Chapter 10: Will He Like It?

Ten gacha pulls with no SSR, ten multi-pulls still failing to get the swimsuit servant, five ranked matches in a row with AFK teammates, and being the only one missing a textbook when they were handed out for the new semester…
Seriously, Lin Xun felt that his non-mainstream European [unlucky] power was already unmatched!
But today!
Today, he actually won the grand prize just by buying a piece of jewelry?!
However, before Lin Xun could immerse himself in the joy of the grand prize, a group of scantily clad women, smelling so fragrant they almost gave Lin Xun pollen allergies, suddenly rushed out and pulled him into Chunfeng House.

Lin Xun wanted to struggle, stating that he was a married man, but a young woman just smiled sweetly, gave him a wink, and said in a soft, seductive voice, “Wouldn’t that make it even more wonderful?”

Lin Xun was stunned on the spot. They play this wild?

Finally, under Lin Xun’s vow of defiance (while being half-pushed, half-willing), he was still brought into Chunfeng House.

To be honest, Lin Xun really didn’t want to come here to eat “seafood.” In fact, he just wanted to experience it a little.

How to put it… curiosity… yes, that’s right, curiosity.
Back when he was in the Myriad Demons Sect, he was always carrying a hard, black spear, fighting his way in and out of various major sects. Where would he have had the time to go to a brothel?

Now that he was married, he certainly couldn’t go!
But just looking should be fine, right? It was a freebie anyway, just to experience the atmosphere.

Otherwise, having transmigrated to an ancient era without ever visiting a brothel, as a man, he felt like something was missing, like eating noodles without garlic.

“Young Master, please wait a moment. Miss Nongqin is currently dressing up and will be ready soon.”

Five or six beautiful “seafood-selling” women pressed Lin Xun down onto a private seat on the second floor.

They looked at Lin Xun’s handsome and dashing face, and from the pulling just now, felt his tall and sturdy figure. They all swallowed their saliva, like she-wolves with glowing green eyes.

However, they didn’t make any extra moves. After leading Lin Xun to the private seat, they withdrew.

After all, what Lin Xun had won was “a solo performance by Nongqin,” not the whole dragon service package. Besides, Lin Xun hadn’t paid any money, so those girls naturally wouldn’t act recklessly.

Lin Xun felt it was for the best that they didn’t act recklessly. He was just here to listen to Nongqin play a tune, that was all. And he did have some questions he wanted to ask.

For example, why on earth did she start selling her art?

“Hey! Did you hear? The Gu-Poison Sect’s formation array was broken!”

Just as Lin Xun was enjoying the free flower wine, the conversation of some rogue cultivators on the second floor reached his ears.

“Isn’t that right? All those elders of the Gu-Poison Sect pissed their pants! I heard that when the disciples went in, the whole place reeked of piss.”

“That’s not all! The cultivation of all those Gu-Poison Sect elders was crippled! The sect’s spirit vein was severed. I’m afraid they won’t be able to catch their breath for several hundred years.”

“Can’t catch their breath? Hehe, I heard the Gu-Poison Sect’s Master is in death seclusion, all the top-tier elder combatants are crippled, and the formation array is broken! The Gu-Poison Sect is now a piece of fat meat. Demonic path, righteous path, who wouldn’t want to take a bite?”

“Indeed. My wife’s best friend’s husband’s boyfriend’s wife’s son is my third grand-nephew’s youngest son. He joined the Gu-Poison Sect a few years ago. I heard he ran away overnight carrying a bag of spirit stones! Good heavens, even a flying sword couldn’t catch him.”

“Hehehe, actually, I know who that great power who destroyed the Gu-Poison Sect is.”

“Oh? Who?”

“The Saintess of the Violet Mist Holy Land! That Blood Centipede was a product of the Gu-Poison Sect! They wanted to sacrifice a city, and the Saintess couldn’t stand it, so she naturally annihilated the sect! Leaving those elders alive was just so they could witness the destruction of their own sect with their own eyes!”

