Longyi led Qing Wu, Piao Xue, and Li Qing upstairs. No one dared to stop them.
When they went upstairs, there were two muscular men in leather armor standing at the door of Cui Niang's boudoir. When they saw Longyi and his group walking over arrogantly, they immediately tensed up and entered a fighting state.
In an instant, two cold air flashed past. The two muscular men were covered in frost and couldn't move. The only thing that could move was their pair of frightened eyes.
"Young Master Ying, don't be like this. You're drunk. Ah …" Longyi stretched out his hand and was about to push the door open when he heard Cui Niang's panicked shout. A strange look flashed in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Cui … Cui Niang, don't you know how I treat you?" A slurred male voice sounded. It seemed that he really drank a little too much.
"Cui Niang understands, but Cui Niang can't accept it." Cui Niang's breathing was a little hurried.
"Why? Is it because of that brat that day? What's so good about him? How can he be compared to me? " The man roared like an enraged lion, followed by the sound of porcelain shattering.
"No … No, Young Master Ying, please let me go." Cui Niang begged helplessly with the sound of silk tearing.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Longyi's mouth. He opened the door with a squeak and looked at the man and woman by the window with interest. Cui Niang panicked. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and a large piece of her clothes was torn off her shoulder. Long Ying was full of the smell of alcohol, and his face was twisted with anger.
"Young Master, Young Master …" When Cui Niang saw Longyi, she suddenly pushed Long Ying away and rushed into Longyi's arms like a swallow returning to the woods. She cried bitterly.
Longyi patted Cui Niang's back. He stared at Long Ying mockingly and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you only have this kind of means. Where did you, the romantic saint, go?"
"Ximen Yu, it's you again. It's you again, why do you have to go against me every time? "Long Ying's drunkenness seemed to have disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving behind only a heart full of hatred.
Long Yi smiled and shook his head, "You think too highly of yourself. The current you isn't qualified to be my opponent."
"You … You will die a horrible death." Long Ying snorted and angrily walked out.
Just as the Dragon Hawk brushed past Longyi, the blood-colored skull mark on Longyi's left palm slightly trembled, and then calmed down.
Longyi frowned as he turned around to look at Long Ying's back. There seemed to be something wrong with this guy.
At this moment, Cui Niang blushed and pushed Longyi away. With a tinge of shyness and uneasiness.
"Wipe it." Longyi took out a brocade handkerchief from his spatial ring and handed it to Cui Niang. Then, he found a chair and sat down. Qing Wu and Piao Xue obediently massaged his shoulders from behind.
Cui Niang wiped her tears. Looking at Qing Wu and Piao Xue who were serving Longyi, she was startled at first, but then, she revealed an expression of relief. Although Qing Wu and Piao Xue were dressed in men's clothing, their slender figure and delicate facial features had already exposed their female identity.
Long Yi comfortably snorted, then slightly signalling Li Su with his eyes, then Li Qing walked out. Then, Li Qing walked out and closed the door.
Cui Niang held the brocade handkerchief in her hand and quietly stuffed it into her sleeve. Then, she brewed a pot of tea and sat opposite Longyi.
"Young Master, please have some tea." Cui Niang poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Longyi. Her beautiful eyes secretly glanced at him, but she didn't expect that Longyi was looking at her with a smile. So, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and her heart was pounding.
"Cui Niang, when did you know about Long Ying's identity?" Longyi asked indifferently.
"A few days ago, I heard it from my sisters, but I only know about young master's identity just now." Cui Niang took a deep breath and answered. She also didn't expect that the man she saw a few days ago would be the Second Young Master of Ximen Residence.
"Since you know that Long Ying is the Crown Prince, why don't you follow him?" Longyi continued to ask. A little girl of Ground View Building was fancied by the Crown Prince. Perhaps, anyone who knew about this would think that it was a blessing of several lifetimes.
"Although the status of the Crown Prince is noble, but the matters of affection cannot be measured by status. He can obtain this little girl's body, but this little girl's heart will always be filled with the person I like." Cui Niang softly replied. There was a firm expression on her face, but also a bit of bitterness and helplessness.
"Then, who is in your heart?" Long Yi asked while sipping a mouthful of tea.
The beautiful face of Cui Niang became even more rosy, and she was unable to speak. When she plucked up her courage and raised her head, she saw Longyi was in a daze while holding a teacup. His eyes were filled with sadness and reminiscence, and there was also a trace of vicissitudes of powerlessness. Just like that early morning when she pushed open the window, she saw him. White clothes, long black hair, and sad eyes. At that instant, her heart trembled as if it was shocked by electricity, and from then on, his figure was branded in her heart.
