Chapter 693: Forefather Really Knows How to Have Fun

"Forefather—"

"Have you forgotten what we agreed on earlier? Call me Brother Lu."

"B-Brother Lu."

Standing on a drifting cloud with both hands clasped behind his back, Chun Yangzi smiled in satisfaction. "That's more like it."

He had once again slightly adjusted his facial features and even grown a thin mustache, giving him a somewhat roguish air. Moreover, his white robe had been replaced with a deep-blue Daoist robe.

Ahem.

To put it more politely, he now seemed much more approachable.

Chun Yangzi lowered his aura to the Golden Immortal Realm. An immortal sword hung at his back, and a Daoist headband bound his hair. He now exuded a refined and confident elegance.

If Wang Sheng had not watched his forefather change clothes with his own eyes, he would have hardly recognized him.

Wang Sheng had also changed into a clean Daoist robe and adorned himself with several valuable accessories. His hair was tied with a band woven from Cloud Bamboo fibers. A belt set with top-grade Divine Nightglow Jade rested at his waist.

Two words described the whole look: exquisitely styled!

Most of the treasures served little practical purpose, yet they made Wang Sheng look like a young, wealthy immortal from the endless space.

The two descended toward a pale-blue celestial body somewhere within the Southern Sky Region. Though it was covered in thick clouds, even from afar, one could see many floating islands resting upon the mist.

Wang Sheng was now unimaginably far from the thirteen qi planets near the ancient battlefield.

"Cheer up and relax," Chun Yangzi hooked an arm around Wang Sheng's neck, a gesture that felt extremely casual. "Do you know where we are? This place is known as the Qiluo Celestial Realm, famous throughout the Southern Sky Region as a land of pleasure. See those streaks of light moving about? They're not all male cultivators. Many female cultivators also come here to relax.

"Cultivation can be terribly dull. Many people have to maintain the image of dignified elders before their sects. Here, however, they can finally cast aside those unnecessary disguises and simply enjoy themselves."

Wang Sheng lowered his voice. "Forefather—Brother Lu! I was just married. If my senior sister finds out about this, how would I even explain it?"

"Relax." Chun Yangzi patted Wang Sheng's chest. "This place has three grand arrays. The first blocks any probing from the Great Dao, while the second confuses every trace of aura. The third serves as a teleportation array that can be activated at any moment to avoid being caught.

"As long as you do not run around announcing your visit, no one will ever know you came here. Just leave everything to me. I promise you will enjoy yourself so much that you will not want to leave."

Wang Sheng smiled and shook his head. "Brother Lu, you seem very familiar with this place. You have used that third array quite a few times, haven't you?"

"

Eh...

A decent number, yes. Originally, this location served as a meeting place arranged between several friends and me, but it gradually became what you see today," Chun Yangzi whispered, then sighed. "

Haaa...

Fei Yu, you have to understand that men sometimes require a corner where they can relieve their pressures. This place serves as our harbor."

He pointed forward as he spoke. The cloud beneath their feet accelerated downward, bringing them straight to a lively immortal island.

No matter how beautifully it was described, the fact of the matter was that this was still a place for seeking pleasure.

It seemed more specialized and refined than the Laifeng Pavilion of the Fengli Sect. Moreover, though it resembled a pleasure house within the endless space, it had an extraordinary variety of entertainment. Aside from the more common delights, there were also quite a few elegant amusements. Beautiful women were everywhere.

Chun Yangzi led Wang Sheng straight to the Wuyang Garden, the largest and most scenic establishment on the island. He tossed out a token as soon as he arrived, making it immediately close its doors to outsiders. The entire area was now reserved for the two honored guests.

The whole process felt strangely dreamlike.

While waiting, they sat in a pavilion surrounded by water. Beautiful young women arrived to serve tea and pastries. They were all in light clothing that stirred the imagination without outright revealing anything.

Not only did heavy makeup and gentle elegance suit them perfectly, but even the girls who merely poured tea had their own unique charm and temperament.

