“Beautiful?” Flames nearly erupted from Ye Feng’s eyes.
Is this guy trying to add “meat” to my hotpot?
He had spent over an hour painstakingly preparing the hotpot.
“Do you even realize how much damage a few insects and a pile of leaves can do to a hotpot?” Ye Feng roared, pointing angrily at Li She, who was still striking seductive poses.
Li She froze, her face filled with disbelief.
In the past, her seduction tactics had proven irresistible to almost everyone.
She had even assassinated a Martial General Realm expert from Great Qin using this very method.
Yet here was Ye Feng, a mere Late-stage Martial Spirit Realm youth, completely ignoring her beauty.
Left with no other choice, Li She decided to reveal her hand and attempt to recruit Ye Feng.
But before she could speak, Ye Feng cut her off.
“Compensate!” “You must compensate me!” Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Li She felt awkward.
As an assassin, she was a true “daylight tribe” member.
After all, theirs was a profession where one licked blood from the blade, and any mission could be her last.
The most agonizing thing in life, she believed, was dying with money left unspent!
Now that she had to compensate Ye Feng, where was she supposed to get the money?
“Young Master, I don’t have a single coin on me,” Li She said, her eyes darting about as she spoke pitifully.
“How about I compensate you with myself, Young Master?
What do you say?” “Alright!” Li She had expected Ye Feng to refuse, but to her surprise, he nodded and agreed.
Hmph, you dirty man!
You’re just lusting after my body, pretending to be virtuous!
Li She inwardly sneered, yet her face maintained a delicate, pitiful expression.
With a thought, a coil of jet-black hemp rope materialized in Ye Feng’s hand.
This was the counterfeit Immortal Binding Rope he had just redeemed from the Salted Fish Mall.
Though it cost only 1 Salted Fish Point, any Martial Artist below the Martial General Realm bound by it would be completely immobilized—unable to move a muscle, let alone fight.
Unbeknownst to Li She, the moment she appeared, Ye Feng had already used the Salted Fish System to discern her name and cultivation level.
Damn pervert!
You’ve got some tricks up your sleeve!
Li She didn’t resist; she had been through similar situations before.
But the next instant, as the Immortal Binding Rope tightened around her, Li She’s expression twisted in shock.
A powerful binding force swept over her entire body, rendering her utterly immobile.
“Wh-what is this?” Li She asked Ye Feng, her face pale with terror.
However, Ye Feng completely ignored her question, instead dragging Li She out of the room.
“Where are you taking me?” Li She’s eyes were filled with fear.
Ye Feng’s methods were far too strange and unpredictable.
Li She would rather face an expert in the Martial General Realm than confront Ye Feng.
This time, Ye Feng didn’t ignore her question.
He turned his head, a faint smile playing on his lips.
“Of course, I’m taking you to repay your debt!” As Ye Feng emerged from the room, dragging a strikingly beautiful young woman behind him, the Ye Clan members instantly showed expressions of curiosity.
However, due to Ye Feng’s status as a Direct Disciple of the Moon Shadow Sect, no one dared approach him to ask questions.
Only Yue Ya, who had been waiting nearby in Ye Feng’s courtyard, her face flashing with jealousy, quietly followed them.
“Why does this road feel so familiar?” After walking for some time, Yue Ya, hidden in the shadows, finally realized.
This, isn’t this the road to Drunken Immortal Tower?
A startling thought flashed through Yue Ya’s mind, yet she dared not believe it.
“Aiyo, Young Master Ye, just as they say, ‘wild flowers always smell sweeter than garden blooms’!
You’ve only had Yue Ya home a few days, and already you’re bringing us business?” The Brothel Madam of Drunken Immortal Tower hurried to greet Ye Feng the moment she saw him, teasingly.
“What nonsense?” Ye Feng glanced indifferently at the Brothel Madam before pointing to the struggling Li She on the ground.
