Although Wu Tao would no longer be moved by emotions due to Lü Yuehua's death, he was still captivated by the beautiful scenery.
This was not lust, but beauty.
Moreover, it was the most beautiful scenery, far surpassing the allure of mortal women.
...
The appearance of these women, their skill with musical instruments, each had their own unique charm, with many being one in ten thousand.
Let alone men like Wu Tao, even women like the Nangong sisters, Nangong Nan and Nangong Xing, were mesmerized, full of admiration for the beautiful dance.
...
Putting aside jealousy, the perception of beauty between men and women is, to some extent, similar.
...
Reaching this point, Wu Tao suddenly sensed something was amiss.
Thinking of this, Wu Tao immediately asked, "Where is this place?"
...
Hearing Wu Tao's question, Nangong Nan finally shifted her gaze, looking at Wu Tao with a strange expression.
Her look seemed to convey, "Where is this place? Don't you know yourself?"
Wasn't this what you asked for?
Comfort? Rest? Relaxation?
When you men say these three words, don't you always mean a place where you can freely indulge in the red-light district?
Stop pretending! We understand...
Seeing Nangong Nan's peculiar gaze, Wu Tao finally understood where they were and couldn't help but blush.
This was not because Wu Tao was inexperienced; he had been to such places before.
However, it was quite awkward to be brought to such a place by his two newly accepted disciples.
...
"These two little rascals must have misunderstood!"
Thinking of his previous words, Wu Tao couldn't help but wipe a bead of sweat from his brow.
...
Nangong Nan and Nangong Xing also began to realize something was not right.
Did their master's words not mean what they thought?
The three stood in the middle of the street, looking at each other, and the scene fell into an awkward silence.
...
Finally, Wu Tao cleared his throat, breaking the silent tension.
"Ahem, disciples, you brought me here, what kind of place is this?"
...
Hearing this, Nangong Nan and Nangong Xing smiled awkwardly, exchanging glances, both too embarrassed to explain.
Finally, Nangong Nan stepped forward, cupped her hands, and said with a fawning smile.
"This is the paradise for men in Mingze County, the Pink Perfumed Court!"
...
"The Pink Perfumed Court? This is the Pink Perfumed Court that others speak of!"
Although he had only recently arrived in Mingze County, he had heard of this place.
It was Mingze County's largest pleasure district!
Many young masters from noble families would visit and return with a horde of unknown women.
...
It turned out that the cultivation world of Zizhou, the underground cultivation world, and the cultivation world of the Nine Provinces not only had different systems but also different ways of expressing language.
This, therefore, led to this misunderstanding.
Flourishing like brocade, the long song of Dajin, the eight directions pay homage, all races submit, humanity indulges freely, full of heroic spirit.
Peace and joy, harmony and unity.
This prosperous era captivated everyone's hearts.
However, this was merely the life of noble families, their golden age...
A false image created by the exploitation of millions for one!
Perception blinded reality, and mortals drowned in suffering.
This joy, peace, tranquility, and prosperity were behind the suffering of the destitute and homeless.
I love this environment, but I detest the disasters and tragedies that created it...
However, in the cultivation world, strength is right, and the one with the strongest fist is king.
The noble families possessed the greatest strength, which is why they could set the rules and enjoy the best life.
Although Wu Tao did not agree with this, he understood it.
...
Wu Tao sighed inwardly, not with regret for others...
But for his own youthful past and the many things he had lost.
...
"Master, where are we going now?"
Nangong Nan, having misunderstood Wu Tao's intentions, turned and asked respectfully.
...
"Since we're here, let's keep moving forward!"
Wu Tao replied without hesitation.
Nangong Nan looked bewildered.
At this moment, Nangong Xing, recalling the decadent sights they had seen on their way, her face flushed slightly, but the mischievous glint in her eyes betrayed her curiosity.
So, she smiled and whispered.
"Beast!"
...
Wu Tao's eyelids twitched; he pretended to be deaf and ignorant.
...
"
"It's ruined, what is this whole situation today?"
As Wu Tao walked, he shook his head inwardly, leading his two female disciples to a brothel...
If this were to get out, wouldn't his reputation be ruined?
As Wu Tao, Nangong Nan, and Nangong Xing walked further away.
The scenery before them became increasingly bright and expansive, giving one a hazy feeling of entering a dream world.
...
