You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?

Chapter 9 – The Book of Wind and Moon



Wu Dan didn't stay for dinner and left feeling dizzy.

In the moment he turned around, the emotional bar on his forehead slowly began to rise.

Leaving behind some essence and energy, he fled.

"What a good brother..."

Ying Wuji's mouth slightly curved, but he didn't think Wu Dan would hold a grudge, given their strong brotherhood.

40 taels was not much for a prince of a kingdom.

Although it might be difficult to save up since it used his special passage.

But a mere Green Sparrow girl, a former flower chief, was not worth too much emotional fluctuations.

【Tip】: When the target's emotional fluctuation value exceeds 90, you will randomly obtain the non-grade skill "Wu Dan's 18 Forms".

Ying Wuji: "......"

His emotions seemed to be collapsing, but Wu Dan didn't regret it.

He was moved, "Good brother, you suffered!"

When I make money, I'll definitely let you experience the correct way to open a high-class brothel.

But what is this non-grade "Wu Dan's 18 Forms"?

【Tip】: Due to the low grade of "Wu Dan's 18 Forms", it is forced to have a critical hit and will advance to the Profound-level skill "The Book of Wind and Moon".

Ying Wuji: "......"

The light ball changed from transparent to gray, then from gray to white, and finally rose to green.

It had been promoted three levels in a row, and in terms of skills, it had reached a relatively high level. However, the content...

Ying Wuji scratched his head, feeling that this was a divine skill. Although it was a profound-level skill like the Sword Technique True Interpretation, it was quite rich in content. Practicing with others could even promote cultivation, greatly making up for the gap in the world's lack of sexual skills.

Unfortunately, he might not have the space to use it in the short term. What use did I have for this?

While pondering, Bai Zhi ran over nervously, "Young Master, I just heard that you're going to the Red Joy Pavilion again? Don't go, that place is too dangerous!"

"If I don't go, how can I catch the killer?"

"But it's dangerous there!"

Bai Zhi's pretty face was full of worry, and she finally gritted her teeth, "Then you have to bring me with you this time. Otherwise, if I'm just waiting on the rooftop too far away, and you're so weak, you won't be able to protect yourself if you encounter danger."

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

This worried look had never appeared before.

Ying Wuji thought for a moment and smiled, "Okay!"

"Okay!"

Bai Zhi nodded excitedly. She didn't feel that the Young Master was looking down on her at all now. She bounced out to buy ingredients.

Ying Wuji was thinking about making money. Although money could be saved now, if he went alone, this girl would definitely worry to death.

Spend the money, money is meant to be spent! After dealing with this matter, he would put making money on the schedule. By being overbearing and domineering, he might even be able to mess with the mentality of some merchants, which would definitely increase efficiency.

Unfortunately, it was really difficult to break through the emotional bar to over ninety.

After he came back yesterday, he frightened many servants with the assassination case, but the highest he could get was eighty, and he lost some attribute points.

So far, only Wu Shuangxu, Bai Zhi, and Wu Dan had exceeded ninety.

Ignoring Bai Zhi's fragile physique.

...Wu Dan also felt like he was losing out when he took a step back. His emotional bar only reached 90, and when he was first introduced to the flower and willow disease, his face turned white and his emotions did not meet the standard.

Even Wu Shuangxu's emotional bar reaching 90 was probably not because she suddenly pretended to be dead, but because her hand was tightly holding onto her evidence at the time.

To reach 90...

It seems that one must strike the most fragile part of the soul and achieve resonance, rather than simply stimulating emotions.

Therefore, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine.

Just focusing on the mentality is not a problem for obtaining attribute points, but it is difficult to obtain techniques.

...

Reading books and practicing swordsmanship.

In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting.

The golden sunset slanted down, making the streets warm and cozy.

It's just a pity that even the warm sunset couldn't dispel the emptiness of the Qian Kingdom Embassy.

"Phew..."

Ying Wuji stretched lazily. This feeling of reading books and practicing swordsmanship all day was quite fulfilling.

It's just that the situation in the embassy is too bad, as if everywhere is written with the word "bankruptcy", wasting such a good location.

Although the Li Kingdom may not be the strongest among the lords, it is definitely the richest. Especially the King of Li, who is a precious existence, the Qian Kingdom Embassy arranged in this golden location is enough to show how close the Qian-Li relationship is. Embassies of small countries like the Wu Kingdom and some countries with bad relationships have been arranged outside the city.

But this desolate scene really doesn't match this location.

Bai Zhi saw Ying Wuji coming out and hurriedly ran up to him: "Young master, are we going to the appointment?"

She had seen Wu Shuangxu's note, and the time was almost up, and the location was just across the river from the Yihong Pavilion.

Ying Wuji glanced at her, only to see that she was carrying a three-foot sword, holding a cloth bag in her hand, and from the white powder sticking to the opening of the bag, it could be determined that it was lime powder. Her sleeve was also bulging, probably tied with sleeve arrows produced by the Mo family.

He twitched his mouth: "What are you bringing these things for? We're going to listen to music, not to fight!"@@novelbin@@

Bai Zhi naturally said: "I want to protect young master!"

Ying Wuji smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry! Besides us, the ones who least want me to have an accident are the Li Kingdom. They will take care of us, so quickly take off these things!"

"But..."

"Take them off!"

"Okay..."

Bai Zhi could only sigh and threw the sleeve arrows and lime bag aside, but she was unwilling to take off the long sword on her back.

Ying Wuji could only let her be and asked casually, "What about Xun Zhiyin? Haven't seen him all day."

Bai Zhi snorted: "I heard that he went to mediate between our Qian Kingdom merchants and other merchants. As far as I'm concerned, he is guilty and dare not see young master, deliberately avoiding us!"

"Is that so..."

Ying Wuji nodded thoughtfully, then waved his hand, "Don't worry about him, let's go listen to music!"

After the two of them left, they went straight to the riverbank.

They arrived just in time.

The sun had completely sunk below the horizon, and it was the beginning of the night when the lights were just lit.

The city of Jiangcheng seemed to be on a deep blue canvas, dotted with countless warm lights.

Jiangcheng is the richest city in the world, and the nightlife is naturally the most abundant. Even Zhou Tianzi's City Jing cannot match it.

By the river, under the tree.A tall and thin man with delicate features and a scruffy beard was holding a sword and leaning against a willow tree.

When the man saw Ying Wuji approaching, he immediately greeted him with a bow. "Young master, it's been a while."

Ying Wuji was taken aback. "Who are you, handsome?"

By the light of the lamps across the river, he carefully examined the man's face for a while before recognizing the traces of Wu Shuangxu. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss Wu's disguise skills are truly superb. She can even change her voice. I almost didn't recognize her."

Wu Shuangxu shook her head wryly. "The strict orders from the Qianhu forbid any subordinates from participating in this matter. I had no choice but to resort to this plan."

Ying Wuji's gaze turned cold. He had thought that the Flying Fish Guards might secretly investigate, but he didn't expect that all subordinates were strictly forbidden from participating. The two countries of Qianli and Ganli seemed to really not treat him as a human being.

Regardless of whether Wu Shuangxu had other motives in helping him, it was still a timely help for him.

He shook his head and stopped dwelling on this issue. Looking across the river, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Isn't the Yihong Pavilion the most famous brothel in Jiangcheng? Why does it look so deserted today?"

Wu Shuangxu tilted her head. "Young master, you imprisoned seven famous courtesans overnight. It is rumored that you single-handedly destroyed the Yihong Pavilion. Don't you know about this?"

Ying Wuji: "..."
