218: Growing haggard, will corroded

Inside the pavilion.

Fine wine and delicious food were already prepared, their rich aroma making one's mouth water.

There were five women in the pavilion, all wearing veils, their faces unidentifiable, but their figures were graceful and captivating.

One of them was a musician, dressed in a long black dress, her posture elegant, her curves exquisite and very pleasing to the eye. She sat on a chair, her dark long hair cascading to her waist, and her slender hands rested on a guqin.

Yan Junlin poured a cup of wine for Xie Weilou, then looked at the five women: "Play music, dance!"

The black-dressed woman plucked the strings, and the four women began to dance, their movements light and graceful, as if startled swans or soaring dragons, making one's blood boil.

"......"

Xie Weilou stared at the four dancing women, his eyes fixed, having already forgotten the fine wine in his cup.

Seeing this, Yan Junlin poured a cup of wine and asked with a smile: "Brother Xie, how is it?"

After Xie Weilou reacted, he quickly raised his wine cup: "Excellent!"

Yan Junlin said with a serious expression: "It's good that Brother Xie likes it. I'll give you a surprise later."

"There's still a surprise?"

Xie Weilou's face was filled with shock.

"That's natural!"

Yan Junlin's smile was incredibly rich, and he didn't reveal what the surprise was. He drank the fine wine in his cup and continued to pour another for Xie Weilou.

Subsequently, they went back and forth, drinking more than a dozen cups in a row.

"Stop!"

Yan Junlin extended his hand.

The four dancing women stopped. They lined up in a row, standing in front of Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou looked at Yan Junlin in astonishment: "This Prince, this is...?"

Yan Junlin said with a smile: "A surprise!"

After he finished speaking, the four women removed their veils.

Xie Weilou looked over, and after seeing them, his face was covered in black lines. He looked at Yan Junlin speechlessly: "This... this is the surprise you mentioned?"

What is all this?

Their figures were excellent, but their faces were truly not to be complimented.

The four women were all incredibly ugly; some had wrinkled faces, some had stubble, some had crooked mouths, and some were grimacing.

Earlier, the beautiful women dancing gracefully was indeed pleasing to the eye, making him wish to drink three hundred cups.

But at this moment, he only wanted to say one thing: since their figures won the world, why reveal their faces and spoil the beauty?

He seemed to have thought of something.

Xie Weilou looked at Yan Junlin with a strange expression: "This Prince actually has this taste! It's truly a peculiar hobby, quite unique."

Yan Junlin's mouth twitched, but he still said: "Just tell me if it's a surprise."

Xie Weilou sighed: "It is indeed a surprise, but this kind of surprise is completely unnecessary."

Yan Junlin shook his head: "Brother Xie! Lust is the foremost of all evils, and so-called beauties are merely red-faced skeletons. Now that you have embarked on the path of cultivation, how can you be infatuated by mere beauty?"

Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow: "That's not right! The 'lust' in 'lust is the foremost of all evils' refers to greed, doesn't it?"

Yan Junlin gave an awkward smile: "Anyway, that's the meaning! A true man, born between heaven and earth, should have grand ambitions. How can he let mere women dampen his ambition or obstruct his path?"

Xie Weilou held his wine cup, a thoughtful expression on his face, and murmured: "This Young Master is constantly infatuated with wine and women, growing haggard day by day, his will corroding... From today onwards, I will quit drinking!"

Yan Junlin: "......"

So, everything I said went completely unheard by you?

Xie Weilou threw the wine cup onto the table. He looked at the black-dressed woman playing the zither: "That beauty hasn't removed her veil yet, she should look decent, right?"

"Cough cough!"

Yan Junlin lightly coughed.

The black-dressed woman looked at Xie Weilou. Her figure flashed, and she instantly appeared in front of Xie Weilou. Her jade fingers reached out, gently caressing Xie Weilou's cheek, and her eyes, flashing with blue light, said sweetly: "Young Master, am I beautiful?"

