348: Chapter 348 Since the fairy said she would repay him handsomely in the future, why not do it now?

After listening to the manager's intelligence regarding the lockdown by the Tianxuan Immortal Sect, Cao Kun pondered for a moment and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The efficiency of these large Sects in the Spirit Realm is truly damn high!

He had just let that group of "good sons" go at the Ascension Pool, and these people had already locked down all the cities within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles right after.

He just didn't know if those "good sons" he had just taken in had managed to escape.

If they were caught and put back in Spirit-Locking Rings, this first experience in the Spirit Realm would be too miserable.

Seeing Cao Kun silent, the manager assumed he was worried about being implicated and hurriedly leaned in a bit, kindly reminding him:

"Young Master, you're from out of town, right? Take this old man's advice: the whole city is on lockdown right now, and no one can get out."

"Currently, a large number of out-of-town Cultivators are stranded, and the inns within a radius of a hundred thousand miles have long been fully booked."

"Our Feixian Pavilion happens to have one last premium room left. I see that you have an extraordinary Aura, Young Master, so why not stay here first? Wait until the storm blows over?"

Cao Kun nodded slightly, pulled a small bag of Top-Grade Spirit Stones from his System space, and tossed it onto the counter.

He really needed a quiet place right now to sort through the information on the powers in the Spirit Realm.

"Fine, then book one."

The manager grabbed the money bag and opened it to take a look. He was so happy his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

He nimbly took out a jade tablet engraved with complex Formation patterns from a hidden compartment under the counter and respectfully presented it.

"Young Master's room is the Heaven Grade No. 1 room on the third floor."

"That is the highest-spec guest room in our Feixian Pavilion, with the top-tier Spirit Gathering Array."

"You can open it by placing this token into the Formation groove on the door. Wish you a pleasant rest!"

Cao Kun took the jade tablet and weighed it in his hand. He was tired anyway, so he decided to go see what this luxury suite in the Spirit Realm looked like.

Just as he turned around and hadn't even taken half a step, "Bang!" He bumped squarely into someone rushing over.

"Ouch!" A delicate cry came. The person was clearly in a great hurry and hadn't been looking where they were going.

After colliding with Cao Kun's solid chest, the person lost their balance and fell straight backward.

Cao Kun was quick-witted and agile, taking the opportunity to wrap his arm around the other person's slender willow waist. Where his hand touched, it felt warm and soft like jade, with plenty of elasticity.

The tip of his nose was filled with the unique, faint fragrance of a virgin, without a trace of the scent of common makeup.

Cao Kun lowered his eyes to look. Even as someone accustomed to all kinds of top-tier beauties, Cao Kun couldn't help but have his eyes light up at this moment.

The woman had exquisite, peerless features, and her skin was as white as snow, delicate enough to be broken by a blow.

She was wearing a pale green long dress, and her figure was slender and graceful. At this moment, due to the fright, her watery eyes carried a hint of panic, and her slightly parted red lips invited reverie.

That pitiful expression, combined with her cold and noble temperament, made her appear even more vivid and lively.

Just as Cao Kun was holding her, reluctant to let go, and openly admiring this unexpected joy, the familiar System prompt sounded in his mind at the right time.

[Ding! Detected a top-tier Jade Beast target that meets the criteria!]

[Name: Gu Xiyao]

[Cultivation: Mahayana Early Stage]

[Physique: Nine-Turn Profound Yin Physique]

[Identity: Eldest Young Miss of the Gu Family, a first-class Family in the Spirit Realm's Dongxuan Region; the betrothed of the Young Lord of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect.]

After listening to the System prompt, Cao Kun exclaimed "Good fellow!" in his heart.

The Spirit Realm really is a land of outstanding people and divine spirits! He had just left the "newbie village" and hadn't even started killing monsters yet, and he had already picked up a top-tier beauty for free in the inn lobby!

The most critical part is this identity. The betrothed of the Young Lord of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect?

That old fogey Supreme Elder Zhan Hong is from the Tianxuan Immortal Sect. He was just worrying about how to cause trouble for this lousy Sect, and isn't this just a coincidence!

The fiancée of his enemy Sect's Young Lord is throwing herself into his arms. This move, this is what you call a precise interception! Striking straight at the heart!

