Chapter 187: Chapter 126: Thousand Star Lake Wushuang Pavilion, Honing One’s Mindset !

Translator: 549690339

Being able to rent Wushuang Pavilion’s houseboat and enjoy the romance of the Thousand Stars Lake with a beautiful woman were privileges enjoyed only by martial artists blessed with deep pockets.

Most martial artists would go to the moored pleasure houseboat, listen to songs, watch performances, and once in high spirits, they would invite one or two beauties and hire a room for fun.

It must be mentioned, though, that there was no charge for entering the pleasure houseboat. However, the cost of tea and set meals onboard were far from cheap.

The martial artists from the Inner Domain had their pride. So even though there was no fee to board the houseboat, they would not mooch off their hospitality.

Once they entered, they would all order a portion of tea and snacks.

So far, there was not a single martial artist who had entered without ordering even a cup of tea.

Xu Yan arrived before Wushuang Pavilion in apprehension, his little Spirit Crystal would probably be spent here, this was his hard-earned savings.

However, for the sake of honing his mental state, he could only bear the pain of spending.

“I’m so poor!”

The more Xu Yan got to understand the Thousand Stars Lake, the more he bemoaned his poverty.

What surprised him was that entering the pleasure houseboat didn’t cost any money!

What a delightful surprise indeed!

He was in Wushuang Pavilion to sharpen his mental state, to achieve tranquility in the face of charms, undisturbed by external factors, all for the purpose of improving the profound state of mind: “No woman in mind, Sword Dao like God”.

He wasn’t here for pleasure, so if he could avoid spending money, he won’t spend a single Spirit Crystal.

Inside the houseboat, it was bustle, filled with beautiful women. Which martial artist who came wouldn’t be moved by this scenery?

Who would not be distracted by it?

But Xu Yan came here for the purpose of tempering his mindset, overcoming all these external interferences, and achieving a clear state of mind, being moved by nothing.

“Please!” said the servant.

The boy smiled, this young man seemed to be here for the first time.

Wait until he serves a pot of good tea, a plate of good snacks, and praises him a few times, then wouldn’t he readily bring out Spirit Crystal?

He had seen this scenario too many times.

Xu Yan boarded the boat and went straight to the upper deck, then he chose an empty seat and sat down. He watched the groups of graceful women in pink clothes who jumped out from below, swaying their beautiful bodies in dance.

Their dance was graceful, quite liberating, their faces charming, eyes full of passion, seemingly capable of stealing one’s soul.

It was obvious that they were trained rigorously. What shocked Xu Yan more, these dancing women, were all of the seventh stage.

Although their actual combat capability was somewhat inferior compared to regular seventh-stage martial artists, they were still seventh-stage martial artists, which showcased the deep foundation and powerful backing of Wushuang Pavilion.

Every martial artist watched with fascination, even if they couldn’t afford to invite one of the ladies from Wushuang Pavilion for a joyful time.

Ordering a pot of tea and a plate of snacks, watching the beautiful dances, listening to the songs that touched the soul, causing the blood in one’s body to surge, shifting a little, time passed joyfully!

The servant carrying a teapot and a plate of snacks walked towards Xu Yan, “Sir, here are your tea and snacks.”

“Wait a minute.”

Xu Yan stopped him, asking with a serious face: “Do these tea and snacks cost money?”

The servant was confused: ???

What was he talking about, did he think they were running a charity?!

“Sir, you must be joking, of course, these tea and snacks cost money.”

On hearing this, Xu Yan shook his head: “Go away, I didn’t order this. Don’t disturb me.”

The servant was stunned, “Sir, everyone who comes here orders tea…”

“Is there a rule that says you must order tea when you come in here?”

Xu Yan asked seriously.

“There isn’t…”

The servant shook his head.

“Then it’s fine, ordering tea is their business. I’m not ordering. Go away, don’t disturb me!”

Xu Yan waved his hand.

This was ridiculous, he had to work hard to earn these Spirit Crystals, he still needed to use them to buy Spiritual Medicine. This concerned the martial arts cultivation of his parents and family members.

How could he just waste it?

The servant was flabbergasted, “But sir….”

“Go away, 1 didn’t order tea. If you don’t go, I still won’t pay.”

Xu Yan spoke decisively and subsequently sat cross-legged, his gaze fixated on the dancing girl below, not even blinking an eyelid.

