Stealing the Yuri Protagonist Harem

Chapter 121: You Got Lucky

"Ah, ahahaha Brother Luo, you've been so busy these days. Why do you have the time to visit the Pavilion today?" Long Dahai forced a smile and nonchalantly folded the papers and tucked them into his sleeve.

"Not that busy, actually. Since I'm sitting in the pavilion head's seat now, I need to drop by from time to time." Luo Wusheng patted his shoulder. "No need to hide it, I've read it all, and I overheard what you guys were saying just now."

Both of the junior brothers turned a shade paler.

The faux divination practitioner Gao Shi tremblingly formed a hand seal and bowed. "This humble one greets pavilion head Luo It's been two days, and your presence is even more remarkable than before. You truly live up to your reputation as the foremost genius of our generation, the future pillar of the Demon Sect Ah, I suddenly remembered that I left my divination flag at the Red Blossom Pavilion last night. I really shouldn't stay any longer. I hope pavilion head Luo won't take offense"

He spoke rapidly, as if his mouth was on fire, and he seemed ready to retreat. But with a slight tremor, he found himself unable to move.

"Well, you can't leave just yet."

Luo Wusheng narrowed his eyes, using his fingers to manipulate his spiritual energy. "There are a few things I'd like to ask you."

He wasn't particularly concerned about those minor rumors.

In a world where information dissemination wasn't very efficient, these kinds of rumors concocted by one or two people would hardly have a chance to spread far. The only possibility was that the Bureau of Investigations might hear about it

Long Dahai was able to get such information purely because he liked to inquire about such matters. He had a few connections among the city's pleasure establishments and received all sorts of mixed and often unreliable information. He enjoyed looking into these things in his leisure time.

Perhaps this was one of his few hobbies in this world where entertainment was scarce.

However, to have gossip actually involve him, the Demon Sect's Holy Saint, was quite something.

After hearing Luo Wusheng's words, Long Dahai and Gao Shi exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat bitter.

Could they refuse?

Probably not.

They could only hope that their current boss wouldn't pursue this matter any further. They had no desire to experience the dangers of the martial world again.

Seeming to cover up the awkwardness, Long Dahai slapped his chest with enthusiasm. "Feel free to ask, Brother Luo. As long as it's something I know, I'll tell you everything!"

"Cough, while I may not be knowledgeable about things outside of my state, if it's something I know and can speak of, I definitely won't hide it."

Seeing his companions acting this way, Gao Shi quickly followed suit. He even took his divination plate out of his sleeve, putting on a professional diviner's appearance.

. . . . . .

Half an hour later, Luo Wusheng left the Demon Artifact Pavilion.

First, after confirming it, he verified that the qi-seed in his dantian wouldn't react to others.

For the sake of sample consistency, he even went to find the Su family's young lady who was currently flirting with Old Wang. After chatting briefly with Su Susu, he confirmed that it wasn't a gender-related issue.

This meant that, at present, the qi-seed's reaction was exclusive to Lu Yuliu and Bai Xiaoyao.

As for the commonality between the two both of them were main character-level characters?

Luo Wusheng decided that he would test if speaking with the Empress or the Little Fox demon empress would produce the same results. After all, the Empress had summoned him for an audience in the last two days, and the Little Fox demon empress would awaken tomorrow.

However, for now, even if the qi-seed displayed some agitation, it would ultimately revert to its initial state, indicating that it hadn't yet reached a critical point of change.

(But if even face-to-face conversations only result in a slight reaction, then progressing further wouldn't that be)

Quietly tucking away his daring thoughts, Luo Wusheng recalled some information he had gotten from Long Dahai.

As for why he didn't ask Gao Shi Well, that guy was just too useless.

He initially thought that since he was a disciple of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics, he might have more insight into the divination Art, and maybe even provide him with some information about the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics's master.

However, that guy shook his head in terror.

He dared not speak, dared not speak.

As a disciple of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics, he was well aware of how terrifying their master's Heavenly Mechanism Art was. If he dared to speak ill of their master here, his return to the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics might be indefinitely delayed.

Although he had enjoyed his time at the Demon Artifact Pavilion these past few days and could still indulge in revelry with Long Dahai and his buddies at night, his entire fortune was still in the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics.

Seeing this, Luo Wusheng realized that continuing to pester the fake diviner wasn't very meaningful, so he decided to ask Long Dahai a few questions.

Long Dahai did provide him with some valuable insights.

For example, he asked about the "Wandering Immortal Inn."

Luo Wusheng wasn't very familiar with the royal city. Most of what he knew came from the original story, where he followed the footsteps of the main character to explore the locations they visited. Other than that, he had some knowledge about major forces like the immortal nation and the various major Demon Artifact Pavilions, which were his business competitors.

He only knew about the Wandering Immortal Inn in the northern part of the city. It was specifically established for disciples from various sects who came to royal city to compete in the Human Immortal List. In the original story, Lu Yuliu stayed there after arriving in the royal city, which led to the discovery of the true form of the northern city's demonic clan.

As for the Wandering Immortal Inn, he had only skimmed through some information before. He knew that it was an establishment of the Green Province Martial Alliance in the immortal nation.

So, he took a chance by asking Long Dahai, who hailed from Green Province.

And he did get the information he wanted.

Unlike other major sects dominating a particular region, the Green Province Martial Alliance consisted of a collection of major sects and independent cultivators from Green Province. As long as a sect or an independent cultivator met the Martial Alliance's mission objectives, they could bear the title of a Martial Alliance cultivator, receive protection from the Alliance, and enjoy the benefits of major sects.

The Wandering Immortal Inn was actually an establishment held under the name of an independent cultivator within the Martial Alliance.

(In other words, it's available for purchase.)

Luo Wusheng felt relieved.

If it was a sect's establishment, even if he could buy it, the cost would be exorbitant. Although he was wealthy, he didn't want to be taken for a ride. If he couldn't purchase it directly, he would have to think of another way to increase his chances of obtaining good fortune.

The current situation was in line with his intentions.

However, he was a bit disappointed that while Long Dahai knew some information, he had no clue about what made this inn special.

But why did his so-called good fortune seem to be related to this inn?

Well, no matter what, he would stick to his original plan: purchase the inn and renovate it in the next two days.

The plan was well thought-out; he was determined to secure this good fortune!

However

"Want to buy my inn? Of course you can. The price isn't high, just twenty Star-Moon Jade will do~"

The white-haired ancient legal loli stood on a wooden platform, looking down at the bewildered young man with a mischievous smile on her face.

"It's a bargain for you."
