Chapter 30: Lou Yunxiao Gets Jealous
Zhongdu City was similar to the capital of the Human Race.
The cities governed by the major sects were built surrounding it, with it as the center.
Its scale was equivalent to twice that of an ordinary city, capable of accommodating a population of over a million.
At this time, because of the holding of the Sect Grand Competition, it was exceptionally lively.
Gao Ze led the Sword Sect disciples, living in the most luxurious inn in the city with his head held high for the first time in a long time.
Zhongdu City was jointly managed by several major sects, so they naturally gave preferential treatment to the disciples of major sects.
Two people per Tian-zi (Sky) room. Ning Ke naturally pulled Lou Yunxiao to form a pair.
After all, he had really gotten addicted to hugging this humanoid body pillow.
At the sect, when he had nothing to do at night, he would sneak into Lou Yunxiaoās room to sleep with him.
At first, Lou Yunxiao refused and scolded him several times.
But alas, Ning Ke was shameless.
Over time, Lou Yunxiao accepted it too.
After all, they were both men, no big deal.
Besides… he actually wasn’t that repulsed.
Ning Xiaoxiao went shopping with the female disciples. Ning Ke took Lou Yunxiao onto the street, holding Lou Yunxiaoās hand tightly with one hand, indifferent to the attention from bystanders.
“Junior Brother, on the boat, you said you had a place you wanted to go.” Lou Yunxiao asked Ning Ke, “Where exactly is it?”
“That place only opens at night.” Ning Ke smiled mischievously, “It’s not time yet.”
“Let’s stroll around first.”
Ning Ke dragged Lou Yunxiao to eat all the delicious food on the whole street. Basically, he took a bite, and threw the rest to Lou Yunxiao to finish.
Then he would go find other delicious food himself.
Fortunately, Lou Yunxiao could eat.
Otherwise, if it were someone who couldn’t eat, they would have been stuffed to death by him.
On the street with people coming and going, Lou Yunxiao brushed past countless people. He couldn’t see this bustling market; the only thing he could feel was the temperature coming from his palm.
The person who had been holding him all along.
It was… a very reassuring feeling.
“Wow, Sir’s painting skills are superb. The person in this painting really looks like they’re about to come alive!”
“You flatter me. I’m just painting by the roadside to earn some money to barely feed myself. The painting is vivid only because the person being painted has grace.”
“I hope all viewers will support me.”
Hearing this voice, Ning Keās ears perked up instantly.
“Senior Brother, let’s go, let’s ask the old gentleman to draw a portrait for us too!”
“I…” Lou Yunxiao wanted to say that even if painted, he couldn’t see it, but the words that were about to come out turned into a “Okay.”
“Old sir, look, us two, can you paint us in the same picture?”
When the old man looked up and saw them, his originally calm expression turned into shock.
Only thinking that they were such handsome young men. One cold and otherworldly, one bright and moving.
Even though countless cultivators had come to Zhongdu City recently, it was the first time the old man had seen young cultivators as eye-catching as these two.
“I can, but I’m afraid I can’t completely restore the temperament of both of you…”
“It doesn’t matter.” Ning Ke said, “You just need to restore the appearance. I just want to keep this painting as a souvenir of our trip to Zhongdu City.”
“Alright, then you two choose a spot, and I will paint for you.”
Ning Ke then pulled Lou Yunxiao to the other side of the painting stall. Beside them was the bustling lively market, behind them was an antique-style restaurant. He sat on the bluestone steps and pulled Lou Yunxiao to sit down too.
“Junior Brother, us sitting on the ground seems a bit inappropriate.”
In Lou Yunxiaoās impression, the person in the painting should choose the most upright posture, posing in the best-looking way. How could it be as casual as Ning Ke?
“Oh my, Senior Brother, you are just too stiff.” Ning Ke forcibly pulled Lou Yunxiao down to sit, holding the person’s hand, resting his head on the person’s shoulder, saying, “Clearly just a teenager, acting like you’re several hundred years old. People need to learn to relax, relax, you know?”
“…” Being held by him, Lou Yunxiao lowered his head slightly, his cheek brushing against Ning Keās hair.
