The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 173 Auction 5

Because they were brought to Green Fragrance by Liu Di, the people in the pavilion didn't pay them much attention. After all, these playboys would often bring a group of people to have fun. Regular customers would bring in new customers, and that's how Green Fragrance grew.

As expected yet unexpected, the entire Green Fragrance area was decorated with remarkable elegance and tranquility. In the center was a pool of naturally introduced living water, paved with precious gemstones. At the very center was a white jade platform, upon which a stunningly beautiful woman was playing music.

The other party was clearly quite accomplished in music, and the entire Green Friends Pavilion looked perfectly normal, just an ordinary Qingshui Music Pavilion.

But just by observing the way the guests in the audience looked at the beautiful woman, you'd know that this was anything but simple!

That wasn't the look of someone who appreciates music and entertainment.

Instead, it's the look in the eyes when examining a product, carefully assessing its value, devoid of human warmth, only a scrutiny of material possessions and desires.

Liu Di had obviously been here many times. As soon as he entered, the proprietress of Green Friends Fragrance greeted him: "Young Master Liu, why are you here so early today? The bidding hasn't even started yet! But it's good that you're here early. Today, our Yueya'er is getting married. Isn't Yueya'er your favorite? It's good to have her serve you tonight."

At this point, the proprietress covered her mouth and chuckled, then realized who Nan Xingze and his group were beside the other party. Her tone was hesitant and her eyes were wary: "Young Master Liu, who are these gentlemen?"

"They are all my newly made good brothers." As he said this, Liu Di's tone remained calm, but a chill ran down his spine. He didn't even know what he was saying. He actually called the proud sons of Guiyuan Sect his brothers. He was simply insane!

But under the warning and threatening gazes of these prodigies behind him, Liu Di barely managed to maintain his composure and keep up his acting skills: "Isn't Green Fragrance a good place?" As he spoke, he winked and grinned lewdly: "These brothers of mine have never seen the world before, so I specially brought them to see what their expenses are tonight. I, Young Master Liu, will cover them all!"

He patted his chest as he spoke, displaying an arrogant and spoiled demeanor, seemingly no different from his usual self.

The proprietress covered her lips slightly and chuckled twice: "Young Master Liu is very generous. Thank you for bringing customers to my Green Fragrance Restaurant. Is it the same private room?"

"Same as always!" Liu Di said with a slight lift in his voice.

"Alright, we'll do as Young Master Liu says." The proprietress called out to the servant beside her, "One person in the No. 7 private room, and have Xiao Xiang and Xiao Hong come over to serve Young Master Liu."

Despite saying that, the other party's gaze kept roaming over the group.

Feeling the scrutinizing gazes of the other party, the group exchanged glances, and finally all eyes turned to Qin Che.

Qin Che's eyes widened involuntarily as he looked at his senior and junior brothers. "Me?"

Nan Xingze sensed the other party's doubt, but his gaze remained firm. Otherwise, should he and An Qi go? An Qi, that naive guy, would expose his true colors in no time.

As for his junior brother, does he intend to corrupt the children?

As for him, shouldn't the junior brother serve his senior brother?

Fortunately, the others thought so too, and Qin Che seemed to be the most suitable candidate, given his suave and unreliable appearance.

Qin Che, Qin Che was furious and impotent, gritting his teeth. It seemed that in the end he had no choice but to take the fall. His innocence, waaaah!

They seemed to have discussed a lot of things, but in reality, it only took a moment for them to exchange glances.

The proprietress did not notice the conversation between the group.

"That's too stingy! Two isn't enough! Give us four each, anyway, Young Master Liu is paying!" Qin Che shouted. "And the best dishes and the best wine, give us a set of everything! By the way, who was that playing the zither just now? Young Master Liu is rich, come join us!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent. Not only Nan Xingze and his group, but Liu Di almost cried out in distress. This place was engaged in business that was strictly prohibited in the cultivation world. Even picking up a girl was quite expensive. Four girls per person would be enough to empty his family's coffers.

The proprietress hadn't expected the other party to have such a big appetite, four for each person. To be honest, she had never seen such a scene before. The girls here were not cheap for an hour, and the spirit stones each person paid for four per hour were countless!

Seeing the proprietress's hesitant expression, Qin Che said arrogantly, "If even this isn't good enough, then my brother here is just too naive. He thinks everything is great!"

Upon hearing this, the proprietress smiled obsequiously: "Look at what you're saying, of course we have it! Our place is known as Green Fragrance, even better than Heaven and Earth. But you should know the rules here, Young Master Liu, right? We need to verify your funds first!"

