Vol.1 - Chapter 144 – Yang Qian huan

The good atmosphere was instantly destroyed. The courtesans put away their smiles and turned into a female army ready for battle. Despite their blushing faces and charming figures, they were not going to give in easily.

"Since Xu Lang has come to my Qingchi Pavilion today, I will be so bold as to offer him a place to rest. I hope the sisters can accommodate him."

Would the courtesans accommodate him? Of course not!

There was no sisterhood in the Official Brothel Sector, and if there was, it was artificial. To become a courtesan from an ordinary woman, they had to put in a lot of effort and sweat, as well as show their smoothness and intelligence in dealing with things. They had to be daring and willing to fight to not easily lose.

For Xu Qi'an, this was an opportunity. It was too dangerous for the courtesans to stay here any longer. As long as he made a move, with the shaking of his qi, everyone would die.

And the warriors were just violent and straightforward, without so many fancy spells.

To be honest, I quite enjoyed the feeling of the Nine Yin Scriptures... I guess the goddesses of my past life also felt the same when they kept backup lovers... Xu Qi'an coughed and looked at the women:

"Miss Mingyan has shown me great hospitality, so I will rest here tonight. Ladies, please go back first, and I will visit each of you another day as promised."

Words spoken by a man at a drinking table were just like those spoken in bed, they could not be trusted.

But since the main character had spoken, what else could they do? This kind of thing could not be forced.

Only Fu Xiang looked at Xu Qi'an with a sad expression, on the verge of tears. "Xu Lang..."

Although Xu Qi'an was stubborn, his heart was soft. He had intended to ignore her and drink his wine, but seeing her pitiful appearance, he said unkindly, "You go back first, and I will come find you tomorrow."

Fu Xiang looked deeply at him, covered her face and cried, running out.

The courtesans all said their goodbyes.

Mingyan, the courtesan, was overjoyed and got up shyly, saying, "It's getting late, Xu Gongzi, please follow me."

...

Entering Mingyan's boudoir, there was smokeless beast charcoal burning and sandalwood wafting. Compared to Fu Xiang's elegant room, this one was even more magnificent.

The demon woman bowed to Xu Qi'an and obediently said, "This servant will attend to the gentleman's bath."

"You can rest, I dare not let you attend to me..." Xu Qi'an shook his head and looked at Mingyan, "When I was at the Shadow Plum Pavilion, it was Fu Xiang who attended to me."

Bath together? As a courtesan, Mingyan had never had this experience before, and for a moment, she was both shy and embarrassed.

Biting her silver teeth, she said softly, "He'er, I'll come and attend to Xu Gongzi."The fragrant mandarin duck bath ended, Xu Qi'an put on his robe and white silk pants, cursing in his heart: "Where the hell is Song Tingfeng? He still hasn't come?"

"Master Xu, what are you waiting for?" Ming Yan was curled up in her quilt, a little unhappy.

As a woman, there were some things she couldn't say out loud, otherwise it would make her seem like a dissatisfied... But there was no other way. She had never seen a man come into her room, wipe his knife for fifteen minutes, and drink tea for another fifteen.

She had even warmed up the bed for him. If he didn't come soon, she would just fall asleep.

"The night is long, there's no need to rush. I'm thinking about some things," Xu Qi'an said, pretending to be profound.

He glanced at the enchantress out of the corner of his eye. If the enemy didn't move, he wouldn't move. If the enemy dared to move, he would give her a knife.

Just as he was thinking this, Xu Qi'an suddenly felt dizzy and mentally exhausted, as if he hadn't slept in three days. His eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

He had been poisoned... His heart skipped a beat as he looked at Ming Yan, the courtesan, and found that she had fallen asleep without a sound.

"What are you waiting for, Master Xu?" a soft laughter came, and the serving girl who had previously been humble and obedient seemed to have changed.

Her gaze was seductive and aggressive, staring straight at him.

"Who are you, and why did you poison me? I have no grudges or grievances with you. Poisoning a Nightwatcher is a serious crime," Xu Qi'an pretended to be panicked and spoke out to test her.

"Of course, I'm waiting for Master Xu," the serving girl giggled, her pretty face now adding a touch of seduction.

"Me?" Xu Qi'an was confused.

He secretly adjusted his breath, but the Qi in his dantian was thick like honey and couldn't be mobilized. His limbs were weak and powerless.

Damn it, that brat Song Tingfeng has done this to me!

Based on his trust in the Nightwatcher's yamen, he chose to stay behind and not miss this opportunity to catch the demon woman. But now it seemed that Song Tingfeng must have encountered some trouble. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long for the Official Brothel Sector and the yamen to make several round trips.

It didn't make sense to wait until now.

"The night is long, the lady has already slept, let this servant take care of Master Xu," the serving girl walked slowly towards him, taking off one piece of clothing with each step.

She wants to take advantage of me! Xu Qi'an was shocked.

This was not a good thing. After joining the Nightwatchers for so long, he had accumulated experience and knowledge quickly, and knew that many female demons were good at harvesting men, turning them into medicine dregs.

The fate of medicine dregs was usually death."Where did she use the poison, sandalwood? Wine? I don't know much about poison, but that's not the key issue... The real key is that she had already prepared methods to deal with me... I came to the Official Brothel Sector today purely on a whim, she shouldn't have known..." Xu Qi'an didn't understand.

When the demoness approached within three feet of Xu Qi'an, a sharp light suddenly burst from his eyes, settling all his emotions.

