Chapter 898: Chapter 115: Linglong

Fatty Nine and Idiot Zhu could see Li Xin’s modesty right away. This kid, obviously inexperienced, is getting nowhere today without a good handful of trouble.

"Little Xianyu, come sit here." Fatty Nine drew a woman in a pale yellow dress close to him. Before she even sat, his hands were already in action. The woman’s face reddened just charmingly enough, lightly pushing him, half-resisting before collapsing onto him.

"Cui, take all these away. Didn’t the tower master say there’s someone new? Let her come. I’m having esteemed guests today." Shi Dazhu declared boldly.

Cui looked at Shi Dazhu with a wry smile, "Master Zhu, that little girl is quite fiery and hasn’t been properly trained yet. I’m afraid she’ll offend the guests."

"Fiery, just how fiery is she?" Shi Dazhu’s interest piqued, "Are you trying to sell her off forcefully?"

Cui was startled, almost speaking up when a fragrant breeze stirred at the doorway, and a sensual and enchanting woman with impressive cleavage strutted in, waving a fragrant handkerchief.

"Oh, my dear Master Zhu, don’t say that. We’re just a small business, how dare we? Let the Golden Scale Guard know and it’s over for us. We all follow the rules here. That girl was originally selected as a female disciple by Jiuxiao Sect; it’s said her Spirit Root was quite excellent. But within a year of entering the sect, she was greedy for quick success, went mad, and her cultivation was abolished, her Spirit Root destroyed. She was expelled. Her family borrowed a heap of money at the time to send her to Jiuxiao Sect to compete. If she had succeeded, it would be fine, but now she must repay the debt herself; no one else is going to repay it for her." The woman laughed.

With her ample bosom and wide hips, her appearance was above average, alluring more with her snow-white skin and charming demeanor. Indeed, she was very feminine. Shi Dazhu pulled the proprietress into his embrace, "Mei Niang, the owner of Phoenix Singing Pavilion, my woman, Gan Jiu, you’ve met. This is Li Xin, also a brother from our cultivation realm!"

"Master Jiu, Master Xin, originally I arranged for Linglong to attend to Master Xin, but until now things haven’t been settled with her. Master Xin, do you want to change someone? Although my Phoenix Singing Pavilion doesn’t compare to Jiuxiao Building, among common folks, we’re absolutely top-tier." Mei Niang observed Li Xin with a smile.

Gan Jiu slowly sipped his wine, looking at Mei Niang, "Even the purest maiden can’t escape your grasp here, is the tower master making excuses?"

"How could that be, Master Jiu? You don’t know; this little girl, though her Spirit Root is destroyed, is still a cultivator with a method to sever her own heart vein. I was also enchanted by her appearance and spent a fortune to buy out her debts. If she dies, I’ll be the one losing everything." Mei Niang expressed wistfully.

"Mei Niang, what are you saying? Are you really going to let her walk all over you?" Fatty Nine laughed.

"This little girl is just too proud, unwilling to submit. The initial contract stated she could accompany guests, but she must choose for herself. If it weren’t for fear of her going to the Golden Scale Guard to complain, I’d have already drugged her and taken her down." Mei Niang said.

"Then let her come." Fatty Nine said.

"Sigh, I’ve already let her look at several guests, and while the guests were satisfied, she wasn’t. She offended my esteemed guests, and now I’m both losing my wife and soldiers." Mei Niang said resentfully, "I’m contemplating transferring this hot potato to another place. There’s no way I’m dealing with this ancestral spirit."

Shi Dazhu suddenly slapped Mei Niang’s butt, "Then why brag to me? I brought my friends, and my friend’s taste is high; simple common powder won’t do."

Mei Niang forced a laugh, "Today’s expenses are on me, not because I doubt Master Xin’s charm but because I suspect this girl is here to torment me. Although she’s left Jiuxiao Sect, she formally entered the sect at the beginning, and her name is registered with the Golden Scale Guard. Once things escalate, my small business can’t handle it."

Fatty Nine licked his lips, with great regret, "There’s a way to unknowingly subdue her; her cultivation is completely wasted and it’s easy, but indeed troublesome afterward."

Though Cyan Dragon City has all kinds of black-and-white businesses, the Golden Scale Guard doesn’t intervene easily, but once provoked, and if registered with the Golden Scale Guard, life gets tough. So, Mei Niang can only use various tactics to threaten and entice, but these methods aren’t effective on a determined cultivator. Ultimately, it’s a choice between life and death.

Li Xin smilingly watched the three, making Gan Jiu and Shi Dazhu feel uneasy; this kid has some cunning aura.

"Since we’re here, regardless of her type, bring her over to have a look." Li Xin said.

"Indeed, Master Xin is no ordinary person but a powerful figure in the cultivation realm. Even if she were from Jiuxiao Building, she’s just like anyone else, especially now." Fatty Nine immediately said.

Shi Dazhu patted Mei Niang’s soft fat backside, "Hurry up and go."

Mei Niang’s enticing water-dropping face broke into a smile, "Ah, Master Xin, please wait."

"The little girl is quite arrogant, I want to see what she looks like, acting all high and mighty." Gan Jiu said.

"Being able to catch Jiuxiao Sect’s eye, she surely is no ordinary good; if it weren’t for her madness, she wouldn’t have ended up here."

Not long after, Mei Niang’s voice was heard from outside, "Hurry, I’m telling you, serve well, and if you dare cause trouble again, I’ll deal with you even at a loss!"

With that, Mei Niang brought someone in, "Linglong, greet the three esteemed guests."

When they saw the girl, the room instantly quieted down.

The girl was tall, dressed in a loose white robe, resembling a bamboo bending under frost and snow, as if a strong gust would break her. The wide sleeves hung down, accentuating her fragile waist, hinting at a kind of sickly, brittle resilience.

Her face was pallid to near transparency, even her lip color was faint. Her skin was ice white, and her features were so exquisitely sculpted they seemed to be carved from jade, yet without any vitality. Her eyebrows stretched like distant ink stains, her makeup subtle, her nose sharply defined, her facial contours coldly hard like a knife; most striking were her eyes, slightly upturned at the ends, ostensibly charming peach blossom eyes, yet conveying coldness and defiance, seemingly indifferent to everything around her. The robe looked torn, exposing delicate collarbones, her chest barely concealed with a hand clutching the garment, invoking longing to embrace and care for her.

Gan Jiu and Shi Dazhu were dumbfounded – how could someone be this stunning, too much of a steal for Dog Xin, the country bumpkin, especially Shi Dazhu, who couldn’t have imagined this girl could look so good even with Mei Niang’s descriptions. Even placed in Jiuxiao Building, she’d be first-rate.

Fatty Nine instinctively wiped his mouth, "Linglong sister, come, sit with me here."

The woman beside him pinched him hard, failing to snap Fatty Nine out of his daze, remaining fixated on Linglong. Linglong kept her face expressionless, glancing at the three.

"Master Xin, do you find her suitable?"

Li Xin gazed at the girl before him, her aura weak yet the stubborn determination within her akin to an unsheathed blade; surely, a girl like this would not willingly wither here.

"Suitable, very suitable," Gan Jiu instinctively said.

Shi Dazhu coughed dryly, "Let Miss Linglong choose for herself; after all, in our Divine Land, everyone adheres to the law. No coercion, no coercion."

Shi Dazhu tried making his voice gentle, fearing he might scare the delicate maiden. Mei Niang mentioned she was still inexperienced, intensifying his eagerness; no need to waste effort confronting Li Xin.
