The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Chapter 235 Dead End

As Tu Xiaoxiao walked through the first-floor corridor, before she even entered the lobby, she heard Shen Yao shout, "Tonight, the entire restaurant is on me!"

Tu Xiaoxiao snorted angrily and went into the hall to find her.

Her words, "I'll pay for the whole place," quieted the hall considerably. A girl at the next table laughed and said, "What restaurant? This is a brothel, girl, it's a brothel."

Shen Yao looked around the building and nodded emphatically: "Decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and filled with fresh flowers, it is indeed a brothel!"

The girl next door burst into laughter, and the other guests in the lobby also burst into laughter.

Long Jiajia was amused and joked, "Pfft, Brother Hua San, she really thinks this place is a restaurant."

The fairy, slightly tipsy, didn't understand why everyone suddenly burst into laughter. She put one hand on her hip and asked loudly, "What are you laughing at?"

The customer service staff laughed even harder. One of them stood up and teased her, "Miss, you said the whole bill is on you, does that count?"

Shen Yao's momentum remained undiminished: "It counts, of course it counts."

The Third Young Master Hua's lips curved into a smile. He stood up, fanning himself with a folding fan, and walked to the railing, where he made an outrageous demand of Shen Yao: "The price for Drunken Beauty tonight is two thousand dollars. Are you sure you want to treat, young lady?"

Shen Yao looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it came from a male cultivator in gold robes on the second floor. The male cultivator in gold robes was waving countless folding fans, which covered his face so that his appearance could not be seen. She raised her drunken eyes and asked him, "Can you decide on this price?"

Hua San Gongzi introduced himself: "I am Hua Yi, the owner of Zui Hongyan."

"Of course I can make the decision," Shen Yao said, tossing him two brocade pouches. "Two thousand knives, catch them."

With a flick of his folding fan, the Third Young Master Hua released a brocade pouch onto the table in the private room. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and found it indeed contained two thousand knives. His heart skipped a beat; it was too little. It seemed that Shen Yao was more complex than he had imagined.

The guests cheered and thanked the young lady, saying, "Thank you for the treat, young lady."

Shen Yao waved her hand: "Oh, you're too kind."

Customer Jia: "May I ask your name, young lady?"

Shen Yao patted her chest: "I will not change my name or surname, Shen Yao."

Guest B: "I thank you very much, young lady. You are very generous."

Shen Yao: "You're welcome."

A woman in red stood up with a hearty laugh and called out to Shen Yao, "I am Luo Yu. I feel an instant connection with Miss Shen. Would you be willing to exchange tokens with me and become friends, Sister Yao?"

Shen Yao looked at the woman who called herself Luo Yu through her drunken eyes. She was quite pretty. She immediately took out her communication token and tossed it to her: "Having more friends means having more options. Add me, add me, add me."

Seeing that she was so easy to talk to, the other visiting repairmen all took out their communication tokens and shouted that they wanted to exchange tokens with her.

The communication token that Shen Yao threw out was intercepted by a slender hand. Tu Xiaoxiao's eyes swept across the entire room, and the aura of the Demon Ancestor was released, instantly silencing the hall.

Those customer repairmen who had been clamoring to exchange their communication tokens silently put them away, and Luo Yu, who had been saying he wanted to make friends, also sat back down.

Tu Xiaoxiao turned around, handed the communication token back to Shen Yao, tilted her head and smiled, her tone quite unfriendly: "Sister Shen, did you have fun?"

Shen Yao was half-sobered by the fright. He had been in this same smiling fox-like state when he interrogated her that afternoon while she was tied up.

She snatched the communication device, and without saying a word, flew up to the second floor and jumped out of the window to escape…

Hua Ying stared in disbelief: "Tu Xiaoxiao, what did you do? Why is she so afraid of you?"

Tu Xiaoxiao glared at him and then flew after him.

The guests continued their revelry. Hua Ying looked at the remaining wine on the table, thought for a moment, and put all the wine bottles into her storage space.

Tu Xiaoxiao was furious. He received a message from Hua Ying and rushed over, but was attacked twice along the way.

Jiang Ming's assassins arrived faster than he expected; the two groups of assassins were well-trained and numerous.

Lin Zhi was captured, yet the assassins were still able to track his movements. He only discovered this today. Longyuan City is riddled with holes, and the Immortal Clan has planted countless spies within its walls.

