Upon seeing that Li Jing went silent after asking a single question, the brothel madam became increasingly restless.
Going upstairs.
Entering the Tian Character No.1 room.
She came prepared for anything.
As it stood, she was already prepared to fully please Li Jing, even being prepared to make a somewhat flirtatious move.
Who would have thought that things would end so abruptly?
Li Jing didnât even touch her and just sat there, proper and severe.
What on earth was happening?
The madam wanted to ask, but didnât dare to.
The figure sitting next to her was not an ordinary woman, but a latter Venerable at the peak of her abilities.
Realizing that just sitting there rigidly was no solution, and guessing that Li Jing might actually prefer a passive role, the madam bit her voluptuous crimson lips, screwed up her courage, and subtly leaned towards her.
Before she could lean on Li Jing, a delicate hand stopped her.
"Donât rush."
A calm yet exciting voice rang out, causing a shiver in the madamâs heart.
Violently shook the ladyâs heart. Seeing the terrifying tranquility in Li Jingâs eyes made her unable to figure out what this figure was thinking.
She couldnât figure it out.
Yet, she felt that Li Jing was very charming.
Her heart was beating wildly.
After running a brothel for thousands of years, what kind of storm hadnât she weathered?
But Li Jing had an irresistible allure.
Everything about her easily stirred the madam, making her heart flutter wildly and her body weaken. She felt an intense urge to have a gratifying tryst with Li Jing.
In this moment when Li Jing was speaking, she almost blurted out "I want you, Venerable."
This, truly, was confusing the madam.
Although the other party was a woman, why was she able to attract her to such an extent?
She didnât know.
She unknowingly had been enchanted.
As Li Jing didnât share, She didnât know that the person in front of her was a fox demon.
Just because someone had a face like a vixen didnât mean they were a fox demon.
There were women amongst the human race who were as enchanting as fox demons.
It was just as well that Li Jing had transformed into a female fox and that the madam herself was a woman.
Otherwise, she might not have been able to control herself.
She clenched her legs subconsciously under the table. An inexplicable heat made the madam blush.
Her last remnant of ladylike grace barely kept her rational, stopping her from speaking out her desires.
Her eyes glistening with anticipation, she looked towards Li Jing.
As she mulled over the meaning behind Li Jingâs "Donât rush," the latter spoke again.
"There should be someone from Yuanlaixuan delivering some food soon. We can just sit for a while to avoid being disturbed midway and losing the mood. Be a bit patient, donât rush."
Upon hearing Li Jingâs explanation, the madam felt a surge of restlessness.
Turns out, Li Jing wasnât holding back.
She was just worried that the mood would be broken midway.
Naturally, this made sense, didnât it?
Without realizing that she was enchanted, the madam didnât notice anything wrong with her thoughts.
In a coy voice, the madam agreed. Looking forward to the events that would unfold later, she hesitated before speaking.
"What should we call His Venerable?"
"Jiu Li."
Li Jing didnât hesitate to reply.
"So, you are Lord Jiu."
The madam looked as if she was going to remember this name forever, and said,
"I am Nangong Zhi. Iâve been running Yuanlaixuan for more than two thousand years and am also a secular disciple of the Yunshan Taoist Temple."
Hearing the madamâs confession, Li Jing furrowed her eyebrows.
This woman was a disciple of Yunshan Taoist Temple, which he didnât anticipate.
A Taoist disciple running a large brothel. Who would have expected that?
Now the question arises.
Yuanlaixuan was definitely related to Yuduzun.
As the madam who was in control of Lingyan Cityâs Yunshan Taoist Temple, was there a close connection between and Yuduzun and Yunshan Taoist Temple or even its behind-the-scenes Tianluo Sect?
Just as he was hesitating whether to probe further, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Boss, Iâve brought wine and dishes."
Nangong Zhi, who was under enchantment and couldnât wait to have a hearty tryst with Li Jing, immediately replied when she heard the servantâs voice outside the door.
"Come in."
Getting the response, a servant pushed the door open with a tray in hand, followed by three others each carrying a tray of their own.
Seeing the four of them, Nangong Zhi unhesitatingly gave them instructions.
"Put your things down and get out. Without my permission, you are not allowed to disturb us."
Nangong Zhi evidently had a profound influence in Yuanlaixuan.
