Gao Wu: My freshman internship was a battle on the front lines.

Chapter 126 Shanhe Prefecture

the next day.

Haicheng City Lord's Mansion Square.

An airship was quietly parked there.

The silver-white hull gleamed in the sunlight, and its streamlined shape was very attractive.

This is the best airship in Haicheng, which Xiong Chumo bought at a high price.

He usually wouldn't part with it, but today was an exception.

Several people boarded the airship!

The airship slowly took off.

Ye Feng stood in front of the airship, looking at the silver-white airship.

"Could you drive a little faster?" Ye Feng couldn't help but ask.

Xiong Chumo was arranging his entourage when he heard this and turned to look at him.

A subtle smile played at the corners of his lips.

"Ye Feng, do you even know what style is?"

"style?"

"Yes, class." Xiong Chumo patted the airship's cabin wall.

"These airships aren't for traveling; they're for displaying status."

"Imagine you descending from the sky in an airship, its silvery-white hull gleaming in the sunlight, exuding composure and calmness—you're clearly a big shot."

"If you drive too fast, you'll just disappear in a flash, and I won't even be able to see what you look like. Would I look like a delivery person then?"

Cheng Daxiong laughed heartily beside him.

"Old Xiong, you're right, Brother Ye Feng, you should learn from this. That's called the demeanor of a great general."

Ye Feng's lips twitched; the description of him as a deliveryman was quite apt.

"Alright, alright, let's go to the cabin," Xiong Chumo said to the two of them.

"It only took a day and a night to get there, very fast."

It took a whole day and night to fly only 800 kilometers?

Is this what you call fast?

Ye Feng shook his head and said nothing more.

The airship was much more spacious than Ye Feng had imagined.

The cockpit is in the front, the living room is in the middle, and there are three separate bedrooms in the back.

The living room has a sofa, coffee table, bookshelves, and even a small wine cabinet.

"Sit wherever you like, drink whatever you want." Xiong Chumo leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs.

"We're not in a rush this time, let's take our time."

Ye Feng sat down on the sofa and looked out at the clouds through the porthole.

The airship wasn't slow, but compared to the wings of the god-slaying creature, it was like a snail crawling.

But it really felt comfortable.

He couldn't help but wonder, when will I be able to buy one for Jiangcheng too?

But then I remembered that this thing seems quite expensive.

never mind!

"It would be better to craft another magical weapon to earn kill points!"

Ye Feng thought to himself.

The airship began to increase its speed.

Xiong Chumo also wanted to get to the prefectural city as soon as possible, but he was too embarrassed to admit that Ye Feng was right.

Ye Feng saw through it but didn't say anything, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Lord Xiong, you're familiar with Shanhe Prefecture City. Where will you stay once we arrive?"

"Where should I stay?" Xiong Chumo thought for a moment.

"Stay at the designated guesthouse of the Taoist academy. I'm from the academy, so I don't have to pay for the guesthouse. Besides, it's the best hotel in Shanhe Prefecture!"

Ye Feng leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest, but his mind was not idle.

He was thinking about what he had seen when he entered that spirit world.

And then there's Li Mo's distorted face.

Li Mo is dead. This time, he's really dead.

The system notification sound is accurate!

The kill points have been credited; Li Mo is definitely dead this time.

However, the words Li Mo said before he died were still swirling in his mind.

"I'm not reconciled! I've given so much! Why can't I still beat you?"

Ye Feng opened his eyes and looked at the clouds outside the window.

"I'm the main character! Isn't it normal that you can't beat me?"

"When we get back to Jiangcheng, I'm going to forge lots of spirit weapons and puppets!"

"I'm going to earn more kill points! I'm going to make sure none of my enemies can beat me!"

A day and a night later.

The airship finally arrived at Shanhe Prefecture City.

Ye Feng stood at the porthole of the airship, looking down at the largest city in Shanhe Prefecture, his pupils dilating slightly.

Big!

too big!

He already felt that the city walls of Jiangcheng were very high and thick.

But compared to the city walls of Shanhe Prefecture, it's like the difference between a child and an adult.

The city walls of Shanhe Prefecture are at least 100 meters high and more than 50 meters wide at the base, and are entirely constructed of reinforced concrete and special alloys.

There is a gun emplacement every 100 meters on the city wall.

Those cannons were several times larger than the largest cannon in Jiangcheng.

The buildings within the city stretched as far as the eye could see.

Some tower into the clouds, while others stretch for miles.

The streets were bustling with traffic and pedestrians, ten times more prosperous than when Jiangcheng was at its peak.

