: : The Little Trouble Xu Lao Won (10)


    Trantor: 549690339


    Upon hearing Tang Luo’s words, Pan Xichang was so angry that her whole body was shaking. From a young age, all the men who saw her praised her for her beauty. Ever since she reached the right age, all men gazed at her with desire, even some of the male elders in her family did so. Sometimes, she could even feel heated gazes on her from behind, as if they were searing through her clothes.


    Since then, she knew how powerful her beauty was. Today, Tang Luo actually dared to say that she wasn’t even deserving of being called beautiful. How dare he!


    This was an utter humiliation. Not only was Pan Xichang trembling with rage, even the onlooking crowd of Xiling citizens couldn’t bear to see it. While they may have somehow understood Tang Luo’s ims about their inadequate martial arts attainment, saying that these three youngdies were not beautiful amounted to tant nder.


    Perhaps there might indeed be women more beautiful than these three youngdies somewhere in the world, but no one would deny the beauty of these three regardless of their city of residence.


    A wave of boos started to raise from the crowd. Even facing Tang Tianjiao, Xiling’s most famous warrior, people wouldn’t tolerate such tant nder.


    It is said that an army can embolden a person. Normally, the people of Xiling would never dare boo at Tang Luo. But now, united in their indignation, they sought to make their displeasure heard.


    Among the three youngdies, the most resistant was the little princess of the Bai Family, Bai Jie. Often referred to as the pearl of the Bai Family, she was stunning with her clear and bright eyes, long trembling eyshes, snow-white skin that emanated a faint blush, thin lips that were as delicate as rose petals, and her egg-shaped face thatplemented her glowing eyes rendered any man enchanted with just a nce.


    Based purely on appearance, Bai Jie was peerless, but the inherent scent she possessed fascinated others even more. This floral scent was so captivating that anyone who got close enough couldn’t help but breathe it in. The young men of Xiling were no exception, many who saw Bai Jie were utterly infatuated with her.


    But Tang Luo dared to say that she was unworthy solely based on her looks, how could she ept it? The insulted Miss Bai Jie immediately retorted, “If Tang Tianjiao can find a woman more beautiful than me in Xiling, I will ept your words!”


    Being hailed as the first beauty of Xiling and the pearl of the Bai Family, Bai Jie was extremely confident.


    With a touch of pride, Bai Jie held her head high. She looked like a juvenile phoenix spreading its wings, disying her charms. Even Tang Luo could not deny her beauty.


    Tang Luo asked in a somewhat speechless low tone, “I mean, when such a girl appeared, didn’t you notice anything unusualst night?” Such high-level women would be immediately bought out if they showed up in a brothel for even a second! Especially considering they were still virgins. Even Xu Lao didn’t have any awareness of this, and he was ustomed to the pleasures of the world.


    “Well….” Xu Lao was also somewhat embarrassed, “I didn’t look closely, you know, women look pretty much the same in the dark.”


    Last night, Bai Jie’s body scent did intrigue him, but he didn’t pay much attention.


    Tang Luo sighed and ignored his cousin whocked the slightest sense of vignce. He turned to the proud Bai Jie and asked, “Do you know where in Xiling do most women meet their deaths?”


    Then, he turned toward the onlooking crowd and asked, “What about you all, do you know?”


    The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment, unsure of Tang Luo’s intentions, but they sensed a premonition that the direction of this confrontation was heading somewhere unexpected.


    Ignoring Bai Jie’s challenge, Tang Luo, full of arrogance and madness, shouted, “Allow me to tell you, the highest mortality rate among women in Xiling is prostitutes! The ce where women die most frequently is in the brothels! But who can tell me, how did they die!?”


    This question echoed over most of Xiling, leaving a prolonged silence.


    In the Tang Mansion, there were two ces where Tang Luo liked to stay: the Scripture Pavilion and the Wind Media Department.


    The Scripture Pavilion housed countless martial arts techniques collected by the Tang n, which could make him stronger; the Wind Media Department was home to endless information which broadened his horizons.


    No one in the Tang n valued the integration and collection of information more than him. His introduction of information simplification and big data analysis were hailed as revolutionary by the head of Wind Media Department, who exceptionally granted Tang Luo some authority within the department.


    Even though Tang Luo seldom went out, he was very clear about various secrets, the strength and movement of major families in Xiling, and especially the living conditions of its citizens – no secrets could be hidden from him.


    Xiling had been peaceful for hundreds of years, and incidents of people killing in broad daylight were rare. However, the Xiling night imed many lives. Unknown to others, the ce with the highest death toll during the long peace was not amongst ouws or wandering martial artists, but among the prostitutes in the brothels.


    Some martial artists, when venting their desires, tend to act brutally and cruelly at the peak moment of pleasure, and these acts are often lethal to brothel women!


    On the eve of the departure and return of the Wancheng Treasure Ship by Tang Mi, numerous bodies were carried out from brothels in Xiling every night and abandoned at the Chakras. Even on normal days, a prostitute may die on the bed every three to five days.


    However, despite these circumstances, women did not aim to learn martial arts. This was because most martial arts practiced involved body tempering which results in hardening of the muscles, roughening of the skin, and ergement of the skeletal structure. None of which contribute to feminine beauty, thus something that image-conscious women could never ept.


    That’s why the Tianxiang Building was the best brothel in Xiling. Apart from training their prostitutes from a young age, they were also taught a discipline called Yin Liu Jia. Although this discipline was not suitable forbat, it could render women’s skin tight and flexible. Most importantly, a body trained with spiritual power wasn’t so easy to kill, making this discipline an edge inpetition for Tianxiang Building.


    As Tang Luo, who had been to Tianxiang Building, looked carefully, each prostitute had reached the peak of Mortal Realm in terms of cultivation. Because the body needs to be conditioned to such level limit to resist the abusive invasion by the warriors.


    As for the girls on the steps below? Tang Luo disdainfullymented, “If we are talking about that, can you three fragile women who can’t even see your own insides withstand it?”


    The door of the Tang Mansion was nked by two statues of a lion stepping on a pearl. Tang Luo strolled over to one side, ced his hand on the pearl under the lion’s foot, lightly squeezed it, and then addressed the three youngdies, disying the stone dust sifting through his fingers.


    The white stone dust was scattered in the wind. Tang Luo’s gaze inadvertently swept over the chests of the three girls and calmly mentioned, “You can’t withstand a powerful grip in the heat of passion, you can’t bear the strength of a thrust, and you have no idea when death wille after one joyful moment. Aren’t you several notches below the brothel prostitutes!?”


    Although Bai Jie didn’t practice martial arts, she was familiar with spiritual powers. Thus seeing the feat Tang Luo achieved with just physical strength made her soul white with fear. Looking at the stone dust falling from his hand, and again at the deep w mark on the pearl stepped on by the stone lion, she felt a faint ache in her chest..
