If he could get a free meal, Li Mu certainly wouldn't want to waste the opportunity to choose a reward.
Unfortunately, Constable Zhao mercilessly told him that if something was lost or broken, he would have to pay for it.
The value of each magic weapon couldn't be measured by the money of the secular world. If it had to be converted into silver, it would be at least a thousand taels of silver.
Although Liu Hanyan didn't lack this thousand taels of silver, she certainly wouldn't allow Li Mu to be so prodigal.
Li Mu temporarily dispelled the idea of stealing this magic weapon.
He put away the Soul Beating Whip. As long as he didn't activate it, no aura would leak out, and he wasn't afraid of being sensed by the evil spirit.
Spring Wind Pavilion.
When Li Mu walked in again, the brothel keeper greeted him and said with familiarity, "Oh, young master, are you going to order some more Qiao Qiao this time?"
Li Mu had just received the special funds from the yamen, so he generously said, "I'll order two this time. You can arrange it as you see fit."
The brothel keeper said, "If it's two, you'll have to pay more …"
In any case, the money would have to be returned. One more person meant one more person. Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Fine, I'll pay more. Do I look like someone who can't afford to pay more?"
"Of course not …" The brothel keeper's face was full of smiles. She beckoned the two women and said, "Huahua, Huanhuan, you two accompany the young master."
After entering the room, Li Mu had one woman play the zither and the other massage his legs. After a while, he had them switch places. The woman who was massaging his legs went to play the zither and the woman who was playing the zither massaged his legs.
In this way, he could evenly and continuously absorb the lust of the two.
It had to be said that this body was simply a sharp tool to harvest lust. He could cultivate by lying down every day.
Li Mu closed his eyes as if he was enjoying himself, but his mind had already followed the brothel keeper to the bottom of the well.
The silver he had just given to the brothel keeper had already been tampered with by him. There was a paper man at the bottom of the silver and a layer of silver powder. As long as the silver powder wasn't deliberately scraped off, the paper man wouldn't be found.
The procuress carried the money with her. This time, Li Mu heard the voice very clearly through the paper figurine.
Spring Wind Pavilion's backyard, under the well.
This well was dry and devoid of water, but there was another space. In a small space under the well, there were tables, chairs, and cabinets. Nothing was lacking.
A red-clothed woman was lazily lying on a bed. On the cabinet in front of the bed, there were several incense burners. The red-clothed woman gently took a deep breath. White smoke rose from the incense burners and was slowly sucked into her nose.
After inhaling the smoke, a satisfied look appeared on her face.
The procuress stood respectfully in front of the bed. After she finished inhaling the smoke, she replaced the incense burner with the other one.
The woman in red took a few deep breaths and said, "You don't have to send any more incense burners down. The ones in the room can also be removed."
Hearing this, the brothel keeper's face lit up. She asked, "Madam, are you finally going to be promoted?"
The woman in red exhaled and said, "It's too late."
The procuress was surprised, "How can it be too late?"
The woman in red said, "In three days, His Highness will summon all the ghost generals. According to the news I received, a month ago, the green-faced ghost was killed by someone. There are only seventeen ghost generals left. Without him, I'm the last of the ghost generals. If I can't advance to the Spirit Realm in three days, I will become His Highness' sacrifice …"
The procuress hurriedly asked, "What does Madam plan to do?"
The woman in red got out of bed and said, "Fortunately, I'm only one step away from the Spirit Realm. As long as I absorb the Yang souls of all the men in this building, I can immediately advance."
The procuress was worried, "But if Madam does this, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide it for long. The yamen will soon know."
The woman in red said, "These heartless men who only think with their lower bodies deserve to die. After I absorb them, I will leave here. You all should also run for your lives."
On the bed in a room on the second floor of Spring Wind Pavilion, Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes.
The woman who was massaging his legs was surprised, "Young Master, did I hurt you?"
Li Mu said, "It's none of your business. You can leave first. I want to sleep alone."
The two of them stood up and silently left the room.
The moment the door closed, Li Mu got up from the bed and crushed a communication jade token without hesitation.
After his investigation and the information collected by the yamen over the past few years about Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon and the eighteen ghost generals, he found that the one who was hiding in Spring Wind Pavilion and absorbing the Yang energy of the brothel guests was an evil ghost called "Lustful Man" under Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon.
The one Li Mu killed was called "Green-faced Ghost". Lustful Man and Green-faced Ghost were ranked very low among the eighteen ghost generals. Li Mu thought that Lustful Man would be obedient and slowly absorb the Yang energy. He didn't expect that he would kill Green-faced Ghost and force Lustful Man into a desperate situation.
Three days later, Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon would summon the ghost generals. At that time, Lustful Man would have to die again if he couldn't advance to the Soul Realm.
