Chapter 156 The Hardest Favor to Accept is from a Beauty
"Brother? Where did you go last night?"
Under the morning sunlight, Li Yuechan, seeing Li Muyang appear in the dining hall, immediately moved closer.
The moment the distance between them closed, the girl constantly flared her nostrils, sniffing the scents on Li Muyang.
While sniffing she said, "I didn't see you all night, your maid said you didn't come back last night."
After sniffing for a while, not detecting any scent of cosmetics, Li Yuechan shook her head, both disappointed and satisfied.
"I thought you finally couldn't resist, got enchanted by the flamboyant world of Tianjiao City, and ran off to spend the night in a brothel—turns out you didn't?"
Li Yuechan looked at Li Muyang with suspicious eyes, saying, "I heard people say that the women of Tianjiao City's brothels are quite formidable!"
"Some are even cultivators, using their charms on men in unparalleled ways, with renowned reputations."
"Brother, you spend your nights out in Tianjiao City... and you didn't visit a brothel?"
Li Yuechan seemed to be questioning Li Muyang's sexual orientation.
Having said that, the girl glanced outside the door.
A few Inner Sect disciples, all looking cheerful and smiling broadly, were coming together.
These individuals had a strong scent of cosmetics, obviously having failed to restrain themselves, spending the night in a brothel.
Li Muyang, somewhat bemused, looked at his foster sister's conflicted expression of disappointment and satisfaction, and said, "So do you actually hope I spend the night at the brothel, or not?"
Li Muyang sat down and started eating breakfast.
After the Inner Sect disciples arrived in Tianjiao City, their daily meal of Spirit Rice had been upgraded from mid-grade Spirit Rice to high-grade Spirit Rice.
It was definitely a good thing.
Even for those who had spent the night at the brothel, this meal was not to be missed.
After being tormented by Yan Xiaoru in that secluded courtyard last night, having a warm meal of Spirit Rice was more than welcome.
Watching Li Muyang savoring his food, Li Yuechan sighed and said.
"Naturally, I hope you keep yourself pure, brother, but you're not getting any younger, always isolating yourself and busy with cultivation."
"While cultivation is important, you can't just ignore matters of marriage."
"Uncle and aunt have written several times, saying they want to help you find a good girl."
"They even said to let me help you look around in the Demon Sect to see if there's a suitable female disciple from the sect that you could marry; the family fully supports you on this."
Li Yuechan rambled, "Brother, you're already eighteen, almost nineteen."
"In our Jiuyuan City, many people your age are already fathers."
"Aren't you in a bit of a hurry?"
Li Yuechan rambled on, at that moment seemingly possessed by her far-off uncle and aunt, entering full marriage-pushing mode.
But in the secluded Wuliu Lane, it was silent.
The moment Li Muyang pushed open the courtyard gate and stepped inside, an unhappy woman's voice echoed from the corridor.
"I don't like being late."
"Uh..."
Looking at the woman before him, Li Muyang scratched his head and said, "Sorry, I was slightly delayed on the way."
It was mainly because he was so engrossed in playing the game that he almost forgot he had to come for cultivation tonight.
Li Muyang, with a sincere expression, presented a small food box, saying, "I bought this on the way here; it's said to be a specialty of Tianjiao City and reportedly tastes very good. Please enjoy it, senior."
Yan Xiaoru gestured with her hand, and the food box immediately flew into her hands.
After opening the food box, she saw ten neat skewers of candied haws quietly lying inside.
The red sugar coating reflected a bright luster under the moonlight, crystal clear.
These indeed were Tianjiao City's specialty, the Red Jade Candied Haws.
Underneath her icy mask, Yan Xiaoru subconsciously licked her lips and then coldly huffed.
"Considerate boy."
Although not an extravagant food, Yan Xiaoru liked the taste of these candied haws and had vivid memories of eating them a few times previously.
Looking at the crystal clear candied haws in the food box, Yan Xiaoru nodded.
"Let's continue cultivating."
With that, Yan Xiaoru flipped her wrist, took out a small bottle of Jade Marrow Spiritual Liquid from her Qiankun Ring, and tossed it to Li Muyang.
"Take it, then cultivate."
After giving brief instructions, Yan Xiaoru disappeared into the corridor.
Clearly, she went off to enjoy the candied haws Li Muyang had brought her.
Under the moonlight, Li Muyang watched Yan Xiaoru's figure disappear in the moonlight and smiled.
This food-loving Elder Yan was really easy to understand.
He sat cross-legged under the eaves, unscrewed the small porcelain bottle's cap, downed the Jade Marrow Spiritual Liquid in one gulp, and began his cultivation for the night.
Even a small mosquito is meat, let alone Jade Marrow Spiritual Liquid which is by no means mosquito meat.
Such a prestigious Spiritual Object wasn't something even Direct Disciples could drink daily.
Yet Yan Xiaoru gave him a bottle every day, in addition to the earlier Qiankun Ring and the "Nether Treasure Manual" ...
The benefits he received were becoming more and more substantial.
Beneath the moonlight, Li Muyang let out a deep sigh.
