Chapter 84 - 73: Young Master, Are You Here for Pleasure?_3
Lu Changsheng let out a breath and went to another inn to open a room.
He used a Purification Talisman to check if he was marked for tracking.
Once he confirmed that he wasn’t being followed, Lu Changsheng put on the Human Skin Mask, and with a slight shift of his mental spirit, his face turned into the likeness of Li Feiyu.
“It’s really worthy of being a magic artifact, with this I don’t need to change my appearance anymore.”
Lu Changsheng looked at himself in the mirror, whose features shifted continuously, and he couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
It was a pity that this mask was just a lower-grade magical instrument.
The changes in appearance, once scrutinized by a cultivator at the Energy Refinement Late Stage using the Spiritual Eye Technique, would reveal some inconsistencies.
However, it didn’t matter, at that time he could just wear another Human Skin Mask.
After all, as long as his real face couldn’t be recognized, it was fine.
After all, with a lower-grade magical instrument, what else would one need a bicycle for?
Lu Changsheng used the Human Skin Mask to transform into an ordinary face and walked out of the inn.
Then he turned left and right, returning to his own face in an alleyway.
He was dressed in a Qingzhu Embroidered Robe with Green Wind Boots, handsome and elegant as if a graceful pine was charming the wind.
Just as Lu Changsheng was about to leave the alley,
a voluptuous woman walked out of a small courtyard nearby, wearing only a thin, pink gauze garment that accentuated her curves, revealing creamy white fragrant shoulders.
Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, her eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but smile coquettishly, saying softly, “Is the young master here to seek pleasure?”
Lu Changsheng’s face was full of question marks.
“Since the young master is here, why not come in and experience it for yourself.”
“For just five spirit stones, this slave can give the young master the ultimate pleasure.”
The woman said in a tender voice, her seductive eyes like silk, reaching out her fair, jade-like hand to pull Lu Changsheng, giving him a tingling sensation as if he had been electrocuted.
Particularly the bewitching, musk-like fragrance emanating from her body was highly seductive, making one’s heart restless and desiring to lose oneself in the land of beautiful women.
At the same time, the Cold Jade Spiritual Amulet worn on Lu Changsheng’s chest produced a clear spiritual energy that suppressed the restlessness he was feeling.
“Bewitching Technique!”
Lu Changsheng immediately became wary, realizing the woman in front of him was using a bewitching technique on him.
He hastily stepped back, shaking his head and saying, “I’m sorry, I’m just passing by.”
“Today, this slave is very fond of the young master, for just two spirit stones, I can be at the young master’s… ”
The woman continued to speak, her lovely and charming face taking on a pitiable look.
It made one irresistible not to feel pity and the urge to indulge in her and ravish her.
Upon hearing her words, Lu Changsheng repeatedly chanted “Namo Amitabha Buddha” in his heart, folded his hands, and quickly left.
“Young master, at least for today, this slave won’t take your spirit stones~”
The woman called out in a soft voice again.
However, Lu Changsheng didn’t turn back and quickly walked out of the alley, leaving the woman with a somewhat ugly expression on her face.
She cursed resentfully: “Hmph, oblivious to what’s good for him, as if being handsome is such a big deal!”
Then she turned and went back into her courtyard.
“Phew!”
Lu Changsheng walked out of the alley and exhaled a long breath.
He felt no hint of longing, only relief at the close call.
“I had thought myself battle-hardened, weathered through numerous trials, with a resolve as firm as steel, never to be easily swayed by the charms of a woman, yet I hadn’t expected the power of a bewitching technique to be so formidable.”
“The female cultivator just now should not have had a very high cultivation level, just middle-stage to late Qi Refinement; nevertheless, in such a situation, I actually felt enchanted.”
“If it were a cultivator of great cultivation level or one adept in bewitching techniques, it would truly be an unstoppable defense.”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but inwardly remark.
The woman he had just met was indeed good-looking, with a very seductive figure, but that alone wouldn’t have affected him so much.
Yet as she approached, her words and actions made his heart restless and eager to plunge into desire.
“Strength, it’s the increase of strength that is the true path!”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and silently thought to himself.
If he really encountered a powerful bewitching technique or other unpreventable tactics,
even with a body full of talismans and possessing Talisman Treasures, he might be unable to use them.
“I mustn’t wander carelessly in these alleys in the future; one never knows when danger might strike.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head and walked towards the Spiritual Talisman Shop.
He planned to keep to the more crowded streets from now on.
The Nine Dragons Market was known for its good public order, but that did not mean it was entirely devoid of hazards.
Accidents would happen from time to time, and in these deserted alleys, there might lurk heretic cultivators or robber cultivators.
On his way back to the Spiritual Talisman Shop, Lu Changsheng passed ‘White Jade Tower’ and involuntarily paused.
Then, eyeing the White Jade Tower before him, his gaze narrowed, and he strode in.
After all, one mustn’t stop taking wives, concubines, and fathering children.
That was his foundation for settling down and establishing himself in this world.
If one could simply buy maids or concubines with a Spiritual Root, it would naturally be the best option.
Otherwise, if left to his own devices to find them, it would be difficult.
This difficulty did not solely refer to the challenges of taking multiple wives or concubines.
Lu Changsheng knew that with his current circumstances, marrying a few more ‘fairies’ with Spiritual Roots would not pose an issue.
But after taking a wife or concubine, investing the time, effort, and emotion into having children with them was substantial.
Even now, with his several wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng could already feel the limitations of his time and attention; he could not possibly care for each and every one equally.
If these matters could be settled with money, relatively speaking, he wouldn’t need to invest so much emotion and effort.
The interior of the White Jade Tower was spacious and elegantly furnished, set up with simple yet refined seats, where seven or eight young ladies in uniform red dresses stood.
Inside the hall, two young women in red dresses were explaining something to two cultivators who appeared to be customers.
“What would the young master like to know about? Do you wish to take a wife or concubine or to purchase a maid? Let me introduce you to our services.”
At that moment, a woman in a red dress saw Lu Changsheng, approached with a beaming smile, and spoke.
“Do you have maids or concubines with a Spiritual Root here?”
Lu Changsheng asked directly.
The woman in the red dress was momentarily stunned.
After carefully observing Lu Changsheng’s appearance and demeanor, and verifying that he was not joking, her smile grew even deeper.
Knowing that Lu Changsheng was a potentially significant customer, she promptly led him to the second floor.
The furnishings on the second floor differed from the main hall below, divided into many private rooms. The woman in the red dress led Lu Changsheng to a room and knocked on the door.
“Come in!”
A languorous and tantalizing voice came from within, soul-stirring and causing anyone who heard it to tremble slightly in their spirit.
