After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

I originally thought Bu Suantian was the most reliable person, but I didn't expect her to be the most dangerous. She wanted to kill Xiao Yu in a pit of fire.

you……

Xiao Yu sighed deeply. Fortunately, things hadn't completely broken out yet, and there was still a chance.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu's eyes hardened. He looked at Bu Suantian and the others, and said:

"That's not a good idea. What if my brother Tie is used to living alone, and I suddenly intrude and disturb him? Right?"

He turned to look at the masked figure and asked for confirmation.

Given this situation, Tie Yanran probably wouldn't easily share a room with a man.

Definitely not...

However, to his surprise once again, the masked figure shook its head, and a deep voice came from beneath the狰狞 mask:

"It's alright, we're all men, it's nothing."

Through the mask, Xiao Yu could clearly sense a glint of shrewdness flashing in those alluring eyes, as if she couldn't be happier to have such an opportunity to verify her identity.

Depend on!

damn...

As expected, Tie Yanran had already begun to suspect her. This damn mask was useless; it couldn't fool anyone who knew her well.

Xiao Yu had a bad feeling. He leaned back in his chair, hoping to get as far away from the masked figure as possible so that she wouldn't notice his panic.

"To be honest, you don't need to worry about me too much. Actually, I still have many places to go. The area around Phoenix Hill Secret Realm is so big, I don't necessarily have to squeeze in with Brother Tie. That would be too much trouble!"

He shrugged, adopting an expression that suggested it was nothing serious, to enhance the persuasiveness of his words.

"Oh! So, Ye Ba, you knew of other places to rest besides inns! Why didn't you say so earlier? Tell me quickly, and maybe I won't have to share a room with Bu Suanzi."

Unexpectedly, before Bu Suantian could say anything, the black-robed girl standing to the side stood up with shining eyes and excitedly urged him on.

After all, if she could find a place to stay without bothering others, the girl in the black robe would prefer to do it herself.

"Um... Hei Sha, calm down first. The place I'm talking about is a bit special, it might not be suitable for you to go there..."

Xiao Yu's brow furrowed slightly at the agitated girl in black robes. He quickly reached out his hand, gesturing for her to sit down.

The commotion was so loud... they almost jumped off the table.

"Can't go? Why? Are women not allowed there?" The girl in black robes obediently sat down, but still relentlessly pressed for an answer.

"Ah... well... well, it's not quite like that... there are still many women... it's just..."

Xiao Yu stammered, unsure how to explain to the girl in black robes.

Meanwhile, Feng Ling, who used to be a man, quickly realized the place Xiao Yu had mentioned where they could spend the night.

For a moment, she clapped her hands, her eyes widened, and she looked at Xiao Yu in disbelief:

"Ye Ba...you're talking about...you wouldn't be referring to a place like that, would you? My god, I never expected you...to actually..."

Feng Ling admired his courage to say this in front of Bu Suantian. After all, Xiao Yu was probably the only person in history to openly say that he wanted to spend the night in a brothel in front of his own Daoist partner.

Although Feng Ling comes from a wealthy and powerful family and has plenty of resources, he is not short of spirit stones to visit brothels. However, due to his family's strong and upright family traditions and the strict supervision of his childhood sweetheart, who is now his fiancée, he is still reluctant to leave.

The term "brothel" was a forbidden place for her; she dared to say that anyone who dared to go in would not stay for even the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

If this news reached her father's ears, he probably wouldn't even let her in the door, and if her fiancée heard it, she'd probably break her legs.

Therefore... at this moment, she greatly admired Xiao Yu's courage and confidence in going to the brothel.

Feng Ling's seemingly random and incoherent words only fueled the black-robed girl's suspicions even further.

"Huh?! What are you talking about? Feng Ling, you know about that place too? What kind of place is that...?"

The girl in black robes turned her head left and right, asking questions back and forth.

Feng Ling remained silent, while the masked figure, wearing a ferocious mask and identified as a "man," was equally bewildered. She couldn't understand what the pretty woman and Ye Ba were talking about...

Could it be... a prison?

Having frequented this place, the idea quickly popped into her head; however, after thinking about it, she realized it was impossible.

It's unlikely. Once you're in jail, you won't be able to participate in the later secret realms.

Just as the black-robed girl and the masked figure were wondering what was going on, Bu Suantian raised his head.

Meow!

A soft meow rang out, and a pair of soft, crystal-blue eyes suddenly sharpened. She grabbed the chopsticks on the table beside her, and slammed them down on the table like a gavel, her aura fierce.

Like a county magistrate interrogating a prisoner in the audience, he began by asking:

"The place you're talking about... could it be that newly opened brothel we passed on the way here?!"

Chapter 104, The Brothel Has Its Own Rules

Get excited.

Xiao Yu's brow twitched again, and he couldn't help but rub his temples.

Wait... what's wrong with this little glutinous rice ball today?!

How could you guess that?

Given her experience, this shouldn't be the case!

