night.
The city of Jiangling was brightly lit.
Vendors are enthusiastically hawking their wares on the street, while ordinary people, having worked hard all day, are leisurely strolling around.
Qingyue Tower was the liveliest place in Jiangling City. Qin Luo looked at the dancers on the high platform. They were heavily made up and charming. Every time they swayed their bodies, they would attract cheers from the audience.
Qin Luo immediately recognized the red-clad dancer as a fox spirit. He had encountered a fox spirit before, and that fox spirit was very powerful, while the fox spirit in front of him was not very powerful.
Chu Peiran watched intently.
Upon seeing this, Qin Luo chuckled and teased, "Brother Chu, do you like this kind of girl?"
Chu Peiran coughed, clenching his fist, somewhat embarrassed. "I like girls who are intelligent and kind."
"Hehe, I, Old Pig, just love pretty female demons!" A pig's head popped out of Gui Chen's golden bowl.
Gui Chen slapped it unconscious and said with a serious expression, "There are many strong young men in the building, but the yang energy here is thin. It seems they have been greatly poisoned."
"yes."
Qin Luo shook his head and sighed softly.
Such places are already prone to draining one's body, and now with demons inside, problems are even more likely to arise.
Looking at the crowd of people, Chu Peiran said, "There are a lot of people in the building now, let's listen to some music first."
A golden light appeared beneath Qin Luo's feet, spreading and finally enveloping Qingyue Tower. "I've set up a barrier nearby; ordinary people can leave, but the demon race can be trapped."
"Excellent!"
Gui Chen nodded with a smile.
Chu Peiran led Qin Luo and the others to the counter, where a woman in a gorgeous black dress stood. "Miss, do you have a private room?"
"No."
The woman in the black dress had a cold expression.
Qin Luo took out a hundred-tael silver note and placed it on the counter.
The woman in the black dress immediately changed her expression and said with a smile, "Xiao Tao, quickly take Master Dao to the private room upstairs."
The petite girl in the pink dress looked at Qin Luo and the others with a smile on her face, "Master Dao, please follow me."
"As expected, they look down on people."
Chu Peiran sighed softly.
Qin Luo and the others followed the girl named Xiao Tao to a private room on the third floor, while the surrounding people began to leave.
The woman in the black dress tilted her head and looked at Chu Peiran. Did this guy know I was a dog? No, he must be cursing me.
"Those who claim to be scholars have extremely low moral character."
The woman in the black dress spat and cursed. She reached for the silver notes on the table, but as if pulling chestnuts out of a fire, she quickly withdrew her hand.
What's going on?
The woman in the black dress had cold sweat beading on her forehead.
This is clearly just an ordinary banknote.
In a private room on the third floor, Chu Peiran put down his book box, stretched his limbs, looked at the petite girl, and casually asked, "How long have you been here?"
Xiao Tao was a little nervous. Chu Peiran was asking about all of you, not just her. She bowed and said, "Sir, I'm new here and not familiar with the place yet."
Qin Luo sat cross-legged at the long table, a kind smile on his face. "Please call the owner of Qingyue Tower over."
“No problem.” As soon as Xiao Tao turned around, Chu Peiran said with a smile, “Little girl, bring three jugs of wine.”
Gui Chen placed his staff on the ground, sat cross-legged beside Qin Luo, put the golden bowl on the table, and said softly, "Brother Chu, this humble monk does not drink alcohol, just give me a pot of tea."
Chu Peiran nodded and said with a smile, "Then let's have two jugs of wine, a jug of tea, and two kinds of snacks to go with the wine. For a hundred taels of silver, we should at least have some decent talent performances, don't you think?"
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Tao nodded repeatedly.
Before long, Xiao Tao returned to the private room with wine and snacks. "Master Dao, here are your drinks."
Xiao Tao inadvertently saw the pig demon in the golden bowl. Her eyes widened and her body trembled uncontrollably.
The tall, imposing monk before them exuded an aura of authority and looked particularly terrifying. The refined scholar appeared gentle, but he carried no scent of books, only the bloody stench of demons. The young Taoist priest was handsome and dashing, clearly no ordinary person either.
Xiao Tao placed a plate of fried small fish and a plate of cold peanuts on the long table, looking frightened. "Master Dao, our master is busy, he'll be here in a bit."
Qin Luo smiled and said softly, "Then sit down and chat with us for a while."
"oh oh."
Xiao Tao sat down nervously.
Two cat ears suddenly appeared. Xiao Tao's cultivation level was too low to remain in human form for long. She felt like dying, but Qin Luo and the others didn't care.
Chu Peiran picked up his chopsticks and took out a peanut with sauce. "These peanuts taste pretty good."
Qin Luo picked up a sprig of cilantro with his chopsticks, then looked at the maid Xiao Tao and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Tao didn't dare to look up. She said weakly, "Life in the mountains is too hard, so I came to the city to work."
What is your dream?
"Make a lot of money and live in a big house."
Have you ever harmed anyone?
"I don't want to hurt anyone."
"Find a proper job in the future."
Xiao Tao clutched her dress, too afraid to answer.
Qin Luo believed that not all monsters were bad, and he could sense that Xiao Tao was not inherently evil.
Chu Peiran picked up the wine pot and filled a cup with wine. "Brother Dao, come and drink. Master Guichen, please feel free to drink as you please."
Qin Luo smiled and raised his glass.
They drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing his drink, Chu Peiran frowned and said, "You guys are pretty shady, actually adding water to the drink."
Xiao Tao said weakly, "I'm not in charge of the drinks."
Gui Chen picked up a cup of tea, but didn't drink it. Qin Luo asked in confusion, "Master Gui Chen, why aren't you drinking it?"
"This tea has been laced with alcohol!"
Gui Chen put down his teacup.
Chu Peiran laughed loudly, "It's one thing to trick us, but you actually want to trick Master Guichen too."