Upon hearing her command, the four servants quickly complied, placing the food on the table in single file before leaving one by one, not daring to take an extra look out of curiosity.
Watching the four servants leave, Nangong Zhi got up to cast several handprints, sternly saying,
"Heaven and Earth are limitless, the universe lends its power, seal!"
With a "plop," a seal far surpassing the standard of the Eleventh Realm was applied on the door, sealing it tight.
Seeing this, Li Jingâs eyebrows twitched.
The mystery of Daoist law, as expected, lived up to its reputation.
Witnessing Daoist measures firsthand was a novel experience.
The seal that Nangong Zhi had applied, while far exceeding her own current level, had been carried out effortlessly.
Just a chant and a few handprints and thatâs it.
Isnât this more than convenient?
For a conventional Orthodox Immortal Path, setting up a complex magic skill formula was inevitably required and to apply such a high-level seal one needed to delve into the Dao of sealing.
Just while marveling at this, Nangong Zhi turned around, her eyes red as she breathed heavily and said,
"Lord Jiu, nobody will disturb us now."
Teased by the sudden glance of Nangong Zhi, Li Jing was startled.
Hopeless.
Nangong Zhi before her perfectly embodied what âlustful as a wolf or tigerâ meant. It was somewhat frightening at first sight.
Looking at Nangong Zhi, who appeared to be at her limit due to the enchantment and seemed ready to pounce on her anytime, Li Jing silently invoked a charm. The corners of her eyes took on a seductive crimson glow.
Under this influence.
Nangong Zhi collapsed, her body turned into a puddle. Her eyes gradually went empty and she stayed there stupefied.
Seeing this, Li Jing cast a glance at the floor.
The charm of a fourteenth realm fox demon was indeed strong.
There was a large pool of water on the ground, indicative of the fact that Nangong Zhi had climaxed multiple times just because of one of his glances.
Consequently, she had lost control of her bodily functions and mental awareness on the spot, allowing him to further control her thinking.
Right now, Li Jing had transformed into a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox based on his Thousand Faces ability, not the type that primarily focuses on charm like Yulian.
It was difficult to imagine.
If he were to transform into someone like Yulian, to what extent could he go?
After pouring a cup of tea and taking a sip to calm his shock, Li Jing asked casually.
"Are you, working for the Unrivaled Desire?"
"No."
Nangong Zhi responded blankly.
Not?
Li Jing frowned, then asked again.
"Have you ever heard of Unrivaled Desire, or Greedy Wolf?"
"No."
Nangong Zhi shook her head.
Receiving this response, Li Jing fell silent.
It seemed Nangong Zhi wasnât like Fang Donghe, she wasnât even considered an outer member of the Greedy Wolf.
After some thought, Li Jing changed the subject.
"Who is the real master behind your Yuanlaixuan?"
"The head of Tian Luo Sect, the True Person Huairou."
Nangong Zhi answered numbly.
Tian Luo Sect...
Head!?
Li Jing was taken aback.
He had expected the Yuanlaixuan to be connected to the Tian Luo Sect since they were involved with the Yunshan Daoist Abode.
What he didnât expect was that the real master behind Yuanlaixuan was from the Tian Luo Sect!
And it was the freaking head...
He rubbed his eyebrows, beginning to feel a headache.
The Tian Luo Sect was one of the six most powerful factions in the Daoji Field. The position of its head was equivalent to the masters of the Nine Great Immortal Gates in the Cangming Region.
This didnât matter.
A mere leader of a faction wasnât a big threat for him.
However, getting in touch with the head of the Tian Luo Sect would be somewhat troublesome.
He would have to make a trip to the Tian Luo Sectâs main hall.
Whether he could gain anything from that, was uncertain.
There was also another problem.
The Tian Luo Sect was one of the few sects in the Eastern Immortal Domain that had an Emperor, who remained hidden in the Tian Luo Sectâs main hall instead of going to Zhong Shen Zhou.
Although the other was also an Emperor, Li Jing wouldnât underestimate him.
However, with an Emperor present, his actions would be restricted.
Becoming an Emperor means that one has truly integrated with their independent world.
Even if the realm is not opened, the power of the independent world is always at their side.
Thereâs a saying in the Immortal Realm.
Underneath an Emperor, is his world.
