Chapter 400 What are you standing there for? Come over and scrub my back! (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking follow-up subscriptions!)
The Imperial Music Bureau, Yingmei Pavilion.

Behind the screen in the bedroom, a huge bathtub occupies a large portion of the room. The water ripples gently, and delicate, soft petals float on it—roses, lavender, lilies—a vibrant tapestry of colors, their fragrances intoxicating.

Just then, a long, slender, yet strong leg was lifted up and gently placed on the edge of the bathtub. Water slid down, leaving two full petals sticking to the leg.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Xian's head emerged from the water, his wet hair hanging down on both sides, a rose petal also stuck to his forehead, and a look of satisfaction on his face, accompanied by a comfortable sigh.

"It's so cool..."

From setting off at dawn to searching for Princess Pingyang, to killing Emperor Yuanjing, and then confirming Huaiqing as the new emperor of Dafeng, so many things were compressed into a single day. Even though Wu Xian had already unlocked his full potential and possessed almost limitless energy and stamina, he couldn't help but feel a bit mentally exhausted.

Now that I finally have some free time, I naturally need to find a place to enjoy myself.

So after helping Mu Nanzhi awaken her spiritual essence, he left the Prince Huai's mansion, then rode Xu Qi'an's beloved little mare to the Jiaofangsi (a type of entertainment venue) and thoroughly enjoyed the pleasures of capitalism.

As he was thinking this, a soft touch came from the back of his head, interrupting his increasingly scattered thoughts.

The camera pans to reveal a woman behind the bathtub, draped only in a sheer veil, her figure alluring. She is gently massaging and kneading his shoulders and chest with her soft hands, her movements suggestive and provocative.

"You've become even more handsome and dashing in just a few days."

Fu Xiang, the top courtesan of the Jiaofangsi, gazed at Wu Xian's eight-pack abs and perfect physique with an almost obsessive look. Her fox-like, alluring eyes moistened slightly, and her legs involuntarily rubbed together, adding a few more points of humidity to the surrounding air.

"It's alright. I just broke through recently, so it's a pleasant surprise."

Wu Xian squinted and answered softly, then, as if remembering something, smiled and teased, "So, do you like it?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiang's cheeks, already flushed from the heat, burned even hotter. But then, as if remembering something, she raised her small fist and punched Wu Xian's shoulder, then said in a resentful tone:

"If you like something but can't have it, it's better not to look at it at all."

"Ah this..."

Hearing such outrageous words, even Wu Xian, whose thick skin could withstand all the attacks of a first-rank expert, couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

As everyone knows, since we've traveled to the world of the Great Feng Dynasty's night watchmen, how could we possibly miss the essential tourist activity of listening to music in the brothels?

Although Wu Xian was a man of integrity, he would occasionally invite his fellow night watchmen to go to formal places like the Jiaofangsi (a brothel) to have some fun.

Moreover, thanks to his title of "Little Poet Immortal," he naturally became the dream lover of all the young ladies in the brothel. Many virtuous and talented courtesans were willing to offer themselves to him, hoping that Wu Xian would write a good poem for them in order to increase their value in the future.

Of course, there are also young ladies who are simply attracted to his body and talent.

Take Fu Xiang, for example. With just one poem, "A faint fragrance drifts in the twilight," he easily captured her heart. From then on, she never drank tea with anyone else again, adopting a "my humble door is only open for you" attitude, which made countless men in the capital envious.

Unfortunately, despite Fu Xiangsheng's stunning beauty and captivating allure, her true identity is that of a fox spirit named Ye Ji, one of the incarnations of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox of the demon race. Her current body is merely the corpse of a woman possessed by Ye Ji.

That's why, no matter how much Fu Xiang teases him in private or says she doesn't need him to take responsibility over the years, Wu Xian has never actually "eaten" her. At most, he just indulges in a little physical pleasure. This is one of the reasons why Fu Xiang is so resentful.

Of course, Wu Xian wouldn't mind if he met the other party's true form later.

Thinking this to himself, Wu Xian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, seemingly casually:
"Fu Xiang, you must have heard about what happened today."

The small hands massaging my shoulders paused slightly, then continued massaging:

"I have heard about it, but I am not interested in these things. As long as you are safe and sound, everything will be fine."

Good heavens, you're so virtuous! If I hadn't read the original story, I wouldn't believe that you're actually a fox spirit.