Just as he was wondering, a single sentence from the fortune teller provided him with the answer:

"Hmph... I knew it. Luckily, I was on my guard early on and had Da Hua keep an eye on you. Da Hua said that when you passed by, you turned your head and glanced at that brothel at least four times. Oh... right, Feng Ling glanced at it three times..."

"..."

Feng Ling and Xiao Yu both stiffened at the same time.

Holy crap, what kind of top-of-the-line surveillance camera is this?!

Xiao Yu looked at the Three Flower Goddess squatting on the top of the divination sky and revealed a forced smile.

Very well... he's taken note of this, Da Hua, huh? You just wait.

To this, Lady Sanhua merely yawned lazily, dismissing Xiao Yu's grudge with disdain. Even when beating a cat, one should consider its owner!

Moreover, the reason it followed Bu Suantian out of the mountain this time was to protect her from being targeted by some people with ulterior motives. Bu Suantian is its master, so it is only natural to do what she asks; it is its duty.

Instead of helping their own master, they're helping Xiao Yu, an outsider, to deceive Bu Suantian?

dream……

With its two fluffy ears drooping down, the calico cat named Dahua lay on Bu Suantian's head, pretending to doze off for the time being.

Thanks to it, Xiao Yu suddenly felt the gazes of the people at the table becoming intensely intense.

"I never expected you, Ye Ba, to plan such a thing, and you even wanted to do it behind your partner's back. How pathetic! Bu Suanzi is too soft-hearted. If someone really did this behind my back, I would definitely turn him into a pool of blood with poisonous mist."

The girl in black robes crossed her arms and tugged at her clothes, her tone suggesting she was defending Bu Suantian.

“In my hometown, if someone were to visit a brothel while cheating on their partner, they would be thrown into jail.”

Even the usually aloof and taciturn masked figure gave Xiao Yu a complicated look and subtly reminded him.

"Ye Ba, you bastard, you pervert, all you ever think about is women... You can't even keep your head down when it's just a little time like this. Can't you just stay still?"

As always, the diviner issued a condemnation and expressed deep concern.

As for Feng Ling, she did not join in condemning Xiao Yu. Thanks to her current status, she escaped unscathed and did not receive the disdain of others.

A woman glanced at the brothel a few more times out of curiosity, but didn't find anything wrong with it.

For the first time, Feng Ling felt fortunate for her current situation. Looking at Xiao Yu, who was being condemned by the women, she could only show a helpless expression.

The sounds the girls made gave Xiao Yu a headache. He sighed, quickly waved his hand, and explained:

"You guys... calm down, calm down. Do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides, I'm just suggesting a possibility. Brothels aren't just for doing that kind of thing. You can actually just stay overnight and sleep there. In a sense, it's a special kind of inn, just that it costs more."

"Just sleeping? Ye Ba, you're not kidding me, are you? Aren't brothels just places to drink, eat, and flirt with shameless women? Is there really a place for you to sleep?"

Upon hearing this, Bu Suantian frowned, as she was not very familiar with the ins and outs of the brothel.

"Hmm...it is indeed as you said, young master. You can use a brothel as an inn and stay there for a few nights. However, brothels usually have their own special rules. If you want to stay overnight in a brothel, you must choose one of the girls inside..."

Suddenly, a soft voice took over the conversation and they started chatting naturally.

Upon hearing this, Bu Suantian ignored who had interrupted her and slammed her hand on the table, shouting, "No way! Xiao Yu, don't even think about... don't even think about spending the night at a brothel tonight."

Xiao Yu was speechless. It seemed that escaping to the brothel to avoid sharing a room with Tie Yanran was no longer an option.

However, after Bu Suantian told him that the place he wanted to go was a brothel, he didn't plan to go anymore.

Never mind those things for now; the brothel isn't important right now.

The person who answered was someone Xiao Yu didn't expect.

It should be noted that those present likely did not understand the specifics of what happened inside the brothel.

First of all, Bu Suantian has always stayed in the deep mountains. She was only forced to come out of the mountains recently because of her own calamity. She is a homebody and does not know much about the outside world, let alone a brothel.

Feng Ling didn't need to think too much; his family was strict, and he had a fiancée to keep him in check, so naturally he wouldn't know so much.

The masked figure was none other than Tie Yanran. Xiao Yu knew her inside and out. As the Jade-Faced Madwoman who upheld the island's morals, she would never go to a brothel and leave herself open to gossip. Besides, there weren't any brothels on Jumo Island...

So... it can only be someone else.

Xiao Yu turned his head and, sure enough, a face with an ordinary appearance but a gentle and graceful demeanor squeezed in.

The female cultivator had a smile on her pretty face, and her graceful figure was clad in a light-colored dress.

"Young master, we meet again! Excuse me, would you mind sharing a table?"

She walked up to him and said lightly.

"Um... okay, it should be okay, right? Black Fiend..."

Xiao Yu nodded in agreement subconsciously, but he quickly realized that he couldn't make the decision himself, since it was the girl in the black robe who was treating.