“I’m here to do business!” “This girl owes me a considerable sum, so I had no choice but to sell her here to settle her debt!” “Look at her figure, her delicate features—I’ll let you have her for just fifty Low-grade Spirit Stones.
A bargain for you!” The Brothel Madam’s face fell as she appraised Li She.
Li She was indeed attractive, but she was nowhere near Yue Ya’s caliber.
Yue Ya had originally been sold for only ten Low-grade Spirit Stones.
Now, Ye Feng was demanding fifty.
How could the madam agree?
“Young Master Ye, Drunken Immortal Tower is fully booked recently.
We’re not taking new girls!” The Brothel Madam forced a smile as she spoke.
Although news of Ye Feng becoming a Direct Disciple of the Moon Shadow Sect had spread far and wide, Drunken Immortal Tower had the backing of the Imperial Dynasty and wasn’t particularly intimidated by the sect.
Moreover, how could the foremost sect in Wulian Prefecture possibly wage war over a disciple’s dealings with a brothel?
“Very well!” Having expected Ye Feng to refuse to back down, the Brothel Madam was stunned when he simply nodded.
But before she could rejoice, Ye Feng’s next words drained the color from her face.
“I forgot to mention this to the Prefecture Governor last time we met,” Ye Feng said.
“The Drunken Immortal Tower has terrible hygiene, safety, and service!” “I’ll go find Wu Prefecture Governor right away and have him order you to suspend operations for rectification!” “Maybe you’ll even get a few days off!” The Brothel Madam’s expression shifted instantly.
No longer daring to refuse, she reluctantly accepted Li She.
Ye Feng took the fifty low-grade Spirit Stones from her and immediately recycled them.
Ding!
Congratulations, Host!
Recycling successful.
Gained 500 Salted Fish Points.
After deducting the cost of hotpot ingredients, Ye Feng, who had earned a net profit of 350 Salted Fish Points, grinned widely as he prepared to leave, not forgetting to remind her: “Brothel Madam, this girl’s mental state isn’t stable.
If you untie her, she might injure your customers.
Better keep her restrained!” “Who knows, it might even become the Drunken Immortal Tower’s signature attraction!” The Brothel Madam’s eyes lit up, and she thanked him profusely, completely ignoring Li She’s desperate cries.
Nearby, Yue Ya watched the scene unfold, her face ashen with terror.
She never imagined Ye Feng’s methods could be so sinister!
“Zhou Changshu, where are you?
Come and take me away!” At that moment, Yue Ya felt an inexplicable longing for Zhou Changshu.
Back at the Ye Clan, Ye Feng, flush with Salted Fish Points earned, gleefully set up another hotpot feast.
As for Li She?
Regardless of which faction had sent her, the lack of any response meant they wouldn’t dare send more assassins anytime soon.
This allowed him to enjoy a bit more freedom for the time being.
In a cave within Thousand Caves Mountain, the faces of the assassins from the Great Han Imperial Dynasty were grim.
While Li She’s combat prowess wasn’t top-tier among them, her exceptional seduction techniques had made her virtually infallible against men.
Yet now, she was completely missing, her fate unknown!
Most crucially, when Li She infiltrated the Ye Clan, the other assassins had distracted Ye Nanshan, drawing him away.
“Li She’s life token hasn’t shattered, proving she’s still alive,” the elder leading the group said gravely.
“But where could she be?” After all, silently subduing Li She, a late-stage Martial Spirit Realm cultivator, without even a whisper of a struggle, was beyond even a late-stage Martial General Realm powerhouse like himself.
Meanwhile, the Li She whom the assassins were anxiously discussing was trapped in the Drunken Immortal Tower, forced to entertain guests by the Brothel Madam, who was desperate to recoup her losses.
Just then, a middle-aged assassin with a guileless face suddenly stood up, his voice tinged with urgency.
“My lord, this endless waiting isn’t getting us anywhere.
