Without needing the lady to say more, Xiang Yun took the opportunity to hold onto the woman's arm, feigning intimacy as he teased, "My wife, your husband will bring you to a good place.

"

Having said this, Xiang Yun pulled the woman along as he strode forward at a rapid pace, using the Hundred Transformations Steps in secret. He traversed through the crowded streets and alleys as if he had entered a place devoid of anyone.

The two of them quickly arrived at the intersection at the center. Instantly, they turned towards the north of the city, walked past Yingchun Street, stepped onto the rouge bridge, and crossed the Willow River.

Xiang Yun and the woman entered the entire Qin Feng City. The place where the most people gathered was at night, the most lively scene in the North City.

There was an endless stream of pedestrians and carriages on the main street. The moment the two of them mixed in with the crowd, it was like a drop of water falling into the sea, and it was difficult to find them.

However, Xiang Yun was extremely fearful of the previous person. Even so, he was still worried, so he simply continued to rush through the crowd at a brisk pace. He had arrived at a place he was most familiar with within the northern city!

"Phoenix Pavilion!"

Without even thinking about it, Xiang Yun pulled the woman and took a step towards the entrance of the Phoenix Pavilion!

Before Xiang Yun could even step through the door, the young woman whom he had been pulling along suddenly flung her arm. Her strength was astounding; she had actually thrown Xiang Yun off her feet.

"My wife, what are you doing?"

"Who's your wife? Uncle isn't going to take a p.i.s.s and take care of himself. He has a beard and his skin is dark. He's so old, and he still wants to take advantage of me, a young and beautiful girl. Dream on!"

The way the young woman spoke was completely different from her obedient image. A string of insulting words blasted towards Xiang Yun like a cannon ball, leaving him unable to react for a long time.

"Miss, is there something wrong with your head?"

Xiang Yun was infuriated by this girl. She had clearly been the one to hold his hand and force him to pretend to be her husband, but now they had crossed the river and destroyed the bridge, turning hostile.

"You're the one with a screw loose! Your entire family is sick! This lady is in a good mood today, otherwise, I would have beaten you until all your teeth were lying on the floor!"

The woman lifted her head and pouted, her two big eyes staring like an angry little hen!

Xiang Yun had originally been rather angered by this woman's arrogant words, wanting to respond with a few words. However, he soon dismissed that notion, revealing a self-proclaimed handsome smile instead. He said, "Alright, then my wife, please go ahead!"

The woman's temperament was obviously very powerful. She coldly snorted and turned around to leave!

Xiang Yun did not care about this at all. With a cold laugh, he continued walking towards the entrance of the Phoenix Pavilion!

"Hubby!"

Xiang Yun had yet to step through the door when a beautiful yellow figure appeared behind him and grabbed his arm. That shout of "hubby" sent chills down one's spine, causing their bones to go soft hearing it.

Xiang Yun's footsteps halted as he glanced at the yellow-dressed girl, who had returned. He asked playfully, "Yo, isn't this the Ancestor Grandmother? What are you doing?"

Embarra.s.sment flashed across the young girl's face before it disappeared. She immediately revealed a cute and innocent look as she rebuked, "Aiyo, hubby! What are you talking about? What great-grandmother? I'm your wife!"

It turned out that the young man dressed in black appeared from the crowd once more like a ghost. Xiang Yun had previously turned around to see him and had long antic.i.p.ated that the yellow-robed woman would return.

Xiang Yun did not care about the yellow-dressed lady's worry at all. He only teased, "So it's my wife, I almost forgot about it if you didn't say it. However, your temper is so great, and this is a brothel, so I can't help but be intimate with other women. I'm afraid that you won't be able to take it.

"Aiyo, don't be like that. Hubby, don't worry, I won't be angry. You can play however you want in there. Don't mind me. Hubby, you're my G.o.d. How could I dare to care about G.o.d!"

This young lady had fully demonstrated what it meant to 'turn the tables faster than one turns one's books'. This flattery and flattery was even stealthier than Xiang Yun's arrival.

"Fine, since my wife wants to follow me, that's fine too. Later, I, your husband, will drink and eat with other girls. Can you just sit by the side and ma.s.sage my back and shoulders while pouring wine and cooking?"

"En, master, I will do as you say!" The girl in yellow continued to blink as she maintained the respectful smile on her face. However, a few words came out from the corner of her mouth, "Hey, don't be too excessive. Quickly bring me in, don't let that person find out."

Xiang Yun saw that this woman's eyes were still faintly threatening. He inwardly sneered incessantly, thinking to himself, 'Seems like it's not enough.'

As he spoke, Xiang Yun swept his hand across the woman, but before she could react!

"Pah!"