If not for that instant, then perhaps she would have already succumbed to Long Ying. A woman of a brothel was a woman of a brothel, no matter how many people pursued her, it would not make her become a lady of a noble family. That pure body was only a kind of bargaining chip, nothing more. It was for the sake of selling her body for a higher price. She was essentially no different from other women of a brothel.
But that figure was branded in her heart, giving birth to a trace of hope. Even if she had to give her body, she had to give it to the person she liked, so she was powerless to resist under the pressure of Long Ying.
Although as a woman of a brothel, politics seemed to be far away from them, there were many people in the brothel, and there were endless streams of people from all walks of life. Therefore, basically every woman of a brothel had a little understanding of the current situation of the continent.
The influence of the Ximen Clan that could cover the sky with one hand and the power of the Ximen Clan that was decreasing day by day easily made people think of something. When Cui Niang knew that Longyi was the rather legendary Second Young Master of the Ximen Clan, it was impossible to say that she didn't have any thoughts in her heart. He was someone she liked and had the ability to protect her. This was simply a blessing from the God of Light. The opportunity was right in front of her, how could she not want to grasp it tightly?
"Do you want to be the lady boss of this House of Vermilion Cuddling?" Suddenly, Longyi threw out a sentence, which surprised Cui Niang.
Cui Niang's mother only hesitated for a few seconds before she hurriedly answered. She originally wanted to beg Longyi to take her away, even if she was satisfied to be a maid by his side. However, being the lady boss of this brothel was another matter. Although being the lady boss still had to live a life of welcoming and sending off guests, at least her pure body was preserved. Moreover, under the protection of the Ximen Clan, who would dare to cause trouble? Moreover, she could do something for her sweetheart, which made her most satisfied.
"Very soon, you will get what you wish for." Longyi faintly smiled. This Cui Niang had a tenacious temperament and was also smart enough. With a little training, she would be able to hold her own.
At this moment, in the backyard of the House of Vermilion Cuddling, there were dozens of corpses lying everywhere in the rockery forest. Every corpse was covered in frost, and there was a thin wound on their throats. It looked as if they had been frozen in an ice cellar for a few days.
Li Qing walked out of the two-storey building in the backyard. His expression was cold and indifferent as usual. In the few secret rooms of the house behind him, nearly a hundred corpses were already lying on the spot.
Li Qing walked forward with his sword in his arms, but suddenly heard a scream. The lady boss of the House of Vermilion Cuddling was looking at him with a pale face.
A cold light flashed in Li Su's eyes. The Ice Sword in her hand drew a milky white arc, and a head flew into the air. Then, everything returned to normal.
The Ice Sword was pointed diagonally at the ground. A few drops of blood involuntarily slid down. The moment they fell off the tip of the sword, they turned into blood-colored ice beads and fell on the limestone floor, making clanking sounds.
In the next second, Longyi appeared in front of Li Qing with Qing Wu, Piao Xue, and Cui Niang. Cui Niang's pretty face was slightly pale as she looked at the headless corpse of the lady boss on the ground. Clearly, she had never seen such a bloody scene before.
"Is it all settled?" Longyi asked.
"Yes, Young Master." Li Qing answered briefly.
— — — —
Longyi looked around. When the Beautiful Fragrance House was bathed in blood, the Dragon Clan actually arrogantly built their intelligence base on the same spot. The Dragon Clan actually arrogantly built their intelligence base in the same place. They really didn't put him in their eyes. A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood was his principle, and this was only the beginning.
In the eyes of the common people, the Dragon Clan was the legitimate heir of the Dragon Empire. Looking at the current situation, Ximen Clan wouldn't make the first move. Then, he would publicly pull out the spy planted by the Dragon Clan, and casually find an excuse to fool the common people. Let's see how long that Military Advisor would endure. If the Proud Moon Empire's army returned. Perhaps, even if he wanted to make a move, he wouldn't have the chance to do so.
"These flowers are very bright." Longyi stared at those colorful flowers in the courtyard and murmured.
"Yes, I don't know why, but the flowers in this courtyard bloom much earlier than the flowers outside, but they wither much later. This is really strange." Cui Niang had already adapted to the situation. Hearing Longyi talking to himself, she replied.
"Is it strange?" Long Yi faintly asked in reply. He suddenly raised his hand and a layer of faint cyan light appeared in his hand. He lightly waved his hand and suddenly, a gust of wind blew past. Those beautiful flowers along with their roots and soil were completely blown into the air.
When everything calmed down, the ground was a mess. To everyone's surprise, there was a magic array emitting a faint light on the ground where all kinds of flowers were planted.
"Spirit Trapping Magic Array." Longyi's eyes flashed. Now, he already knew all kinds of magic arrays like the back of his hand. When he saw this magic array, he knew the name of this magic array.
