898: Dust-bound painted boats, countless beauties

Boom!

The Longevity Saintess suddenly drew her sword, an invincible Sword Intent erupted, instantly striking the corpse puppet in front of her.

Xie Weilou clenched his fist and punched a corpse puppet that was charging at him.

Bang!

Xie Weilou's fist struck the corpse puppet's chest, but the corpse puppet was not sent flying. Instead, This Xie was knocked back a few meters.

Xie Weilou flipped over, steadied himself, then gently rubbed his fist and sighed, "Alas! This Xie has been listening to songs in pleasure houses too much recently, and my body is a bit weak. I'm no match for these corpse puppets. This round, the Saintess wins. This Xie will take his leave first, go back and recuperate. Good luck, Saintess."

After speaking, he flew away directly.

They came to kill the Longevity Saintess; this was the Longevity Saintess's own trouble.

For him, there was no benefit in intervening, and he had no interest in getting involved.

"..."

The Longevity Saintess was a bit speechless seeing Xie Weilou decisively slip away. This guy wouldn't take even the slightest loss.

"Go deal with him."

The person in the sedan spoke indifferently.

For him, the main target today was the Longevity Saintess; everyone else was an insignificant existence, to be eliminated.

The four headless corpse puppets carrying the sedan moved and disappeared from the spot.

A thousand meters away.

Four headless corpses caught up and directly attacked Xie Weilou.

"Heh!"

Xie Weilou stopped, turned around, and unleashed a Time Finger.

Boom!

As soon as the four headless corpse puppets approached, they took a hit from the Time Finger and were instantly blasted into dust.

"..."

Xie Weilou didn't spare another glance and walked away with his hands behind his back. With the Longevity Saintess's strength, those corpse puppets and the person in the sedan couldn't do anything to her.

Rumble!

Not long after, a roar echoed from the mountains.

A terrifying Sword Qi erupted, instantly pulverizing the surrounding mountains. A thousand-meter radius turned into ruins, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

The Longevity Saintess gripped a Mysterious Man in Blood Robe by the neck and flew directly into the Void Realm. She looked at the Mysterious Person expressionlessly: "Who is your employer?"

The Mysterious Person sneered, "Assassins of the Third Watch are only responsible for taking missions and assassinating; they know nothing else!"

"What use are you then?"

The Longevity Saintess squeezed hard, and the Mysterious Person was instantly crushed into dust.

------

At night, Donghuang City was brightly lit, bustling with people, and exceptionally beautiful.

Wine shops and pleasure houses were open for business, with music and singing, and beauties dancing, making people eager to go in and explore.

On the street.

Xie Weilou strolled forward leisurely, holding his Spring and Autumn folding fan.

"Young Master below, come up and have some fun."

The courtesans on both sides of the pleasure houses held round fans, covering their lips, letting out bursts of charming laughter, their eyes fixed on Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou heard the girls' bell-like voices. He looked at the girls above and asked with a smile, "I'm a bit short on money. I wonder if I can pay on credit?"

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing this, the girls couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Prostituting on credit?

You sure can dream. Dressed like a gentleman, and not bad-looking, but turns out to be a penniless man.

Xie Weilou heard this and said with a complex expression, "Among the myriad lights of Donghuang City, not a single one belongs to This Xie. Does one not deserve love if one has no money?"

As he spoke, he was about to bury his head and enter a pleasure house!

"Who says you don't deserve love if you have no money?"

Just then, a faint laugh sounded.

Xie Weilou stopped and looked to the side, only to see a young man in a green robe, holding a folding fan, walking towards him with a smile.

The young man walked towards Xie Weilou, shaking his head with a smile, "Money can buy temporary joy, but it cannot buy vows of eternal devotion, of mountains turning to dust and seas drying up."

Xie Weilou looked at the young man in surprise: "And who might Brother be?"

The young man cupped his fists and said, "Cloud Above Stream of Prince Qings Estate!"

