  Chapter 48: Drinking in the Emerald Cloud Pavilion

  Guo Fei's mind stirred, and he stored it in the Soldier Symbol Space, placing it in the Corpse Soldier Hall. In an instant, the misty Corpse Soldier Hall erupted as the Skull Staff entered, with the gray mist churning and enveloping the staff. As the gray mist penetrated the Skull Staff space, the War Ghosts and Soul Wasps let out a cheer and charged forward, sucking the mist into their mouths.

  The wounded war spirit, his body instantly restored to its original state, became even more solid and substantial, and a joyful intention was conveyed to Guo Fei. The two unconscious soul devourers' bodies also became more solid, with the sharp teeth in their mouths becoming even more conspicuous.

  Guo Fei was extremely surprised, the gray mist in the Corpse Soldier Hall was released from the corpse soldiers after they were placed inside, covering their bodies and helping them evolve. When the corpse soldiers came out of their coffins, most of the gray mist was absorbed by them, and the remaining part dispersed and floated around the hall. Unexpectedly, the Corpse Soldier Hall actually had the power to transform decay into wonder, it seemed that this should be the energy favored by the land soul.

  Huǒ Qiāng and Xiǎo Hēi were shocked, they knew that the skull staff couldn't be stored in the storage ring, but Guō Fēi had somehow made it disappear. Xiǎo Hēi thought to himself, "Guō Fēi must have hidden it away for his own use." Huǒ Qiāng thought to himself, "Little brother has indeed sealed it with a secret method."

  Guo Fei looked at the two people's eyes, roughly guessing what was going on, and didn't explain. He let the corpse soldier find the flying knife and bring it to his hand, instantly putting the corpse soldier back into the Corpse Soldier Hall, making himself even more mysterious.

  "Xiao Yue, are you hurt?" Guo Fei looked at Hu Xiao Yue's pale face and asked with concern.

  "It's nothing, just a minor injury! I'll be fine after a night's rest." Hu Xiaoyue forced herself to say. She knew that the two people in front of her were unknown quantities and she couldn't show weakness.

  "Little brother, great kindness doesn't need to be thanked, but there's something I must do. I, Yang Zhi, will not hesitate to go through fire and water." Fire Gun cupped his hands in respect.

  "Yang brother spoke heavily, this person covets my family's Xiaoyue's treasure, it is only right that he should suffer thus! I don't know why the two of you fell into his hands." Guo Fei, although not very experienced, felt that the man in front of him was a true gentleman, with clear eyes and no attempt to conceal his emotions, this kind of person is rarely seen.

  "Alas! It's hard to put into words!" Yang Zhi sighed. His face revealed a miserable expression, making people feel heartbroken just by looking at him.

  "Why don't we go to the Wusong Town tavern instead? We can have a drink and chat, just like old times?" Guo Fei suggested with a sincere tone.

  "To be honest with you, brother, nowadays I and Xiao Hei are penniless. The old man is happy to give us a drink only when he's in the mood. I won't speak nicely, it's been two years since we last had a taste of wine. How nostalgic!"

  "Oh. Since we've met, it's fate! Today, I'll be the host and accompany you in getting drunk, how about that? Haha!" Guo Fei saw Yang Zhi speaking like this, without any pretence or artificiality, very sincere, showing his true nature as a man, and couldn't help but laugh loudly.

  "Take good care of your wound!" Guo Fei glanced at Hu Xiaoyue, raised his hand and put it away in the dance pavilion, placing it in her small compartment.

  Yang Zhi and Xiao Hei were slightly stunned, and their surprise at Guo Fei's mysteriousness grew even more astonishing. Being able to send living things into unknown space was something they had never seen or heard of before. This was exactly the effect Guo Fei wanted, without any explanation. Xiao Hei's eyes showed a hint of disappointment as he reluctantly looked at where Hu Xiaoyue stood, before slowly leaving.

  Wusong Town, at midnight, all the wine shops on the street were closed, only Lipstick Street was still brightly lit.

  Zī fěn jiē cuì yún gé, jiù shì tīng "lǎo èr" shuō yǒu gè hěn yǒu míng de "yān zhī hóng" suǒ zài de dì fāng. Guō fēi jiù dài zhe liǎng rén lái dào le zhè lǐ, zhè lǐ bù dàn yǒu nǚ rén, gèng shì yǒu jiǔ yàn, ér qiě kě yǐ chè yè kuáng huān.

  "Wow, you're so young and yet such a connoisseur! I'm truly impressed. There's no place like this in the Western Regions!" Little Hei couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw Guo Fei bring them here, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he looked at Guo Fei.