The servant was shocked. Amazed at Xu Yan’s thick-skinned behavior, he quickly left with the tea to find his manager.

The first free rider since the establishment of Wushuang Pavilion has appeared.

Xu Yan didn’t care about the servant’s thoughts. At this moment, he was carefully watching the wonderful figure of the dancing girl downstairs, his heart gradually calming down.

Gradually, all the dancing, the singing, all of it seemed to fade away in his ear.

Everything seemed to be isolated from him, his heart was clear.

“Indeed, martial artists truly shine with their dance moves and physical prowess. They greatly surpass the consorts of Emperor Qi in beauty. However, they no longer stir my heart.”

Xu Yan sighed inwardly.

The entertainment house of Wushuang truly is a valuable place to temper one’s state of mind. And it doesn’t cost a cent!

A servant escorted over a manager.

“Sir, what is it that makes you feel that splurging isn’t worth it?”

The manager glanced at Xu Yan, finding it hard to believe that he was the most blatant character to ever step into the entertainment house.

He began speaking with a smile.

Xu Yan contemplated for a moment before responding: “Your dancer is average at best; she cannot stir my heart.”

What?

The manager looked at Xu Yan bewilderediy, could he possibly be an old patron of the entertainment world, no longer emotionally moved by ordinary dancers?

“This is a public place. If our dancers do not appeal to you, it’s understandable. Our pleasure boat here houses twelve private rooms, each one hosting a unique beauty.

“Their dance moves, singing, and skills are all absolutely exceptional. Certainly capable of satisfying you sir, although their charges aren’t small.”

The manager’s meaning was clear, it all depended on whether Xu Yan could afford it!

Xu Yan pondered for a moment, then pulled out a hefty stack of spirit notes from his pocket, money hard-earned from defeating many a grandmaster.

“I have the money, but how do I know that the beauties in your private rooms will satisfy me?”

Xu Yan asked with a frown.

Upon seeing this, the manager realized that the young man was indeed wealthy.

Just that pile of spirit notes alone was worth at least tens of thousands of spirit crystals.

“Rest assured sir, all who enter our private rooms come out satisfied, we will surely meet your expectations.”

“You sure?”

Xu Yan asked earnestly.

“Absolutely!”

“What if after looking around, I’m not satisfied, not interested?”

“You won’t have to pay a single cent!”

The manager replied solemnly.

“Very well, take me to the private rooms!”

Xu Yan agreed with a nod.

“But sir…”

“Once I’m satisfied, 1’11 naturally pay. You expect me to pay before I’ve seen what’s on offer. What if it’s not up to my standard, how would 1 get a refund? If I am pleased and satisfied, why should Wushuang’s entertainment house worry about payment?”

Xu Yan spoke with a frown.

Upon reflection, the manager thought it sounded reasonable.

Who would dare to cause trouble at Wushuang’s entertainment house?

Besides, this young man was at the prime of his youth, full of vitality. Even if he was a seasoned patron of the entertainment world, how could he resist the allure? Especially since the twelve private rooms were all occupied by captivating beauties skilled in the art of seduction.

Such young guys always found it hardest to resist.

And once he takes action, is he truly going to refuse to pay?

Did he think Wushuang’s entertainment house was a charity?

“This way please, sir!”

The manager, wearing a big smile on his face, led Xu Yan upstairs to the top tier of the pleasure boat.

They stopped in front of a private room, “Please, sir,” he motioned.

Xu Yan nodded and stepped inside.

The room was gorgeous, and a beautiful woman greeted him with an enchanting allure. Her eyes shone with passion, as if gazing at a loved one. Each move she made was highly seductive.

She was adorned in a thin, pink veil. Through the window light, one could faintly glimpse the magnificence beneath.

Sir, I’ve been waiting for you.”

As soon as she spoke, her voice was soft and seductive, as if it were gently scratching at his soul.

Xu Yan took a deep breath inwardly, “She’s a lot better than the dancers, actually making my heart flutter a bit, not bad. I can continue to strengthen my state of mind here.”

He sat down on a chair and asked, “What can you do? Show me.”

“Then you better watch closely. How about I play a tune for you?”

The woman posed charmingly, her tender white hands plucking the strings of a lute. With each grimace and grin, her movements enriched in time with the melody of the lute.

Her body moved with the music, flashing glimmers of endless enticing charm..