Thinking of the Young Lord of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect, whom he had never met, being about to wear a green hat, the "Jian'an spirit" within Cao Kun began to burn fiercely.

His gaze looking at Gu Xiyao also became more intense.

Gu Xiyao was already startled, and at this moment, she noticed the large hand on her waist not only didn't let go but even wantonly kneaded it a couple of times. A blush instantly flew onto her pretty face.

"Lecher! Let me go!"

She shouted in shame and anger, extending her fair, tender hand to push against Cao Kun's chest with a hint of panic.

Only then did Cao Kun slowly let go, his fingertips intentionally or unintentionally brushing against the ribbon on her waist.

"Fairy, you must be careful when walking. Such a soft body—if you were to fall and get hurt, this Young Master would be heartbroken."

That frivolous tone perfectly captured the demeanor of a playboy.

Hearing these teasing words, Gu Xiyao frowned slightly and looked at Cao Kun with vigilance.

But she seemed to be hiding from someone, her expression anxious. She had no mind to argue with this rude lecher.

She nodded perfunctorily a couple of times: "Thank you, Young Master, for your help."

After speaking, she walked straight past Cao Kun and hurried to the counter. "Manager, book me a premium room!"

The manager, holding the Top-Grade Spirit Stones he had just tucked into his sleeve, pointed to Cao Kun beside him with a troubled look. "Oh, Fairy, you're one step too late. Our last room was just booked by this Young Master."

Hearing this, Gu Xiyao was stunned on the spot. She turned around, looked at Cao Kun, and said in an urgent tone: "Young Master, I will pay ten times the price! Will you let me have the room?"

Cao Kun toyed with the jade tablet in his hand, looking at her with a half-smile: "If I let you have the room, where do I stay? Sleep on the street?"

Gu Xiyao thought he felt the money was too little, or perhaps he wanted to raise the price on the spot. She hurriedly took out an exquisite Storage Pouch and shoved it into Cao Kun's hand.

"There are ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones in here! Young Master, you can take this money and go to the Loose Cultivator market in the east of the city. There might still be some simple Immortal Caves available for rent." "Please, Young Master, do me a favor!"

Cao Kun weighed the Storage Pouch, then casually threw it back to Gu Xiyao. "Fairy, what are you saying. This Young Master lacks everything except money."

"Besides, with my delicate skin, I'm not used to living in those shabby places in the Loose Cultivator market." "Fairy, you'd better take your money and find a place elsewhere."

"What exactly do you want!" Gu Xiyao was furious, her chest heaving up and down. As the Eldest Young Miss of the Gu Family, who didn't treat her with respect usually? When had she ever suffered such indignity!

But today, she just happened to run into such an unreasonable scoundrel. If it weren't for the tense situation in the city, she would really want to take action and teach him a lesson.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, "Boom!" The door to Feixian Pavilion was violently kicked open.

Several Cultivators wearing the attire of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect rushed into the hall aggressively. Without a word, they immediately scattered and blocked all exits.

The leading deacon even drew the long sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "The Tianxuan Immortal Sect is conducting business! Anyone who dares to run will be killed without mercy!"

The Loose Cultivators who were originally bragging and chatting in the hall were now so scared that they shut their mouths one after another, standing obediently in place, not daring to move.

The Tianxuan Immortal Sect is the absolute hegemon in the Dongxuan Region; no one dares to provoke them.

Upon hearing the four words "Tianxuan Immortal Sect", Gu Xiyao felt guilty as a thief. Her first reaction was that the people from the Tianxuan Immortal Sect had come to take her back!

In order to escape the marriage, she had managed with great difficulty to run out of the Family, hiding her name and identity all the way to this Feixian City.

If she were caught and taken back, and married to that Young Lord of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect, who was rumored to be violent and fickle, her life would be completely ruined!

In her terror, Gu Xiyao couldn't think too much. She took a step directly behind Cao Kun, grabbing the fabric on his back, and begged in a low voice:

"Young Master! Save me!"

Gu Xiyao extended her slightly trembling hands, grabbing the fabric on Cao Kun's back, and begged in a low voice: "As long as you take me into your room to hide during this lockdown and help me get through this crisis!" "Xiyao will definitely reward you generously in the future!"
