Chapter 262: There’s Something Delicious on Her

Chapter 262: Chapter 262: There’s Something Delicious on Her

’Could such a coincidence really exist in this world?’

Chu Fan couldn’t help but overthink it.

Of all things, Yan Ying had to visit a brothel today. Of all things, the Xi Jun Building had to be auctioning off a courtesan’s first night. Of all things, after arriving at the Xi Jun Building, they ended up in this private room. And of all things, they just happened to meet Lü Yunxiu.

If he didn’t trust Yan Ying as much as he did, he would definitely be suspicious of her.

But now, he couldn’t help but harbor a sliver of doubt.

Chu Fan had firsthand experience with the power of the intelligence network controlled by the Crown Prince, Long Jingyao.

It was hard to believe the Crown Prince would be completely unaware that Lü Yunxiu and her group were lying in wait in the Central Domain.

’If the Crown Prince already knows about Lü Yunxiu and her people, then what is the meaning of this arrangement tonight?’

Returning to the table, Yan Ying asked, "What’s wrong? What were you talking about with this young master’s woman? If you really like her, I’ll let you have her tonight."

"Would you believe me if I said we’ve met before?" Chu Fan asked, looking into Yan Ying’s eyes.

"Oh? Such a coincidence? Then I have all the more reason to give her to you tonight."

Looking into Yan Ying’s eyes, he saw nothing unusual. However, with her intelligence, she had detected the probing nature of his words.

"You know that between us, everything I have is yours," Yan Ying added.

"My apologies for being so suspicious, but I can’t help it. I cherish my life, because there are many people who need me to protect them," Chu Fan said, getting straight to the point.

Just then, the scene outside suddenly grew boisterous.

Turning his head, he saw a woman as graceful as an immortal walking on air toward the center of the stage. Her flowing long dress and cloud-like sleeves drifted with the wind, making her truly look like a fairy descending to the mortal realm.

’Beautiful. Truly beautiful. Worthy of a woman on the Hundred Flowers List.’

Wen Chan, ranked twelfth on the Hundred Flowers List.

’Ninety-three points,’ Chu Fan scored her in his mind. ’If not for that hint of a courtesan’s air about her, she could rival Yun Xi, Leng Yingxue, and even Yan Ying in her female attire.’

"TWANG... TWANG TWANG..."

The moment she landed, she began to play the pipa in her arms.

Listening to the powerful, clanging melody, one couldn’t help but imagine a general commanding his troops on the battlefield.

And then, Chu Fan actually saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. But above it all stood a woman who looked like an Immortal God.

The woman was not only stunningly beautiful, but also possessed a majesty that forbade any thought of profanity.

"A Spiritual Martial Artist!"

Chu Fan suddenly realized and slapped Yan Ying on the shoulder.

The four women before them, Lü Yunxiu included, were all bewitched by Wen Chan’s pipa music. They were striking seductive poses, even beginning to remove their already thin garments.

Having suffered in an Illusion Realm before, Chu Fan was especially sensitive to them.

He hadn’t expected this woman to also be a Spiritual Martial Artist.

Chu Fan released a bit of his Spiritual Power to probe the private room next door. Just as he’d suspected, the men and women inside were already entangled with one another.

"What’s going on?" Yan Ying asked, a little confused.

Chu Fan ignored the four women for the moment and instead asked Yan Ying, "Have you ever heard of a Sect that specializes in cultivating Spiritual Power? Especially this kind of bewitching Illusion Technique."

Yan Ying shook her head. "There are those who cultivate Spiritual Power in our Celestial Dao Palace. The ones with the strongest Spiritual Power are none other than the Four Saints of the literary world. Of course, the Central Domain is vast, with countless Sects, so there are surely many that cultivate Spiritual Power. As for those who practice Illusion Techniques, I can’t say I’ve heard of any."

"It seems this Xi Jun Building has quite the background. A famous establishment like this must have Court factions backing it, right? Do you know whose business it is?" Chu Fan asked again.