Clang!

The black-gold long knife was unsheathed, and a thin blade of light lit up in the room before flickering out.

Xu Qi'an didn't look at the result, he used his remaining strength to run wildly, rushing headfirst towards the window.

He wanted to make a commotion to attract attention from outsiders and make the demoness fear the trap.

Plop... Xu Qi'an fell heavily to the ground, his foot tripped on something.

It was a long, thick, grey tail, furry like a fox's.

Xu Qi'an turned to look, and the maid's figure had already disappeared, leaving behind a paper man sliced in two.

"Shoo..." A wet tongue licked his face, inch by inch, as Xu Qi'an turned his head, seeing the maid had appeared behind him, seemingly out of nowhere.

Her pupils turned amber, looking at him like prey, her tongue skillfully licking his face.

"You have such vigorous blood, just smelling your scent makes me unable to resist," she said, telling the truth because Xu Qi'an saw her appearance and had a physiological reaction.

For the first time, Xu Qi'an felt disgusted with a woman. His body stiffened, and the sense of crisis made him extremely anxious.

Half of the power he had just burst out was due to the stimulation of his potential, and half was because he had chewed a powerful pill hidden under his tongue.

He wanted to give the demoness a surprise attack, but underestimated her strength.

What should he do now? Shouting and yelling would undoubtedly get him killed immediately.

Rolling with force? After all, even immortals can't roll every day... Or disgust her with a lump of fragrant golden soil...

The demoness smiled and reached out her finger, cutting Xu Qi'an's silk pants... Just then, her expression suddenly changed, looking towards the side and shouting, "Who!"

"You don't need to know who I am, because anyone who knows my name is already dead."

A black shadow appeared in the room at some point, facing away from the two, dressed in white like snow.

The demoness let out a low growl from her mouth, baring her teeth and rushing towards the window to escape.

Bang...

She slammed into an invisible wall of energy, bouncing back.

"How pitiful." The white-clad man shook his head, sighed, and said sympathetically.

Then, he snapped his fingers, and the array under his feet spread out, enveloping the demoness.1. 你们的头领是谁?

2. 你们在京城还有哪些势力?

3. 你们为什么要炸毁桑泊?"

妖女沉默了片刻,突然嘶吼一声,身上的锁链瞬间崩断,她挣脱束缚,向窗户冲去.

"不好!"许七安大喊一声,想要追上去.

"没事,她逃不了."杨千幻抬手一指,一道金光射向妖女,将她击落在院子里.

妖女瘫倒在地,再也站不起来.

"你们先把她押到牢房里,等我回来再审问."白衣男子命令道.

"是!"许七安和杨千幻同时答道.

白衣男子转身离去,留下许七安和杨千幻在院子里。

"这位杨前辈果然厉害啊."许七安感叹道。

"当然了,他是监正座下的三弟子,修为高深."杨千幻自豪地说。

许七安点点头,心中暗自下定决心,要不断提升自己的实力,成为像杨千幻这样的高手。"The first question, since the seal has been released, why did you still order Heng Hui to cause trouble, kill Pingyuan Earl, and attack the Ministry of War at night?

"The second question, who is the person you are cooperating with?

"The third question, why target me?"

The demoness hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I don't know the answer to the first two questions. I am undercover in the capital and follow orders. I don't know anything else.

"As for targeting you, I received orders not long ago. As long as Xu Qi'an enters the Official Brothel Sector, find a way to kill him."

The man in white did not speak. Xu Qi'an frowned. So the demon race hidden in the Official Brothel Sector is this demoness... The order was to kill me to silence me because I am getting too close to the truth of the case, so they plan to eliminate the threat and get rid of me from the root?

At least there was some gain. Heng Hui was indeed the breakthrough point in this case.

"The last question, is Ming Yan involved in this?"

The demoness sneered, "I would like to say yes... "Electric arcs crackled as she spoke. Her face changed dramatically, and she shook her head. "She knows nothing."

"Elder, I'm done asking." Xu Qi'an said.

Can I keep this demoness as my merit... he thought to himself. Then he heard the man in white say, "Good, this demoness is my merit, I will take her away."

Ah? No, aren't you a master? This answer is not what I expected... Xu Qi'an replied somewhat dazedly, "Uh, okay. Also, are there any other demon races lurking here?"

"When I arrive, even the mountains and seas of blades will turn into a paradise." Yang Qianhuan said arrogantly, "The Official Brothel Sector is very safe."

Although he felt that this guy's brain was a bit abnormal, his strength was not to be underestimated. Xu Qi'an nodded reassuringly.

"Lower your head for two breaths." Yang Qianhuan suddenly said.

Xu Qi'an looked confused and did as he was told. Two breaths later, he raised his head and found that the man in white was gone.

After checking that Ming Yan, the flower courtesan, was breathing and had a normal heartbeat, Xu Qi'an left Qingchi Courtyard, his mind filled with a question: why did he have to lower his head for two breaths?

Dragging his tired body, Xu Qi'an entered the Fu Xiang Chamber and was led to the master bedroom, where he saw Fu Xiang with tears in her eyes.

The courtesan sat on the edge of the bed, turned her body to the side, and looked away.

Xu Qi'an glanced at her and didn't bother to explain. He lifted the quilt and went to sleep.

He didn't want to stay at Qingchi Courtyard anymore, and it was too late to go back at night, so he could only rest at the Fu Xiang Chamber.
