The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

“Okay.” Jin Bingyun looked at him and agreed.

After a long while, the city gates of Huangzhou Prefecture were finally opened by the guards amidst a creaking sound. With the road clear, Xing San, the coachman, once again pushed the reins and, accompanied by the guards, drove the vehicle into Huangzhou Prefecture, finally stopping in front of a decent-sized inn.

Then, Ishihara Akira and the others got off the car, checked in, and rested in their rooms.

However, Ishihara Chang did not immediately help Jin Bingyun begin her cultivation. Instead, he waited a while, ate the breakfast that the inn had brought as instructed, and then took a bath and washed up. Only then did Ishihara Chang lay down on the bed with Jin Bingyun, turn to his side and hug her, pressing his forehead against hers. He then activated his ability, taking Jin Bingyun's consciousness out of her body and heading to the chaotic void he had specially created for her...

"The essence of your Cihang Jingzhai's sword cultivation lies in comprehending nothingness, or emptiness. Your inability to comprehend it isn't due to a lack of aptitude, but rather because your mind is disturbed. You can no longer cultivate as freely as you did on the mountain, undisturbed by worldly affairs. Therefore, the method I've prepared for you is simple: since you cannot comprehend what nothingness is, I will guide you to confront nothingness directly, to directly experience the existence of 'emptiness'! So, you should understand what to do next, right?" Ishihara Akira, who had concealed himself within the void, leaving Jin Bingyun alone to face the inconceivable, imperceptible, intangible, and unfeeling void, spoke telepathically in Jin Bingyun's mind.

"Alright, now it's up to you. I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, Ishihara Akira's voice disappeared completely, leaving Jin Bingyun alone in the void that could drive an ordinary person mad.

Chapter 386 Little Flower Stream

Before we knew it, it was afternoon.

Jin Bingyun, who had been keeping her eyes closed like a vegetable, also had her eyelids twitch at this moment, breaking free from the illusion created by Ishihara Sho.

"How are you?" Ishihara Akira asked with a smile, noticing Jin Bingyun's condition.

"I'm not sure. It feels like I succeeded, but it also feels like I didn't." Jin Bingyun remained lying down, her eyes meeting Ishihara Akira's gaze, and answered calmly.

“I understand. But it’s alright. If you don’t succeed the first time, try again; if you don’t succeed the second time, try a third time. Anyway, you’ll be by my side from now on, so there’s plenty of time and opportunity to try. You’ll master it eventually. Besides, you’re just unsure of your current state because you’re not sure. Once you’ve practiced it again and felt it through, you might find that you’ve succeeded.” Ishihara Akira spoke patiently and gently to the woman in his world.

"I understand," Jin Bingyun replied after glancing at him.

"Then you should get some rest," Ishihara Akira said again.

Upon hearing this, Jin Bingyun didn't say anything more and closed her eyes to rest.

The same goes for Ishihara camphor.

Even though he had slept all day?

However, they wouldn't mind saving up some more energy for the evening's activities.

……

"Let's go to Xiaohuaxi." Shi Yuanzhang, who led Jin Bingyun and two maids onto the carriage, gave the order to Xing Laosan, who was still in charge of driving the carriage, and several selected guards.

"Alright!" Xing Laosan, who had by this time understood his identity and begun to accept his fate, shouted enthusiastically.

With a flick of the reins, the carriage slowly moved forward, pulled by the horses.

Xiaohuaxi is the name of a brothel in Huangzhou Prefecture. In terms of scale, it is not very large, at least not as large as Jinhuanlou. However, its reputation is unparalleled in the entire Huangzhou Prefecture and even in the seven surrounding provinces.

The reason is simple: Xiaohuaxi has a courtesan whose beauty and talent surpass those of the surrounding seven provinces—Lian Xiuxiu.

That's right, it's the target that Ishihara Akira came to Huangzhou Prefecture for, Lian Xiuxiu, who is known as one of the ten most famous beauties in the whole book.

She is also considered the most talented woman in the world after Ji Xixi, the wife of Lang Fanyun.

Therefore, the bustling atmosphere of Xiaohuaxi was to be expected. As soon as you enter the street where Xiaohuaxi is located, you will see luxurious carriages and richly dressed young men and wealthy merchants everywhere. Not to mention the entrance of Xiaohuaxi, where there is a constant flow of people and a lively atmosphere.

It cannot be fully summarized by simply being lively.

"Young master, young lady, we've arrived at Xiaohuaxi." Xing Laosan, who had parked the carriage at the entrance of Xiaohuaxi, said respectfully.

