Chapter 452 - 436 Before the Restriction (2/3)
Zhou Heng and the Black Donkey were not walking very quickly—it was more like a leisurely stroll.
"Brother, don’t go any further!" Just then, a man jumped out from the bushes beside them and spoke to Zhou Heng. However, as his gaze swept over the Black Donkey’s floral-dressed appearance, a strange expression involuntarily appeared on his face.
——To see the Black Donkey in such a ridiculous state, hardly anyone could keep from gaping in astonishment! Those in the know might react better, but the uninformed would surely think Zhou Heng, this "owner," was a pervert.
Zhou Heng chuckled and asked, "Why not?"
The man blocking the way was a twenty-something youth, of average build and ordinary appearance, but looking as though he had just been beaten up, exuding an air of raggedness. He looked at Zhou Heng with great surprise and said, "This is the Lin Family’s territory, don’t you know?"
"The Lin Family?" Zhou Heng responded indifferently, this place was clearly unclaimed land; when had it become the territory of some family or power? If anyone truly had a claim, his lineage as the genuine bloodline of the Great Eternal Emperor should rightfully trump anyone else’s, shouldn’t it?
"Brother, if you’ve sneaked in here, shouldn’t you avoid the main roads? Isn’t this too ostentatious? Look at me, I barely made it to the front lines before I was discovered. Lucky for me, I’m quick-witted. I talked my way out with countless pleasantries, got beaten only once, and they took all my Spirit Stones. Otherwise, I’d be dead!" The youth had a look of misfortune on his face.
That’s really domineering!
Zhou Heng gave a slight smile. Some people had the right to be domineering, but did the Lin Family have it? He clasped his fists towards the young man and said, "My name is Zhou Heng. How should I address you, brother?"
"Huh?" The youth was startled, not expecting Zhou Heng to be in the mood to exchange names and forge relations at this moment. Couldn’t you wait until we were in a safe place to discuss these matters? He was now penniless, and another run-in with the Lin Family would spell certain death!
