The lanterns are on.
Yangquanfang City.
New Year's Eve is a day for family reunions, but the business in Feixian Pavilion is even more prosperous than usual, and the entire outer courtyard hall is almost full.
There are fewer disciples of sects and disciples of aristocratic families, but there are more casual cultivators who are wandering alone. They have been busy and adventuring for a whole year, so they naturally come to enjoy themselves, look at the beauties, listen to ditties, and relax.
"Is there anything big happening near Yangquan this year?"
"Yes, a ruthless man appeared in Qingyang City in early October, nicknamed 'Qingyang Fierce Ape'. He was at the fourth level of Qi Refining and killed Xue Shanhu, who was at the eighth level of Xiantian Realm, and his head was thrown directly on the street!"
"I've also heard about this. The entire Qingyang City went crazy that night. It seems that the City Lord's Mansion colluded with several forces from the Caoyun Gang to target the Qingyang Martial Alliance. Hundreds of thousands of troops sealed off the city and surrounded them!"
"The Xue Mansion was miserable. Their clan was exterminated. More than a thousand martial arts masters were killed until their blood flowed like rivers. Even a three-year-old child was not spared. Zhong Yan was eight feet long and was as long as an iron tower. His arms were thicker than other people's thighs. His face was covered with blood. Hengrou, with a ferocious look, lifted a half-grown child over his head and crushed it into a shower of blood. He was simply a demon..."
"What nonsense! Do you think that Xia Shanhu's reputation was given in vain and that he could be killed at the fourth level of qi training? It took two masters of late qi training to work together and fight hard to kill him!"
"Goose~ It's not like what you said. That Zhong Yan who came to our Feixian Pavilion is a very handsome young man."
"..."
"You know, the Fire Cloud Sect found a Heavenly Spiritual Root, but it disappeared inexplicably."
"Hiss~Tianlinggen! Is it real or fake? Then the Fire Cloud Sect can't turn the entire Yan Kingdom over."
"It seems that the problem lies in Qingyang and Wangcheng. It is said that the Fire Cloud Sect dispatched two late-stage foundation-building elders and dozens of law enforcement hall disciples, but after several months of searching, there are no clues."
"..."
"The Wei State has been in existence for thousands of years, but it is about to fall. More than 20 princes fought in the mountains and rivers with blood, corpses littered the fields, and refugees fled in droves. It is too tragic."
"I see, within five years at most, Wei will completely disappear from the Eastern Region."
"Five years? Hehe, now Chen State, Qi State and our Yan State, who are not eyeing each other with eagerness, have long been unable to sit still, and they will be divided in minutes as soon as they enter the court. In the end, only the wrangling on the negotiation table can delay time."
"Yes, Shunyi City is already stationing troops. The capital has mobilized an army of 1.5 million. It is estimated that there will be action after the New Year."
"..."
"I heard that yesterday, the Wangdi Fang family's demon hunting expedition team to Mangdang Mountain returned."
"So fast?"
"It's pretty fast. It's already been two years. A while ago, a team came back and only two of the eight members were left. This time, there were only five people returned from the four teams, and they were all warriors."
"Warrior, that should be the outermost support. The monks may break in for some time, and they will come out without harvest."
"..."
The entire hall, upstairs and downstairs, is filled with all kinds of news, hearsay, true and false.
Bai Siyuan, dressed in black robes, walked in. When he heard the name 'Zhong Yan', he listened for a while, then his mouth twitched, he shook his head and walked to find a seat.
"Hey, Mr. Bai! You are here!"
It can be said that the Narcissus girl was moved by the wind and saw the 'fat sheep' at a glance.
Bai Siyuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth again. He didn't want to enter the box again.
Narcissus looked towards the door, "Why is the young master the only one here?"
"Hey~" Bai Siyuan sighed, "Miss Narcissus, you are so heartbreaking."
"Goose~ My sister said something wrong. Come on, let's go inside. My sister will have a drink with you!"
Bai Siyuan refused directly, "No, just come and sit for a while. I have to go back to practice. I rented a training room in Fangshi, so we can't waste it..."
Make some small talk.
Bai Siyuan found an empty seat, waited until Narcissus was out of sight and disappeared from the range of his consciousness, and immediately went to the basement with his arms around the first-level Qi practitioner girl accompanying him.
On the other side, Narcissus also twisted his waist and went to the ground, muttering angrily.
"Eight hundred!"
"Eight hundred!"
"At least 800 people came in and out that day, and only 20 or 30 people entered the box!"
"A bunch of poor people!"