Then, the carriage curtain opened, and Ishihara Akira and Jin Bingyun stepped out of the carriage one after the other. Without lingering, they walked straight into the bustling Xiaohuaxi.

Taking women and maids to brothels is a unique act in history, perhaps unparalleled.

This blatant act is unique.

Then, the originally bustling noise in Xiaohuaxi gradually subsided, like a sound wave fading away. One by one, the guests stared in disbelief, their eyes filled with envy and amazement as they looked at Shi Yuanzhang and Jin Bingyun who walked in from the doorway.

"As expected, Bingyun, your charm is unparalleled." Ishihara Akira, taking in the scene before him, chuckled softly in Jin Bingyun's ear.

谷堙

Jin Bingyun's expression remained unchanged, like an ice queen, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Then, a woman dressed in flamboyant clothes and with a pretty face walked over with a swaying gait, and greeted Ishihara Akira with a friendly expression: "Oh, young master, you've come, but why did you bring your family along? Are you trying to ruin our Little Flower Creek's business?"

Of course, that's what they said, but there was no threat in their tone. Instead, it sounded like a sympathetic complaint, so it didn't make anyone feel angry.

"Does Xiuxiu have any customers right now?" Shi Yuanzhang asked with a smile, addressing the middle-aged woman who looked like a madam.

"Young master, you've come at an inopportune time. Xiuxiu has other guests at the moment, so..." The madam said with a troubled expression.

"Which room is Xiuxiu's?" Ishihara Akira asked directly, not bothering with pleasantries with the madam.

“This…” the madam continued to hesitate.

But Ishihara Akira had no intention of wasting words with the madam. He immediately unleashed his spiritual power, scanning the entire Little Flower Creek, searching for the whereabouts of his target, Lian Xiuxiu, room by room.

Moreover, she is easy to find. Since she is known as the most beautiful woman in the surrounding seven provinces, her appearance is naturally extraordinary. While she may not be better than Jin Bingyun, she is certainly not far behind.

So soon, Ishihara Akira met a woman who resembled Rei Shu-shu in a uniquely decorated room.

Without hesitation, he pushed aside the madam in front of him and, with Jin Bingyun and the maid beside him, strode towards the room where Lian Xiuxiu was.

"Hey, sir, you can't do this..." the madam shouted as she tried to stop him.

Before he could even get close, he was blocked by a maid who originally belonged to Jin Bingyun, allowing Shi Yuanzhang to walk up the stairs without any hindrance and head towards Lian Xiuxiu's room.

However, this also attracted the attention of other guests in Xiaohuaxi, who stopped what they were doing and looked at Ishihara Sho with amusement.

"This kid's going to get what's coming to him soon," the guests around, who knew about Xiaohuaxi's background, muttered with a hint of schadenfreude.

……

"Snapped!"

Ishihara Sho pushed open the wooden door and entered the room where Rei Shu-shu was.

Wow, quite a few people. Besides Lian Xiuxiu, whom Ishihara Sho was looking for, there were five unfamiliar men with different appearances but all quite muscular builds. Before Ishihara Sho could speak, they all turned around abruptly and stared at Ishihara Sho, who had suddenly barged in, with fierce eyes.

"Who goes there! Don't you know that Miss Xiuxiu has been booked by Sha Qianli today?!" A thin, long-faced man with a fierce and gloomy appearance questioned him with murderous intent in his eyes.

But as soon as he finished speaking, his and everyone else's expressions changed again, as if they had been subjected to a mental shock, and they all froze in place.

It wasn't because of Ishihara Akira's attack with the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique, but rather because they were captivated by Jin Bingyun's appearance, which made them forget the occasion and the situation.

Even Lian Xiuxiu, who was standing to the side, showed a look of amazement.

"Sha Qianli, what is that? Bingyun, do you know it?" Shi Yuanzhang sneered and turned to ask Jin Bingyun beside him.

After all, although he was familiar with the plot, he only knew the general outline. He didn't know much about the details, such as which characters appeared in the book and their relationships.

There was nothing he could do. He had only skimmed through the book when he first read it, and it had been over ten years since he was reincarnated here. Even though his memory had become extremely strong due to the dream world, allowing him to recall the contents of the book he had read, he couldn't find much of value in it because he had read it so casually back then.

Therefore, Jin Bingyun really doesn't know as much about this guy who dares to give his name as she does.

