Chapter 393: Joy Building
Xiao Yi had long left Spring Breeze Square and did not take the young master's words to heart.
At nightfall, Xiao Yi strolled around Spring Breeze City.
Eventually, he stopped in front of a brightly lit, luxurious building.
"Joy Building." Xiao Yi smiled faintly and walked in.
Of course, in reality, he had not yet taken a step.
Several young women with charming looks had already greeted him and invited him inside.
Indeed, Joy Building was a brothel, and furthermore, it was the leading brothel of Spring Breeze City.
Inside, it was all glittering gold and luxury, filled with a cheerful cacophony of song and dance.
However, after Xiao Yi sat down, only one moderately attractive woman came to serve him.
Indeed, those who came to Joy Building were all either rich or noble.
Either merchants or powerful figures from various factions within the city.
Or else they were the spoiled young masters from distinguished families.
These people, without exception, had bodyguards following them.
At the very least, they were accompanied by an attendant.
Only Xiao Yi had come in alone, appearing somewhat out of place.
"Young master looks somewhat unfamiliar, is this your first time at Joy Building?" the woman beside him asked sweetly.
As she spoke, the woman wrapped her arm around Xiao Yi's.
Beneath her revealing clothes, large areas of skin pressed close to Xiao Yi without any obstruction.
In her eyes, Xiao Yi might not be any powerful or important figure.
But his handsome and charming face, combined with his transcendent aura, made her heart flutter.
The thought of spending the night with him filled her with seductive desire.
Xiao Yi furrowed his brows and sipped his wine, asking, "When does the auction for the top courtesan start?"
The woman beside him was taken aback, then covered her mouth with a light laugh.
"So the young master came for Miss Meng Luo?"
"However, the price to have Miss Meng Luo attend your bed is quite high."
"I'm afraid the young master might..."
At that moment, noticing Xiao Yi's frown, she quickly said, "Young master, please don't be angry."
"This servant meant no offense."
"It should be just the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before the auction starts."
"Hmm." Xiao Yi nodded, took out several silver notes, and said, "No need to keep me company."
"I will sit alone."
The woman received the silver notes, her face lit up with joy, but then she felt a twinge of sadness.
In her mind, it was because Xiao Yi did no find her attractive.
The time it took to brew a cup of tea flew by in an instant.
A middle-aged woman dressed provocatively swayed over.
"Esteemed guests, the moment you've all been looking forward to tonight has arrived."
"Whoever will have the honor of Miss Meng Luo attending their bed tonight depends on your own capabilities."
As the middle-aged woman finished speaking.
A woman clad in fine silk, amidst enthusiastic calls, came out.
The woman was veiled, hiding her face.
But according to rumors, those who had the fortune of spending a night with her and lifted her veil were completely enraptured, never to forget that moment for the rest of their lives.
Miss Meng Luo was the star courtesan of Joy Building.
She was also the most dream-inducing and captivating person in Spring Breeze City.
"One hundred thousand taels." Immediately a wealthy merchant bid, with a lecherous smile on his face.
"Two hundred thousand taels."
"Five hundred thousand taels."
"Eight hundred thousand taels."
In just a short time, the price soared to eight hundred thousand taels, astonishing onlookers.
At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up and domineeringly said, "One million taels."
"Miss Meng Luo, tonight you belong to Li Batian."
"Li Batian?" Many people present immediately showed a look of wariness.
Li Batian, the captain of the Domineering Demon Hunting Team, himself at the Sixth Layer of the Mystic Breakthrough Realm.
In the Spring Breeze City area, he was a very well-known Demon Hunter.
"Hmph." Just then, another young master stood up.
"Two million taels, Miss Meng Luo is mine tonight."
The young master's words caused a stir among everyone present.
"Isn't that the Eldest Young Master of the Zhou Family, one of the Three Great Families of Spring Breeze City?"
Many people started whispering among themselves, no longer daring to bid.
"Heh heh." The Eldest Young Master of the Zhou Family chuckled with satisfaction, "It seems Miss Meng Luo, tonight you will be mine."
"One hundred million taels." Suddenly, a faint voice sounded.
"What?" Everyone present was startled, their gazes rapidly turning toward the person who made the bid.
It was Xiao Yi.
"Kid, what did you say?" The Eldest Young Master of the Zhou Family glared angrily.
The voluptuous middle-aged woman furrowed her brows and spoke directly, "The young master isn't joking, is he?"
"You must know that in my Joy Building, the rules are to pay upfront in cash, no credit allowed."
One million taels of silver, it's not a lot but also not a little.
For an average Mystic Breakthrough Realm Martial Artist, this was virtually their entire fortune.