After all, if the girl spends time with the guy for free, and he says he has no money, wouldn't that be a losing proposition?

The kind of business they're doing, are they really going to report them to the city lord's mansion and hold them accountable?

"How could I not know the rules of this building?" Liu Di said, his heart bleeding. With these menacing figures behind him, he dared not refuse.

"Xiao Song, take Young Master Liu downstairs to verify his funds. As for the rest of you, please follow me!" The proprietress waved her hand. A servant led Young Master Liu downstairs to verify his funds.

"Please follow me, gentlemen!" Liu was led away, and the proprietress personally led the way for them.

The group followed her away, but their eyes kept lingering on the Green Fragrance building. They were secretly on guard, thinking that anyone who could run such a place in the city must be quite powerful.

They might be secretly monitoring their every move. This is an undercover investigation, so they absolutely cannot reveal any flaws.

They pretended to be perfectly normal, but were secretly on guard as they followed the woman in front of them.

"Guests, this is room number seven in the Heavenly section. You can wait for Young Master Liu here." As he spoke, the other party opened the door, and an enticing sweet fragrance wafted out. Red curtains, dragon bed, phoenix quilt, and red candles—just looking at it evoked endless enchantment.

The room had clearly been designed to mimic space, with an enormous bed. Seeing the bewildered look on their faces, the landlady gave a teasing smile: "The beds here are huge, enough to fit as many people as you want. Of course, if any of you guests mind, would you like to book a few more private rooms?"

Nan Xingze and the others were stunned. Except for Gong Yu, the others looked calm, but their ears were all red.

Seeing their reactions, the proprietress's smile deepened. The group followed her into the private room, and as soon as they were all inside, she turned away with a smile and closed the door.

Click!

The atmosphere inside the private room changed the moment the door closed. Nan Xingze and his companions secretly gripped their weapons, watching the proprietress walking towards them warily. The atmosphere became tense, as if a fight was about to break out at any moment!

"I remember you, so I know I haven't mistaken you for someone else. Please, everyone, have a seat!" With these ambiguous words, the proprietress sat on the middle mahogany chair and gestured to the group.

But seeing that the proprietress hadn't moved, the group remained on high alert.

"Do you have a soundproof barrier? I know what you're here for. Maybe we can cooperate." The proprietress seemed oblivious to the danger and tension inside the private room.

Nan Xingze looked at the proprietress, and the two met eyes and exchanged glances, as if they were confirming and weighing something. After a while, Nan Xingze sat down opposite her.

For some reason, he felt his mouth was dry, but a thick protective shield rose in the room: "Speak, even a Mahayana cultivator can't hear you like that."

Wen Sishu reached out and touched his shoulder. A cool sensation emanated from his hand, and the next moment he felt a refreshing coolness all over his body, and the restlessness disappeared without a trace.

Gongcheng also reached out and held his younger brother's hand and Qin Che's senior brother's hand. The cool breath dispelled the evil fire that had inexplicably risen in their hearts.

Noticing their movements, the proprietress across from them maintained her smiling expression and frankly revealed the secret of the room: "The incense burner in the room has aphrodisiac fragrance. Yes, you men are special forces."

"What exactly do you want?" Everyone present had already realized what was going on. After all, there were two alchemists hidden in their sleeves. As soon as Cheng Jiu entered the room, he smelled the faint, alluring fragrance and concocted an antidote to counteract it, which is why he was able to detoxify so quickly.

"Didn't I say? Cooperation!" The proprietress looked at the group and said sincerely, "I know you are disciples of the Guiyuan Sect. You might even have met me when you were a child! My name is Song Yuan."

In fact, her appearance has not changed over the years. She remembered Wen Sishu as soon as she was mentioned. Compared to her youthful face back then, she is now more beautiful, like a brightly blooming flower. Even in a place like Lvyouxiang where there are many beautiful women, she is not inferior at all.

“Okay, Miss Song!” Nan Xingze nodded to her. “What do you want to tell us? What are your requests?”

“Chatting with smart people is so effortless! I know why you’re here. Green Fragrance and Qingyun Auction are both backed by Long Tian, ​​I’m sure you all know that.” Song Yuan said, “I can tell you information, and I can even get you into the secret auction. As for my requirements!”

Song Yuansheng showed her fair wrist, and a faint black line was so conspicuous in the middle of her pink and white wrist: "I know that your five major sects must have the means to cleanse the spirit. As long as you wash away my identity as a demon cultivator, restore my former Golden Core stage cultivation, and give me a sum of money afterwards, send me to the Western Regions."

