Chapter 80 - Riverside Night a.s.sault
He was like a wild boar that had run out of a pigsty and returned to nature. In an instant, he was completely alive, having the old procuress find him four beautiful girls, hugging him from left to right as he rushed upstairs.
From start to finish, the Brothel Keeper"s gaze had been focused on Xiang Yun. Other than her, all the gazes of the ladies upstairs had also landed on Xiang Yun!
"Your Highness, you"ve finally decided to come to our Phoenix Pavilion. Since the last time we parted, you haven"t been here for over a month. The ladies in our pavilion have lost a lot of weight just thinking about you!"The middle-aged and charming bawd looked at Xiang Yun with a fiery gaze. As she spoke, she reached out and gently stroked her chest, causing Xiang Yun"s heart to palpitate uncontrollably.
At this moment, a slender, round, and beautiful young lady was coquettishly rebuking Xiang Yun, "Your Highness, you haven"t come to see Lan"er for the past month. The people Lan"er has been thinking of have become haggard and skinnier."
After saying that, the woman pointed at her papaya like b.r.e.a.s.t.s that nearly burst her clothes as she said, "Look at this, it"s a lot smaller!""Gulp!" Xiang Yun fiercely swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes a little dazed as he thought to himself, This is considered small, there probably isn"t any more big.
When the other women saw Xiang Yun staring at this round-faced woman, they were instantly displeased as well. They all began flirting coquettishly with Xiang Yun.
All the girls had either lightly lifted their skirts or pulled their clothes, casting flirtatious glances, pouting their lips, and secretly sending off countless numbers! It could be said that the Eight Immortals had made their way across the ocean!Seeing that Xiang Yun had not said a word, the old procuress smiled flirtatiously, saying, "Your Highness, your eyes have been fixed. Seeing that Xiang Yun had not said a word, the old procuress smiled flirtatiously, saying," Your Highness, your eyes have been fixed.
Hearing the old procuress"s words, Xiang Yun couldn"t help but take a deep breath, calming the agitation in his chest a little. Only then did he manage to open his mouth with great difficulty, "Madam, where is that washroom? My stomach isn"t feeling well!"
"Uh …" No one had expected Xiang Yun to say such a thing after holding back for so long. The old procuress did not dare to make fun of him and immediately led him to the latrine at the back of the pavilion!
Entering the latrine, Xiang Yun could not help but exhale a breath of hot air, thinking to himself, This ancient brothel ladies are simply much more pa.s.sionate than the young misses of my previous life.
There was really no need to be so professional. Xiang Yun had almost had the impulse to find a few ladies to go up to the pavilion and sleep.Fortunately, Xiang Yun still had some self-control. Coupled with the clear feeling that came from within his dantian just now, it had allowed his restlessness to ease up slightly. Only then did he have the willpower to find an excuse to flee to the toilet.
Xiang Yun had thought that he would be able to calm down once he arrived at the latrine. Who would have thought that just as he entered one of the latrines, the wooden board next door would suddenly shake, followed by the irrepressible cries of a woman, as well as the heavy breathing of a man!
"d.a.m.n, the toilet is shaking!"
Xiang Yun almost fell down. He had not expected the ancient people to be so open-minded!
Xiang Yun no longer hesitated, stretching his head out to look, only to see a square s.p.a.ce above the latrine. It was originally meant for breathing, but Xiang Yun pushed off with both feet, turning into a cat and scampering away.
As his feet landed on the ground, Xiang Yun directly appeared outside the walls of the Phoenix Pavilion"s backyard. Turning his head to look at the interior of the pavilion, he could not help but pat his little heart through the pink light of the screen. He thought to himself, It"s best to avoid coming to this sort of place in the future.
The moment Xiang Yun landed on the ground, he quietly circulated his Turtle Resting Technique within his body. The latter"s aura was immediately concealed!
In the next moment, Xiang Yun"s feet tapped the ground at lightning speed, immediately scurrying off in the direction of the back courtyard"s alleyway. No one had noticed his figure.
At this moment, on the rooftop of a six-storey tall building in the Mighty Phoenix Pavilion, a slightly plump man dressed in black stood there, pointing towards the bright moon. In his hand was a fragrant roasted chicken, and beside him was a bottle of steaming hot liquor.