Therefore, she was prepared to risk everything and use the brothel guests in exchange for a chance to advance.
This brothel was under her control. Even if the guests died in the brothel, they would be discovered at least at night or even the next day.
It would take time for the jade token to send a message and for reinforcements to arrive. During this time, Lustful Man would have absorbed many people.
Li Mu didn't have time to hesitate. He pushed the door open and went downstairs.
He walked down the stairs and saw a woman in red walking out of the backyard with the procuress.
The woman in red had an ordinary face. She looked like an ordinary woman, but Li Mu felt that she was very dangerous.
Li Mu's mind raced. In the next moment, he walked in front of the procuress and said, "I've been here so many times. Today, I don't want to listen to music. I want to eat meat …"
The procuress naturally knew what it meant to eat meat. She smiled and said, "Young Master, who do you like? I'll arrange it for you."
Li Mu pointed at the woman in red and said, "I want her!"
The procuress's expression changed and she laughed dryly. "This, this won't do …"
Li Mu threw over an ingot of silver and said, "Why not? Do you have money that you don't want to earn here?"
The old woman was about to speak when the woman in red took the silver and said with a smile, "As long as you don't mind me being old, I'm willing to accompany you for a while …"
The procuress's lips moved, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Li Mu smiled at the woman in red and said, "Let's go …"
Seeing the two of them go up the stairs one after another, the procuress shook her head and said, "He's so handsome. What a pity …"
She sighed and said to a woman beside her, "Let everyone stand outside. Today, we'll attract more guests …"
On the second floor, Li Mu led the woman in red in and turned to close the door.
In order to prevent this female ghost from killing others, he could only take the risk.
However, wealth came from danger. This female ghost wanted to suck Li Mu's Yang Qi, and Li Mu also wanted to suck her lust.
That green snake made Li Mu want to eat it. He had long wanted to find a more powerful demon ghost to harvest. This woman was only one step away from the Soul Realm. If he sucked her lust, and coupled with the gains from Li Mu's brothel during this period of time, it should be enough for him to condense the seventh soul.
In this way, among the seven souls, he only lacked the fifth soul, Fei Du.
The woman in red walked to the bed and leaned against it. She said, "Young Master, you have to take pity on me …"
Li Mu walked to the bed and pretended to untie his belt.
The woman in red sucked gently, and the Yang Qi in Li Mu's body dissipated and was sucked into her body.
She coveted Li Mu's Yang Qi, so she would definitely have desire for Li Mu.
Li Mu took a deep breath. The strong power of lust made him intoxicated.
In order to make her more lust, Li Mu controlled the Yang Qi and poured it out of his body.
He had already refined the five souls and had a pure Yang body. The Yang Qi in his body was very abundant. This loss was nothing.
The woman in red had a strange look in her eyes. The Yang Qi of the person in front of her was completely different from the Yang Qi of those men. Not only was it endless, but it also played a far better role in her cultivation than ordinary men.
A greedy look appeared on her face as she increased the speed of her absorption.
Li Mu's belt was still not untied. The speed of his absorption increased as well.
Suddenly, a suspicious look appeared on the woman in red's face.
After absorbing so much Yang Qi, not only did she not feel excited, she even felt a little weak.
Li Mu had absorbed enough of the lust. Seeing that the ghost was suspicious, he raised his hand without hesitation and flung out a whip shadow from his sleeve, lashing the woman in red.
The woman in red could not dodge at all and was instantly whipped.
Sizzle!
When the Soul Striking Whip struck her, a black mark appeared on her body. Wisps of ghostly qi spread out from the mark.
"You're a cultivator!"
The woman in red's face was filled with anger. After coming to her senses, she stabbed her two ghostly claws at Li Mu's body.
Li Mu was already prepared. As he retreated quickly, he lashed out with his whip again. Another black mark appeared on the woman's hand. Her face was extremely ferocious. She let out an angry roar and no longer bothered with Li Mu. She turned into a cloud of black mist and broke out of the window. She had actually escaped.
Li Mu walked to the window and sensed a powerful aura. It was chasing after Lei Feng.
Since the County Governor had already made his move, Li Mu did not need to chase after her.
He walked to the door and knocked out the procuress who had heard the commotion in the room and was about to come in to check.
Many constables rushed in from the door and subdued all the brothel girls who did not know what had happened.
Constable Zhao walked in and said, "The County Governor has personally chased after her. She can't escape. Why did you suddenly clash with her? Did she find out?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "In three days, Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon will gather all the Ghost Generals. The woman in red does not want to be sacrificed and is prepared to risk everything. She will kill everyone in the brothel and suck their Yang Qi and blood. I had no choice but to lure her into the room and send you a message at the same time …"
Constable Zhao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done. When we return to the county office, you will be rewarded. Can you return the Soul Striking Whip first?"
