Chapter 230: 128. Lin Xiao's grand plan, seducing the top courtesan of the brothel! Ye Chen is courting death again! _1
"Shh, Master! Keep it low-key!"
Seeing his Master causing a commotion and attracting the attention of passersby, Lin Xiao quickly pressed a finger to his lips. "Master, to be honest with you, this Flower Moon House is critically important for our mission to subdue Niu Batian, the Sect Leader of the Evil Extreme Sect!"
"You don't actually think I want to come to a place like this to dally with women, do you?" he asked, a bitter smile on his face.
"Yes, that's exactly what I thought!" Xiao Hongling pouted, nodding emphatically. For a moment, her expression was surprisingly dazed yet adorable.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Everyone else might misunderstand me, but Miss Xiao, you watched me grow up. You should know the kind of person I am! Even if I wanted to indulge in some debauchery... I already have my hands full with the bevy of beauties around me. Why would I need to come to a place like this, full of rouge and powder?
"Eldest Senior Brother! Yingying believes you!" Lu Yingying declared firmly from the side, licking a freshly bought candied hawthorn stick.
"Well, thank you then." Lin Xiao chuckled, ruffling the young girl's hair. He then turned back to his beautiful Master and said softly, "Master, since we're already here, please trust me this once. How about this: you supervise me later. If I make any inappropriate moves, you can... cast me out on the spot?"
"Hmph, you said it yourself!" Xiao Hongling bit her lip, her phoenix eyes sweeping coldly over the row of brightly made-up prostitutes at the entrance. She gritted her teeth. "Fine, let's go! I'd like to see for myself what's so captivating about this place that makes men lose themselves in it!"
"Alright!" Seeing his Master agree, Lin Xiao and Lu Yingying high-fived.
「...」
After much persuasion from Lin Xiao, the noble and beautiful Master Hongling finally agreed to change into men's attire, concealing her eye-catching, snow-white legs.
"Well, well! You three gentlemen certainly exude an extraordinary aura. How do you plan to enjoy yourselves tonight?"
As soon as they stepped through the door, a stout madam, adorned with jewels and finery, greeted them with effusive enthusiasm.
Lin Xiao paused, noticing that this old madam made no effort to conceal her aura; instead, she openly displayed her Dharma Appearance realm cultivation level.
Furthermore, the cultivation technique she practiced was clearly from the Hehuan Sect lineage!
"Xiao'er, Yingying, this old madam isn't even trying to hide her Demonic Cultivator identity. Be careful, this could be a trap," Xiao Hongling quickly sent a voice transmission to her two disciples.
"Don't worry, Master. The cultivators who come here are all looking to make money or do business. There won't be any problems," Lin Xiao swiftly replied via voice transmission. "As I said before, just sit back and watch your disciple's performance."
With that, he patted the bulging Storage Spirit Pouch at his waist. From it, he retrieved a Top-Grade Spiritual Crystal, exquisitely crafted and brimming with spiritual energy, and deliberately flashed it before the old madam.
This gesture immediately caused a stir among the surrounding patrons and prostitutes!
One had to understand that in the Cultivation World, a single Top-Grade Spiritual Crystal was worth at least fifty thousand Spirit Stones!
And this young man, who sounded so youthful, clearly had many more!
He had to be the eldest disciple of a major cultivation clan or an inner sect disciple from one of the top-tier sects in the region!
Instantly, the prostitutes swarmed forward, each vying for attention with seductive displays, and surrounded the trio.
Hearing the cacophony of flirtatious voices around her, Xiao Hongling grew increasingly disgusted and pulled Lu Yingying to her side.
Lin Xiao, however, merely smiled and asked, "Madam, as you can see, this young master has plenty of money. Are the girls here... fresh?"
"Fresh! Fresh! Of course, they're fresh!" The madam's gaze was now entirely fixed on the Spirit Crystal in Lin Xiao's hand. She practically danced with excitement. "Dear sirs, please follow me to the VIP lounge on the third floor. We'll treat you to fine wine and delicacies, and then you can choose some young ladies for company. How does that sound?"
"Fine," Lin Xiao nodded.
Led by the madam, the three of them ascended to the third floor.
The entire way, the sounds of revelry between clients and prostitutes were incessant, the atmosphere thick with decadent sensuality.
Fearing his Master might lose her composure, Lin Xiao quickly whispered, "Master, patience! A little impatience can ruin great plans!"
Patience? The people here, men and women alike, are all so lewd and repulsive. I can't stand it for another moment! I wish I could raze this place to the ground right now! Xiao Hongling seethed, gritting her teeth.
Fortunately, she was wearing a mask. Otherwise, the sheer force of her glare would have been enough to send everyone on this floor scrambling for their lives.
Lin Xiao quickly moved to her side, gave her a brief hug, and said softly, "My dear Master, please trust your disciple this one time, can you?"
"Xiao'er, you..." She couldn't believe her disciple dared to be so familiar with her in public; Xiao Hongling was so embarrassed she was rendered speechless.
Beside them, Lu Yingying's eyes were narrowed in thought, as if pondering something deeply.
Each lost in their own thoughts, the three of them entered the private room.
Soon, as jugs of exquisite Immortal Brew were brought to the table, Xiao Hongling, who had been muttering her displeasure, finally smoothed her brow.
"Gentlemen, please take a seat. The young ladies will be here shortly!" the old madam said with a simper, then turned and clapped her hands.
Following her signal, a procession of women entered, each dressed in revealing attire, wearing heavy makeup, and moving with practiced sensuousness.
"Oh heavens! Eldest Senior Brother! That young lady with the pair of animal ears—she has a beast-like aura too!" Lu Yingying, who had been somewhat dazed, suddenly exclaimed, her Beastmaster senses tingling.
"Indeed. Among the prostitutes of Flower Moon House, many are hybrid descendants of ancient monster beasts. They are called Semi-Monsters. This... well, it could be considered a specialty of Nightfall Town, I suppose."
