Martial artists from the Mortal World would rather die than submit, obedient only to their inner drive.

Even when Yi Long had been disabled by Yang Fei, Yi Long didn't submit to him.

But at this moment, Yi Long genuinely respected Yang Fei from the bottom of his heart.

Yi Long stood up and moved his limbs a bit.

He deeply bowed to Yang Fei, "Thank you, Brother Fei, for your help. I, Yi Long, will never forget this."

Yang Fei looked at him indifferently and lazily shrugged his shoulders, "Don't thank me, I had no choice."

"If Kong Erhu had indeed killed you, with his connections, he would definitely pin the blame on my head."

Yi Long nodded his head but didn't straighten up.

He bowed deeply again, "No matter what, you saved my life and spared me from Kong Erhu's humiliation."

"I cannot fail to acknowledge this favor."

Yang Fei fell silent, somewhat helpless.

Fan Yi came over and said coldly, "Since you're fine now, please leave."

"We do not deal with Mortal World feuds; we just want to run our business properly."

Yi Long looked at Yang Fei, hesitating to speak.

Eventually, he said in a low voice, "Unlike what Brother Fei said, having offended Kong Erhu, I now have nowhere to go."

Yang Fei sighed with a headache.

He said lightly, "You're not trying to impose on me, are you?"

"I'm just an odd-job man at the hotel; I certainly can't afford to maintain a master like you."

He looked at Yi Long with a half-smile, "I heard that Kong Erhu paid you a monthly salary of two hundred thousand."

"My salary at Lanting Hotel is only fifteen hundred."

"Last week, the lady boss mentioned a raise of five hundred, but it hasn't been realized up to now."

"Fifteen hundred..."

Yi Long was completely shocked, looking at Yang Fei, his mouth wide enough to throw horse dung eggs into.

Just then, Lin Xueyi came downstairs.

She heard what Yang Fei said and immediately became upset, "What's wrong with fifteen hundred, isn't fifteen hundred money?"

"Yang Fei, it seems you've made a fortune and no longer regard me, your boss, with any respect, do you?"

Yang Fei jumped in fright and immediately surrendered, "The most beautiful and gentle boss, you must have heard wrong."

"Actually, I was educating these two brothers who have come to apply for security jobs at our hotel."

"Given the current economic downturn, a salary of fifteen hundred for hotel security is already quite generous, enough even for two trips to the sauna to find beautiful women, truly a considerable sum."

As he spoke, he walked over, nodding and bowing, following closely behind Lin Xueyi.

Lin Xueyi ignored him and walked straight ahead, with Yang Fei scurrying closely behind her, like a little eunuch following the Empress Mother.

When Lin Xueyi sat down at the counter, Yang Fei immediately ingratiatingly began massaging her shoulders.

"I can swear to God, Sister Xueyi has always been in my heart."

"Sister Xueyi is my sun, Sister Xueyi is my moon."

"Sister Xueyi is the one and only idol in my heart."

...

Listening to the endless and cost-free flattery coming from Yang Fei's mouth.

Yi Long's mouth grew wider, and his eyes nearly popped out.

My God, what is going on here?

With Yi Long's Mingjin Heavenly Grade martial arts cultivation, even in a small place like Yannan City.

Working as a personal bodyguard for some wealthy people, his monthly salary wouldn't be less than fifty thousand.

And Yang Fei's martial arts realm is unfathomable, probably many times greater than Yi Long's.

Yet he is content to work as an odd-job man in this small hotel, with a monthly salary of fifteen hundred?

Yi Long found he was increasingly unable to understand Yang Fei.

Moreover, martial artists are supposed to cherish their dignity and honor above wealth, and stability over poverty.

As for mentioning beautiful women, that's even more of a joke.

If a martial artist can't even pass the test of women, how could they ever cultivate superior martial arts?

Watching Yang Fei, who resembled a little eunuch, fawning over the lady boss, Yi Long completely revised his understanding of martial arts.

Could it be that shamelessness and insolence are the best methods to cultivate superior martial arts?

Fan Yi had already grown accustomed to Yang Fei's despicable behavior.

However, watching how Yang Fei flattered the lady boss, he still felt an urge to cover his face and run away.

That's freaking despicable.

Lin Xueyi exerted the lady boss's authority and reined in Yang Fei.

She looked at Yi Long and Fan Yi, and said in surprise, "Are you here to apply for a job as hotel security guards?"

Hotel security guards?

Yi Long had never imagined himself, such a fierce person, being associated with the term "hotel security guard."

He was about to shake his head, then he heard Fan Yi lightly laugh and say, "Sister Xueyi, hello, my name is Fan Yi. I came to apply for the hotel security job."

Yang Fei, supporting Lin Xueyi, introduced on the side, "This is my brother, Fan Yi. We used to serve in the same army unit."

"This guy is very diligent. After transitioning to civilian life, he had nothing to do, so I recommended him for this job."

Hearing that Fan Yi had also been a soldier and looking at his handsome and sunny appearance, Lin Xueyi immediately nodded her head in approval.

"My younger brother Lin Zi was also a soldier. You soldiers have high-quality comrades, definitely more than enough for hotel security."

"It's just that the salary here is a bit low. If you are willing to take the job, you can stay."

"The monthly salary is fifteen hundred, with room and board included. There's an eight hundred yuan bonus for full attendance at the end of the month."

Fan Yi nodded his head.

Yang Fei, however, started wailing on the side, "Sister Xueyi, there is a bonus at the end of the month, so how come I've never received it?"

"Hmph, have you ever had full attendance?"

"Every time, it's either leave or absence from work, one thousand five hundred is too much for you."

With a fierce glance from Lin Xueyi, Yang Fei immediately shrank back.

Yi Long watched this bizarre scene, his heart pounding with fear.

How could such evildoers be so easily disciplined by the lady boss?

Monster indeed.

Fan Yi smiled and said politely, "Thank you, Sister Xueyi."

Lin Xueyi nodded her head in satisfaction.

Her gaze then shifted to Yi Long, frowning slightly.

"Your stature is a bit unsuitable for a security guard."

"But, since the Qingquan Stone's upscale branch is opening soon, I'll reluctantly take you. The conditions are the same as for Fan Yi. Are you willing?"

Yi Long felt like crying but had no tears.

With Yi Long's big reputation, in Yannan City's underworld, anyone who heard it would tremble in fear.

He came to apply for a job as a fifteen hundred yuan bathhouse security guard, and the lady boss still complained about his height?

Yang Fei and Fan Yi exchanged glances, both eyes brimming with amusement.

If Lin Xueyi knew that this guy was the fierce chief bodyguard under Kong Erhu...

She wouldn't know what kind of fright she'd experience.

Yi Long glanced at Yang Fei, gritted his teeth, and respectfully bowed to Lin Xueyi.

"Thank you, madam boss. I will definitely fulfill my duties and responsibilities."

Lin Xueyi hummed affirmatively and said, "As long as the work is done well, salary and bonuses will increase later."

After she finished speaking, she instructed Yang Fei, "These two brothers just arrived in Yannan, unfamiliar with everything here."

"Help them rent some housing, buy some daily necessities, and arrange for them to go on duty at Qingquan Stone's upscale branch tonight."

Yang Fei readily agreed and gestured to the two men.

The three turned and walked out of the hotel.
