Chapter 395: Surviving the Calamity

As the time for school to start was approaching, Lan Yue had no choice but to return to the capital city. Xiao Yufan was dragged out unwillingly to accompany the three girls in an activity he disliked most—shopping…

Every woman has a common weakness: a special fondness for shopping. Even Tianxuan was no exception; she was forcibly pulled out by Qingluan, shrugging helplessly with a helpless smile.

The four of them walked down the street, with Xiao Yufan directly ignored. Three beauties appearing together on the street were undoubtedly captivating, yet no one dared to approach…

Even the street hooligans might not know who the Party Secretary of Linjiang was, but they certainly knew Xiao Yufan’s identity. To them, the Dark Gate was absolutely the most mysterious existence, and before this man, they could only worship.

Without even needing to look at everyone’s expressions, Xiao Yufan could guess what they were thinking. He had long been accustomed to being the center of attention and felt quite at ease.

Sounds of swallowing saliva echoed repeatedly, but the three girls ignored everything, their laughter adding a touch of enchanting charm. This unique allure made Xiao Yufan’s heart flutter.

“Hey there, sweethearts, wanna hang out with little master?”

Just at that moment, a few voices rang out inappropriately. There were always some hooligans who couldn’t see clearly, or perhaps the speaker had never seen Xiao Yufan before and was unaware of the Dark Gate.

“Play with your old mom…”

Before Xiao Yufan could react, several hooligans behind the speaker rushed forward and gave him a brutal beating.

“Boss Fan, please continue, continue…”

Without even stopping their actions, the thugs flattered Xiao Yufan. The scene appeared quite bizarre. The man who had spoken earlier hadn’t even figured out what was happening before being inexplicably beaten up.

Xiao Yufan was in a relatively good mood and naturally didn’t want to bother with these people. Embracing the beauties on either side, he walked forward. No one dared to stare openly at the three girls anymore.

“What the hell, you crazy bastards! Why did you hit me!”

Watching Xiao Yufan’s figure disappear from sight, the few hooligans finally stopped their beating. The man who had spoken was already bruised and swollen.

“We beat the hell out of you, you bastard! Do you even know who that man is? Do you know those beauties are all his women? It’s fine if you alone get in trouble, but don’t drag us into it!”

One of them grumbled resentfully. If not for their quick thinking to beat this guy up immediately, they might now be lying on the ground themselves. The many incidents in Linjiang had taught them one truth: this man was the true underground king.

“Who exactly is that man…”

Already dazed from the beating, this man could only swallow his bitterness. Looking at his brothers’ expressions, he vaguely realized that this man was someone he couldn’t possibly provoke.

“Have you heard of the Dark Gate…”

“Of course, isn’t that the underground emperor of Linjiang now!”

Nodding numbly, this man might not have known Xiao Yufan, but he did know about the Dark Gate. Thinking about that place that all underworld figures admired, a chill crept up his spine. Could that man just now be someone really important in the Dark Gate?

“You know the Dark Gate is the underground emperor, yet you still dared provoke that man! That man is the true ruler of the Dark Gate!”

Another person angrily said. Not even looking at the man’s astonished eyes, he even felt like giving this guy another thrashing. Just moments ago, his heart had nearly jumped out of his chest. If Xiao Yufan had decided to make an issue of it, they would certainly have ended up dead on the streets…

“He… he’s the young master of the Dark Gate?”

This time, the man completely lost his nerve. Cold sweat slid down his cheek, and a feeling of having barely escaped death washed over him…
