Chapter 188

Xu Yan sat in the elegant room, watching a woman playing a musical instrument, and observing her as she twisted her body, her sheer dress diminishing with each movement.

Eyes conveying emotions, filled with boundless tenderness.

Between every frown and smile, there was seemingly a charming force that stirred a person’s blood and incited their desire.

“This woman is so formidable. Emperor Qi’s concubines pale in comparison to her!” Xu Yan thought, his heart growing serious.

His mind, surprisingly, was being stirred into agitation.

Promptly reining in his spirit, he watched the woman attentively. Gradually, his mind became clear again. As long as he didn’t dwell on it, it couldn’t stir his emotions.

Nor could it disrupt his tranquility.

“I am not seeking anything, therefore, my desires remain motionless. Do not imagine that you could disturb my heart!”

Xu Yan felt an enhancement in his state of mind, more impervious to external disturbances. His heart of the Sword Dao, steadily becoming firm.

“I am now not far from mastering the Sword Dao’s Insight. 1 hope I can use the Wushuang Pavilion of Qianxing Lake to hone my heart, making my state of mind clearer, laying the groundwork for breaking through to the Sword Dao’s Insight.”

Xu Yan felt exhilarated.

Truly, the Wushuang Pavilion of Qianxing Lake is an excellent place. One could enjoy the beauty and at the same time, hone their state of mind. Most importantly, it’s all for free!

“Young Master, I am feeling a bit warm!”

The woman was also puzzled. This young man didn’t seem to be moved at all.

Her red lips slightly parted, her voice tender and appealing, alluringly cooed.

She was covered with only a thin piece of sheer clothing. Her enchanting figure was vaguely visible, making her even more attractive, and causing a rush of impulses to tear off the sheer clothing and appreciate her fascinating beauty…

“This woman has a certain allure in her demeanor, each movement of her body seemed to contain the power of temptation. Could it be that all the women in the Wushuang Pavilion have cultivated a certain skill that stirs the human spirit?

“Also her voice, it certainly has an ability to stir the human spirit. For martial artists with less strength or weak will, they definitely wouldn’t be able to keep control.”

Xu Yan seemed to be deep in thought. He suddenly realized that whether it was the dancers outside or the woman in the room, they all possessed a special allure.

“Wushuang Pavilion, what a good place. This is just a small pleasure boat on Qianxing Lake. Even the women here have such allure. Wouldn’t the women on the higher-class pleasure boats, who are more powerful, be even more alluring?

“To use the allure to hone my mind, it’s truly an excellent method!”

Xu Yan was excited.

“If I can explore all of the Wushuang Pavilion, and even the allure of the legendary Oiran can’t disturb my mind, then what in this world can disturb my mind?

“My Sword Dao’s Insight will naturally be realized.”

With this thought, Xu Yan couldn’t sit still.

He must go deeper into Qianxing Lake, to the more luxurious and grand pleasure boats, and experience the charm of the women there, who are more beautiful, more powerful, and crucially have stronger allure.

It would be even more effective for honing his mind.

“Young Master?”

The music had stopped, and the woman was a bit confused, doubting if her allure had declined. Why couldn’t she allure even a young man?

“I’m leaving.”

Xu Yan stood up and left.

The woman:…

Did you come just to listen to a song and then leave?

Opening the door of the room, Xu Yan walked out. The manager was a little surprised. That was so fast?

“Young Master, are you satisfied?” He opened his mouth and asked with a smile.

Xu Yan shook his head and replied, “Not really. It’s boring. I’m leaving!”

The manager:…

Why did these words feel like, after the event, putting on trousers and then saying: it wasn’t fun …

“Young Master, the entrance fee for the room is five thousand Spirit Crystals, you see…”

Xu Yan glanced at him sidelong, “Didn’t we agree that if 1 wasn’t satisfied or didn’t have fun, I wouldn’t have to pay? Are you reneging?”

“Not at all, Master, you went in…”

“Don’t make up stories. I didn’t go in at all. 1 just came to listen to a song and then 1 left. It’s really ordinary, I didn’t feel moved at all.”

“Young Master, are you saying that our Wushuang Pavilion…”

“Don’t threaten me. What 1 fear the least is threats. We had agreed that if 1 didn’t have fun, I wouldn’t have to pay. If you go back on your word, do you think my sword is not sharp enough?”

The manager felt a bit taken aback. Since becoming a manager of the Wushuang Pavilion pleasure boat, this was the first time he met a patron who enjoyed the services without paying.

At this moment, the woman in the room came out. She looked bewildered. Had her charm decreased? Had her allure diminished?

“What did he do inside?” The manager asked in a serious tone.

He really thought this was a cheap brothel, enjoy without paying and then just leave?

“He did nothing. He just listened to a song. Have my enchanting skills regressed?” The woman said with worry.

The manager:…

Did he really just come in to listen to a song? Nothing else?

“I’m leaving. If you renege on the deal, feel free to come and find me. Let’s see if your Wushuang Pavilion values its reputation.”

Xu Yan turned around and left.

Opening and then closing his mouth, the manager finally swallowed his words. Who told him to make that promise? Besides, the Wushuang Pavilion respects rules. If there’s a promise and it’s broken, he will be severely punished.

Although the patron would suffer, he wouldn’t fare any better.

Since it was so, he had no choice but to accept it.

After Xu Yan left, he excitedly headed towards the deeper parts of Qianxing Lake, to more luxurious and grander pleasure boats.

Once he entered, again not a single Spirit Crystal was spent. The servants of the Wushuang Pavilion were all stunned.. What was even more outrageous was that he questioned if he could test the allure of the ladies in the room, and only pay if he was satisfied!
