Chapter 559: Chapter 560: Take Everything Away in a Package
The structure of the seventh layer was different from the other layers, as it was Long Xue’s boudoir, so the decorations around were much richer compared to the rest.
Li Xiaobai still strolled at a leisurely pace, everything about him was the same as before, with the corner of his eye slightly scanning below, where Long Xue was staring unblinkingly at the seventh layer.
During the climb, she was tasked with a rescue duty, to ensure that no cultivators collapsed from pressure due to pushing beyond their limits while climbing, which is why she couldn’t move around at will.
This did give Li Xiaobai some relief.
He wandered leisurely through the seventh layer until he arrived in front of Long Xue’s room and was greeted by a wave of refreshing fragrance.
“This Long Xue is the granddaughter of the Old Dragon King, so there must be quite a few treasures in her room, right?”
Li Xiaobai murmured to himself, and as he was about to enter, a clear, cool voice wafted over.
“Young master, you shouldn’t casually look into a girl’s room.”
Long Xue’s cheeks turned crimson below, and a hint of earthly emotion flickered through her almond-shaped eyes.
She hadn’t expected him to be so bold as to actually contemplate peeping into her room.
“Don’t worry, Immortal, I’ll only look at what I should, and not a glance more at what I shouldn’t.”
Li Xiaobai said with a light smile, then pushed the door open and entered, leaving behind a stunned Long Xue.
“My word, this man is no ordinary person, to actually barge into Immortal Long’s room!”
“Hang on, it doesn’t seem like an intrusion, and what’s more, he seems quite justified?”
“A role model for us all!”
“When can we also act so nonchalantly in such questionable matters? If we mastered the essence of this way, getting a wife shouldn’t be too difficult, right?”
“First, you need to have a thicker skin…”
The cultivators were also dumbfounded, staring blankly as Li Xiaobai disappeared into the inner sanctum of the seventh layer—the boudoir of an Immortal, a place many dreamed and aspired to reach!
But they merely dreamt about it, knowing that even if they had the opportunity to reach the seventh layer, they’d never dare to wander around recklessly.
Cultivators mostly see themselves as gentlemen, especially those from noble families; no matter how dark they might be in private, they always put on the facade of being modest gentlemen in public.
The idea of entering a girl’s boudoir was something they could never bring themselves to do, let alone enter the private chamber of the goddess in their hearts.
Wasn’t this guy afraid of offending the Immortal?
“A scoundrel! I thought you were different from ordinary cultivators; turns out you’re not a good person either. You men, there’s not a good one among you!”
Nangong Wan said with anger sparkling in her eyes, glaring fiercely at Beichen Shixi and Dongfang Mingyue as she spoke coldly.
“Uh…”
The two were left speechless, wondering how they always ended up getting dragged into these matters?
Long Xue clenched her fists tightly; her room still had her unwashed clothes, personal belongings that should not be seen by outsiders. Such boldness from a stranger—a cultivator she’s never met—was simply too much!
She was rather helpless against this kind of brazen behavior.
The seventh layer was also a place for cultivation; it wouldn’t be right to restrict others’ freedom of movement, would it?
If anyone was to be blamed, it was herself for being negligent and not tidying up her room beforehand.
The thoughts of the cultivators were inevitably beyond Li Xiaobai’s hearing; at this moment, he was staring in shock at the scene before him.
Never in a million years would I have imagined an Immortal’s room to be like this.
Possibly every intimate garment a female cultivator owned was haphazardly piled on the bed, creating a scene so disorganized it was hard to look at.
The room felt a bit scandalous as Li Xiaobai stared at each revealing article of clothing, tongue-tied. He hadn’t expected the noble and pure Immortal, when alone, to dress like a seductive witch.
“I didn’t expect an Immortal’s life to be like this, it’s a bit terrifying,” he said.
Li Xiaobai touched his nose with slight embarrassment, then settled his heart and began to search for valuable treasures in the room.
There were so many clothes that touching them would leave a lingering fragrance on his hands, and sometimes he could even feel the warmth of the garments that had been worn close to the body, making even the battle-hardened Li Xiaobai’s heart race and face flush.
After a diligent search, indeed, he found quite a few precious items, but that only made him respect Immortal Longxue more from a distance. During the search, he actually pulled out a piece of rope from the corner of the wardrobe.
Based on years of life experience, he judged that this item was a piece of clothing. Hard to imagine, wearing such a string of rope on the body, how would one walk outside?
Immortal Long, truly daring.
Shaking his head, Li Xiaobai turned his attention back to the treasures in the room.
Since he was inside the tower, the room’s lighting also included twenty-three Mermaid’s Essences from the Eastern Sea. After searching, he found as many as six.
Though not as impressive as the one at the top of the tower, the spiritual power contained within was equally astonishing and made excellent nourishment for Hellfire.
Continuing his search in the room, Li Xiaobai discovered that some of the most ordinary and inconspicuous items were also incredible treasures.
For example, there was a teacup on the desk, crystal clear and emitting a faint blue glow.
Even with no knowledge of cultivation, Li Xiaobai could tell this was no ordinary object. Without a doubt, all had to be taken.
A purple clay teapot? Take it!
A Double Sided Halberd? Take it!
A set of paintings that refreshed the heart and pleased the eye? Take it!
…
After a thorough raid, nearly all valuable items had been scavenged by Li Xiaobai, and his gaze finally rested on the many clothes scattered on the floor.
To be honest, many of these garments were Magic Treasures of not a low grade, wearing them could to some extent ward off attacks from cultivators.
“Although somewhat shameful, I am upholding the principle of not wasting. As a cultivator, the most important thing is to cultivate, one set of clothes for changing is enough. Having so many is distracting. Today, I will pack them all up for you, Immortal Longxue, no need to thank me!”
Li Xiaobai waved his hand gently and collected all the scattered clothes on the ground into his Space Ring.
Unable to distinguish which clothes were treasures, he decided to burn them all later as a contribution to Hellfire.
Looking at the pristine, spotless room, Li Xiaobai sighed in relief. This was more like a cultivator’s room, what was all that mess before?
“Hehe, Immortal, I helped you tidy up your room, no need to thank me,” he chuckled.
Li Xiaobai tiptoed to the corner with a sly smile.
With a flick of his wrist, he took out Liu Jinshui’s formation pattern, inserted a Spirit Stone, and ripples spread out layer by layer, his aura hidden, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
This was a formation for concealing one’s aura. He didn’t know where Liu Jinshui had obtained it, but it was exceptionally effective; even Great Crossing Realm Cultivators might not be able to detect it.
He slipped out of the room without a sound. At this time, Immortal Longxue’s attention was still on her boudoir with the open door, her complexion as red as blood. She knew that all her little secrets had been seen…
