Chapter 19
Cassel was a little overwhelmed, his tentacles were all stretched straight, he covered his clothes and shouted, "Don't touch... um——"
Until someone got curious and touched the little wing: "What is this? How come I have never seen it before?"
Cassel was shocked. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he suddenly broke free and ran towards the fox demon. He hid behind him and said timidly, "I don't want to stay here. It's too scary here!"
Ling You: “…”
The girls around looked at each other in bewilderment, and even the one playing the piano and singing stopped, as if it was the first time they had encountered such a scene.
"Everyone, go out first."
Ling You poured the wine and played with it in his hands. After giving an order, he watched everyone leave one after another. He suddenly chuckled, and his furry fox tail swung slowly. Just as Cassel was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly wrapped around his waist with lightning speed and dragged him towards him.
Cassel screamed, and when he came to his senses, he met Lingyou's smiling eyes.
"Don't like it?" Lingyou tilted his head, and a fox ear popped out of his head. Half of his face was a fox's plush face, and the other half was a stunningly beautiful human face. He leaned over, and put his nose against Cassel's cheek, and said in an inexplicable tone, "How can there be a man who doesn't like a beautiful girl...ah, are you impotent?"
Cassel was so scared that his tentacles were shaking. He didn't know what impotence was, but he didn't dare to ask. He could only nod randomly. He tried hard to hold back the desire to cry and said, "I don't like them."
"He's such a poor little guy," Lingyou's eyes turned from pity to amusement as he looked at him. He pulled his tail back from Cassel's waist. He just leaned back, sipping his wine, and said, "Is he a homosexual?"
Cassel took two steps back, twisted his fingers, and mustered up the courage to ask him: "What is a Duanxiu?"
"That is to say, you have a preference for Long Yang." Ling You tilted his head, and the fox face disappeared. The fiery red tail gently swept across the ground. He smiled and said, "Ah, but it doesn't matter. He Huan Buddha, as long as there are two good-looking people, who made me think you are good."
Cassel: “…”
He still didn't understand.
There was a commotion outside and screams were heard. After a while, Cassel heard a knock on the door.
Someone walked in respectfully and whispered something in Lingyou's ear. Cassel couldn't hear it, but he could see that the fox demon named Lingyou stopped smiling, and the moment he put down the wine glass, he looked at Cassel.
Cassel shrank back: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Lingyou said, "In order to let you fully understand the wonderful use of money, today, I will let you see the so-called... beautiful men around your knees."
In a room, the window was half open, letting the warm midday sun shine in. A breeze blew the curtains, creating interlaced shadows. There was a bed and a table in the room, with a faint fragrance nearby. The girls poured wine and tea, and their cheeks blushed slightly when they looked up.
Bai Yi smiled and took out the last ingot of silver from his pocket - the one he had just pawned with a hairpin downstairs. He handed it to the girl who poured the tea, and after watching them leave, his face suddenly fell.
"I've never been this poor." Bai Yi said in a sullen tone. He reluctantly took the wine pot and took a sip of wine. He turned around and looked at Nie Wuhen who was sitting upright, and said, "You said he was in a brothel. Is that true? Could it be that he became the top prostitute right after entering the illusion?"
This illusion is the most outrageous one Bai Yi has ever encountered. An ordinary illusion would trap a person but would not seal the magic of the cultivator. But this illusion was different. It not only sealed the magic power, but also sealed the space tightly.
He couldn't even take out his own silver from the space!
Nie Wuhen chose to remain silent.
Because he is even more miserable than Bai Yi.
At least Bai Yi still had the fan in his hand, but he couldn't even take out his Wuwang sword.
There were two knocks on the door of the room. Before the people inside could respond, the door was pushed open. The two looked over and were stunned.
Cassel followed Lingyou. He didn't know what Lingyou was going to do, but when he looked up, he saw an acquaintance.
"I heard that the two gentlemen came here not to visit the brothel to find girls, but to find me who is in charge of the brothel," Ling You smiled softly, walked forward, casually dragged a chair, and sat down, "I wonder what kind of news you want to find out."
He held the cigarette and stretched it to the side, "Light it."
Cassel didn't react and stared blankly at Nie Wuhen, who turned his head away and ignored him.
"Are my words no longer effective?" After waiting for a long time without any result, Ling You turned her head and saw Cassel looking at Nie Wuhen seriously. He tilted his head as if thinking about something, narrowed his eyes and lit a cigarette.
He smoked a cigarette and asked Cassel, "Do you know him?"
Cassel came back to his senses and shook his head: "I don't know him."
Sweat broke out on Bai Yi's palms.
Ling You obviously didn't believe it: "Then why did you stare at him for so long?"
