Shi Qingjun, who cultivates the Yin Yang Dao, naturally understood quickly.

Although she doesn’t need a Dao companion yet and isn’t interested in one at all, if triggered by the most normal woman’s needs, the next step would indeed require emotional needs... No, it doesn’t necessarily have to be emotional needs, as long as it pursues the physical Yin and Yang balance?

The theory is like this.

She turned around, closely staring at Ah Qing’s beautiful face and graceful figure.

According to this logic, what fuel does Ah Qing seek by receiving guests in the brothel?

It’s very simple.

It’s men, it’s romance.

Ah Qing likely lacks men.

And undeniably, Xu Chang’an, who is very possibly the reincarnation of an immortal, is the best choice for the last piece in a woman’s emotional puzzle, so Ah Qing’s interest in Xu Chang’an, calling him ’Young Master Xu’ repeatedly, can be understood.

After thinking, Shi Qingjun nodded at Ah Qing’s bewildered gaze.

Indeed, on the path of women’s cultivation, Ah Qing might actually be ahead of her.

"Shi Qingjun, let me ask you, what kind of look is that in your eyes as you gaze at me?" Ah Qing felt a chill down her spine from Shi Qingjun’s stare.

"Nothing." Shi Qingjun wanted to refuse to respond but, seeing Ah Qing’s suspicious gaze, she still said, "You choose to receive guests here, seeking the balance of the five desires and Yin Yang, so it’s nothing."

"...?"

"???"

Hearing this, Ah Qing was stunned for a while, then her pretty face flushed red instantly, her teeth grinding as if wishing to devour every ounce of flesh from the woman before her.

"You woman..." Ah Qing gritted her teeth.

She had thought Shi Qingjun truly was a pure and clean woman, yet she didn’t expect her to understand everything... indeed, she had subconsciously ignored it; how could Shi Qingjun, who cultivates the Yin Yang Dao, possibly not understand matters of Yin and Yang?

But...

Ah Qing couldn’t understand why Shi Qingjun would regard her so-called receiving of clients as greedy for physical desires?

Though she was somewhat cheap, she didn’t appear that ravenous, right? Not to the extent of willingly falling into the brothel for such matters...

Ah Qing thought merely imagining Shi Qingjun as a courtesan was already rare defamation, but in Shi Qingjun’s mind, she had already become the most despicable brothel woman just by performing a dance on stage.

Even though Ah Qing knew Shi Qingjun wasn’t doing it on purpose and must have misunderstood something, it didn’t stop her from being angry.

"You really are this kind of woman..."

"Me?"

"Shi Qingjun." Ah Qing’s smile did not reach her eyes, her dimples slightly sinking as she pointed to her own face: "I am receiving guests here as a musician."

"Musician?" Shi Qingjun tilted her head.

"I am a Qing Guan’Er, do you understand." Ah Qing spoke with her nails embedded in her flesh: "Not a red courtesan selling body, much less the kind of person who indulges deeply as you said."

Who could have thought that with such identities, their dialogue would unfold this way?

Ah Qing was beginning to doubt her life.

Yet what made her doubt life further was yet to come.

"Qing Guan’Er? What is that?" Shi Qingjun blinked, completely unaware of these terms.

"...You." Ah Qing clenched her fist, resisting the urge to punch Shi Qingjun’s face.

This woman understood everything when belittling others, yet listened as though confused when it was explained to her.

Indeed, she was difficult to communicate with Shi Qingjun.

Moreover, she was indeed high above, whereby through mere assumptions, she cast someone of the same Qiankun Realm as herself into filth.

Even if she clung onto Young Master Xu with great cheeks, at least her body was clean; disregarding cultivation, considering from the angle of women, Ah Qing believed she still had some charm...

Not expecting to be insulted by Shi Qingjun this way and even have to explain, lest she truly become a woman with lips tried by thousands in her heart, which was truly vexing.