Chapter 387 Untitled

"Never heard of it," Jin Bingyun said calmly, shaking her head slightly.

"So that's just some nobody? Then go and get rid of him. It's a good opportunity to see if your previous understanding was correct or not." Ishihara Sho sighed with disappointment and said to Jin Bingyun beside him.

"How dare you! I'd like to see how you plan to get rid of us." Upon hearing this, the thin-faced man who spoke first immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his voice filled with murderous intent.

"Gentlemen, could you please put an end to this conflict for the sake of this young lady?" At this moment, Lian Xiuxiu, the hostess of this place who had been ignored all along, couldn't help but speak up to persuade them.

"I would like to give Miss Xiuxiu that face, but unfortunately, these people in front of me don't seem to have the same idea." Ishihara Akira glanced at the stunningly beautiful Lian Xiuxiu and looked at Sha Qianli and the others with a half-smile, provoking them.

“Young Master Sha?” Lian Xiuxiu turned her head and looked at him with a slightly pitiful expression.

"For Miss Xiuxiu's sake, as long as you kneel down and apologize to me, I, this young master, will mercifully forgive you and not pursue your crime of bringing people to disturb our gathering. Otherwise... hmph." Sha Qianli ultimately wanted to make Lian Xiuxiu his woman, so he really gave her face and said to Shi Yuanzhang with a cold smile.

However, the content of these words was no different from a direct provocation.

"Kill him." Ishihara Akira's smile faded, and he turned to Jin Bingyun beside him and gave her instructions.

Jin Bingyun glanced at him, said nothing, drew her sword, took a step forward, and thrust it at Sha Qianli.

"Brother Sha, be careful!" Upon seeing this, the expressions of the people nearby changed drastically. One of them shouted and immediately picked up the weapon beside him, narrowly blocking Jin Bingyun's attack at the critical moment.

However, Sha Qianli, the person involved, was still startled and plopped down in his chair, losing face.

"Damn it!" Sha Qianli exclaimed angrily, belatedly realizing what had happened.

Jin Bingyun ignored him, and with a sweep of her longsword, the man who was helping Sha Qianli with his weapon had to step aside, weapon in hand.

The reason is simple: if he insists, his head and hands will be cut off.

At the same time, the man on the other side took the opportunity to strike Jin Bingyun in the chest.

Jin Bingyun kicked the latter's wrist, deflecting his attack. She then immediately spun around in mid-air and thrust her sword at the other young man wielding an umbrella-shaped weapon.

At this point, apart from the man who looked to be in his fifties, everyone in the room had joined the attack on Jin Bingyun.

"when!"

The young man felt a jolt in his arm, and a powerful force traveled from the point where the sword and umbrella met to his body, causing him to involuntarily stumble backward, leaving several deep, cracked craters on the hard floor of the attic.

Jin Bingyun turned around, slapped away the weapon that the man next to her was wielding with her palm, and then charged towards the man whose weapon had been knocked aside.

The man hurriedly retreated, entrusting his safety to the thin-faced Sha Qianli and another man who had intervened.

谷娱

Seeing this, Jin Bingyun remained calm and composed, her face expressionless. With a nimble twist of her wrist, she easily deflected the attacks from Sha Qianli and the other man. Then, with a quick counterattack, one of the men was forced to retreat, clutching his own wrist.

Clearly, he was hurt by Jin Bingyun.

Then, Jin Bingyun continued to advance, focusing her attack on Sha Qianli. But it seemed that his identity was rather special? Just as she made this move, the young man with the umbrella and the man with the short halberd hurriedly stepped forward to intercept Jin Bingyun's attack.

Jin Bingyun responded calmly. In just a few moves, the short halberd collided with the young man's umbrella under the guidance of her sword technique. Both of them were pushed back by the force of the other, exposing Sha Qianli to Jin Bingyun's sight again.

Then Jin Bingyun stepped forward, casually knocking the longsword out of Sha Qianli's hand, and the tip of the sword pierced straight towards Sha Qianli's throat...

"Spare his life!" a man in his fifties shouted immediately upon seeing the situation.

Upon hearing this, Jin Bingyun paused her attack, glancing at her opponent out of the corner of her eye. However, the tip of her sword was still embedded in Sha Qianli's throat, forcing Sha Qianli to stand there obediently, lest he misunderstand and actually stab her.

"Does Your Excellency know who these people are?" The man stood up shakily and asked in a deep voice, looking at Ishihara Akira, who had remained at the door.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know," Ishihara Akira chuckled.
