Courtesan Queen
The Cold Corpse Valley is located on Limitless Island, about 10,000 miles from Shadow City.
This valley, inherited from the Nether God Temple, spans a thousand miles and is perpetually shrouded in a thick Corpse-Baleful Qi.
In the valley, as far as the eye could see, there was only a vast expanse of white bones.
This is a deathly place where the living must stay away, but for cultivators of the Corpse Path, it is an excellent place for refining corpses.
Hidden within the Cold Corpse Valley are malevolent spirits born of resentment, making it fraught with danger. However, in order to refine the Corpse-Baleful Qi within, Limitless Island established the Baleful Qi Hall here.
The Baleful Qi Hall was built at the entrance of the valley and was guarded by a cultivator in the Golden Core Early Stage named Yin Pan.
Yin Pan's main cultivation Cultivation Method was not the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art>, and he was not mentioned in the information provided by Han Wu.
The Baleful Qi Hall has many disciples, numbering over two thousand.
Wherever there are people, there will be various needs.
Over time, a small market town was formed outside the Cold Corpse Valley, specifically to serve the disciples of the Baleful Qi Hall.
The most popular activity in this market was the brothel.
Working in the Baleful Qi Hall is both a lucrative and a grueling job.
Due to the influence of the Corpse-Baleful Qi, nothing grows around the Cold Corpse Valley, making it a truly bitterly cold place.
Surrounded by the Corpse-Baleful Qi year-round, the disciples of the Baleful Qi Hall inevitably harbor resentment in their hearts. To relieve this resentment, they often frequent brothels.
That day.
Disguised as Rogue Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, Song Wen stepped into the most famous brothel in the local market— Splendid Dream Pavilion.
A brothel madam with large hips and breasts, dressed in thin clothes, came forward.
"The guest looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time visiting Splendid Dream Pavilion?"
The madam's weathered face wore a fawning and obsequious smile.
Song Wen, with the look of a lecherous glutton, stared unabashedly at the madam's exposed white flesh.
"This is indeed my first time here."
The madam was completely unfazed by Song Wen's aggressive gaze; she even deliberately trembled. Instantly, her breasts surged.
"What kind of fairy do our guests prefer? Pure and innocent? Shy and demure? Wild and passionate...?"
A glint of desire flashed in Song Wen's eyes as he smiled and said...
"I think you're pretty good."
The madam was clearly taken aback by Song Wen's answer. She paused for a moment, then smiled and replied.
"You flatter me, sir. How could an old woman like me, withered and frail, possibly be pleasing to your eye?"
"I'm not joking, I really like your taste."
As he spoke, Song Wen slapped the madam's plump buttocks.
Ouch!
The madam jumped up in surprise.
She looked at Song Wen with a resentful expression and a foxy look in her eyes.
"Guest, you don't know what's important. If you want it, I'll give it to you."
"You can't do it alone, you need to bring a few more. I'm not short of Spirit Stone, so call a few more. Bring me all your most popular courtesans," Song Wen said.
"Guest, our establishment boasts five top courtesans, each a beauty chosen from among the best. Which one would you like to choose?"
The madam took out an Image-Recording Stone, intending to show Song Wen these courtesans.
Song Wen waved his hand dismissively, "No need to choose, just bring them all here."
The madam's expression brightened, but she quickly added a reminder.
"Guest, their prices are quite high, five hundred Spirit Stone per person per day. I wonder if you can afford that many Spirit Stones?"
Song Wen flipped his hand, and a Spirit Stone appeared in his palm.
Is this enough?
"Superior Spirit Stones!" the madam exclaimed in surprise.
Her voice immediately drew the attention of many people in the lobby.
These people stared at the Spirit Stone in Song Wen's hand, their faces showing surprise, and some even had a hint of greed in their eyes.
However, with the Baleful Qi Hall behind the Splendid Dream Pavilion, no one dared to act recklessly here.
The madam's eyes gleamed as she stared intently at Song Wen. "Enough, enough!"
Song Wen was completely oblivious to the greedy gazes around him.
With a smug grin on his face, he stuffed the Spirit Stone into the crevice of the madam's chest, and casually groped it a couple of times.
The madam's face beamed like a blooming chrysanthemum. "Guest, would you like to see a song and dance performance in the lobby, or would you like to go to your room now?"
Song Wen shifted his gaze from the madam and scanned the hall.
A raised platform was set up in the lobby, where a dozen young women were singing and dancing.
More than ten tables were set up in front of the platform.
Several tables were already occupied by guests who were enjoying the song and dance performances on stage, accompanied by beautiful women from the brothel.
"Let's watch the song and dance performance first," Song Wen said.
"Guest, please follow me."
As she spoke, the madam swayed her thick waist and was about to lead Song Wen to the front table.
However, Song Wen declined the madam's offer and sat down at a table in the second row.
Three male cultivators were already seated at this table.
Two are in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and one is in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
All three were dressed as servants of the Baleful Qi Hall.
"Fellow Daoist, we don't seem to know each other, do we?" the male cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage said, his tone carrying a hint of coldness and hostility.
Song Wen, however, didn't seem to mind at all; he wore an overly friendly and familiar expression on his face.
"My name is Cui Huo. I have met you three fellow Daoists from the Baleful Qi Hall. It is fate that we have met. I wonder if I could share a table with you?"
"Cui Huo?" The male cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage stared at Song Wen. "The 'Cui' of the Cui Family in the Southern Region?"
Song Wen smiled slightly, "Exactly."
The male cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage narrowed his eyes slightly; he had also noticed Song Wen throwing Spirit Stone earlier.
He laughed and said, "So you're a member of the Cui Lineage, my apologies. I am Chen He, and these two are Wang Wu and Qian Cheng."
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Wang, Fellow Daoist Qian." Song Wen bowed to each of them.
Just then, five strikingly beautiful women walked over and stood beside the madam.
"Young Master Cui, the ladies have arrived, look..."
The madam had clearly overheard Song Wen and Chen He's conversation and changed how she addressed Song Wen.
Song Wen turned to the madam and said.
"I don't need to. Just let them take good care of Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Wang, and Fellow Daoist Qian."
Song Wen pointed to the remaining food and wine on the table and continued.
"Remove these and replace them with a table full of fine spiritual wine and a spiritual feast."
"Young Master Cui, please wait a moment, I will make the arrangements immediately."
After directing the five women to serve Chen He and the others, the madam took her leave. She didn't really think that Song Wen had taken a liking to her.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
With five women accompanying him, Song Wen and Chen He quickly became close, soon addressing each other as brothers.
"Brother Cui, what brings you all this way from the chaotic Hainan Island to our Western Regions?"
While Chen He was groping the female cultivator beside him, he asked a question.
"We cultivators strive to cultivate so that we may roam this world. Now that Foundation Establishment and can travel on swords, we should naturally explore the land," Song Wen said.
"Brother Cui, I admire your magnanimity. Brother Cui, did you encounter anything interesting on your trip? Tell us about it, so that the three of us can broaden our horizons."
"There are quite a few interesting things to tell you about," Song Wen said with a hint of mystery in his voice. "Near this Cold Corpse Valley, I encountered a strange event."
