Chapter 638: Chapter 302 Old Friends Meet Again_2
Firing a shot and moving to a new location, that’s the key for these wandering demons out there to survive and gradually get stronger.
As for dismantling the local demons’ setups and their power divisions, this was none of their concern.
The butler took the order and left.
You Shuyang returned to his room to wait.
Just as Suo Fengxiang brought the medicine, he pretended to be gravely injured and slept soundly on the bed.
Suo Fengxiang seemed too frightened to wake him, only softly calling him twice before carefully setting down the steaming medicine and preparing to leave.
Now is the time!
You Shuyang murmured in a dreamy tone as if talking in his sleep.
"... Feng Xiang..."
Suo Fengxiang shuddered, her eyes wide open like copper bells, and her breath quickened.
"Senior Brother You?"
She hesitantly spoke, but only heard steady breathing and faint snoring sounds.
"A dream? Senior Brother You dreamed of me? Thoughts by day, dreams by night, he, he has me in his heart!"
Suo Fengxiang, excitedly stayed, returning to her seat, resting her chin on her hands, and grinning as she planned to wait in the room for You Shuyang to wake up.
But what she ended up waiting for was the butler knocking on the door.
"Madam Suo Fengxiang, I am enough here."
Looking at the time and then at the still sleeping Senior Brother You, Suo Fengxiang reluctantly got up to leave.
She planned to go back and get some medicine from the Divine Doctor, and return to You Mansion tomorrow, seeing this as her chance to shine!
As soon as Suo Fengxiang left, You Shuyang opened his eyes.
"Is she gone?"
"She’s gone."
He got up, drank the now cold medicine in one gulp, and then looked at the butler.
"Did you find out?"
"I did. The strongest nearby demon, known as the Blood Demon, has many followers, strong and powerful. And the one with the most profound background is the Red Moon Demon, but we wandering demons can’t gather deeper intelligence. Compared to these two demon leaders, the other demon chiefs seem rather ordinary and not worth joining. I did not investigate further into other areas."
You Shuyang, upon hearing this, closed his eyes in thought.
"Power, Red Moon Demon."
"Strength, Blood Demon."
When he opened his eyes again, he had made a decision.
"We shall join... the Blood Demon!"
Power held little significance for them as outsiders.
What he wanted was a temporary harborage, not an opportunity for advancement.
"I will go and negotiate connections then. It’s not easy to meet the Blood Demon though."
"No worries, the resources of You Mansion should be enough for you to build the connections."
You Shuyang smiled.
It was not easy to meet a demon leader, and even now, they only knew the name, not even what the Blood Demon looked like.
To meet such a high-level demon leader, one must first gain the approval of the lesser leaders under the Blood Demon, to possibly be introduced step by step, to finally meet the Blood Demon himself.
Fortunately, he was quite strong himself.
He believed the Blood Demon would find him, a top fighter, interesting.
...
Luoli Square, Dream Tower.
Amidst enthusiastic cheers, the geisha on stage performed her final act and bowed before stepping down.
The tipsy Dong Xingzhou only then withdrew his gaze, his breath full of the smell of alcohol.
Good fellow, it doesn’t seem like an act.
"Speak up, what do you want with a wreck like me?"
"Dong Xingzhou, you must get up! Zhuo Xueer is very worried about you," Fang Yu said.
"Cares about me? If she really cared, she’d come herself!"
Dong Xingzhou glared back, only to be met with a letter.
"Zhuo Xueer is too busy to come, but she left a letter for you, which she asked me to pass on."
Dong Xingzhou scoffed but still took the letter.
That wasn’t the letter written by Zhuo Xueer, but the intelligence about the surrounding demons collected by Fang Yu.
Next, it would be passed on to the Yangshen Hall Master by Dong Xingzhou while he waited for news.
"Dong Xingzhou..."
"You can leave now."
Dong Xingzhou wrapped his arm around a passing brothel girl, taking a large gulp of alcohol while his hands weren’t clean.
Fang Yu sighed and rose to leave.
