Chapter 185: "Miss Huo Feng" (1)
In the tranquil and secluded place, Lu Heng was completely unaware of the tragic scene where Erba God Man was killed again by Lianshan Jing. Even if he knew, he would only burst into laughter and find ways to locate the person and kill him again.
He, who had been away for a long time, pushed open the door and stepped out, ceasing his cultivation of martial arts.
In the Bamboo Garden, Huo Feng dressed in the attire of the Yun sect, was still bargaining with the Bo horse.
Huo Feng, who has been unconscious for almost half a month, now that he has recovered, astonishingly made rapid progress in his cultivation and advanced quickly.
Huo Feng looks much better now than before, as he no longer appears as sickly as he used to.
However, that ever-present broad-minded and fearless spirit, which the "woman" possessed despite her slender and beautiful appearance, added an unusual charm to her.
On several previous occasions when Huo Feng went out, he happened to come across guests looking for pleasure at the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, which caused a little disturbance.
Currently, there is a rumor spreading throughout Fan Jie City that a new courtesan named Miss Huo Feng has arrived at the Warm Fragrance Pavilion. She is said to be the most beautiful woman in the south seas and her mere presence fills people's hearts with delight.
However, Miss Huo Feng holds herself in high esteem and seldom shows her face, let alone deigning to receive visitors. Even to this day, not to mention receiving distinguished guests, most outsiders are unaware of her background, yet rumors spread.
Regarding this matter, the owner of Warm Fragrance Pavilion has repeatedly defended themselves publicly. However, they were unable to stop the rumors from spreading at an alarming rate.
Just because the Treasure Conference was approaching, the Fan Jie Mountain was already bustling with all kinds of merchants and travelers from the north and south.
Most of the merchants' attendants could not enter the sea and could only stay on the shore waiting for their leaders to return. These idle people mingled in the city and, out of boredom, made the name of the new oiran at the Warm Fragrance Pavilion more and more famous.
So much so that the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, which was usually quiet and peaceful, has recently been bustling with a continuous stream of guests, even more lively than this time last year.
However, Huo Feng is not only a friend of the Wolf God, but was also Wu Gu's patient, so how dare the owner of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion offend him?
All the distinguished guests who came to visit were turned away by the master of the pavilion.
Seeing that the rumors were getting stronger, the pavilion master didn't even dare to disclose the news of the Wolf God's presence here. She was afraid that the outside rumors would connect the so-called new oiran with the Wolf God and tarnish the name of the Wolf God.
However, Lu Heng was also aware of these things, especially the fact that Huo Feng had not left his house since the rumor spread, and instead cultivated every day inside.
He was born as a proud young man, but now he has turned into a woman and even rumored to be a courtesan… This situation is truly difficult to bear.
Even more dangerous is that, now that she is in her female body, her cultivation is almost nonexistent, yet she still manages to create such a reputation, attracting countless covetous people from inside and outside the city, making Huo Feng extremely insecure.
After she woke up, the Wolf God told her a terrifying fact.
"Witch Wu Gu said if Brother Huo accidentally gets pregnant within these three years… it's very likely that you won't be able to go back to your original state. Moreover, the yin and yang energy in your body will be imbalanced as a result, not only becoming a woman for eternity but also a mortal for eternity, and you will never be able to step on the path of cultivation again…"
Huo Feng, being a dignified man, would never commit foolish acts. However, now that he has an outstanding appearance, he may encounter lustful and malicious individuals who would resort to force…
Whenever he thought of such a terrifying scene, Huo Feng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Therefore, she was too afraid to leave her place after coming in, but now, she is bargaining with the Bo Horse, wanting to go out and join the fun. Lu Heng became curious upon seeing her doing so.
Lu Heng smiled and asked, "Are you planning to go out, Brother Huo?"
Upon hearing the voice of the Wolf God, Huo Feng hastily turned around and spoke to the white wolf in front of him, "Indeed, I intend to journey towards the city. Tonight is the day of the Opening Gate of the Fan Jie Mountain and the rising of the Moon Blossom. I have heard various rumors while on land and my heart yearns for it."
"Now is the perfect opportunity, with an irresistible itch in my heart, to participate in the fun and expand my horizons."
Huo Feng was speaking the truth.
This young man from the Yun sect was inherently restless, his greatest passion in the past being to wander the earth, encounter numerous marvels, and experience the local customs and cultures from different places.
Keeping her inside the Warm Fragrance Pavilion for around ten days without going out, was nearly suffocating her.
Tonight happens to be the annual grand event in Fan Jie Mountain. The city is decorated with colorful lights and bustling with excitement. Huo Feng cannot control the temptation and wishes for the Bo horse to accompany him on a journey to the city.
Thus, even if he encounters any mishap, with the Bo horse around, he can readily escape back to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion.
However, after Lu Heng listened to Huo Feng's vivid account of the bustling and lively atmosphere, he couldn't help but feel tempted as well.
After residing in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion for nearly a month, he was growing weary. Upon reflection, despite being in Fan Jie Mountain, the most treacherous city in the South Sea, he had yet to venture outside and explore the local culture.
Therefore, Lu Heng chuckled and said, "In that case, I'll join in on the fun today. Let us, siblings… ahem… travel together."
Lu Heng deliberately changed a word, teasingly.
In the past, Huo Feng would have hurriedly paid his respects to the Wolf God, and would not have dared to speak familiarly with him as if they were brothers.
Now with just a slight teasing from Lu Heng, Huo Feng felt helpless and could only force a bitter smile, without being able to speak a word.
Afterwards, Lu Heng also invited Xiao Ai to come along, and they stopped by to invite Wu Gu on the way.
Wu Gu, being an obsessed medic, had no interest in any kind of commotion; all she wanted was to stay in the yard and continue her research on Yu Ren Ya.
Yu Ren Ya was quite willing to go, but now she is divided into big and small parts and can only envy them while soaking in a jar.
Although Wu Gu smiled and said, "You can ask the Wolf God to take your head out, as long as you don't leave the range of Fan Jie Mountain, your head will not be disconnected from your body, and you can still watch the bustle."
The behavior of going out for a walk holding only a head is too bizarre. Even though Lu Heng smiled and agreed it was a good idea, Yu Ren Ya quickly declined.
The little fox, on the other hand, had earned Wu Gu's holiday break and shouted for joy as she joined Lu Heng and his companions on their journey.
So a wolf, a Gu eagle, a Bo horse, a little girl with silver animal ears, a little fox who hasn't fully transformed yet, and a beautiful woman dressed in Yun sect clothing left the Warm Fragrance Pavilion and merged into the busy crowd in the city.
Although Lu Heng can use his soul to travel, he easily draws attention from cultivators due to the transcendental demeanor and impeccable appearance of his soul incarnation.
Although the wolf's body was also tall, there were various exotic beasts of demon cultivators throughout the city, so Lu Heng was not particularly special, and thus he went out with his demonic body.
After leaving the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, on the outside deck walkway, there were crowds of people coming and going, jostling each other, much more lively than when Lu Heng and his group had arrived.
And this is also a high place.
Tonight's real bustling venue is on the plain below. When Lu Heng and his companions looked down from the trestle bridge, they saw that the city below was teeming with crowds.
The crowded and noisy scene made Xiao Ai gasp in amazement.
Although she had traveled around the South Sea with the Wolf God, the lively and prosperous scenery of the human world was still a novelty for the little girl who had grown up in the mountains.
