158: Miss Yan'er

“A Young Master, the son of such a big City Lord, still needs to visit a brothel?”

Wei Xun expressed some confusion.

“That, I do not know!” The official seemed unwilling to discuss this topic and shook his head.

“Then can I still see Young Master Wang today?” Wei Xun asked curiously.

“You can!”

The official nodded: “The City Lord only forbids Young Master Wang from leaving his own residence; other things are not affected.”

“So that’s how it is!” Wei Xun sighed; as long as he could see him, it was fine.

After arriving at the royal city and getting the treasure, he would then use his connections to visit the Scripture Pavilion of the Alchemy Hall to see if there was a way to cure Si Niang’s blood addiction.

Once these two matters were settled, he could return to the Black Abyss Mountain Range.

Although human towns were more comfortable to live in, he was, after all, a demon now. He could hide for a while, but staying too long always risked revealing his true nature.

If he were besieged by human Cultivators alone, things would be dire.

Moreover, Black Bear had just achieved a Breakthrough to Pure Yang Realm and become a Demon King, so he still needed to go and show his support.

After Black Bear became the new Demon King of Black Tiger Mountain, he had, as per custom, renamed Black Tiger Mountain to Black Bear Mountain.

He had appointed three new generals under him.

Three Flowers, White Dream, and that Crow Demon.

With Wei Xun’s help, Three Flowers and the Crow Demon had also achieved a Breakthrough to Body Forging Third Layer. Coupled with White Dream’s Pure Yang Realm Second Level strength, they could suppress the other demons in the mountain.

After the carriage entered the royal city, Wei Xun lifted the curtain and looked out.

The royal city of Qian Yuan City looked even more magnificent than the streets outside, and it had an added sense of majesty.

After entering the royal city, Black Armored Guards were stationed at all major intersections and palace gates, with very strict defenses.

Furthermore, the Cultivators of these soldiers guarding inside the royal city were all higher than the Black Armored Guards patrolling the streets outside.

Among the leading soldiers at those major intersections, there were even some at the Void Mansion Realm.

This Realm of humans was equivalent to the Pure Yang Realm among demons.

And Wei Xun could also feel that there were even higher Cultivators in the city.

Among human Cultivators, above the Void Mansion Realm was the Void Core Realm, and then above that, it was the same as demons: Golden Core and Soul Transformation.

So, after entering the royal city, he still needed to be low-key. Although he had the royal decree, it might not be able to intimidate everyone.

The royal city was very large, and the carriage drove for a long time before stopping in front of a temporary palace.

“This Mister, the Young Master’s residence has arrived!” The official finished speaking, got out of the carriage, and then lifted the curtain for Wei Xun.

After Wei Xun got out, he saw a luxurious mansion gate.

A huge black plaque with gold patterns hung above the gate, with three large characters written on it.

“Young Master’s Residence!”

“The Little One can only escort Mister this far!” The official told Wei Xun: “Mister can just push the door and enter; someone inside will guide you!”

“Alright!” Wei Xun nodded and then walked towards the Young Master’s residence.

After pushing open the main door, an old servant, whose hair was gray but whose body still seemed very robust, stood respectfully behind the door.

“Mister Wei, this way, please!”

The old servant smiled slightly at Wei Xun and then gestured with his hand.

Following the old servant, they walked for a long time inside the Young Master’s residence before arriving in front of a bedchamber.

“Young Master Wang is waiting for you inside!” The old servant pointed to the bedchamber in front of them.

Wei Xun smiled at the old servant and then strode over.

Just as he reached the entrance, two young palace maids in front of the bedchamber door thoughtfully opened it.

Upon entering the bedchamber, Wei Xun immediately saw Wang Tianchi sitting on a chair, drinking in silence.

However, Wang Tianchi at this moment looked much more haggard than before, with disheveled hair, a pale face, and hazy eyes.

“Oh!” Seeing Wang Tianchi’s appearance, Wei Xun couldn’t help but laugh: “What’s wrong with Young Master Wang? Why are you drowning your sorrows in alcohol?”

“Drowning my sorrows?” Wang Tianchi was stunned by the words, then began to chuckle foolishly: “I am indeed quite troubled!”

“Isn’t it just being under house arrest!” Wei Xun stepped forward to comfort him: “Is it necessary to look half-dead?”

“You don’t understand!” Wang Tianchi shook his head helplessly: “If I can’t go out, I won’t be able to see my Miss Yan’er!”

“Could it be a woman from a brothel?” Wei Xun was slightly puzzled.

Hearing Wei Xun say the words “brothel woman,” Wang Tianchi’s face instantly darkened, and he glared at Wei Xun: “What do you know? Miss Yan’er is different from other brothel women!”

“She only sells her art, not her body!”

Wang Tianchi even emphasized the last sentence when he said this.

“I didn’t realize Young Master Wang was such a romantic!” Wei Xun teased with a smile.

“Even if I tell you, a demon, you won’t understand!” Wang Tianchi glanced at Wei Xun, then shook his head helplessly.

“Let’s get back to the main topic!” Wei Xun finished speaking, then flipped his palm and took out a Spirit Peach: “I’ve brought you the Spirit Peach you wanted!”

Wang Tianchi’s eyes twitched slightly as he saw the head-sized peach in Wei Xun’s hand.

Wei Xun had obtained a total of three peaches on Lingtao Mountain at that time.

Wei Xun kept the largest one for himself and did not take it out; he only took out one of the two smaller ones.

“Indeed, this peach is big enough!” Wang Tianchi suddenly became angry after seeing the peach: “You say how good I am to that old man, even finding him a peach as a birthday gift, but he, on the other hand, puts me under house arrest in the royal city and won’t let me out!”

Hearing Wang Tianchi speak so disrespectfully to his father, Wei Xun was afraid that someone might overhear and implicate him.

“You curse your father like that?” Wei Xun asked in confusion.

“What’s wrong with cursing him?” Wang Tianchi snorted: “My old City Lord… father, his thinking is too rigid. Just because Miss Yan’er works in a brothel, he won’t let me marry her!”

“Miss Yan’er is as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, pure and unsullied. Every penny she earns is from her hard work playing the zither; she is completely different from those women who sell their bodies!”

“Good heavens!” Wei Xun was a bit speechless after hearing what Wang Tianchi said.

Yan’er was a young lady, while other brothel women were directly referred to as ‘those women.’

“Alright!” Wei Xun shook his head and said: “I’ll give you the peach, and you give me the treasure you promised me!”

“Treasure!” Wang Tianchi only came back to his senses after hearing this: “I almost forgot if you hadn’t mentioned it!”

“Don’t you dare go back on your word!” Wei Xun immediately pointed at Wang Tianchi: “To get you this Spirit Peach, I almost died in the mountains.”

“Don’t worry!” Wang Tianchi nodded: “I, Wang Tianchi, always keep my word!”

Wang Tianchi finished speaking, then reached out and touched the ring on his finger, then, out of thin air, took out a paper fan and a feather.

“The treasures I promised you are all here!” Wang Tianchi placed the items on the table, then reached out to take the Spirit Peach from Wei Xun’s hand.

“After you give this Spirit Peach to your father, he might be so happy that he’ll let you out!” Wei Xun took the newly acquired treasures, a smile on his face.

“I won’t give it to that old man!” Wang Tianchi snorted: “When I get out, I’m going to give this Spirit Peach to Miss Yan’er!”
