Chapter 62: The First Lucky One Tonight

At first glance, when he saw the Health Bar, Li Jing thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Upon closer examination, the Health Bar was indeed floating above Qu Lianghong’s head, moving with her.

The Health Bar’s value was 3312.

Beginning of the Three Realm.

A human-shaped demon!?

Li Jing was a bit stunned.

Before coming to the Flying Fairy Bar, he had many thoughts.

But he never expected the dubious Qu Lianghong to be a human-shaped demon!

On stage, Qu Lianghong, responding to the whistles and cheers, came to the microphone stand in the center, took the microphone, and showed a confident and charming smile.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, thank you all for always..."

Before she could finish, someone from the crowd interrupted.

"Sister Red! Cut the preamble, just tell us who you will choose first tonight!"

Once someone initiated, others immediately joined in.

"Choose me, choose me! Sister Red! I don’t mind your service is poor!"

"Sister Red, I can do seven times in a night!"

"Seven times? I can easily do seventeen times!"

"Seven times, bro, I respect you. Seventeen times, how fast are you?"

Most of the crowd’s chants were tinged with obscenities, but most of them were made in a joking tone.

Qu Lianghong gave an ambiguous smile to the crowd’s heckling, an angry blush appearing on her enchanting cheeks.

"You guys are becoming more and more outrageous, I am an innocent girl. Midnight liaisons are just pure exchanges with those who support me. It’s not as vulgar as you think. If you keep talking nonsense, I might get angry and not sing!"

Hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter.

It is worth mentioning.

The crowd was mostly joking, no one would rudely ascribe any labels to Qu Lianghong.

Everyone was just here for fun, a bit of joking around was fine.

If taken seriously, it would ruin the fun.

Moreover, no one could say for sure whether Qu Lianghong was actually performing the indescribable transactions behind the scenes.

After all, none of the ones chosen ever came back to the bar, and no one knew what the midnight liaisons were really about.

The people Qu Lianghong chose were peculiar and baffling.

Shouldn’t transactions be based on money?

If she were truly selling herself, then she would naturally pick those who looked rich.

Yet Qu Lianghong always chose those who looked penniless, there was never an exception.

Because of this bizarre affair, many people came out of curiosity.

If it was confirmed that Qu Lianghong was doing what they suspected, would there be so many patrons?

Those who came to the bar to have fun always held some hope for an unforgettable romantic encounter.

But they weren’t all undemanding.

Qu Lianghong picked five or six in one night. If there was really some action going on, who among those present would dare to drop their pants?

If things went wrong, it could be a lifelong problem.

Qu Lianghong’s playful act further heated the already lively atmosphere of the bar, causing Li Jing to frown.

Purely based on how she controlled the crowd, Qu Lianghong’s hosting skills were impressive.

The midnight liaisons were quite the attention-grabber.

Observing Qu Lianghong, who was the focus of the stage, Li Jing had some thoughts.

Evil Cultivators and human-shaped demons are both species that shun the light.

Would there be any connection between the two? He couldn’t say for certain.

But Qu Lianghong’s high-profile behavior was somewhat excessive.

Human-shaped demons hide in the world to live a better life among humans. They do involve themselves with various occupations to support their livelihood.

Just like Ji Qing, who ran a hot pot restaurant for a living.

It wasn’t a big deal if Qu Lianghong simply wanted to be the resident singer at the bar.

But she had created such a huge gimmick, which was against the principle of human-shaped demons living inconspicuously.

Whether she was really engaging in those kinds of transactions or not, is beside the point for now.

With such blatant gimmicks to attract customers, it won’t be long before she will have to face official inquiries and investigations.

This one...

Is she really fearless?

On one side, Li Jing was perplexed, while Qu Lianghong surveyed the entire place and her gaze finally landed on him.

Their eyes locked, and Li Jing was taken aback once again.

On the other side, Qu Lianghong flashed a smile.

"Handsome, come on stage. Tonight, I’ll announce you first."

"..."

Li Jing.

Shit!

Was I really chosen?

He hesitated and looked at Qu Lianghong’s health bar, which stood at a whopping 3312. Then, glancing at the envious eyes around him, he put on a smile and stepped forward.

The people in front automatically made way.

From the corner in the bar, Lu Yangcheng watched Li Jing become the first "lucky one" of the night, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Our king was chosen, what do we do next?"

"That’s a good thing, let’s wait and watch."

Yi Xiuzhu said casually.

Just as the two were talking, Li Jing had climbed on stage.

Qu Lianghong took the initiative and had already walked towards him before he even got on stage.

Seeing Li Jing’s stiff smile as he came up, she laughed seductively.

"Handsome, you seem a bit nervous?"

"Nervous isn’t the right word, just didn’t expect to be chosen suddenly."

Li Jing seized the words and quickly adjusted.

Seeing his expression quickly go back to normal, Qu Lianghong gave him the microphone, a smile playing on her lips.

"What’s your name? Would you mind telling us?"

Li Jing blinked at the microphone that had been thrust at him.

"Lu Yangcheng."

!!!

Lu Yangcheng, who was watching the stage, was taken aback.

Yi Xiuzhu, who generally had a cool demeanor, didn’t react other than a small twitch at the corner of his mouth.

On stage, when Qu Lianghong heard Li Jing’s response, she looked down and chuckled lightly.

"Everyone heard that, my first date for tonight is this handsome guy named Lu Yangcheng. Remember him, he might be the one who gets free drinks for a month at the bar."

Her words were met with a chorus of cheers and all kinds of remarks.

Some thought Li Jing couldn’t make it, while others cheered him on and urged him to come again tomorrow.

Lu Yangcheng gritted his teeth in anger at the variety of comments.

He was not worried about his name being spread online; what would it matter if his name became known?

If someone was to spread his name, they would definitely have to spread his picture first.

And if the picture doesn’t match with the name, it wouldn’t concern him.

The key was that instead of help, Li Jing was clearly try to sabotage him! It was a ruthless move!

Qu Lianghong kicked up the atmosphere again with an invite, and motioned him to the side.

"Handsome, sit over there for a while. The show will end in around three hours, please wait till the end."

"Okay."

Li Jing nodded and took a seat at the empty spot on the side of the stage.

As soon as he settled down, the melodious music began, and Qu Lianghong, holding the microphone, returned to the center of the stage. Her eyes half-closed, swaying gently in tune with the music.

The noise in the area quieted down, and the crowd grew silent.

In the spotlight, Qu Lianghong’s enchanting stature was hard to ignore.

Soon, the overture ended.

Qu Lianghong’s lips parted, and the clear sound of singing rang out.

Upon hearing the song, Li Jing raised an eyebrow.

Qu Lianghong’s singing skills were really good, even comparable to a professional singer.

Just as he was ready to listen carefully, his Clothing Protection Spirit suddenly reacted. Spiritual power, originally evenly distributed within his body, concentrated around his ears, blocking some invisible force.

Feeling this sudden change, Li Jing’s eyes shot to Qu Lianghong.

This was the first time his Clothing Protection Spirit had reacted on its own.

But this did not prevent him from realizing that there was something fishy about Qu Lianghong’s singing; it contained a hidden method.

This woman, was a big problem!