  Yang Zhi beside him furrowed his brow, seemingly unwilling to enter such a place for the first time.

  "Yang, we're only here to get drunk. As for worldly things, how can they disturb my mood?" Guo Fei observed his expression and, having often frequented "nightclubs" in his past life, he couldn't help but understand Xiao Ge's state of mind. He immediately put on a gentlemanly demeanor and smiled calmly.

  "Oh. Brother Guo's words have enlightened me, if I continue to make excuses, it would be even more embarrassing." Yang Zhi smiled and walked in.

  Guo Fei, although it was his first time here, still had the experience of his past life. The aura of a "dandy" and a "military brat" that he put on was incredibly vivid, but in reality, he didn't need to pretend because he used to be one.

  Striding into the attic, he headed straight for the luxurious suite. Having heard Old Two mention this place multiple times, Guo Fei naturally understood the situation here.

  The old procuress's eyes lit up as she saw Guo Fei wearing a luxurious white rhinoceros leather armor, standing tall with his chest out, exuding an air of grandeur. Behind him followed two men, one of whom held a long gun in his hand, like a bodyguard. She hurriedly welcomed them with a charming smile.

  "Rosy suite!" Guo Fei said calmly, looking at the smiling old madam.

  "Sir. Rouge is not receiving guests and has already gone to sleep. I'll find another girl to serve you, guaranteed to be more satisfying than Rouge."

  "Cut the nonsense!" Guo Fei raised his hand and tossed two gold coins into hers.

  "Wait a moment, sir. The young lady is resting in the house and I'll have her get ready immediately." The old procuress smiled with glee as she took the gold coins and was about to leave.

  "Hold on, prepare a sumptuous feast for me, with dark wheat wine and roasted lamb head. I'm treating my friends to dinner and entertainment, don't be slow." Guo Fei tossed over two more gold coins.

  "Grandpa, rest assured, the wine here is authentic black wheat wine and huangjiu. The banquet is crafted by imperial chefs, guaranteed to satisfy you." The old madam swished her hips away happily.

  Xiao Hei's heart was racing, and in an instant, he threw out four gold coins. He had been following Sha Wujie for many days, and together with Yang Zhi, the three of them could live on less than two gold coins a month.

  "That old miser, he deserved to die! And look at this young man, so generous!" Little Hei thought to himself. His eyes stared straight ahead, gazing at the women who were smiling and laughing, coming and going, with their breasts half-exposed, and his mouth began to water.

  "Brother Yang, do you believe there are courtesans here who don't sell their bodies?" Guo Fei said with a smile to Yang Zhi, who didn't even glance at him.

  "There are many loyal people in the world, why isn't there one?" Yang Zhi seemed to recall something and said in a low voice.

  "Tomato!" Xiao Hei let out a disdainful snort.

  "Yang, everyone is here for their own gain. You don't understand this place, my brother told me that 'Rouge' doesn't receive guests easily, to see her true face costs five gold coins, and to accompany her for a drink costs ten gold coins. I didn't believe it, so today I'll try it out, just to help us get into the mood." Guo Fei chuckled as he walked into Rouge's private room.

  The efficiency here is very fast, and in less than half a minute, a sumptuous feast was laid out on the table, and two jars of good wine were also brought up.

  "Bring a bigger bowl!" Guo Fei waved his hand at the waiter, who exchanged the small cup for a large bowl.

  "Yang brother, cheers!" Guo Fei personally poured him a bowl, and the two of them clinked bowls together.

  Yang Zhi poured it down his throat, raised his head and took a long breath, couldn't help but let out a loud shout: "Good wine!"

  Xiao Hei didn't hesitate and gulped down his drink in one go.

  "Everyone, I'm late!" Not long after, a woman walked out from the inner room, floating over to them with a gentle swaying motion. She gave the three of them a slight bow. This woman was obviously a maid, with ordinary looks.

  "Oh, rouge!" Guo Fei exclaimed with wide eyes.

  "Miss Rouge is not receiving guests, she's playing a tune in the inner chamber to entertain you gentlemen." As soon as the woman finished speaking, she clapped her hands and the sound of a qin being played echoed from within.

  "Haha, I understand the rules. This young master has money!" Guo Fei raised his hand and five gold coins fell in front of the maid.

  "Wait a moment, sir!" The woman turned and entered the inner room. Before long, she returned with a woman wearing a thin veil, carrying a guqin, who sat down at a small table beside the wine table and began to play the instrument.
