Chapter 2214: Chapter 2214: Poison Widow
Just as the two were about to get into the action, Ye Haochuan’s jade slip suddenly emitted a humming sound.
As soon as Ye Haochuan took it out, he heard Boss Yao’s gentle voice from the jade slip, "There’s news about the two women you were inquiring about!"
Ye Haochuan jolted, and the desire in his heart dissipated by more than half.
"I think we should do it next time. I need to visit the Dark Moon Pavilion first." Ye Haochuan, worried about Fan Qingyin and Jiang Shuying, gently pushed Rui’er away, having no mood for such matters.
Rui’er’s face was full of regret and resentment. She had prepared carefully this time and almost lost herself, only to fail at the final step.
"Am I really that different from your other women in your heart?" A strange thought suddenly popped up in Rui’er’s mind.
Earlier, Ye Haochuan had told her that his women were all of equal status. She had been half-skeptical, especially since she was once an enemy of the Xuanmen.
Now, after experiencing this situation, it seemed to affirm that Ye Haochuan really didn’t place her on the same level as the other women.
Women can sometimes be quite incomprehensible in their stubbornness. The poor Ye Haochuan did not notice Rui’er’s mood, as he quickly departed, flying towards the location of the Dark Moon Tavern.
Upon entering the tavern, the main topic of conversation was the battle at Luochen Mountain ten days ago.
"...This time, it could be said to be the largest melee in Shuanghua County in centuries. It’s said that over a dozen True Immortal experts perished!"
"Yes indeed, just think, our Shuanghua County doesn’t even have a resident True Immortal Realm expert, and suddenly so many appeared..."
"What good did it do? I heard that in the end, the Secret Realm was occupied by someone named Afeng. All the herbs inside, as well as a legendary piece of Heavenly Secret Mud, went to him..."
Hearing this discussion, Ye Haochuan chuckled inwardly. Afeng was just a facade; the real mastermind was Zhu Shen. And Zhu Shen only gained minimal benefit, yet had to bear all the attention for Ye Haochuan. That feeling was truly satisfying.
As soon as Boss Yao saw Ye Haochuan, he greeted him with a smile, ushering him into a private room.
Ye Haochuan didn’t dwell on it, anxiously asking, "What news did you get?"
"According to the information obtained, the two ladies you’re looking for didn’t stay long in Shuanghua County and have gone to Qianyun County." Boss Yao answered without beating around the bush.
"Qianyun County? What are they doing there?" Ye Haochuan asked curiously.
"That I do not know, but there was another female cultivator with them who seems to have a very high cultivation level. But..." Boss Yao hesitated.
"But what?"
"According to my investigation, there is a sixty percent chance that the female cultivator is the Poison Widow of the Black Lotus Triad Widows... but this is just a conjecture and cannot be confirmed..." Boss Yao said solemnly.
"Poison Widow?" Ye Haochuan’s brow furrowed into another character.
Among the Black Lotus Triad Widows, he had already encountered the Ghost Widow and witnessed her cruelty. It stood to reason that the other two widows were not any kinder.
If Jiang Shuying and Fan Qingyin really fell into the hands of the Ghost Widow, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Where is this Poison Widow now?" Ye Haochuan asked anxiously.
"The Black Lotus Triad Widows normally operate within Qianyun County unless there are special circumstances, so..." Boss Yao explained.
"Thank you!" Ye Haochuan placed the reward for the information on the table and could no longer sit still, intending to leave immediately.
"Please wait, Young Master Ye!"
Boss Yao stopped him, handing over a Black Iron Token, "The reach of our Dark Moon Pavilion is vast, with branches in every county city. If Young Master Ye needs anything in the future, Dark Moon Pavilion is always at your service!"
Ye Haochuan examined the token, finding only a faint energy fluctuation on it, indicating it was just a basic membership token. He didn’t pay much attention to it and casually placed it in his ring.
Returning to the inn, Ye Haochuan quickly brought Rui’er into his Minor World and hurried non-stop to the Teleportation Array, teleporting to the county city of Qianyun County.
Due to the great distance, this teleportation cost Ye Haochuan eight hundred thousand red crystals, leaving him sighing.
Luckily, he had his Minor World; otherwise, bringing Rui’er would have cost another eight hundred thousand.
Qianyun County was indeed several times richer than Shuanghua County. Not to mention the concentration of Flower Energy, the size of the main city was ten times larger than Shuanghua City.
Ye Haochuan’s Heavenly Eye opened, conducting a carpet search across Qianyun County.
But Qianyun County was so vast that after ten whole days, he still couldn’t search Qianyun City thoroughly and had found no trace of Jiang Shuying and the others.
"This won’t do; if this continues, they’ll only be in even more danger!"
Thinking about the sinister nature of the Black Lotus Triad Widows, Ye Haochuan felt a chill in his heart. As long as Jiang Shuying and the others were in the hands of the Poison Widow, he couldn’t have peace of mind.
Eventually, he decided to go to the Dark Moon Pavilion.
The Dark Moon Pavilion in Qianyun County was much more spacious than the one in Shuanghua City, and there seemed to be many more patrons inside.
"I’m here to see your boss!" Ye Haochuan walked up to the counter and said directly.
The receptionist was slightly displeased but maintained a smile, "Sorry, sir, do you have an appointment?"
"No!"
"Then I apologize, sir, without an appointment, there’s no way you can see our boss. If you have any needs, you can let me know, and I can assist you just the same!"
Although polite, the receptionist’s subtly contemptuous gaze was quite uncomfortable.
Ye Haochuan didn’t have time to argue with a receptionist and took out the Black Iron Token given by Boss Yao, "With this, can I meet your boss?"
Seeing the token, the receptionist’s attitude changed instantly, grinning, "Ah, a distinguished guest of our Dark Moon Pavilion, please forgive my ignorance for not recognizing you. I will report your presence immediately."
This left Ye Haochuan stunned; he had thought the token might help him meet the boss, but he hadn’t expected such a big reaction from the receptionist.
Could it be that this token was also some kind of Supreme Token?
Ye Haochuan was curious.
While pondering, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from an ajar door in the adjacent room.
"Patriarch Li, your price is too low; my storefront is in a prime location with high foot traffic, as you know. Could you raise it a bit...?"
"This is the price. If you’re not willing to sell, I’m not forcing you. But let me remind you, in Qianyun City, besides me, who else do you think dares to buy your storefront?"
"You... you’re too much!"
"Zeng Liancheng, do you really think your Zeng Family is still one of the renowned clans of the Myriad Realms Mansion? I’m telling you, today I will bully you, what can you do? Bite me?"
