The zero written on the paper had attracted everyone’s attention, especially Xiaoyao Polong and Taishi Dan’s. Anger could clearly be seen on their faces as their plans had been spoiled by a stranger.
Meiqi also looked at Ye Mo with murderous intent, as he was the only man who had not watched her dance.
“Is he a prophet or something?”
“That’s the closest number to the price that the Pleasure Society had offered!”
“What luck! Not only did he get the Cursed Pearl without wasting any Stabilizing Pills, he even got a night with Meiqi.”
It was a risk for Ye Mo to write zero on the paper. If not for Taishi Dan, he would’ve also written 70,000.
“Where did that brat come from?” Xiaoyao Polong shouted as he glared at Ye Mo. All of his energy was suddenly focused on both of his palms as if all of his Energy Shaping Ninth Realm powers were about to explode.
Ye Mo stood up and bowed to Xiaoyao Polong before replying. “I’m Ye Mo from Limestone City. It seems like the young master of this valley is not willing to hand the pearl to me. Are you going back on on the rules that you’ve made?”
Xiaoyao Polong stared at Ye Mo while chatter could be heard amongst the crowd.
“Let’s see how Xiaoyao Polong handles the situation. With his temper, he would never hand over the Cursed Pearl.”
“Doesn’t that mean that he’d be going back on his words? He might as well close the Pleasure Society if he does that.”
Meiqi walked over to Xiaoyao Polong’s side and whispered something to him.
She turned to address the crowd and said, “The Pleasure Society will never go back on our words. Since Ye Mo has won the Cursed Pearl with zero Stabilizing Pills, the pill belongs to him now. As for tonight, I will be waiting for Ye Mo in the Tong Hotel’s best suite with the Cursed Pearl. I’ll give you a night that you’ll never forget.”
“The Tong Hotel, is it? Looks like I’ll get to witness what you’re capable of tonight,” Ye Mo said and left with Cai Ling while every pair of eyes in the room followed him.
“Meiqi is not someone you should take lightly,” Cai Ling warned after they left the Pleasure Society.
“I’m aware of that. She only said that just now to keep the Pleasure Society’s reputation in tact,” Ye Mo said. “She’s definitely planning on killing me tonight. But I still have to go because I have to get my hands on the pearl. Only then can we break the handcuffs on you.”
“But she’s an Energy Shaping First Realm warrior, and you’re a man...” Cai Ling worried.
“At least she won’t eat me. Don’t worry,” Ye Mo comforted. “I still have the Heavenly Frost Charm on me. Even if I can’t kill her, I can still grab the pearl and leave without a scratch.”
They went to an inn and paid for a room. After Cai Ling settled down, Ye Mo left from the window.
The Tong Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in all of Pleasure Valley. The lobby was lit brightly as if decorated with fireworks. Ye Mo arrived at the hotel and was guided to the suite by a staff member.
Ye Mo pushed open the door and saw Meiqi lying on a huge, luxurious bed.
Meiqi was in a white gown that barely covered her body. Her eyes were like two crescent moons, attracting any man who fell beneath them.
She was a beauty with splendid curves and beautiful features.
“Why are you still standing there? Come on in,” Meiqi said.
“Where’s the Cursed Pearl?” Ye Mo asked when he entered as he couldn’t find the pearl anywhere in the room.
Meiqi walked towards Ye Mo and stopped in front of him. She licked her lips and said, “What’s the rush? Since you’re in Pleasure Valley, you should relax and enjoy yourself, have some fun. I’ll give you the pearl after we’ve finished our business.”
“Could it be that you don’t have the pearl with you? Are you trying to scam me?” Ye Mo questioned. “Truth to be told, I have no interest in sleeping with you. You’re nowhere near my girlfriend, not your body or your looks or your power. Hurry up and hand over the Cursed Pearl!”
“How dare you? Through all the years I’ve been here, there’s been no woman who I consider prettier or more attractive than me!” Xiaoyao Meiqi shouted as the smile on her face disappeared. “How dare a Spirit Cultivating Fifth Realm brat like you act all high and mighty?”
“Stop spouting nonsense! Hand over the pearl or I’ll have to resort to violence!” Ye Mo shouted.
Xiaoyao Meiqi took out a purple pearl and said, “Then let’s see if you have the strength to take it from me!”
Without any further response, Ye Mo summoned the Formation-Breaking Spear and thrust it towards Xiaoyao Meiqi, shooting a gust of black energy from its tip.
Xiaoyao Meiqi took out her sword and slashed at the black energy, splitting it in half.
“How dare you, a mere Spirit Cultivating Fifth Realm, challenge me!” Xiaoyao Meiqi shouted. “I’ll cut off both of your arms and legs and suck your energy dry!”
Purple energy formed around the sword and solidified into a huge purple sword. It was a skill that allowed the user to shape their energy into any form they wanted and could only be mastered by achieving the Energy Shaping Realm.
She swung the sword as several Sword Projections shot towards Ye Mo. The projections turned into young ladies midair, all of them wearing clothes that barely covered their amazing curves.
Ye Mo knew that it was the will of Xiaoyao Meiqi’s sword, the Will of the Lascivious Sword. It was a will that incorporated sexual desires that were most effective against drunk men or men with weak willpower.
It might be useful against most men, but not to Ye Mo who could even resist Qi Ying’s seduction.
“The Will of the Sky Blood Spear!” Ye Mo roared as he evoked the Evil Merging Realm that instantly dispersed the Will of the Lascivious Sword.
This battle was not a battle of prowess but was instead a battle of willpower. Since Xiaoyao Meiqi’s willpower was weaker than Ye Mo’s, it was inevitable that she would lose the battle.
All of the Sword Projections disappeared, and Xiaoyao Meiqi stared at Ye Mo in awe. She’d never thought that Ye Mo would be able to dispel her Will of the Lascivious Sword that could even subdue an Energy Shaping First Realm warrior.
