Chapter 105 : Paradise City

Chapter 105.1 : Paradise City

Mu Lai’s eyes grew unnoticeably red rimmed. Never had she thought that there would be a day that such a proud girl like her would come to trust and depend on someone so much, and neither had she ever thought that she would be so fortunate to have a friend that cared about her as much as she cared for them.

That caused a corner of the rock hard heart of the always cold and aloof girl who had always kept to herself to slowly melt and and soften.

“There are so many rooms here in the Eternal Peace Duke Manor. I’ll have someone get one ready for you to stay here. There is no way I am letting you go stay outside in an inn after you came such a long way here.”

Qing Yu did not wait for her to reply before she went ahead to make the arrangements. Mu Lai was rather taken aback but she did not refuse, but just merely curled up her lips in a smile. She had always been the one acting dominantly over others and she had never thought that she would see the day that someone could be so bossy and tyrannical towards her.

Although this kind of tyranny was something she would gladly accept.

After saying that, Qing Yu immediately instructed the servants to get the room ready. It was only after she was finished with making the arrangements that she came to realize something. “You said that you were thinking to use your spirit essence to keep a little ghost capable of gathering energies. From what I know, only Exorcists would keep and rear little spirit ghosts with them. Did you come here to the Imperial Capital to find an exorcist?”

Mu Lai nodded her head. “I received news that there is a highly mysterious Ghost Cavern here helmed and controlled by a powerful Exorcist, but no one knows where the entrance into the place is.”

“Ghost Cavern?” Qing Yu was a little surprised. “How can such a place exist in such close proximity to the bustling Imperial Capital? Isn’t he afraid that he will be discovered and his nest gets busted?”

“Because the place is so mysterious, it still has not been discovered till today. So I was thinking of getting a person I know from this area to help look into it for me.” Mu Lai sighed mournfully. “No matter what, I must definitely save my father.”

“Don’t worry. I will help you.” Qing Yu said reassuringly as she patted Mu Lai on her hand. Her eyes then flashed with a glint, suddenly having thought of a good idea.

Hence that very night, Bai Zhi Yan who had just finished battling Lou Jun Yao over a few games of chess quickly felt that something wasn’t right the moment he returned to his room. There was a small little shadow was crouched above his window…… What in the world is that?

It was only when he went closer that he saw that it was a cute and adorable little creature whose body was completely snowy white.

It had a pair of blue eyes large and round, its tiny ears sharp and pointed, and a short bobbly tail. It looked both like a cat and a fox at the same time and it was just so unbelievably beautiful and adorable that even Bai Zhi Yan was almost swooning from its cuteness. The little fella was just crouched there obediently, looking rather bored as it puffed up its cheeks to blow bubbles.

“Little cutie, where did you come from?” Bai Zhi Yan exclaimed softly, his face looking highly benign and harmless as he approached the creature.

The little beast blinked its large eyes and stretched a paw up to ruffle its ear. [Hmm….. Seductive and evil looks, dressed in full red robes. Mm. This should be the right guy!]

As that thought rose up in its mind, it then stretched out its tiny paws, and brought them up right in front of his face, to reveal a tiny ball of paper right before his eyes.

Bai Zhi Yan was stunned for a moment, unable to react at all.

The little beast looked highly impatient as it then rolled its eyes before it tossed the ball of paper onto the table. Its tiny body then shot like a bolt that arced through the sky in a beam of light, disappearing in an instant.

[So fast!]

Bai Zhi Yan snapped back to his senses and then turned to look at the ball of paper on the table. [Who sent that?]

He had just picked the ball of paper and spread it open but had not even had the chance to read it when he saw Lou Jun Yao pushing the door to come in. His eyes gazed lazily out of the window as he then asked: “What was that that just went out from your window?”

“How did you know?” Bai Zhi Yan asked in bewilderment.

In the end, his question immediately earned him a contemptuous rebuke. “You did not even feel that clear fluctuation of spirit energy at all?”

