Reversing the Milky Way

Seeing this, everyone present was amazed. At this moment, Wei Tao returned to the white wooden bowl and said, "Was that an inscription? Could it be the Overlord Sect's body-forging secret technique?"

At this moment, Bai Muwan's expression was also solemn. She stared intently at Bai Cheng and then slowly said, "Although it looks similar, it shouldn't be him. Although the Body Refining Secret Technique of the Overlord Sect is rare, it still requires reaching the Qi Condensation Realm. He is only at the Body Refining Realm, so he cannot cultivate it."

Upon hearing Bai Cheng's question, Xue Liyun controlled the floating stone platform to slowly approach. Then, Bai Cheng suddenly noticed that there was a group of dancers trembling on it.

After approaching Bai Cheng, Xue Liyun said, "This girl seems to have gone berserk due to a surge of spiritual energy, and we had no choice but to suppress her." Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng immediately replied, "Impossible. Yue Ling has always maintained a calm state of mind; how could she possibly have a surge of spiritual energy?"

At this moment, Wen Yuanning floated over on another small floating stone platform and said, "We are telling the truth! This girl caused a huge scene at Xuefu Restaurant today, making such a mess of the entire restaurant. She must make compensation, and she must stay!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng was filled with rage. This person in front of him wanted to kill Yue Ling. He deeply regretted coming to the restaurant. If he had known that something like this would happen today, he definitely wouldn't have come.

However, there was no other way at the moment. He had indeed seen Yue Ling fighting with them, but what was going on? Wasn't Yue Ling a wind-attribute spiritual power physique? Why was her spiritual power purple? However, he didn't continue to think about this question, but said, "How much is it? I'll pay for it."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanning burst into laughter.

"why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at your ignorance! You dare to talk about compensation? Putting aside the dead and injured, you can't even afford to pay for the losses to this restaurant!"

After speaking, Wen Yuanning looked at Bai Cheng with a serious expression, her eyes sharp and filled with murderous intent. Seeing this, Bai Cheng's forehead began to sweat. It seemed that what had happened today would not end so easily.

"I hope the shopkeeper can tell me the specific compensation. As for whether compensation is possible, I need to know the specific price."

After hearing this, Wen Yuanning slowly said, "Let's calculate it. Take Xuefu Restaurant for example. The interior decoration and facilities cost a lot. In addition, the internal structure of the restaurant was severely damaged. The repair cost alone will be at least 1,000 silver coins. Add the damaged items, and let's say 500 silver coins. Fortunately, the floating stone platform was not destroyed. The medical expenses for the injured people will be at least 300 silver coins. I won't ask you to compensate for the losses during the restaurant's closure. The total cost will be 1,800 silver coins."

"What?! Eighteen hundred silver coins?!"

Bai Cheng was dumbfounded. All his possessions amounted to only thirty silver coins, and even then, Bai Cheng thought he was doing quite well. Eighteen hundred silver coins were something Bai Cheng couldn't even imagine at the moment.

After thinking it over, Bai Cheng looked around the restaurant. Then, gritting his teeth, he said, "Please grant me a few more days, manager. I don't have that much money to spare right now."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanning replied with a serious expression, "Give me a few days' grace? Hehe, that's fine. Go and raise the money, but this girl must stay as collateral. Even if you run away, this girl can be used as collateral."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng excitedly exclaimed, "No, Yue Ling can't stay! I'll stay!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanning narrowed his eyes as he looked at Bai Cheng: "You? You're just a mid-stage Body Refinement Realm martial artist, what use are you to me! If anyone's going to stay, it'll be that girl!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng felt extremely frustrated. He couldn't understand why things had turned out this way. Suddenly, he realized something and looked at Yue Ling in his arms, saying, "You must have added something to the food! Otherwise, why would Yue Ling be like this?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanning's face instantly contorted with rage: "You're talking nonsense! As the largest restaurant in Wuling Town, all our ingredients are inspected, and we check them again before serving each dish. How could there be a problem! Are you trying to shirk responsibility?!" As she spoke, she pointed at Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng replied, "I'm not shirking responsibility! I just have a suspicion, otherwise why would Yue Ling act this way!"

