Fragrant Flower Pavilion, Back Courtyard.
There was a garden here, filled with lush trees. And as for why a brothel would have a garden…naturally, it was to cater to those who enjoyed a bit of “outdoor exploration”.
As Chu Feng walked along the path, he could faintly hear seductive moans coming from nearby.
The moral fabric of society is crumbling! How shameless!
… But he kind of wanted to go take a peek.
As for why Chu Feng was here, of course, it was because Senior Sister Yuyan had dragged him along.
It started like this.
“Mister, this humble one sees you’ve been standing here for quite a while. Haven’t found a lady who catches your eye yet?”
Yet another seductive woman approached him.
“Ahem, we’re only here to investigate. Not for any other activities. Besides, I’m a proper gentleman!”
Chu Feng responded with a serious expression. Of course, if Senior Sister Yuyan weren’t standing right there, he might’ve already agreed to spend a romantic night chatting under the moonlight with one of the ladies.
“Fufufu~ Sir, you must be joking. Men who come here all claim to be gentlemen. But once they enter a private room… well, their hands move faster than their words.”
The seductive woman chuckled while eyeing the young man before her. His youthful innocence made him quite the hot commodity around here.
“How about… this humble one helps you, sir…”
Just as the seductive woman leaned in close to Chu Feng, a cold, piercing gaze suddenly froze her in her tracks.
In that instant, it felt as if the blood in her body had frozen solid.
The owner of that icy gaze was none other than the veiled woman. Her eyes were even glinting with a trace of killing intent.
The seductive woman froze and her expression stiffened. Knowing this was not a good time or place to linger, she was just about to leave when the veiled woman spoke:
“Wait. Is there a quiet place around here?”
And so, the seductive woman recommended this location.
At this moment, Chu Feng was silently complaining in his heart: Quiet place? What kind of “quiet” is this? All I hear are seductive moans and the rustling of grass… It’s hard not to let the imagination run wild.
Before arriving here, Chu Feng had even seen three men following behind a cat demon girl. Tsk tsk, seems like everyone here’s a kindred spirit. Truly admirable…
After enduring the torment of the garden, Chu Feng reached the second floor, pushed open the door… and was immediately shocked.
Damn, this is way too luxurious!
The first thing that caught his eye was an enormous pool. He couldn’t tell whether it was a swimming pool or a bath.
Incense burners around the room sent up wisps of pleasant smoke. It smelled lovely, but… why was there a growing heat inside his body!?
Seeing her junior brother’s flushed face, Bai Yuyan waved her delicate hand. In an instant, all the incense burners were extinguished.
“Junior Brother, don’t breathe in too much.”
After the incense was put out, the heat in Chu Feng’s body gradually subsided.
“Senior Sister Yuyan… why did we come here?”
Chu Feng asked in confusion. Earlier, when he left with Senior Sister Yuyan, Liu Zhitong had seen them. When Chu Feng glanced at him, he saw envy and jealousy all over Liu Zhitong’s face…he was definitely misunderstanding stuff!
He should know…. I really respect my Senior Sister!
“After such a long journey, of course I wanted to help you relax~”
After entering the room, Bai Yuyan removed her veil, revealing an incredibly beautiful face. The smile on her face was so captivating that it felt like time stood still just looking at her.
Relax? More like panic!
Chu Feng’s current situation was that he was alone in a room with a beautiful, single woman… and they were inside a brothel, no less. Honestly, his thoughts were already starting to stray.
Noticing how her junior brother avoided looking directly at her, Bai Yuyan’s lips curved into a smile. This was exactly the effect she wanted.
At such a special place and time, with this kind of suggestive atmosphere, she could definitely leave a deep impression on her junior brother. Slowly but surely, she’d win his heart. And once that happened…hehe, the deal with Master? She’d tear it up without hesitation.
After all, what was the point of a deal if not to be broken later?

“Hmph! Kid, what’s your name?!”
A young man in red robes appeared before Lin Ruo. He was exuding a sinister and eerie aura.