A bit itchy.
He reached out, fumbling to tidy up Ning Keās hair that was messy due to the movement, saying helplessly, “Okay, I know.”
And the painter old gentleman happened to memorize this scene. In the subsequent painting, he did his best to restore Ning Keās roguish playfulness and Lou Yunxiaoās gentle doting.
In the corner of the restaurant in the busy market, two teenagers leaned on each other, the years quiet and peaceful.
Ning Ke got the painting, smiling with satisfaction until his eyes curved, and gave the old gentleman double the payment.
Then he mounted the painting and put it into a painting tube, handing it to Lou Yunxiao.
“Senior Brother, from now on you will take care of this painting. If lost, I’ll hold you accountable!”
Lou Yunxiao carefully put the painting into his Qiankun Bag, replying with an “Mm.”
But he didn’t notice the trace of unbearableness in Ning Keās gaze looking at him.
After the Sect Grand Competition, they would enter the secret realm.
And this secret realm was his burial place.
To protect Lou Yunxiao, he would self-destruct his body, leaving not even a complete corpse.
This was his second stage mission.
So, leaving this painting could be considered fulfilling the dream he promised Lou Yunxiao earlierāthat he could see his appearance after recovering his sight.
When night fell, Lou Yunxiao finally knew where Ning Ke wanted to take him.
It was exactly the most famous Flower Street and Willow Lane in Zhongdu City.
Walking on the street, one could smell waves of rouge and floral scents.
The coquettish laughter of women and the soft voices of young male prostitutes surrounded the ears.
Calling them “Little Immortal Master,” throwing handkerchiefs at them, leading them inside.
“Junior Brother…” How had Lou Yunxiao ever been to such a place? At this moment, he couldn’t help tightening his grip on Ning Keās hand, saying, “This place isn’t for decent people.”
“If one blindly indulges in lust, it will affect the stability of the Dao heart and be detrimental to cultivation.”
“So, let’s… let’s hurry back to the inn.”
“If a man isn’t lustful, is he still a man?” Ning Ke dragged Lou Yunxiao inside, saying, “Besides, you don’t cultivate the Heartless Dao, coming once or twice won’t hurt!”
Ning Ke had wanted to experience this ancient brothel for a long time.
Reading about the vivid scenes in books, now that he was forced to transmigrate here, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip if he didn’t look around?
Lou Yunxiao was shocked by his sentence “If a man isn’t lustful, is he still a man” to the point of forgetting to resist.
The Little Junior Brother who usually focused more on cultivation and would reject confessions from female disciples in the sect, actually had such thoughts?
“Two Little Immortal Masters, please come inside~” The procuress walked over, inviting them into a private room.
During this time, many sect disciples had come to Zhongdu City, mostly green boys looking for novelty. Not only were they good-looking, but they also had money. The procuress and the girls truly loved such Little Immortal Masters, so they all scrambled to serve them.
So before Ning Ke could ask for anyone, a group of beautiful girls filed in.
Playing the qin, pouring wine, serving foodāin a short while, they heated up the atmosphere in the private room.
Ning Ke drank wine, chatting and laughing with the girls.
Over there, Lou Yunxiaoās face was frosty, silently rejecting everyone’s approach.
Ning Ke said, “My Senior Brother is too serious, everyone don’t mind.”
Then the girls all smiled and gathered around him, telling him interesting stories.
Ning Ke smiled until his eyes curved, feeling full of joy.
After all, it was his first time being served by so many sisters with gentle voices and soft bodies. For a mother-womb single, this treatment was truly something hard to encounter even in dreams.
For a moment, he indulged in it.
“Come, Little Immortal Master, eat a grape.” The girls also liked Ning Ke very much.
Touching a grape, she wanted to feed it into Ning Keās mouth.
Ning Ke was also dizzy from drinking, said “ah,” opened his mouth, and waited to be fed.
Seeing that the scallion-white fingers were about to touch the crimson lips.
Suddenly, a gust of wind hit.
Ning Ke was pulled into Lou Yunxiaoās arms.
Lou Yunxiaoās voice carried anger for the first time, questioning:
“Junior Brother, how long are you going to fool around?”
