Number One Courtesan
News travels incredibly fast in the Cultivation World, far faster than a horse galloping or a message tied to a pigeon in the mortal realm. The news of Yue Qianchou's expulsion from the Fu Xian Island sect caused a huge uproar. Of course, an ordinary Core Formation stage disciple wouldn't cause such a commotion; the main reason was the sheer impact of his actions.
Hundred Flower Valley attacked the grandson of the Qingguang Sect Master, and Hat Island attacked the son of the Daluo Sect Master. This guy seems to specifically target those of high status. Especially after the Qingguang Sect announced that its Qingguang Sect Master and his grandson had been killed by the Qingguang Sect Yue Qianchou, offering a reward of one million high-grade Spirit Stones for information about Yue Qianchou, five million high-grade Spirit Stones for taking his head, and ten million high-grade Spirit Stones for capturing Yue Qianchou alive.
The news of the Qingguang Sect's defeat caused a stir throughout the Cultivation World. A mere Core Formation stage disciple had actually killed the Qingguang Sect Master? It was truly unbelievable. However, for those from smaller sects, one million, five million, or even ten million high-grade Spirit Stones were all incredibly tempting. Now that Yue Qianchou had lost the backing of Fu Xian Island, with his Core Formation stage cultivation and being alone, he was no different from an ordinary, low-level Rogue Cultivator, and indeed had nothing to fear. Therefore, they all sent out disciples to investigate, hoping to earn at least one million, if not ten million. Those struggling rogue Rogue Cultivator were even more eager to try their luck.
However, what worried those people was a rumor circulating in the Cultivation World: that when the Qingguang Sect's Old Ancestor Qing Nu confronted Yue Qianchou, the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending Old Ancestor Qing Nu, Qingnu, failed to capture Yue Qianchou, allowing him to escape unharmed. But upon reflection, everyone dismissed it; it was pure nonsense. How could a late Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator fail to capture a Core Formation stage cultivator? That was simply a joke, a rumor.
At the request of the Qingguang Sect, the entire Cultivation Alliance sprang into action. All righteous sects that joined the Cultivation Alliance were to search the entire Cultivation World for Yue Qianchou, and if necessary, kill him on the spot. The Daluo Sect wholeheartedly agreed with this.
At this moment, inside the Wu family of the Four Great Families, the heads of the Four Great Families gathered together as quickly as possible. Having received the news from Wu Sihai, the four family heads were not surprised by the news of Yue Qianchou's expulsion from Fu Xian Island. After discussing the matter, the four family heads issued a secret order to the members of the Four Great Families: to secretly search for Yue Qianchou and, once found, to protect him and bring him back to the Four Great Families at all costs.
This news delighted none other than the various factions of the demonic path. The Righteous Path had produced such an unusual traitor, and a traitor from Fu Xian Island at that, and such a notorious one at that. If he were to join the demonic path, it would be a significant blow to the Righteous Path's reputation. Why not? Thus, the entire Demonic Path Alliance sprang into action. All the factions reached a consensus: if necessary, they would spare no effort to protect Yue Qianchou. If any faction suffered losses as a result, all factions would jointly compensate. In short, the righteous path must not be allowed to Righteous Path. Qiu Wuyuan of the Myriad Demon Palace Chou Wuyuan of energy, personally directed this operation to protect Yue.
In an instant, both the Righteous and Demonic paths were stirred up. A single Yue Qianchou completely disrupted the entire Cultivation World. It was unknown whether the Righteous Path would ultimately prevail or the demonic path would run rampant.
On the bustling streets of the Huaxia Empire, Yue Qianchou, dressed entirely in black with a small cap, was completely unaware of everything that had happened in the Cultivation World because of him. He leisurely strolled behind Shi Xiaotian, noticing the passersby and vehicles on the street, and the occasional strange looks he received. Yue Qianchou immediately became more discreet. Putting everything else aside, the fact that Bao Wanshi had misunderstood him at the General's Mansion showed that his act as a servant wasn't convincing enough!
So he found a fellow traveler passing by on the roadside to compare himself to, put his hands down from behind his back, pulled back his puffed-out chest, and followed Shi Xiaotian with a somewhat dejected look.
"Boss..." Shi Xiaotian turned around and was immediately stunned. Why did this boss look a bit like a thief? He paused for a moment and said, "Are we really going to 'Myriad Flower Pavilion'?"
