Chapter 126 Learning to Beg for My Wife's Favor
Yu Siran followed the black leopard all the way to the town at the foot of the mountain, where she saw it peeking out from outside a house with its gate tightly closed.
"What is that place? How did Black Panther get here?" she muttered to herself.
Zhiwei, however, had no eyes to look. He naturally knew where he was and what he had wanted to do when he came to this godforsaken place—no, what he had wanted to do back then.
"Do not look at what is improper, do not listen to what is improper." He wanted to kidnap his sister-in-law, Yu Siran, but unfortunately, he was just a knife on her back.
Curious Yu Siran, who was always humble and eager to learn, went to the vendors at the morning market to inquire.
"Why are you asking this, little girl? Go home and stay away from there!" The woman selling steamed buns scolded Yu Siran.
Yu Siran was puzzled, and asked several more people again.
In the end, the feisty wife laughed and gave Yu Siran the answer.
"That's the famous Xianggu Pavilion around here, full of male prostitutes. You've heard of brothels, right? Except brothels are all women, while this place is all men."
Yu Siran, seemingly understanding but not quite, returned to the entrance of the Elephant Maiden's Pavilion and saw the black leopard scratching at the door with its front paws.
The gate creaked open, and a fair-skinned young man walked out. His robes were loose, his hair was flowing, and he yawned and stretched. He was startled when he saw the black leopard.
"Oh my, where did this big cat come from?!"
Having lived at the foot of Xuanxiao Gate for a long time, the people here are used to seeing all kinds of spirit beasts, so they are not afraid of the black leopard. They just laugh and joke, "Grandpa Leopard, you've come at the wrong time. We only open for business at night. Everyone is sleeping right now. Go back."
Black Panther glanced at the young master, and sure enough, left dejectedly.
Yu Siran naturally followed the black leopard back up the mountain, eagerly waiting for the sun to set.
She had been keeping a close eye on Black Panther's every move, so when Black Panther sneaked out of her sister's yard again, she tiptoed after him.
"Silk dyeing, what are you doing?"
Yun Tianjiao had noticed that Yu Siran was acting strangely today, always lurking around her courtyard, neither coming in nor leaving. So she secretly kept an eye on her and discovered that as it got darker, first Black Panther silently ran out, and then Yu Siran followed behind Black Panther like a thief.
"Shh-"
Yu Siran put her index finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture.
Yun Tianjiao became nervous as well, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The Demon-Slaying Blade buzzed behind Yu Siran, but was finally silenced when Yu Siran slapped it with a talisman.
"Eldest sister, Black Panther is trying to sneak down the mountain. I'm going to follow him and see what's going on," Yu Siran said softly, her voice low and strained.
"Going down the mountain? What's it going down the mountain for?"
Yu Siran shook her head, but her expression was very serious, like a female constable investigating a major case.
Yun Tianjiao was amused by her cute appearance and decided to play along. So the two sisters quieted down and followed the black leopard down the mountain. By the time they reached the city at the foot of the mountain, it was already completely night.
Compared to the quietness of the daytime, Xianggu Pavilion was now ablaze with lights and colors. Carriages and horses came and went at the entrance, and the guests, both men and women, all covered their faces and were greeted with smiles by the handsome young man at the gate.
Yun Tianjiao had a strange expression. Unlike Yu Siran, who was once known as the "licentious" princess who kept countless male lovers by her side, she could tell what kind of place this was at a glance.
But what is Black Panther doing here?
She knew that Black Panther had now developed intelligence and probably possessed human emotions and desires, but even if he wanted to do bad things, he should at least go to a brothel.
Yun Tianjiao watched silently as the black leopard lingered at the entrance of the Elephant Maiden's Residence for a moment before circling around to the side of the courtyard, leaping lightly over the high wall, and slipping inside.
"Silk Dye, you wait here. I'll go in and check. Make sure it doesn't cause any trouble." Yun Tianjiao gritted his teeth, already planning how to whip the black panther after capturing it.
Yu Siran immediately said, "I'll go in with my elder sister!"
“No!” Yun Tianjiao resolutely refused.
"Why?" Yu Siran asked, puzzled.
“You’re too young, this place isn’t suitable for you.” Yun Tianjiao patted Yu Siran’s head. “Be good, wait for me here, I’ll be right back.”
Following suit, Yun Tianjiao walked to the spot where the black leopard had just climbed over the wall and lightly leaped inside.
Yu Siran always listened to her older sister. Although she was very curious as to why young people couldn't go into this place, she obediently stayed where she was.
However, the demon-slaying sword behind her suddenly shook off the talisman attached to it, and flew up like an arrow, shooting into the courtyard of the Elephant Maiden's Pavilion.
Yu Siran was startled and hurriedly chased after him, climbing over the wall while reassuring herself: I came in to chase after the knife, not on purpose, my sister will not blame me.
As Yun Tianjiao entered the Elephant Maiden Pavilion, she could hear lewd words and phrases everywhere. These mortal male prostitutes were far more daring than the male immortals who had tried to please her before. Even though she and Zhiwei had already done everything they should and shouldn't have done, she still blushed as she listened.
She searched everywhere and finally spotted the black panther. It was lying by the window of a side room, its round ears perked up, listening intently.
"Madam... I beg you to love me."
