    Early in the morning, Hao Ye earnestly sought Zhu Minng’s guidance on the intricacies of swordsmanship.


    Zhu Minng, with a sincere face, said to Hao Ye, “Imagine yourself as a servant holding a grass-trimming sickle, your sword strokes so delicate that you do not harm a single flower or nt around you, whilst clearing all the overgrown and misceneous grass in the entire estate, that too is a form of practice.”


    So that morning, Hao Ye practiced, though he possessed powerful Sword Spirits capable of leveling the entire estate with a single stroke, he had to gently ensure that each of his strokes cut only one patch of weeds!


    Zhu Minng nced outside Li Yunzi’s room, saw she was still resting, and decided not to disturb her, walking outside instead to see for himself the mix of fish and dragons in Runyu City…


    He still hoped that Runyu City could help alleviate the burden of his dragon pets’ feeding costs, so he had to take this city seriously.


    Alone, Zhu Minng followed the somewhat dpidated streets and saw a row of shattered shops, bricks and tiles scattered everywhere, beams and pirs copsed, with hardly a few intact buildings.


    In the midst of such ruins, surprisingly, there were still quite a few merchants setting up stalls, forming a small market. However, they were not selling vegetables, fruits, clothes, and the like, but weapons, armors, dragon skin, monster bones, and medicines.


    In front of the rubble market, there was arge wooden board, which could be seen from a distance.


    On the wooden board, portraits of wanted criminals were stered alongside many bounty offerings,missions, and hiring notices, attracting crowds of people around it.


    “It seems that although this city is chaotic, it has formed its own little society; mercenaries, guards, soldiers, hunters, military traders, viins, they all depend on Runyu City for their survival in this region,” Zhu Minng thought, sensing an atmosphere somewhat simr to the City of Sin.


    Perhaps, with a few more inhumane ughters, Runyu City would descend into a City of Sin, teeming with viins, criminals, and members of the evil sects.


    Zhu Minng approached the wooden board to take a look at the postings, which reminded him of themission station at the Dragon Taming Academy, where one could find suitable tasks and earn corresponding rewards.


    “Collect Mourning Dragon w hooks for making military weapons?”


    “Wanted: defected Dragon Trainer?”


    “Reward offered for one person, the runaway groom from Miao Kingdom—Zhu Minng.”


    Zhu Minng was scanning seriously among the crowd when he suddenly saw a portrait of himself, prominently ced in the center of the wooden board.


    Moreover, the portrait captured his likeness so divinely, nailing his once-in-a-millennium dashing looks. Anyone who saw him in person would be able to recognize him instantly!


    Zhu Minng was shocked to the core!!


    Looking carefully at the issuer of the bounty, it was Miao Kingdom’s royal power!


    Wen Lingfei…


    Could it be that he’s practicing swordsmanship so much that it’s driving him crazy?


    As a representative of Miao Kingdom’s royal power, offering such a public bounty for a runaway groom was utterly face-losing!


    Shouldn’t these kinds of matters be too shameful to make public?


    “Brother, you look familiar,” said a man with arge python dragon slung around him, turning his head and scrutinizing Zhu Minng closely.


    “So it wasn’t just my eyes ying tricks on me. Doesn’t this man look like that groom wanted by Miao Kingdom’s royal power?”


    “Isn’t he just!”


    “It’s really him, that’s Zhu Minng!!”


    “My God, how can there be such a wasteful person in this world, who fled after bing the Miao Kingdom’s son-inw,pletely unforgivable. I don’t need the bounty, we must grind him into meat paste!!”


    “The bounty is three million gold, and he must be captured alive.”


    “Oh, then you all stand back, don’t hurt the three million.”


    Just moments ago, the people under the wooden board were amicable, but suddenly they turned into fierce wolves, their eyes greedy like they had spotted a priceless treasure, staring fixedly at Zhu Minng.


    Zhu Minng himself had not expected things to develop so outrageously…


    As the holder of the Runyu City’s Contract Book, he was just doing his duty as the local official inspecting the city early in the morning. Who would have thought that such a problem would arise during an inspection.


    Three million gold!!


    Wen Lingfei was really willing to spend; she only bid 2.75 million gold at the auction!


    “Everyone, calm down a bit, can you listen to what I have to say first?” Zhu Minng said, looking at the already seething crowd, with a dark expression on his face.


    “You are a disgrace to all men!” said the Dragon Shepherd, who imed to be a Lord.


    “On this wooden board, there are bounties worth a few thousand gold, tens of thousands of gold, or even over a hundred thousand gold, asmon as hairs on an ox. Everyone still has to think carefully, weighing whether they can handle it properly. And why am I, Zhu Minng, offered a bounty of three million gold? You should all be clear in your hearts that I am a dangerous person. I advise everyone to carry on as before and not to attempt a bounty that you will regret for the rest of your life,” Zhu Minng said, very rationally, impartially, and objectively.


    However, this statement, rather than calming things down, further enraged more people who were seeking bounty targets.


    Too arrogant!


    He doesn’t take these mercenaries and hunters, who live on bounties, seriously!


    Each one of them is a powerful troop frantically recruited by regr armies; in any country’s army, they could hold their own!


    “It seems you are all too impulsive,” Zhu Minng said, trying to advise them kindly.


    “Attack! Brothers, let’s take him down together; if we need to, we’ll just split the three million gold!” shouted the Dragon Shepherd from before.


    This person must be a regr in Runyu City, and most of the teams, squads, and gangs under this board recognized him. Under the enticement of such a huge bounty, not many would back down!


    Zhu Minng had already used the Charming Shadow Clothes to drift to the ruins. Seeing the group rushing at him like evil wolves and each showing their own Divine Skills, Zhu Minng, who initially wanted to escape, thought carefully and decided that since he had to establish himself in Runyu City sooner orter, using these hunters, mercenaries, and Dragon Shepherds to establish his authority was not a bad choice.


    “Oh!!!!!!”


    The Lei Cang Violent Dragon, which had been promoted to Lord Level, burst out from Zhu Minng’s Spirit Realm in a frenzy. It did not care about being surrounded by arge group of ferocious Dragon Beasts, as if these sharp-wed, fanged dragons were just a group of lizards.


    The Molten Fire Armor made the Lei Cang Violent Dragon burn with red mes, which, apanied by the lightning constantly emanating from its scales, made it so that even the Lord Level Ancient Dragons couldn’t withstand a single full-force attack from the Lei Cang Violent Dragon!


    “Qing Zhuo, go!”


    Zhu Minng just kept dodging back, and even though he was being mobbed by a group of people, as a Dragon Shepherd, he could still peel an orange while fighting them.


    An Azure Dragon on the left, a Holy Dragon on the right, with a Sword Spirit Dragon in the middle!


    If any Divine and Mortal managed to break through his defenses, the Sword Spirit Dragon would act leisurely, ensuring that no enemies got within ten meters of Zhu Minng, not affecting his orange eating.
