Chapter 465: Chapter 303: Daoist Robe Beauty, Reunion with Old Friends, Ruthless Flower Thief, Leave None Alive

He Wafu asked, "Dozens of them? Are you really so rich you don’t know how to spend it?"

The waiter replied, "That’s the kind consideration behind it. City Lord He said Flying Dragon City is remote and its people are poor. Often there are friends from the Jianghu who come a long way to visit him because of his reputation. He feels deeply that he cannot entertain them properly. Thinking of the winding roads along the way, he only hopes that anyone passing through Flying Dragon City does not have to eat and sleep exposed to the elements, and can also enjoy the scenery and have fun."

"So he spent money to build the guesthouse clean and elegant. Therefore, since you have come from afar and could stay at such a guesthouse, you should really thank City Lord He for his care and generosity."

Li Xian thought to himself, "If the rumors are true, this City Lord He must indeed be a very good person." He was very curious about Flying Dragon City and asked, "Waiter, are there any special attractions in Flying Dragon City?"

The waiter said, "There are quite a few." With great enthusiasm, he detailed the city’s scenery. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The most famous place has to be "Jieyou Tower." It was built with all the strength of Flying Dragon City, and it is said that City Lord He loves to make friends, and his friends are spread all over the world. Occasionally, if both parties harbor resentment, or if there is a conflict of interest, and both are friends of City Lord He, they go together to Jieyou Tower, where City Lord He listens to the grievances and demands of both sides and mediates.

Before even entering Flying Dragon City, they already had some understanding. The waiter served tea and water, and quickly brought all the dishes, placing several plates of meat on the table, making everyone’s mouth water. In the guesthouse’s main hall, the wind and snow howled outside, but inside it was warm and comfortable, with people drinking and eating meat, creating a lively atmosphere.

As they ate with great interest, all sorts of raunchy jokes emerged. All those present were disciples of the Flower Cage Sect, and in their daily activities of seeking flowers, picking flowers, capturing flowers, playing with flowers, and teasing flowers, their minds were full of women, so the topics they discussed naturally couldn’t escape being "raunchy" and "vulgar."

The guesthouse door suddenly swung open, letting in a blast of wind and snow. A female voice came from outside, "Master, there’s a guesthouse here. Quick, come in and warm up."

Followed by a male voice, "I originally thought we’d have to sleep in the wild tonight. We’re in luck; Master, be careful, there’s a lot of snow and the road is slippery."

Upon hearing this voice, Li Xian felt it was somewhat familiar. He had definitely heard it somewhere before, and turned his head to look outside the door. A young woman in a green robe first entered the guesthouse, using her slender hands to pat her shoulders, shaking off the accumulated snow.

This woman’s appearance was charming and beautiful, with a jade-embedded treasure sword hanging at her side. When illuminated by candlelight, the sword shimmered brilliantly, appearing quite extraordinary. Although in the midst of winter, her attire was light and graceful: a green silk tunic with gold thread and embroidered fish patterns on top, with a sachet and jade pendant at her waist, and a short skirt revealing her white legs below. The wind and snow set off her delicate appearance like fine jade.

She wore long boots made of animal skin. Small flakes of snow floated to the edges of her boots and slipped through into her shoes. The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, apparently sensing it, but did not show it, maintaining an expression of pride. The disciples of the Flower Cage Sect stared, entranced, envious of the snowflakes’ good fortune.

Lively and charming, a light came to her eyes.

The Great Wu region is vast, with a variety of customs and traditions. Women’s attire is unrestricted and determined entirely by their temperament and character.

All the Flower Cage Sect members are lascivious individuals. After days of hardship, they were suddenly met with such beauty, and all eyes turned to her, with gazes that were blatantly obvious. The young woman frowned, stepping back half a step. Her senior brother entered the guesthouse, just happening to block her front, giving the crowd a sidelong glance, with a warning in his eyes.

This senior brother was distinguished and dashing, with long hair tied up, wearing a sword-shaped headdress, appearing very extraordinary and imposing.

Li Xian recognized the two as "Wang Long" and "Ji Hui," whom he had met in "Brocade City." In the past, when Li Xian fled Yihetang Manor, he passed through Brocade City, stumbling upon the Luo Family’s wanted notice for the Black-Faced Bat King. From Wang Long and Ji Hui, Li Xian learned of the details, subsequently lying in wait and successfully securing the Human Yellow Essence Treasure "Yellow Nine Ginseng."

The region is vast. He thought they might never meet again after that encounter, but unexpectedly, in the icy wilderness and isolated inn, they met once more. Li Xian was filled with curiosity, pondering endlessly:

"Flying Dragon City is located in Huaiyin Prefecture, while Jing Chun Mountain, where these two are from, is situated in the remote Qiong Heavenly Mansion. The two places are far apart; how did they come here as well? I just heard the word ’Master’; could it be their master has come too?"

Wang Long and Ji Hui stepped aside in opposite directions, allowing a woman in robe attire to enter the guesthouse.

The beautiful woman held a duster, with a fair face, red lips, a high nose, and delicate eyebrows. Her Taoist robe was a bit loose, yet it was hard to fully conceal her graceful curves. Her stature was very tall, almost the same as Wang Long.

She held the duster and lowered her eyes as she glanced over everyone.

Because the guesthouse door was open, wind and snow blew into the room, swirling around her before blowing back outside again. This detail was extremely difficult to notice as the wind is formless, and snow falls erratically, and the beautiful Taoist woman stood right at the entrance, with the exchange of wind and snow happening in an instant.

Li Xian had exceptional eyesight, so he noticed, thinking to himself, "This beautiful Taoist woman is incredibly powerful; martial arts have already integrated into her every move. I am now hiding in the Flower Cage Lair and am considered a flower thief myself. If a conflict really arises, I must prioritize self-preservation." He grew increasingly vigilant.

Wei Ze laughed, "Oh, in this windy and snowy weather, how could it be that the heavens find us drinking and eating meat boring and send two beauties to us instead?"

Ji Hui frowned and scolded, "We are just entering to lodge, what does it have to do with you, and why are you speaking out of turn?" She glanced around, spotting tables full of wine and dishes, feeling genuinely hungry. The hall was quite spacious, with plenty of empty tables remaining.

She pointed at an empty table and said, "Let’s sit over there." Her words were directed to her master, "Jing Chun Daoist."

But the Flower Cage disciple Wei Ze, deeply immersed in the Flower Cage Sect for a long time and steeped in bad habits, loved to tease women, and here there was not only Tang Feng but also many fellow disciples. His courage grew, and he cheerfully said, "You’re being distant, really distant. Such beautiful ladies, aren’t those tables and chairs cold? Why not sit in brother’s lap instead?"
