Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the robed elder walked ahead toward the upper floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl paused, staring at her grandfather’s back, her slender eyebrows knitting together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she had an inexplicable feeling that the other party seemed almost pleased by the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl gritted her teeth and immediately followed, wishing she could beat up Li Muxian for corrupting her grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the giant men who had surrounded them now followed step by step, clearly to prevent Li Muxian and his group from fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Li Muxian and his three companions were led by the hirsute giant into a lavish hall on the third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s the Flower Queen? Where the hell is she?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scar-faced giant plopped onto a sable-fur armchair, pulled out a pouch of gold, and slammed it onto the redwood tea table with a *thud*, barking orders at the hirsute giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hirsute giant glanced at the pouch, then sneered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This much gold won’t buy you the Flower Queen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the scar-faced giant froze for a moment, then suddenly slammed his fist on the table, pointing at Li Muxian and the robed elder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you blind? Isn’t there anyone else here? Don’t they have money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Li Muxian raised an eyebrow—this was true; he had no money at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, throughout the journey, Hu Rui’an and the others had handled all expenses, and he’d rushed off to fight at Luoshen Peak, so he certainly hadn’t brought any silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look at the robed elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And him? Even less need be said—his coarse hemp robes were ragged, clearly the look of a pauper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, the hirsute giant glanced at Li Muxian and the robed elder, but remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the scar-faced giant slammed the table again, then pointed at the girl in pink:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See this? A natural beauty—she could even pay off your debt just by staying at Bai Xiang Pavilion, worth at least a hundred gold!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F***!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl leapt to her feet in a rage, reaching for the small pouch at her waist as if to kill the scar-faced giant on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the robed elder swiftly caught her wrist and slowly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a woman in a black long dress glided into the hall, swaying her hips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her followed the previous page boy and several graceful young women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard tonight a great guest intends to hire all the Flower Queens of Bai Xiang Pavilion—such extravagance deserves a look at who’s behind it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in black, heavily made-up, waved her hand casually, and the hirsute giant immediately stepped aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then her peach-blossom eyes began to scan the four men before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, her gaze brightened—and settled on Li Muxian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a handsome man!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in black clapped her hands suddenly, her face—caked in thick rouge—broke into a grin, making white powder dust down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the scar-faced giant on the sable-fur chair grew furious, slamming the table hard again, making the woman’s eyelids flicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing? Dilly-dallying—is it you or me who’s here to visit brothels? Get the Flower Queens up now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scar-faced giant roared at the woman in black, his eyes sweeping over the line of young women behind her, then he swallowed hard and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, isn’t my face handsome enough? What good are some pretty pillows that are useless inside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Li Muxian glanced at the scar-faced giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of talk is this? You’ve already courted death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the woman in black, facing his outburst, remained utterly calm, slowly erasing her smile and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai Xiang Pavilion has its rules. Whether you’re here to cause trouble or just for fun, all who come are guests.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want the Flower Queens, I can provide them. But if you can’t afford it, you’ll have to follow the rules—and bear the consequences.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the scar-faced giant smashed the table before him into splinters, roaring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s all this nonsense? I don’t have money—so what Flower Queen am I supposed to pick? Do you think I’m here to get myself killed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the scar-faced giant felt like crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to die—but Li Muxian insisted on dying and dragged him along. If that’s the case, he might as well enjoy himself first before dying; at least he wouldn’t have lived in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, the woman in black glanced at the scar-faced giant, narrowing her eyes slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai Xiang Pavilion has nine Flower Queens. Three are currently occupied; the remaining six have been brought for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she clapped her hands, and the six young women stepped forward in delicate steps, stopping before Li Muxian and his group, then bowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each woman had a slender, elegant figure and stunning beauty, their black hair adorned with jeweled gold dangling hairpins that trembled and shimmered with every movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their skin was whiter than frost, smoother than jade; their lips like crimson dots, their eyes like autumn pools, each glance radiating a mesmerizing allure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scar-faced giant rose trembling, staring at the beautiful women before him, his gaze fixed—he lunged forward, shouting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take them all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he even began to agree with Li Muxian’s idea of hiring every Flower Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To spend a night with these women—even if it meant death, he’d accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that instant, the woman in black extended one hand and effortlessly halted the scar-faced giant in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how hard he pushed forward, he couldn’t move an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At Bai Xiang Pavilion, if a girl is worth over a hundred gold, she chooses the guest. You must be chosen by the Flower Queens first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in black spoke without expression, then gave a light push—and the scar-faced giant flew backward, landing hard on the armchair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The push jolted him back to his senses. His face twisted, then he sat up, staring at the woman in black, speaking low and grim:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So if none of them pick us, we don’t have to pay anything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the woman in black suddenly burst into laughter, her body shaking merrily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At Bai Xiang Pavilion, whether the Flower Queens choose you or not, the guest must pay every single coin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, the scar-faced giant froze, then his whole body shook violently—he grabbed his head and roared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! Damn it! You’re all damned—how can such an unfair rule exist?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screaming, he suddenly lifted his head again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! I don’t want the Flower Queens anymore! Bring me every woman in Bai Xiang Pavilion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the woman in black, teeth clenched:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1133,"2026-06-20T01:43:39.330Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2c78377f754284a5c5b6df39c4212cff56fd22a609bad7f840a820ffedaa94c4","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-215","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-213",259,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-cover.jpg"]