Chapter 105.2 : Paradise City

“…..” [Ha! Just great! Ever since regaining back his power, he doesn’t even need to conceal his sarcasm at all now.]

Bai Zhi Yan was so infuriated he wanted to just ignore him completely. His eyes turned to look at the piece of paper in his hand and an eyebrow lifted up slightly, the expression looking a little mischievous. “Eh? It’s already so late at night and the lass is asking me out for a secret meeting? ?”

Hearing that, Lou Jun Yao’s subconsciously peeked at the contents on the scrap of paper. There wasn’t even a single word on it but just a picture of a feather on it, which was drawn looking highly lifelike. (Translator Note: 卿羽 read as Qing Yu where the “Yu – 羽” means feather.)

[It’s that little fox Qing Yu?]

[But…..]

“How do you know she’s asking you out?” [What kind of a deeper meaning can a mere picture of a feather have?]

Bai Zhi Yan curled up his lips in a smile and said: “This is a long held secret among us Elixir Cultivators. Outsiders will not be able to tell what it means.”

Upon saying that, he scattered a layer of powder from his fingertips. The feather immediately changed shape and a few words manifested. Afterlife Loft.

Understanding then dawned upon Lou Jun Yao when he saw the words. He had thought that there was a secret code or something, but it was just a trick they that they employed.

“That place sounds a little familiar…..” Bai Zhi Yan said as he rubbed his chin with a finger thoughtfully. After rubbing it for a good while, his expression then became slightly startled. “Isn’t that the territory of that kid?”

“What?” Lou Jun Yao could not be bothered with any other trifling details but was just curious what kind of a scheme Qing Yu had up her sleeve.

“That kid from the Baili Family. When he came here the last time, I almost killed him.” Bai Zhi Yan said in reminder.

Regarding a certain person’s complete indifference towards all and everything, leading him to have no impression of anything, it was something that Bai Zhi Yan knew quite well. Hence, this person also had absolutely no idea just how many enemies he had come to make back in Cloud Heaven as well.

With Bai Zhi Yan’s reminder, Lou Jun Yao finally remembered something about it. “What is it? What has the little fox asked you to go that kind of a place for?”

“When you do not know, how could I know anything about it? Isn’t her relationship with you better than with me?” Bai Zhi Yan answered with a shrug of his shoulders. “We’ll know when we get there. That lass never turns up for no reason and something must be up with the invitation coming in so late.”

“Mm.” Lou Jun Yao agreed with a grunt, his face stern and serious. “I’ll go with you. I’ll be able to help if anything happens.”

Bai Zhi Yan was stunned. “….. ? !”

[Can you please turn back to your normal self?]

Ever since they came to stay here in the Constellation Lands for so long, this great demon lord has been turning more and more kindly and thoughtful for others? He has even learnt to take the initiative to extend help to others? All the others would surely be shocked to death if they knew!]

[Is this fella thinking he’s going to help by committing murder and arson? ?]

Although it was said that the Constellation Lands was a realm that lowest in position, but it contained perilous places that harboured ferocious beasts that were unimaginably dangerous, and also mysterious and luxurious places known as paradise cities that were in no way inferior to those of higher level lands, like the Afterlife Loft.

Splashed in dazzling and splendorous gold and jade, of the highest luxury everywhere.

The vast gambling hall on the first floor was a boiling pot of people’s voices, the loud cheers sounding incessantly in one’s ears. It looked like some people were rather lucky tonight, and in contrast there were also those who were especially unlucky, losing so badly they had hocked even their clothes, their faces and necks red as they cursed and swore in rage.

On the side was the arena, where a brawny man towering with his two meter height was taken down by a thin looking youth with just two quick strokes, a loud dull crash sounding out when the towering figure crashed to the ground. The large figure was indignant and wanted to sneak an attack, thinking to catch his opponent off guard, but was sent flying out with a kick from the youth, that broke his neck and he breathed his last.