Yu Sishu was a cultivator, so her hearing was naturally far superior to that of ordinary people. Yun Tianjiao, using Yu Sishu's body, could also hear the intimate sounds coming from the room clearly.
At that moment, a strikingly similar image suddenly flashed into my mind—
"Please, Your Highness, have mercy on me."
The man's black hair cascaded down as he gently lifted the hem of her dress. He looked up at her with a humble yet pitiful expression, his face appearing exceptionally alluring and captivating in the flickering candlelight of the palace lanterns.
"..."
Yun Tianjiao narrowed her eyes, thinking to herself, "Good, I knew it. Looking at Zhiwei's upbringing, I've never seen him try to please or flatter women. So why did he use so many tricks when he found her?"
So that's where they learned it all?!
Looking at those round ears that were perked up so earnestly, Yun Tianjiao was both annoyed and amused. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to grab them.
But Black Panther beat her to it and ran to another room not far away to continue eavesdropping.
"Miss, this is a white fungus and lotus seed soup that I personally cooked for you..."
"Oh dear, your hands are all red. Did you burn yourself?"
"I am useless..."
This time, Black Panther not only listened, but also clearly saw the intimate scene of a man and a woman inside through the crack in the window.
Just as Yun Tianjiao was about to catch the black leopard, someone suddenly grabbed his sleeve from behind. When he turned around, he met Yu Siran's big, watery eyes.
"Silk dye, didn't I tell you to wait outside?" Yun Tianjiao frowned.
Yu Siran raised her Demon-Slaying Blade high: "It suddenly disobeyed and flew in. I'm here to catch it!"
Yun Tianjiao took the Demon-Slaying Blade from Yu Siran's hand and felt its slight tremor. He could feel the scorching heat of the blade even through the scabbard.
Thinking about how the person inside must feel right now, she couldn't help but chuckle jokingly: "What's going on? It's been peaceful for quite some time now."
Yu Siran said, "Yes, I told my father a while ago that it was already a mature knife, but I didn't expect it to start going crazy again tonight."
This was the place Zhiwei least wanted to revisit in his life, especially not in front of Yun Tianjiao. If he weren't inside the Demon-Slaying Blade right now, his face would probably be burning hot.
"Elder sister, this place is so strange. Why do two people always have to squeeze together? I just saw one person sitting on another person in a bush."
Yun Tianjiao blushed with embarrassment and quickly covered Yu Siran's mouth.
With a whoosh, the Demon-Slaying Blade flew out of Yun Tianjiao's hand again, directly slashing at the Black Panther who had run to another room to steal the master's techniques.
Zhiwei thought to himself, who cares whose memories these are? At this moment, all he wanted was to chop the black panther in front of him to pieces. Unfortunately, this was an impossible task. If the black panther were really killed like that, there would be no Zhiwei as we know him today.
Black Panther reacted with extreme agility, as if it had eyes in the back of its head. It dodged the Demon Slayer Blade early on and leaped lightly onto the roof.
Its exceptionally sharp night vision glanced at the blade that attacked it, clearly recognizing it as the Demon-Slaying Blade. For a moment, its fierce gaze wavered with apprehension, as if it were stealthily glancing in the direction of Yun Tianjiao. However, it quickly regained its composure, leaping like lightning towards the outer wall of the Elephant Maiden's Pavilion, instantly disappearing into the night and vanishing without a trace.
Seeing the black panther run away, Yun Tianjiao didn't want to stay in this dangerous place for even a minute longer. He took the Ghost-Slaying Blade with one hand, grabbed Yu Siran by the back of her neck with the other, and flew out after her.
When the two sisters returned to Xuanxiao Gate, they found that Black Panther was already lying in the courtyard, feigning an innocent expression, his bright eyes looking over as if wondering where they had come from so late.
"It's getting late, Silky, you should go back and rest."
Yu Siran keenly sensed the dangerous aura emanating from her elder sister, dared not utter another word, and slunk away, carrying her demon-slaying sword.
"etc."
Yun Tianjiao stopped her, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and said coldly, "Leave that knife behind."
Yu Siran was puzzled, but she still obediently took the knife off her body and placed it on the table.
Yun Tianjiao rummaged through Yu Sishu's Qiankun bag for a while and found a whip. He held it in his hand and tested its softness and hardness.
The black panther finally lost its composure, tucking its ears behind its head and hiding its head in its paws.
Snap!
Yun Tianjiao lashed out with his whip, startling the black panther. It didn't feel any pain, but mustered its courage and looked up to find that Yun Tianjiao's whip had struck the Ghost-Slaying Blade.
"Good, so that's where you learned those tricks, and you've been using them on me. Good, very good."
Yun Tianjiao gritted her teeth and whipped the Demon-Slaying Blade a few more times, but she wasn't sure if the culprit hiding inside could feel the pain. After thinking for a moment with her eyes down, she threw the whip away and went to the kitchen with the Demon-Slaying Blade.
The next morning, the Xuanxiao Sect disciple in charge of managing the kitchen discovered that all the garlic and scallions in the kitchen's inventory had been chopped into small pieces, enough to feed all the outer disciples of the sect for a year!
Who is this? Staying up so late! Even if you have insomnia, wouldn't it be better to use that time to practice your martial arts? Why are you arguing with onions and garlic?!
