Chapter 757 738: Goddess Yingying

  • Next Chapter

The group of people sitting here were not unsophisticated country bumpkins, nor were they some nouveau riche commoners. They were true nobles!

Backed by Celestial Brilliance, the Supreme Great Sect that dominated Xi Hezhou, what kind of women had they not seen?

But they had never seen a woman so beautiful it was suffocating!

It was hard to describe her eyes... They danced with every glance, brimming like autumn waters. They were eyes that could speak, that could clearly convey joy, anger, sorrow, and delight.

Like a clear spring, one could see straight to the bottom—unbelievably pure!

Her brows were lightly penciled, her skin fairer than snow. A full head of black hair was tied in a simple bun. Her figure was graceful, her legs long and slender.

Before she even spoke, the entire room seemed to dim in comparison, yet because of her alone, it shone with brilliance!

This was a truly peerless beauty!

Tang Xiao and the others were all stomping their feet and beating their chests in regret. They felt so foolish. Why had they chosen their companions so early?

Obviously, the best... was saved for last!

The group of guys looked at Xu Luo, their faces filled with envy and jealousy.

Yu Tianjie couldn't help but mutter, "The boss is really the boss... So awesome!"

"Young Master, this is the top courtesan of our Divine Maiden Tower in Qingchuan Ancient City. Her name is Yingying. Would you be amenable to having her accompany you?"

Admittedly, when the woman named Yingying first entered, Xu Luo was also stunned by her beauty for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

His own eyes, which could see through all things in the world, swept over the woman named Yingying. He immediately discovered that even though her current face was as beautiful as a Celestial Immortal's, it was not her true appearance!

The real Yingying... was even more beautiful than this!

And so, Xu Luo, who had originally planned to refuse, suddenly changed his mind. He felt that this woman seemed to be hiding some interesting secrets.

"Fine," Xu Luo nodded.

A chorus of sighs came from beside him.

The glamorous madam smiled faintly, gave Xu Luo a deep look, and then said to Yingying, "You must serve this Young Master well, do you hear me?"

Yingying nodded lightly. Her every movement evoked a feeling of tender pity.

She walked softly to Xu Luo's side, sat down, filled a cup of tea for him, and offered it with both hands. "Young Master, please have some tea," she said softly.

Xu Luo took it casually, nodded at her, and took a sip.

Only then did the glamorous madam feel at ease. She smiled, closed the door, and left.

Seeing Yingying sit down next to their leader, Tang Xiao and the others gave up hope and turned to coaxing the young women beside them.

Though they were novices, they learned quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were all getting along swimmingly with the women beside them.

Yingying sat beside Xu Luo and asked gently, "Where are you from, Young Master?"

Xu Luo smiled and said, "The four seas are my home."

Yingying gave a charming smile and said softly, "You have a good sense of humor, Young Master."

Xu Luo chuckled and asked softly, "You're quite humorous yourself."

Yingying's beautiful eyes landed on Xu Luo's face as she whispered, "How am I humorous?"

"You clearly possess an even more beautiful face, so why not show it to people? Could it be you're afraid that revealing your true appearance would drive all the men in the world mad?" Xu Luo sounded very casual. The conversation between them was isolated by an aura, so the others couldn't hear.

Yingying was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "You must be joking, Young Master."

"Heh." Xu Luo smiled faintly and didn't press the matter.

Afterward, various dishes and wine were served, and the atmosphere in the room grew lively.

The women all made a point of flattering the men, constantly toasting them while all trying to do the same thing: pry into the group's background.

Their background was no secret to Jin Ming, of course, but to others, it was quite mysterious.

Clearly, they were not from Qingchuan Ancient City. Yet they all carried themselves with a distinguished air; any one of them could have been one of those Noble Family Descendants who are always surrounded by an entourage.

A group like this gathered together would make a powerful impression on anyone.

It was hard to believe they were just a group of ordinary people.

Otherwise, the glamorous madam would never have sent the Divine Maiden Tower's top courtesan to serve Xu Luo. Even the women accompanying Tang Xiao and the others were no ordinary girls; they were all considered popular Cultured Courtesans of the Divine Maiden Tower!

In other words, including the mature and beautiful woman Shao Zheng had chosen, every single one of these women was still a virgin!

If it weren't for a group like them, the Divine Maiden Tower would never have offered such hospitality.

However, although this group of peerless prodigies from Celestial Brilliance were out to have fun and lacked experience, they were all extremely tight-lipped about their identities and refused to speak the truth.

Frankly, visiting a brothel... was no big deal. But the special status of the Divine Maiden Tower made them all a little wary.

These women were all highly refined. Seeing that they couldn't pry any information out, they tactfully stopped asking and simply drank with them.

Yingying accompanied Xu Luo without deliberately pressuring him to drink. The two had a surprising rapport, occasionally exchanging glances in a rather pleasant way.

"How long will you be staying here, Young Master?" Yingying held her wine cup, appearing a little tipsy, but it was all just an act.

