Chapter 1397: Daoist Egg Massage

Stealing a statue?!

Inside the Strategist Pavilion, everyone looked at each other, and their expressions reflected bewilderment.

Is that guy really the founder of a Dao Lineage?!

Everyone sneaked glances at Sui Gujin. She was still staring at the screen without any changes in her face.

No one dared to speak, and they simply continued watching.

Ye Guan strolled through bustling streets, occasionally touching and inspecting things. His eyes were filled with wonder, making him look like a country bumpkin entering a big city for the first time.

However, he wasn't pretending. He was genuinely amazed.

The Old Lands were simply beyond anything he had imagined. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the buildings here were constructed from a special type of crystal infused with a pure and potent energy.

In other words, they had to be worth a fortune in the outside world.

Every building was also embedded with multiple arrays. In other words, if an enemy were to attack, the city would instantly transform into a massive fortress!

And that wasn't all...

Beneath his feet, he could feel powerful energy fluctuations.

The Heavenly Capital was far from an ordinary city!

After wandering for a while, Ye Guan stopped and stared at a grand building not far away. It was lavishly decorated, and its golden edifice gleamed under the city lights.

The place was packed with people going in and out, creating a lively atmosphere. He looked at the building's facade and saw two large golden words that said, "Yuxian Residence."

Ye Guan frowned in confusion. He glanced at the people entering and exiting the building. Those going in had faces full of excitement and anticipation, while those coming out looked refreshed and satisfied, with a faint trace of lingering enjoyment in their eyes.

Ye Guan asked, "Master Pagoda, should we check it out?"

Little Pagoda replied, "It's up to you."

Ye Guan nodded. "Alright, I'll listen to you."

With that, he strode into the Yuxian Residence.

Meanwhile, the faces of everyone in the Strategist Pavilion grew strange.

Upon walking inside, Ye Guan was greeted by a row of tall, graceful women, all dressed in sheer, flowing gowns. They had exquisite figures, with delicate and alluring features. Their eyes carried a trace of seductive charm, and they all stood in perfect formation as they welcomed him.

They bowed gracefully; their voices were soft and enchanting as they spoke in unison, "Welcome, Master."

Their attire revealed just enough to tease one's imagination and was never quite revealing enough to see anything.

It was an illusion of revealing everything and yet nothing at all—a deliberate temptation. Yet, it was precisely this kind of illusion that made it so alluring, as it left people longing to see what they couldn't.

Something was wrong. The moment he stepped inside, his instincts told him that something was off. This place was no ordinary establishment.

Just as he was about to retreat, one of the women approached him with a charming smile. She gently grabbed his arm and said, "Master, what kind of service do you require?"

Ye Guan hesitated for a moment before sternly saying, "I'm an honorable man."

The lady giggled sweetly, glancing at him with a playful glint in her eyes. Seeing his handsome features and refined demeanour, her smile deepened.

The other women nearby also peeked at Ye Guan from the corners of their eyes, looking slightly curious and amused.

As if worried that he would escape, the lady clung to his arm, pulling him further inside. Ye Guan didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but her ample curves were brushing against him with every step.

Before long, she led him into a dimly lit room that was small and intimate.

There was nothing inside but a small bed.

Ye Guan's face stiffened at the sight.

The lady giggled and asked, "Master, is this your first time here?"

Ye Guan nodded.

The lady pressed herself on his arm, and her gaze was seductive as she said, "Don't worry, Master. Our establishment is... a very

upright

place."

The lady pulled out a long wooden plaque and placed it in front of him with a smile. "Master, these are our services. Please choose one."

Ye Guan glanced at the plaque and saw over a dozen different options—Daoist Egg Massage, Fire and Ice Dual Delight, Paired Flight, Soft Hands Polishing the Rod, and Immortal Mouth Sutra...

Ye Guan was puzzled. "Miss, what exactly are these services? I can read them, but I can't understand them."

The lady giggled mischievously, then slapped him playfully on the shoulder. "

Oh,

Master, you're so naughty."

