Chapter 49: Zui Qing Lou If they were not wearing only thin pajamas...
Mu Xingchen walked in and looked around. The layout looked like any other restaurant, with tables piled high with food and wine. There were no girls around. From time to time, the sound of elegant orchestral music drifted through the air, giving it a scholarly air. The only thing about the lights was the multicolored glow. Looking up, he saw the various night-shining pearls at work.
Mu Xingchen was about to turn around when suddenly, there was a burst of noise and applause all around.
"It's Miss Qian Yun! Miss Qian Yun is out!!!"
"Miss Qian Yun!!!"
"Miss Qian Yun!!!"
…….
All the surrounding lights went out in an instant, leaving only a faint blue overhead light in front of the stage.
Following the ringing of a clear silver bell, a barefoot woman dressed in red and wearing a gilded mask slowly emerged. As she walked, the bells on her ankles tinkled, a truly melodious sound. As she fully emerged into the light, the cinnabar on her forehead became strikingly conspicuous. Everyone's gaze was fixed on her captivating eyes. She stepped forward, each step ablaze with dazzling light.
The surrounding string and wind orchestra music began to sound.
The woman on the stage flung her wide sleeves, instantly swirling with a thousand petals. Her feet danced, seemingly weightless, spinning in mid-air. A glance back revealed a fleeting expression that stunned everyone.
Even Mu Xingchen was stunned for a moment.
"Beautiful, Xiaoqi." she exclaimed.
Xiao Qi calmly reminded: "Do you remember why we are here?"
Mu Xingchen hesitated, "I remember it, but the woman on the stage seemed a little familiar to me."
Xiao Qi denied it, "You've seen it? No way, you've never been to this place before."
Mu Xingchen frowned. "Maybe we met once. I don't know. Never mind."
She put away her curiosity and began to try to find the scent of Feng Xue on the first floor. After walking around, she frowned and said, "No, the fragrance here is a bit strange. It smells like everything. I can't find her scent."
Xiao Qi: "If it doesn't work, search room by room."
Mu Xingchen pursed her lips. If she searched floor by floor, she might hear something she shouldn't...
Xiao Qi was speechless: "Why are you still hesitating at this time?"
Mu Xingchen started to go upstairs without saying a word.
She listened at the door of each room until she reached the sixth floor.
Mu Xingchen's face had turned pale. She held onto the stairs and gasped, "I can't take it anymore. I'm going to vomit."
Xiao Qi said distressedly: "This is the last floor. Persistence is victory."
Mu Xingchen took two deep breaths, calmed his mind, and then stepped onto the seventh floor.
There was a guard at the entrance of the seventh floor stairs. They stopped her and asked curiously, "Miss, do you want to rent a room?"
Mu Xingchen nodded and followed their words and said, "Well, open the wing room."
Several people looked at each other.
"One wing room, at least ten high-grade spirit stones."
Mu Xingchen twitched his lips. "This even requires spirit stones? This is a shady shop!!!"
Xiao Qi: "Give it to me. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. It's not yours anyway."
Mu Xingchen expressionlessly took out a spirit stone from his silver bag and handed it to the person in front of him, "Deposit."
"Girl, please." A man led the way.
After a while, Mu Xingchen was taken to the door of a wing room.
As soon as she pushed the door open, she was instantly hit by the strong scent of peonies. But the strange thing was that this scent was so strong, but it didn't make people feel cloying at all. Instead, it made people feel refreshed and as if they were in a fairyland.
The wing was enormous; the hot spring alone stretched a full hundred meters. Every few meters across the room was a dazzling array of silk. When spread out, it could perfectly cover an adult's figure, and when gathered, it could easily suspend an adult. Mu Xingchen instantly understood the purpose of these silks.
"Please enjoy your meal." The guide said and then walked out, leaving Mu Xingchen alone.
Mu Xingchen sighed, "Life is so absurd, it actually makes people so..." Her eyes lit up, "Excited."
Xiao Qi said seriously: "Looking for someone, looking for someone!!!"
Mu Xingchen turned her head regretfully, and just when she was about to go out, several handsome men came towards her.
Their faces were fair, looking incredibly delicate and unblemished. If they weren't all wearing thin pajamas, two of which were slightly damp, their muscular lines faintly clinging to their clothing, Mu Xingchen wouldn't have guessed what they were here for. With such a beautiful figure, snow-white skin, and jet-black hair draped over their shoulders, they were simply stunning beauties.
They walked over and bowed to Mu Xingchen, saying, "I greet you, sir."
Mu Xingchen pretended to take a step back, her expression slightly colder. "I don't need you to serve me. Go out."
Several men looked at each other in shock. They fell to their knees with a plop and said, "But what did I do wrong? Please forgive me, sir."
Mu Xingchen sighed. She really had something to do. She said helplessly, "You guys stay here and wait for me for a while."
