Chapter 180: Warm Fragrance Pavilion (1)
On the pass, the Mermaid General's heart harbored a faint worry.
And in the direction he was gazing, the small wooden boat had already docked inside the port of Fan Jie City.
Like all the docks in the South Sea, this one was bustling with noise and excitement, and the sound of clamor never stopped coming.
These men who make their living on the sea are always optimistic and cheerful, and they know how to enjoy themselves in a timely manner.
Above the pier, there were various vendors hawking their wares, scantily clad women, and all sorts of tourists... It was so lively to the point of being somewhat murky.
The mermaid soldiers patroled from time to time, so although the harbor was noisy, no major disturbances occurred.
Even when two beautiful women like Madame Green Bamboo and Su Xiaoxiao appeared on the pier, the sailors and tourists there only watched from afar and no one dared to come over and cause trouble.
After walking out of the pier and onto the main road ahead, the bustling and smoggy atmosphere finally subsided somewhat.
Although the streets were lively and bustling too, they were much better in comparison to the areas around the port.
Leading the little fox, they walked on the main road, smiling and politely declining the advances of several people who approached them to solicit business. The path beneath Madame Green Bamboo's feet began to climb upward, and the streets became narrower and narrower.
In this vast space within the mountain, there were many buildings constructed on the rock walls, and among them were interconnected suspension bridges and cableways, connecting one area after another.
The city in this mountain is not flat like a typical land-based city, but is three-dimensional and full of rich Mermaid Kingdom characteristics - after all, the cities of the Mermaid Kingdom in the sea are almost all structured in this manner.
After climbing a distance with the little fox, Madame Green Bamboo could already see the signboard of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion hovering in the distance above their heads.
Even among the bright lights of the city, the illuminated sign of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion stood out prominently.
From a distance, it looked just like a palace floating in the clouds. With gauzy curtained dancing and lush leaves stretching, it was full of a poetic and picturesque atmosphere. Occasionally, graceful women appeared by the window, the wharf, and the corridor, who seemed to be as beautiful as fairyland, making people irresistibly want to approach.
However, upon reaching this point, Madame Green Bamboo came to a halt, no longer proceeding upwards.
On the swaying footbridge in the night breeze, Madame Green Bamboo turned to the little fox beside her and said.
"Xiaoxiao, I have brought you here. From now on, you must go to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion to find Wu Gu yourself and plead for her to save you."
"You have been cultivating the traditional cultivation method since childhood, devoid of any demonic energy within yourself. You possess a unique and charming aura and an exceptional appearance. Wu Gu will not refuse you."
"Of course, that woman has a notorious reputation, so you must take good care of yourself and not let her take advantage of you."
The entrance to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion is a secluded bamboo path that rustles in the night breeze. The green bamboo on either side of the path sways and as you walk a short distance, you come upon a clear spring.
In the spring water, a graceful figure swam.
When the little fox arrived at the lake, the cool spring water sounded with the sound of water. Among them, a tender and boneless figure was swimming and came to the lake.
Amidst the sound of rushing water, a woman emerged from the spring. Her skin was delicate and appeared as though it could be easily broken with a mere touch. There was a myriad of tenderness in her laughter and the gentle arch of her eyebrows.
The woman's figure was graceful and delicate, with no clothing covering her body like human women. She was half-naked. Her exquisite collarbone and the deep groove in her chest were both exposed in front of the little fox's eyes.
Only at the nipples, there was a layer of faint scales covering the woman's private part like tight clothing.
However, the semi-transparent scales attached to the body seemed to have failed to provide any cover, instead, making it even more alluring.
The little fox looked at the Mermaid in front of her with great interest and said with a playful smirk, "Sister, you have a truly exquisite figure."
The Mermaid gazed up and down at the demonic girl in front of her. Her eyes linger on the deep valley between the girl's breasts for a few seconds before she smiled faintly.
"Guest, since you have arrived at the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, do you have a jade slip?"
The Warm Fragrance Pavilion, although famous, doesn't entertain every guest who comes in.
Only those who hold the warm fragrant jade slip are allowed to enter, and the admission threshold is extremely high.
The girl in front of her had never been to this place before, which was why the Mermaid asked this question.
The little fox shook her head and said, "I don't have the 'Warm Fragrance Jade Slip'... I came to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion to meet Witch Wu Gu. Please help me announce my arrival, sister."
After the little fox finished speaking, the mermaid in the water smiled and shook her head, saying, "Sister, you should go back. Witch Wu Gu is not someone anyone can meet. During these days, those who come to see the queen are about one hundred, and they are all important figures from the South Sea."
"But no one has received an audience with the queen... Do you think Witch Wu Gu would make an exception for you, little sister?"
The Mermaid girl smiled to persuade the little fox.
Although the news of Wu Gu's presence on Fan Jie mountain has already spread in the South Sea, only those prominent figures in the region are aware of her whereabouts at the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, where Witch Wu Gu resides.
However, Witch Wu Gu doesn't receive anyone with status, and certainly, she will not make an exception for this little fox in front of her.
But the little fox chuckled and said, 'If you didn't inform her, how would you know that Witch Wu Gu doesn't want to see me?'
The little fox's insistence caused the mermaid girl to shake her head amusedly.
