#222 - The best among flowers
“I hope what happened just now didn't spoil everyone's enjoyment. Please, continue.”
Hua Rumeng waved away the Black Spirit Guards and smiled at the crowd, bowing slightly. The same woman who had been so decisive in her killing intent now revealed a charming smile like a spring breeze, a contrast that made everyone's heart skip a beat.
There was an indescribable charm about this woman, yet she was so high above that no one could approach her.
“Why seek light green or pale red hues? Her beauty is first-rate among all flowers…”
Qin Changqing looked at Hua Rumeng's beautiful figure, and a surge of poetic inspiration filled him. He couldn't help but softly recite a line of poetry.
Everyone present was a cultivator, with sharp ears and eyes. Although Qin Changqing's voice was very soft, it was still heard by the crowd, and they couldn't help but turn to look at him.
Hua Rumeng, who was about to leave the steps, also paused and slowly turned her head to look in Qin Changqing's direction, her beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light.
Seeing her look over, Qin Changqing smiled slightly and nodded, his eyes clear and without a trace of blasphemy, filled with admiration.
After all, he had seen countless beautiful women and wouldn't be so easily captivated by just any pretty face.
Although Hua Rumeng was also very beautiful, she was not much different from Ji Linglong, Su Chanyue, and others.
What Qin Changqing admired was her domineering and unrestrained nature.
The corners of Hua Rumeng's mouth slowly curved into a faint smile, and she also nodded slightly before turning and drifting away.
“Wow, that sister just now was so domineering!”
Qingyin couldn't help but exclaim.
The female cultivators who had led the two in now looked at Qin Changqing with different eyes. The red-skirted woman at the head of the group smiled with a glint in her eyes and said, “I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to have such talent that even the楼主 (Lóuzhǔ, 'Building Lord', i.e. Hua Rumeng) would take notice of you. It seems that the lower level is not worthy of you.”
Qin Changqing was immediately surprised and asked, “Does this Myriad Flowers Pavilion have different levels?”
“Of course!”
The green-clothed woman next to her said, “Although our Myriad Flowers Pavilion is open to everyone, there are still some distinctions. After all, everyone's status and background are different, and the levels they come into contact with are also different. The lower ten floors are open to those cultivators with lower cultivation levels and ordinary status, generally Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core stages.”
“Male and female cultivators who enter the building, as long as they catch each other's eye and develop feelings for each other, things will naturally fall into place. This building will not only offer gifts to congratulate them, but also provide a venue if needed. Everyone is a cultivator and has cultivated for so many years, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. They can immediately become intimate and spend the night together.”
“The middle ten floors are open to cultivators with slightly higher cultivation levels and some status and background, such as Nascent Soul, Transformation God, and Fusion Realm cultivators, as well as some elders and sect leaders of major sects, or even high-ranking officials of the Imperial Dynasty. The fat man just now was thrown down from the middle ten floors.”
“As for the upper ten floors, only special talents, those who have been recommended, or those who have gained the favor of a high-level figure in the building are qualified to enter. The upper ten floors do not distinguish between cultivation level and background. Sometimes it depends on fate. Even if you are in the Qi Refining stage, or even a mortal, you may be able to go up.”
Qin Changqing raised his eyebrows. So there were such rules.
The red-skirted woman smiled and said, “That being said, most of the people who enter the upper ten floors are either rich or noble, or cultivators with great supernatural powers. I see that Fellow Daoist has a kind face, so I'll tell you a secret: even His Majesty often comes here, but ordinary people can't see him!”
“Yes, yes, I've heard several seniors say that it seems that the establishment of this Myriad Flowers Pavilion was secretly supported by His Majesty.” Another woman echoed.
“Oh?”
Qin Changqing immediately became interested in the Emperor of this Immortal Lin Imperial Dynasty. He didn't expect this guy to be one of them.
Setting up such a place, this Emperor must also be restless and have some special ideas.
As expected, the flowers of home are not as fragrant as the wildflowers outside.
The red flag at home doesn't fall, and colorful flags flutter outside. Interesting!
