Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

Zhang Qingmiao gave her a knowing look.

He even reached out and patted Ji Nanbei on the shoulder.

"Fellow Daoist Ji is truly a man of integrity!"

Ji Nanbei: ?

"What do you mean?"

"Fellow Daoist Ji will know once Jiang Chun arrives."

Zhang Qingmiao, unusually quiet, kept everyone in suspense.

Ji Nanbei was completely puzzled.

Jiang Chuncheng wasn't too far from where the two were.

When the two arrived, it was sunset and nightfall.

Lights gradually appeared in the city.

Jiangchun City is one of the top cities in Dongzhou.

However, unlike other cities, the city is not illuminated by lights that are powered by spiritual energy at night.

Instead, they were very old-fashioned lanterns and lamps, which looked antique.

From above, the city streets resemble a ribbon dotted with twinkling stars.

This was the most consistent with the ancient city scenery that Ji Nanbei had seen since his time travel.

"How is it? Pretty, right?"

Zhang Qingmiao pointed into the city, appearing very excited.

"It is indeed beautiful."

Ji Nanbei nodded.

The two landed and arrived at the city gate.

Seeing the two approaching and intending to enter the city, the guard spoke as usual:

"It takes five spirit stones to enter Jiangchun City."

Just as Zhang Qingmiao was about to say that she was a true disciple of the Daoist sect, Ji Nanbei pulled her back down.

Ji Nanbei took out ten spirit stones from his storage ring and handed them to the city gate guards.

The two then successfully entered Jiangchun City.

Zhang Qingmiao didn't pay any attention.

It's just some spirit stones; we can make up for it to Ji Nanbei later.

People came and went in the city.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, can you sense anything different about Jiang Chuncheng?"

Ji Nanbei was somewhat puzzled by the question.

"Is the scenery any better?"

Zhang Qingmiao clenched her right fist, making a hammer-like gesture.

"Indeed! Fellow Daoist Ji, Jiangchun City has a nurturing feng shui, making it the place that produces the most beautiful women. Moreover, the atmosphere is open, and the beauties of Jiangchun are the most endearing. Nowadays, the night in Jiangchun City is a sight to behold: Thousands of lights illuminate the night market, and red-sleeved beauties throng the high-rise buildings."

Ji Nanbei's face darkened.

So, this is what he meant when he said he was straightforward.

They thought he had come to Jiangchun City to seek pleasure!

"I'm not..."

"Hey, fellow Daoist, there's no need for that. Men, those who understand, understand. I can understand you!"

Ji Nanbei: ?

You don't understand anything.

Also, aren't you a woman?

Zhang Qingmiao's face was full of "I understand you," which made the mynah birds smile.

Ji Nanbei was furious when he saw this.

then…

"The beauty is right before our eyes, why bother coming all the way to Jiangchun City to look for her? Could it be that there is a woman in Jiangchun City more pitiful than Qingmiao?"

With just one sentence, Zhang Qingmiao's smile vanished.

Her face flushed red, Zhang Qingmiao took two steps back.

"I treated you like a brother, and you actually wanted to sleep with me?!"

This young Taoist priest, though eccentric and outspoken, is still quite young.

It's so funny.

Ji Nanbei couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Qingmiao immediately realized that she had been tricked.

"Well, Fellow Daoist Ji! You're actually making fun of me! Fellow Daoist Ji, don't forget, you also have a handsome appearance and considerable strength! It's hard to say who's eyeing whom!"

Zhang Qingmiao really dares to say anything.

More importantly, she was telling the truth!

Ji Nanbei, however, did not take it to heart.

"If that's what you mean, then I'll have to devise a plan to poison you and make you mute first."

Zhang Qingmiao is good in every way, it's just a pity she has a mouth.

The two bickered, but their relationship improved considerably.

Um, brotherhood!

"By the way, fellow Daoist, do you know exactly where the Misty Rain Pavilion in Jiangchun City is located?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingmiao looked at him with disdain.

"Just now, Fellow Daoist Ji was all righteous and aloof, saying he wasn't here in Jiangchun City to find beauties. Turns out he's found out so clearly, with a specific purpose, heading straight for the Misty Rain Pavilion, tsk tsk."

Ji Nanbei already had a bad feeling.

"May I ask, what exactly is this Misty Rain Pavilion?"

Zhang Qingmiao waved her hand.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, still playing dumb! The Misty Rain Pavilion! Both are in love, leaning on each other amidst the misty rain. Tell me, what kind of place is this Misty Rain Pavilion?"

Ji Nanbei is numb.

So, my senior sister tricked me into coming to Jiangchun City to buy rouge and face powder from that brothel!

Looking at Zhang Qingmiao's winking and smirking expression, Ji Nanbei felt a headache coming on.

"I have been asked to go to this Misty Rain Pavilion to buy rouge and face powder."

Zhang Qingmiao was stunned for a moment.

"Oh? Come to think of it, Yanyu Pavilion does indeed sell rouge. What, Fellow Daoist Ji already has a partner? Are you going to buy some as a gift for her?"

Ji Nanbei shook his head.

"That means... she's a woman who has feelings for you, and you want to pursue her?"

"My senior sister sent me here to buy it; I had no idea about Yanyu Pavilion before."

Zhang Qingmiao couldn't help but laugh.

Throughout the journey, Ji Nanbei remained calm and composed, always having a plan in mind. Zhang Qingmiao always felt that he was too mature for his age.

Hearing Ji Nanbei say this now is a huge contrast to my impression.

After laughing, Zhang Qingmiao patted Ji Nanbei on the shoulder.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, the rouge from the Misty Rain Pavilion isn't easy to buy. Even I can't help you with that. Good luck!"

After pointing Ji Nanbei in a direction, Zhang Qingmiao made her escape.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, I've gone to the inn to arrange my accommodations. I await your good news!"

Before the words were even finished, the person had already vanished in a flash.

Ji Nanbei now felt completely cheated.

Zhang Qingmiao ran away instead of going with us.

This Misty Rain Pavilion

With a sigh, Ji Nanbei walked in the direction Zhang Qingmiao pointed.

Well... I should at least go and take a look.

Walking along the streets of Jiangchun City, Ji Nanbei soon saw the sign for Yanyu Pavilion.

It was a tall building, not particularly eye-catching, but decorated in an antique style.

The main gate is spacious, and the plaque above reads: Misty Rain Pavilion.

As night fell, this place was bustling with activity.

Many people were walking inside, and two rather attractive women were greeting them at the entrance.

Having lived two lives, this was Ji Nanbei's first time entering a brothel.

Following the flow of people, Ji Nanbei walked into it.

Inside, there is a very spacious hall with a stage at the front and seats below.

It doesn't resemble a brothel; it's more like a theater or a teahouse.

Ji Nanbei found a corner and sat down.

A moment later, a waiter came running over.

"Oh, a new face, sir. Is this your first time at the Misty Rain Pavilion? Are you here just to listen to the music, or for a nighttime chat?"

Ji Nanbei had never been to such a brothel before.

However, they do possess basic common sense.

Pavilions like the Misty Rain Pavilion are clearly high-end establishments in the industry.

It's not about playing with flesh right from the start.

In the lobby, you can only listen to music, like attending a concert.

And the late-night talk…

It involves some content that cannot be broadcast.

In the middle of the night, I went upstairs to my room.

Afterwards, a pretty girl will come up and chat with you. If you have a good chat and you both like each other, it will be a beautiful story.

We can't have a good conversation...
