899: In this setting, take a look at those beautiful legs?
Stepping onto the boat.
A guard came forward and gave Xie Weilou and Cloud Above Stream a token each.
Holding this token, they could move freely within the pleasure boat and enter designated rooms.
The four of them, including Xie Weilou, immediately entered the boat's interior, greeted by a magnificent, giant hall adorned with numerous drapes.
Red carpets covered the hall, where many beautiful women were dancing gracefully.
Their waists swayed, their skirts billowed like umbrellas, revealing their fair legs, while musicians played on one side, and music gradually filled the air.
Surrounding the hall were layers of red corridors, winding up to the seventh floor, with exquisite rooms behind each corridor, available for guests to rest.
Around the hall, a few lone Cultivators gathered, holding teacups, savoring fragrant tea, and leisurely watching the dancing girls.
Cloud Above Stream, with a broad smile, said to Xie Weilou: "Brother Xie, Purple Orchid and I will go to our room to attend to some matters first. The boat will soon head out to sea, and it will be even livelier then. I'll find you for a few drinks at that time."
"Alright."
Xie Weilou smiled and nodded.
He glanced at his token, which had four characters: "Fourth Floor, Class A."
This meant they could enter a Class A room on the fourth floor.
Xie Weilou and Lu Mingya walked upstairs.
Rumble!
Just then, the boat swayed slightly, leaving the shore and sailing towards the vast sea, eliciting cheers and laughter from the people on board.
Fourth floor.
Inside the Class A room.
Fine wine and delicious food were already prepared.
The room's decor was very unique, with various luminous pearls around, sparkling like mood lighting, and a soft bed, perfect for Dao Companions to use to their heart's content, inspiring romantic thoughts.
This room was sealed by a grand formation, and only those holding a special token could enter.
However, if the pleasure boat could give one token, it would naturally have a second, a third... After Xie Weilou and Lu Mingya sat down, he poured a cup of tea, looked at Miss Lu, and asked with a smile: "Miss Lu, do you have something in particular for coming here?"
Lu Mingya was not affected by the room's decor in the slightest. She said calmly: "To kill someone!"
"Oh?"
Xie Weilou was a little surprised.
Lu Mingya said: "The Reincarnation Sect has a traitor, who is the owner of this pleasure boat. She stole a stalk of nine netherworld tea from the Reincarnation Sect..."
As she spoke, she looked at the teacup in Xie Weilou's hand: "Coincidentally, what you are holding right now is a cup of nine netherworld tea."
Xie Weilou smiled and said: "This tea smells very fragrant."
"nine netherworld tea is indeed very fragrant. It is not poison, yet it surpasses all potent poisons. Once consumed, it will destroy one's Divine Soul and end one's Dao, making it one of our Reincarnation Sect's Ten Great Wonders."
Lu Mingya said with a profound look in her eyes.
"That terrifying?"
Xie Weilou looked at the tea in his hand.
Lu Mingya said: "The one who stole the nine netherworld tea is Nether Princess, one of our Reincarnation Sect's Ten Great Ghost Envoys, with a Creation Realm cultivation! Now she is getting close to the Heavenly Palace..."
Xie Weilou smiled faintly and said: "The Heavenly Palace tried to assassinate me, and I am currently investigating information about one of their Elders. Tonight, someone conveniently invited me here, I conveniently have a cup of tea that could kill me, and you tell me that the owner of this pleasure boat is close to the Heavenly Palace."
From these points, it seemed Cloud Above Stream's active invitation for him to come here was to kill him.
Cloud Above Stream was from the Prince Qings Estate. Was his action authorized by Prince Qing?
If so, that would be interesting!
Lu Mingya said: "So you will be assassinated tonight."
Once this boat entered the vast sea, it would be far from Donghuang City. If a terrifying killing intent were to appear then, most people would find it hard to survive.
However, when she entered this pleasure boat, she did not sense the traitor's aura; the person should not be on board.
Xie Weilou put down his teacup and sized up Lu Mingya: "The road ahead is long, and dangers are unpredictable. Will Miss Lu protect me?"
"You are powerful and have many trump cards. Why would you need my protection?"
Lu Mingya said indifferently.
Xie Weilou smiled awkwardly: "To be honest, during this time, This Xie has visited many taverns and brothels, and my body is a bit weak. Now I even breathe heavily when walking. As for my reliance, I've almost used them all up; I don't have much left to rely on."
Lu Mingya: "..."
She picked up a teacup, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip.
Seeing this, Xie Weilou said strangely: "Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death?"
"nine netherworld tea is an item of my Reincarnation Sect. For me, it is just ordinary fragrant tea, not some potent poison."
Lu Mingya continued to take a sip.
Xie Weilou gave a thumbs up: "As expected of Miss Lu, highly skilled and daring!"
"So... who exactly are you?"
Lu Mingya instantly stared at Xie Weilou, her eyes burning as if she wanted to see through him.
The more she delved, the more she discovered Xie Weilou's peculiarities, making her very curious if this guy was truly Black Impermanence's relative?
Xie Weilou glanced around and whispered to Lu Mingya: "Come closer, I'll tell you quietly."
"..."
Lu Mingya was silent for a second, then leaned her ear towards Xie Weilou.
Xie Weilou looked at Lu Mingya's delicate, fair ear and whispered: "Miss Lu, in this situation, a lone man and woman, with such an enchanting atmosphere, why don't you let me see your beautiful legs?"
Lu Mingya's expression froze. She immediately turned her face away, glanced at Xie Weilou, and continued to savor her fragrant tea.
Xie Weilou smiled broadly, picking up the teacup he had just put down: "Miss Lu likes to dig into people's backgrounds and get to the bottom of things, yet you don't even reveal your true appearance. What do you expect others to tell you?"
Lu Mingya was silent for a second, then nodded and said: "You have a point. I was rude."
"..."
This Xie Wei took a sip of fragrant tea.
Lu Mingya raised an eyebrow: "Are you tired of living?"
Xie Weilou said confidently: "Actually, This Xie is immune to all poisons!"
Bang!
After saying that, the teacup dropped, and he directly fell to the ground.
"Immune to all poisons? He certainly talks a good game!"
Lu Mingya mumbled, then got up and walked towards Xie Weilou.
She took out a Medicinal Pill and gave it to Xie Weilou, then casually took off the token on Xie Weilou's body. With a flick of her sleeve, she moved Xie Weilou onto the soft bed.
After doing all this, Lu Mingya left the room.
After Lu Mingya left, Xie Weilou opened his eyes, stretched, and muttered to himself: "This bed is really soft, but it's a pity there's no beauty to accompany me. Never mind, I'll lie down for a while and recuperate."
He closed his eyes again.
Not long after.
A tiny crack appeared in the door, an eye quietly observed the situation inside the room, then quickly disappeared.
On the other side.
In Cloud Above Stream's room, he bowed to Purple Orchid: "He has drunk the nine netherworld tea. The matter is done!"
Purple Orchid toyed with a wine glass: "This person is not that simple. Can a cup of tea truly deal with him? To be safe, we should first move far away from Donghuang City and rendezvous with the Boat Master. At that time, I will investigate again, and the Boat Master said that other powerful enemies might appear tonight, so we must not be careless!"
"Understood."
Cloud Above Stream nodded lightly, then turned and left the room.