“Holy crap! That’s ‘shrimp-meat-pig-heart’ [brutally rubbing salt in the wound]!”

“Our righteous path’s Saintess is truly extraordinary!”

“…”

Listening to their discussion, Lin Xun smiled and shook his head. He didn’t expect that the matter of the Gu-Poison Sect would spread so quickly in just a few days.

But it was fine. His identity wasn’t exposed, and no one suspected him, so there was no problem.

As for why he didn’t kill those elders…
It wasn’t that Lin Xun was really being cruel. It was because although the Gu-Poison Sect’s Master had been beaten into withdrawal by Lin Xun, they had some sort of friendship.

Lin Xun had promised the Gu-Poison Sect’s Master that if the Gu-Poison Sect ever offended him in the future, he would leave them a path to survival.

Compared to that, Lin Xun felt the most important thing was the “demonic sword.”

From the mouths of those elders, Lin Xun learned that the Gu-Poison Sect had sacrificed the Blood Centipede to search for the demonic sword.

This news was gradually spreading among the demonic sects, and it wasn’t just one sect that knew. It was just that the Gu-Poison Sect had acted first.

Thinking of this, Lin Xun felt a bit of a headache.

He just wanted a peaceful life… why was it so difficult?
“Young Master Lin, Miss Nongqin requests your presence.”

As Lin Xun sighed in his heart and melancholically ate three large bowls of braised beef, a handmaiden who looked no more than fourteen came out and invited him.

The little girl’s voice wasn’t loud, but it caused a domino effect. Countless customers in Chunfeng House successively looked at Lin Xun, their eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Especially some of the rich patrons whose clothes alone were worth a house in Luo City. They looked like they wanted to eat Lin Xun alive.

They knew Lin Xun was just going to listen to a song and couldn’t possibly have any contact with that Miss Nongqin!
But when had Miss Nongqin ever played a solo piece for just one person?! This was the first time!

This time, the Yufeng Zhai jewelry shop’s lottery! The grand prize was this very opportunity!
They had bought ten of the most expensive pieces of jewelry (you could only buy once, one piece of jewelry per lottery ticket), and didn’t win even once in ten tries!

But this poor kid won on his first try!
MMP! Does he have some special bloodline or something?!
At this thought, they felt a tightness in their chests.

“I’ll have to trouble you to lead the way, miss.”

Putting aside his thoughts, Lin Xun walked towards the top floor under the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the entire Chunfeng House.

Lin Xun somewhat understood why so many people in the group chats in his previous life liked to be “seals” [show-offs].

This feeling! It was simply too exhilaratingly sour!
“Sister, Young Master Lin is here.”

The handmaiden knocked on the door.

“Young Master, please come in.”

From within the room came Nongqin’s silky and seductive voice.

The door opened, and Lin Xun stepped inside. The handmaidens bowed their heads in a salute and all withdrew, leaving only Lin Xun and Nongqin in the room.

“Greetings, Miss Jiang.”

Lin Xun bowed with his hands clasped.

“Like this…”

“Like this…”

“And then like this…”

In an alley in Luo City, within a courtyard, a girl in a light dress was on her tiptoes, her graceful figure turning, her flawless, white-jade body glowing with a faint luster.

The young woman named Jiang Qingshang danced gracefully. However, this pure and beautiful butterfly was a bit clumsy, yet her clumsiness was adorable.

“Will he like it?”

The young woman murmured to herself, slightly puzzled, but she quickly resumed her practice.

“You like to watch women dance?”

“It’s alright, I guess? But I’d much rather watch you dance.”

“In your dreams. I’m not going to dance for you.”

Involuntarily recalling the conversation with her husband on the bank of the Luo River that night, the corners of the young woman’s mouth hooked up slightly. She once again turned lightly, her skirt flying, as graceful as a startled swan.