Cheers erupted again; a new geisha started her performance, and Dong Xingzhou shouted loudly, blending seamlessly with the crowd, a perfectly ordinary guest with expert maneuvers, nothing like an act at all.
Such enjoyment!
Public funds for pleasure in the brothel!
Watching the heated actions of the people around, some brothel girls had already been eagerly taken upstairs, Fang Yu knew that the event held by Drunken Dream Tower was nearly at its end.
What remained was the top card’s finale performance and some interactions with the guests.
"It’s Miss Qian Qian!"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed excitedly.
In an instant, all eyes in the venue focused on the stage.
But Fang Yu, at that moment, abruptly turned to look at the person who had shouted.
This voice, it sounds familiar!
Gazing through the crowd, he saw a young man excitedly watching the person on stage.
Above his head, a conspicuous health bar displayed.
[Qiong Xiaolou: 200/200].
Fang Yu:...
Who said he had disappeared?
"Miss Qian Qian!!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"Such a graceful figure, such an elegant dance! Miss Qian Qian!!"
The surrounding voices gradually became frenzied, among them the irreverent Dong Xingzhou who was shouting particularly loudly.
If Zhuo Xueer knew about this, his image would probably collapse.
Fang Yu quickly moved towards Qiong Xiaolou, while glancing at the woman on stage.
But in the next moment, Fang Yu abruptly stopped, staring in astonishment at the stage.
The brothel girl named Qian Qian, the name displayed on her health bar was...
[Eastern Gate Orchid: 1101/1101].
Eastern Gate Orchid from the White Lotus Sect?
Fang Yu was dumbfounded.
This guy, like him, had become a high-ranking member of the Bonfire Gathering after the arena.
But Fang Yu didn’t know if she had been present during the chaotic battle between the Li Family and Lin Family.
And that face, it was completely different from the one Fang Yu had seen before.
It seems she only disguised her face, the figure is consistent.
This woman, a dignified member of the White Lotus Sect, yet acting as the lowest rank geisha here, what is she trying to do?
Fang Yu didn’t understand.
Fortunately, during the Bonfire Gathering, he had worn the Red Bull mask, Eastern Gate Orchid certainly wouldn’t recognize him now.
Better mind less business, Fang Yu didn’t bother to delve deeper, he had no conflicts of interest with this woman.
Taking advantage of everyone’s attention drawn to Eastern Gate Orchid, Fang Yu continued to stride towards Qiong Xiaolou.
Qiong Xiaolou apparently hadn’t noticed the situation here yet, still engrossed with Eastern Gate Orchid on stage, but strangely, he would shout "Miss Qian Qian," praise a few words, then change spots and shout different phrases, all admiring Eastern Gate Orchid.
In just a few minutes, he almost made a full round, visiting dozens of tables.
This behavior had a bit of the vibe of those atmosphere groups in modern day bars.
Only, Qiong Xiaolou was eloquent, never repeating his flattery, almost praising Eastern Gate Orchid to the skies from her poise to her clothing.
Amidst the fervent cheering atmosphere at the scene, his actions seemed to go unnoticed by anyone.
Just when Qiong Xiaolou was about to continue this behavior at the next table, suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
"Excuse me, brother, please make way."
Qiong Xiaolou didn’t even lift his head, intending to sidestep the person in front.
But when he pushed, he found that the person in front stood immovable like a mountain!
Qiong Xiaolou suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
He was no ordinary person, being skilled in martial arts.
Typically, with such a push, while not sending people flying, at least casually knocking someone over was not an issue.
Yet now...
Thinking that many people had lately been inquiring about him, his legs tensed up, ready to run at any moment, while he slowly lifted his head and begrudgingly smiled at the person blocking the way.
"This brother... Kun, Kun Shanhai?!!"
Qiong Xiaolou, who was about to say something, suddenly widened his eyes, his brain short-circuited for a moment.
Memories of old times surged to his mind.
Different brothels, the same people.
At this moment, a marvelous reunion occurred.
Fang Yu cracked a smile.
"So Brother Lou still remembers me."