Nan Xingze looked at her and said, "You are the Gu cultivator hiding in Qingli City!" His tone was certain and carried a hint of murderous intent.

“Yes! Those corpse worms were cultivated and implanted by me. I know the location of all the corpse worms in the city. If you want to know, I can give it to you.” Song Yuan did not deny it. When cooperating with these chosen ones, the most taboo thing is to deceive them. It is impossible to turn against them, because they would disdain it.

She has already decided to cooperate with these people, and she will certainly be open and honest with them to increase her leverage and achieve her goals.

"You seem to be Long Tian's legal wife. People in the city say that Long Tian dotes on you. Under these circumstances, why should we believe you?" Qin Che asked.

Knowing that one of the possible suspects behind the scenes was Long Tian, ​​the group had inquired about Long Tian's information from Liu Di along the way. Although some of the information might not be trustworthy, given Long Tian's personality and the harmonious relationship between his wife and concubines, he would not hide such matters from the outside world, making it highly credible.

Upon hearing this, Song Yuan's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "Him? Pampered? Ha! He's no different from my father, a stud pig, both of them should be castrated. I feel disgusted just being around him!"

Seeing that the other person was disgusting and not faking it, the people present trusted him a little more.

"Your request can be granted by the Guiyuan Sect, and I can guarantee it in my name as well, but it depends on the value of your information!" Nan Xingze said solemnly to Song Yuan.

Song Yuan nodded, finding it quite reasonable. She then began to explain why she had stayed by Long Tian's side all these years.

Those present were secretly excited; there was some juicy gossip going on.

Just as Cheng Jiu had guessed back then, Song Yuan only wanted to use Long Tian to make a quick buck so he could leave this place and live a carefree life.

The other party treated her as a substitute, and she treated him as a rich man in return. Because of her father, Song Yuan found any man disgusting, let alone a lecherous man like Long Tian. She had no romantic feelings for him and would gladly kill him with her own hands if possible.

But why hasn't she left all these years?

Those present heard her voice the question that had been on their minds.

Song Yuan's expression was strange and sarcastic: "Men are all the same, disgusting!" Then, considering that everyone present was a male disciple and a future partner, Song Yuan quickly added: "You are different."

Without even glancing at the expressions on the faces of the others, he continued, "Originally, I just wanted to make one last quick buck and leave, but I didn't expect that guy's luck to be so strange."

When they were carrying out the plan to leave, they ended up entering a strange space together, a place rich in resources.

More importantly, this space is the inheritance space of a powerful being, and the other party is a demonic cultivator, specifically a Gu cultivator. The Corpse Gu worms were brought out from the other party's tomb.

At this point, Song Yuan's face was a mixture of crying and laughing. The other person's soul didn't have much time left, and he was kindred spirits with that Long Tian.

The Corpse Gu Worm has a backlash power, so that guy couldn't bear to let Long Tian accept his Gu cultivation inheritance, but Long Tian didn't want to give up the useful skill of Gu cultivation, especially the Corpse Gu Worm.

So he forcibly passed on the Gu cultivation inheritance to her, and even claimed that she had Western Region blood in her body, and that there had been Gu cultivators among her ancestors. He said that passing on the Gu cultivation bloodline to her would not diminish her prestige.

So she was forcibly transformed into a demonic cultivator!

The thought of the tearing sensation of demonic energy entering the body made Song Yuan tremble involuntarily.

It was truly terrifying; even now, Song Yuan feels a chill run down her spine just thinking about it!

"Heh, it's because that Gu cultivator was a man that I was chosen. I'm not a Gu cultivator, I'm a Gu person! Someone who specializes in cultivating Gu worms!" Song Yuan's voice was hoarse, filled with hatred. Everyone present believed that if Long Tian and that Gu cultivator were in front of him, Song Yuan would definitely drink their blood and eat their flesh.

Although her heart was filled with hatred, Song Yuan dared not break ties with Long Tian until she obtained a way to counter the corpse-controlling Gu worms. This was also the method that the Gu cultivator used to help Long Tian control her.

Fortunately, Song Yuan was a very good actress and also knew how to cherish her life. Fortunately, Long Tian did not discover her previous escape plan. So she pretended to be deeply in love with him and stayed by his side. She even took the initiative to help him take a concubine.

Long Tian also deeply loved her because of this, and believed it without a doubt, even to this day.

She thus gained a lot of information about Long Tian, ​​all in order to deliver a fatal blow and avenge the blood feud in her heart.
