Chapter 65: Tai Shu Shi's Friend

  From outside Xijia City, Ning Cheng felt that this city was even inferior to Nan Yuan City. Whether it was the layout or anything else, it seemed a bit low-key.

  After entering Xijia City, the extremely spacious main street finally made Ning City feel a little bit better than Nan Yuan City.

  "Uncle, the streets of Xijia City are quite wide, but they don't seem very prosperous." Ning Cheng felt that the spacious streets on both sides had few shops, and without shops, people coming and going would naturally be in a hurry and wouldn't stay.

  Uncle Shi chuckled, "Ning brother, everyone who knows me calls me Shi Tou, you can call me Shi Tou too. The reason why there are so few people here is because the Cang Yan Four Star Academy has a rule that prohibits any shops from being set up on this road. This is because the end of this road leads directly to the Cang Yan Four Star Academy, and having shops around would affect the students' entry and exit."

  "Is this domineering?" Ning Cheng subconsciously replied, because the college had to pass through this road, so they would control this main street?

  "Brother Ning, be careful what you say. If the Flame Academy finds out, we'll all have our tongues cut out."

  Ning nodded, but in his heart he despised the Cang Yan Four Star Academy. He also smiled and said to Tai Shu Shi, "You don't have to call me Ning brother anymore, just call me by my name."

  "Alright." Tai Shu didn't hesitate either, pulling Ning Cheng from the wide main street to turn into another one. They only walked a dozen meters before entering yet another street. This street was even more bustling and prosperous, with shops and people coming and going everywhere.

  Tai Shu Shi brought Ning Cheng to a stop in front of a red building entrance.

  "What are you doing here, Stone?" Ning Cheng asked in puzzlement, looking at the red building with the words "Yi Shui Yuan" written on it. On either side of the building was a couplet that read: "Ask you how much sorrow, let your emotions stay and enjoy the water."

  This is obviously a place of romance, and the couplet means that as long as there is sorrow, one can enter Yishui Temple to stay. It's a place to relieve sorrow and release emotions. There are many such places in Canglang City, which are favorites among adventurers.

  Wait, Tai Shu Shi has arrived here, what does he want to do? This is the place where those adventurers go, Tai Shu Shi is a cultivator and also a Vandan Master, it's hard to find women, why go to Yi Shui Yuan?

  Seeing Ning Cheng's puzzled gaze, Tai Shu Shi knew that Ning Cheng had guessed his thoughts. Rarely showing a reserved expression, he said, "Ning Cheng, your guess is correct. There's a woman I like here, and every time I come back, I'll go look for her."

  Ning Cheng looked at Tai Shu in confusion and asked, "If you like her so much, why not just ransom her back and settle her somewhere? Why put the woman you like here?"

  "Ransom her back?" Tai Shu stared at Ning Cheng in surprise, "I'm a first-class Van Dan master, and I can only occasionally come here to see her. Where would I have the spirit stone to ransom Lian'er back?"

  This time Ning Cheng was stunned. He had never heard that going to a brothel required spirit stones, wasn't gold coins enough?

  Tai Shu Shi looked at Ning Cheng's puzzled expression and explained, "Yi Shui Yuan is a very mysterious establishment founded by its boss. The women here are all top-notch female cultivators. Moreover, some of them have cultivated charm techniques and are extremely charming. However, the price is also extremely high. These female cultivators who have cultivated charm techniques charge ten spirit stones for each guest they receive."

  "You spend ten spirit stones each time to watch that Lian'e?" Ning Cheng asked, somewhat disbelieving. Ten spirit stones were not a small amount in the lower realms.

  "Tai Shu Shi shook his head and said dejectedly, 'Lian'e is not a cultivator of the alluring arts, and the price is relatively cheap, two spirit stones each time. But my elixir refinement skills are very low, and it's not easy to see her even if I want to. If you want to redeem her, it's not just a matter of having spirit stones, you need to get the approval of the Yishui Institute first. Let's go in together, I still have some spirit stones on me, I'll help you pay.'"

  Ning Cheng patted Tai Shu Shi's shoulder, "You go in, I'll find a place to rest for a while. With this long gun on my back, it's not convenient to enter."

  He had been rushing about in the Great Ancestor Forest for several months, and even though he was a Jiedan-stage cultivator, he still felt exhausted.