Soon, a captivatingly beautiful woman in a long, off-shoulder dress entered the garden. She smiled at Chun Yangzi. "It has been so long since your last visit. What brings you here today?"

The woman sounded so casual, yet each word was imbued with a trace of playful reproach. She behaved in a way that had struck a delicate balance between intimacy and distance. Though the nature of her work wasn't any different, she was far better than the typical hostesses who greeted guests with loud flattery.

Chun Yangzi smiled. "I brought my martial brother here to relax. We'll have the usual."

"I'm well aware of your preferences." The hostess laughed softly. "However, I believe I have not yet met your handsome martial brother. I wonder what he prefers."

Wang Sheng wanted to say that he didn't want anything, but before he could speak, Chun Yangzi replied, "Give him the one with the best skills, and arrange the rest according to what I usually get. We cultivate using the same cultivation technique."

"Please wait a moment while I prepare everything."

Wang Sheng was rendered speechless.

How can he speak about such matters so calmly? As expected of our forefather. He truly stands above ordinary people.

Even though Wang Sheng accompanied him here, he had no intention of betraying his senior sister. Respect flowed both ways. They would remain loyal to each other and never cross that boundary.

Surely his forefather would not put two beds side by side and personally supervise such a situation.

Wang Sheng settled his mind. While sitting and sipping tea with Chun Yangzi, he admired the paintings and calligraphy. They also appreciated the carefully crafted scenery around them.

Soon, an attendant announced that everything was ready. She then invited them to a cloud chamber.

They walked through a long corridor. In the distance, immortal springs formed cascading waterfalls, and the faint melody from musical instruments drifted through the air.

Chun Yangzi stretched lazily. Wang Sheng also felt a slight sense of relaxation. If this place were not known for its explicit services, it would truly qualify as an elegant retreat.

Soon, they entered the cloud chamber. Wang Sheng looked at the two beds placed side by side, several dark lines appearing across his forehead.

When his forefather spread his arms wide, two beautiful young women stepped forward and removed his Daoist robe. Two other girls also approached Wang Sheng from behind.

One of them softly offered, "Young Master, allow us to help you remove your robe."

More dark lines appeared across Wang Sheng's forehead as his mouth twitched slightly. "Brother Lu, this seems somewhat inappropriate. Why are these two beds..."

Chun Yangzi had already settled onto the bed with practiced ease. "

Mm?

What's wrong with it?"

The woman who had played the role of the "hostess" earlier walked over to him barefoot. She had changed into a short skirt.

After bowing politely to Wang Sheng, she sat beside the bed, placed both hands on Chun Yangzi's shoulders, and started kneading them gently with her fingers. Simultaneously, two strands of immortal power flowed into his body.

Chun Yangzi breathed out in satisfaction. "A little harder, please, Hostess Su."

"You should relax more instead," she replied.

Wang Sheng was once again rendered speechless.

We're only getting a massage! Did it really require such an elaborate arrangement?!

The woman behind him repeated, "Young Master, please let us remove your robe."

Wang Sheng spread his arms, and the two young women skillfully removed his Daoist robe. They then guided him onto the other bed.

A veiled, barefoot woman approached from the side and lowered her head slightly before massaging him.

Soon after, Wang Sheng noticed something unusual. Cool threads of aura slipped quietly into his body along with her movements, spreading a deep sense of comfort all over him. Even the Pure Yang Immortal Power within him grew lazy and calm.

He completely relaxed almost immediately.

Chun Yangzi smiled cheerfully. "How is it? Feels quite pleasant, doesn't it?"

He could clearly see straight through Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng smiled awkwardly and nodded.

Chun Yangzi grinned. "The massage techniques here are one of the Qiluo Celestial Realm's finest specialties. After all, they use a cultivation technique known as the Profound Water Technique, which governs yin and softness while also complementing the cultivation techniques we practice.

"This kind of massage can harmonize the yin and yang within us. It can even deepen one's comprehension."

Wang Sheng could only smile politely. He did not dare speak much, and he certainly did not dare ask questions.