Yan Ying shook her head again. After all, she rarely returned to the Capital City. She spent most of her time on Laojun Mountain, so her knowledge of affairs in the Capital City was limited.

Chu Fan walked over to Lü Yunxiu and slapped her shoulder, snapping her out of it.

When she came to her senses and saw her own state of undress, as well as that of the other three women, her face flushed crimson.

"Do you know which Court official or noble stands behind this Xi Jun Building?"

"I do. It’s the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lord Lian Xiuping. Lord Lian’s eldest son is entertaining guests in a private room on this third floor."

The pipa was still playing. By now, the music was as gentle as a cloud with a long, lingering charm, but to Chu Fan’s ears, it was merely a decent tune.

He had only fallen into the Illusion Realm because he was caught off guard. The fact that he broke free so quickly meant that this woman, Wen Chan, must have a lower Spiritual Power than him.

Chu Fan was now wondering whether he should get involved. Would it just cause unnecessary trouble, or could he gain something from it?

As he hesitated, the White Fox suddenly burrowed into his arms.

"Hm? What are you doing here?"

He had clearly left the White Fox at the Eastern Palace and hadn’t brought it with him at all. He never expected the little thing to show up here.

"Brother, you’re being naughty. You went out to play without me."

’This little thing has some nerve, calling *me* naughty?’ Chu Fan couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

"How did you find me?" Chu Fan asked.

Seeing Chu Fan talking to the White Fox, Yan Ying and Lü Yunxiu stared at him as if he were a monster. The strange part was, after Chu Fan spoke, the White Fox would let out a whimper or two in response.

"I can smell Brother’s nice scent! Wherever Brother goes, I can find you."

"Alright then!"

"Brother, do you know the sister playing the pipa down there?"

Chu Fan said, "I don’t."

"Can you ask her to come home with you? She has something yummy on her."

Chu Fan couldn’t help but roll his eyes again. The woman was only wearing a thin gauze dress. Where could she possibly be hiding snacks?

However, the White Fox’s words tipped the wavering scales in Chu Fan’s mind toward getting involved.

The faction Wen Chan belonged to had to be extraordinary. Perhaps their group had many Spiritual Power Cultivation Techniques. This was also an opportunity to see what their true intentions were.

Of course, Chu Fan didn’t think their presence had anything to do with him. After all, his and Yan Ying’s decision to come here had been completely spontaneous.

"Are you really talking to it?" Yan Ying couldn’t help but ask, pointing at the White Fox in bewilderment.

Chu Fan nodded and said, "Once your Spiritual Power reaches Level 30, you can communicate with intelligent Demon Beasts. Didn’t you know?"

Of course Yan Ying didn’t know, because Chu Fan was just making it all up. In truth, he himself didn’t understand why he could hear the White Fox speak.

"Then what on earth are you two talking about?" Yan Ying asked.

"It said the woman has something yummy on her and that I should bring her home," Chu Fan relayed.

However, this sentence earned him an eye-roll from Yan Ying. "Men. Finally showing your true colors, are you? All men in this world are the same. You see a pretty woman and you just have to hit on her. No wonder Leng... she’s also developed feelings for you!"

"What are you even talking about? When have I ever hit on women?" Chu Fan said, feeling wronged.

"Still won’t admit it? Could you at least find a better excuse when you lie? Do all the clothes on her body even weigh two taels? How much of her is even covered? She has snacks hidden on her? You gonna nurse?" Yan Ying said, puffing her cheeks in anger.

"Erk!" Chu Fan was rendered speechless by her retort.

But he was telling the absolute truth! Why wouldn’t she believe him?

’Women!’

Chu Fan let out a deep sigh.

"It’s all your fault, you little thing!" Chu Fan poked the White Fox’s forehead with his finger.

"Alright, stop shifting the blame. If you want her, then this young master will win her for you tonight, no matter how many silver taels it costs!"

This time, Yan Ying was truly angry. She felt that she had misjudged Chu Fan.

But even if Chu Fan had a hundred mouths, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself!
