Chapter 621 - 369: Hundred Demons Hundred Flavors (Part 2)
And this wasn’t the first time she had come looking for him. He had no idea how she’d gotten away from Zhao Feixiong before, but she’d insisted on finding him, claiming she wanted to speak with Zou Feng alone.
But to avoid any compromising situations, Zou Feng gave her no opportunity to be alone with him.
This dragon woman was truly unhinged.
Zou Feng even began to wonder, ’Is she deliberately trying to make me and Zhao Feixiong turn on each other?’
Su Qingyu, however, had no such scruples. Instead, she goaded Zou Feng, "Even if you’re not interested in her body, you should at least trick her out of the Dragon Poison..."
Zou Feng shot Su Qingyu an annoyed glare before turning to the window. "Ninth Princess, please leave. We have nothing to discuss."
"And let me be clear: Brother Zhao is my dearest friend, my sworn brother. I will absolutely never do anything to wrong him!"
Unexpectedly, Luo Zhenzhen just sneered. "Hypocrite! You’re obviously into me... Don’t think I can’t tell!"
Zou Feng looked completely exasperated, but he had to admit her intuition was incredibly sharp.
Still, Luo Zhenzhen had only guessed half of the truth.
The first time they met, the look Zou Feng gave Luo Zhenzhen was indeed filled with interest.
But it had nothing to do with love at first sight. It was purely because he’d discovered Luo Zhenzhen was a poison dragon, and her toxins would be of immense benefit to him.
He never imagined this would lead to a misunderstanding, causing Luo Zhenzhen to pester him endlessly.
What was even more absurd was that Luo Gang had already set her wedding date with Zhao Feixiong. Why was she still trying to stir up trouble? What was she even trying to achieve?
’Does she have to make a cuckold out of Zhao Feixiong before she’s satisfied?’
But regardless of what Luo Zhenzhen was up to, Zou Feng was determined to stay out of it.
"Ninth Princess, there’s no point in saying more. Please, leave!"
Luo Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment before finally spitting out, "You... will regret this!"
Zou Feng couldn’t be bothered to reply.
Fortunately, after saying her piece, Luo Zhenzhen finally left.
Once Luo Zhenzhen disappeared down the street, Su Qingyu sighed. "The Dragon Poison... slipped through our fingers again..."
"Palace Master, you know I could never do that. Why waste your breath!"
Su Qingyu shrugged. "I was just kidding. But I am a little disappointed. After all, the Dragon Race of Yu Long Lake has sworn allegiance to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, so we can’t touch them!"
"Tell me, wouldn’t it be great if they rebelled?"
Su Qingyu’s idea was incredibly dangerous. She actually hoped the Dragon Race of Yu Long Lake would rebel, so she could refine and absorb them without any reservations.
Zou Feng immediately shook his head. "Don’t say that. If the Dragon Race of Yu Long Lake really rebelled, the Celestial Hearing Tower would likely fall. The Tribulation Cultivators could then launch a full-scale invasion without restraint. We’d have trouble just escaping with our lives..."
"It wouldn’t be that bad. The Celestial Hearing Tower isn’t so easily breached. Now, if Yu Lingxiao were to rebel, that would be a different story."
Although Su Qingyu was just speaking casually, Zou Feng truly felt a bit more Tense.
’After all, no matter who rebels, my situation will become extremely precarious.’
’But it probably won’t happen. The Celestial Hearing Tower has been fine for years. It can’t be that the moment I’m stationed here, something major goes down.’
’You’d have to be unbelievably unlucky to hit that jackpot...’
As he was mulling this over, Zou Feng’s vision suddenly blurred. He was hallucinating again.
The Resentful Soul Poison was acting up again.
In the Illusion Realm, the Su Qingyu in the room had become a monster with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a spider.
She was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws, looking like she wanted to devour him alive.
In Zou Feng’s eyes, however, for a Su Qingyu who was already a Top-Grade Prison Guard, suddenly gaining eight legs just meant four times the pleasure.
Still, he wasn’t careless enough to indulge in an Illusion Realm for a minor fetish. He immediately activated his Cultivation Skill and transferred the effects of the Resentful Soul Poison elsewhere.