Moreover, for pleasure-seeking in a brothel, this was an exorbitant price.
Xiao Yi chuckled and took out a stack of silver notes, casually tossing them to the middle-aged woman.
A large stack of silver notes, each worth ten thousand taels, added up to well over a million taels.
The middle-aged woman took it, and her attitude changed instantly.
Xiao Yi smiled faintly and said, "Considering Miss Meng Luo's worth, one million taels, it's still a fair price."
"Furthermore, I may not just want Miss Meng Luo's company for one night."
The middle-aged woman immediately beamed, thinking that Xiao Yi meant he would come to find Miss Meng Luo every night.
The surrounding women of Joy Building instantly showed faces full of regret.
Had they known earlier that this handsome young master was so wealthy, they would have attended to him properly.
Who knows, he might have taken a liking to them.
Xiao Yi casually walked towards Miss Meng Luo and said, "If no one else makes an offer, then Miss Meng Luo can leave with me."
The middle-aged woman chuckled and said, "Young master, there's no need to be in such a hurry."
"Joy Building has already prepared a private room for the young master."
"That's very good," Xiao Yi said with a light smile.
…
Upstairs in Joy Building, within an opulently luxurious room.
The meticulously arranged table was filled with fine wines and delicacies.
Accompanied by a beauty, one was sure to spend an enchanting night.
Xiao Yi sat at the table with a faint smile on his face.
Beside the bed, Miss Meng Luo slowly came over, "Young master, let me help you change your clothes."
Her slender hands rested on Xiao Yi's shoulder.
Xiao Yi gave a slight shrug, shaking off those hands and said, "Miss Meng Luo, you must be tired, there's no need to trouble yourself."
"Young master jests," Miss Meng Luo laughed lightly. "I have not yet served you, how could I be tired?"
Xiao Yi smiled faintly and said, "During the day, the lady has to go to Spring Breeze Square to be that gentle and lovely qin-playing Miss Sisi."
"At night, you must come here to Joy Building to be the charming and irresistible Miss Meng Luo."
"Hehe, how could you not be tired?"
"By the way, should I call you Miss Sisi or Miss Meng Luo?"
Miss Meng Luo's eyes flashed with surprise for a moment.
But that surprise quickly faded, returning to normal.
"I really don't understand what the young master is talking about," Miss Meng Luo said, shaking her head earnestly.
"I think, the young master didn't throw away a fortune tonight just to give me a hard time."
"Rather, it's to share the beauty of a good hour."
"If the young master does not wish for me to help you change, perhaps I could keep you company over a drink, to add a bit of mood?"
Xiao Yi sneered inwardly, but his facial expression remained unchanged.
The woman in front of him, always veiled, could not hide her presence from him.
Meng Luo and Sisi were definitely the same person.
"A beauty beside me, of course, I'm willing to share a drink," Xiao Yi suddenly grabbed Meng Luo in his arms.
Holding her slender waist, a fragrance immediately enveloped him.
Meng Luo's lithe figure leaned against him on his legs, feeling feather-light.
"Hehe," Meng Luo instantly smiled like a blooming flower, "It seems the young master is in the mood..."
Xiao Yi interrupted her, "A beauty beside me, I'm willing to share a drink."
"But, it's even better if the wine doesn't contain Soul-hooking Poison Liquid."
Soul-hooking Poison Liquid, a Peak Fifth-grade Elixir, was made by steeping Soul-hooking Poison Pills.
It was capable of enchanting the mind and confusing one's thoughts.
Xiao Yi kept his smile and continued, "I'm afraid those who supposedly spent a lovely night with the lady."
"After drinking this cup, they all went off to have sweet dreams and never got the chance to get close to the lady."
Saying this, Xiao Yi hugged Meng Luo even tighter and whispered in her ear.
"The lady must be a stunning beauty; it's difficult for me to contain my feelings."
"However, the joy of a night's romance while someone else is watching, wouldn't that spoil the fun?"
In his senses, there were at least five sentinels outside this room, all of them Mystic Breakthrough Realm Martial Artists and above.
Meng Luo's face visibly changed when she heard this but then she feigned composure and said, "I find it harder and harder to understand the young master's words."
"Still playing coy?" Xiao Yi's face suddenly turned cold.
"Do you think I've come to Spring Breeze Square and Joy Building today for nothing?"
"For several months in a row, anyone who has visited these two places has mysteriously disappeared."
"Including some Martial Artists with profound Cultivations."
"Although I don't know how you manage to escape suspicion, you definitely can't be uninvolved."
"Besides, with your Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Cultivation, you're not likely here to sing for your supper."
