The Linlang Empireâs territory was vast, divided into nine continents.
Of these, the three continents south of the Central Plains have been encroached upon by the Demonic path, while the remaining six continents are under the control of the imperial dynasty.
The Northern Region, located in the northern part of the Chengtian Continent, contained 18 cities and was a truly fertile and prosperous land.
Shu Shi and Cen Yiren flew along the shortest route with little rest, but it took them three days to reach the border of the Northern Region.
The size of the Nine Continents was evident.
Linfeng City.
The two people flew above the night sky, looking at the snow-covered city beneath their feet.
âFinally, weâre here.â
Cen Yiren looked a little tired.
Although she had spirit stones to replenish her spirit power and did not lack, she was mentally exhausted after traveling day and night for several days in a row.
But the arrogance in her bones made her steel herself and refuse to rest.
If Shu Shi could do it, why couldnât she do it?
From the bottom of her heart, she didnât want to be underestimated by this man.
Looking at her pale face, Shu Shi said, âItâs not far from Tianqu Mountain, and Iâm a bit tired, letâs find an inn to settle in first.â
Cen Yiren breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, âAlright.â
News of the foreign treasures coming out of Tianqu Mountain had spread throughout Nine Regions.
The Demonic path, Righteous path, Imperial dynasty, and scattered cultivators all rushed towards the direction of the Northern Region.
No one wanted to miss the opportunity, even if it was just a sip of soup.
The city was even more crowded, and cultivators with swords and knives could be seen everywhere.
They searched all the inns in the city, but not a single room was available.
Cen Yiren looked tired.
She wanted to take a hot bath and lie down on the bed for a good nightâs sleep.
But her mouth said, âActually, Iâm not that tired, so why donât we go outside the city and find a secluded place to meditate?â
Shu Shi ignored her and swept his gaze around.
Suddenly, he saw something and said with a smile, âCome on, Iâve found a good place.â
âHmm?â
Cen Yiren was a little confused.
But still, she followed him forward.
Seeing the brightly lit, luxurious and beautiful building in front of her, with the sound of laughter and the rich scent of oil and perfume coming from inside, the corner of Cen Yirenâs mouth twitched.
âIs this what you call a good place?â
Isnât this a brothel?
How dare this man take her to a dirty place like this!?
Shu Shi shook his head and said, âItâs just a place to rest, not as dirty as you think?â
âBut âŚâŚâ
Cen Yiren was still hesitant.
Shu Shi reached out, â Are you sure you donât want to come? Then I can come in and rest myself.â
Cen Yiren said helplessly, âOkay, but we agreed to stay and rest, donât even think about doing something silly.â
âDonât worry, Iâm not that kind of person.â
Shu Shi promised with his mouth full.
The two of them walked into the Spring Breeze Pavilion.
Looking around at the bright and strange scene, Cen Yiren spat darkly.
Although she was not afraid of heaven and earth, this was her first time being in such a place.
The heavily made-up pimp lady smiled as they entered and said enthusiastically, âHello handsome little brother, you look new here, itâs your first time here, right?â
Seeing Cen Yiren at the side, the pimpâs eyes were surprised.
Is it normal for someone to bring a girl to a brothel?
Shu Shi threw a gold bar and said, âI reserved two rooms upstairs, boil two buckets of hot water, and donât let anyone disturb us.â
Cen Yiren breathed a sigh of relief at his words.
âNo problem.â
The pimp smiled.
Although both were strange and odd, money was the master, and who would have a problem with gold?
âCustomers, please go upstairs.â
The pimp guided them towards the stairs.
At this moment, on the railing of the first floor, an extraordinary woman noticed Shu Shi and her pupils contracted suddenly!
So itâs her!
Shu Shi seemed to realize it.
He looked up, but only caught a glimpse of her back.
âŚâŚ
In the room.
Shu Shi sat on his knees, feeling the spiritual power flowing freely within his body.
It had to be said that purchasing the Heavenly Sutra was a very wise decision.
With twelve hours of uninterrupted cultivation every day, and with the blessing of a Holy-grade perfect talent, the realm increase could be described as a sudden leap forward.
Not long after he broke through to the Golden Elixir Realm, his cultivation was now completely solid and he was not far from the Middle Stage of the Golden Elixir Realm.
However, to maintain this level of cultivation, relying on the spiritual energy in the air alone was not enough and required the consumption of large amounts of spirit stones.
Fortunately, he had a good harvest in Yulin City, enough to sustain him for some time.
âSo it seems that being a Chief Disciple isnât bad, at the very least, I wonât lack spirit stones.â
Shu Shi cupped his chin and silently pondered.
Knock knock knock.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room, âMaster, the bath water is ready for you.â
âCome in.â
The door to the room was pushed open and two servants walked in carrying a bath bucket, followed by a young girl with a beautiful face.
âServant An Hondou, come to your service, Master.â
The woman bowed slightly.
The servants smiled and said, âThis is Flower Bath from Spring Breeze Pavilion, have a pleasant evening, Master.â
With that, they retreated.
Only the two of them remained in the room.
Shu Shi frowned slightly, âI donât remember ordering a girl.â
An Hongdou blushed slightly and said shyly, âThis servant saw you on the first floor and was attracted to you with just one look, I really couldnât help it, so I ventured to see you, I hope you wonât be offended.â
Shu Shi cupped his chin and nodded, âUnderstandable, after all, a man as handsome as me is indeed rare.â
An Hongdou hid her mouth and smiled lightly, her eyes flowing, âYour words are so funny.â
She walked behind Shu Shi, her slender jade hands massaging his shoulders and neck with just the right amount of force.
Shu Shi closed his eyes and looked like he was enjoying himself, âLetâs be clear beforehand, I have no money to give you.â
âTo be able to spend a night with a handsome man like you, this servant is even willing to pay you back.â
An Hongdou came to his ear, her voice tugging at his heartstrings, âI am a pure Yueji, but I want to comb for you.â
A Yueji sells her art, not her body. 1
The meaning of âcombingâ was the first time a woman in a brothel accepted a guest to sleep with her.
She was willing to give herself to Shu Shi.
âGood.â
Shu Shi appreciated, âWhether itâs your breath or tone of voice, the proportions are well mastered, and it seems like you have gone through rigorous training.â
âBut you still have two obvious glitches.â
An Hongdou froze at his words and said in confusion, âWhat does master mean?â
âYou have hidden your cultivation well, even I didnât see it at first, but you should never use charm techniques to lure me.â
âOther than that.â
Shu Shi smirked, âThose two servants have stayed at the door, Iâm afraid they are waiting for your signal, right?â
An Hongdouâs eyes changed.
âDo it!â
The dagger slipped from her palm and stabbed him like lightning!
But Shu Shi was even faster, grabbing her soft and boneless wrist with one hand.
âThis is a brothel, and youâre talking nonsense by saying you donât need money?â
Shu Shiâs smile was ice-cold, âYou think Iâm stupid?â
Crack!
The tendon ruptured and her slender arm was instantly broken!
