Decaying World

Chapter 150, 150 Moon Tower Part 4 (Thanks to the witty, brave, and spirited Alliance Leader, Ling Sanjun)

The water in the pool was silvery and emitted a faint, strange fragrance.

Lin Hui sniffed and immediately recognized the scent as the one he had just smelled.

He sat on the oxcart, watching it drive straight toward the silver pool without stopping, and frowned as he looked at Li Xinruan.

“The Deep Domain is underwater, don’t worry. There’s only a thin layer of water on the surface. Below is a huge space where you can breathe,” Li Xinruan quickly explained.

Lin Hui said nothing more, just waited and watched as the white ox stepped into the water.

There was a crash.

He was completely submerged in the water, followed by the carriage, the reins, and then him and Li Xinruan.

Whoosh.

His vision blurred, and he was plunged into the water. Looking up, he saw the silvery surface of the water rapidly rising and receding away.

There was indeed no water flowing underwater, but rather a huge space resembling a cave.

A huge, dark gray underground cavity.

Inside the cave, colorful fish, some tens of meters long, swimming leisurely in red and blue, swam leisurely in mid-air.

Below, at the bottom of the cave, a continuous cluster of white buildings is clearly visible, like building blocks, with distinct outlines.

People, men and women, moved about everywhere between the buildings, densely packed and constantly flowing.

At first glance, everyone seemed to be urged on by an invisible force, their steps hurried and their expressions anxious.

“The Deep Realm is made up of two types of people,” Li Xinruan quickly explained. “One type is the producers. They come here to earn Feather Blood and provide services to others. The busy people you see are them. The other type is the hedonists. These people come for the Moon Tower spots. According to the Moon Tower rules, to officially enter the Moon Tower's Extreme Desire Heaven, one must rank in the top one hundred on the Extreme Bliss Platform here.”

"Paradise Terrace?"

"Yes, that's where the Moon Tower issues missions. The missions are different every period of time. As long as you follow the mission and rank in the top 100, you can be allowed to enter the Moon Tower and enjoy the true bliss of the Extreme Desire Heaven. Moreover, this bliss can also extend your lifespan by twenty years! This is a special treatment that only we Tu Yue can enjoy!" Li Xinruan said with a hint of pride.

Lin Hui sat on the oxcart, watching the vehicles continuously descend, and the cars in front of him branched off and entered various side lanes.

The oxcart was unmanned; it skillfully chose a right-hand intersection and turned in.

As soon as you enter this street, a delightful aroma of wine wafts towards you.

“It’s my younger brother’s first time here, let me introduce you.” Li Xinruan’s eyes flickered, and she smiled.

"The paradise of the deep realm is mainly divided into four areas: fine wine, music, beautiful women, and gourmet food. Our Li family mainly deals in fine wine, so our business is concentrated in this area."

"Fine wine?" Lin Hui looked around at both sides of the street. The shops were all open, and inside were drunkards who were staggering around.

These were drunk men and women, all with flushed faces and disheveled clothes. Some fell asleep immediately, while others began groping against the wall. Still others were talking incessantly in an unknown dialect, seemingly boasting about something.

Lin Hui even saw several children, no more than ten years old, also drunk and lying on the ground, crawling around like insects.

"Don't worry, little brother, the wines in this wine section are all top-quality and won't harm your health. Not only will they not harm your health, but they can also strengthen your body and nourish your spirit while you enjoy them," Li Xinruan said softly.

"How big is this deep domain?" Lin Hui asked in a deep voice.

“Below each monthly tower lies a deep realm, which can accommodate approximately seventy to eighty thousand people. Not counting those coming and going, this is the number of people who can stay here for an extended period,” Li Xinruan quickly replied.

Lin Hui remained silent, merely staring at the drunkards reeking of alcohol on the roadside, speechless.

Before he arrived, he made various preparations in his mind to avoid encountering danger.

And so we arrived at this place.
"Aren't they worried about theft or something happening to them?" he couldn't help but ask.

“No need. The undead race of the Moon Tower guards this place. They are immortal, tireless, and keep a close watch on the security of the Deep Realm at all times.” Li Xinruan shook her head. “Also, do you see those fish in the sky?”

Following her pointing finger, Lin Hui saw a huge red and white koi carp swimming over a house in the distance, its tail swaying as it swam.

The koi fish is almost as big as the five-story building below.

"I saw it."

“Those are the second-level assessors. They assess the top 100 on the Bliss Platform and also maintain order in the Deep Realm,” Li Xinruan said with a smile. “If anyone dares to cause trouble, they will immediately rush down and devour them.”

The oxcart slowly came to a stop, eventually coming to a halt in front of a three-story building.

Inside the pavilion, several people were already waiting at the door. Upon seeing Li Xinruan, they quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Young Miss, the head chef has been waiting for your goods for a long time. Please send them in quickly. The new Qingchi Brew is only missing the last three medicinal ingredients," a leading female steward said, clasping her hands in greeting.

The manager wore only a simple moon-white tube top, white trousers, and white boots. Her black hair reached her waist, her features were exquisite, and her temperament was elegant and charming.

"Where's Xiao An? Why is it Xiao He who picked me up this time? This is my friend, please make good arrangements for him and don't neglect him." Li Xinruan got out of the car and introduced Lin Hui to the group.

