#239 - Chapter 239 Disposal

Hongmen Dungeon

A steady and domineering figure slowly walked towards the depths of the dungeon.

Gao Jin's family members from the Black Serpent Gang were all here. Cheng Feng planned to personally investigate to get to the bottom of things. When it came to controlling serpent hordes, Cheng Feng didn't believe Gao Jin wouldn't have revealed at least something to his family.

In the depths of the dungeon, the air was heavy, almost solidified. Every sound was amplified infinitely in this confined space. Cheng Feng's footsteps, though light, were exceptionally steady. Each step echoed through the dungeon, while the disciples behind him followed silently.

Torches flickered on the surrounding stone walls, casting mottled shadows, like eyes peering from the darkness, coldly observing this uninvited guest.

As they went deeper, an unspeakable chill crept into their hearts. At the end of the dungeon, a heavy iron door stood alone, its intricate chains revealing the extraordinary nature of what was imprisoned within.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Feng pushed hard. The iron door creaked harshly as it slowly opened, and a gust of musty, damp air rushed towards them. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp, scanning the world behind the door.

Inside a more gloomy prison cell, candlelight flickered weakly, barely illuminating a few scarred bunks and huddled figures in the corners.

Cheng Feng's gaze slowly swept across the prison cell, finally settling on the three women huddled in the corner.

Although their clothes were disheveled and their hair was scattered, even in such a miserable state, it was difficult to conceal their natural beauty. Their eyes held both fear and defiance, which couldn't help but evoke sympathy.

"Indeed, as the family members of Gao Jin of the Black Serpent Gang, if they didn't possess some beauty, how could they be worthy of his status in this Qingxi County?" Cheng Feng thought to himself, but then shook his head, reminding himself that now was not the time for such sentiments.

Beauty is often accompanied by danger, especially in these turbulent times.

He slowly approached, trying to make his tone gentle: "Ladies, I am Cheng Feng, the leader of another major gang in Qingxi County. I come with no malice. I only want to know if Gao Jin has revealed to you any secrets about controlling serpent hordes."

Upon hearing Cheng Feng's words, the women exchanged glances, their faces showing a hint of hesitation and confusion. They seemed to be contemplating whether to trust this strange man before them.

Just then, one of the older women took a deep breath and slowly stood up, bravely facing Cheng Feng. Her gaze was firm yet cautious, as if weighing whether she should trust this suddenly appearing man.

She was about thirty years old. In the light of the lamp, one could still see her alluring face. Her voluptuous figure could not be hidden by her messy clothes, and Cheng Feng felt a slight surge of heat looking at her.

"Gang Leader Cheng, although we are Gao Jin's family, in reality, we don't know much about him. He acts secretly on weekdays, and hides many things from us. As for the serpent horde control technique you mentioned, we have really never seen it," the woman said sincerely.

Cheng Feng's heart stirred slightly upon hearing her words. He nodded, indicating his understanding. After all, as the leader of the Black Serpent Gang, Gao Jin would naturally have some unknown secrets, which he likely wouldn't easily reveal to his family.

However, Cheng Feng's intuition told him that these women in this dungeon were not telling the whole truth. From their panicked eyes and slightly trembling lips, it could be seen that they were hiding some important information deep inside.

Perhaps, they knew more about Gao Jin's secrets, but chose to hide them out of fear or other reasons.

"Are you all Gao Jin's wives?" Cheng Feng confirmed again, his tone carrying a hint of respect and curiosity.

"Yes, I am Gao Jin's first wife, and these two are his concubines," the older woman replied again, her tone carrying a hint of imperceptible helplessness and strength.

Cheng Feng's gaze wandered among the three women. With the aid of the dim torchlight, he could see their respective beauties more clearly.

Gao Jin's first wife was gentle and dignified; one of the concubines had a cold face, exuding an otherworldly aura; the other was beautiful and charming, with gentleness and intelligence revealed between her brows.

Despite being in distress, their demeanor and temperament were still extraordinary, indicating that Gao Jin doted on them extremely.

"Ladies are all naturally beautiful. How can you live in such a dirty and broken dungeon?" Cheng Feng smiled slightly, his tone revealing an unquestionable determination.

"Men, take all three ladies to the Hong residence and treat them well. They need rest, and they need a safe place."

Upon hearing this, the three women's faces turned pale instantly. They glanced at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and unease.

In their days with the Black Serpent Gang, they had enjoyed honor and luxury, but they also knew the cruelty and ruthlessness of power. Cheng Feng's words made them wonder about his true intentions.

"Gang Leader Cheng, we..." The first wife hesitated, unsure how to respond to this sudden "kindness."

Cheng Feng seemed to see through their thoughts. He waved his hand gently, interrupting the first wife's words: "Madam, there is no need to worry. Although I, Cheng Feng, am not a saint, I know propriety, righteousness, and shame. I just feel that women like you should be treated better. As for the rest, you will understand when you arrive at the Hong residence."

After speaking, he turned around and instructed his followers, and then several subordinates stepped forward, respectfully inviting the three women to get up.

Although they still had doubts in their hearts, under the circumstances, they had no choice but to obediently follow them away.

At the moment they left the dungeon, a fiery glint flashed in Cheng Feng's eyes. He had already sunk this far, so what was there to hesitate about?

It wasn't that he was really bewitched by beauty, but that he, who came from another world, had a unique understanding and appreciation of Wei Wu's legacy.

In his opinion, these women were not just Gao Jin's wives, but also lives worthy of respect and care.

He believed that he could give them a better future, at least a temporary haven in this turbulent world.

Having a place to shelter from the wind and rain is always better than being alone and exposed to the elements!

Inside the Hong residence, in a carefully arranged courtyard, Gao Jin's three wives were bathing, with maids busily and orderly serving them.

Cheng Feng stood outside the door, and through the half-open doorway, he could vaguely see the figures of the three beauties in the swirling mist, and a fiery heat surged in his heart.

He knew that his behavior at the moment was somewhat inappropriate, but the impulse and curiosity deep in his heart were difficult to suppress.

With beauties before him, what if he played the role of Cao Cao once?

Cheng Feng always believed that what he ate into his stomach was his own.

Now that he had been fighting for so long, it was time to enjoy it!

Cheng Feng felt that his harvest was quite rich.

Even if he couldn't get the serpent control secret technique, wasn't there a more fragrant harvest here?
