I Want to Open the Biggest Brothel in Chaling City

"Di Tian, you should go down. This king has something to discuss with the Sea God."

"Sea God?"

Do you believe me?

Di Tian couldn't help sneering inwardly.

If his lord truly meant to let the Sea God Clan handle this matter and unleash its might, then his name, Di Tian, would be wasted.

"My lord, no matter what happens, your subordinates will stand firmly by your side. And no matter what you command, we'll give it our all."

Guo Nian felt somewhat comforted by those words.

She had never doubted Di Tian's loyalty to her. It was just a shame that, with so many things happening lately, even the master of Xiao Ge's original world had managed to reveal himself. There was no way she could let Di Tian in on it.

So, she could only discuss this matter with the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey. In front of everyone else, she had to keep it hidden.

Guo Nian waved her hand and gave Di Tian a few words of gentle reassurance before sending him away.

Di Tian was a little reluctant to leave Guo Nian without telling her what he intended to do, but he still withdrew.

Once Di Tian had left, Guo Nian turned back to the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey.

"Ruicui, what do you mean by suggesting we leave the Star Dou Great Forest early to avoid Ying San's detection?"

None of the others spoke. Only the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey, who stood beside the lizard, answered with a perfectly reasonable explanation.

"The person called Xiao Ge can now conceal Ying San's perception. So if I leave the Star Dou Great Forest and go to Xiao Ge's side, won't that solve the problem? With Xiao Ge there, Ying San probably won't be able to do anything to me."

It was half true and half false.

The Three-Eyed Golden Monkey naturally wouldn't agree to that. She had only been waiting for an opportunity to bring it up, and had made her suggestion accordingly.

Of course, there was another, more important reason: she was full of curiosity about Xiao Ge, whom Guo Nian had mentioned, and about the world he came from.

"No."

Guo Nian rejected the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey's suggestion without hesitation.

If she let the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey appear beside a human, she'd have to be out of her mind to agree.

Even if that human could conceal Ying San's perception and prevent Ruicui from being poisoned by him...

Humans were already the creatures most likely to arouse the Ghost King's suspicion.

"Ah... all right."

The Three-Eyed Golden Monkey pouted and reluctantly gave in.

She wanted to find a chance to bring it up again. There was another reason she didn't dare say aloud: she had a feeling her lord might not be all that reliable. Under Xiao Ge's influence, she seemed to be getting more and more interested in the human world. Before long, she might even become that Sea God, Ying San's, companion.

Since she'd already realized her lord might not be reliable, wasn't it only natural to say so?

At least beside her lord, she couldn't be sure her safety would be guaranteed.

It would be better to go to Xiao Ge's side.

At least beside Xiao Ge, she wouldn't have to worry about Ying San's threats.

Unfortunately, her suggestion had been coldly rejected by her lord.

She dared to be a little careless in front of Di Tian, occasionally acting spoiled and throwing a little tantrum, but she wouldn't dare do the same in front of her lord.

Thinking about Ruicui's discomfort at being caught between them, Guo Nian's lips twitched, and she swallowed back her words.

She felt as though she'd been rejected... Was that just an illusion?

The distance from the Star Dou Great Forest to Chaling City wasn't far. By dusk, Huo Yuhao and the other two had arrived in Chaling City.

Duoduo and Xiao Ge were fascinated by the bustling, lively Chaling City, but by comparison, Huo Yuhao's reaction seemed rather subdued.

[We've reached Chaling City!]

[Too bad it's just like I expected. Chaling City doesn't seem to have any particularly interesting places... What a difference! Such a huge difference!]

[Even if Chaling City is nearly ten times bigger than the previous city, I still want to find the biggest brothel in Chaling City!]

[A city this big, and not one fun place in sight... Those people from Chaling Spirit Academy have no idea what a wonderful combination it is to train hard all day and then head into the city at night to enjoy some lovely music.]

[Sigh... I miss little Bai and little Zi from Wangyue Tower.]

Duoduo couldn't help sighing deeply.

Xiao Ge was good in every way, but romance was his greatest weakness.

He was young, talented, strong, and even thoughtful enough to bring her to enjoy the sights. He was an excellent companion in every respect. But Xiao Ge's personality was just a little too rigid. He was so serious all the time—he was practically a stick in the mud!

But...

That wasn't exactly a major flaw.

He was only a little too upright... When it came to her looks, Duoduo was confident she could charm anyone.

[If I have to stay in Chaling for a while, I'll have to find a place with a little music and entertainment. I won't be able to stand it otherwise.]

[That's it. I've made up my mind.]

[I'm going to open the biggest brothel in Chaling City! The biggest brothel in the whole continent! That way, I won't have to go looking for some shoddy little place that's definitely not worth the price.]

[That's right, I want to open a high-class brothel! One that only serves people like me...]

[Come to think of it, a brothel that's too fancy might be a pain to manage. With my personality, I probably wouldn't want to bother running it. Never mind.]

[At worst, I'll find a few pretty girls who aren't any worse than little Bai and little Zi to wait on me. They can sing, dance, and keep me company.]

[That idea sounds pretty good. A genius from Chaling Spirit Academy asks them to sing and dance just for me? Just thinking about it makes my heart race! Their songs would have to be better than little Bai's, and their dancing would have to outshine little Zi's!]

[But there's one problem: I'm afraid the girls might be shy. I'm not good at letting someone else sing and dance for me, either. I'm not that kind of person. I'd rather sing and dance for you.]

Huo Yuhao couldn't help glancing at Duoduo, while Xiao Ge also drew in a deep breath.

Why did they have to talk about such strange things in the diary?!

And why was Huo Yuhao actually thinking of finding beautiful women to sing and dance for him?

Duoduo silently sighed inwardly.

To keep Xiao Ge from getting more and more worked up and doing something he shouldn't, Duoduo had no choice but to change the subject.

"Let's go register our names."

As she spoke, Duoduo pulled out a gold-trimmed introduction letter and handed it to Xiao Ge.

"It's an introduction letter from the chief examiner of the Spirit Academy. With it, you won't have to take the entrance exam—you can enroll directly."

Seeing the introduction letter in Duoduo's hand, Huo Yuhao turned his attention back to the present.

Oh, right.

I'm now a creature with spiritual power above ten ranks.

Xiao Ge didn't ask any questions. He simply accepted the introduction letter from her. Huo Yuhao didn't know if it was his imagination, but there seemed to be a faint aroma of alcohol on the letter.