The streets were packed with crowds of all sorts, and the intoxicating sights and sounds on both sides made one feel as if they had arrived in a dreamland.
The surroundings were bathed in a captivating pink hue.
The Pink Perfumed Court at this moment was far more prosperous than when they had first entered.
Rows of lights hung along the streets, illuminating them as brightly as daylight, with a dazzling array of red and green scenery stretching as far as the eye could see.
Countless ornate carriages, inlaid with gold and carved with jade, moved slowly on another wide road, from which came bursts of tantalizing laughter.
Major establishments, to attract customers, erected huge colorful lanterns, carved with dragons and phoenixes, magnificent and beautiful.
The truly wealthy establishments directly lit incense at their entrances that could somewhat disorient the mind.
Some establishments even built a white jade stage, paved with red silk and equipped with eighty-one flower drums.
Dozens of young women, aged seventeen or eighteen, dressed in flowing ribbons, with exposed snake-like waists and no clothing below their thighs, stood on the stage.
The leading woman was so stunningly beautiful that she lowered her head, a toss of her sleeves, a flutter of light gauze, and a wave of colorful silks, soaring into the air like a swan goose, circling above.
The other women followed suit, waving in the air...
The beauty of their dance was like red peonies in full bloom, their earrings falling, their gazes alluring...
As still as plum blossoms against the snow, they exuded charm mixed with a hint of pride.
Countless stunningly beautiful women were entertaining guests...
Among them were noble ladies with long skirts sweeping the floor, feigning elegance, as well as half-beast dancers with bare waists and ample bosoms, their figures impossibly slender.
There were also half-elf individuals dressed as schoolgirls, playing the role of purity.
Their seductive glances varied, with full-figured and slender, elegant, alluring, pure, and non-human figures all available on the street.
Here, a man's every fantasy about his ideal lover could be fulfilled.
"Master, do you know how these half-beast women and half-elf women came to be?"
Nangong Nan's eyes flickered as she looked at these non-human women who conformed to human aesthetics, and sighed softly.
To their surprise, Wu Tao replied with this sentence.
"How else would they come to be? Isn't it because humanity is strong, and thus can plunder other races, forcing them into slavery?"
Nangong Nan stood beside Wu Tao, her face filled with astonishment.
Nangong Xing on the other side, her cherry-red lips parted in disbelief, unable to believe her ears.
How could it be? Master didn't even know some basic etiquette, how could he know these things!
On the surface, Wu Tao's eyes appeared to be full of appreciation.
In reality, no one noticed the coldness hidden deep within his eyes!
Perhaps it was because of Lü Yuehua's death that Wu Tao harbored no great affection for non-human races.
Wu Tao turned to the Nangong sisters and said solemnly, "You must remember, those who are not of our kind will have different intentions."
"Do not pity or feel sorry for them..."
"The reason they appear so docile and harmless is fundamentally because our human race is strong."
"Once our human race's strength declines, and we can no longer suppress the myriad races and control the world..."
"These seemingly gentle and weak foreign races today will rush at us like madmen and tear us to shreds."
"Although your master dislikes the rules of the noble families, he still approves of their brutal suppression of outsiders!"
It should be known that on the continent of Zizhou, although humans were dominant, there were other existing races.
For example, there were beastmen, half-elves, as well as barbarians, forest tribes, and other races.
They preferred elegance and luxury, but to maintain their rule, their methods had to be cruel. This was humanity, and this was why humanity was powerful.
Half-beast women mostly presented themselves with a bold style.
For example, the lion-woman singing on stage, with slender golden eyebrows, light golden clear eyes, and a straight nose...
Soft, full lips, a gracefully shaped body, ears on her head, and a tail that swayed constantly behind her waist.
...
Her snow-white, soft arms waved continuously, and her dark brown boots, with her small feet, moved slightly, appearing exceptionally striking.
Her smooth, fair thighs shone with a luster like a crescent moon.
Many people stood around, most of their gazes fixed, to varying degrees, on this half-beast lion beauty.
In the red-light district, in addition to women, there were various other commodities.
The types of goods ranged from items specifically for nightlife to exquisite accessories from all over the world, with everything available.
As Wu Tao, the strange combination of one man and two women, walked down the street...
A barbarian woman with a face full of tribal markings stopped them and said, "Young master, are you interested in trying something new, changing your taste..."
"Our barbarian women are much stronger than your human women. For a hundred spirit stones, you can have one of us for a night..."
