Ya Fei thought for a moment, then gently said, "How about this? Why don't you stay here for the night? I'll cover all your meals. Tomorrow, come find me at the Mittel Auction House, how does that sound? As for your crystal, I've never seen anything like it before, so I can't just guess its value. We'll need a professional appraiser to take a look at it."
"No problem! Free food and a place to sleep—sounds great!" With such a sweet deal, Goku happily agreed.
"In that case, Uncle Dong, please prepare a premium room for this gentleman. Oh, I almost forgot—what's your name again?"
Before she could finish, Goku interrupted with a grin, "Sun Goku! Just call me Goku."
Ya Fei nodded and instructed, "Uncle Dong, set him up in one of our best rooms. Make sure he's well taken care of!"
"Yes, Miss Ya Fei."
Turning to Goku, Ya Fei added with a smile, "Then I'll see you tomorrow at the Mittel Auction House. I'll be waiting for you there." She handed him back the crystal and continued, "It's getting late—I should head back. Don't forget to come tomorrow!" She threw him a charming, soul-stirring look before gracefully gliding toward the side door.
As soon as Ya Fei left, the inn instantly buzzed with activity—but all eyes were on Goku. And all the commotion? It was because of her. Beauty is trouble, after all. But to Goku, trouble was never a problem. In fact, he welcomed it.
"Hey kid, looked like you were chatting up Miss Ya Fei pretty well just now. How about chatting with us too?" A burly man finally stepped forward, unable to contain himself, and glared provocatively at Goku.
"Oh? You guys want to talk?" Goku smirked. Without warning, he launched a kick that sent the man flying across the room, smashing into the wall with a thunderous crash. The impact left a gaping hole, and the guy shot off like a star, vanishing into the sky.
The crowd was stunned into silence by the sheer force of that strike.
With a confident grin, Goku turned to face the room full of stunned onlookers. "You worthless trash wanna fight? Then come at me—all of you."
His cocky tone and disregard enraged the adventurers, but the scene they'd just witnessed made their blood run cold. No one dared to meet his eyes. Heads dropped in silence. No one was foolish enough to provoke him again—Goku's power was undeniable. For small-fry adventurers like them, crossing someone like him would be suicidal.
"Hmph! A bunch of cowards," Goku said disdainfully, flashing a double middle finger at the crowd. "Weren't you all talking big just a moment ago? What, lost your nerve?"
To him, these people were nothing more than ants. Seeing they'd been thoroughly intimidated, he no longer felt the urge to beat them down.
Walking over to the front desk, Goku tapped on the counter. "Hey, where's my room?"
"Y-Yes, right away!" Uncle Dong quickly grabbed a ring of keys and called over a pretty maid. Leaning in close, he whispered seriously, "Take this gentleman to his room. Make sure to serve him well. No matter what requests he makes, do your best to fulfill them. I don't need to explain what kind of person he is, do I? If anything goes wrong, you know how serious the consequences will be."
"Y-Yes… I understand!" The maid's face paled. Uncle Dong's words felt like a death sentence.
"Please follow me, sir," the maid said respectfully, bowing to Goku before leading him upstairs.
As they left, the inn exploded into chatter.
"That… that was terrifying. I almost peed my pants when he shouted."
"You're such a wimp… but still, that guy's crazy strong. He kicked someone straight into the sky. Unreal…"
"Yeah, that strength… he's gotta be at least a Dou Wang, right?"
"Dou Wang? You're underestimating him—he's gotta be a Dou Huang!"
"A Dou Huang?! No way… A powerhouse like that showing up in Wu Tan City? Things are about to get interesting…"
In Wu Tan City, even a Dou Da Shi was a top-tier expert. A Dou Huang? That was practically a living legend. These people had limited experience, and to them, a Dou Huang was already the pinnacle of power.
"San Lang, come here. You saw what happened just now, didn't you? Go report this immediately…" Uncle Dong whispered to a young attendant, who nodded and dashed out of the inn. He wasn't the only one—others had already rushed to report the news to their own clans.
As Goku walked down the corridor with the maid, he flashed a relaxed smile. "Hey, pretty girl. What's your name? Don't be so stiff—I'm not one of those boring old geezers."
"M-my name is Xiao Xi, sir…" Though Goku spoke casually, Xiao Xi remained polite and reserved. As a proper maid, she didn't take his words to heart.
"Xiao Xi? That's a nice name. And you don't have to call me 'sir' all the time. Just call me Goku."
"It would be my honor, Lord Wukong," Xiao Xi replied, still as respectful as ever.
Goku shook his head with a sigh. This girl had clearly been trained into obedience. That killed any desire he had to flirt further.
When they arrived at his bright and luxurious room, Goku looked around, quite satisfied. He waved a hand at Xiao Xi. "You can go now. If I need anything, I'll call."
"Lord Goku… do you not require my service tonight?" Xiao Xi asked, face turning red.
Goku chuckled. "Nah, I heard what that old guy said. Don't take it too seriously—I'm a pure-hearted guy. I'm not into that kind of stuff. Just bring me some breakfast in the morning."
Xiao Xi blushed even harder, but also felt relieved. Still, there was a faint sense of disappointment. Maybe she felt it was a shame not to serve someone as powerful as him?
"Yes, Lord Goku. I live in the room next door—if you need anything, just call."
With that, she respectfully exited the room and shut the door behind her.
Goku looked around at the furnishings, then flopped onto the bed. As his thoughts drifted, the image of Ya Fei's alluring figure popped into his mind.
"What a born seductress… I'm really looking forward to seeing her again tomorrow." With a smirk, he closed his eyes. But after a few minutes, he rolled over and opened them again.