Speaking of which, the Resentful Soul Poison had been flaring up with increasing frequency lately.
Its effects were also clearly growing stronger.
This meant that the White Impermanence who had used this poison was getting closer, and was likely performing rituals from time to time to strengthen the poison and torment him.
’No doubt about it, that White Impermanence must be here in the Jade Dragon Marketplace...’
"We’ve got a bite!"
Not long after he’d transferred the poison’s side effects, Zou Feng suddenly sensed something.
He had also poisoned that Female Celestial Soldier and could vaguely sense her emotional fluctuations through it.
Just now, Zou Feng had sensed the Female Celestial Soldier’s emotions suddenly relax, no longer as tense as they had been.
This suggested she had likely returned to her hideout and, with other Celestial Soldiers and Generals around, felt safe enough to let her guard down.
Hearing this, Su Qingyu immediately pulled her feet out of the washing basin. "Let’s go!"
Su Qingyu looked like she was heading out for a feast.
Zou Feng quickly reminded her, "Palace Master, don’t be careless. There might be a White Impermanence..."
"With our combined strength, you think we can’t handle a White Impermanence?"
Ever since she and Zou Feng had miraculously turned the tide with their divine dance-battle fusion, Su Qingyu’s confidence was soaring. She didn’t even bat an eye at Dao Foundation Realm Late Stage Tribulation Cultivators anymore.
’Theoretically, the two of them didn’t need to fear a White Impermanence, but what if there was more than one...’
’In any case, we’ll check the situation first. If we really can’t handle it on our own, we can just call for backup.’
Without another word, the two of them set off.
To avoid alerting the enemy and drawing the attention of the hidden lookouts that were surely scattered everywhere, Zou Feng and Su Qingyu chose not to fly over conspicuously.
Instead, they decided to simply walk, like a normal pair of Dao Companions out for a leisurely stroll.
Relying on his perception of the poison he’d administered, Zou Feng knew they weren’t far and there was no need to hurry.
After casually strolling through several streets, a brightly lit brothel with a constant stream of patrons appeared before them in the Jade Dragon Marketplace.
It was perfectly normal for a marketplace to have a brothel; in fact, there were several.
Some brothels were even run by the Demon Race.
The one now standing before Zou Feng and Su Qingyu was one such establishment.
Zou Feng had long heard that in these Demon Race brothels, there were almost no Human Race women. The girls were all various types of demon women, some fully transformed into human shape, others not quite.
’And the place where my bait ended up is right here.’
’So some of the Yama Underworld’s Tribulation Cultivators are hiding in a Demon Race brothel?’
’Are the demons in this brothel unaware, or are they already in collusion with the Yama Underworld?’
"Tch. Why would it be a place like this?"
Su Qingyu frowned, clearly displeased.
After all, just barging in would be a bad idea. The best approach was to pose as a customer and investigate from the inside.
As a Female Cultivator, she could try to pretend she had... peculiar tastes, but these were demons with Cultivation. They could spot a customer’s true preferences at a glance.
Zou Feng, however, didn’t have to pretend. While his tastes weren’t as extreme as Wang Xingjian’s, if a demon woman was fully transformed and indistinguishable from a human woman, that was certainly acceptable.
The demons welcoming guests at the door had mostly retained only a few of their pre-transformation features, which was also acceptable.
For example, some had kept only their fox tails, cat ears, or bird wings.
’These features didn’t cause any discomfort; on the contrary, they added a certain appeal.’
"You go. I’ll definitely arouse suspicion if I go in," Su Qingyu said decisively. "I’ll rush in once the fighting starts... Just try not to get too carried away."
"...It’s not like I’m actually going in there to *do* anything... In that case, Palace Master, please wait here for a moment."
With that, Zou Feng stepped out from the shadows and swaggered toward the Demon Race brothel known as Hundred Demons Hundred Flavors.
Just as he was about to reach the entrance, however, Zou Feng caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance out of the corner of his eye.
Although the person had clearly undergone a simple Disguise, the technique was so clumsy that Zou Feng recognized the skulking figure at a glance.
’Who else could it be but the soon-to-be-married Zhao Feixiong?’
