Chapter 1843 - 1844: Exotic Bar
Although the Northwest region is impoverished and various industries are extremely underdeveloped, because the snow mountain scenery here is beautiful and is a world-famous tourist destination, the entertainment industry is quite developed.
Especially the local-themed bars, which are packed every night.
Tonight is naturally no exception.
The first bar that Ye Xuan and his group of five visited was the one Ye Lang came to last night, named the Xiangxiang Rendezvous.
Xiangxiang Rendezvous, just four simple words, yet filled with a sense of enticing excitement.
The atmosphere in the bar certainly lived up to the name.
As soon as the group entered the bar, they were greeted by a mixture of perfumes, and at a glance, the bar, which covers several hundred or even thousands of square meters, was already crowded with people.
Revelers, male and female, were dancing wildly in the dance floor.
Some opportunistic hands took advantage of the chaos to misbehave, while those being misbehaved against pretended as if nothing had happened.
As the saying goes, Zhou Yu hits Huang Gai, one willing to hit, one willing to suffer.
After all, none of these people were particularly upright.
Some were in private booths, having one-on-one conversations, laughing and drinking cheerfully. Where they ended up afterwards, everyone knew well.
There were also some very eerie people.
They were spread throughout the corners of the bar; although the place was immensely noisy and chaotic, it did not affect their extraordinary perceptive abilities.
They were relentlessly observing everyone in the bar, every person coming in from the outside, like scanners hiding in the shadows, not missing anyone.
When Ye Xuan and the others came in, they were immediately scrutinized by these observers.
Feeling the pairs of eyes in the darkness, Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly: "It seems that there are indeed all sorts of people here tonight."
"Isn’t that perfect?" Ye Xiaoying glanced around the bar casually: "If they didn’t come, we would have come here for nothing tonight."
"Sister Ying, that’s not right," Ye Lang raised an eyebrow and said, "In a place like a bar, there’s no such thing as coming for nothing, is there?"
"Even if it’s purely for fun, it’s more entertaining than other places!"
Ye Xiaoying and Chi Lian both frowned, showing displeasure.
Just at that moment.
A fair-skinned, blonde beauty approached Ye Lang, speaking in a coquettish and alluring voice, "Hey handsome, want to grab a drink or two?"
Ye Lang immediately turned on the charm, transforming from a joker to a heartthrob, humorously saying, "If it’s just drinking, you found the wrong person. If drinking is just a prelude, then I’m happy to oblige."
The blonde giggled, "You’re naughty, can’t we just have a simple drink?"
Ye Lang: "Alcohol is poison, who drinks poison without reason?"
Blonde: "What if drinking poison brings happiness?"
Ye Lang nodded: "Then I certainly have to drink."
The blonde’s eyes sparkled: "Then I’ll do my best to make you happy, alright?"
Ye Lang: "I give you the opportunity."
And with that, Ye Lang was taken away, unlikely to return tonight.
Ye Xuan was not in the best mood.
Both handsome guys, but why did Ye Lang get approached by a girl immediately while Ye Xuan hadn’t seen a single person approach him?
"I smell a bit of jealousy." Ye Xiaoying glanced at Ye Xuan, mocking him: "Isn’t it unpleasant being overshadowed by someone else?"
Ye Xuan snapped back to reality and frowned immediately: "What are you saying? What do you take me for?"
Ye Xiaoying sneered: "Who you are is obvious to everyone!"
Ye Xuan glared, about to speak.
Chi Lian interjected: "Sister Ying, you misunderstood Black Emperor. He’s genuinely not interested in the ordinary girls in the bars; whenever we’ve gone on missions to bars, he’s always remained composed!"
Ye Xuan puffed up with pride: "Exactly, what kind of person am I?"
Ye Xiaoying was initially surprised by Chi Lian’s comment but quickly accepted it.
Indeed, the man Ye Xiaoying adored could not be compared to someone like Ye Lang who had no aspirations.
Yet, Ye Xiaoying did not compliment Ye Xuan, merely shrugged her shoulders and proceeded toward their reserved booth.
Chi Lian clung to Ye Xuan’s side gleefully: "Black Emperor, aren’t I great? I spoke up for you!"
"Good for nothing." Ye Xuan pouted: "You traitor, stay away from me!"
"I won’t!" Chi Lian refused to let go, instead getting closer to Ye Xuan: "Even though I’m temporarily acting as Sister Ying’s junior, my heart belongs only to Black Emperor!"
Ye Xuan felt powerless to retort.
Sister, if you don’t let go, no girl will come to flirt with me! Do you really think I’m a saint? Those bars we went to, I remained composed because none of the girls trying to flirt with me were attractive!
Sigh, the past is painful to recall, better left unwritten!
With any hope of being approached by a girl dashed, Ye Xuan sat down and stopped thinking about it, sipping his drink while scanning the surroundings.
This bar tonight was a mix of ordinary and extraordinary people, half and half.
The ordinary patrons were completely unaware that countless dangerous individuals were mingling among them, while the extraordinary ones belonged to several groups.
Ye Xuan first noticed a group of rugged men dressed simply.
They should be the wandering martial practitioners, as well as members of various sects.
Noticing Ye Xuan’s gaze, several martial artists responded by clasping their fists from a distance, some even wanting to get up to greet him.
Ye Xuan gestured for everyone to stay discreet.
Evidently, news of Ye Xuan becoming the new Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch had already reached them.
Shifting his gaze, Ye Xuan saw a group of Western-faced individuals.
This group was quite peculiar.
Everyone was slender whether male or female, and their skin was extremely pale.
Yes, pale.
Almost like seriously ill individuals, with their faces devoid of blood, and their eyes a uniform crimson color.
To regular people, they might seem like eccentric enthusiasts of peculiar fashion, but to Ye Xuan, they looked entirely different.
Because their eerie appearance wasn’t just for show!
The group also noticed Ye Xuan’s gaze.
One young man among them grinned at Ye Xuan provocatively, revealing teeth as white as snow, particularly the four sharp fangs, which were truly shocking!
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Vampires?!"
Ye Xuan was no longer in a good mood.
Just days ago, he had learned about vampires from the Alliance Leader Manual, yet this trip to the Northwest had him encounter them directly.
"Hopefully no grudges will form."
Ye Xuan muttered to himself, hoping to quietly make a fortune and naturally choosing to ignore the young vampire’s provocation, simply shifting his gaze.
He focused on a dark corner where a young man was staring coldly at him.