"Master, how about this one?" she asked, pointing at one of the services.

Ye Guan followed her finger and muttered, "A Hundred Flowers in Bloom?"

Ye Guan was completely lost. "What does that mean?"

The lady blinked. "It means... a lot of people

together

."

Ye Guan broke out into a cold sweat and inwardly screamed,

"Damn it, Master Pagoda! Look at where you led me! What kind of place is this?!"

He looked over the options again and pointed, saying, "This one. I want this one, Daoist Egg Massage—Soothing Muscles and Strengthening Bones.'"

That

had

to be a legitimate service!

The lady glanced at him and smiled. "Master, that's two thousand eight hundred Pure-grade emperor crystals."

Two thousand eight hundred?!

Ye Guan felt slightly reluctant, but he still took out the money. After working so hard all these years, what was wrong with enjoying himself a little?

The lady accepted the payment with a smile and said, "Please wait a moment, Master. We will arrange for a lady to serve you shortly."

With that, she left the room.

Ye Guan glanced around. This room was really small and a bit too intimate. At first glance, this place really didn't seem proper at all. He was also surprised that the Old Lands had places like this.

Who could be the owner of this place? The Boundless Master?

Just then, another lady walked in. She was wearing a dark green long dress with a transparent veil over her face, allowing her delicate features to be seen.

Her eyes were big and sparkling, her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her figure was stunning. She bowed slightly and said, "Master, please change your clothes."

Change my clothes?

Ye Guan was confused.

The lady pointed toward the bed. He followed her gaze and saw... a single pair of underwear lying there.

"Change... right here?" he asked.

The lady nodded calmly. "Yes."

"Shouldn't you turn around or something?" he asked.

The lady replied, "There's no need to."

With a sigh, he walked to the bed and started taking off his robe.

Meanwhile, those in the Strategist Pavilion stared at the scene with dark faces.

What the hell are we watching?!

Sui Gujin remained expressionless as she stared at Ye Guan undressing on the screen.

Ye Guan quickly changed into the so-called clothes.

The lady pointed at the bed.

Ye Guan understood and sprawled out on it.

The lady then walked over and took out a small wooden bottle. She then poured the cool liquid all over Ye Guan.

Ye Guan asked, "Miss, what's your name?"

The lady gently spread the liquid all over him. "Hao'er."

"Lady Hao'er, can I ask you a question? I hope you don't mind."

"Ask away."

"Why did you end up working in a place like this?"

"I tried to start up a business and ended up in debt."

"How much is it?"

"A few hundred thousand Pure-grade emperor crystals."

"That's quite a lot."

"What about you? Why are you here?"

"It's my first time in the Old Lands. I didn't know what kind of place this was. I saw a lot of people coming in, so I got curious and decided to check it out. I didn't expect...

this.

"

"Why did you come to the Old Lands?"

"Have you heard of the Suiming Civilization?"

"Yes."

"I came here to find my master."

"What's your master's name?"

"Beixin Ci."

Hao'er's hands suddenly froze.

Meanwhile, those in the Strategist Pavilion froze. They all turned to look at Sui Gujin, who still remained as calm and expressionless as ever.

Back in the small room, Ye Guan suddenly looked confused. "Lady Hao'er, why did you stop massaging?"

Hao'er snapped back to reality. Hearing Ye Guan speak so frivolously, her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't react harshly. Instead, she resumed her movements and asked, "Beixin Ci is your master?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes. Master said she was going to save the vast expanse, then she left... and never came back. Sigh."

Hao'er asked, "Master, do you know that Beixin Ci is considered a traitor in the Suiming Civilization? Aren't you afraid they'll come after you?"

Ye Guan chuckled. "Not at all. Before she left, she gave me a tiny pagoda. She told me that if my life was ever in danger, I just needed to activate the pagoda, and no matter how far away she was, she'd rush to my side immediately."

Inside the Strategist Pavilion, a man suddenly asked, "Do you think he knows that he's being watched?"