"Prince Qings Estate?"

Xie Weilou scrutinized the young man before him.

He was just wondering how to go to Prince Qings Estate again, but he didn't expect someone from Prince Qings Estate to come to him. How interesting.

Cloud Above Stream said with a beaming smile, "Brother, by the sea east of the city, there is a dust fate painted barge, with countless beauties. There, money is not important, only fate. If fate arrives, you can have a night of passion."

His eyes lit up, and he continued, "I heard that the owner of the dust fate painted barge is arriving soon, and she is also an absolute beauty. Yun is planning to go see her. Is Brother interested in coming along?"

"I am Xie Changan. Since Brother Yun has said so, how can I not accept? Please lead the way!"

Xie Weilou cupped his fists with a smile. This person approaching him was no coincidence; he wanted to see what the other party was planning.

"Hahaha! Brother Xie, please follow me."

Cloud Above Stream laughed heartily and flew directly in one direction.

"..."

Xie Weilou smiled and followed.

------

Half an incense stick later.

East of the city, by the sea.

A huge golden ship was docked. The ship was ornately carved and painted, resplendent and magnificent, with dazzling lights shining. Inside, bursts of music and singing emanated, refreshing the heart and mind.

Around the huge ship, there were dozens of smaller boats, all adorned with fiery red lanterns, their light brilliant.

At this moment, some Cultivators were walking along a long corridor, entering the golden ship. At a glance, most of the Cultivators were couples.

Xie Weilou and Cloud Above Stream stood on the shore.

Cloud Above Stream said to Xie Weilou, "Brother Xie, this is the dust fate painted barge. Here, there are two kinds of pleasures."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more."

Xie Weilou looked at Cloud Above Stream.

Cloud Above Stream gently waved his folding fan and said with a smile, "The first pleasure is to bring your own Dao Companion. The ship will then sail out to sea, and for the entire night, you can do whatever you wish."

"The second pleasure is to enter the painted barge alone without a Dao Companion. Then it's all about fate. If you happen to catch the eye of a lady, you can also have an encounter."

As he spoke, a graceful, mature, and charming woman in a purple dress flew over.

When Cloud Above Stream saw this woman, a smile appeared on his face: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The woman had a charming smile, and her gaze fell on Xie Weilou: "And who might this Young Master be?"

Xie Weilou smiled faintly: "I am Xie Changan."

The woman smiled sweetly: "This humble one is Purple Orchid!"

Cloud Above Stream put his arm around Purple Orchid's waist: "Purple Orchid is my Dao Companion. Brother Xie didn't bring a Dao Companion this time, but there's no need to worry. You can find a destined encounter in the painted barge later."

When Xie Weilou heard this, he subconsciously thought of the time he drank with a group of friends on Earth.

Everyone had agreed it was just for drinking, but when he arrived, everyone else had brought their partners, leaving him as the only lonely one, watching others show affection...

"..."

Xie Weilou looked in one direction and happened to see a plain-looking woman in a Daoist robe, holding a whisk sword, walking over.

"Miss Lu, how have you been!"

Xie Weilou spoke with a smile. That woman was none other than the Saintess of the Reincarnation Sect, Lu Mingya!

He wondered why she would appear here. After some time apart, Lu Mingya's cultivation was even more unfathomable.

Lu Mingya paused for a second, looked at Xie Weilou, and when she saw the words 'Spring and Autumn' on the folding fan in Xie Weilou's hand, a strange look appeared in her eyes, and she already guessed Xie Weilou's identity.

She walked towards Xie Weilou: "Shall we go up and explore together?"

"I'd be delighted!"

Xie Weilou said with a smile.

Cloud Above Stream glanced at Xie Weilou and Lu Mingya, then said with a faint smile, "So Brother Xie knows someone here! In that case, let's go up first."

"Alright."

Xie Weilou nodded.

The four walked towards the ship...
