160: Guaranteed to satisfy you

"No, no, no!" Wei Xun pinched his nose, overwhelmed by the strong, cloying fragrance emanating from the two girls. "You're too ugly, I don't like it!"

With that, Wei Xun turned and walked away.

"Hey, why is this Little One so rude?"

"I think he's the one with a problem. My sister and I are as beautiful as flowers! How could he call us ugly!"

"I think so too. This Little One definitely has issues down there!"

After the two women complained about Wei Xun for a few moments, they burst into laughter and then went off to flirt with other men on the street.

Having shaken off the two women, Wei Xun continued deeper into the street, constantly approached by alluringly and revealingly dressed courtesans from the brothel.

It made Wei Xun feel a little shy.

"Little One, would you like to come in and have a drink with me!"

Just then, another woman in sheer gauze appeared beside Wei Xun. Through the translucent fabric, her fair skin and impressive peaks were faintly visible.

"I want to ask you about someone!"

Wei Xun had searched for a long time without any clues, so he had no choice but to ask the staff of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

"Who is Little One looking for?" The woman pouted, looking as if she were jealous. "Am I, your younger sister, not pretty enough, or is my figure not graceful enough?"

As she spoke, the woman wrapped Wei Xun's arm in her embrace, rubbing her soft bosom against him.

"You..." Wei Xun wanted to pull his arm out, but he was afraid of hurting the woman, so he simply let her continue her performance.

"I want to inquire about where Miss Yan'er is."

Hearing the name Miss Yan'er, the woman was momentarily stunned, then said shyly, "Miss Yan'er isn't someone you can just see! Little One, why don't you come in and have a drink and chat with me today! Your younger sister here knows many skills, I guarantee your satisfaction!"

Wei Xun felt a slight discomfort from Si Niang wrapped around his arm, so he immediately pulled his arm away. "Stop rubbing! Just tell me where Miss Yan'er is."

After saying this, Wei Xun flipped his hand and produced a silver ingot, slipping it into the woman's hand.

Seeing the tip, the woman immediately pocketed the silver and then smiled, saying, "You really can't see Miss Yan'er today, but I can tell you when she will be out!"

"What do you mean?" Wei Xun was puzzled. "Do people in your line of work have days off?"

"What kind of person is Miss Yan'er?" The woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly. "She's the top courtesan of our Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. She only performs the zither seven days a month, and every time she performs, half the men in the city try to squeeze in to see her. Those who come late have no chance at all!"

"Then when will this Miss Yan'er perform the zither next?" Wei Xun could only follow up with his question.

"The day after tomorrow!" The woman continued, "However, to get a spot inside the building and catch a glimpse of Miss Yan'er's true appearance, you need to book in advance. If you're only thinking of going now, you might have to wait for the next performance."

"You definitely have a way!" Wei Xun said, slipping another silver ingot to the woman.

After receiving the silver ingot, the woman continued, "I happen to have an entry pass here, but ten taels of silver is a bit too little!"

The woman finished speaking and took out a wooden plaque the size of a jade pendant from her waist. It was engraved with exquisite patterns and the three prominent characters for "Entry Pass."

"This should be enough!" Wei Xun had no choice but to take out another ten-tael gold ingot from his ring and press it into the woman's hand.

After receiving the gold, the woman finally placed the wooden plaque into Wei Xun's hand with satisfaction.

"The day after tomorrow, at You Shi (5-7 PM), remember to bring this entry pass and come back here. With this pass, you'll be able to see Miss Yan'er!" The woman reminded him again after putting away the money.

"Alright!" Wei Xun also put away the wooden plaque and then said, "Besides the day after tomorrow, is there no other way to see her normally?"

"Of course not! Miss Yan'er is someone even the City Lord's Young Master wants to marry, what kind of status is that?" The woman covered her mouth and chuckled. "On normal days, we don't even know where Miss Yan'er is; we simply can't see her!"

"Alright!" Wei Xun turned to leave.

But the woman behind him stepped forward and grabbed Wei Xun again. "Little One, Miss Yan'er isn't available right now, but I, Miss Yuan'er, have time to accompany you. If you want to listen to music, your younger sister here also plays the zither and can play it especially for you!"

"Next time!" Wei Xun said, and was about to leave.

However, the woman seemed unwilling to let go of such a valuable patron so easily and wanted to try one more time.

But Wei Xun turned back and glared fiercely at the woman, instantly revealing a murderous aura.

Upon feeling that gaze, the woman immediately released Wei Xun's arm. Just that one look had scared her so much that cold sweat broke out on her back.

By the time the woman recovered, Wei Xun had already disappeared from the street.

"What just happened!" The woman swallowed, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her hand, and took a long time to recover.

After that one glance, the woman felt as if she had walked through the gates of hell.

After walking out of the entire street of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, Wei Xun found an inn nearby and booked a good room for himself to rest.

He took a long-awaited hot bath, then ordered a table full of delicious food.

By the time he had eaten and drunk his fill, night had already fallen.

Wei Xun sat cross-legged on the bed in the room, while Si Niang, in human form, sat resting on a chair by the bed.

"I'm about to Breakthrough to the third layer of Pure Yang. Help me guard the door!" Wei Xun told Si Niang.

"Don't worry, Big Brother!" Si Niang smiled slightly. "With me guarding, nothing will happen!"

Immediately after, Wei Xun pulled out one of his hairs and blew it into the air.

The hair floated in the air, instantly transforming into a large Grey Fur rat that landed on the ground.

Then Wei Xun closed his eyes and began to Cultivate his Qi, while simultaneously focusing part of his mind on the rat he had transformed.

Si Niang guarded the room, and Wei Xun controlled the Spirit Beast Realm rat as it jumped out of the window.

Under the cover of night, Wei Xun used the rat's body to hide on the inn's rooftop, observing the movements around him.

Originally, Wei Xun could have Breakthrough to the third layer of Pure Yang ten days ago, but he was worried that consuming too many Medicinal Pills would affect his subsequent Cultivation. Therefore, when he was close to Breakthrough, Wei Xun intended to rely on his own Cultivation to achieve the Breakthrough for the missing Cultivation.

In the dead of night, Qian Yuan City was almost completely enveloped by darkness, leaving only the faint glow of lanterns at the entrances of some prominent households.

Just then, a person holding a dim lantern suddenly walked hurriedly down the quiet street.

"Master Zhang, where are you going?"

At that moment, a Black Armored Guard suddenly emerged from the side of the street and stopped the person.

"You…" Upon seeing the Black Armored Guard appear, the person addressed as Master Zhang immediately panicked.

"It's so late, you're not out for a stroll, are you?" The Black Armored Guard took a few steps forward.

The rat, hiding on the nearby rooftop, finally saw the Black Armored Guard's face clearly in the moonlight.

It was the bearded man he had met earlier in the restaurant.