Xu Luo could see clearly that Yingying's cultivation had already stepped into the Great Saint Realm.

How could a Great Saint possibly get drunk?

"One day," Xu Luo said.

"Ah..." Yingying probably didn't expect such an answer. Her limpid eyes gazed at Xu Luo as she said softly, "Such a fleeting visit."

"Does it matter if we were strangers before we met?" Xu Luo smiled, raised his cup in a gesture toward Yingying, and then drained it.

"Yes, you're right. I was being sentimental." Yingying smiled faintly and also drank the wine in her cup.

"It's just that to meet in this life is a matter of fate. Are you perhaps worried about the Divine Maiden Tower's reputation, and that's why you won't reveal your origin?" Yingying watched Xu Luo with a deep, intoxicating gaze.

"Haha, if you are willing to show me your true face, I will naturally tell you my origin," Xu Luo said with a laugh.

"Really?" Yingying stared at Xu Luo.

"Of course," Xu Luo smiled. "I never lie."

"Very well!" As Yingying spoke, she waved a slender hand, and a curtain of light appeared, cutting the two of them off from the outside world.

Tang Xiao and the others immediately started jeering.

"Hey, beautiful Yingying, what are you doing with our boss?"

"Whoa... You can't be that impatient, can you?"

"The boss's charm is unparalleled!"

"Boss, take her home!"

The shameless bunch, emboldened by the wine, started shouting.

In contrast, the women beside them all looked astonished. No one understood Yingying's temperament better than they did.

In the two-plus years since her debut, not a single man had ever truly caught her eye.

Whether they were the sons of great noble families or disciples of a Sect Leader, Yingying's suitors were as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river.

At most... Yingying would only accompany them for a single cup of wine. If she were to play a song for them, the man's status would have to be, at the very least, that of a direct-line heir from a great noble family.

Other than that, she had never been so intimate with any man.

They were already surprised that Yingying had even appeared today. Now, seeing her personally raise a curtain to seal herself off from the outside world, they were all utterly astounded.

"What's wrong? Even if they're getting... intimate... is that so strange?" Although Yu Tianying sometimes seemed like a fool, he was older and more level-headed. Seeing the peculiar expression on the face of the woman beside him, he asked with a smile.

"Ah... no, of course not. Hehe, maybe your boss... is just too charming?" The woman beside Yu Tianying laughed, trying to hide her surprise.

"Oh..." Yu Tianying drew out the sound and pursed his lips. 'Like I'd believe that,' he thought. 'That woman is obviously as pure as jade. Even though she's in a place like this, her disposition is even nobler than the ladies of Celestial Brilliance. How could she fall for someone so easily?'

'The boss is charming, sure, but they've known each other for less than two hours. Has she fallen in love already?'

Yu Tianying sneered inwardly but didn't say anything more, simply raising his cup to drink with the woman beside him.

Xu Luo looked at the breathtakingly beautiful face before him, marveling internally. Even though he had already seen Yingying's true appearance with his all-seeing eyes, he was still stunned by her beauty now.

"Young Master, I have done my part. Now it's your turn." Yingying, having reverted to her original appearance, looked at Xu Luo.

Xu Luo let out a soft sigh and said, "I am Luo Tian, a Heavenly Brilliance Disciple."

"Ah... so it's true!" Yingying said with a smile.

"What, you guessed?" Xu Luo was a little surprised.

Yingying nodded and said, "Just now, when Sister Fuqu had someone summon me, she said you might be Heavenly Brilliance Disciples. Otherwise, do you really think Sister Fuqu would have let me come out?"

"The Divine Maiden Tower is truly something else... Impressive indeed!" Xu Luo's face was full of admiration.

His group had only arrived yesterday. Most of them had hardly ever left Celestial Brilliance before. Unlike the senior members of Celestial Brilliance who had already made names for themselves in the world, it was safe to say... no one knew them.

Other than the conflict that occurred in the restaurant, they had done nothing to reveal their identities.

Yet the people here had somehow deduced their identities based on mere speculation. How could that not be astonishing?

"Since you are truly a Heavenly Brilliance Disciple, Young Master, I have a favor to ask. I hope you will be able to grant it," Yingying said softly, looking at Xu Luo.

"We are but strangers who met by chance. Do you think it's... appropriate to ask me for a favor directly?" Xu Luo said coolly.

Xu Luo was no naive rookie. Over the years... he had experienced things that an ordinary person would be lucky to experience even a tenth of in their entire lifetime.

The Divine Maiden Tower was not a weak faction. On the contrary, they were very powerful!

This Yingying was no weak woman, either. Her strength might even surpass that of many peerless prodigies.

'Would a woman of her status and background ask for help with a simple, small matter?'

Xu Luo wasn't afraid of trouble, but he didn't like to go looking for it!

At this, Yingying adopted a pitiful look. "You haven't even heard what I have to say, Young Master... Very well, then I'll first tell you what I can do."

With that, Yingying looked at Xu Luo and said, "If you are willing to help me this once, Young Master, then from this day forward, I will be yours!"
