337: What kind of spiritual seduction technique is this?
Madam Xu was extremely efficient.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the sound of jingling ornaments and a rich, fragrant breeze came from the stairs.
Under Madam Xu's personal lead, four graceful and stunningly beautiful women, moving with light, lotus-like steps, slowly descended from the second floor.
These four were the four Top Courtesans—Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua—whom Qingfeng Tower had spent a fortune to cultivate.
The zither-playing "Fairy Qin," dressed in a white gown, had a cold temperament and held an ancient zither; between her brows was a hint of aloofness, as if she were untainted by the Mortal world.
The chess-playing "Qi Fairy," wearing a black-and-white patterned skirt, had agile eyes that seemed to be calculating something at every moment, exuding an intellectual charm.
The calligraphy-expert "Shu Fairy," in an elegant light-green robe, held a scroll; she was quiet and refined, filled with a scholarly air.
The painting-specialist "Fairy Painter" wore vibrant, colorful clothes; she was lively and pretty, her large eyes sparkling with an artist's Spiritual Qi.
On any normal day, the appearance of any one of them would cause the princes, nobles, and wealthy merchants of the Heavenly Capital to spend money like water.
But today, all four appeared together, a first in the history of Qingfeng Tower.
The guests in the lobby had long forgotten their earlier fear; they craned their necks and widened their eyes, their Faces filled with obsession and shock.
"Heavens! It's the four Top Courtesans! They actually came out together!"
"I've been to Qingfeng Tower hundreds of times and rarely even see Fairy Qin's Face, yet today... I can die without regrets, truly without regrets!"
"What is the background of these gentlemen? They actually have such great Face!"
However, amidst this sea of stunned praise, the reactions of the Su Family Prodigies seemed completely out of place.
Su Wuchang and the others only gave the four Top Courtesans a cold sweep; there wasn't a hint of admiration in their eyes, only scrutiny and vigilance.
[Here they come, the enemy's core intelligence personnel!]
[Are these four women the 'top stars' of this place? As expected, each one has their aura restrained to the extreme, looking no different from a Mortal, disguised flawlessly.]
[The one holding the zither has such a cold temperament; she's likely a cold-blooded assassin. The one playing chess has eyes darting around; she's clearly full of schemes. And the ones reading and painting—one is an expert at disguise, the other at deceiving hearts.]
[Hmph, as expected, none of them are simple!]
In his heart, Su Wuchang had already figured the four Top Courtesans out completely.
Behind him, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Yueling, as female Cultivators, had even more direct reactions.
"Pah! A bunch of enchantresses!" Su Xiaoxiao looked at the swaying gait of the four women and the soul-sucked, lecherous looks of the surrounding male Cultivators, her Face full of disgust and disdain.
She lowered her voice and said to Su Yueling beside her, "Sister Yueling, look quickly. These enchantresses have such low cultivation, so why are those male Cultivators all acting like they've lost their souls? Could it be... this is the legendary high-level Spiritual Charm Technique that doesn't require cultivation support and directly targets the Divine Soul Origin?"
Su Yueling also frowned, observing carefully.
She noticed that every smile and movement of the four women carried a strange rhythm that could easily tug at a man's heartstrings.
"It is indeed strange." Su Yueling nodded solemnly. "This kind of charm technique doesn't act on the level of spiritual power but directly on the primal desires of living beings. It seems the Xuantian Immortal Sect really spent a fortune to train these spies. We must be careful and not fall for their tricks!"
"Mm!" Su Xiaoxiao nodded heavily, silently circulating her Family's Meditation Mantra, guarding her mind like an iron fortress.
Although their conversation wasn't loud, many of those present were Cultivators and heard them clearly.
The expressions of the surrounding guests became incredibly colorful.
Spiritual Charm Technique?
Enchantresses?
Spies?
Do these people... have something wrong with their heads?
These are the four Top Courtesans of Qingfeng Tower!
They are the talented beauties known to everyone in the Heavenly Capital; how did they become Enchantress spies in their mouths?
When the four Top Courtesans heard these discussions, the smiles on their Faces stiffened for a moment.
They had seen many types of guests—rude ones, refined ones, generous ones, stingy ones—but being treated as "Enchantress spies" like this was definitely a first.
Especially Fairy Qin, who was naturally proud; hearing such slander, a flash of anger appeared in her eyes.
But Madam Xu kept winking at her from the side, so she could only force herself to endure it.
Madam Xu didn't care about "enchantresses" or not; she only knew that the people in front of her were jinxes she absolutely could not afford to offend.
She trotted over, leading the four Top Courtesans to Su Wuchang, and introduced them with bows and scrapes: "Sir, these four are the most 'formidable' girls in our tower. They are proficient in the four arts—zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting—I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Su Wuchang looked up, his gaze sweeping over the four of them one by one. Finally, he pointed at the Fairy Painter, who was pale with fear and trembling while clutching her painting scroll.
"Just her."
No, not a single one should think about escaping.
With a wave of his hand, he pointed at the four and ordered Madam Xu: "Don't bother with all that. Take all four of them to the private room. We have many people and many questions; we need them all to 'answer' together."
Madam Xu was stunned, then immediately showed an "I understand" expression.
This gentleman... not only has heavy tastes, but he also likes to play big!
"Yes, yes, yes! You are truly generous, sir!" Madam Xu quickly agreed. "Quickly, arrange our best Heaven Character Number One Room for these gentlemen!"
With that, she personally led the way, taking Su Wuchang's group of "gods of plague" and the four uneasy Top Courtesans upstairs in a grand procession.
Leaving behind a group of guests in the lobby, staring at each other, their worldviews having received a massive shock.
"Who... are they exactly?"
"I don't know, but it looks like something big is going to happen at Qingfeng Tower tonight..."
