Xihe received two days of "training" and on the third day he was taken to a room where several young women were standing.
Each of them had fairy-like appearance and stunning beauty. The lowest level of cultivation was the seventh level of Qi training. They all looked at the man in the first place with expectation.
This man, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, looked like a manager. He didn't mind the madam's flattery and looked the women up and down. He nodded when he saw the first few, but when he saw Xihe, he frowned in displeasure: "Why are there mortals here?"
The madam flattered him, "Sir, I saw that this girl is very pretty, so I thought of bringing her here for you to see. If you are not satisfied, I will take her away right away."
The steward said disdainfully: "No matter how beautiful your appearance is, if you can't cultivate for a hundred years, it will just be a pile of bones. Could it be that I am too lenient with you?"
The madam was terrified and quickly knelt on the ground: "Please calm down, sir. I admit my mistake and will take her away immediately!"
"That's all."
The steward withdrew his gaze from Xihe and said, "This is just one time, it won't happen again. This girl will stay with me for the time being."
Xihe: “…”
"Is this what you made me endure?"
She wanted to leave that day, but that guy advised her to be patient and that these people would not dare to do anything to her. What happened now?
Gouzi was a little embarrassed: "It was my negligence, but your injuries haven't recovered yet. If you use the power that doesn't belong to this world again, your body will completely collapse in the next second... Just bear with it for a while, I promise, he won't dare to do anything to you! Otherwise, you can do whatever you want."
Xihe exhaled slowly and looked at the steward coldly: "For the last time!"
No one knew who the brothel was doing business with secretly. After the manager met with them, they were ordered to go back and pack their things. After listening to a lecture from the madam, they were sent to a yard.
As soon as they entered the yard, several women went together to choose a room, and no one paid any attention to Xihe.
Xihe didn't care and randomly picked a room to go in. The next afternoon, everyone took a carriage to the nearest city and took a flying boat to Yuqu Mountain.
On the way, several women flitted about the boat like butterflies, attracting many glances. Xihe also came out for a stroll, leaning against the side of the boat, gazing at the white clouds drifting across the sky.
"This fairy..." An uncertain voice came from behind him.
Xihe turned around, and the sword cultivator's eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward and said excitedly, "Girl, it's really you! Do you still remember me? Tianning Mountain, I also gave you the purse."
Xihe suddenly understood and smiled: "So he is an immortal."
Nan Shiqing blushed with embarrassment: "I am only a first-level foundation-building cultivator, not worthy of the title of 'immortal'. Miss, please just call me Nan Shiqing. May I know your name?"
"It may be a bit presumptuous, but I, I..."
"My daughter Hua Shang."
Xihe chuckled and told the incoherent monk, whose ears turned red with embarrassment.
Nan Shiqing's eyes lit up. "What a great name! The drums of Yuyang shake the earth, startling the dancers in their colorful clothes and feathered robes. It suits the girl very well."
Xi He looked at him with a smile. Nan Shiqing's cheeks turned even redder. He coughed lightly and awkwardly tried to find a topic to talk about: "Where are you going, young lady? I remember you were accompanied by a servant that day. Was he also on the boat?"
He casually mentioned Shao Heng and said he was her servant. Xi He shook his head slightly, "He's not here, and I don't know where to go."
Looking at Fengyun outside the isolation shield, I wonder what happened to those two people? They can reach the Demon Realm safely, but with Cheng Fan, who is as cunning as a sieve, there won't be any big problems.
Nan Shiqing was horrified: "Miss, you don't know? Then why are you here? Miss Hua, you must have encountered difficulties..."
"Miss Hua!" A warning voice suddenly sounded.
A man dressed as a servant came over quickly, nodded to Nan Shiqing, and said to Xihe, "Miss, the master is looking for you."
Xihe nodded, said goodbye to Nan Shiqing, and walked into the cabin calmly.
The steward did not look for her. The servant just saw her talking to a stranger. After questioning her and making sure she didn't say anything she shouldn't, he warned her not to try to challenge the "master's" bottom line and locked her in the room until the flying boat stopped.
There is a palace on Yuqu Mountain. It is said that the person with the highest cultivation level in this world lives there and is inviolable.
The steward left her outside the gate, then hurriedly took a few women out. Xihe looked at the empty yard, opened the gate, and walked along the path. When she met a disciple on the way, she walked up to him with a smile and asked him where the spiritual roots were tested.
The disciple was so fascinated by her smile that he not only personally rode a crane to send her to the testing hall, but also paid spirit stones in advance for her to take the test.
The woman's white palm fell on the spirit-testing pillar, and instantly a bright light appeared!
The dazzling light filled the entire hall. The disciples of Yuqu Palace stared blankly, and the disciple who brought her here was even more dumbfounded: "Heaven, heavenly spiritual roots?"
When the steward came back with a bulging purse, he found that the mortal woman he brought back was nowhere to be seen. Just as he was about to get angry, the master's disciple suddenly came and motioned him to go.
The steward followed tremblingly, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw the woman in plain clothes standing in the center.
"Zhao Tong, did you find Shang'er?"
Zhao Tong was stunned. Shang'er? What had this woman done in such a short time? But he didn't dare to hide it, so he could only nod and say, "Yes."
The headmaster suddenly laughed three times: "Very good! You have found a disciple with a natural spiritual root for Yuqu Palace. You have made a great contribution. Go to the weapon hall to choose a treasure."
Natural spiritual roots?! Zhao Tong subconsciously looked at the woman in the middle. Xihe only smiled slightly, her back straight. At this moment, the radiance on her body was hard to ignore. She was clearly a beautiful woman with a natural beauty. How could she be just a mortal?
Zhao Tong shuddered. He had offended her and he was finished.
After Zhao Tong left, the headmaster asked Xihe if she would like to be his disciple. Xihe declined, saying sheepishly that she had always admired the master of Yuqu Palace.
Sect Leader: “…”
If it were someone else, he would definitely not be happy, but the Palace Master...
He laughed helplessly: "I can ask for you, but the Palace Master has never accepted a disciple in the past three thousand years, so don't get your hopes up."
Xihe leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Master."
As expected, the hall master rejected her. The headmaster asked her if she was willing to accept him as her master. Xihe said that she was willing to stay in Yuqu Hall until the hall master agreed.
Sect Leader: ...A forced melon is not sweet, so just let it be.
It wasn't until they settled down in a cave at the foot of the Yuqu Palace that Gouzi appeared. "Have you thought this through long ago? Using your talent to deal with Zhao Tong, and now choosing to become the master of the Yuqu Palace, are you also trying to persuade the headmaster to retreat without making a sound? And you can stay here to heal your wounds?"
"But your Jackdaw's Leaky Body is difficult to advance. What will you do if it's exposed?"
After Xihe finished looking around the cave, he lay on his back on the jade bed and said, "We'll talk about it later. They can't kick me out. There are so many people here, so what if I become one more person?"
System: "... Then you should know that the Lord of Yuqu Palace is the male protagonist of this world. You will meet the male and female protagonists sooner or later while you are here."
Xihe looked at the ceiling of the tent: "That's perfect. When the Demon Lord comes to capture the heroine, I will give him a surprise."
System: "...You are a real dog!"
"Thank you for the compliment"