Someone else replied, "Probably. The reason he brought up Bei—

her

is to make us hesitate."

A third person sneered, "He's scared."

A woman suddenly asked, "But what if he's telling the truth?"

The man laughed. "That's easy to find out. Just make him take out the pagoda and show it to us."

Just then, Hao'er suddenly asked, "The pagoda... Master, can I see it?"

Ye Guan hesitated.

Hao'er lowered her voice. "If not, then forget it. How could someone like me be worthy of seeing a divine artifact?"

Ye Guan panicked a little and quickly said, "

Ah,

no, no, that's not what I meant. Everyone is equal. Don't look down on yourself! Besides, you're so beautiful, I..."

Flustered, Ye Guan sat up and grabbed her hands. "Lady Hao'er, I really didn't mean to look down on you. I-I'm just really poor. Otherwise, I'd help pay off your debt and free you.

"You're truly beautiful, and you remind me of someone I once liked..."

Little Pagoda was speechless.

Meanwhile, the men in the Strategist Pavilion were absolutely furious.

Hao'er calmly withdrew her hands and muttered, "I believe you, Master. I didn't mean anything by it; it's just that Beixin Ci is so famous.

"Since you claim to be her disciple, I was just curious about the pagoda. But if it's inconvenient for you, then forget that I brought it up."

Ye Guan looked conflicted. He "struggled" for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, "Lady Hao'er, I can show it to you, but... I have one condition."

His face turned completely red.

The men in the Strategis Pavilion seethed with rage. One of them stood up and yelled, "Kill him! Erase his very soul!"

Another shouted, "That would be letting him off too easily! Throw him into the Dark Prison, make him suffer a fate worse than death!"

Hao'er looked at Ye Guan calmly and said, "What do you need, Master?"

Ye Guan hesitated before asking, "Lady Hao'er, can I... kiss you?"

Hao'er stared at him. "If that is what you desire, Master, I can arrange for another lady to come here. They can provide whatever service you need."

Ye Guan let out a quiet sigh. "Lady Hao'er, you think too poorly of me. I-I'm not that kind of person..."

Hao'er remained silent, watching him.

Ye Guan shook his head slightly, then lay back down and said, "Before my master left, she warned me never to show this pagoda to others casually. She said it contains a mysterious power, one that even surpasses the Suiming Civilization. If I were to reveal it, it'd bring disaster upon me..."

A power that surpasses the Suiming Civilization?

Hao'er's eyes narrowed slightly. "Master... isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

Ye Guan simply smiled and said nothing, and the room suddenly became silent.

𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Moments later, Hao'er said, "So, if I let you kiss me, you'll show it to me?"

Ye Guan abruptly sat up, and his eyes burned with desire as he stared at her. "Yes."

"Then go ahead, Master," she said. With that, she slowly closed her eyes.

Absolute chaos erupted in the Strategist Pavilion.

Ye Guan slowly leaned in closer to her, and as he drew nearer, the eyes of the men in the Strategist Pavilion turned blood-red with rage.

Closer... even closer...

Hao'er could already feel Ye Guan's breath against her lips, and her hands clenched into fists. Then, suddenly, she opened her eyes, leaned forward, and brushed her lips lightly against his before pulling away.

It was just a fleeting touch.

Hao'er looked at him and said, "That's enough."

Ye Guan blinked. "Alright."

Swoosh!

Ye Guan disappeared together with her. When they reappeared, they were already in the tiny pagoda's world.

Since everyone in the Strategist Pavilion was watching through Hao'er's point of view, they found themselves staring at the world inside the tiny pagoda!

The pavilion became deathly silent. Everyone's eyes widened, and their jaws dropped. Their faces became filled with disbelief as well. Even the indifferent Sui Gujin stared with narrowed eyes at the scene.

A long moment passed before the members of the Strategist Pavilion finally snapped out of their daze. They looked at Ye Guan, completely bewildered.

They thought he was just bragging, but this pagoda was an insanely powerful artifact. Everything he said sounded like complete nonsense, but now, they could no longer be certain.
