"I'm in the middle of getting it on, so I don't have time. You guys go have fun on your own," Zhang Bin's voice came from the other end. If he couldn't make calls directly from his mind, he probably wouldn't have answered at all.

He was currently locked in a fierce battle with Zhu Danyan. She had long since been routed, yet she continued to mount a stubborn, last-ditch resistance. Together, they were making earth-shattering sounds, but of course, Zhang Bin had shielded the noise so Ma Rufei couldn't hear a thing.

"Holy crap! Senior Brother, didn't you say no girls were giving you the time of day? How did you hook up with one so quickly?" Ma Rufei shouted in surprise.

"Not someone I just met. This one's from before," Zhang Bin said with a sly chuckle before hanging up.

"From before? Who could that be?" Chen Chaoyue's hearing was sharp, and he had overheard, his face a mask of confusion.

"Hmm, let me think. I know all the beauties Senior Brother has been with." Ma Rufei rubbed his brow, concentrating. A moment later, his eyes lit up. "I know who it is!" he said excitedly. "But I'm not telling you, or you'll cry."

"You won't tell me? I'll cry?" Chen Chaoyue looked stunned. "What kind of beauty haven't I seen? What kind haven't I been with? You think I'd cry over a woman?"

"Hehe… you'll be crying soon enough. Head this way," Ma Rufei chuckled, pointing toward Zhu Danyan's villa. "We'll go find Senior Brother. He should be wrapping up his great battle soon. It's been almost three hours, right?"

Clearly, Ma Rufei was also very familiar with Yanjing.

Finally, they arrived at an exceptionally luxurious villa complex but were stopped by security guards at the gate.

"Isn't this the Tianfu Villa Area? The woman Senior Brother is with lives here?" Chen Chaoyue said in surprise.

The Tianfu Villa Area was the most famous of its kind in Yanjing, home only to super-rich tycoons. The security guards were all powerful masters. At a minimum, they had cultivated to the Rushing Pulse Realm, with the stronger ones even reaching the Qi Sea Realm. The captain of security had even reached the Liquid State. Of course, their salaries were exceptionally high. In fact, working as a security guard here was equivalent to finding a place with an excellent atmosphere for cultivation. Therefore, the guards here were no ordinary security. You couldn't afford to underestimate or look down on them, or you'd be in for a world of trouble.

The two of them didn't dare try to force their way in.

However, Chen Chaoyue had extensive connections. He made a quick call, and soon, a young man in his early twenties with hair dyed like a parrot's feathers came out. The moment he saw Chen Chaoyue and Ma Rufei, he jumped with excitement. "Fei Bro, Yue Bro, what brings you to my neck of the woods today?"

His name was Zhang Haijun, and his family background was just as extraordinary. He was also one of their close friends.

"Hehe… Haijun, hurry and get us in. Today's your lucky day. Stay sharp, and there's something in it for you," Chen Chaoyue said with a mischievous laugh.

"Xiao Hai, I didn't expect you to be so lucky. You've really hit the jackpot today," Ma Rufei added, patting Zhang Haijun on the shoulder.

Zhang Haijun was baffled but still joyfully led the two of them inside. They first had to register and leave their ID cards as collateral. Without a resident to greet them, entry was impossible.

Once inside, Ma Rufei directed Chen Chaoyue to drive straight to the gate of Zhu Danyan's villa.

"Why are we here? Is Senior Brother in this villa?" Chen Chaoyue's face suddenly turned deathly pale. He genuinely looked like he was about to cry.

Empress Zhu Danyan was breathtakingly beautiful; she was his goddess, and the goddess of countless other men as well. He had never been able to win her over, so he certainly didn't want anyone else to succeed. But from the looks of it, it seemed Zhang Bin had done just that.

"This is Empress Zhu Danyan's villa. What are you guys doing here?" Zhang Haijun said, astonished. "I'm telling you, even though Empress Zhu Danyan is home, she will absolutely not see you. If you pester her and she says one word to security, you won't be leaving in one piece. In fact, security will probably come over and run you off—or maybe even teach you a harsh lesson—without her even having to ask."

"Xiao Hai, how about a little wager? I bet we can see Zhu Danyan today," Ma Rufei said with a wicked grin.

"It's over, it's all over. Senior Brother really did get Empress Zhu Danyan. My goddess… she's finally taken," Chen Chaoyue lamented, his eyes instantly turning red.

Zhang Haijun, on the other hand, grew excited. "Bet what?"

"A one-day tour of the Immortal Palace, of course," Ma Rufei said with a smirk.

A one-day tour of the Immortal Palace was no simple matter. The cost was astronomical, enough to scare a man to death, priced at a million per person. Of course, for tycoons like them, a million was nothing. But even with money, entry wasn't guaranteed. It was a playground for the refined and cultured. There was an assessment, and if you couldn't pass, you weren't allowed in. The test covered a wide range of subjects, and only true scholars could pass. Uncouth buffoons like them had a hard time getting through; they had to bring a talented person along just to get in. Once inside, they also had to abide by the rules. Otherwise, forget enjoying themselves—they would be thrown out immediately.

"You're on!" Zhang Haijun agreed without hesitation, convinced he would win. He knew for a fact that Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue had tried to visit Empress Zhu Danyan many times before, only to be rebuffed at the door every single time. This time would surely be no different.