"Damn it! Have you ever seen a young master call a servant 'boss'? Please, at least try to act properly. Change your address and just call him Xiao Qian." Yue Qianchou rolled his eyes.
"Uh... Xiaoqian, are we really going to 'Myriad Flower Pavilion'?" Shi Xiaotian asked somewhat awkwardly.
"Young Master, if you say so, then we'll go." Yue Qianchou put on a servant's obsequious smile, thinking to himself, "Myriad Flower Pavilion is so famous in the capital. I wonder what the difference is between ancient brothels and those in my previous life. I wasn't in the mood before, but now that I'm interested, it would be a shame not to go and see for myself."
When did I say I was going? It seems like you've been saying you were going all along. Shi Xiaotian was speechless. He had originally wanted to get a carriage, but he didn't know what Yue Qianchou was thinking when he refused and insisted on walking.
"Myriad Flower Pavilion" should be considered the premier brothel in the Huaxia Empire. It has branches in all the larger cities of the empire. To earn the title of "Wan Hua Lou" (meaning "ten thousand flowers") and to attract so many men to spend money like water, it must have something special. Yue Qianchou came here for this reason. This is the number one brothel in the world! Compared to Fu Xian Island, which is the number one brothel in the world, it seems that more people know about the former than the latter.
As night fell, a winding alley, not the main street, was filled with the sweet scent of perfume as soon as one entered. This alley was exceptionally bustling, teeming with people, a veritable street of food, clothing, shelter, entertainment, and more—all thanks to the renowned brothel, "Myriad Flower Pavilion," located here. As soon as the two entered, Yue Qianchou exclaimed in amazement at this first-rate den of extravagance, Shi Xiaotian's face also lit up with excitement.
Suddenly, a crowd surged towards the largest building in the middle of the street, adorned with colorful makeup, more beautiful than a bride on her wedding day, and the scent of pollen wafted from there. Needless to say, this must be the Myriad Flower Pavilion.
The two were swept along by the crowd. Shi Xiaotian looked back and saw that the carriages on the street were crowded together and he was secretly glad that he hadn't taken a carriage.
Yue Qianchou patted the shoulder of the man next to him and asked, "Brother, why is it so lively here? Is Myriad Flower Pavilion like this every day?"
The man, who was straining to push his way forward, glanced at Yue Qianchou with some surprise upon hearing this and said, "I can tell you're here for the first time. Today is the day the Number One Courtesan of 'Myriad Flower Pavilion' makes her appearance. You don't usually get to see her; it only happens once a month. If you're lucky, you might get a glimpse of her." After saying that, he ignored him and continued to push forward.
The most beautiful Number One Courtesan brothel? How beautiful must she be? Yue Qianchou was immediately intrigued and secretly circulated his True Essence, trying to push through the crowd. Just then, a shout came from the street, "Make way for me!" Everyone turned around and saw an officer on a tall horse leading a large troop of soldiers pushing through the crowd from the street. The common people dared not block their way, and the flow of people began to squeeze to both sides.
The entrance to the "Myriad Flower Pavilion" was immediately surrounded by a group of soldiers wielding gleaming long swords. Although the soldiers were guarding the entrance, the carriages on the street still could not enter. So, the soldiers escorted a group of people who got off the carriages toward the Myriad Flower Pavilion. Judging from their clothes, they were probably nobles or royalty.
Watching those people swagger through the crowd with such ease, Yue Qianchou wanted nothing more than to grab a few bricks and smash them, but he held back. The two of them waited in the throng for over an hour. The soldiers, having probably escorted hundreds of nobles inside, finally withdrew and guarded the entrance to the Myriad Flower Pavilion, preventing unauthorized personnel from entering. Afterwards, some wealthy individuals, escorted by servants, negotiated with the tortoise-like gatekeepers before being allowed in. As for those crowding the street, they were mostly ordinary people, or those who were wealthy and powerful but not of that caliber; naturally, they were prevented from entering and could only watch the spectacle from the outside.
"Damn it! The Number One Courtesan of the number one brothel in the land! I'm working for the third young master of the Marquis General's Mansion, who holds immense military power, and I can't even get into a brothel! What the hell!" Yue Qianchou was so angry his nose almost twisted out of shape. He glared at Shi Xiaotian, who was shaking his head and smiling bitterly, feeling extremely displeased! A fierce glint flashed across his face, and he raised his hand and shouted loudly, "The third young master of the Marquis General's Mansion has arrived..."