If the realm isnât opened, the independent worldâs power will not have much of an effect.
However, affected by their independent world, an Emperor is highly sensitive to other independent worlds.
Regardless of whether one is an Emperor or not, as long as someone with an independent world is nearby, the Emperor can immediately sense it.
This canât be avoided by simply hiding.
Unless there are a lot of people with independent worlds present, like when he was previously at the anchor point passage in the Western Immortal Realm, when he could try to blend in with the crowd.
In conclusion.
If Li Jing were to go to the Tian Luo Sectâs main hall, he would be discovered by the Emperor of the Tian Luo Sect immediately, thereby exposing himself.
Taking a deep sigh, Li Jing looked up.
"Are there members of the Tian Luo Sect in the Yuanlaixuan nowadays?"
"Yes."
"Yes, there are. The four of us, the main figures of Yuanlaixuan, are all from Tian Luo Sect, and are Tian Luo Disciples practicing in the world."
"..."
Li Jing.
Truth to be told.
Nangong Zhiâs words confused him.
All four main figures of Yuanlaixuan are from the Tian Luo Sect and they are Disciples?
Disciples.
Like the usual concept of Sons and Daughters of a sect.
It was a title only the most talented disciples in a sect could have.
While they could potentially become the future leaders of the sect, they were also the ones whom the sect would focus on training.
This Tian Luo Sect was quite playful!
Four of their disciples were sent out into the world to practice, yet were made to work and entertain in Yuanlaixuan?
While Li Jing was taken aback, he squinted his eyes suspiciously.
He had to pay a visit to the Tian Luo Sect.
Although information was limited at the moment.
Yet from the present situation, it seemed more promising to investigate the Unrivaled Desire by going to the Tian Luo Sect than not.
The two parties must have a significant connection, it was even highly likely that the Unrivaled Desire was from the Tian Luo Sect.
None of the Emperors in the Eastern Immortal Domain truly obeyed Xiang Dong.
If it hadnât been for the fact that they were no match for Xiang Dong, they would have long jumped out and claimed his position.
They had rebellious hearts.
Wouldnât it be reasonable to combine that with the people from their sect who are collaborating with Greedy Wolf in a plot to "usurp" their territories?
However, all of these were just guesses.
Further confirmation was needed.
After glancing at the thoroughly entranced Nangong Zhi, Li Jing pointed at her forehead. He used the charm of the fox demon to infuse her with some thrilling and crazy memories of their intercourse.
Ordinary charm techniques couldnât modify memory.
But a fox demon could.
After infusing the memories, Li Jing picked up Nangong Zhi, casually tore off her clothes leaving only a large red bra, and then threw her onto the bed like garbage.
...
A few hours later at dusk...
Nangong Zhi wakes up with a murmur, still feeling drowsy.
After waking up, she finds herself just in underwear on the bed, she is stunned for a moment.
Then,
The memories Li Jing hypnotized into her mind surge up like a tide, flooding her mind.
Kersplash. Nangong Zhiâs face turns so red it almost threatens to bleed.
Even though she is intrinsically someone who has lived for thousands of years and has long been numb to love, she still couldnât withstand the impact of these stimulating memories.
In her memories,
She clearly saw Li Jing, who was a female, desperately desiring her, and she was also doing her best to reciprocate.
They started off on the chair.
Then moved to the table.
Then on the floor, dressing table, windowsill...
All sorts of "positions" that she had never even heard of, frequently performed.
This was somewhat too stimulating for Nangong Zhi.
Nangong Zhi couldnât help but ponder.
Even if she was a man, she wouldnât have been that excessive, right?
With her trembling body, she manages to sit up, causing her delicate body to shudder.
At the table,
Li Jing was sitting, holding and reading an ancient record called "Spring and Autumn".
Upon seeing him, Nangong Zhi starts to breathe heavily, unable to control her bodyâs reaction.
Then she looks at his feet.
A big water stain... a dried mark left there...
Nangong Zhi wish to hide herself in a hole in the ground.
In her memory, she remembered that this water stain was left by her.
She is petrified when Li Jing glances over.
When their eyes meet, Nangong Zhi only feels her body soften, as she quickly averts her gaze, afraid of making further eye contact with him.
"Are you awake?"
