Chapter 7: Ai

"Hey Chen, I found something. Come check it out!"

"What is it?!"

"Corpses!"

"I'm coming!"

Two young fellows wearing green robes with a cloud emblem stood in front of incomplete corpses.

"The attack was strong enough to not only obliterate his opponent but also destroy the trees behind him. That's at least an attack from an ordinary Core Condensing expert. It shouldn't be our target."

"Chen, don't forget what the Grand Elder told us. This Zixin is presumably strong enough to battle a Core Condensing Realm puppet so it might be him. Let's continue searching."

The Greencloud Sect's disciples had already caught onto Zixin's tail and it was only a matter of time before they caught him. 

…

"Guo, we've been travelling for two days now, how long till we reach your sect? And you still haven't told me why those guys were chasing you!" said Zixin while running. Guo was the name of the guy he saved. 

"Brother Zixin, relax. Bei City is just ahead. Once we're there, someone will escort me to the sect. As for why I was being chased, isn't it because I snatched a treasure from them and they wanted it back and it's an extraordinary treasure." said Guo in a tired voice. 

The two actually reached Bei City in the evening when the city gates were about to be closed. Guo paid the entrance fee and the two were allowed inside the city. Once inside, a completely new world was opened up to Zixin. The city was still bustling with activity even though it was already getting dark. 

Hawkers and merchants crowded the side streets and sold all kinds of stuff like ginseng, stones, old treasures and other stuff. 

"Brother Zixin, is this your first time in the city?"

"Yes."

"Then allow me to take you on a tour."

"No tour. Just take me to the person who'll take us to your sect. Stop wasting time." said Zixin. 

"Okay, don't get angry Brother Zixin, I'll take you there now. Follow me closely and don't get lost."

…

After many twists and turns, Guo and Zixin finally arrived at their destination. It was a place with awfully quiet streets and red lanterns lit up the path. 

"Are you sure this is the place?" asked Zixin with doubt.

"Yes, now follow me."

The duo then walked on the streets of this place, once in a while, they'd bump into a gorgeous lady wearing revealing clothes. Zixin had to calm himself many times before he did something he'd enjoy and regret. The deeper they went into this red lantern place, the more women they came across, this went on until they reached a pagoda designed building with six floors. 

"Let's go in." said Guo as the two guards opened the doors for him. Zixin sighed and entered the pagoda. Once inside, there was a strong smell of alcohol, smoke and another sweet scent that Zixin was cancelling for the first time. The smoke was light pink in colour, making this place look like a paradise for those who came to have a good time. 

"Greetings Young Masters, are you here for business or pleasure?" a young lady wearing a tight dress that exposed her sexy figure greeted them. 

"I want to see the Manager of this place." said Guo while showing the girl his token which was crimson red in colour and had the word "Blood" written on it.

"Young Masters, please follow me to the sixth floor. That's where the Madam usually resides." said the young lady as she gestured with her hand. Each hallway they passed, they'd hear the sound of women and men moaning. Both Guo's and Zixin's faces turned red from these sounds. And the farther up they went, the quieter it became. 

From the fourth floor onwards, it was completely silent until they reached the sixth floor, which was dead silent.

Knock! Knock! Knock! 

"Madam, there's someone here to see you." said the young girl. It was silent for 5few seconds before the door was opened. A voluptuous, beautiful and sexy middle aged woman stood in front of the trio. She had brown eyes, black hair and smooth skin. 

"Who wants to see me?"

Zixin and Guo were enchanted by her beauty and only came back to their senses when the lady spoke. Guo clumsily took out his token and showed it to the lady. The lady's eyes widened slightly in surprise. 

"Ai greets the Holy Son. I am honoured to be blessed by your presence." said the lady while the young girl just knelt and said nothing. 

"I want you to take us back to the sect in the quickest way possible." said Guo in a different tone, he was like a completely different person. 

"The quickest I could do is tomorrow's night, is that fine with you?"

"Tomorrow night is good. Also, we haven't eaten or showered in two days so you know what to do."

"Yes, Holy Son. I'll provide you with the best services I can offer."

"Good. One last thing, this is Brother Zixin, make sure to impress him with your services otherwise I'll get angry."

"Yes, Holy Son."

…

Zixin, who had just finished taking a long bath, entered his room to finally get a good night's sleep. Lady Ai had provided separate rooms for both him and Guo. It had been a long time since Zixin got a good night's sleep but once he opened the door to his room, he was immediately turned on by the sight in front of him. 

Lady Ai was currently laying naked on his bed and seemed to be waiting for him to enter the room.

"I'm glad that Young Master Zixin likes what he sees. I'm here to help Young Master Zixin get a good night's sleep, I hope you won't reject it." said Lady Ai seductively to the naked Zixin who was standing at the door. 

'Guo, oh Guo, from today onward, if someone bullies you, I'm gonna take care of them for you. From this moment onward, me and you are blood brothers!' said Zixin inwardly as he entered the room and closed the door. 

"If I were to reject you then it would mean I'm gay which I'm not. I'm straight, straight like the spear of heaven."

"Young Master Zixin, don't be shy, come here."

"With pleasure!"