“I will only have promotional drinks in the outer courtyard!”
“I can’t afford to play with the backyard girl in my life!”
Arriving in front of the stone gate No. 69, Narcissus rang the bell.
After waiting for a while, Miss Ruoyun opened the door.
"What are you waiting for? It's been taking so long!"
Ruoyun's eyes averted and he said with a smile: "Sister Narcissus, business is so good today, how come you have time to come down here?"
"Stop talking, they are all poor people. Their faces are frozen with laughter and they only earn three melons and two dates..."
Narcissus said, looking at Ruoyun's face, feeling a little strange, and walked straight into the stone room, "Of course I'm looking for you!"
Ruoyun closed the door and looked at her, her heart beating faster inexplicably, and she was looking forward to it.
Narcissus looked at her with a half-smile.
"Oops~ I hate it!" Ruoyunhong punched her in the face, "Sister, what did you say, but he's here?"
"Coming!"
Narcissus rolled his eyes and said, "It's up there!"
Ruoyun's smile instantly bloomed and she immediately ran to the dressing table to prepare.
Narcissus shook his head secretly, with a trace of ridicule on his lips, and said with a sneer: "But he didn't call you, he called someone else."
Ruoyun's gestures with the hairpin froze, and then he continued, forcing a smile and saying: "Just scream, it's normal. Do you have to find me?"
Narcissus clearly saw the disappointment on that pretty face in the mirror, sighed inwardly, walked over and sat next to her.
"Then why are you wearing so much makeup? I've never seen you so active!"
Ruoyun held back his bitterness and said with a smile: "We are still friends after all, so I should go and toast to you."
Narcissus stared at her in silence for a while, then suddenly burst into words.
"Have you forgotten the first lesson the elder taught you? Women in brothels cannot have feelings!"
"Don't forget your identity! You are not from the same group! There is no way you can be together!"
"Do you think if you don't accept other customers, he will look at you differently?"
"Do you think he really fell in love with you after he came to you three times?"
"At this moment, he is having sex with another woman!"
Ruoyun lowered his head, pursed his lips, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Narcissus stretched out his hand and pressed her shoulders firmly, "Good sister, forget him! Do what you should do, and you can find an honest man to marry in the future when you are out of misery! Let me remind you, if you find excuses to refuse to accept guests again, I will not I will speak for you again, you know the elder’s methods!”
Ruoyun stretched out her hand to support her heart, shook her head repeatedly, and wet her clothes with drops of water, bit her lip and choked:
"I tried, but I can't forget it. I can't. It's like he's always in my heart. Every time I think about how we can't see each other again or be together, my heart is like a knife, my chest is so tight that I can't breathe..."
Narcissus scolded her coldly: "If you can't do it, you have to do it! If the elders know what you look like at this moment, they will definitely throw you into the beast's cave! You haven't seen what happened to other sisters who entered the beast's cave!"
Speaking of the beast's den, Narcissus couldn't help but shudder in his heart. It was an ugly monster covered in disgusting and stinking mucus. It was drugged and its huge muscles made it impossible to survive or die.
"I will find a way to arrange a guest for you tomorrow, otherwise the elder will become suspicious."
After saying that, Narcissus stood up to leave.
Ruoyun grabbed her and said, "Sister Narcissus! Please help me!"
Narcissus waved his hand, "I haven't helped you enough? I don't want to be implicated!"
Ruoyun held on tightly and refused to let go, saying anxiously: "He likes me, he must like me! Otherwise, why would he be rewarded with fifty spiritual stones at a time!"
Narcissus was startled, blinked and sat down again, "Fifty pieces? When?"
Ruoyun nodded, let go and wiped away his tears, "Just last time, when you took a break."
Narcissus muttered: "This guy is really arrogant, fifty coins, many casual cultivators may not be able to save them in several years..."
Ruoyun said hurriedly: "Sister Narcissus, you are well-informed, wise and brave, you must have a way to help me, right? You know me, and I will repay any kindness I have. Don't worry, my sister will definitely repay you generously in the future!"
Narcissus' eyes flickered for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He said frankly: "He didn't come. Bai Siyuan came alone. The man named Bai rented a training room in Fangshi and never left."
Didn't come... Ruoyun blinked, his mood became bright for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the next moment he turned his face away with a frown.
Narcissus was suspicious, glared and struck: "Zhong Yan has always wanted to marry a female cultivator, but you are born in the world of mortals. Even if you have not accepted other customers, he may not believe it if you tell him. Even if he believes it, can others believe it? Now he You are a respectable person in Qingyang, why would you accept a brothel girl like you to make people laugh?"