"Sigh… I'm so used to sleeping with a girl in my arms. Being alone feels weird." He wasn't planning to release Bulma or the others for now—doing so would only mess up his plans to flirt with more beauties.

The Next Morning
Goku woke up early and devoured the breakfast Xiao Xi had carefully prepared, shocking her into silence.
Seeing the table full of empty plates, Xiao Xi asked hesitantly, "Um… Lord Goku, would you like some more? If you're still hungry, I can go prepare more…"
"No need! I've got a date with your Miss Ya Fei—I can't be late! Clean this up, will you? I'm off to the Mittel Auction House!"
And with that, he vanished on the spot.
Xiao Xi was left standing there, stunned. The more she thought about it, the more admiration she felt. "Lord Goku is so down-to-earth… not like those other arrogant nobles. And he's strong too! I guess only someone like Miss Ya Fei is worthy of a man like him…"
Ya Fei was already up and about—always the diligent, capable woman. At the moment, she was still in her thin nightgown, having just gotten out of bed.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Goku appeared beside her, and his eyes immediately widened at the sight of her enchanting figure.
They stared at each other for a moment.
To his surprise, Ya Fei didn't scream or panic. Instead, she gave a flirtatious smile, subtly covering her chest as she calmly began to dress. "Well? What do you think of my figure?"
"Top-notch. No complaints!" Goku gave a thumbs-up with a cheeky grin. "But I didn't get a good look just now. Mind showing me again?"
Ya Fei's body froze for a moment before she rolled her eyes at him. This guy really had no shame! Of all the men she'd met, only Goku dared to talk to her like that.
She had already figured out what kind of person he was, so she quickly gave up on trying to flirt with him. Ya Fei was certain—if she made even the slightest seductive move, this man would definitely push his luck.
But what truly surprised her was how Goku had entered her heavily guarded chamber completely unnoticed.
'So the rumors from last night were true… This guy really isn't ordinary.'
"Well, since you're already here, follow me. Let's get that crystal of yours appraised," Ya Fei said, reigning in her usual charm just a bit. She had to—Goku didn't seem like someone who cared for rules or appearances, and a man like that was capable of anything.
---
Goku followed her into the appraisal hall. His eyes were filled with curiosity as he watched the expert currently examining another gem. He couldn't help wondering—just how valuable is this crystal, anyway? In his dimensional ring, these things were practically lying around like rocks.
After a long while, the appraiser finally approached them, visibly excited. His hands trembled as he held the blue crystal.
"Miss Ya Fei, this man was right. This truly is a rare and extraordinary gemstone. I've never seen anything like it before… But I'm certain—if it were used to forge a weapon, it would absolutely be on the level of a divine artifact!"
"Oh?" Ya Fei's eyes sparkled as she looked at Goku. She understood immediately—someone like him wasn't someone she could manipulate. Her only option was to leave a good impression. If she succeeded, the benefits down the road could be immense.
"In that case, what price do you think would be appropriate?" Ya Fei turned to the appraiser with a graceful smile. Every movement she made was effortlessly alluring.
"This is a rare treasure—any weapon forged from it could easily pierce through Dou Qi defenses and would be worth far more than even a Tier Earth-level Dou Technique! Frankly, it's beyond conventional monetary valuation… I wouldn't even know where to start," the appraiser said, hesitating.
He had initially considered lowballing Goku, but after hearing the rumors that Goku might be a Dou Huang-level powerhouse, he quickly tossed that idea aside. Building a relationship with someone of that level could mean unimaginable benefits for their entire family.
"I see," Ya Fei turned back to Goku, her smile radiant. "Then, Mr. Goku, do you have a price in mind? To be honest, this crystal is far too valuable—we really wouldn't know how to estimate it fairly."
"No need to make it so complicated. Just give me some money, that's enough. Of course, if you wanted to give me a kiss on top of that, I wouldn't say no!" Goku gave her a cheeky grin. Teasing beautiful women was one of his favorite pastimes.
As for the crystal? He didn't care at all. In his world, it was just one of countless materials lying around—useful, yes, but not rare. His dimensional ring was filled with crystals even more valuable than this one.
"That's really all you want?" Ya Fei narrowed her eyes, her expression becoming even more seductive. But deep down, there was a flicker of disappointment in her gaze. She'd thought Goku was different from the typical shallow man, but in the end, he seemed just as frivolous.
Naturally, Goku noticed the disappointment in her eyes. He was trying to build favor here—not lower it!
He quickly waved his hand and chuckled, "Alright, alright, I was just joking. Don't take it so seriously. Just give me a few million gold coins or whatever—it's yours. Think of the crystal as a gift."
"This… I don't know if that's appropriate…" Ya Fei frowned slightly. To her, Goku's nonchalant attitude seemed like he was trying to please her, which actually made her respect him a little less.
Goku could sense her emotional shift clearly. He almost wanted to cry. He really didn't care about the crystal—it was just a random gem to him. To someone from his world, a tasty meal was more valuable than this stone.
Different people, different perspectives. What was a priceless treasure to her was nothing more than a shiny rock to him.
"Heh heh~~ If you're interested in Ya Fei, I can make the decision to give her to you," came a sudden voice.
A dignified-looking middle-aged man entered the hall, flanked by two guards. The energy radiating from the guards marked them both as Dou Ling-level fighters, and the man himself was a Dou Wang.
Clearly, this was the person in charge of the Mittel Auction House—and he had come here specifically because of Goku.
Ya Fei's expression darkened instantly at his words. A flicker of sorrow passed through her eyes. She had always known that, as a beautiful woman, one day her family might trade her away for profit.
That was why she had worked so hard, hoping to gain enough value for herself to break free from that fate. And yet… she still couldn't escape it after all?
