After leaving Lei Jiangxue's residence, Bai Yunsheng headed left first.
The words from the novel floated through his mind, but they didn't make any sense. He was only recalling the plot of the book so as not to forget that he was Lin Fan... The younger brother of the creator of this world...
"In this world, demons cultivate better than humans, so it shouldn't be a problem for Xiao Ran to awaken her core!" he muttered to himself, catching sidelong glances.
He came to a brothel called "Jade Lotus".
"Even though I said I wasn't going to cultivate, I should at least reach Nascent Soul (4) so I don't die..." he thought to himself, when the beautiful woman who ran this brothel approached him.
"Mr. Bai, so you decided to honor us with your visit~ How can I help you?" — A woman around 30 years old with dark blue hair and azure eyes, wearing a silk dress and holding a fan in her hand, said with a melodious voice.
Bai Yunsheng looked at her and remembered who was in front of him.
"Wen Qingge is the head of a brothel called "Jade Lotus". Although she looks like an ordinary woman, albeit with large forms, in the future she will become an incredibly strong cultivator known as "Purple Moon"! Now she is at the peak of "Soul Formation", but in the future she will almost become immortal, but due to the problem with the core, she will not be able to break through" — Bai Yunsheng thought to himself, looking at the future big shot of this novel.
"It would be nice to recruit her, but for that I need to interest her, and for that..." — he thought and said:
— I would like to order a courtesan!
The woman smiled and asked in a gentle voice:
"Of course, you can head to the VIP room, and I will send the best of the best to you! We have special service for a special customer~"
Bai Yunsheng nodded in response and headed to the VIP room. After a while, a young girl in a simple blue dress with lily patterns entered.
"Hello, Mr. Bai," she greeted him sweetly and sat down on the bed in front of him.
"Of course, I don't want to do this, but for now, Xiao Ran is too weak to protect me from the protagonist, and Wen Qingge is not my ally yet... So I'll have to become stronger myself!" Bai Yunsheng thought to himself as he took off his clothes.
The girl's breath caught in her throat. She couldn't help but acknowledge the beauty of the young master in front of her. The courtesan reached out and touched Bai Yunsheng's chest. His muscles were firm to the touch, and she couldn't help but explore his muscular body. The contrast between the pretty face and the moderately pumped up, sculpted body left the impression that she was looking at the main character of the bl novel.
Bai Yunsheng leaned over and kissed her on the lips. Without thinking twice, the girl responded to the kiss with all her passion. But something was wrong...
As soon as his hands touched her chest, she suddenly felt herself losing strength.
The pain was excruciating and she could not hold back her screams, which were heard throughout the brothel.
Even Wen Qingge could not hold back her interest. The screams from the VIP room were so loud that they left no room for imagination.
"What are they doing there?..." Wen Qingge whispered nervously with a flushed face.
Since they were in a brothel, there weren't many options about what was happening...
With each shout from the VIP room, each woman blushed more and more and giggled quietly, and the men burned with envy.
"Of course, I knew that Mr. Bai was known as a ladies' man, but no one said that it worked in bed too!" some courtesans whispered nervously, giggling and wanting to know more about what was going on.
Meanwhile, in the VIP room, everything was not going as expected.
Bai Yunsheng remembered one character from the original novel who absorbed other cultivators' souls and cultivations.
"The main antagonist of the entire novel had the ability to absorb other people's qi, thanks to which he became stronger. Of course, I haven't read the novel to the end, but judging from my sister's spoilers, this main villain was a real pain in the ass..." flashed through Bai Yunsheng's mind.
Bai Yunsheng's hands were on the girl's chest and he was absorbing her negative energy, immediately converting it into energy for cultivation.
"Yeah... I haven't even had time to get used to this world, and I've already started walking the path of a demon... If I meet a cultivator of the righteous path on my way, I'm screwed..." he thought to himself as he sucked out all the negative energy from the girl's body.
After he finished, the girl fell unconscious on the bed, and Bai Yunsheng felt a surge of strength.
"Another week of this practice and I will be able to reach the second stage of the golden core, and if I find someone with a large supply of negative energy, I can even reach the third stage in just a month!" Bai Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction and looked at the courtesan.
It seemed as if the girl had become several years younger. Bai Yunsheng chuckled and walked out of the room, he paid Wen Qingge for the courtesan's service and left the brothel under the envious glances of the male customers and the embarrassed glances of the women and Wen Qingge.
After a while, the courtesan who was serving Bai Yunsheng woke up and limped out of the VIP room. The other courtesans began to ask her what they were doing.
"I-I don't know… But I feel so satisfied…" She said sheepishly, trying to stand up.
The other courtesans couldn't help but notice that their friend looked younger than before, and their friend's limping left the impression that their "occupation" was very exciting.