Although the assassins who came were not as high-ranking as him, there were many of them, and they were all on drugs. It took him a lot of effort to escape. He flew at full speed all the way, afraid that she would be kidnapped. When he arrived, he encountered such a big show.

She seemed to be having a great time, playing a game of stacking wine bottles with Huaying, leaving the table a mess after drinking. Ha, when she's in a good mood, she'll book the whole place, spending money like it's nothing.

And two thousand dollars? Hua Yi really dared to ask for that! She's really generous!

If he had arrived any later, Shen Yao probably would have bought the Drunken Beauty Palace too!

Shen Yaofei swayed unsteadily as the alcohol began to take effect. A gust of wind blew through her, making her even more dizzy instead of sober.

She unleashed her full spiritual power and flew as fast as she could, thinking to herself, "I absolutely mustn't be caught by Tu Xiaoxiao."

I have a feeling that if I get caught now, it won't be good.

She couldn't go back to the Tu family tonight; going back would be like walking into a trap. After leaving Zui Hongyan, she flew eastward to the Lu Ling Sect to seek refuge with Lu Guoguo.

However, the Demon Ancestor was faster than her. As she swayed on her flying sword, she glanced back and saw Tu Xiaoxiao catching up with her at lightning speed.

Shen Yao panicked and quickly slipped into a dark alley, using her divine-level Qi Concealment Technique.

Her divine-level Qi Concealment Technique has reached the early intermediate stage, allowing her to remain invisible for a quarter of an hour. Hiding in an alley for a quarter of an hour is enough to avoid Tu Xiaoxiao.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that the eight-tailed fox had used a fox clan tracking technique on her.

She had barely slipped into the alley when Tu Xiaoxiao followed her in. Shen Yao walked along the wall, silently repeating, 'You can't see me...you can't see me...'

Tu Xiaoxiao sniffed lightly, but couldn't detect a trace of the fairy's scent. However, he sensed that this was the location. He looked at the deep alley and smiled knowingly. It seemed that Shen Yao also possessed invisibility-like magic.

He seemed to be teasing a caged animal, keeping a distance of just one step from Shen Yao. If the fairy didn't move, he didn't move either; if the fairy took a step, he would take a step to catch up.

Shen Yao asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Could it be that the male fox can smell the alcohol on me?"

She fanned herself vigorously with both hands in front of her, trying to dispel the smell of alcohol on her, wondering to herself, 'This shouldn't be happening. A divine-level Qi Concealment Technique should be able to conceal even one's aura.'

'Could it be that you can only hide your body odor, but not the smell of alcohol?'

Tu Xiaoxiao felt the breeze blowing in front of her and almost laughed. How did Huo Xiandi raise such a silly daughter? Was he raised her without any guidance?

The eight-tailed fox followed closely, and Shen Yao regretted it a little. She should have used the invisibility talisman her father had given her. After all, the smell of alcohol couldn't be hidden, and the invisibility talisman would last much longer.

She looked towards the alley entrance. Should she run? If she could run fast while she was invisible, maybe he wouldn't be able to catch up with the smell of alcohol.

Tu Xiaoxiao felt a cold wind blow around him. Shen Yao's position kept shifting towards the alley entrance. He turned around to chase after her, and suddenly blocked the alley entrance. Shen Yao stopped abruptly and turned to run into the alley.

Tu Xiaoxiao had lived in Longyuan City for hundreds of years, and he knew every alleyway like the back of his hand, and where it led. He wasn't in a hurry at all, and slowly walked into the alley, letting the fairy run for a while longer until she reached the end of the dead end, where he would catch her.

Shen Yao ran to the very end of the alley and found it to be a dead end. She was immediately annoyed. Looking at the high alley wall, she realized that she couldn't use any other spells while using invisibility. Oh well, she'd just have to climb the wall with her bare hands.

The fairy began to climb the wall, cursing inwardly as she went. Why were the walls of Longyuan City made so smooth? It was just an ordinary alley, a dead end at that. Was it really necessary to make the walls so meticulous?

After much effort, she finally reached the top of the alley, only to be dumbfounded: "Can anyone tell me why there's an open-air bathhouse behind this dead-end alley?!"

Why are demon cultivators bathing in open-air bathhouses in the middle of the night?

Good heavens! I'm going to get a sty!
