Chapter 33: The Vixen's Little Fox Spirit
Chapter 33: The Vixen’s Little Fox Spirit
Ye Shu hurried to catch up, arriving by her side.
It must be said that today was quite lively. The main road was packed with bustling onlookers, and the shouts of vendors filled the air.
If it were a child, they might easily get lost in this sea of people.
Ye Shu suggested, “Master, how about we head into the Lantern Festival?”
He pulled out two admission tickets given to him by Bai Rourou.
The outer layer of Luoyang City didn’t require tickets, but to enter the inner area where the Lantern Festival was held, admission tickets were necessary.
Because of this restriction, the outer area was much more crowded than the inside.
Once inside, it should be much quieter.
“Hmm, that’s fine,” Luo Jiuyan replied.
Luo Jiuyan wasn’t particularly fond of the crowded environment outside either. Several times, she had nearly bumped into people. If it weren’t for her using her spiritual power to push them away, she might have lost her temper and unleashed her wrath!
If she really decided to act, this day of universal celebration could quickly turn into a day of disaster for everyone!
Hearing her agreement, Ye Shu walked ahead to clear the way.
Thanks to his striking appearance and extraordinary aura, people naturally made way for him out of respect.
Soon, a clear path opened up before them.
Luo Jiuyan followed naturally behind him, watching his tall and straight figure with a slight nod of approval.
“Please present your admission tickets to enter!”
When they reached the inner city, the guards stopped Ye Shu.
Ye Shu handed over the tickets, and the guards let them through, urging them to hurry inside.
Just as they were about to enter, a coquettish voice called out from behind, dripping with charm from a figure clad in revealing silks. “Oh dear, these men of mine aren’t really people, they’re just beasts. Can’t you make an exception?”
“Miss, please don’t make things difficult for us. We’re just following the rules.”
Ye Shu and Luo Jiuyan turned around simultaneously to see a heavily made-up woman surrounded by several young men arguing with the guards.
Her appearance was striking, the kind you wouldn’t forget after just one glance.
Her plump thighs rested on the heads of two young men kneeling on the ground. Two others were massaging her shoulders, while a young boy bent over, holding a fruit platter to serve her.
Even the fruit pits she spat out were caught in the mouths of others, a sight that was both nauseating and bizarre.
This woman, surrounded by her entourage of men, was having trouble entering the inner city.
She didn’t want to spend extra money on admission tickets for her “beasts,” as she deemed them unworthy of the expense, her voice laced with disdain.
“Someone from the Joyful Union Sect?” Ye Shu instinctively guessed her identity.
It was said that the Joyful Union Sect’s leader specialized in the art of controlling men, with a rotation of eight or nine men daily, practicing a top-tier cultivation method of absorbing yang energy to supplement her yin.
The woman before them seemed to fit the description of a Joyful Union Sect disciple.
Moreover, her high status was evident from the number of men she controlled—six in total.
She was either a direct disciple or a highly respected elder of the sect.
At this moment, Luo Jiuyan muttered under her breath, “The vixen’s little fox spirit.”
From her words, Ye Shu caught a hint of something.
It was said that among Luo Jiuyan’s junior sisters, one was the leader of the Joyful Union Sect.
“Little fox spirit” suggested that this woman was a direct disciple of the Joyful Union Sect’s leader.
But none of that mattered now. They should just head inside and not waste time on these people.
Just as Ye Shu was about to turn and leave, a delighted voice called out from behind.
“Brother! Please wait!”
Turning around, he saw the Joyful Union Sect disciple staring at him with unblinking eyes, like a wolf eyeing a tender lamb.
She kicked the two men beneath her feet, causing them to yelp in pain, yet their faces were filled with blissful expressions.
She flew over to Ye Shu, not hiding her admiration in the slightest. “Brother, how about we have some fun together? I promise you’ll be satisfied!”
“Audacious!”
Before Ye Shu could react, Luo Jiuyan let out a furious roar, her icy aura beginning to spread.
Ye Shu felt as if his entire body had been pierced by ten thousand cold needles, freezing him to the bone.
“Master, calm down,” he quickly whispered to Luo Jiuyan. “We’re here to enjoy ourselves, not to destroy the city.”
Hearing this, Luo Jiuyan’s expression softened slightly, and she reined in her aura. Instead, she fixed a cold glare on the Joyful Union Sect disciple, who was now trembling in fear.
How foolish can you be? Do you even know who you’re trying to steal a man from? Even your sect leader wouldn’t dare try such a thing!
Ye Shu gave her a look that said, “Let me handle this,” then turned to face the Joyful Union Sect disciple.
“Consider this a small warning. Next time, you won’t be so fortunate.”
He spoke with quiet firmness, fully aware of the truth: this promiscuous woman had no idea who she was dealing with.
This was the infamous Nine Nether Demoness, Luo Jiuyan!
If she wanted, she could flip Luoyang City upside down and destroy it without a second thought.
If today weren’t meant for leisure and enjoyment, this woman’s soul would have been shattered into nothingness.
So, she was truly fortunate.
However, his words only made her frown in displeasure.
What kind of shrew dares to speak to me like this? If I mention my master’s name, she’ll probably kneel and beg for forgiveness! she thought to herself.
Zhang Hongyan had never been treated this way within her sect, let alone in a mundane city like this. Being threatened by a random couple was something she couldn’t tolerate.
Regardless of her status as a direct disciple of the sect leader, adored by her master, even the mere mention of being a Joyful Union Sect disciple was enough to intimidate countless lowlifes.
If she really revealed her identity, wouldn’t this couple kneel and lick her feet, begging for mercy?
Zhang Hongyan couldn’t help but think this way, but when she came back to her senses, she realized the two had already disappeared into the inner city.
She was furious. “Chase them! I’m determined to have that man today!”
She couldn’t get Ye Shu’s face out of her mind and was determined not to let this go.
Inside the inner city, a loud bang echoed as fireworks lit up the sky.
The colorful display painted the heavens with a dazzling spectacle, captivating everyone in that moment of beauty.
Ye Shu noticed Luo Jiuyan tilting her head slightly, gazing at the sky.
He smiled and said, “Master, let’s go buy some fireworks and set them off.”
Luo Jiuyan snorted coldly. “A spell from me would be far more impressive than these mundane things. I have no interest in such trivialities.”
Ye Shu scratched his head and chuckled. “This is your disciple’s idea. I just wanted to trouble you a bit. Please humor me, Master.”
“What a silly disciple,” she said, her tone one of helplessness, but she relented and headed toward the firework stall with a reluctant curiosity.
