Chapter 613: Chapter 242: He Took Me to a Brothel!

The new moon casts a gentle glow, illuminating the eternal snow alone.

Fan Wubing’s finger tapping on the table paused for a moment, then continued unconsciously. He politely praised,

"Fairy Qianqiu truly deserves her spot on the Immortal Rankings."

Wu Qianqiu smiled slightly, "It seems that, ranked fifth as I am, I still haven’t captivated Wu Wangxinger’s heart." With slender fingers, she twirled a lock of long hair over her shoulder. "I wonder if the fourth-ranked Empress Li Qian or the third-ranked Immortal Su Saintess can capture the traveler’s heart?"

The Phoenix Dynasty’s Empress Li Qian, and the Immortal Su Saintess, known for hearing the Dao in the morning and crossing tribulations by evening,

are both prominent figures.

Fan Wubing laughed and asked, "Why not mention the second and first?"

Wu Qianqiu chuckled, "The first-ranked Charm Demon Lord has already failed to enchant the traveler, what more is there to say? But as for her, being a mere demoness, topping the rank is only because she’s enchanted too many hearts, becoming an unforgettable mark. As for the second, a figure like the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable is beyond what I dare to discuss. If you ask me, the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable deserves the top spot, wouldn’t you agree?"

Fan Wubing once had a natural yearning for the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable, but upon learning she was a woman, that yearning became somewhat distorted.

It’s not that he looked down upon a woman as number one in the world, but reality didn’t match expectations, leading to some dissonance.

So, when Wu Qianqiu mentioned the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable, Fan Wubing changed the rhythm of his finger tapping on the table.

He said indifferently, "I suppose the title ’World’s Number One’ adds quite a bit to her reputation."

Wu Qianqiu laughed and asked, "Does that mean the traveler doesn’t acknowledge the beauty of the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable?"

Fan Wubing replied, "I’ve never seen her, so how can I acknowledge it?"

"I see." Wu Qianqiu’s voice had a certain power, making one want to open up to her.

This wasn’t any sort of divine technique at play, but the pure allure of her voice. Its gentle, captivating beauty easily lowered one’s psychological defenses.

Fan Wubing could still tell major issues apart and bluntly asked after some small talk,

"What purpose does Fairy Qianqiu have in inviting me to meet?"

Wu Qianqiu smiled and said, "Since the traveler is here at the Illusion Immortal Tower, how could I, the host, neglect you? If I didn’t personally come out to greet, the traveler might think the Illusion Immortal Tower lacks the courtesy of hospitality."

Fan Wubing naturally wouldn’t believe her words. "Isn’t the fairy concealing something?"

"Could it be that the traveler is unwilling to drink and enjoy the moon with me?" Wu Qianqiu lifted her hand to adjust her hair, her wide, layered sleeves sliding to her elbow, revealing an arm as tender as a lotus root.

This woman was like a walking aphrodisiac!

Clearly, there was nothing alluring or licentious about her appearance or demeanor, yet everything she did seemed to naturally tread on the heart’s strings.

Truly deserving of her title as the leading courtesan.

Fan Wubing softly said, "If the Illusion Immortal Tower were truly a simple brothel, drinking fine wine, enjoying the night moon, you and I parting happily would indeed be a pleasant affair to drool over. But I trust that Fairy Qianqiu never considered the Illusion Immortal Tower just a simple brothel."

Wu Qianqiu laughed and asked, "Why can’t it be a simple brothel?"

Fan Wubing shook his head, "How could a simple brothel harbor a presence that disturbs the fortune of the Immortal Dynasty?"

With these words, in an instant, the surrounding space seemed to sink into mud, dead silent. All the energy and Dao intent were stirred into disruption and heaviness.

In the depths of Fan Wubing’s pupils, there was a faint glow. He thought, "Indeed, the Dao of Obscurity and Clarity! This strength, Wu Qianqiu must be the Terminal Daoist of the Dao of Obscurity and Clarity."

The entire space of the Moon Palace became intricate and chaotic because of Wu Qianqiu’s Dao.

Unlike Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s Four Directions Dao which controls position, Wu Qianqiu’s Dao of Obscurity and Clarity controls the shape of space.

Space has no form, like water.

Water takes shape according to the container, space takes shape according to the content.

To control the shape of space is simply controlling the shape of its contents.

Everything that exists within space is its content.

Fan Wubing laughed and said, "Is this Fairy Qianqiu’s intention? Weren’t we supposed to drink and appreciate the moon together?"

With the initiative in Fan Wubing’s hands, he became instantly fearless.

Wu Qianqiu stood smiling, watching Fan Wubing motionless. After some time, she laughed audibly,

"The traveler truly knows how to joke."

"Whether it’s a joke or not, you know better than I."

Wu Qianqiu’s eyes blinked playfully, "So what does the traveler want this humble girl to do? This humble girl is here in the Illusion Immortal Tower, can’t go anywhere else. Isn’t the traveler free to do as he pleases, why make such jokes with this humble girl?"

Fan Wubing shook his head, "I know the financial backer behind the Illusion Immortal Tower is the Heaven and Earth Bank. I hold no enmity with them and don’t care what their plans are. I’m merely curious, in your view, what kind of impact do you think I could have?"

"The traveler’s question is indeed interesting." Wu Qianqiu shook her head with a smile, "However, I cannot provide an answer to that. Presumably, even Wenxin Heaven and White Jade Capital can’t provide an answer. If they could, they wouldn’t keep silent about your deeds."

"Indeed, one should at least explain what it is they fear." Fan Wubing commented with a smile.

"I truly don’t know if the traveler is feigning ignorance or genuinely unaware." Wu Qianqiu’s gaze held a trace of grievance, "If the traveler would reveal his identity, it wouldn’t leave this little heart of mine restless, unable to fathom its depths. But as no one’s respectful title includes ’Traveler’, so too in intelligence pavilions across the world, there’s no record of ’Wu Wang’."