  Uncle Shi was just about to speak when he saw a woman in a pink dress rush out of the Yishui Courtyard. The woman looked quite delicate and pretty, and as soon as she came out, she pulled Uncle Shi urgently and said, "Shitou, why did you come back so late? Go quickly to see Lian'e, her eyes are about to cry blind."

  Upon hearing Lian'e's words, Tai Shu Shi immediately asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

  Without waiting for the woman in pink to respond, he hastily rushed inside. In his haste, he seemed to have remembered Ning Cheng and hurriedly said to the woman in pink, "This is my friend Young Master Ning Cheng, please help take care of him, I'll come settle the bill later."

  Watching Tai Shu Shi enter Yi Shui Yuan, Ning Cheng had no choice but to stop his thoughts of leaving.

  "Cheng Shao, you're a first-timer at Yishuiyuan, right? Come with me, I'm sure you'll be satisfied." The elegant woman said to Ning Cheng in a gentle tone, while reaching out to pull on his sleeve.

  Ning Cheng furrowed his brow, he wasn't averse to women, but the way this woman in pink spoke to him in such a coquettish tone made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. The woman before him was also elegant and refined, even if she had used that urgent tone from earlier, it would have been more pleasant than this affected tone.

  "Take me to a cleaner room and bring me a pot of tea, I need to rest for a while." Ning Cheng decided to wait here for a while.

  He understood Tai Shu Shi's urgent mood, and when he first saw Tian Mu Yan leave without emotion, his mood was equally anxious. When the person you like suddenly has something happen to them, that kind of mood is definitely extremely worried.

  "My name is Liu Hanyu, but in the city, just call me Hanyu. The woman in a pink dress, with a hint of shyness, led Ning Cheng into a room on the second floor."

  Unexpectedly, there was a spiritual gathering array in the room, and the spiritual energy inside was much denser than outside. It seems that these two Spiritual Stone Flowers were not wasted after all.

  The light in the room is somewhat dim, and a large bed stands out. Next to the bed, there is a white jade tea table.

  Ning Cheng had just scanned the room when Liu Huanyu stepped forward, pressed close to Ning Cheng and called out in a low voice, "Young Master Ning, this is my room. I was originally resting today, but as soon as I saw Young Master Ning, my heart started racing..."

  Even if Ning Cheng knew that Liu Hanyu was just pretending, he couldn't help but feel a little moved by the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

  Liu Hanyu's heart was also slightly excited, she had been in Yishui Temple for over a year, what kind of person hadn't she seen? But with Ning Cheng, such a clean man, it was still her first time. His body, which had been cleansed by the Xuan Huang Ben Yuan technique, was extremely clean and refreshing. It was precisely this that allowed Liu Hanyu to see at a glance that Ning Cheng was still a virgin. A man like this, even if he made her pay several times over, she would be willing to accompany him.

  Liu Hanyu was extremely skilled in the art of seduction, she felt Ning Cheng's heart racing, and her own heart also had a kind of passion. Her hand seemed to unconsciously brush past Ning Cheng's chest.

  A sudden softness came over him, Ning Cheng's hand had only lifted halfway before he put it back down again. The lingering gun shadow on the wall behind him made his passion dissipate instantly, he wasn't here to have fun. Even if he wanted to find a woman, he couldn't lose his first time in this kind of place.

  He pushed Liu Hanyu away and walked over to sit down beside the jade table. "You sit down first, I have something to ask you."

  Liu Hanyu felt a surge of disappointment as Ning Cheng pushed her away, and she couldn't help but think that it was no wonder this man had remained untouched by women until now. His self-control was truly astonishing, especially considering she had just used her charms on him. She had been practicing her charms for some time now, and the first time she had tried to use them, they hadn't had any effect at all, leaving her extremely disheartened. This time, when she had used her charms again, she had no other purpose in mind except to offer herself to the man standing before her.

  Liu Hanyu was also extremely good at controlling her emotions, and she quickly composed herself. She picked up a teapot from under the tea table, poured Ning Cheng a cup of tea, and sat down beside him. In a soft voice, she said, "Young Master Ning, please feel free to instruct me."

  Compared to her previous coquettish words, Ning Cheng felt that Liu Huanyu's speech was much more natural now. He picked up his tea and took a sip, the refreshing taste invigorating his senses, this must be some kind of spiritual tea.

  "Thank you." Ning Cheng knew that Liu Hanyu was very kind to him, and after thanking him, he asked, "Is Lian'e the girlfriend of Shi Tou? What happened to her that made Shi Tou so panicked?"
