My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 149 - 121: Red Willow Lane, Chaofeng Pavilion (Part 2)

Chapter 149: Chapter 121: Red Willow Lane, Chaofeng Pavilion (Part 2)

No wonder Xue Qianbai looked at me with that strange expression.

That feeling is like seeing someone stop at traffic lights while playing Grand Theft Auto – it’s just odd.

"Cough, cough." Li Changqing coughed to hide his embarrassment, then said, "If you say wait till it’s dark, then fine."

"But for you to be so apprehensive, is Zhao Beiming really that formidable?" Li Changqing was genuinely curious, especially since he had witnessed Xue Qianbai’s prowess yesterday.

At the same Grandmaster level, Old Demon Xiang couldn’t withstand two strikes from Xue Qianbai.

"One day, if you provoke Zhao Beiming, you’ll fear him too," Xue Qianbai smiled faintly.

"Forget it, I’m not someone who likes stirring up trouble," Li Changqing quickly shook his head, unwilling to get mixed up with such troublesome people.

"Sometimes you don’t provoke trouble, but trouble finds you," Xue Qianbai poured some wine for Li Changqing, "The stronger you become, the higher you stand, the more trouble comes your way."

Li Changqing took a sip of wine, knowing Xue Qianbai was right, like with the Longevity Sect.

"Why can’t you draw your sword before midnight?" Li Changqing suddenly recalled an incident with Xue Qianbai, where he seemed to be chased for a long time but refused to draw his sword until after midnight.

"Sword bathing for three days," Xue Qianbai replied slowly.

"Only at midnight does it complete three days, so before that, I don’t draw my sword."

"Sword bathing?" Li Changqing thought of something he’d seen written in a book at the Ten Thousand Books Tower.

"Sword bathing is something sword dancers do," Li Changqing recalled the contents of the book and said, "And I remember the tradition of sword bathing by sword dancers is only found in a place called the Qinyang Dynasty."

"You seem to know quite a bit of useless knowledge," Xue Qianbai chuckled.

"If there’s an opportunity in the future, I’ll tell you more about it," Xue Qianbai didn’t intend to continue the conversation.

At this time, the dishes Li Changqing ordered also arrived, and he was already starving.

The sky gradually darkened.

Slowly, it turned completely dark.

And the inner city gates had closed early.

In Beihan City, the outer city occupies the most area, with most residents being ordinary citizens and some low-ranking officials.

The inner city, however, is home to high-ranking officials and nobility.

There’s also the Beihan Country’s Imperial Court and various Prince’s Mansions.

Even the guards in the inner city are stricter, with the inner guards starting at the Innate level, and many experts guarding Beihan Country’s Imperial Court.

Rumbling.

The inner city gates closed.

With the gate closure, the guards became less strict.

The city walls are about fifty to sixty meters high.

Ordinary people can’t climb them, and there are Innate powerhouses stationed on the walls, so even if other Innate powerhouses try to climb over the walls, they would be detected.

The security is incredibly strict.

At this time, outside the city walls, Xue Qianbai stood with Li Changqing beside a side wall, leaving Ah Fei to wait at the inn since with Xue Qianbai around, there shouldn’t be any serious danger.

"So high," Li Changqing marveled, sensing the solemn atmosphere within the inner city.

"Let’s go," Xue Qianbai spoke softly, then floated up into the air, soaring into the sky.

Under the moonlight, the fluttering white robe was especially graceful, and in the blink of an eye, he flew onto the city wall and disappeared from Li Changqing’s view.

"This guy can fly?" Li Changqing was shocked.

Not many martial artists can fly; at least, none Li Changqing previously met could.

Even Old Demon Xiang, also in the Great Perfection Realm, couldn’t fly.

And yet, Xue Qianbai could!

Feeling astonished, Li Changqing casually stepped on a branch and soared into the air, quickly climbing over the city wall.

The two landed on the inner city’s street when no one was watching.

"This is the inner city."

Li Changqing gazed at the scene before him, realizing it was a completely different world.

The outer city was bustling, but compared to the inner city, it wasn’t even in the same league.

The distant lights seemed to illuminate half the sky.

The noise was like daytime.

Walking on the streets, there was glitz and glamour everywhere.

The surrounding shops were all open, the streets bustling with people, all sorts of Spirit Beast-drawn carriages could be seen, every corner exuding an air of opulence.

"This place is so extravagant," Li Changqing exclaimed in shock.

"The inner city of Beihan Country is very lavish; there are even famous money pits here. As long as you have money, you can get anything you want here. Generally speaking, most of the consumption in the inner city is by those not local to Beihan City."

As Xue Qianbai spoke, he led Li Changqing to a busy alley.

"This is the largest money pit in Beihan City, Red Willow Lane; someone once spent ten million gold there in one night."

"Ten million gold!" Li Changqing was startled by the number!

Li Changqing thought he was wealthy with eight million silver on him.

But after coming here, Li Changqing realized that eight million silver wasn’t that much money.

Not enough for the rich to spend freely for one night.

"This is a place to find women, isn’t it?" Following Xue Qianbai, Li Changqing entered Red Willow Lane, surrounded by singing and dancing with the sound of various musical instruments; he instantly realized this must be the fabled brothel.

"Yes," Xue Qianbai nodded.

"What kind of woman is worth ten million gold?" Li Changqing didn’t understand.

"The one you love," Xue Qianbai suddenly looked at Li Changqing, seriously saying, "She’s priceless."

Seeing Xue Qianbai’s serious expression, Li Changqing suddenly felt he looked more like a customer of a brothel than a swordsman.

"Why did you bring me here, is the black market inside?" Li Changqing looked around, noticing many young and beautiful women waving at him.

Charming to the extreme, their voices even carried an alluring power, and if one’s will wasn’t firm, they could truly be drawn in.

"We’re almost there."

Xue Qianbai led Li Changqing onward.

"The women here seem to know a charm skill," Li Changqing felt puzzled.

"Correct."

"But your Divine Soul is strong enough to resist," Xue Qianbai stopped walking, his gaze falling on a nearby brothel.

Above the entrance, three large characters were written.

Chaofeng Pavilion.

In Li Changqing’s view, this Chaofeng Pavilion was no different from other brothels.

Who knew Xue Qianbai would suddenly step inside.

Li Changqing had no choice but to follow suit.

Although Li Changqing was currently single, his past experiences made him feel uneasy about such places.

Upon entering Chaofeng Pavilion, Li Changqing was immediately surrounded by scantily clad women.

Their shoulders were exposed, their gaze incredibly seductive, and their long legs particularly eye-catching.

"Dear sir, you’re so handsome; I like the cool and collected vibe you have, it suits my taste perfectly."

One woman approached Xue Qianbai directly.

However, before she could get close, she found an air barrier around Xue Qianbai, keeping her five feet away.

"No fun,"

Her eager gaze immediately dimmed.

At this point, a voice called out, "Seems like you two aren’t here for fun, but to see some goods."

The women parted, and an older lady walked out, exuding a mature charm, holding a tobacco pipe.

She glanced at Xue Qianbai, then at Li Changqing.

"I wondered who it was; it’s the Thousand Snow Sword Venerable, a rare guest indeed."

"Lead the way," Xue Qianbai wasted no words, showing no interest in the surrounding beauties.

"Bringing an ordinary person along, is that all right?" The woman remarked, looking at Li Changqing.
