Chapter 306: Drinking with a Beauty
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
By the afternoon of the next day, Lu Li had already taken a nap in the wild and cultivated for a day. He put away the Coffin of the Dragon King in his Interspatial Ring and asked Ming Yu to take him to the Yong An City.
The three took a bath in the river the day before. Lu Li changed into an elegant robe and had a folding fan in his hand, taking on the disguise of a playboy.
Ming Yu and Yu Huashen also changed into new robes and they acted as Lu Li’s escorts, which made the playboy look of Lu Li more convincing.
The three all wore Mithral Golem Masks, appearing very mysterious. Instead of using his Bead of Life, Ming Yu went on by feet. They arrived at the Yong An City in just a bit more than an hour.
It was now near dusk. The merchant ship of the Pavilion of Delicacy had yet to arrive, but there were other people waiting outside of the city already. They must be here to take the merchant ship as well.
Lu Li gently fanned his folding fan and raised his head with arrogance in his eyes. He acted quite good as a playboy.
It was getting darker. Now, there were more than forty or fifty people outside the city, waiting for the merchant ship.
The sun gradually sank. The crimson evening glow shone on the land, covering everything in dark red.
“Swish, swish~”
From the west came a noise with a black dot zooming in at a horrible speed. The noise was getting louder, harsher and harsher, and the black dot was getting bigger quickly. Soon, the entirety of the black dot presented itself.
“Um…”
Lu Li, Yu Huashen, and Ming Yu were taken by surprise. This was an Iron-armored Ship? It was more like a floating castle.
Average Iron-armored Ship usually had a length of more than 1000 feet and dozens of feet in width. This one, however, had a length of more than 10,000 feet and width of more than 1000 feet. It was more like a giant beast. The dark evening light and crimson glow made the Iron-armored Ship all the more breathtaking.
The mobile floating castle paused above the south of the Yong An City with rows of warriors in red armors on the deck. Lu Li was shocked to find out that they were all Eternal Realm warriors.
There were hundreds of warriors onboard this huge Iron-armored Ship, and all of them were at the Eternal Realm. This was a testimony of the resources owned by the twelve Royal Families. This was only a merchant ship. Then how many Eternal Realm warriors were there at the Pavilion of Delicacy? Incalculable!
“Whoosh!”
From the deck came five Eternal Realm warriors. They landed on the ground, glanced over and said in a deep voice, “All those who want to board the ship, take out your tokens.”
Ming Yu took out his token, so did Lu Li and Yu Huashen. Ming Yu walked over to hand in the tokens which were inspected by one of the Eternal Realm warriors. The warrior gave the tokens back to Ming Yu, waved his hand with a poker face and said, “Move.”
Ming Yu led Lu Li and Yu Huashen and flew up to the ship before landed on the deck. None of the warriors paid any attention to them even though they were wearing the Mithral Golem Masks. None of the warriors even sent them extra glances.
A steward-looking warrior at the peak of the Eternal Realm waved his hand and said, “You can go to cabin No. 69. On the merchant ship, you cannot make any trouble or resort to violence. Apart from the second and third floor, you can move about on the first floor. There is a cultivation room, auction room, wine cellar and joyhouse on the ship but you need to pay Xuan Crystals.”
The steward told them the rules. Then Lu Li was shown to cabin No. 69 by a warrior. It was pretty easy to find. Lu Li and the other two went in. The cabin was small, only enough for them to sleep and cultivate.
Lu Li didn’t mind it. Ming Yu embarrassedly explained, “Young Master, I didn’t know that the cabin is so small. They have VIP rooms but they are twice as pricy, so…”
“It doesn’t matter!”
Lu Li was born out of impoverishment and it was good enough for him to have a private cabin. He asked in curiosity, “I know that wine cellar is where you dine and drink, but what is a joyhouse?”
Ming Yu didn’t understand, either. Yu Huashen smiled a cunning smile and said, “Whorehouse. The merchant ship is so well-equipped.”