Before long, drowsiness crept in. With his forefather right beside him, Wang Sheng felt at ease. The fatigue in his heart slowly disappeared, while the comfort spreading across his back gradually filled his entire body.

Once his mind relaxed, he quickly fell asleep. He soon started snoring softly.

Still lying on his stomach, Chun Yangzi chuckled at the sight. Watching his young successor made several waves of emotion stir within him.

Hostess Su softly commented, "You rarely bring people here. Is he an important friend?"

"He is my successor." Chun Yangzi set up a soundproof array around Wang Sheng and dismissed the immortal who had been massaging him. Afterward, he whispered, "This child carries too many burdens and never allows himself to relax. He reminds me very much of who I used to be. Anyway, how much information have you gathered recently?"

"Most of it is useless. We still have not found the person you are searching for."

Their conversation made it clear that this place clearly wasn't just a pleasure house.

Chun Yangzi rubbed his brow. "

Haaa...

The Great Dao is unpredictable. Nothing in heaven and earth remains constant. Have you been following the matter involving Emperor Qinghua?"

"Of course. It is the most shocking event in the past tens of thousands of years. Emperor Qinghua has already grasped the Great Dao of Death. Not only did he fight several powerful beings from the Eastern Sky Region and the Immortal Saint Realm, but he even personally killed some of them. According to rumors, he has already grasped the Five Heavenly Declines."

"Not long ago, he appeared in the Western Sky Region, severely injured two traitor generals of the Heavenly Court, and planted the Five Heavenly Declines within them. He then killed two more powerful beings who tried to pursue him. He's terrifyingly powerful.

"Emperor Qinghua has declared that he will return to the Immortal Saint Realm after a thousand years. His first act will be to execute the traitors and then eliminate the resistance. As a result, many of the Heavenly Court's former forces across the Four Sky Regions have started moving again."

After a moment of thought, Chun Yangzi commented, "His Imperial Majesty is a bit too impatient. Still, this may not be a bad thing. His explosive rise will definitely draw much of the Immortal Saint Realm's attention. Try to contact him. If you succeed, invite him to visit Mount Putuo in the Southern Sky Region."

Hostess Su frowned slightly. "You should avoid becoming involved in this matter. When I observe the stars at night, I see that the fortune of the Heavenly Court does not rest upon him. He is not destined to restore it."

Chun Yangzi smiled faintly. Calmly, he replied, "I know my limits. Once I leave, please make the arrangements."

"How long will you stay?"

"Three days at most."

Hostess Su sighed softly. Her delicate hands paused for a moment. "I will arrange a spring bath for you. Should I... arrange different accommodations for you and your successor?"

"Of course. I would also like to spend more time with you."

Chun Yangzi gave the beauty beside him a faint smile that held deeper meaning. Though Hostess Su snorted softly through her nose, her cheeks flushed faintly red. She lowered her head and walked away quickly.

Chun Yangzi leaned against the bed. Watching her leave, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"

Tsk.

Now that is what you call a true beauty."

***

When Wang Sheng woke up from his deep, hazy sleep, he found the bed beside him empty. He felt refreshed, light, and comfortable, almost as if he were floating on clouds.

Forefather really knows how to have fun.

A fairy soon came forward to guide him to an open-air hot spring. She asked whether he required attendants, to which Wang Sheng declined. The women chuckled softly as they activated the array surrounding the spring before quietly taking their leave.

After some time, mist filled the air. Finding no reason to hold back, Wang Sheng removed his clothes and stepped into the hot spring. Only then did he notice that many treasures had been placed within the water. A faint fragrance lingered around him.

He felt extremely comfortable.

At that moment, he heard a soft snort.

"

Hmph!

"

A streak of light then flew out from the Qiankun Ring. Water rippled gently, and a graceful figure appeared within the spring.

Yaoyun, who was in a thin gauze dress, waved her hand, gathering several strands of mist between them. A quiet sigh of comfort escaped her lips.

Wang Sheng smiled. "So you finally decided to come out?"

She did not answer, making the atmosphere a little awkward.