Several people looked at Mu Xingchen's departing back and were a little confused for a moment. But they knew one thing, that is, they should not interfere too much in the affairs of the noble.
Mu Xingchen walked in the corridor on the seventh floor. There was no one outside and it was eerily quiet.
She leaned against the wall and frowned, "Something's wrong, Xiaoqi. I can't hear any sound from any room here."
Xiao Qi said calmly, "There's a barrier, a barrier that's specifically designed to block out sound. People inside can't hear what's happening outside, and people outside can't hear what's happening inside."
A hint of coldness flashed in Mu Xingchen's eyes, "It seems that this is not an ordinary brothel."
Whether it is a restaurant, teahouse or brothel, they are the easiest places to collect intelligence.
When she thought of how a brothel could pull off such a large-scale operation, the first person she thought of was someone.
Li Yan.
"If it's to meet Xiao Su..." Mu Xingchen looked towards the innermost room. She walked over slowly, approached the edge of the window, poked a hole with the hairpin on her head, and then filled it up with her spiritual power without anyone noticing.
Suddenly, a voice came from inside.
"General Xiao, why did you invite me up here?"
Mu Xingchen narrowed his eyes. It was the sound of wind and snow.
Xiao Su chuckled and said, "I met the young lady once a few days ago, and I always thought we would meet again, but now it's not goodbye."
"I'm not familiar with the general, so there's no need to see him again." Feng Xue said coldly.
"Heh." Xiao Su chuckled softly, "Now that Mu Qing and I are engaged, since you and Mu Qing are close friends, then you and I are also friends. I just want to entertain my friends."
"General Xiao is really going to get engaged to Mu Qing? The general is so proud and arrogant, but he wants to marry a loser." Feng Xue's voice was a little sarcastic.
Xiao Su's voice became a little lazy, "Whether you are useless or not, it makes no difference to me."
"Really?" Feng Xue retorted sarcastically, "The general is much more open-minded than before."
"Girl, do you think you knew me before?"
"I don't know him."
"The lady wears a veil all day long, which makes me curious about what her face looks like." Xiao Su stood up and looked down at her, as if he must see her face under the veil today.
Feng Xue sneered: "Oh, if you are so curious, then you might as well come and see for yourself."
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Xiao Su raised his leg and was about to walk towards her. Suddenly, he turned his head and asked sharply in the direction of Mu Xingchen: "Who?"
After saying that, a terrifying spiritual power instantly shot out in the direction of Mu Xingchen.
Mu Xingchen narrowed her eyes as she took the blow head-on. The two bursts of spiritual energy collided, and the entire seventh floor erupted in a resounding roar. Wood chips flew everywhere, and the room Xiao Su was in collapsed, completely destroying the entire corridor fence.
When the two men fought, they were shocked almost at the same time. They were shocked that their strength was equal to that of the other party.
Mu Xingchen frowned and retreated without hesitation. Xiao Su wanted to chase her, but Fengxue was also retreating at the same time. Xiao Su hesitated for a second and wanted to stop Fengxue first, but in this second of hesitation, Mu Xingchen completely disappeared from his sight.
Xiao Su frowned and stopped.
At this moment, the entire Zuiqinglou was in chaos. All the people in Zuiqinglou rushed to the seventh floor and surrounded the place. At the same time, Xu Cen had also arrived.
Xu Cen took advantage of the chaos to grab Feng Xue and said sternly, "Let's go!"
With that, the two of them disappeared into Zuiqing Tower.
Xiao Su stared at the direction where Feng Xue left, his eyelashes trembling. He sneered and said, "We'll see each other again."
"General, what happened?" asked the person in charge of Zuiqinglou.
"A woman fought with me." Xiao Su said coldly.
The person in charge looked around but didn't see anyone.
"No need to look for her anymore. That woman is as strong as me and she just ran away."
The chief was immediately shocked. Who could be so powerful as General Xiao? Even Prince Yan had to give him a point when fighting him.
Xiao Su flicked his sleeves and left Zuiqinglou.
The person in charge waved his hand and said, "Clean it up and don't disturb other guests."
"yes."
After making sure no one was paying attention to her, Mu Xingchen returned to the room she had just opened. "Xu Cen is here, but there's no movement outside. He must have taken Feng Xue away." She dusted her hands. "Alright, one palm has ruined her plan."
Xiao Qi sighed, "I'm tired. This world is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
Mu Xingchen was speechless. Who was suffering? She reached out and subconsciously took off her cloak.
"My dear lady." The men surrounded her again after seeing her come back.
Mu Xingchen's breathing stagnated.
Seeing her take off her cloak, several men's eyes sparkled with stars.
Mu Xingchen threw the cloak to them and said lazily, "Burn it for me, burn it here."
Although the men were puzzled, they still did as they were told.
Mu Xingchen walked to the large recliner and sat down tiredly. A handsome man handed the wine glass to her lips, "My dear lady, please drink."
Mu Xingchen smiled and drank the wine in the glass.