"He's very handsome," Cassel said sincerely as he walked up to Lingyou, "I like him very much."
The surroundings were quiet.
Bai Yi almost couldn't sit still.
On the other hand, Nie Wuhen had a calm expression. He was still the same as before, with a cold expression and no one was allowed to approach him.
"Really?" Ling You sneered. He raised his eyes and his voice suddenly became softer. He tilted his head, smiled affectionately, and said, "So who do you think is better looking, me or him?"
It was that sound that went straight to the bone. Cassel's wings fluttered behind him. He looked at Lingyou shyly, "Of course you are pretty. I like you, too."
"Oh," Lingyou said with a smile on his face, "I want to touch your little wings and your little tentacles, can I? I have never seen such special little wings before, I like them so much."
Cassel had never been praised like this for his little wings. His wings were clearly covered with fluff and were short. He knew how ugly they were without even looking at them, but he was still praised like this.
He said he loved his little wings!
Cassel felt dizzy and forgot what he was going to do for a moment. He walked over, held Lingyou's white and tender hand, pressed his cheek against his palm, and said, "Okay!"
Bang--
The sound of the teacup breaking interrupted their conversation. Cassel looked up subconsciously and saw Nie Wuhen twisting his hand expressionlessly and saying, "My hand slipped."
Lingyou's smile deepened, he pulled back his hand and said, "It's nothing. It's just a cup, it can be bought for a thousand gold, it's not expensive. You don't need to compensate me."
Nie Wuhen looked at him and said in a cold and hard voice: "I will compensate you."
Cassel didn't understand what was going on. He just touched his head in confusion, moved his lips, and finally said nothing.
Bai Yi tried to smooth things over and brought the topic back to normal: "My fellow disciples and I were robbed when we passed by here. We are now short of money. We came here to ask if there are any immortal cultivators nearby who can help us catch the thief."
"Oh, then you've asked the right person," Lingyou said, "Although there aren't many immortal cultivators here, there is a temple nearby that is very effective. Everyone who has visited it has fulfilled their vows."
"Changsheng Temple?" Bai Yi said, "This temple is really famous. I've been talking about it all along the way."
"Of course. Who wouldn't say yes if they could fulfill their vows?" Ling You took another puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled. He crossed his legs and leaned back, looking extremely relaxed. "Exit the flower building, keep walking forward, climb the 999 steps, and you will reach the Changsheng Temple."
Cassel, who knew the inside story, bit his lip. He looked towards Nie Wuhen, wanting to tell him the truth. The moment he raised his head, he found that Nie Wuhen was also looking at him.
Cassel felt a little cold.
Lingyou stood up and stood between the two men, blocking Cassel's gaze. He said, "Look, my two guests, even if we get the silver back from the thieves, I'm afraid there won't be much money. How about this, I will return all the silver you gave to the maid in my brothel, so that you won't starve to death on the road."
Bai Yi: "...Hey, okay..."
"No need," Nie Wuhen stood up, looked at Ling You, and said, "It's not a lot of silver. I won't bother you to come back."
Bai Yi: “…”
Lingyou smoked slowly and said with a smile, "Then it's just as the guest said, no need to return it." Finally, he turned his head to look at Cassel and said, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"Yeah. I want to eat candied haws," Cassel asked in a low voice, "Can I?"
Ling You was satisfied with Cassel's advice. She glanced at Nie Wuhen's expressionless face and stood up and walked out the door: "Of course, my little bride."
Bai Yi was dumbfounded. He sneered and said to himself, "How heartless! He bought the person away with just a candied haws!"
Nie Wuhen raised his eyelids and moved his gaze to Cassel's fingertips. He watched his fingertips placed on the door frame, tapping gently, once, twice, three times. Only three times.
Someone outside called him: "Come on, or there will be no more candied haws."
Cassel looked at Nie Wuhen pleadingly, then followed him: "Hey! I want candied haws!"
"Brother, you are careless," Bai Yi was so angry that he picked up the wine flask and took a few gulps. He suppressed his anger and said, "Why should people from another world believe him? It would be better if they didn't meet him in the first place! Haven't you ever eaten candied haws?!"
"Bai Yi," Nie Wuhen came back to his senses and said, "He helped us break the first illusion. The problem in Zhao Village was solved because he acted as the bride and entered the palace alone. He even helped a lot when dealing with the skeleton monster."
Bai Yi was speechless for a moment.
"You shouldn't say that about him," Nie Wuhen leaned against the door frame, half-closed his eyes, and said in a light tone, "He likes to eat candied haws, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that we can't afford it right now. It has nothing to do with him."
"Even if he breaks through the illusion and escapes by himself, it is our responsibility. He has no obligation to do anything for us, and we should not ask him to do anything. That's all."