No wonder the Myriad Flowers Pavilion has such a strong foundation. With an Emperor as its backer, who is it afraid of!
Several female cultivators wanted to lead Qin Changqing to the middle ten floors, but Qin Changqing refused. He planned to take a look around first. It was his first time in this kind of place, so he had to see it from the beginning.
Leading Qingyin along the long corridor, they could occasionally hear the seductive sounds coming from within, which made the girl very curious: “Changqing Gege (哥哥, older brother), what are they calling out? Why is it so strange? Have they been beaten again?”
Several female cultivators couldn't help but giggle.
Qin Changqing's face darkened.
Why didn't this broken building know to set up soundproof formations? It was teaching children bad things.
However, the rules in the Myriad Flowers Pavilion were that both parties must be willing and cannot force or use any improper supernatural means. Once discovered, the consequences would be very serious.
——
Myriad Flowers Pavilion, thirty-third floor.
Hua Rumeng pushed open the door and entered a room. In the room, a young man with bright eyes and teeth, radiant and extraordinary, was sitting cross-legged. He simply sat there, giving people a feeling of a sharp blade being unsheathed.
“Solved?”
The young man asked indifferently, without even opening his eyes.
Hua Rumeng nodded and smiled, “I've already had people investigate. It's an elder of the Unconstant Sect, working in the Imperial Capital's Judicial Hall.”
She told the story once.
The young man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes faintly flashing with starlight: “Her beauty is first-rate among all flowers… Good poem! This person can casually recite such amazing verses. Remarkable!”
“I knew you'd be interested!” Hua Rumeng smiled and said, “I've already ordered someone to send him an invitation, inviting him to a banquet on the upper ten floors.”
The young man's eyes flickered, and he slowly got up and said, “It's been a long time since I've attended such a poetry gathering. It's a good opportunity to move around and see what interesting people there are!”
Hua Rumeng pursed her lips and smiled.
Everyone in the Immortal Lin Imperial Dynasty knew that His Majesty had three hobbies: talent, beauty, and poetry.
——
“Changqing Gege, those sisters just now were all very beautiful. I saw that they were all very enthusiastic about you, inviting you to sleep with them. Why were you so indifferent?”
Qingyin asked curiously.
Isn't it because you're here!
Qin Changqing rolled his eyes in his heart, but he was still a little proud.
Even in the Middle Domain, his charm was still irresistible!
Being handsome can indeed get you freebies!
As the two were talking, suddenly, the red-skirted woman from before walked over and handed over a jade slip with a smile: “Fellow Daoist Changqing, the楼主 (Lóuzhǔ, 'Building Lord', i.e. Hua Rumeng) invites you to discuss the Dao on the upper ten floors.”
Qin Changqing was immediately stunned: “Didn't you say that ordinary people can't enter the upper ten floors?”
The red-skirted woman also had a look of surprise on her face and smiled, “Presumably, it was just a poem that Fellow Daoist casually recited that won the楼主's appreciation. This opportunity is very rare. Fellow Daoist, go quickly.”
Qin Changqing was also very interested in the upper ten floors and also wanted to see the Hua 楼主 again. He took the jade slip and got up to leave.
Myriad Flowers Pavilion, thirtieth floor.
Moon Immortal Hall.
At this moment, there were already more than a dozen cultivators sitting in the hall. Each cultivator was surrounded and served by beauties, and each of them had an extraordinary aura and amazing spiritual power.
On the stage, several women with extraordinary appearances were playing various musical instruments, occasionally stopping to compose poems with the crowd, and the scene was very harmonious.
Qin Changqing led Qingyin and pushed the door open. Everyone in the room immediately turned their heads to look, revealing a look of surprise.
“What's the situation? Can even early-stage Transformation Gods enter the upper ten floors now?”
“Why are the upper ten floors so undisciplined now?”
The faces of the cultivators immediately showed surprised expressions.
Although the rule of the upper ten floors was that anyone could enter as long as they received an invitation, since the establishment of the Myriad Flowers Pavilion, no cultivator below the late stage of the Transformation God realm had ever entered here.