Suddenly! The man"s expression changed as the roasted chicken in his hand fell to the ground."Where is His Highness" aura? How can it suddenly disappear!"
The man suddenly stood up. Facing the sky in front of him, he didn"t hesitate at all. He jumped down, like a goose falling into the sky, and gently tapped on the roof of the next floor!
With one leap, the eaves of the building opened up again. The speed of the eaves was as fast as a black shadow!
A moment later, at the latrine in the backyard of the Tender Phoenix Pavilion, the black-clothed man had already searched every room in the pavilion. His expression was extremely unsightly, because he discovered that he had lost the Crown Prince!He had been ordered by the prince to protect Xiang Yun closely, and now he had even lost him. If Xiang Yun had any other matters to deal with, how would he be able to do so? He was still hoping to return to the Snow Wolf camp as soon as possible!
Feeling anxious, the man in black did not dare to hesitate. The crown prince had gone missing, so he immediately dashed out of the hospital with the intention of returning to the residence to search for someone, preparing to search the entire Qin Feng City!
Meanwhile, in an alleyway at the corner of the northern city, Xiang Yun was already circling around some alleys in the northern city.Only now did Xiang Yun finally feel that there was no longer the feeling of being watched from the shadows around him. He let out a long breath and released his Turtle Resting Technique, his aura circulating normally.
Walking out of the narrow alleyway, Xiang Yun did not approach the bustling area of West City. Instead, he strolled along the banks of the Willow River near the edge of the city walls by himself, under the bright moonlight.
This was the first time since Xiang Yun had transmigrated to this world that he had truly been by himself. Looking at the familiar moonlight, the willow trees floating in the breeze by the sh.o.r.e and the clear flowing river, Xiang Yun felt like he was in a dream!Once upon a time, he also strolled along the river on his university campus, looking at the bright moon in the sky and stepping on the gra.s.s beneath his feet. He thought about what he should eat tomorrow morning and how he should peek at Jin Yong"s novel in the cla.s.sroom of policy and circ.u.mstances, and wondered if he could see the pure side face of the cla.s.s flower Han Yutong tomorrow.
All of their plans were the most carefree and trivial matters in the lives of university students.However, the current him had traveled alone to this mystical world of the Seven Stars Continent, and had muddleheadedly become the son of a powerful va.s.sal lord. Xiang Yun had no choice but to plan for his new life!
Today"s gambling had made Xiang Yun feel a little uneasy.
Although he had been discussing with Fatty Niu about someone coming to deal with the two of them, Xiang Yun had sensed it faintly.The target of the other party might be him, or he might even be the target of Fatty Niu"s attacks! … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
"Who was it that was after me?"Xiang Yun was a little doubtful in his heart. It was not that he could not figure out who he had offended, but rather that he had offended too many people. He truly did not know who had come to take revenge on him.
Back in Dragon City, it seemed like Xiang Yun had taken revenge for the mockery of those years ago on the Heavenly Platform. It could be said that Xiang Yun had caused a ruckus within Dragon City.The granddaughter who had disturbed the Orthodox Academy, burned the justice courts, hara.s.sed the Minister of Rites, crippled the Minister of War"s youngest son, and also peeked on the concubine of the Grand Preceptor, w.a.n.g Chonghuan, for a bath …
Back then, if it were not for his royal uncle Xiang Lingfeng"s protection and his father"s absolute might, if it were any other prince or princess, they probably would not have been able to return to Silver City in one piece.
Now that he thought about it, which one of these people wasn"t ruthless enough to cause his teeth to itch? It was even possible for them to kill him.For a moment, Xiang Yun felt as if his mind was in a mess. At the same time, he cursed the soul of that kid who had already dissipated a long time ago!
"d.a.m.n you, you son of a b * tch! To think that you were born into such a good situation. How could you not know that you should just follow your orders and offend so many powerful individuals in the Dragon City?! Now that they are here to collect debts, you should just pay them back for your death and let your father suffer!"
As Xiang Yun thought about this, he couldn"t help but feel even more depressed. He squatted down, picked up a rock, and threw it into the water next to him!
"Plop!"
The stone thrown out by the warrior, Sanyun, was like an arrow shooting through the water. The water suddenly turned into a puddle of water, and suddenly, there was a loud m.u.f.fled sound as a huge bubble emerged from the water!