"Qing Guan’Er means not needing men, selling art rather than..." Ah Qing took a deep breath, starting to explain the rules in the brothel to Shi Qingjun.

It took a long time before Shi Qingjun nodded, indicating she understood. As she sized Ah Qing up and down in her extremely vibrant attire, she softly said, "Not indulging in desires, I misunderstood."

"I have nothing to say to you." Ah Qing gritted her teeth, then took a deep breath: "Nothing more to say to you, don’t disturb my performance in the future."

"In the future?" Shi Qingjun asked.

"Yes, in the future." Ah Qing nodded.

This considered an open declaration to Shi Qingjun.

Having unexpectedly managed to communicate with Shi Qingjun, Ah Qing had thoughts of ’reporting’ to her, rather than fearing the day she might be discovered by Chaoyun Sect during performances in Flower Moon Building.

"If you don’t like it, kill me, and then... I’ll bring in a new avatar." Ah Qing said, her gaze sweeping over the immobilized but worried-looking girls beneath the stage, her lips curling into a smile.

Having given up on Heavenly Dao, and feeling the warmth from the girls, she had no reason to return to Abyss Sea.

In a sense, saying she indulged in desires was correct.

"Mm." Shi Qingjun nodded, indicating her acknowledgment.

She wouldn’t act.

If she were to act, she would have done so long ago.

Not understanding why Ah Qing stays in the brothel is one thing, intervening is another.

"Coming here shouldn’t count as disturbing." Shi Qingjun said.

"What do you mean?" Ah Qing was startled.

"I promised them," Shi Qingjun thought for a moment, then said, "to often come here to listen to the music."

Ah Qing: "..."

She heard this and bit her lips lightly.

Wait... wait.

Let her organize this.

Undoubtedly, after today, she would perform on stage in the future.

Then, Shi Qingjun promised the girls in Flower Moon Building to often come here to listen to music...

Doesn’t this mean she would be performing for Shi Qingjun in the future?

"...?"

What is this progression?

She somehow couldn’t understand it.

"Why do you want to often come here to listen to music?" Ah Qing’s watery eyes met Shi Qingjun’s gaze.

"I promised them." Shi Qingjun’s tone was calm.

At this moment, whether she liked Flower Moon Building was no longer important; it was about the promise.

This is a promise.

Since it is her promise, it already surpasses the weight of all treasures in this world.

Ah Qing also understood this principle, thus at this moment completely let go of the idea of stopping Shi Qingjun...

But it’s unusual.

She wouldn’t leave Flower Moon Building, nor could she stop Shi Qingjun from coming to listen to music.

How did things become like this?

Not long ago, the woman she was very wary of, still feared, then she would perform for her in the future?

"...Forget it." Ah Qing thought now wasn’t the time to consider these, at worst when Shi Qingjun comes to Flower Moon Building, she’d avoid her.

She vaguely sensed it by now.

In the future, the development of her relationship with Shi Qingjun feared it would go in increasingly peculiar directions.

Moreover...

Ah Qing gave Shi Qingjun a deep glance.

She seemed to joke with Shi Qingjun, yet was carefully probing this woman’s true intentions.

Up to now, Ah Qing couldn’t understand why Shi Qingjun, a woman who wouldn’t care about the huge defects in Wen Li’s Divine Soul, would come to Flower Moon Building without reason.

There are many reasons.

The biggest possibility... is because of Young Master Xu.

The worst assumption is not only her eyeing the young master, but Shi Qingjun had this intention as well.

And the possibility is very high.

Because regarding romance, in the past, it would never have been spoken by Shi Qingjun. Her ability to speculate about her undoubtedly meant she had the premise of moving with a mortal heart.

Would Shi Qingjun be moved by Young Master Xu?

Of course, she would.

Ah Qing said decisively.

Just like how a thief perceives someone’s hand is dirty, given they are both Qiankun Realm, why wouldn’t Shi Qingjun be able to like if she did?

Therefore, be careful of Shi Qingjun.