Longyi flicked his finger at the surrounding of this Spirit Trapping Magic Array. Several magic stones that supplied magic power suddenly flew up, and the light of this magic array instantly dimmed. A thick black fog floated up, and a gloomy cold air suddenly covered the entire backyard. Among the black fog, a human shaped red shadow was faintly discernible in the center of the magic array.
"Nether Spirit." Long Yi was shocked. He sensed a powerful undead aura. In order to avoid trouble, he set up a barrier to isolate the entire backyard.
"It's Elder Sister Yu, she's Elder Sister Yu." When Qing Wu and Piao Xue saw the fiery red Nether Spirit floating in the air, they couldn't help but shout with tears in their eyes.
Longyi was also shocked. The blurry outline of this fiery red Nether Spirit was indeed somewhat similar to Ru Yu. What made him even more shocked and ecstatic was that this Nether Spirit didn't attack upon seeing strangers like the other Nether Spirits that had lost their consciousness. She actually sent a wave of cordial signals, wanting to approach, but not daring to do so.
"Ru Yu, don't be afraid. Come here." Longyi tried to use his mental power to communicate with this fiery red Nether Spirit. Generally speaking, Nether Spirits were undead creatures that didn't have their own consciousness, unless they were specters. However, their so-called consciousness was also formed in the later stages of life, so they wouldn't retain the consciousness they had when they were alive. However, from the looks of this fiery red Nether Spirit, Ru Yu seemed to have retained a part of her consciousness. That was why when she saw someone she was familiar with, she would express cordial signals.
The fiery red Nether Spirit sensed Longyi's call. It carefully floated over and arrived in front of Longyi. It brought along a strange scorching aura. It was a kind of gloomy and cold heat. Although it seemed to be a contradiction in terms, it really felt that way. Longyi didn't know how this kind of strange Nether Spirit was born. Perhaps, when the Beautiful Fragrance Building was burnt down, it absorbed the heat of the fire element, thus forming a rare natural Nether Spirit.
"Ru Yu, do you know me? I'm your Young Master. "Longyi said softly. He extended his hand towards the fiery red Nether Spirit, but the Nether Spirit subconsciously retreated, allowing Longyi's big hand to touch it.
The Nether Spirit was a pure spiritual body. When Longyi covered the surface of his palm with his spiritual power, he actually felt the Nether Spirit touching it. The Nether Spirit's blurry face rubbed against Longyi's palm. It seemed to be quite happy.
"Big Sister Yu, we are Qing Wu and Piao Xue." When Qing Wu and Piao Xue saw that the Nether Spirit didn't know them, they felt even more sad and cried out loud.
The fiery red Nether Spirit felt Qing Wu and Piao Xue's sadness and turned its head to look at them. It hesitantly extended its red, almost translucent hand, wanting to wipe away the tears on their faces. However, Qing Wu and Piao Xue didn't have any special spiritual power, so the Nether Spirit's hand passed through their faces as if there was nothing there.
Longyi looked at the sky and communicated with the fiery red Nether Spirit using his spiritual power. Then, he kept it into his Dark Dimension Space. He planned to check the Holy Temple's library again to see what exactly was going on.
Longyi lifted the ground under the Spirit Trapping Magic Array with his palm. Sure enough, as he expected, there was a pile of bones two meters below the ground. They were the Skynet Intelligence Agents and some innocent ladies who died in the Beautiful Fragrance Brothel two years ago. Longyi ordered people to disperse the guests of the Vermillion Jade Cuddling Brothel and asked people to move the bones out for a proper burial. Then, he called over a few Skynet Intelligence Agents to comb through the ladies in the brothel and give Cui Niang intelligence training.
As for the other top hostess of the Vermillion Jade Cuddling Brothel, Xi Hong, she was originally an intelligence agent of the Dragon Clan. Although she begged for mercy and said that she was willing to divulge the Dragon Clan's secrets, the secrets she knew were nothing to Longyi. Moreover, the most important thing in intelligence was loyalty. Even if she really had some ability, how would Longyi dare to use her?
…
The night was pitch-black.
The late winter seemed to be on the right track at this time. The howling cold wind in the sky actually carried fine Xiao Xue flowers.
The simple yet elegant bedroom was covered with layers of barriers. Qing Wu and Piao Xue sat cross-legged on the bed. Unlike the last time, they were completely naked. This time, they were wearing a thin layer of underwear. Their breasts were raised high under their underwear, revealing half of their round breasts and deep cleavage. It was extremely alluring.
Longyi sat opposite the two women and stared at the sea of consciousness between their eyebrows. At the same time, a complicated and exquisite Magic Array appeared in his mind. The twists and turns of the lines were extremely clear, as if they were engraved in his mind.
