Chapter 483: Vice Commander

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Not long after Happy entered Heaven Fragrant Tower, a group of people came over in a mighty manner to stand at the entrance of Heaven Fragrant Tower.

“Vice commander, your arrival in our humble shop has allowed our shop to shine in glory!”

A woman with incredible charm sashayed over with her curvaceous figure and stood at the door. She sounded very hospitable. In fact, she was even more hospitable than when she received Happy.

Clearly, the person in the lead was a regular guest of Heaven Fragrant Tower. There was a relaxed smile on his face as he said, “Madam Qing, thank you for arranging an individual courtyard for us. I have an important guest to serve today.”

As he spoke, he whispered a name into Madam Qing’s ear. She nodded with a smile. “Sir Lang, we will not dare to be negligent when you want to serve someone. When he is here, we will have someone send him to the second best room for honored guests.”

“Second best room?”

When Langye heard Madam Qing’s answer, he could not help but raise an eyebrow.

“Are you saying that the best room has already been booked by someone else?” The person who came over was Tower Master Langye of Sky Penetrating Tower, the second greatest force of power in Beijing. He was also the vice commander of a troop of Embroidered Uniform Guards.

“We have a guest there right now.” Madam Qing did not seem to have noticed the slight change in Langye’s expression.

Langye stood at the entrance and pondered over the matter for a while before he asked, “We have no problem taking the second best room, since the best room has already been taken. But are Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant free right now?”

“Sir Lang, really now, aside from these two treasures, Heaven Fragrant Tower still has plenty of girls who are waiting to receive your attention.”

There was no way Langye would not understand the underlying meaning behind Madam Qing’s words.

“Hmph!” Langye started laughing coldly. “Interesting. Today, I’ll be serving Class One Hall’s vice hall master. Aside from me and the people from Class One Hall, I’d like to see who else from Beijing has the ability to enter the best room in Heaven Fragrant Tower.”

“Sir Lang!” Madam Qing instantly knew that things were not progressing well, and all color drained from her face.

But she did not manage to stop him.

It was not the first time Langye did something like that. He snorted coldly and received the quest to snatch Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant. Then, with a few of his brothers, he marched to the best room at the backyard of Heaven Fragrant Tower with a fierce momentum.

If it were in the past, Langye might act cautiously and ask who was occupying the best room, but now, Class One Hall’s Vice Hall Master Blood Robes was about to arrive, and he was from Class One Hall, the only force of power he feared among the other forces of power in Beijing. Hence, regardless of who the current occupant of the best room was, he did not fear them.

Besides, once he seized Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant, he would display Sky Penetrating Tower’s strength and abilities. At the same time, it would help increase Sky Penetrating Tower’s prestige. Those who could enter the best room were not ordinary people. If he managed to defeat such a person, it would help him increase his tower’s fame and reputation.

Boom!

The door to the yard was destroyed. Langye did not care about Madam Qing trying to stop him. He brought his people into the yard of the best room. The robes belonging to an Embroidered Uniform Guard were on him, and he stood in the yard in an awe-inspiring manner while he waited quietly for the people inside to make their decision.

There was no need for him to hide his appearance and identity. He had come to show his might and display Sky Penetrating Tower’s power, after all.

“I’d like to see just who that person is!”

Langye stood proudly and boldly in the yard and stared at the door to the room quietly. His wide cloak fluttered loudly behind him. It made him look incredibly domineering and elegant.

At that moment, the door to the best room opened soundlessly.

He saw two people in yellow brocade robes walk out from the room while accompanied by Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant.

Langye was stunned. Then, he took a step forward and wrapped his fist in his palm.

“I have not asked for your name yet.”

He thought that the people inside would already be panicking or angry. He did not expect that the two people who came out would be so calm. Besides, one of them gave him a faint sense of pressure, though it was imperceptible.

This feeling was something he had not felt for a long time.

Langye immediately moved forward cautiously and spoke in a refined manner.

“Compared to you, we are not famous, or else, you would not have come up here so fiercely and confidently to use force. Alright, enough with the nonsense. Since you want to attack, I will entertain you.”

The person who spoke was naturally Happy.

Wandering Know-it-all focused on divination, and he did not have much interest in martial arts. It was only natural for him to watch by the side when this sort of situation happened. He placed his hands behind his back, and when he heard Happy’s words, he could not help but say coldly, “I have nothing else to say as well. Vice Commander Lang, best of luck.”

One of them was very calm and composed in front of Langye, and the other was very arrogant.

Langye was originally a little hesitant and uncertain. He thought that he had run into some ace player who had come from an unknown place, but when he heard one of them recognize him, he instantly calmed down.

Since that person was from Beijing, it would be easy to settle matters.

No matter what, Langye was a player who was ranked among the top ten in Dragon Rank, and there were only a handful of greats in Beijing who could spend their money in Heaven Fragrant Tower.

“If that’s the case... please grant me your instruction!”

He seized the air, and his wide cape was thrown behind him with loud howls from the wind. It was calmly caught by a Sky Penetrating Tower elite behind him. Langye revealed an eye-catching and mighty Embroidered Uniform Guard under his cloak.

Slap!

He seized his scimitar.

The person across him stood calmly on the spot. He did not move. He did not even pick up his weapon.

His brief hesitation allowed Happy to see the uncertainty within him.

“Don’t worry, what I practice is palm techniques.” As he said that, he spread his hands.

“Even if you practice palm techniques, you should have gloves, right? Or are you saying that you’re looking down on me, sir?” Langye’s tone turned cold and grave.

“Gloves?” Happy smiled calmly. “I forgot to bring them. Go on and attack me. Regardless of whether I wear them or not, the difference will not be great.”

His words instantly caused Langye to fly into a rage.

After all, he was the tower master of Sky Penetrating Tower, which was the second greatest force of power in Beijing. He was also the seventh ranked player on Dragon Rank, as well as the best fighter and official among the Embroidered Uniform Guards who were players. He was incredibly confident in himself.

Right then, he burned with anger for being looked down upon by a person whose name he did not even know.

“How conceited!” he shouted in anger, and his golden scimitar created a thick layer of cold light with a whoosh. It swept it up and he swung his scimitar horizontally.

Happy could naturally tell that Langye was trying to test the extent of his abilities. He calmly struck forward and generated a gust of wind with his fist. At the same time, he activated Rotating Circle Barrier.

Each of the palm strikes in Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were ingenious, and their might was extraordinary.

The fist-generated wind at the eighth realm had damage that was equal to a supreme grade Life and Death Realm martial art at Grandmaster Realm, but Happy’s weapon disadvantage still remained.

Langye knew this clearly as well. Hence, he was incredibly angry because of Happy’s decision to not use weapons.

When the scimitar glare crashed into Happy’s fist-generated wind, it rammed into Happy’s body fortification, just as expected, and Langye shot forward. The glare of his golden scimitar grew much brighter then!

He did not hold back. He fought at full strength.

Happy switched his momentum. He appeared in front of the saber glare even faster than the fist-generated wind.

An ancient and domineering dragon roar suddenly shot to the sky from Heaven Fragrant Tower.

“ROAR!”