Xiong Chumo, who was standing to the side, introduced the situation with a smile.

"Shanhe Prefecture City, with a population of 12 million, is the largest city in the southern part of Great Xia."

"Here are the Taoist temple's Shanhe Prefecture branch, the Night Watchmen's Shanhe Prefecture headquarters, and the military's Shanhe Prefecture military region command."

"There's also the largest auction house, the largest exchange, and the largest martial arts school in Shanhe Prefecture. In short, whatever you want, we have it here."

Ye Feng listened and nodded repeatedly.

This place certainly deserves this grandeur.

There is a seventh-tier mid-stage palace master in charge.

They have dozens of sixth-tier and hundreds of fifth-tier soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of troops, making them dozens of times stronger than Jiangcheng.

The airship landed in a designated parking area outside the city.

The entry procedures went very smoothly.

Xiong Chumo's status as the city lord is evident.

Upon seeing his city lord's token, the guards immediately allowed him to pass.

The three entered the city and went directly to the best hotel in Shanhe Prefecture.

Shanhe Grand Hotel.

It is said to have been opened by a seventh-level Venerable.

Good service, nice environment, and most importantly, safe.

The hotel lobby was magnificent, and the receptionists all looked like TV stars.

Cheng Zhenshou stepped to the front desk, his face beaming.

"Hello, three rooms."

The receptionist checked on the computer and looked somewhat apologetic.

"Sir, our hotel is experiencing a room shortage these days, and we only have one standard room left."

"One room?" Cheng Zhenshou's smile froze.

"I am Xiong Chumo, the city lord of Haicheng. You have a cooperation agreement with the Dao Academy, so you should have reserved rooms, right?" City Lord Xiong said.

"Sir, all the reserved rooms are fully booked. These few days are during the performance review meeting, and the city lords and garrison commanders from various cities are staying here."

Xiong Chumo looked a little embarrassed.

He is the lord of Haicheng, one of the eight major cities of Shanhe Prefecture, and a regional lord.

We couldn't even book a room when we arrived in the city; it was embarrassing to tell anyone.

He took out his phone and started making a call.

I called my old classmates from the Taoist temple and friends I used to know.

I called several times, and the answer was always the same.

"Sorry, Lao Xiong, I couldn't solve it for you."

Ye Feng stood to the side with his arms crossed, expressionless, except for a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

We'll make sure you don't book in advance!

Let you act like a general!

Now, the general is finally getting a standard room, and it's the last one available.

Three people crammed into one room?

Sleeping in a room with these two rough men?

Ye Feng would rather sleep on the streets.

"I'll give it a try." He took out his phone, found Zhang Lizhuo's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang twice before being answered, and Zhang Lizhuo's hearty laughter came from the other end.

"Brother Ye! You've arrived in the prefectural city?"

"We've arrived, Brother Zhang. There's something I'd like to ask you—we can't book a hotel. The Shanhe Hotel only has one standard room left. Could you perhaps help us arrange something?"

"Shanhe Hotel? Okay, you wait here, I'll make a call."

The phone hangs up.

Less than three minutes later, Zhang Lizhuo called back.

His voice was apologetic.

"Brother Ye, I'm sorry, I'm currently on business out of town and can't make it back."

"But don't worry, I've already made arrangements. You can just go and check into the presidential suite at the Shanhe Hotel."

"I'll treat you to a welcome dinner at Tianxiang Restaurant tomorrow night."

"Presidential suite?" Ye Feng's voice changed, and he asked in surprise.

"Yes, the presidential suite." Zhang Lizhuo's tone was very calm.

"I've spoken to the hotel owner; Brother Ye is my honored guest, so I've arranged for him to reserve the best suite on the top floor. You can just go straight up; I've already made the arrangements."

Ye Feng thanked her and hung up the phone. The receptionist had already been notified, and her attitude changed from polite to respectful.

"Mr. Ye, please follow me. The presidential suite is on the top floor."

The three followed the waiter into the elevator.

The elevator went all the way up to the top floor.

As soon as the door opened, Xiong Chumo and Cheng Daxiong were both stunned.

This isn't a hotel room; it's clearly a sky villa.

There is only this one suite on the entire top floor.

Ye Feng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire Shanhefu City.

"Lord Xiong, who usually stays in this presidential suite?"

Xiong Chumo swallowed hard: "It is said that only seventh-level Venerables can stay here."

"Then let's..."

"We're only getting here because of you. With my connections, I wouldn't even be able to get a standard room, let alone a presidential suite."

"I'll take you to meet someone tomorrow!"