The youth laughed sneeringly, his eyes disdainful as he then turn around to walk off without looking back, his attendants quickly catching up to follow behind him.

The spectating crowd erupted in a bout of jeers.

People died in the Afterlife Loft everyday. That was no mere rumour.

Chapter 105.3 : Paradise City

And before today, people who died at the hands of the brawny guy numbered at least eighty if not a hundred. And now, it was his turn to die in the arena.

The first floor was highly chaotic, the atmosphere in the gambling hall fiery, the arena brutal and cruel, but on the other side, there were many dance hostesses each wearing more revealing clothes than the next strutting around.

Every single one of them gyrated their limber bodies decadently to the beat of melodious music, the thin silk covering their bodies fleetingly exposing the beautiful curves of the bodies that was exceptionally seductive and eye catching. Among them, not only were there highly coquettish women, there were also tall and handsome looking youths. Even though they were male, the attractiveness of their looks and well shaped bodies were in no way inferior to the ladies.

There were guests there who were more into a different kind of taste and hence the youths were also highly popular as well.

As long as one possessed the right conditions and sufficient wealth to entice them, they could either present a dance or a song for them personally, or one could have them spend a night of bliss and rapture together, with many choices readily available.

They were there to satisfy any kinds of requests from their patrons.

A balding and obese round bellied man with a highly greasy and pudgy face then came walking down from one of the gambling tables glowering. He trotted over to go right before a youth with an alluring body and pressed a stack of golden tickets right into the youth’s hand.

The value for each of those tickets was a thousand, and that was at least several tens of thousands in total.

The youth’s beautiful face then broke into an enchanting smile. It was not known what the balding man said to the youth which caused to youth’s face to look slightly abashed. But after the man added another stack of golden tickets, the youth acted coyly a moment before he obediently leaned himself right into the pudgy man’s arms.

The balding man immediately could not seem to wait as his heart grew capricious and before all the countless pairs of eyes in that main hall filled with people, his large mouth smacked right onto the youth’s pink lips, his thick pudgy hands starting to rove and grope all over the youth’s soft body, eliciting a low embarrassed moan out of the youth, providing a highly explosion scene right in the open.

There were many people surrounding them but those two people did not seem to be bothered in the least, seemingly becoming even more aroused. The balding man even pressed the youth down onto a table, ripping away at the obstructive thin silk, like he was completely unable to hold himself back from doing something people would not be able to take their eyes off from.

The youth was very cooperative and his two long fair skinned legs spontaneously tangled up around the man’s body, looking highly submissive like the man could do anything he wanted with him.

The atmosphere in there immediately became so sensational it was spiraling out of control.

On another side of the hall, a cold faced man in black robes was pulling another man in white robes, and they went inside a private room without a word.

“Why are we here in such a place?” The man paused between every word, like he was speaking through tightly clenched teeth.

The man in white robes who was pulled inside possessed a countenance of flawless beauty that could make people gasp, his beautiful pair of phoenix like eyes smiling mischievously. “Lai Lai, are you feeling embarrassed?”

“…..”

These two people, are Mu Lai and Qing Yu who were disguised as men.

Mu Lai had not known for what purpose they had to dress up as men but she knew now. [This place is just too dangerous!]

Even dressed as men, when they had come in, they had already been scrutinized from head to toe by all kinds of strange gazes, not to mention if they had come in here as women. They would definitely have been skinned alive right on the spot.

The people in here were just too terrifying. Just that one scene out in the main hall just now, any normal person would not be able to be so utterly shameless, but those two people had put on such an erotic show out in the open, and it was even a gay show! Absolutely disgusting!

Qing Yu looked at the black faced girl in front of her and almost could not hold in her laughter. [What a rare sight. To think that the face of that glacier mountain that would never change could actually show such intense emotion.

“Alright, don’t be mad already. I had not known that this place would get so chaotic. Anyway we came here for serious business this time and we’ll never come here again in future.” Qing Yu said reassuringly, feeling rather amused.
