Chapter 48: Even You, with Those Thick Eyebrows and Big Eyes…

Knock knock knock...

Just then, someone knocked on Luo Xing’s door.

It’s so late. Who could it be?

“Junior Brother Luo? Are you asleep?”

Hong An?

What does he want by coming to find me in the middle of the night?

Luo Xing hesitated for a moment, but he still went over and opened the door, pretending he had just woken up from bed. “Senior Brother Hong? It’s so late. Aren’t you resting? Is something the matter?”

However, Hong An didn’t answer Luo Xing directly. Instead, he grinned at him. “Come on, stop pretending, Junior Brother Luo. Would you really sleep this early?”

They were both at Foundation Establishment; going a month or two without sleep was no problem. Why pretend you just woke up?

“Uh…” Caught out in a single glance, Luo Xing laughed awkwardly. “You saw through me, Senior Brother… hahaha…”

So what exactly did you come to find me for?

“Junior Brother Luo, you can’t sleep either, right?” Hong An approached Luo Xing with a lecherous grin.

The other’s smile was really a bit sleazy. Luo Xing instinctively stepped back. “Uh… yeah…”

Can’t sleep, so what?

Any advice?

I’m not interested in taking a walk with you in the courtyard.

“Perfect! I can’t sleep either!” Hong An’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Junior Brother! How about we go for a stroll?”

“Stroll?” Luo Xing frowned. “It’s late at night. Everyone’s gone back to rest. What’s there to see?”

“Ah! Junior Brother, you wouldn’t know this!” Hong An hooked an arm around Luo Xing’s neck, leaned close to his ear, and whispered with a laugh. “Junior Brother! Have you ever heard the saying ‘After wine and food, head to the pleasure house to listen’?”

As soon as he said this, Luo Xing abruptly turned to look at Hong An. “Senior Brother, you…”

Well, well!

When we first met, I thought you were such a gentleman!

I never expected that even you, with those thick eyebrows and big eyes, would…

“Ah! Junior Brother, you don’t know this…” Hong An, as if finding a kindred spirit, began to pour out his troubles to Luo Xing. “Your senior brother… I’ve had a hard life!”

His master was the peak lord of Yulan Peak, Fourth Elder Lü Siqi. He was renowned throughout the Xuantian Sect for his lofty integrity and gentlemanly demeanor, and he held his own disciples to the same strict standards.

Not only was the sect atmosphere strict, but he also had extremely harsh requirements for his disciples’ conduct and character, tolerating no impropriety.

Luo Xing: “…”

I get it. Male Virtue Academy dean.

“But… isn’t that how it should be?” Luo Xing tentatively said. “After all, you’re a personal disciple…”

“Forget it!” Hong An curled his lips disdainfully. “My master is over nine hundred years old. For all I know, he’s already tired of whatever fun there is. But how old am I? I haven’t experienced so many new things yet!”

Saying this, he grinned at Luo Xing again. “Junior Brother, you must be the same, right? After all, Elder Ye is that kind of person…”

“Senior Brother! Watch your words!” Before Hong An could finish, Luo Xing quickly covered his mouth, looking nervous. “There are some things you absolutely cannot say!”

It might easily randomly spawn a Ye Li…

Hong An naturally didn’t know this reasoning. He just thought he shouldn’t speak ill of his master in front of his disciple, so he didn’t say any more.

“So, Junior Brother, do you want to…” Hong An didn’t finish the sentence, just used his eyes to signal Luo Xing.

Luo Xing showed hesitation. “This… it’s not really appropriate…”

To say he didn’t want to would be a lie. He had just come of age, full of youthful vigor. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been affected by Ye Li’s feet…

Ahem… let’s not talk about that.

“Ah! What are you afraid of!” Hong An saw Luo Xing’s hesitation and continued to persuade him. “We’ll just go out for a little while, take a look, have some fun, and come back. As long as you don’t tell and I don’t tell, no one will know.”

He had been too repressed!

Now that he had finally left the sect and come to the mortal world, if he didn’t experience this, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?

Luo Xing thought it over, and finally decided…

Let’s go!