As Xiang Yun's palm struck down, he only felt that it was rich and flexible. The instant his palm stopped, he was struck back and forth by the elasticity. For a moment, Xiang Yun felt as if he had fallen into a daze.

It was not only Xiang Yun, but the young woman's body had also suddenly stiffened, frozen in place!

In the next moment, the young girl finally reacted. Her eyebrows immediately stood erect, her almond eyes were spitting fire, and she was about to open her little mouth and shout out curses!

"If you don't listen, then scram back. Can't I hit you?"

Before the young woman could erupt in rage, a cold shout rang out from Xiang Yun's mouth!

Remembering that ghost-like young man and his b.l.o.o.d.y methods, the girl still didn't dare to turn around and return to the main street.

"Hmph!" Xiang Yun savored the numb feeling that remained in his hands as he arrogantly gave a cold snort. Bringing the yellow clothed girl along, he swaggered into the entrance of the Phoenix Pavilion!

The group of men who had walked behind the two and witnessed Xiang Yun teaching the girl could not help but widen their eyes and look at Xiang Yun's back in shock. They began discussing amongst themselves!

"Oh my G.o.d. I've seen brothels, but I've never seen anyone bring their wife around. This brother is so amazing!"

A slightly shorter man muttered to himself with a face full of envy, "Aiyaya, I'll go teach my wife too. When I come to find her in the brothel, I'll make love in my bed. She'll bring me tea!"

The man's words incited a sneer from his companion, "If you, a thirty centimeter tall, still want to teach your wife, don't turn around and let that tigress of yours break your leg and break your roots. At that time, forget about the brothel, you won't even be able to get to the second floor."

Laughter rang out from outside as Xiang Yun and the yellow-robed woman entered the pavilion.

However, Mama w.a.n.g, who usually flattered and flattered Xiang Yun, did not come over to receive him. After all, with the size of the Phoenix Pavilion, the number of guests they received all day long was not something that a Mama w.a.n.g could entertain.

At this moment, the one entertaining the two was another thirty years old or so woman dressed in revealing clothing.

Seeing that Xiang Yun had actually brought a young girl into the pavilion, the woman was only stunned for a moment before revealing a graceful smile.

"Who's Miss Ying'er, a newcomer?" Xiang Yun subconsciously asked.

"Oh, esteemed guest, you don't know this, but Miss Ying'er just came to our Phoenix Pavilion three days ago. Not only is Miss Ying'er's beauty in life, her zither skills are much better than the court musicians in the palace!"

"For the past two days, most of the guests from our Phoenix Pavilion have gone to the Cabinet to listen to Miss Ying`er play the zither. With just ten taels of silver each, they would be able to drink fragrant tea and watch the beauties play the zither."

At this moment, a large group of men, both young and old, all with excited expressions crowded around each other as they rushed towards the cabinet. They were fighting over the silver in their hands and handing it over to the servants to collect the money.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yun couldn't help but be curious in his heart. Ten taels of silver was naturally nothing to him, but to ordinary people, this amount of money was not little.

"Alright, let's go listen to him as well!" Since Xiang Yun had nothing better to do, he might as well join in the fun. He slammed his hand down on the table, casually throwing out a note worth a hundred taels of silver onto the woman's snow-white chest, which revealed her collar.

The woman held the banknote in her hand and was stunned for a long time before she reacted. Looking at the banknote with the seal of the store on it, her eyes immediately lit up, revealing a look of pleasant surprise.

"Aiyo, Young Master, I will lead the way for you and your wife!"

After pa.s.sing through a long corridor, the woman brought the two to an open building. It was beautifully decorated and elegant.

There were more than ten chairs in the room, and all of them were quite open. Four or five tables were already seated, and most of them were near the pavilion's fence so that they could observe the scenery below the fence.

Xiang Yun looked along the fence, only to see a large crowd gathered below, clamoring incessantly. It was the same guests who had paid ten taels of silver to watch Miss Ying'er play the zither.

However, there was a circular platform in the middle of the crowd. It was slightly better than the pavilion on the second floor. There was a zither, a bench, and several pots of Lilac Orchids embedded in it.

Xiang Yun also chose a seat at a corner near the railing, asking casually, "When will Miss Ying'er's performance begin?"

"Don't worry, Young Master. Look at the fragrant tree on the stage. Once it burns out, Miss Ying'er will come out to play!"

Xiang Yun looked over and indeed saw that there was a faint fragrance from within the gauze curtains of the stage. Smoke slowly rose, curling up into the air. It was as if clouds and mist were drifting about, as if he was in paradise!

For some unknown reason, as Xiang Yun gazed upon this fragrant and smoky scenery, he felt that something was amiss, yet he could not pinpoint just where it was!
