Chapter 900: Chapter 117: Immortal Master, Why Did He Leave?

The two exchanged a glance and laughed heartily, taking a sip of wine.

"Hehe, after dealing with this bumpkin, anything between us will be easy. Such a pity for this dead bastard."

"Damn it, if I had known this chick was so good-looking, I wouldn’t have let him have the first taste!"

"Didn’t Mei Niang explain it clearly? This is such a big matter; this woman isn’t trustworthy."

"She did say she was as beautiful as a fairy, but she always calls everyone a fairy. Who would’ve known a real fairy would show up?" Shi Dazhu felt awful, as if he had eaten something vile; this was supposed to be his.

He was the protector of Phoenix Singing Pavilion, which meant safeguarding its secrets and safety. Sometimes, he was responsible for checking the goods. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so he continued drinking with the other man, sighing deeply.

Having arrived at the elegant room, Li Xin sat down. Linglong looked at him, brought a basin of water, and cleaned his face. The room was warmly and elegantly decorated with a touch of red makeup. Li Xin inspected it, "Is the treatment always this good?"

"This is only for the rites of passage," Linglong said, her pretty face blushing slightly, letting out a gentle sigh, as if resigning to her fate.

"How much to buy your freedom?" Li Xin asked with a smile.

"Money won’t do, it requires Spirit Stones. Probably five Middle-Grade Spirit Stones," Linglong sighed gently, remembering Li Xin was from outside, "Middle-Grade Spirit Stones are extremely rare and invaluable. Generally, cultivators have a hard time possessing them; their price is immeasurable."

Li Xin nodded, "Sleep, I’ll buy your freedom tomorrow."

Linglong didn’t pay attention, as men always make promises before bed, but of all the people she met these days, this one was the most agreeable. She mentally prepared herself during the meal and drinks; her Spirit Root was destroyed, struggling was useless, though she had already realized this before. Those people were disgusting, but at least if she were to be given to someone, it should be to someone she liked.

Li Xin lay on the bed. Seeing that he had no intention of making a move, Linglong took off her makeup, got into bed cautiously, and slowly lay down beside him. Her heart was pounding, and she gripped the sheets tightly. Here, she had seen many men leap at her like beasts, and even the madam said no matter how proper a man was, he was the same after undressing.

Linglong let her trembling body calm slightly, waiting for the impending storm.

It wasn’t long before Li Xin’s snoring reached her ears.

The next morning, Li Xin woke up, found Linglong wide-eyed, curiously observing him. Her eyes had a mix of relief, confusion, and indescribable emotions.

"Hold out your hand," Li Xin said.

Linglong hesitated but extended her left hand. Li Xin made a cut on her finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the bedsheet.

Linglong blushed, "Master Xin, I’m afraid this won’t fool the madam."

"Just for show, we’ll do the full act, and she won’t have a chance to check it. You stay here and wait." Li Xin said.

With that, Li Xin tore off that section of the bedsheet and leisurely went to find the madam.

When he found Mei Niang, she was still drowsy. After working the night shift, who woke up this early? "Oh, Master Xin, you sure are fit, getting up so soon."

"Haha, are you mocking me, Madam?" Li Xin said coolly.

"It’s nothing like that. Such a little beauty couldn’t even keep you from rising early. You must have strong willpower. I hope you can look after us more often," Mei Niang said, her morning grumpiness dissipating.

Li Xin waved the cloth in his hand, "I’m buying her freedom. How much do you want?"

"Oh my, dear sir, this is my precious Treasure Basin, bought at a hefty price. You’re practically asking me to hand over the whole basin, which won’t do," Mei Niang quickly waved her hands in disagreement.

Li Xin chuckled, "This woman is a cultivator. Although her Spirit Root is shattered, she can still kill using certain techniques. With my help, do you think you can keep your Phoenix Singing Pavilion open? Some money can be earned, and some cannot."

Mei Niang’s expression changed slightly, "You’re a friend of Master Zhu’s, you wouldn’t do that."

"Hehe, do you really think we are? They offended me; yesterday was to apologize. Of course, feel free to test me." Li Xin said with a smile.

Mei Niang contemplated for a moment, looking at Li Xin’s demeanor. She knew these Loose Cultivators didn’t regard people highly, "Master Xin, I bought this woman for two Middle-Grade Spirit Stones and two hundred Gold Lira. How much are you planning to offer?"

"Five Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, take it or leave it," Li Xin said, seeing Mei Niang’s face light up with joy. He continued, "Don’t bargain; it’ll ruin my mood."

Mei Niang pressed her lips, ultimately daring not to increase the price further, her face breaking into a smile, "Ah, for this girl to catch your eye is her fortune; let’s do as you say."

Speaking, she eagerly watched Li Xin, who turned over his hand to reveal five Middle-Grade Spirit Stones. Mei Niang’s eyes lit up immediately, quickly pulling out a contract from her bosom, "This is Linglong’s contract, please check it."

She took the Spirit Stones eagerly, savoring the rich spiritual power, feeling relaxed all over. Although with poor aptitude, she was an Awakened, and Spirit Stones had numerous benefits.

Li Xin took the contract back to the room; Linglong was already dressed, looking at Li Xin with a complex gaze. She had slept lightly until late last night, yet nothing had happened.

Li Xin placed the contract before Linglong, "Here, this is yours; from now on, you’re free."

Linglong’s expression grew more complicated, "I may not be able to repay you."

Li Xin chuckled, "Isn’t this the time you’d offer yourself? Perhaps this is all just to win your heart."

Linglong lightly shook her head, "You might have some desire for me, but your rationality suppresses it completely. Your eyes are just like those Golden Core Great Cultivators pursuing ultimate power."

"Oh?" Li Xin raised an eyebrow lightly.

"The only thing I can offer in return is this still clean body. If you want it, take it today; if not, don’t expect any future repayment." Linglong stood up, summoned her courage to speak.

Li Xin laughed, stepped in front of Linglong, and wrapped an arm around her thin, smooth waist, his Divine Soul stirred, "Are you truly willing?"

Linglong’s body trembled slightly, like a fragile little rabbit, biting her teeth gently, eyes shut, heart firm, nodding decisively.

This submissive look made Li Xin’s forehead burn, and he pinched Linglong’s cheek.

"Little girl, I won’t fall for your trick."

Finished, Li Xin swiftly left Phoenix Singing Pavilion, feeling hot all over.

This seductive woman was truly impressive; even knowing it was all an act, he almost couldn’t resist, considering his self-control. Fatty Nine and Idiot Zhu truly were somewhat capable. Such a beautiful woman would be top-notch even in Jiuxiao Building. They really invested heavily to deal with him, so their plot in Martial Heart Sect must be significant.

In the room, Linglong was astonished, touching the cheek reddened by the pinch, watching Li Xin’s aura vanish. Not long after, Mei Niang walked in.

"Immortal Master, why did he leave?" Mei Niang asked in surprise.
