CapĂtulo 1864: Chapter 1863: Jiang Chenyu, Yasheng
âLet me say this first, donât cause any trouble at Miaoyu Pavilion,â Wang Da reminded them.
âOnly high-ranking officials and nobility come here, we canât afford to offend them.â
âDonât worry, weâre just here to listen to some songs and watch beauties dance,â the Wronged Soul assured confidently.
Xu Zimei glanced at him.
He asked, âIs your listening to songs and dancing legitimate?â
âWho goes to a proper place,â the Wronged Soul snickered.
The three of them walked in, Lu Yueqing didnât come to such a place, she went shopping in Changâan.
Ever since Noble Consort Lu tried to kill her, Lu Yueqing lost interest in everything.
She wanted to settle in Changâan and had no desire to go back to her old village.
These past few days, Lu Yueqing seemed to finally understand her mother.
Changâan is truly wonderful.
Once people arrive, theyâre reluctant to leave.
Itâs prosperous, with everything one could need.
Given the opportunity to experience all the honors of this world from a high status, who would want to return to a small village?
Not even mentioning Noble Consort Lu, Lu Yueqing herself, after just a few days in Changâan, didnât want to leave either.
She wanted to reside in Changâan, preferably run a small business and be self-sufficient.
So during this time, Lu Yueqing observed what businesses did well in Changâan.
Xu Zimei didnât mind either.
Before leaving, he gave her some money as starting capital, which was easy for him but could change someoneâs life.
âŠâŠ
Walking into the Immortal Area,
It was akin to a concert.
At the front was a raised platform, colorful and eye-catching with various jade stone arrangements.
Below were hundreds of seats.
When they entered, the seats were already about seventy to eighty percent full.
On the stage, a Jade Tower materialized.
Immortal Qi enveloped beneath, and a group of women in colorful attire danced gracefully.
Above the Jade Tower, a woman played accompaniment music.
The air was filled with various enchanting fragrances.
The women on the stage were of unmatched beauty, each deserving of the term âpeerlessâ no matter where they stood.
Setting that aside, what surprised Xu Zimei was the transformative technique on stage.
The Jade Tower emerged from the ground, with various flowers and trees competing in beauty.
These werenât real, but the effects created were exceptional.
âYoung Master Xu, are you interested in this?â Wang Da asked.
âThis transformative technique should be related to formation,â Xu Zimei replied.
âCorrect, these formations arenât offensive but can change endlessly based on peopleâs needs,â Wang Da laughed.
âItâs quite an amusing story.
There was once an Array Master named Liu Chuan.
He was said to be a romantic scholar, who later met a Singing Courtesan.
They fell head over heels for each other, so he used his knowledge of formations to help her compete for the title of Oiran.â
âAnd thatâs how these formations that transform everything emerged.â
âEven if done to woo women, thereâs something interesting about the formation,â Xu Zimei said.
At first glance, the formation seems non-aggressive and rather ornamental.
But at a deeper level, this formation might have significant uses.
What if the transformed things could become real?
âToday, weâre in luck,â Wang Da pointed at the women on stage.
He said, âTwo of the three top Oiran of Miaoyu Pavilion are performing today.â
âWho are they?â The Wronged Soul asked with interest.
âThe one singing atop the Jade Tower is named Zhe Weier, and the lead dancer is Jiang Baiguo,â Wang Da pointed out.
âOne is a perfect dancer, the other a flawless singer.â
âHow much do these two cost?â the Wronged Soul asked lecherously.
âMoney means little to them,â Wang Da shook his head.
âFor regular Singing Courtesans, money might work.
But for these top ones, they sell art, not themselves; even if you wish to do something, theyâre seeking good matches.
Thatâs not something you should think about.â
The Wronged Soul shook his head regretfully.
The performance was calm and without surprises, with the Singing Courtesans on stage being quite skilled, even Xu Zimei was engaged.
Halfway through, the Wronged Soul left.
The lustful part of him couldnât be contained any longer, likely off to find some release.
After the performance, staying to watch required payment, Xu Zimei intended to leave.
But suddenly someone sat beside him and patted his shoulder.
He turned to see a stranger.
The person wore a scarlet robe, with auburn hair draped over her shoulders.
She carried a scent of roses.
This was a woman, elegant and dignified, yet fiery and seductive.
Wearing bold red lipstick, with high cheekbones and a touch of Western Region flair.
Her eyes were filled with passion, making anyone she looked at feel parched.
Seeing this woman, Wang Daâs expression changed.
He quickly greeted, âGreetings, Yasheng.â
âGo on,â the woman waved her hand, unconcerned.
âHis Majesty asked me to entertain Young Master Xu,â Wang Da said with some difficulty.
The woman, meeting him, said nothing, but directly asked him to leave, her intent clear to find Xu Zimei.
He was in a difficult position.
If he left, how would he explain to Xu Kui, but if he stayed, her identity was undeniable.
âWhy, canât I command you anymore,â the woman asked.
âNo, I wouldnât dare,â Wang Da stood up, giving Xu Zimei a deep look before leaving.
âMay I know your name?â The woman seemed careless, fixating on Xu Zimei, smiled.
âShouldnât you introduce yourself before asking others?â Xu Zimei said.
âIâm Jiang Chenyu, they call me Yasheng. It seems you donât know me?â the woman asked.
âWhy should I know you?â Xu Zimei retorted.
âYouâre from the Monster Race,â Jiang Chenyu asked.
âIâm here representing the Heavenly Court.â
âSo what?â Xu Zimei asked.
âLeave Changâan, and I can guarantee your life,â Jiang Chenyu said.
Hearing such bold words, Xu Zimei squinted slightly.
He said, âDid the Heavenly Court send you?â
âNo, no,â Jiang Chenyu shook her head.
âI donât take orders from the Heavenly Court or the Great Qin.
I only represent the human race.â
âYou are incredibly cunning; the Monster Race surrenders, wanting the human race to turn on each other, gaining from the chaos.â
âThis isnât something you should discuss with me,â Xu Zimei waved his hand.
âWhether to cooperate or not is King Qinâs decision.â
âYou truly refuse to leave?â Jiang Chenyu stared at Xu Zimei.
âWhat, planning to kill me?â Xu Zimei chuckled.
âI wonât kill you; I just want to protect you,â Jiang Chenyu said.
âIf you donât leave, others will come to kill you.â
âThen Iâll wait for them to come,â Xu Zimei nonchalantly replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, a large army suddenly surrounded Miaoyu Pavilion from outside.