“…”
Lu Li touched his nose in embarrassment. The merchant ship had everything, a place for cultivation and even a joyhouse. Living on the merchant ship was not different than living in the city. People could live here for years without feeling bored.
Yu Huashen moved in closer and said in a low voice, “Young Master, how about I show you around later? Do you want to feel what girls of the Central Plains are like?”
“No!”
Lu Li waved his hand and said. He had no discrimination against those girls but he hadn’t sunk into the level of visiting a joyhouse. He didn’t even make a move on Madam Yan, who was a one-of-a-kind woman back at the Thousand-island Lake.
“I wonder how the Thousand-island Lake is like now.”
Bai Xiashuang, Bai Qiuxue and Liu Yi… there was also Zi Lian and Ye Cha, all of them came to Lu Li’s mind when he thought of Madam Yan.
Lu Li thought that if everything went well, he would go to the Ice Abyss at the Northern Desert with warriors from the Lu Family and he would drop off at the Thousand-island Lake then.
The others taking the merchant ship had come aboard. With a soft white glow, a shield was activated, then the merchant ship whooshed towards the east with a glare.
Lu Li felt a bit bored after sitting a while in the cabin. He had just boarded such a huge merchant ship so he wanted to wander around. He called Yu Huashen over and walked outside.
Ming Yu didn’t go with them. He was not that into human connections. His entire mind was on cultivation, and he was not fond of noises or lively crowds of people.
Lu Li and Yu Huashen left the cabin. There were fewer escort warriors on the deck now, only dozens standing in silence. The deck was full of people. Some were wandering around and some entered larger cabins.
Lu Li fanned his folding fan and roamed about like a playboy. He had found the cultivation room, the auction room, wine cellar and the joyhouse.
These were all converted from large cabins, which were very spacious. If it were not for the fact that the Iron-armored Ship was flying quickly, Lu Li would think that he was in a small city…
Standing on the deck, gazing into the mountains moving backwards and the boundless wildness, Lu Li somehow found more inner peace.
They would spend some time on the Iron-armored Ship. Lu Li could figure out how to open the Coffin of the Dragon King which contained so many treasures. Once Lu Li sold the treasures, he would have enough Xuan Crystals to take the Teleportation Formation to the Mystic Armor Region.
With this thought, Lu Li put his mind at ease. He was ready to go back to cultivate after standing on the deck for an hour.
At that moment, an elder suddenly flew down from the second floor and stood in front of Lu Li. Yu Huashen put his guard up. He was more nervous when he glanced over and confirmed that the elder was at the Noble Lord Realm.
“Don’t be so nervous.”
The elder cupped his hands, pointed to a figure on the second floor and said, “Our Lady wants to have a drink with this Young Master and make a friend.”
Lu Li looked towards the second floor, and there stood a beautiful lady in purple dress.
The lady seemed to be in her twenties with a slim figure and pretty face. She was looking at him as well, but she appeared to be drunk, her eyes misty and her cheeks rosy. She was even trembling a bit…
For any average men, they would be thrilled when this happened. How wonderful it was to have a beautiful lady asking for a date at the romantic hours with the company of a shining moon?
Lu Li was not interested at all. As a matter of fact, he was repulsed a bit. He didn’t want any new problems to crop up unexpectedly, and he just wanted to arrive at the Mystic Armor City uneventfully.
Therefore, after a while of consideration, he asked, “What is your lady’s family name? I… don’t think I know her. Please tell her thank you but I am otherwise engaged.”
The elder was surprised a little. Then his lips trembled as a sound rang in Lu Li’s mind, “Young Master, it doesn’t matter what her family name is. The important thing here is that she likes you. As long as you can spend a night with her and make her happy, you will get five million Xuan Crystals.”
“Five million Xuan Crystals?”
Lu Li’s pupils contracted. His face was covered in shock. He was not surprised by the five million Xuan Crystals, but by the fact that someone wanted to buy him for a night?
What was he, selling his body for Xuan Crystals?
A pimp?
