However, within each Mystical Arts, there are its own taboos. For instance, the Sound-to-Image ability, like using Spiritual Sense to see through a woman's body, cannot be activated at will. Exceeding certain limits can actually diminish one's cultivation, which is the principle of extremes turning into opposites.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Xiao Yun would not casually activate the Sound-to-Image ability.
Regardless of anything else, since a mysterious beauty has arranged to meet at midnight, why shouldn't I go?
Even if I encounter a scammer—if it's a beautiful scammer, Master Xiao wouldn't mind teasing her a bit. It could even be a chance to relax at a bar.
Thinking this way, Master Xiao felt invigorated again. He hurriedly got out of bed, dressed up, and used his fingers to comb his hair in front of the mirror. He then put on the clothes that Kato Yoshiko had bought for him.
He stylishly turned around in front of the mirror and shook his head, feeling quite pleased.
Boss Lady was leaning on the counter and seemed to be asleep.
To avoid waking Boss Lady, Xiao Yun lifted his legs carefully and quietly slipped out the front door…
Just as Xiao Yun stepped outside, Boss Lady lifted her head from the counter. She then stood up, walked around the counter, and stood at the back door. Glancing at Xiao Yun's departing figure, she muttered to herself, "This oddball is out at this hour again. Is he going out to meet some beauties?"
……
Black Rose Bar.
At this time, it was also when the city's bars were most bustling with business.
What does it mean to live in drunken ecstasy? One can see it clearly here.
Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting seductive colors that enveloped the entire hall in a dreamy haze. In the center of the stage, numerous men and women swayed their bodies to the music, lost in this frenzied atmosphere—some flipping their golden hair, others shaking their heads adorned with earrings, or flaunting their slim waists in revealing outfits… This was a world filled with urban madness and indulgence.
The bartender behind the bar counter focused on shaking cocktails, seemingly unaffected as he prepared drink after drink to satisfy the customers. He appeared calm, as if observing everything from a distance, watching them squander their youth and time.
In front of this long bar counter sat a young beauty dressed in a cool and sexy fitted long dress, elegantly crossing her stunning white legs as she sat alone, savoring her drink.
This beauty looked to be in her early twenties, with azure silks cascading over her shoulders. She had willow leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and a straight jade nose, complemented by sensual and rosy lips that exuded a unique charm.
With her delicate brows slightly furrowed, she seemed somewhat lonely. Any man in such a setting would be unable to resist approaching such a beauty enjoying her drink alone.
An obese man, who had been eyeing the lady's beauty for quite some time, approached with a drink in hand and said, "Beautiful lady, aren't you lonely drinking alone? How about I keep you company? I have plenty of money!"
The beauty shot him a sidelong glance and retorted sharply, "Get lost!"
"You..." The obese man could only leave in defeat.
"Miss, how about we share a cup of wine?" Another man with shoulder-length hair and an artistic flair came over and sat beside the beauty, leering at her.
The beauty glared at him fiercely and said, "Get lost! Go drink with your mother!"
"What the hell, do you dare insult me?" The cultured man immediately glared back and shouted.
The beauty coldly replied, "What's wrong with cursing at you, you beast? I might just hit you!"
Smack!
She immediately slapped him hard across the face.
The man let out a strange cry and swung his fist toward the beauty.
However, his fist froze in mid-air, as someone tightly grasped his wrist.
It felt as if his entire wrist was about to be crushed, causing the man to scream in pain, sweat pouring down from his forehead.
He turned his head and found two burly men standing behind him, with large earrings hanging from their earlobes, their faces showing a fierce glare.
One of the Black-faced Brutes was gripping his wrist tightly.
"Damn it, how dare you bully my young master!" Suddenly, seven or eight young people with dyed red hair surged out from the shadows, all holding steel pipes, surrounding the two burly men.
Seeing the Red-Haired Youths, the young man with an artistic flair suddenly gained courage and shouted at them, "Everyone, attack! Take these two guys down and bring that beauty with us!"
Crack!
With a slight exertion of strength, the Black-faced Brute crushed the young man's wrist.
"Ah—" With a scream of agony, the artistic young man collapsed to the ground, fainting instantly.
Faced with the rushing Red-Haired Youths, the two burly men suddenly exuded a terrifying aura that spread outward like towering waves.
The Red-Haired Youths halted in their tracks because within a two-meter radius of the two burly men, it felt as if there was an impenetrable barrier blocking their way.
What… what is happening?
Just as the Red-Haired Youths were filled with fear, the beauty sitting at the Bar Counter casually played with her high-stemmed wine glass and lightly said, "Throw these annoying guys out for me!"
Clearly, the two burly men were the beauty's bodyguards.
“Hi!”
The two burly men responded with a grunt, waving their hands as an overwhelming force of Qi Jin surged forth from them.
Before the few Red-Haired Youth could comprehend what was happening, they, along with the artistic young man lying on the ground, were swept away like fallen leaves in a storm, flying out of the bar.
Bang bang bang...
Those individuals landed like toads beside a Red Bentley that happened to be passing by, grimacing and groaning, unable to get up from the ground for a while.
At this moment, the people inside the bar, who were indulging in wild revelry, were all stunned by the terrifying skills of the two burly men.
Outside, the door of the Red Bentley opened, and Xiao Yun emerged from within.
This Bentley was left for Long Yan to use by Leng Mei.
However, Long Yan had her own car and gave this one to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun usually preferred taking taxis when going out, but tonight he drove the Bentley over due to time constraints.
It was common for people to be thrown out of bars; either they tried to dine and dash or flirted with women, provoking jealousy among other men... Such occurrences were nothing new. Therefore, Xiao Yun didn’t spare a glance at the men lying on the ground. With his hands in his pockets, he strolled directly back into the bar.
As soon as Xiao Yun appeared at the entrance, he caught the attention of a beautiful woman sitting at the Bar Counter. She paused for a moment before breaking into a radiant smile and waved at Xiao Yun, saying, “Long San, come here—”