Xie Weilou's expression froze, his eyes becoming somewhat hollow: "She hasn't even taken off her veil, she must be very ugly. Only ugly people wear veils, not daring to show their faces..."

The black-dressed woman: "......"

She gritted her silver teeth and asked with a smile: "Young Master has obtained Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, do you have any thoughts?"

Xie Weilou's eyes were still hollow, and he subconsciously replied: "I'll give it to This Prince, and pledge my undying loyalty to This Prince."

Yan Junlin immediately stared at Xie Weilou, his expression stunned, a complex look appearing in his eyes: "Brother Xie, what a good person!"

The black-dressed woman narrowed her eyes and continued to ask: "Great Xia Dragon Sparrow is a national artifact, containing Great Xia's Fortune Power. The previous owners of Great Xia Dragon Sparrow were all eventually able to contend with the Emperor. Don't you have any thoughts?"

Xie Weilou murmured: "Yes! I'll give it to This Prince..."

After hearing this, the black-dressed woman fell silent. She glanced at Yan Junlin, then turned and retreated.

Yan Junlin stared at Xie Weilou and sighed: "Brother Xie, This Prince misunderstood you!"

Clap!

The black-dressed woman extended her hand and snapped her fingers.

Xie Weilou's hollow eyes gradually regained their light. He rubbed his head and said with a confused expression: "Did This Young Master drink too much? Why do I feel a bit of a headache?"

Yan Junlin quickly supported Xie Weilou: "Brother Xie has indeed had too much to drink. Let's stop here for today, we'll drink again another day! I'll have someone send Brother Xie back."

Xie Weilou stood up and shook his head: "No! This Young Master is not drunk, I am very sober right now."

After speaking, he slipped and almost fell to the ground.

Yan Junlin said with a smile: "I'll have a maid send Brother Xie back."

After speaking, he extended his hand.

A pretty maid entered the pavilion and stepped forward to support Xie Weilou.

"It seems... I really drank too much. Then let's drink again next time! This Young Master suddenly feels that there's no need to quit drinking after all."

Xie Weilou waved to Yan Junlin.

"Alright, alright, alright."

Yan Junlin nodded with a smile.

Then, the maid helped Xie Weilou walk out of the pavilion.

After Xie Weilou left.

The smile on Yan Junlin's face disappeared. He looked at the black-dressed woman: "What does Saintess think?"

The black-dressed woman said indifferently: "My Demonic Sect's Soul Bewitching Art naturally has no problems, but this person lacks ambition. I think you don't need to get too close to him."

"A person with too much ambition is the real threat."

Yan Junlin smiled faintly.

"Perhaps."

The black-dressed woman replied indifferently.

——

On the street.

Xie Weilou stepped out of the carriage. He waved to the maid: "This Young Master is sober now, you can go back."

The maid bowed, then lightly waved her hand, and the coachman drove the carriage away.

Xie Weilou put his hands in his sleeves, a very rich smile on his face, and murmured to himself: "That woman actually has demonic energy on her, that's quite interesting!"

"Young Master!"

At this moment, a voice sounded.

Xie Weilou looked over and saw Jiang Yu walking quickly towards him. She was in good condition now, with an aura of a cultivator emanating from her.

"Jiang Er."

Xie Weilou was a little surprised. He looked at Jiang Yu: "You've embarked on the path of cultivation?"

A smile appeared on Jiang Yu's face: "Thank you for the pills Young Master gave me. After taking them, my injuries have recovered, and I even inexplicably entered the Xuanhuang Realm. Now I've also entered a cultivation academy in Tianqi City."

Xie Weilou said with a smile: "Being able to enter the Xuanhuang Realm is because you already have a spiritual bone, it has little to do with my pills."

He then asked: "How are things at Earl Xining's Mansion now?"

Jiang Yu's uncle, aunt, and elder sister were all still imprisoned in Tianquan Division, so naturally, Jiang Yu was in charge of Earl Xining's Mansion now.