"Xiao An is pregnant again. She'll give birth this afternoon and then come to see you," the female steward Xiao He replied respectfully.

"Pregnant again? Doesn't she have any self-control? She went to the beauty district again?" Li Xinruan frowned.

"You know how it is. We're all in this place now, how can we control ourselves? I also had to give birth to thirty babies in one month before I could barely control it," Xiaohe said helplessly.

"Just enjoy life; there's no need to keep having children, it's too harmful to the body. Remind her about that later," Li Xinruan said in a deep voice. She turned back and smiled at Lin Hui, who looked bewildered, and explained.

"Little brother, you probably don't know this, but in this place, girls get pregnant incredibly fast. They can have sex in the morning, be heavily pregnant by the afternoon, and give birth the next day. And the babies grow into adults in just one month. Ninety percent of the people in this restaurant are Little Lotus's own flesh and blood."

Lin Hui: "."

He felt a bit confused.

“But little brother, don’t worry about too many people. Having too many children is harmful to the girl herself, so usually it’s the newcomers who can’t control themselves and keep going to the beauty section to have sex with the beauties and have children. Think about it, most of the people who come here are beautiful, and the children born from the union of beauties are naturally good-looking. Over time, the people in the beauty section here are completely different from those outside. Plus, with the natural influence of the Deep Domain, no one can resist coming in,” Li Xinruan said with a smile.

"I have a question. If births and growth are so fast here, why are there still so many people outside? The numbers don't seem to have changed much. Shouldn't the population be increasing rapidly at this rate?" Lin Hui couldn't help but ask.

“Because children who grow up here will die if they go out into the world,” Li Xinruan said with a smile.

Lin Hui remained silent once again.

This place really overturned his understanding of things.

He recalled the words the Dragon Princess of the Benevolent Sect had told him to come and see, and now that he had seen it, what was next?

why?
Why does the Moon Tower maintain the existence of such a strange area?
The thought flashed through Lin Hui's mind.

"Would you like a drink, little brother?"

At this moment, Li Xinruan had already led Lin Hui into the inner room of the pavilion. The maids had already laid out a large table full of wine and dishes, and the tempting aroma kept wafting into Lin Hui's nostrils. The aroma of this wine was many times better than the so-called fine wine outside.

The difference is like the difference between using toilet paper to wipe your bottom and using Xuan paper to write.

Li Xinruan handed over a small glass of wine with a charming expression. The wine was amber in color, exuding a honey and floral fragrance along with some unknown fruity aroma, making it incredibly tempting.

"If you come to this wine section and don't have a drink, you'll regret it later."

Lin Hui stared at the small glass of wine, noticing that the maids and servants of the Li family had all gathered around him, their eyes fixed on the glass of wine before him, their gazes greedy and yearning.

"Thank you, but no need." He pushed the glass away again, refusing.

“My brother came here to prolong his life or enter the Moon Tower, didn’t he? To enter the Moon Tower, you must obtain a ranking in Bliss. And this ranking is based on how much bliss you can experience. The stronger the bliss you experience, the higher your ranking will naturally be,” Li Xinruan said with a smile.

"I don't like drinking." Lin Hui pushed away the drink offered to him again with difficulty.

He remembered old man A-Zhe's advice: what's free is often the most expensive. Li Xinruan's offer of free drinks must have ulterior motives.

"Really? So, little brother, you like music? Or perhaps you like beauties? Once you enter the music section, it's hard to get out. The music is like a dream, pervasive and intoxicating. You can't wear clothes in the beauties section. Little brother, do you perhaps want to go there and be completely honest with me?" Li Xinruan's eyes were glazed over. For some reason, the moment she saw Lin Hui, she felt an irresistible attraction emanating from him. That attraction was hot and intense, like the finest wine, making her want to inhale it deeply.

She had a feeling that if she could get close to the other person, her level of ecstasy might reach a new peak.

"Come here, little brother, come into your big sister's arms. Let's play something even more fun together." Without realizing it, she downed the drink in one gulp and reached out to pull Lin Hui's arm again.

call.

But in the next instant, a gentle breeze blew, and the person in front of him disappeared.

Outside the attic.

Lin Hui moved swiftly through the streets.

If Li Xinruan wasn't deliberately lying to him, then she had basically revealed part of the rules of the Deep Realm.

This place is designed to give everyone who enters an experience of ultimate joy. The happiest among them will be granted entry into the Moon Tower.

He didn't know why the Moon Tower was selecting these people to enter, but according to Li Xinruan, those who entered could extend their lives by twenty years. This undoubtedly drove everyone even more mad.

"If you cannot provide bliss within one hour, you shall be expelled from the deep realm."

Just as he was running fast, he suddenly heard a clear female voice in his ear.

Lin Hui paused, looked in the direction of the sound, and suddenly his breath caught in his throat.

Directly above his head.

A huge red carp, at least 100 meters long, was floating on the water.

The red carp stared at him with its eyes fixed on him, its mouth slightly moving.

"Also, there's no need to worry about the virtual field; there is no virtual field within the deep domain."

"..." Lin Hui looked at it; the shadow cast by this giant red carp completely covered an area of ​​dozens of meters around him.

The immense pressure was so real that it subtly slowed down the flow of his internal energy by 20%.

call.

The red carp flicked its tail and swam away quickly.

Lin Hui was left standing out awkwardly and out of place in the wine street filled with drunkards.