However, there was one woman who was confused by the courtesan's transformation.
Wen Qingge looked at her employee with wide eyes.
"Her body has become clean!" — she thought in shock — "All the negative energy that surrounded this girl's body evaporated and only the purest Qi Yin remained! If she cultivates, she will reach great heights and everyone will want to become her master... What have you done to her, Mr. Bai..."
While Wen Qingge was looking at the courtesan, she involuntarily became interested in Bai Yunsheng and decided to watch him for a while until she found out what kind of magic he had done...
***
Continuing to walk around the city, after he raised his energy a little, Bai Yunsheng thought:
"Maybe I should buy a couple of cultivation books for Xiao Ran? I'm too lazy to teach her myself, and I don't know any techniques in principle..." — before he could finish the thought, it dawned on him.
Bai Yunsheng read 5 volumes of his sister's novel. And each volume contained 800 pages of graphomania. Sister always described every little detail in the novel, and various techniques were among them.
"Thank you, sister, for saving my life once again!" Bai Yunsheng whispered and nodded, continuing to walk.
"Thanks to the novel, I know many cultivation techniques of this world. Such techniques are divided into two types: those that are taught hereditarily, that is, the personal techniques of a particular family, and those that everyone can learn. Fortunately, I know 10 good techniques that everyone can learn and 1 hereditary sword technique~
The guy smiled a slight smile, a spark appeared in his empty eyes.
Continuing to mentally think about how to properly use this knowledge, Bai Yunsheng accidentally bumped into someone. When he looked up, his dark eyes that were devoid of life met the even gaze of cold eyes the color of the ocean.
The guy's eyes widened. He didn't understand what was happening and couldn't believe his eyes that crossed with the eyes of someone he hadn't expected to see... Or rather, he hadn't expected to see so early in the story.
"Li Yuhua?" Bai Yunsheng exclaimed in shock, looking at the girl in front of him with a surprised face.
"Have we met?" the girl with black hair and azure eyes, dressed in a silk outfit from the cultivator sect, asked in a cold voice.
"Damn, I said that out loud!" Bai Yunsheng quickly pulled himself together and calmed down.
He took a deep breath, smiled faintly, and leaned forward slightly.
"How could you not know the beautiful flower of the White Jade Sect?" Bai Yunsheng answered in a quiet voice and smiled gently. He immediately felt someone's gaze.
Turning around, he noticed a young guy with black and white hair and red eyes. He wore the black uniform of the White Jade Sect with a black cape and black gloves. He carried a long sword on his hip and a small mouse sat on his shoulder.
"And here's my headache..." flashed through Bai Yunsheng's mind and he frowned.
Bai Yunsheng's empty and lifeless eyes met the cunning and cheerful eyes of the protagonist of this world.
"And you, I assume, are Zhou Yulong?" Bai Yunsheng said in an even tone, looking at the one who was supposed to appear in a month, and not before time.
"Wow, am I really that popular!" Zhou Yulong chuckled, extending his hand.
For a moment, a flash of disdain flashed in Bai Yunsheng's eyes, but he quickly pulled himself together and shook his hand.
"Of course!" Rumors of a genius girl with cultivation talent in the White Jade Sect quickly spread throughout the world! And this rumor is not complete without a rumor about a young guy who follows her everywhere like a loyal dog! - He answered with a sweet smile, although his lifeless eyes spoiled the impression.
Zhou Yulong shuddered and smiled awkwardly, creating distance with Li Yuhua. The action did not go unnoticed by Bai Yunsheng, who immediately frowned and thought, "Something is wrong here..."
"What the hell!? Why did the protagonist start avoiding Li Yuhua? This idiot chosen one of fate should have been running after her like a henpecked husband, and the words that everyone knows that he is running after Li Yuhua like a tail for him is like a reason for pride! And this continued throughout both of his regressions..." - Bai Yunsheng thought sullenly to himself, going through the options for changing the main characters.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Yunsheng smiled at the unexpected guests.
"Have you arrived for the tournament?"
Zhou Yulong was about to reply when Li Yuhua beat him to it.
"That's right, we heard the news that the tournament has been postponed and will be held earlier than planned!"
Bai Yunsheng was surprised and frowned.
"Fuck, this is already a problem... I bought Xiao Ran so that she would protect me from this guy, but for now she is too weak and can't do anything to him! Ah, I'll have to rely on myself..." Bai Yunsheng thought to himself and he remembered that the reason why Zhou Yulong beat up the original Bai Yunsheng was because he was pestering Li Yuhua and if Lin Fan (the current Bai Yunsheng) doesn't do that, then everything will be fine!
However, even here there are problems. Zhou Yulong is a regressor, so he will immediately understand that something is wrong if everything is not like in his past life... God, what a pain in the ass...
To be continued...
