Book 8: Chapter 17: Helping Fallen Women
“This is the last place.”
In the middle of the night, Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan directly drove Tranquil Autumn Water and slowly landed outside a city of the Wu Kingdom in Liu Province.
“A few days ago, I heard that a guest in the Pleasure Realm was drunk and disappeared on the way home. The next day, he was found hanging on a clothes rail in the back alley of a house. No one knows how he got in there.”
When Bai Qiuran said this, Jiang Lan suddenly flinched. She said:
“Qiu Ran, you go in first, I’m waiting for you outside.”
Since being frightened by a ghost once in Fusang Ghost Village, Jiang Lan has been terrified of such things.
“You can play with the most poisonous thing, and your cultivation level far exceeds any Soul Taker.”
Bai Qiuran looked a little funny at his wife.
“How can this little ghost make you so afraid?”
“Although the poison is dangerous, I can control it. Although the Soul Taker is strong, I am stronger.”
Jiang Lan shook her head and said:
“But these ghosts, I don’t know when they will suddenly appear in front of me and startle me. For the safety of this city, let’s forget it.”
Jiang Lan was quite self-aware, knowing that when she was frightened, she couldn’t control her body and power.
Bai Qiuran thought shamelessly, and then said:
“That’s all right, Lan, just wait for me here… But what if the ghost found you when you’re alone?”
Jiang Lan hesitated, then replied:
“I flew to the clouds, it won’t follow me, right?”
“Of course, that won’t happen. There is no place to hide in the empty space above the clouds, so it won’t scare people.”
Bai Qiuran nodded.
“Then you go up, I will come to you after I finish processing.”
“Well, be careful.”
Jiang Lan flew into the sky, while Bai Qiuran turned and paced into the city. As he walked, a folding fan appeared in his hand shaking, and then his appearance, hair, and color also changed slightly.
When he entered the city, he had become a young man who came out to have fun at night.
He walked straight to the Pleasure Realm where the incident happened. Because of the homicide in the past few days, the business here was depressed a lot at night. Even if someone came, he only dared to act in a hurry or stay here for one night, did not dare to leave in the middle of the night.
When Bai Qiuran passed by, all the guests who were supposed to go had already entered, but a bunch of girls from the Kamasutra Sect were still available. They leaned on the door, chatting to see if there were any guests tonight.
Then they saw Bai Qiuran walking towards here.
“What a handsome boy!”
Seeing Bai Qiuran coming over, the girls’ eyes lit up.
When the girls of the Kamasutra Sect looked at men, it was like a group of men looking at beauties. Seeing Bai Qiuran coming, these girls not only were not shy but also took the initiative to surround him, trying to attract him while molesting and taking advantage.
And Bai Qiuran also pretended to be unable to resist, letting them pull him closer to the store. When the managers came out, he showed them the token that You Meiqiao had given him this time.
As soon as they saw the token, these girls immediately became honest, and the expressions of some people immediately became dull.
Upon seeing this, Bai Qiuran simply talked to them about the essence of the Kamasutra Sect cultivation.
Ever since, a bunch of witches and bitches just listened to an old man giving a lecture to themselves in their own custom shop. A brothel instantly became like a private school.
Bai Qiuran kept talking until midnight, and the girls were so utterly drunk that they tried to keep him again and again, but for the sake of business, he had to leave.
Stepping out of the Pleasure Realm, Bai Qiuran pretended to be overwhelmed by alcohol and stumbling forward on the street following the man who had happened.
When he came near the house where the man’s body was found, he supported the courtyard wall of the man’s house, bowed his head, and retched loudly a few times.
Shaking his head, Bai Qiuran raised his head. There was a white shadow passing by on the street. He blinked, but the white shadow disappeared again.
“What the hell?”
He muttered in a low voice, then he leaned on the wall and continued to stumble forward.
When the wind blows, the windows of several small buildings next to it open and close. In a direction that Bai Qiuran didn’t notice, a woman in white clothes with a pale face and indistinct face was standing in a window, twisting her neck to watch him.
“Hiss–”
Suddenly a cold wind blew from behind, and the coolness poured directly into Bai Qiuran’s neck into his clothes. He touched his neck and glanced at his back subconsciously.
A woman with no pupils, wide white eyes, a pale face, and loose hair appeared in front of him, only a few inches away from him.
“Wow!”
Bai Qiuran yelled.
“Ghost!”
While yelling, he raised his fist, and the iron fist wrapped in True Qi suddenly knocked the white-clothed woman to the ground.
——————
Jiang Lan was in the sky until it was about to dawn, and then she saw Bai Qiuran stepping on the flying sword, slowly drilling out of the clouds, and coming to her side.
“Is it done?”
She flew over and asked quickly.
Bai Qiuran showed a stone in his hand, and there was a soul shining in it.
“I asked Wise Immortal to torture it for me, and it took a while.”
“The results of it?”
“This ghost ran out of the Underworld and came to the mortal world five days ago.”
Wise Immortal said:
“The Underworld was indeed still in chaos at that time, and the Soul Takers didn’t have the energy to manage all these ghosts, so it took advantage of this time to escape.”
“Wait a minute, from the Underworld to the mortal world means that it is already crossing the distance between the two worlds. Even Soul Takers had to rely on the blessings of Heaven to be able to cross freely.”
Upon hearing Wise Immortal’s words, Jiang Lan said:
“How did a little ghost come to the mortal world from the Underworld?”
“It said that a terrifying demon god opened a spatial passage leading to the mortal world in the Underworld, and it followed that passage to the mortal world.”
Wise Immortal thought for a while and added another sentence.
“According to the situation I checked with Great Wisdom, it should not be lying.”
“I think I have to find some time to visit the Underworld.”
Bai Qiuran looked up at the sky, and then said to Jiang Lan:
“But Lan, let’s go to Kamasutra Sect first to inform You Meiqiao.”
“Ok.”
The two of them returned to the Kamasutra Sect with the ghost and Wise Immortal, who had become bound equipment, and informed You Meiqiao of the result.
“Thank you, Master’s husband and Senior Jiang Lan.”
She thanked the two, and then said:
“It’s better for you two to stay in the Kamasutra Sect. Let me show our hospitality. Master’s husband, you are now half of the Kamasutra Sect. It’s okay to treat this place as a family.”
“No, no, we still have things to do.”
Bai Qiuran waved his hand and asked:
“By the way, do you know what happened to the monster raid of the Heavenly Demon Sect?”
