Chapter 232: 127. Love at first sight with the small fox demon Su Mengyao! Unexpected promotion!_1
"Alright, let's get serious." Lin Xiao's gaze turned icy as he faced the matron. He spoke, enunciating each word clearly, "Our purpose for coming here is simple—we aim to redeem all the Semi-Monster prostitutes in the Spring Moon Building."
Upon his declaration, it wasn't just the matron and the prostitutes who were left shocked. Even the detached Fairy Hongling, who had been coldly watching the scene, was stupefied!
Xiao'er, have you gone mad? Why bring up such a matter out of nowhere? He's never mentioned it before, Xiao Hongling thought, about to voice her question.
However, a gentle, magnetic transmitted voice reached her ear, "Master, would you please arrange the redemption of these Semi-Monster prostitutes and wait for me at the door? I'll go meet that top courtesan, Yaoyao, alone. She is the most crucial person."
"Master, please trust me; the money spent is absolutely worth it! Besides, Elder Qi from our mountain has shares in Nightfall Town, so if you reveal your identity, you can even get a thirty percent discount!" Lin Xiao transmitted, his tone earnest as he held his Master's jade hand.
If this plan succeeded and Niu Batian from the Evil Extreme Sect submitted, the next step would be to expose Yuanyi's conspiracy and eliminate the Sky Yin Blood Demon along with the Eight Great Demon Sects before they could rise to power!
"Alright then! Since I was willing to accompany you to this kind of place, naturally, I trust you."
Xiao Hongling pondered for a moment and finally nodded. However, for some reason, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly withdrew her hand from her disciple's grasp.
After entrusting the matter of redeeming the Semi-Monster slaves to his Master and junior sister, Lin Xiao went straight to the room of the top courtesan, Yaoyao.
Just as he stopped, a heated exchange between a man and a woman inside reached his ears:
"Young Master Wu! Don't you know the rules? I... I only offer my skills, not my body! If you keep touching me... I... I'll scream!"
"Go ahead and scream! Scream your lungs out; no one will care! Tonight, I've decided I'm having you! Look around this Flower Moon House—who would dare interfere? AHAHAHA!"
Seeing the commotion inside escalating, Lin Xiao swiped his finger. Sharp and boundless Immense Sword Qi tore through the air, instantly cleaving the door in two!
He strode in and saw a man and a woman struggling together.
With the instinct of an old hand, his gaze immediately went past the man and fell upon the woman, who possessed stunning features and an enchanting figure.
She had a pair of fluffy animal ears, lending a foxy, seductive allure to her beauty. Additionally, she was scantily clad, with the curve of her chest faintly visible. Clearly, she was an extraordinary beauty, a true stunner in the mortal realm.
TSK, TSK, Su Mengyao is indeed a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. She naturally possesses a bewitching demeanor that is utterly soul-stirring.
I remember, in the original novel, Ye Chen, that old virgin, managed to control himself even in front of Martial Uncle Su, yet he almost succumbed to this little fox's seduction. Now, I'm the one who's encountered her. I wonder... am I capable of resisting this fox lady's allure? Lin Xiao mused.
"Who... Who are you!? How dare you ruin this Young Master's good time!" a roaring voice interrupted his thoughts.
Lin Xiao frowned slightly. Only then did he calmly glance at Wu Tianqi, the Young Master of the Manor of Divine Swords.
This man appeared to be in his early twenties, with a dandyish, well-groomed appearance, though his cultivation level was not low! He was actually at the peak of the Dharma Appearance realm, the same as Lin Xiao!
Of course, Lin Xiao was well aware. Cultivators like Wu Tianqi, scions of prominent families, typically reach their cultivation levels through an immense amount of family resources, akin to force-feeding crops to rush their growth. They appear strong on the outside but are hollow within, their achievements largely inflated.
In other words, even if they both possessed Mana at the peak Dharma Appearance realm, when compared to Lin Xiao's own Beiming True Qi—vast, boundless, and embodying both Yin and Yang—Wu Tianqi's True Yuan was like a block of tofu of the same volume: utterly incapable of contending.
As for a contest of Sword Dao... Please! He was the man who had inherited the legacies of two supreme Sword Dao experts of the current age: True Monarch Taiwu and Fairy Hongling! Even if the Manor of Divine Swords brought out their nearly-departed old ancestor, he wouldn't be a match for Lin Xiao!
Lin Xiao, who always preferred a cautious approach, concluded after this analysis that he should resolve everything with a single sword strike.
However, what he didn't expect was...
THUD!
Wu Tianqi seemed to sense the terrifying Sword Intent emanating from Lin Xiao. Knowing he was no match, he instantly dropped to his knees!
"Great Expert! This junior knows he is not your opponent!"
"If you have taken a liking to Miss Yaoyao, this junior will gladly offer her to you! All your expenses for tonight will be covered by me, Wu Tianqi!" Wu Tianqi added, his face plastered with a sycophantic smile as he groveled.
"Alright." Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Hurry up and get lost. Don't spoil my good mood."
"Right away! I'll get out of your sight immediately!" Wu Tianqi nodded with a sheepish grin and shuffled backward a few steps on his knees toward Lin Xiao.
The next second, a sinister glint flashed in his narrow eyes! Sword Intent flared and Mana surged through his body. He thrust out his index finger, angrily pointing it straight at Lin Xiao's face!
PFFT!
Following his pointing finger, an ethereal and incredibly treacherous beam of dark purple Sword Qi shot towards Lin Xiao's face!
Soul Eating Sword Qi, is it?
In that fleeting instant, Lin Xiao's mind became exceptionally clear, and countless thoughts flashed through it like lightning!
In the original novel, this ancestral secret art of the Manor of Divine Swords, the Soul Eating Sword Qi, was extensively described!
This set of Sword Techniques, somewhat similar to the Six Pulse Divine Sword from a certain low-fantasy martial arts novel in his previous life, required no verbal incantations and could be triggered with a mere flick of a finger.
The crucial difference, however, was that this Sword Technique didn't target the physical body but directly attacked the opponent's Divine Soul!
