The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 554 - 318 He Lao Fourth

Ning Xiaoxian glared angrily at Tu Jin, blaming him for being a bad influence on the kid. Tu Jin replied innocently, "After we went in, it took some effort to find out where those Immortal Bandits reserved their bath pool. The pool in the courtyard next to theirs was empty, so Qi Zai and I booked it. They had set up a soundproof Barrier, but it couldn’t stop my avatar."

He continued, "I heard those bandits say that He Lao Si, although he also hides his fence contacts from them, has settled down in this city and even keeps a pretty little sweetheart."

"You didn’t happen to also find out where He Lao Si’s little lover lives, did you?"

"Mission accomplished." Tu Jin appeared to be in an unusually good mood, "It’s the house in a small alley on the north side of Kashna City, the one with the Dragon Blood Tree at the front door."

She hummed lightly, "Not bad, not bad. But why do the two of you look so pleased with yourselves?" No sooner had she spoken than Qi Zai’s face turned even redder, and his hands seemed unsure where to rest. She read an expression called sheepishness all over the boy’s face.

"It’s nothing." Tu Jin’s face seemed to redden like an aging man; he coughed to cover it up, "I haven’t been near water for a long time, so taking a bath felt quite comfortable. Right?" His last two words were apparently addressed to Qi Zai, the intonation slightly lifted, as if with a hint of warning.

Qi Zai was taken aback and quickly nodded his head.

"A bath felt quite comfortable? I think it’s the extra services enjoyed during the bath that felt quite comfortable, right?" she mused to herself; yet these two guys seemed very clean, as if, even if they’d done something naughty, there wasn’t a hint of the smell on them.

Men, she thought, tossing the last date to Qi Zai and standing up to leave. These things are truly delicious; if dried into date pieces and transported to the inland areas, they would surely be highly popular.

With their pace, even if Kashna City were five or six times larger, reaching the northern part would be swift. Ning Xiaoxian felt something strange all along the way; Qi Zai seemed to be deliberately falling half a step behind, walking alongside Tu Jin, and the two of them would exchange glances from time to time as if sharing a secret. Now, she usually extends her Divine Thought out of habit, so the actions of these two behind her were all within her field of vision.

One should know that Qi Zai was initially captured by Tu Jin with a Soul-shattering Roar and had always held a grudge against him. While both served Ning Xiaoxian, their relationship had never been particularly harmonious. So why the change in attitude today?

She shared her suspicion with Changtian. Qiongqi laughed out loud: "What could promote friendship between men more than visiting brothels together?"

Ali, who was right there chasing a Carriage Mushroom, asked curiously, "What does it mean to visit brothels? Can I go with Brother Ning Yu when he comes back?"

Ning Xiaoxian was greatly embarrassed; Changtian coughed softly, and Qiongqi quickly bluffed his way out of it.

As soon as Ning Xiaoxian and her companions reached the north of the city, they knew that He Lao Si really doted on his little lover. Sheltered by a huge wall of weathering rock, no desert storms could penetrate; in front of the mountain there was an oasis with-acres of azure waves for enjoyment. The buildings here were built of mud bricks, square and sturdy, but mostly hidden among the green trees, with lush vegetation and seemingly specialized sanitation workers, truly a sight of Little Jiangnan in the Northern Land, and most importantly, the security looked good, at least a rarity in such a chaotic place like Kashna.

This kind of house, backed by mountains and facing water, would not be cheap in Kashna City, and this entire northern residential area being on the downwind side likely meant it was inhabited by wealthy families. It’s like living within the third or fifth ring road in Beijing, something many ordinary people would envy to the point their eyes might pop out.

Standing outside He Lao Si’s secret love nest, Changtian sensed the atmosphere in the courtyard and said, "He hasn’t returned yet; there’s only one person in there."

Upon hearing this, Ning Xiaoxian smiled, stepped forward, and knocked gently on the pitch-black door. They were here to attract bad luck, not to steal, so there was no need to sneak over the wall. Only three knocks were made when the door was abruptly pulled open with a creak, and a rosy-cheeked young girl cheerfully said, "Why have you come back early to...?"

She had intended to fling herself onto the person opening the door, her hands already reaching out, but she stopped them mid-air, evidently realizing that the visitor was not the male owner of the house.

Ning Xiaoxian also widened her eyes, cursing silently, "This He Lao Si is too shameless, actually going for someone so young!"