Then, Bai Cheng and Wen Yuanning began to argue. At this moment, Xue Liyun, who was on the floating stone platform, also felt that something was wrong. She then flew to the door of the private room where Yue Ling was and went inside to check.

Upon entering, she found eight girls lying on the dining table, seemingly fast asleep. Her eyes narrowed immediately, realizing something was amiss. She then went to the table to investigate. After examining the food, she found nothing wrong with it, and then picked up the only remaining pot of wine on the table.

She dipped her finger in the liquor and put it in her mouth. At first, she only felt a slight spiciness, but then a feeling of heat spread through her body, and her desire began to stir. Along with this came a sense of drowsiness. She instantly understood what was happening, then circulated her spiritual energy to dispel the strange sensations within her body before taking the liquor jug ​​and leaving the private room.

At this moment, Wen Yuanning was debating with Bai Cheng. If it weren't for the many people watching, especially Bai Muwan, he would have already defeated Bai Cheng.

At this moment, Xue Liyun walked over with a pot of wine. "Manager Wen."

Upon seeing this, Wen Yuanning also jumped off the floating stone platform and came to Xue Liyun's side. He picked up the wine pot, tasted the wine, and the effects of the aphrodisiac and sleeping potion instantly erupted in his body.

Then, his expression instantly turned serious. "What is this?!"

Bai Cheng, who was standing nearby, naturally saw this scene as well, and then said, "I knew it! There must be something wrong with your food!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanning turned around and stood in front of Bai Cheng, saying, "Regardless of the circumstances, it is an indisputable fact that Yue Ling caused a disturbance at the restaurant and injured people. No matter what, she must pay compensation!"

After saying that, he unleashed a burst of spiritual power from his entire body, attacking Bai Cheng. Bai Cheng immediately felt an immense, tangible pressure. Although this spiritual power did not attack, it was so overwhelming that he could hardly breathe.

Seeing this, Bai Cheng also said with a solemn expression, "Manager Wen, please rest assured, I will definitely compensate the restaurant for its losses, but Yue Ling's condition is currently unknown, and I must take her back."

"You're taking her back? What if you run away?"

After saying that, Bai Cheng frowned slightly and replied, "Please rest assured, shopkeeper, I am a student of Renhui Academy and I will not run away."

After saying that, Wen Yuanning burst into loud laughter: "Ha...ha...ha...Don't even mention your Renhui Academy, even if you were a student of Wuling Academy, it wouldn't work!"

Just then, Lü Liang shouted from the other side, "Then I'll vouch for Brother Bai Cheng!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanning also looked towards Lü Liang and the others. Then, Lü Liang shouted loudly, "As the young master of the Lü Family Escort Agency, shouldn't I be qualified to vouch for Brother Bai Cheng?"

"You? You won't do it either! Unless you pay the 1,800 silver coins right now, this woman must stay!"

After speaking, Wen Yuanning looked sharply at Yue Ling in Bai Cheng's arms. At this moment, a gentle voice came, "Since he can't do it, then I'll vouch for him."

Bai Muwan slowly walked over. Upon seeing her, Wen Yuanning slowly asked, "Miss Bai, what brings you here?"

Bai Muwan walked straight up to Bai Cheng and continued, "I'll vouch for him, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanning narrowed her eyes slightly and replied, "Of course there's no problem. Since Miss Bai insists on vouching for him, I can't say anything more."

After saying that, he came up to Bai Cheng and said, "I'll give you three months. If you can't pay it back after three months, I'll report it to the Supervisory Bureau and have this girl pay off the debt."

After saying that, he raised his hand to indicate that Bai Cheng could leave. At this moment, Bai Muwan continued, "Wei Ran, go and take them back."

“Yes, Miss.” After saying that, another guard behind Bai Muwan walked up to Bai Cheng.

"Let's go, young friend Bai Cheng." After saying this, Wei Ran led Bai Cheng out of Xue Fu Restaurant. Seeing this, Lü Liang and the others also left Xue Fu Restaurant.

At this moment, Yu Qing, who was standing to the side, asked, "Hmm? Where did Fu Qiran go?"