The pleasant female voice rang out, like a bewitching and soul-stirring demonâs music which causes Nangong Zhiâs heart to shrivel up, she responded with a mosquito-like hum.
"Youâre good, but your stamina is a bit too low. I am not satisfied yet."
Li Jing spoke again.
"..."
Nangong Zhi.
How should she respond?
If she told Li Jing that sheâs awake, would he be pleased and ask for another hundred and eighty rounds?
She couldnât muster the courage to broach the topic.
At this moment, Li Jingâs charm has ceased to take effect on her, and all her sanity returns, and her impulsiveness has subsided.
"Dress yourself, and call over Ruhua, Ruyue, Ruyu, and Rubing, the four most famous of the courtesans."
The voice of a certain individual rises again.
???
Nangong Zhi.
Li Jingâs words were truly infuriating.
He had just finished consuming her, calling her his darling, and now heâs put his eyes on other women?
Heâs set his sights on four!
Nangong Zhi is angry and anxious all at once.
Having those kinds of memories.
Despite the fact that Li Jing is a woman, she was nevertheless somewhat infatuated.
Also, there is strong evidence to prove.
A woman doesnât necessarily need a man to be satisfied, women can also satisfy each other.
However, looking at Li Jingâs pretty face that could shock even the firmest of hearts, Nangong Zhi, despite being angry and anxious, could not blame him for his fickle heart.
She even wanted to indulge him.
As long as he was happy, it didnât matter how things turned out.
But Nangong Zhi really couldnât bring herself to call over those four popular courtesans for him to enjoy; she cannot do this.
Those four, after all, had special status, they cannot possibly satisfy Li Jingâs desires.
With a stiff laugh, Nangong Zhi says,
"Lord Jiu, Ruhua and the others do not sell their bodies and they have special identities, which canât be offended. If you feel the need for company, why donât I arrange for some other girls for you instead?"
"No, I only want those four."
Li Jing insisted.
"This..."
Nangong Zhi was in a dilemma.
"I can pay more."
Li Jing calmly opens his mouth.
"Itâs not about the money..."
Nangong Zhi bitter smile.
Just as she was considering whether or not to tell Li Jing about the real identities of the four top courtesans, he pulls out more than a hundred thousand top grade immortal crystals with a flourish, causing the entire Tian Character No.1 room to be filled with them.
Nangong Zhi was stunned at that moment.
More than a hundred thousand top grade immortal crystals; itâs no small amount!
If all the girls in Yuanlaixuan were to work overtime, it would take a year and a half to earn this much.
Include other consumptions, it is just barely enough to cover the revenue.
To put it bluntly.
Flesh trading is frowned upon everywhere.
The expectation to earn endless immortal crystals just with your body, is fundamentally an illusion.
Of course.
Compared to the majority in the Immortal realm, the girls in Yuanlaixuan do make money very quickly, and itâs very leisurely compared to other professionals.
Your turn.
The existence of a brothel like Yuanlaixuan was never meant to be profitable in the first place, it mainly serves as a channel to gather intelligence for the Tian Luo Sect.
But Nangong Zhi, as the eldest sister, doesnât care about this.
Essentially just a puppet madam, she only managed to earn money.
Gathering intelligence for the Tian Luo Sect or something, itâs not her turn, a secular disciple of Yunshan Daoist Temple, to take the lead.
She isnât qualified.
Looking at the room full of top quality Immortal Crystals, Nangong Zhi swallowed hard, unconsciously thinking about calling those four over to see.
Li Jing was so good-looking and knew just how to enjoy himself.
Maybe those four wonât mind?
After all, being with a woman doesnât mean losing oneâs self, right?
The moment this thought crossed his mind, it spiralled out of control.
Just then, Li Jing spoke up.
"You can rest assured, I, Jiu Li, never force others. I only enjoy consensual encounters. Call those four ladies over, and if they disagree, I wonât lay a finger on them."
Having heard these words, Nangong Zhi became hesitant.
If there was no force involved, then indeed, why not try it out?
She could just tell them that some Venerable wanted to meet them...
Before this, when Li Jing released his aura, everyone in Yuanlaixuan was aware of it.
Having a peak Venerable here, surely, the four of them wouldnât refuse to meet him.
As these thoughts crossed her mind, Li Jing delivered the final blow to Nangong Zhi.