Seeing this, Xiang Yun couldn"t help but be stunned. How could such a large blister appear out of nowhere?
Curious, Xiang Yun moved closer to the riverbank and stretched his head out to look at the river. It was rather dark at the moment, and even though the surface of the lake was extremely clear, it was still rather difficult to clearly see what was beneath the river.
Xiang Yun lowered his head to look, only to see a black object within the river. It was a big lump of water, looking like a huge boulder that had sunk into the water. However, this boulder was a little strange, as if it had stood upright in the water!Because it was a water ripple, Xiang Yun could not see it clearly. He vaguely felt that this rock was a little strange. Xiang Yun immediately lowered his body, lowering his head in an attempt to closely examine it.
However, just as Xiang Yun was squatting at the sh.o.r.e and closely examining the surroundings …
The surface of the water suddenly burst open into tiny splashes of water. Immediately after, a silver spot of light abruptly broke out of the water and shot towards Xiang Yun!
In that instant, Xiang Yun"s pupils abruptly contracted. At the same time, the hairs on his back rose up as a strong sense of danger enveloped his entire body! All of this was an instinctive reaction to a crisis.
At the same time, the golden spiritual root within Xiang Yun"s body suddenly glowed brightly, a wave of pure cloud energy flowing into his body without his control.The moment the silver light broke through the surface of the water, Xiang Yun"s arm had already grabbed his waist. Today, he had brought back that Grade Two Cloud Weapon, the Wandering Dragon Sword!
Xiang Yun suddenly grabbed ahold of the Wandering Dragon Sword"s body. With his fastest speed in his life, he wielded the sword and instantly moved it horizontally in front of him. The sword created an illusory shadow that instantly blocked the center of Xiang Yun"s brows!
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out!
Xiang Yun felt a great force come from the Wandering Dragon Sword in his hands, it actually caused him to uncontrollably stagger backwards. His arm felt numb, and at the same time a silver light shot out to his side!Xiang Yun had yet to stand firm on his feet when the surface of the willow river that was originally calm suddenly exploded with water!
A black figure leapt up from the water, like a fish hawk breaking through the surface of water in the night. The latter formed claws with his hands, clawing at Xiang Yun!
"Oh no, it"s an a.s.sa.s.sin!"Almost at the same instant the black figure appeared, the word "killer" resounded in Xiang Yun"s mind.
Only killers would do such a thing if they were all dressed in black, lying in ambush in the river!
After understanding everything in an instant, Xiang Yun did not hesitate at all. He naturally did not draw his sword to fight, but turned and ran!Judging from the man"s movements when he jumped out of the water, it was easy to tell that his cultivation base was higher than hers, and not by much. There was no possibility of a fight between the two!
However, Xiang Yun had still underestimated that person"s speed. Just as he had run seven or eight steps, he heard a m.u.f.fled thud from behind him. When he had run another five or six steps, a sharp gust of wind had already enveloped the back of his head!
In an instant, Xiang Yun had no time to think as his head abruptly dropped!
"Whoosh!"
A flying claw swept over Xiang Yun"s head, slashing past his scalp!
Even so, Xiang Yun felt his scalp tingle with pain, all the hairs on his body standing up. This person was vicious in his actions, he was definitely going to kill him!With no time to turn around, Xiang Yun could only run at full speed while simultaneously preparing to shout out loud!
However, just as he was about to open his mouth, an ear-piercing sound pierced through the air came from his neck. The distance between the two attacks was less than 0.1 seconds!Xiang Yun did not even have time to gather his energy to emit a sound. With a single thought, he executed the Hundred Transformations of the Divine Path. His body suddenly staggered, as if he had slipped and fallen!
In the next moment, on the right side of Xiang Yun"s head, a claw as black and thin as an eagle"s claw had already reached out close to his face, bringing with it a fierce and violent gale. Due to its inertia, it had struck forward!
The strike failed, and the claw withdrew with lightning speed. The claw was sharp like a blade, ready to cut through Xiang Yun"s right carotid artery!
Fortunately, Xiang Yun"s Hundred Transformations Movement Technique was strange and nimble. With a twist of his body, his waist suddenly lowered and he once again dodged a claw, only leaving a line of blood on his cheek!