He had lived like a monk before his transmigration, and he was still living like a monk after transmigrating. Wouldn’t that make his transmigration pointless?

Besides, he always had this idea of seeing more “new faces.” That way, when facing Ye Li in the future, he wouldn’t be so awkward.

Wasn’t this the opportunity?

What’s more…

Luo Xing looked at the excited Hong An, thinking to himself. If things went wrong, with this guy as a scapegoat, he wouldn’t get beaten too badly.

And Hong An, looking at Luo Xing, was also thinking. If the master finds out, I’ll say Junior Brother Luo pestered me to go. After all, Junior Brother Luo just joined the sect; it’s normal for him to still have worldly desires…

…

Soon, Luo Xing and Hong An left the Cheng Mansion.

As Luo Xing had said earlier, at this late hour, ordinary people had long since finished work and gone to sleep early. After all, in ancient times, there weren’t many entertainment options.

Of course, ordinary people lead plain lives, but those who aren’t ordinary have rich and colorful days!

“Oh! Master Qin, you’re here!”

“Hehehe! I’m here! Where’s Little Cui?”

“Master Hu, we have a new girl today. Want to take a look?”

“Sure! Hui’er! Bring tea!”

…

Before they even reached their destination, Luo Xing and Hong An could hear from a street away the laughter and singing of the “ladies” from the Zhenyue Tower in the distance, along with the sounds of pipes and strings.

“Junior Brother… see that?” Hong An’s eyes gleamed with excitement. “You can’t imagine the pleasures of the mortal world!”

Experiencing mortal pleasures after starting cultivation was even more beyond imagination!

Luo Xing didn’t say anything, but he silently nodded…

Just one look. Just experience it for a while.

As soon as they entered the Zhenyue Tower, a thick smell of powder and a murky, foul air hit them. This caused some discomfort to the two who were used to the scent of spiritual energy.

Along with that came a bit of excitement.

“Oh! Two young gentlemen!”

As soon as she saw them, a plump, sturdy woman waved her handkerchief and came over. “You look unfamiliar! Is this your first time?”

In any world, the entertainment industry stresses reading people’s expressions.

She saw that Luo Xing and Hong An — one with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, tall and straight, the other spirited and brimming with spiritual energy — clearly knew their status was extraordinary.

“Ahem…” Hong An suppressed his inner excitement and coughed dryly. “Passing through the area. Had nothing to do, so I came to have a look.”

Saying this, he took out a low-grade Spirit Stone from his Storage Ring. “Open a private room, and bring a pot of good wine and a few good dishes.”

As soon as she saw the low-grade Spirit Stone, the woman’s eyes went wide!

Spirit Stones could be cultivation resources, currency, or symbols of status.

Seeing Hong An produce a Spirit Stone, she immediately understood that these two young gentlemen were cultivators!

That was much more valuable than gold ingots!

One low-grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for a thousand taels of gold, but a thousand taels of gold might not necessarily be exchanged for one low-grade Spirit Stone!

“Hehehe! No problem, no problem!”

The woman smiled so much her eyes disappeared. Waving her handkerchief, she directed them. “Come, come! This way, gentlemen!”

“Senior Brother…” On the way to the private room, Luo Xing asked Hong An curiously. “You seem very experienced? Have you been here often?”

“No, this is my first time too…” Hong An lowered his voice to reply. “Everything I just did, I learned from storybooks…”

His master was too strict, so he could only find some fun from the words in storybooks.

“Storybooks? What storybooks? I haven’t seen them in the sect.”

“I don’t know where they came from. They started circulating among the inner disciples. I only found out when I accidentally saw one…”

…

The two talked as they walked, and then the woman led them into an antique-styled private room.

“Please wait a moment, gentlemen. The wine and food will be right up!”

The woman flattered and smiled, then respectfully backed out of the room and gently closed the door…

“Girls!”

But the moment the door closed, she turned sharply and shouted downstairs. “Tea party!”

Boom!

In an instant, every woman in the entire Zhenyue Tower looked at her in unison!

A big spender has arrived?!