Longyi was no stranger to Magic Arrays. In the past, he relied on an incomplete Magic Array book that he found in Mea's Holy Magic Academy. He even made some simple Magic Scrolls from that book. However, it was very different this time. He wanted to use his mental strength and mana to engrave a Magic Array in the two women's sea of consciousness. This method was not taken from those books in the Holy Temple. Instead, it was his own creation. He experimented on dozens of prisoners in the Heaven Forbidden Prison. In the beginning, more than ten prisoners died because Longyi did not control his strength well. The mortality rate was 100%. Later on, Longyi improved the method and the mortality rate was only 50%. After that, more than ten prisoners succeeded. Longyi had already mastered the knack of it. Therefore, he dared to use this method on Qing Wu and Piao Xue.
This was naturally to solve the thorny problem of the Blood Spirit that was implanted in Qing Wu and Piao Xue's bodies. This was an extremely obscure and nameless Magic Array that he had accidentally found. This solution was also his own creation. At that time, he had flipped through all the books on Magic Arrays, but he still could not find a way to break the Blood Spirit. Just when he was feeling vexed, he saw a double-layered Magic Array that could defend and attack the Blood Spirit. This kind of Magic Array was extremely complicated and consumed a lot of mana and mental strength. The success rate was also not high. It seemed that all complicated Magic Arrays were like this, and the Nine Yin Refining Soul Array was one of them.
This was what Longyi thought. Once the Blood Spirit was awakened from the body, it would attack the sea of consciousness and destroy the original consciousness of the host. Longyi had set up this Magic Array in the two women's sea of consciousness. Once the sea of consciousness was attacked, this Magic Array would be activated. This Magic Array would trap the attacking Blood Spirit in the Magic Array. As long as Longyi continuously infused mana and mental strength into the Magic Array, the Blood Spirit would be devoured bit by bit by the Magic Array until it disappeared.
Slowly, Longyi raised his hands and placed them in between the eyebrows of the two women. He closed his eyes and started to infuse his mental strength into the Magic Array.
Because he was not a magician, the two women's sea of consciousness was pitch-black. This was the perfect place for Longyi to use his mental strength without any worries.
His mental strength formed a thin line and started to draw according to the Magic Array in Longyi's mind. The smooth and round lines perfectly formed into arcs. There was no hindrance when the complex moving lines flashed faintly in this dark sea of consciousness. One after another, complex patterns and runes began to take shape.
After an unknown period of time, a large circular Magic Array was formed in the two women's sea of consciousness. The intricate lines and patterns in the Magic Array could make people dizzy. At this moment, the Magic Array was almost complete.
Finally, when the last line was completely aligned at the edge, the Magic Array was completed. Longyi cautiously infused his mana into the Magic Array along with the mental strength lines. Immediately, the Magic Array shone with colorful brilliance. Those mysterious runes seemed to carry the power of the depths of the universe. At first glance, one's mind could not help but be drawn into it.
Suddenly, Longyi opened his eyes. His eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, captivating people's souls. He seemed to have understood something, but it also seemed like he had not seen through anything.
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid qi, Long Yi felt that his back was completely drenched in sweat. He had used up so much energy, so he was somewhat tired. However, his heart was filled with a strong pleasant surprise. He ought to feel proud. Setting up a magic array in the sea of consciousness of a person, that however, was a genius idea. Moreover, he was able to succeed.
Longyi jumped off the bed and changed into a set of dry clothes. Then, he pushed open the door and walked out.
The sky was a little bright. The fine Xiao Xue Flowers were still falling along with the cold wind, covering the whole world with a faint layer of white gauze.
After letting out a breath of cold air, Longyi walked into the courtyard wearing a thin silk shirt. He reached out his hand, and the fine snowflakes fell into his hand. The cold feeling brought his thoughts to the silvery-white world — the Ice Field.
He still remembered that in order to cure the curse on Wu Shuang, he went deep into the Ice Field with Yu Feng to search for the Ruyi Ice Silkworm. The warmth of relying on each other in life and death seemed to be just yesterday, but time had mercilessly passed through four springs and summers.
"Feng Er, are you still in the Flaming Mountain?" Longyi murmured. Now that the situation of his Dragon Empire had reached the most critical moment, he could not leave to look for Yu Feng in the Flaming Mountain at all.
Yu Feng was one of the first few girls that Longyi knew. As he recalled the bits and pieces of his acquaintance with her, Longyi could not help but smile.
At that time, in a small town, he had coincidentally met Yu Feng, and merely looked at her once, but she regarded him as a wretched pervert. Afterwards, with his weak strength at that time, he was able to rescue her from thousands of dire wolves, now thinking about it, Long Yi was somewhat proud of himself. After that, the fragrant treatment, the meeting in Light City, and the promise of life and death in the Ice Field, the encounter between the two could not be said to be not wonderful.
At this moment, Longyi was suddenly awakened from his memories by a wave of magic power. A large ball of ice flew down from the sky.