At this moment, everyone also realized that Fu Qiran had disappeared without anyone noticing.

As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, they saw a large crowd gathered around it. After seeing the Moon Bell on Bai Cheng's back, they began to discuss it.

Crowd #1: "Look, it's that girl!"

Crowd member #2: "Really? This girl is so young, yet she's a cultivator!"

Crowd Number Three: "That's right, it's this girl. She's amazing. She fought two cultivators all by herself."

Crowd Member #2: "But it looks like they've lost."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the throng became completely blocked. Just then, a group of officials from the government arrived from afar, pushing through the crowd to stand before Bai Cheng.

The leader, leading a group of over fifty guards from the government office, approached Bai Cheng and Wei Ran.

"We've been ordered to arrest the troublemakers. Come with me!"

Seeing this, Wei Ran stepped forward and said, "Prefectural government? Which prefectural government are you from? How dare you interfere in matters between cultivators? Don't you know that matters between cultivators fall under the jurisdiction of the Supervisory Office?"

After saying this, the captain in charge said, "We'll detain the cultivators first, and then report it to the Supervisory Bureau. How we do it is none of your business."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ran chuckled and said, "Ha...ha...ha...this is the first time I've ever heard of a government office being allowed to detain cultivators. Which government office are you from? The Censorate hasn't given any orders, how dare you do this?"

After speaking, Wei Ran clenched his fists, unleashing a surge of spiritual energy that sent all the guards from the government office flying. Those nearby were blasted more than ten meters away, and even some onlookers nearby were knocked to the ground. The captain in charge was also blasted away by the spiritual energy, landing face-first in the dirt.

Then, he stumbled to his feet and came to Wei Ran's side, saying respectfully, "So you are a cultivator. We were reckless. We are also guards from the Eastern Prefecture. We came here on orders from the Prefect of the Eastern Prefecture."

After hearing this, Wei Ran narrowed his eyes slightly: "Eastern Prefecture? It seems you're meddling in other people's business?"

After witnessing Wei Ran's imposing aura, the captain timidly replied, "We were just following orders. This has nothing to do with us, and we don't want to get involved."

Upon hearing An's words, Wei Ran coldly replied, "Go back and tell the prefect of the Eastern Prefecture that it is not his place to meddle in things that are not his business."

After saying that, he summoned a flying sword from his storage bag at his waist, which slowly grew larger and hovered above the ground. Then he turned his head and shouted to Bai Cheng, "Come on up!"

At this moment, Bai Cheng was in shock after seeing Wei Ran's actions. After hearing Wei Ran's call, he came to his senses with an "Oh" and then stood on the flying sword.

The flying sword then slowly ascended into the air and flew out of Wuling Town, leaving behind a large crowd of people discussing the matter.

At this moment, Yu Qing and the others left Xue Fu Restaurant, and Bai Muwan returned to his room in the top tier.

At this moment, Wen Yuanning was carefully examining the problematic wine, while Xue Liyun beside her pondered, "This wine has been laced with a large amount of sleeping potion and aphrodisiacs. There are also eight girls unconscious in the private room."

At this point, she suddenly remembered the man who had flown out of the private room earlier. She said, "Could it be the same person who fell down earlier?"

Wen Yuanning frowned upon hearing this: "You mean Fu Wenhao?"

As the manager of Xuefu Restaurant, Wen Yuanning had naturally heard the girls under her command often discuss Fu Wenhao. On the surface, he appeared to be a refined gentleman, but in private, he was utterly despicable. Recalling the way Fu Wenhao had run out with his pants up, she figured this pot of wine was probably related to him.

Just then, the door to the adjacent private room suddenly opened. A series of coughing sounds followed. "Cough...cough...cough...cough..." Xue Qin emerged, covered in soot, and looked around at the dilapidated surroundings, saying, "Is it over? Where are they? They didn't let them escape, did they?"

Seeing Xue Qin come out, Xue Liyun stepped forward and asked, "Xue Qin! Were you involved too?"

Upon being asked this question, Xue Qin glanced at the wine jug in Wen Yuanning's hand, noticing a faint red mark on it, and instantly understood.

So he argued, "I didn't do it, but I touched that pot of wine."