"By the way, these treasures on the ground are just for you. But the condition is, you have to bring those four ladies to me."
These words were like the whispering of a devil.
Instantaneously, they made up Nangong Zhiâs mind.
Struggling to get up and putting on a gown, Nangong Zhi looked resentfully at Li Jing and said softly,
"Lord Jiu, please wait a moment. Iâll go upstairs and invite the four ladies down."
Having said that, she deliberately twisted her waist and left the room.
Li Jing watched her leave the room, a slight smile on his lips.
Though he didnât want to admit it, he was beginning to enjoy playing the role of a fox demon.
...
Nangong Zhi didnât keep Li Jing waiting for long.
After a brief moment, she returned alone.
Seeing her enter alone, Li Jing raised his eyebrows.
Just as he was about to inquire, Nangong Zhi chided softly.
"Patience, darling. The four ladies take your summoning very seriously. Theyâre all getting dressed up and will be down shortly."
At her words, Li Jing nodded and continued to read his book.
This book.
Of course, it wasnât really a book.
It was actually a classic text on spatial array formation.
Li Jing just didnât want Nangong Zhi to know what he was studying, so he had switched the cover to something she wouldnât understand.
Seeing Li Jing engrossed in his book, Nangong Zhi didnât disturb him, she quietly sat across from him.
Before long.
"Knock knock," two knocks on the door sounded.
Then, a highly magnetic female voice sounded from outside.
"Mother, my sisters and I are here."
At the sound of the female voice, Li Jing looked up from his "book" excitedly.
Nangong Zhi hurriedly responded,
"Come in quickly, Lord Jiu is waiting for you."
Upon hearing Nangong Zhiâs response, the door was pushed open by a delicate hand.
Subsequently,
Four breathtaking beauties walked into Li Jingâs line of sight.
At the sight of these four women, a brilliant smile spread across Li Jingâs face.
"Good, very good!"
Upon entering the room and catching sight of the top grade Immortal Crystals, the four of them were collectively taken aback.
And hearing Li Jingâs comments, they assumed he was praising their beauty.
The four of them each revealed a slightly beautiful smile, straightened their backs and walked in one by one.
Nangong Zhi felt a pang of jealousy hearing Li Jingâs praises.
Wasnât it agreed that she was his beloved?
All five of them were unaware that Li Jingâs approval was because he saw health bars hovering over all four of their heads.
This indicated,
That the Tianluo Sect and the Supreme Desire Sect were in cahoots.
The four âHeavenly Sonsâ werenât human.
The problem with the Tianluo Sect was now irrefutable.
It should be noted,
The Eastern Immortal Domain was a world for human cultivators.
Although it was not hostile towards monster cultivators or other alien species, it would not allow them to establish sects and develop their powers in a world meant for humans.
No matter how well-developed the Tianluo Sect was or whether they had an Emperor,
Donghua Immortal Palace would never recognize a sect established by an alien species. The other sects in the Daoji Field wouldnât allow an alien power to establish roots in their territory either.
Meanwhile,
Ruhua, Ruyue, Ruyu, and Rubing moved closer and stood in a line ready to greet him. Just as they were about to pay their respects, something flashed in the corner of Li Jingâs eye.
Instantly,
All four fell under his spell.
Nangong Zhi, who hadnât been looking at Li Jing, didnât notice immediately.
Seeing the four stiffly standing there without having paid their respects, she was taken aback and instinctively turned her head.
Quite simply,
She too, fell under his spell...
Having taken care of all five, a golden glow flashed in Li Jingâs eyes.
Fang Donghe was a monster.
He had confirmed this early on through his Eye of True Vision.
He had purposely not clarified this to Sikong Lu earlier, to avoid her suspect suspicion toward the Southern Monster Realm.
Li Jing had now transformed into a monster.
And could easily sense other monsters.
The moment he entered Yuanlaixuan, Fang Donghe was clearly within his senses, without any deliberate detection.
However, the four women before him didnât give him any impression of being monsters.
He was curious as to what species these four belonged to.
He activated his Eye of True Vision and the answer revealed,
High-level Elves.
Caught off guard by the reply, Li Jing was momentarily startled.
High-level Elves?
The same race as the Emperor of the Western Earth, Kaelan?