Ruoyun's eyes dimmed, then became firm again, "Since he comes to the brothel, he won't care too much about this. Only when I have a clear conscience can I have the nerve to follow him. I don't ask for fame or anything, and I follow him silently. It would be nice to see him every day and be with him..."
As he spoke, Ruoyun suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth, his beautiful eyebrows knitted together tightly, looking uncomfortable.
Narcissus raised his eyebrows, his pupils shrank, and he realized something. He immediately grabbed her wrist and took a pulse. His face suddenly changed drastically, and he growled: "You, you, you are going to die!"
Oh my god, I'm actually pregnant!
I repeatedly said that I was not feeling well and did not want to pick up customers. I thought it was an excuse, but it turned out to be really inconvenient!
Narcissus' eyes widened with disbelief on his face. How dare you?
Self-destruction of dual cultivation skills after pregnancy is the most serious sin in Feixian Pavilion, and there is only one way to die!
Ruoyun suppressed her nausea, knelt down with a plop, hugged Narcissus' calf and begged: "Sister Narcissus! Please! Help me!"
"Since I arrived at Feixian Pavilion, you have always taken care of me, and I have always respected you and treated you with sincerity. Can you help my sister once? You can't save me, so please save my child!"
"I'm going to be killed by you!" Narcissus walked back and forth for a while, stared at Ruoyun, and asked in a low voice: "Did you do this on purpose?!"
Ruoyun cried and shook her head resolutely, "No, I didn't mean it! After he left last time, I realized that I fell in love with him. I was very upset and forgot to take my medicine for a while. At that time, he returned to the city to deal with Xue Shanhu. I was always worried. When I remembered it again, half a month had passed and the medicine had no effect, and then I found out that I was pregnant. It’s true, Sister Narcissus, I didn’t lie!”
"Only a ghost would believe it!"
Narcissus scolded him coldly and said angrily: "Not to mention that pregnancy is a capital crime, if Zhong Yan doesn't want this child, if he thinks you are deliberately using this child to tie him down, he can ask the elders to execute you!"
She glanced at Ruoyun's belly and counted the time. It had been three or four months. Even if she used her vitality to suppress it, she wouldn't be able to hold on for long. It was obvious that she was pregnant and there was no way she could hide it.
"The only choice now is to fall as soon as possible! Use all your strength to serve the guests, don't let anyone find out the clues, and practice the skills as soon as possible!"
Ruoyun stroked her abdomen, and Lihua shook her head with tears in her eyes, "This is my flesh and blood, the child of me and Zhong Lang..."
"Zhong Lang?"
Narcissus retorted and sneered again and again: "You are stupid for three years when you are pregnant, and you become a fool when you fall in love. You are really right! You have done both at the same time, and now you have no idea at all!"
"Do you think Zhong Yan will be willing to be a father? You are a brothel girl, who can guarantee you that the child in your belly is his? If he knew, he would probably avoid you like a plague!"
Shaking his head, Narcissus turned around and walked out, "You can fend for yourself!"
Ruoyunruan sat on the ground, lost in thought.
Narcissus, who walked to the door, added coldly, "I advise you not to notify Zhong Yan just yet, otherwise, you may die faster!"
Ruoyun raised his head suddenly, his tearful eyes flashed sharply, and he was ready to risk everything for his child. He stood up and shouted: "Sister Narcissus! I know your secret!"
Narcissus slowly turned around and stared at her expressionlessly.
Ruoyun bit his lip and said: "September 19th, Sixth Level Courtyard! But I never thought of blackmailing my sister with this. Please, without hurting yourself, make it easier for your sister and help me save her." Get rid of this kid!"
"You can go tell the elders and see who dies first."
Narcissus said lightly, opened the door and went out.
Standing in the corridor, she looked around, and her intestines were green with regret.
Originally seeing that Ruoyun was sensible and kind-hearted, and relying on Zhong Yan, a powerful casual cultivator, he planned to have a sincere friendship with her.
As a result, he turned out to be a bad guy!
To do such a heinous and unethical thing.
She had told a lot of lies. If she was discovered, she would not be punished with death, but she would at least have to shed her skin!
Now, he has even more control over himself!
"You're a bitch!"
Clenching his fists, Narcissus looked ugly and cursed lowly. He got up on the ground and went to the outer courtyard, looking around for him.
On the other side, Ruoyun was desperate for a while, then hurriedly sat in front of the dressing table, retouched her makeup, and hurriedly left the room.
She was hesitant at first, but now she couldn't care so much.
