Chapter 228: 127 Exciting! Taking Master to drink at a brothel! You don't want Yurong to know about that day, right? _2
"Moreover, you should know, I am over a hundred years older than you. In the Secular World, I'd already be considered an old woman on her last legs, whereas you're still in the prime of youth! Only young, beautiful girls like Yurong and her peers are suitable partners for you! Do you understand?"
By the time she finished speaking, tears were already welling in her phoenix eyes, and she hurriedly buried her head low.
"Sigh, Master is still being so stubborn. I suppose there's nothing more your disciple can say."
"You are the woman I respect the most. I will listen to you," Lin Xiao said with a bitter smile.
Although he spoke this way, in his heart, he was completely unwilling to give up!
Since I've decided to stay in this world, and I'm certain Master has feelings for me... If, in this lifetime, I can't hold hands with this beautiful woman, do the most... *naughty*... bah, the most romantic things, then even ascending to become an Immortal wouldn't be any fun!
From the current looks of it, if my partners were the three junior martial sisters, Master might feel jealous deep down but would outwardly accept it.
However, that last time at the celebratory feast by the pool on Bright Moon Cliff, Martial Uncle Su merely pressed her cheek against mine, and it provoked Master's thunderous rage, causing her to flip the table directly. Therefore...
Perhaps I can use Martial Uncle Su to make this woman (Master) clearly see her own heart and stop being so stubborn!
As this thought occurred to him, an extremely wicked plan formed in Lin Xiao's mind.
Martial Uncle Su, my apologies. It seems it's time for this martial nephew to find an opportunity to... fulfill my 'filial duty' to you.
Not wanting to argue with his Master any further, Lin Xiao nonchalantly returned to the carriage.
At that moment, he witnessed a sight he would struggle to forget for the rest of his life!
His innocent and lovely junior martial sister, Lu Yingying, looking as if she had stepped right out of a 2D manga, was slumped in her seat. Her beautiful, white-stockinged legs were spread apart, her captivating, watery eyes rolled upwards alluringly, her expression already somewhat undone!
And right below her was that Magic Treasure from the Hehuan Sect, a reward from the system!
My heavens. I was just kidding earlier, but this girl actually dared to use it!
Seeing the scene before him, Lin Xiao was simultaneously shocked and speechless, a pang of heartache mixed in!
After all, she was his most cherished junior martial sister!
How could he allow her to fall into such a state?
"Yingying, snap out of it."
Lin Xiao hurriedly picked up her petite body, placed her on his lap, then forcibly sent a stream of divine sense into the crown of her head, jolting her out of her dazed state.
"Eldest Senior Brother..."
A moment later, Lu Yingying's limpid eyes gradually refocused, as if she had come back to her senses.
Then, with a blushing small face, she burrowed into Lin Xiao's embrace, "BOO HOO HOO, Eldest Senior Brother, you're mean! And these strange Magic Treasures of yours are even meaner! BOO HOO HOO, Yingying almost got completely lost in it! But..."
She paused, licking her lips, and tiny hearts seemed to float in her beautiful eyes as if she were recalling something, "Yingying... quite liked it too."
PFFT.
Lin Xiao almost coughed up a mouthful of old blood.
He drew back the carriage curtain and peered outside.
His Master was concentrating on guiding the Spirit Steed, seemingly unaffected by the recent small incident.
He breathed a sigh of relief and, cupping his most beloved junior martial sister's exquisitely beautiful little face, said,
"Never mind, never mind, let's not say anymore. It was Eldest Senior Brother who wronged you. Let Eldest Senior Brother... take you for another go!"
"YAY! YAY! Yingying loves an Eldest Senior Brother like this so much, tee hee!"
Around the second watch of the night, after a two-hour bumpy ride, the master and her two disciples drove their carriage to Nightfall Town, about ten miles from Evil Wind Ridge.
Nightfall Town, much like Beacon City, was not governed by any secular dynasty or cultivator family. Nor did it pay tribute to the renowned sects of either the righteous or demonic paths for protection.
People from all walks of life congregated here. Countless cultivators, both righteous and demonic, concealed their auras and blended in with the common people, engaging in various less-than-legitimate business dealings. Despite its modest size, the town boasted gambling dens, brothels, taverns, theaters, a Spiritual Material Market, and various auction houses—it had everything. Rather than a small town, it was more like a large, neutral, and open marketplace.
The three of them—master and disciples—alighted from the carriage.
By now, they could already see cultivators in twos and threes, masked and dressed as commoners, entering the town gates.
"Xiao'er, Yingying, be careful," Xiao Hongling said, her phoenix eyes narrowing. "There... seem to be Demonic Cultivators around."
Although these Demonic Cultivators did their utmost to hide their auras, before her—a powerful master of the Divine Transformation realm—all concealment techniques were practically useless.
"Hah, Master, there's no need to be so cautious," Lin Xiao said with a shrug. "Didn't I mention earlier? This place is a melting pot for righteous and demonic paths, people from all walks of life. Not only are there legitimate businesses, but also black markets trading in 'Living Souls,' 'Human Puppets,' and 'gigolos.' In short, everyone here is a businessperson aiming to make a profit peacefully; the distinction between righteous and demonic doesn't matter much."
Xiao Hongling's delicate brow furrowed in disgust. "So, it truly is a vile place that harbors all sorts of scum." Then, as if realizing something, she asked, "Wait! Xiao'er, how... how do you know all this so clearly?"
Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged as he replied, "Master, have you forgotten? Elder Qi, the chief Guest Elder of our Qinglan Sect, is one of the largest shareholders in Nightfall Town. During the last Five Branches gathering, your disciple chatted with him briefly, and he even invited me to come and try my luck at the casino he runs here!"
"Oh, right." Xiao Hongling nodded; her impression of this Elder Qi wasn't bad.
