Chapter 215 - 115: The Maiden Who Offered Herself Up
Just then, Xu Lei’s hands reached out, covering Zhao Xin’s ears.
"Hmm?" Zhao Xin froze, her lovely eyes instinctively turning to Xu Lei.
Xu Lei froze as well.
He then realized he had overstepped.
"Cover your own ears."
Xu Lei pulled his hands back and transmitted his voice, "You’re still in your stage of celibacy and emotional abstinence."
"Don’t listen to those lewd sounds, or your spiritual resolve may waver!"
"I’ll listen."
"If the Spirit Monster reacts, I will strike!"
Zhao Xin nodded obediently. She raised her fair, delicate hands, plugging her ear canals with her fingers and covering her ears with her palms.
Her lovely, shimmering eyes blinked as she gazed at Xu Lei’s profile. He was listening intently to the sounds from the next room.
She noticed his Adam’s apple bob as he swallowed hard.
She realized that as Xu Lei listened to the intense struggle next door, his own heart was likely far from tranquil.
She couldn’t help but purse her lips, a shy expression on her face.
Listening to the commotion next door, Xu Lei was indeed having a hard time.
After all, the Spirit Monster next door sounded rather... vigorous.
It made the blood and Qi surge through his body.
Fortunately, he was wearing traditional robes, so there were no embarrassing physical signs.
Just then, Xu Lei glanced at Zhao Xin beside him.
For some reason, as he listened to the sounds from the next room, the young woman before him seemed even more alluring and desirable.
Perhaps it was the blush spreading across her cheeks, or the bashfulness in her lovely eyes.
Or perhaps it was what happened after their gazes met.
The shy way she lowered her head was utterly captivating, as if stealing his very soul.
Xu Lei looked away from Zhao Xin.
He just kept listening in silence.
A little over half an hour later...
The first woman must have finished her service.
The woman on whom Xu Lei had previously spread poison finally took her turn.
A while later.
Sure enough, the situation in the next room changed!
The sound of a Spirit Monster’s pained scream rang out.
It was followed by the shriek of a brothel woman.
Xu Lei knew at once. The Spirit Monster must have ingested the poison he’d applied earlier.
Zhao Xin was still blinking her large, beautiful eyes, looking a little dazed and innocent. Xu Lei reached out, grabbed her delicate wrist, and pulled her hand away from her ear.
"I’m making my move!"
Xu Lei transmitted his voice, "Your Cultivation is still low. Don’t get involved."
"Hide here for now and protect yourself."
"Mm-hmm."
Zhao Xin nodded adorably. "Uncle Hui Chi, you be careful too!"
With that, she immediately ran to a corner of the room to hide.
Xu Lei wasted no more words.
He directly channeled his Magical Power.
Countless Lotus Treasure Fragments flew out.
They formed a spinning wheel.
And slashed directly at the wall in front of him.
The walls of this brothel were made of wood.
They weren’t made of stone or concrete.
So they were not very sturdy.
Xu Lei’s spinning lotus wheel spun once and viciously tore it open.
Meanwhile, in the next room, the Demon was gradually revealing its true form.
The two brothel women were terrified.
Xu Lei kicked down the sundered wall and charged in. He immediately noticed the woman he’d paid to be coated in poison.
She looked even older than when Xu Lei had seen her before.
Her Essence Qi must have been drained when she was with the Spirit Monster just now.
The other woman beside her was even more withered and weak.
The poison on the first woman must have interrupted the Demon’s feeding, which was why she had been drained of less Essence Qi than the other.
"Die!"
Xu Lei instantly formed the Lotus Treasure Fragments into the Lotus Drill.
WHIRRING, it spun toward the Spirit Monster.
At this time, Xu Lei did not knock the two women in the room unconscious.
Because when he came to this brothel, Xu Lei had already put on a Human Skin Mask.
Zhao Xin was wearing the Jade Pendant.
Which also altered her appearance slightly.
So they were not afraid of being seen by mortals.
At the same time, Xu Lei could finally see what kind of Demon this Spirit Monster was.
It was a Donkey Demon!
At this moment, it was naturally not wearing any clothes.
It possessed the innate characteristics of a donkey.
Its ’weapon’ was formidable.
However, even though it was poisoned, the Donkey Demon reacted unexpectedly to Xu Lei’s Lotus Drill.
It kicked off with both feet, its body lunging to dodge the fatal blow.
The Lotus Drill only managed to bore into one of its arms.
It failed to pierce its chest.
Just as the Donkey Demon felt a sliver of relief...
It had thought the Lotus Drill would pass right through it.
But with a change of Xu Lei’s Hand Seal, the Lotus Drill instantly transformed into a Lotus Hand.
It violently seized the Donkey Demon’s arm.
Halting its movement.
But to his surprise, the Donkey Demon was incredibly vicious.
Its body shuddered once.
It simply blew its own arm off.
Blood gushed from the severed stump.
At the same time, it leaped, rushing through the passage Xu Lei had created and into the other room.
Xu Lei’s expression changed slightly.
’I thought that once the Demon was poisoned, I could easily take it down by piercing its body with the Lotus Drill.’
’I didn’t expect to fail.’
’And I even let it escape into the next room.’
Ordinarily, this wouldn’t be a problem.
In its current state, it had no chance of escaping.
But Zhao Xin was in that room.
A flicker of worry sparked in Xu Lei’s heart.
’Of course, Hui Ming must have left his daughter a Protective Magical Treasure before he left, right?’
’Zhao Xin shouldn’t be in any real danger.’
’Besides, she’s hiding in the corner.’
’This panicking Donkey Demon probably won’t find her right away,’
’let alone attack her.’
To Xu Lei’s surprise, the Donkey Demon didn’t look for Zhao Xin. It was trying to rush straight for the window.
But Zhao Xin took action. She summoned a Flying Sword and attacked the Donkey Demon.
