Chapter 671 Alternative "Buying"

Yunxi nodded with amusement and said:
"You like Young Master Jin Xiu?"

"I wouldn't say that, but he is indeed handsome. I'd like to spend some time with him and improve my cultivation in the process."

Bingli spoke the truth.

"If that's the case, just give me spirit stones. Why would he refuse?"

Yun Xi asked curiously.

She felt that this was a transaction, and the other party's disagreement was probably due to a lack of spirit stones. She believed that by spending more spirit stones, she could get what she wanted.

Bingli replied somewhat dejectedly:
"Alas! When I first met Young Master Jin Xiu, his attitude towards me was acceptable, and he was quite satisfied with the spirit stones I paid. But two days later, he started avoiding me, and I don't know why."

"Dengyun Tower has more than just one young master Jin Xiu, we can just find another one."

Bingli shook her head and said:
"He's the one I like."

This is absolutely true.

Yunxi wanted to click her tongue in disbelief. She hadn't realized that this man was so picky about finding a cultivation partner. However, Bingli's words piqued her curiosity, and she also wanted to meet this Young Master Jinxiu.

"Since you can't live without him, then I will make the trip. If he is satisfied with the spirit stones I have paid, I will take him to 'Celestial Guests Gathering'. You can meet me there."

Of course, at that time I wanted to know more detailed information about the Su family, including information about Feng Jiayun. What do you say?

Bingli nodded in agreement, then took out a contract. After both parties imprinted their divine senses on each other, the contract was established.

At the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), Yunxi knocked on the back door of Dengyun Tower. The moment the tall, thin man opened the door, a storage bag fell into his hand. Then, Yunxi raised her chin and said:

"I have come to see Young Master Jin Xiu."

After the tall, thin man probed his storage bag with his divine sense, his attitude immediately became respectful. He smiled and raised his hand, saying:
"Dear guests, please come inside."

Yunxi, carrying Lili, swaggered into Dengyun Tower with her nose in the air, and was immediately taken to the fifth floor.

Yunxi sat on the soft couch by the window, looking at the scenery outside. After a while, a maid brought spirit wine, spirit fruit and exquisitely prepared spirit food. Someone then placed an ancient zither behind a screen and respectfully left the room.

Lili jumped onto the table, sniffing here and there, then grabbed a pastry and started munching on it. Yunxi didn't stop her at all, as if the pastries were just ordinary food.

Five minutes later, a tall man dressed in a light green gauze robe entered the room. He did not greet Yunxi first, but sat in front of the guqin behind the screen, lit a stick of sandalwood incense and began to play the guqin. The melodious and profound sound of the guqin entered Yunxi's ears and had a unique flavor.

The piece the other person was playing seemed to be telling the story of love between lovers, so poignant and tender that it was truly moving. Yunxi smiled slightly, seemingly infatuated, but when she lowered her eyes to drink, a look of disgust and coldness flashed in her eyes.

Because when the piano music changed key, Xiaomeng transmitted her voice:

"Your Excellency, he is pulling you into an illusion."

Yunxi calmly picked up the spirit wine and transmitted her voice:

"They do have some tricks up their sleeves."

Lili had already jumped back onto Yunxi's lap, looking drowsy.

Yunxi put Lili into her spirit beast pouch, staring at her through the screen with an air of wanting to devour her alive.

Perhaps Yunxi's gaze was too intense, for the male cultivator quickly finished playing, then rose, walked around the screen, and approached Yunxi, bowing respectfully without being humble or overbearing:
"Jin Xiu greets the distinguished guest."

Looking at the handsome young man before her, Yunxi could understand why Bingli couldn't forget him. However, she hadn't forgotten her own purpose, so she smiled and said:

"You may address me as Xi Yun. Sit down and let's talk."

Jin Xiu glanced at Yun Xi, then immediately looked away, respectfully sat down opposite her on the soft couch, and thoughtfully poured her a cup of spirit wine.

"How long has Young Master Jin Xiu been a member of Dengyun Tower?"

Jin Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Jin Xiu joined Dengyun Tower when he was young. It was the Tower Master who took pity on me because I had no relatives and taught me cultivation all the way. After I broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, I started playing the zither to earn cultivation resources and give back to Dengyun Tower."

"It seems you've adapted well to life in Dengyun Tower. Have you ever thought about leaving? If you're willing, I'm happy to help you fulfill your wish."

After saying that, he unexpectedly grabbed the other person's hand and even tickled the other person's palm with his little finger, clearly intending to tease them.

Jin Xiu immediately withdrew his hand, a hint of unease flashing across his face, then lowered his head and said:

"Jin Xiu wants to repay Dengyun Tower for a few more years, and leave after breaking through to the Void Refinement stage. By then, I will also have the ability to protect myself."

Yunxi stared at Jin Xiu's face, a somewhat lewd smile on her face, and said:

"What's so difficult about that? Just go back and cultivate with me. I guarantee you'll break through smoothly. It's beneficial for both of us."

"This"

Jin Xiu glanced at Yun Xi again, seemingly hesitant.

Yunxi curled her lips and this time directly threw the other party a storage ring filled with high-grade spirit stones.

Jin Xiu was clearly impressed by Yun Xi's generosity. After accepting the storage ring, he smiled and said:

"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest. I will inform the host and then accompany you to his residence to play the instrument."

Yunxi rolled her eyes inwardly. She'd already sold herself, yet she still insisted on finding a fig leaf to cover her shame. But outwardly, she replied with a smile:

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you. You'd better hurry."

Xiao Meng blinked, then transmitted her voice:
"Your Majesty, are you really going to take him back?"

"What else? As long as Bing Li is satisfied, that's fine. Anyway, his cultivation level is genuine. Just consider it as me spending spirit stones to buy information."

"But he just used the music to lure Your Excellency into an illusion, which clearly shows he had ill intentions."

"It doesn't matter, I didn't have good intentions anyway."

Yunxi replied indifferently.

Then, he probed his divine sense into the spirit beast pouch. Just now, Lili had been affected by the zither music and had fallen into an illusion, which was why she looked drowsy.

Although she blocked out the scent of sandalwood, the sound of the zither could not be ignored by simply plugging one's ears, which is why Lili fell for it.

Now that Yunxi has woken her up, Lili's fur stands on end, and she angrily transmits her voice:
“Your Excellency, there is something wrong with this guy. He has two souls in his body. One is so weak that it is almost dissipating, while the other is very powerful. Moreover, his soul is full of filth. He is obviously not a good person.”

Yunxi touched Lili's ear and said with a smile in her voice:
"Could it be possession by an evil spirit?"

"I'm not sure. Just now, behind the screen, his cultivation level was above Li Li's, so I didn't dare to investigate openly."

"It's alright. Your master has already used spirit stones to sway him. Once he gets to our territory, we'll teach him a lesson."

Lili clenched her little paws, which calmed her down a bit, and she even suggested:

"Your Majesty, when we get back, let Dian Dian smell it too, and see if she finds anything."

"it is good."

Yunxi smiled and agreed.

A quarter of an hour later, Jin Xiu returned, smiling, and said to Yun Xi:
"Your Excellency Xi Yun, we may depart now."

This time, Yunxi left through the back door of Dengyun Tower as before, but this time she rode in a magnificent sedan chair and headed to "Celestial Guests Like Clouds" amidst the envious gazes of the other cultivators.

 See you tomorrow, babies~