Today was the first public appearance of the courtesan queen, who would choose a guest to spend the night with. The young man had been full of confidence.
But who would’ve thought that this kid before him would completely steal the spotlight?
“Lin Ruo.”
Lin Ruo toyed with the wine cup in his hand, then downed it in one gulp.
Seeing that Lin Ruo didn’t take him seriously at all, the young man burst into angry laughter.
“Good, good, very good. It’s been years since I Chen Feng last made a move, and now someone dares to look down on me like this!”
Chen Feng!
Off to the side, Liu Zhitong was startled when he heard that name.
A notorious figure from the demonic path. The Demon of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect. Over ten years ago, he had already broken through to fourth-rank cultivation, and ever since, he had stayed hidden within the sect, not showing himself again.
So many years had passed. By now, even if he wasn’t at the fifth rank, he had to be close.
And Lin Ruo? He was merely a first-rank disciple! How could he possibly dare provoke this kind of monster?
Back then, this guy had fought two genius disciples from the righteous path single-handedly and held his own.
He didn’t just enjoy killing. He took pleasure in skinning people alive, extracting tendons… his cruelty knew no bounds.
And yet, facing the bloodthirsty aura pouring from Chen Feng, Lin Ruo didn’t back down in the slightest. Instead, he said calmly,
“You lost because your skill is inferior. How is that my fault? I beat you fair and square. What now. Since you couldn’t best me in words, you want to use brute force to make me submit?”
As soon as he finished speaking, several members of the righteous path began voicing support for Lin Ruo.
Of course, those from the demonic path immediately stood behind Chen Feng.
In an instant, what was once a contest to win the courtesan queen had escalated into a brewing showdown between the righteous and demonic factions.
“Brother Lin, maybe you should stop talking. If you keep provoking this guy, we’re definitely going to end up fighting today.”
Liu Zhitong whispered quietly to Lin Ruo. The current situation was like a powder container. It was just one spark away from exploding.
It didn’t matter whether Lin Ruo or Chen Feng struck first. The moment anyone made a move, chaos would break out.
“You’ve got guts, I’ll give you that. You’ve successfully stirred up conflict between the righteous and demonic paths. But do you think that means I won’t dare kill you?!”
A cold gleam flickered in Chen Feng’s eyes. The next moment, just as he was about to strike—
“Silence! This is the Great Yan Empire. Not a place for the righteous and demonic factions to brawl!”
A Dragon-Phoenix Guard stepped forward, raising the token in his hand. Just moments ago, the two sides had been ready to clash, but now, both the righteous and demonic cultivators backed down.
There was no choice. A Dragon-Phoenix Guard had shown up. Though he was only third-rank in cultivation, attacking him was no different from slapping the face of the Empress of Great Yan herself. The consequences would be severe.
Now that the Dragon-Phoenix Guard had stepped in, well then….let the music continue, and the dancing resume!
“Hmph! Consider yourself lucky, kid!”
Chen Feng cast a dark, cold glance at Lin Ruo. Once they were out of Fragrant Flower Pavilion, he’d have all the time in the world to kill him. Just a measly first-rank cultivator. He had nine different ways to finish him off!
“Whew—”
Seeing Chen Feng leave, Liu Zhitong let out a breath of relief. He took a glance at Lin Ruo beside him and couldn’t help but think:
The rumors within the sect were true….this guy is nothing but trouble. Best to stay far away from him.
Under the table, Lin Ruo quietly put away a blue talisman. If Chen Feng had actually tried to make a move just now, he would’ve activated it for a sneak attack!
Even with fourth-rank cultivation, at such close range, a surprise attack would definitely have landed a hit.
The kind of person who could force Lin Ruo to back down had yet to appear!
Now that his goal of joining the Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect was accomplished, Lin Ruo’s eyes were already on a certain treasure within the sect….it was something he had long coveted. If he could get his hands on it, he’d be able to look down on the entire cultivation world!