Wu Xian sighed, but still spoke:
"Is that so? What about the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox? Does she think the same way?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiang's pupils instantly contracted, almost shrinking to a vertical line, emitting a ghostly blue light. Simultaneously, her aura changed abruptly, as if she had become a completely different person. Wu Xian's lips curled into a smile. Ignoring the strange energy being continuously channeled into his shoulders by the two small hands, he stood up naked from the bathtub, turned to Fu Xiang, and said with a smile:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness, Princess of the Demon Kingdom."

Fu Xiang... no, now she should be the Nine-Tailed Fox, her gaze unconsciously glancing at someone's third leg, her lips twitching slightly, then she put on a bewitching smile, her voluptuous body pressed against Wu Xian's like a water snake, her fingertips drawing circles on his chest.

"Wu Yinluo, you have some impressive skills. Even the supervisor couldn't detect my presence, but I didn't expect to slip up with you. I just don't know how you knew my identity?"

Wu Xian's lips twitched. He couldn't bear to tell her that the supervisor had already discovered her existence, so he changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, I know why you're lurking in the capital. It's nothing more than to break the seal under Sangbo Lake and retrieve Shenshu's left arm, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox completely lost her composure. The smile on her face vanished instantly. She shoved Wu Xian away from the bathtub and asked in an icy tone, "Who exactly are you? Why do you know about Shenshu? Do you have any connection with Buddhism?"

"Buddhism? They don't even deserve to be called Buddhists!"

Wu Xian sneered, then raised his hand and used his qi to control Fu Xiang's delicate body to press against him again. Ignoring her struggles, he whispered in her ear:
"Who I am is not important; what matters is that I am now practically the master of the Great Feng Dynasty. I have the ability to help the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom restore its kingdom. I can even help Shen Shu, your father, find all his remains and help him return to perfection, restoring his cultivation as a half-step Martial God..."

As Wu Xian revealed one secret after another, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's expression kept changing, as if she was considering something.

Immediately afterward, her expression changed, and she suddenly reached out to cover herself, saying in embarrassment and anger:
"what do you want?"

Wu Xian's lips curled up as he raised his right hand, rubbed the suspiciously viscous liquid, and said flippantly, "It's simple. After I help you restore the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, you must form an alliance with the Great Feng and temporarily become its vassal state. I need enough luck to do something big..."

As he spoke, Wu Xian gave a general description of the future where a top-tier expert wanted to refine the Nine Provinces. The Nine-Tailed Fox's expression grew increasingly grim, clearly indicating that the information contained within had exceeded her expectations.

"Are all the things you've said true?"

Wu Xian chuckled, then lay back down in the bathtub, his expression returning to one of ease: "Whether it's true or not, it has nothing to do with you. Anyway, I don't expect your demon race to help me fight against the superior ones. The only person I care about is your father. Once I revive him, everything will be clear."

Silence fell over the bedroom. After a long while, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox finally spoke:

"I can agree to your conditions, but you must also promise me that you will not treat our demon race as cannon fodder, and that the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom will not remain a vassal of the Great Feng forever."

"no problem."

Wu Xian nodded, agreeing immediately. Then, glancing at Fu Xiang, who was now completely open with him, the light gauze curtains falling to the ground, he thought with a playful expression:
"In addition, I have one more condition... I want Ye Ji to come to the capital as soon as possible, and from then on she will be my fox spirit alone."

"Oh!"

Fu Xiang was slightly surprised, looked down at her own body, and smiled, "I see. It seems you really have fallen for her."

"There's no way around it, who doesn't like a vixen?"

Wu Xian looked into the eyes of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and revealed a meaningful smile.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was startled. Thinking of the other party's earlier offense, she couldn't help but glare at him fiercely. Then the blue light in her eyes disappeared, and Ye Ji's soul once again took over the body.

"Son..."

Fu Xiang, or rather Ye Ji, looked at Wu Xian with a nervous expression, feeling extremely anxious and afraid that this man would hate her because of her deception.

"What are you standing there for? Come over here and scrub my back."

Wu Xian said calmly, then turned around, his meaning quite clear.

Upon seeing this, Ye Ji's worries instantly vanished. After giving a soft "hmm," she stepped into the bathtub and began to serve Wu Xian with her unique back-scrubbing technique.

And then... I had a really good time rubbing it!
