LIGHTNOVELONLINE 4: Legacy
Li Fei ditched the crate and covered the hole with manure-mixed mud like nothing had ever happened after he put all the valuables inside the Spatial Ring.
From the vast amount of Xianxia novels that Li Fei had read during his highschool, it didn't take too much for him to understand the basic principles of Dao of Space that is imbued into the Spatial Ring.
Peng Lao's Spatial Ring has the capacity of ten tons in weight and could store any items ranging from Low-grade items to Supreme-grade items. A very convenient tool for long range travel.
However, something bothered his mind, why is the Spatial Ring completely empty? Upon looking at the grandeur of Peng Lao's brothel, Li Fei got the answer almost immediately.
“Three-story mansion, built on thousands of square meters of land, situated in the very heart of the Yunhai City, and has hundreds of rooms for regular guests and VIP Guests, this establishment ain't coming for cheap, I see.” Li Fei muttered. “Back on Earth's modern day, only celebrities and world leaders could afford this kind of luxury.”
Li Fei was baffled by the wealth of the people in this world relative to earthling. “Tsk! No wonder why powerful cultivators always belittle others whose power is below them, especially commoners and mere mortals.”
It was quite the luxury for a Cultivator without a noble background to have a Spatial Ring which would cost tens of thousands of gold coins in the market. Li Fei began to wonder how Peng Lao could amass so much wealth in the past. Unfortunately, everything about Peng Lao's memories in the past was blocked for some reason.
“It seems like the late owner of this body deliberately wiped his own memory, or… somebody did it to him.”
'Oh, well, like I care.’
Li Fei jogged merely into the bathroom which had been prepared by Aylan. She dons a bath towel around her body and wears nothing under it. Her hair was tied into a high bun, a pair of wisps hair cascades down elegantly on either side of her cheeks. Though she wasn't completely naked, her curvaceous, alluring body looks even sexier and screams ‘Please touch me.’
‘She understands the assignment, huh? That's a well-educated courtesan for you.’ Li Fei murmured under his breath.
“The bath is ready, Master. Shall I wash your body first?” Aylan's seductive voice combined with her bountiful bosoms undeniably made Li Fei's lower compartment begin to feel tight.
However, it's not the time or the place, he still needs to comprehend and process the information from the books that he just found, and more importantly, recovering his body from the wretched poison. Li Fei was also concerned that the poison might contaminate Aylan's body had they gone overboard in the bathtub.
“I appreciate your offer, but no. I can do it myself. Besides, you also need to prepare yourself for the night, no?”
Ayla's legs became fidgety, “Actually, I have been ‘very dry’ for the last couple of years. Since the maidservants and other courtesans were left, I have been managing the establishment while also nursing you, master.”
Li Fei palmed himself, he cursed himself for being so ignorant and failed to notice Aylan and Yulan's burden while Peng Lao was nothing but a living corpse in his bed for years.
“I'm sorry for my incompetence, Aylan.”
“It's not your fault, Master! It's been a rough time, but we will manage it somehow, the two of us will run this place until you are fully recovered!”
“While seeing both of you enduring the hardship and harassed by the guests by each night? As for you know, it would leave a bad taste in my mouth. We will close the House of Phoenixes temporarily so we can recuperate from our wounds.”
Aylan almost cried, she never thought that her Master could be very considerate. Back in the days, when Peng Lao was in his prime, he cared nothing as long as the guests paid the fee and the courtesans got their share. Apart from that, Peng Lao turns blind eye to how his courtesans' fare during the night.
“Er, how about the taxes? Hiring fresh, well-educated courtesans and other staff would cost us a fortune.”
“Hmph, don't fret about it. I got it covered.” Li Fei winked at her.
Aylan gaped upon realizing why her master dug a manure-mixed mud early in the morning.
“Master! Was that your…”
“Whatever you mean, Aylan.” Li Fei stared daggers at her.
She immediately understood the meaning behind her master's sharp gaze. She then makes a zipping mouth gesture followed by blinded eyes and deafened ears.
Having a load of money amidst the near bankruptcy would lead to a total destruction into the establishment and Aylan understands his hidden message really well.
“Good girl.” Li Fei ruffles her hair. “Go help your sister. I will visit both of you tonight.”
Her face was completely flushed, it was both embarrassing and also exciting to have a night visit from her master which rarely happened, even in Peng Lao's prime.
“Understood, Master…” Aylan smiled impishly and then merrily skipped away as she left the bathroom.
“Fyuh! That was close!” Li Fei glanced at his ‘mighty dragon' which was in urgent need to unleash its load. “Hang on, little fella, we need to fix this body before anything.”
Li Fei soaked his body into the bath, only leaving his head on the surface.
“Alright, let's see what these pills are capable of.”
Thus, Li Fei popped one First Revolution Qi Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth and cracked it in one bite.
The sweet fragrance and very refreshing aroma permeated in his mouth. Shortly after, the warmth energy spread in his whole body, filling it with Pure Yang Qi Energy that is very beneficial for the recovery of his damaged visceral organs.
Slowly, the wretched poison in his livers, kidneys, were being secreted via his sweats. The process was very painful, even for a Third Stage Body Refining. Fortunately, Li Fei was no stranger to pain, compared to what he had experienced back on earth, this kind of pain was akin to relaxation for him.
One hour later, one-third of the poison had been successfully secreted, the water had turned gray and had putrid stench carried by the steams. Li Fei was unbothered by the smell, instead, he was so happy upon seeing his skin tone had returned to normal, flawlessly white and very elastic as if he had just been reborn or something.
“Sweet! I still have four more pills, let's see how far I can go until I reach my limit. If possible, I would like to get rid of the poison by evening so I can teach the twins the Divine Yin Yang Unification.”
