At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

As night falls, the long streets of Qingxi County are lit up with lights.

The county town, which is quite lively during the day, becomes much quieter after nightfall.

Wu Cai led Mu Yang, praising Qingxianglou all the way, describing how delicious the wines and drinks were, how beautiful the girls were, how unforgettable the experience was, and so on.

In short, here, as long as you're willing to spend money, you'll be treated like royalty and can simply enjoy yourself.

Before long, the two arrived at the entrance of Qingxianglou.

The vermilion gate was wide open, and two large red lanterns hung at the entrance, their warm light illuminating the three large, gilded characters on the lintel: Qingxianglou.

Upon seeing Wu Cai, two young women in light green dresses immediately greeted him with smiles, bowing respectfully to Wu Cai and Mu Yang: "Chief Wu, you've finally arrived! Mama has been saving the best private room, Tingyuxuan, for you!"

"This must be the Shepherd Head, a truly heroic young man, so handsome!"

The girls who greeted guests were clearly professionally trained; they spoke softly and smelled sweet.

Combined with the warm lighting inside the building, it truly makes people feel relaxed.

The building was even more lively, with the sounds of string and wind instruments, singing, and laughter of men and women filling the air. The warm fragrance mixed with the aroma of wine wafted over, making one's bones feel weak.

I have to say, professionals really do make a difference.

Upon entering the Tingyuxuan private room, exquisite pastries were already laid out on the round table: flower cakes, lotus flower pastries, mung bean cakes, and two jars of aged Shaoxing wine sealed with mud.

Before long, several women dressed in light clothing, with delicate shoulders draped in light red gauze, walked gracefully over and began to dance to the accompaniment of melodious music.

The woman at the head of the group had a slender figure, a waist so thin it could be encircled by one hand, skin as white as cream, and an exceptionally beautiful face. Her eyebrows and eyes exuded a captivating charm, and her gaze seemed capable of stealing one's soul.

Even Mu Yang, who had been bombarded with makeup magic and beauty filters in his previous life, had to admit that this woman was indeed attractive.

Wu Cai stared wide-eyed.

Fortunately, Wu Cai seemed to remember that today was the day to entertain Mu Yang. After staring blankly for a while, he came to his senses and said:

"How is it, brother? Isn't it beautiful? This is Hu Mei, the top courtesan of Qingxiang Pavilion. If it weren't for my connections, we wouldn't have been able to make a reservation today."

"Truly extraordinary."

Mu Yang took a sip of Shaoxing wine and nodded slightly.

"In that case, I won't disturb your good time. You can have fun as much as you want. I'll take over for you tomorrow." After saying that, Wu Cai put his arms around one of the other girls and walked out, leaving only Hu Mei behind.

The door closed, Hu Mei slightly raised her hand, covered her lips and chuckled, her eyes falling on Mu Yang.

After a moment, she picked up the wine glass and handed it to Mu Yang, her fingertips lightly brushing against the back of his hand: "Young Master Mu, you are a promising young man. I would like to offer you a toast."

Mu Yang didn't pretend to be a gentleman, nor did he coldly refuse to come over, acting like a reincarnation of Liu Xiahui.

He took the glass and swallowed it in one gulp.

The wine was smooth and mellow as it went down his throat, and the faint fragrance emanating from Hu Mei made Mu Yang's tense muscles relax a bit.

Even the circulation of qi and blood within the body seems to have begun to slow down.

Wait, is the circulation of Qi and blood slow?

Something is wrong!

Perhaps because he had just been drugged last night, Mu Yang was now very sensitive to changes in his body.

He subtly placed his hand on Hu Mei's slender, smooth waist, but his mind was entirely focused on his body.

Upon closer observation, he finally realized that this was not a misperception caused by his relaxation; his blood circulation had indeed slowed down.

Although it's only a little bit.

But with his cultivation level at the Bone Forging stage of the Tendon and Bone Realm, let alone a mere cup of wine, even a whole jar wouldn't have the slightest effect on him.

Damn it!

You really can't eat food from outside; I had two bad things happen after eating there twice!

Last time it was that old Bi Deng, Huang Changgui, who is it this time?

Hu Mei, that vixen?

Seemingly sensing Mu Yang's absent-mindedness, Hu Mei smiled gently, her voluptuous body leaning softly against his chest, and said in a tender voice, "My lord, my body is weak. Tonight, will you be kind to me...?"

Before Hu Mei could finish speaking, a large hand had already been placed on her body.

However, it wasn't the soft spot that most men would prefer, but rather her slender, white neck, as white as mutton fat jade.

"What are you babbling about? If you're going to sell it, fine, but why did you have to drug it? Don't you know I hate this kind of drugging behavior the most!"

Mu Yang grabbed Hu Mei by the neck with one hand, lifting her into the air like a chick, his tone even carrying a hint of annoyance.

Anyone would feel frustrated and impatient if things went wrong at the last minute.

If it weren't for the fear of accidentally injuring someone, Mu Yang would have strangled the other person's neck.

"Uh... my lord, is there some misunderstanding? If I have done something wrong, please tell me clearly, so as not to frighten me..."

Seemingly frightened by Mu Yang's actions, Hu Mei's face turned pale, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked pitiful.

Almost at the same time, a rich fragrance wafted into Mu Yang's nostrils, as if trying to soothe his already tense nerves.

"This feeling..."

Mu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, then his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

It's a monster, definitely a monster!

This aphrodisiac fragrance is just like the fox spirit the old constable told him about, the one that specifically absorbs men's yang energy.

"Light Body Three Breaths," in operation!

Although "Light Body Three Breaths" is a speed-enhancing martial art, when fully charged, it greatly resists negative status effects and can also increase strength slightly.

Before he could ascertain the strength of this woman, who was suspected to be a fox demon, he naturally had to go all out and strike first.

One breath, light body!

Two breaths - building momentum!

Three breaths - Full!

In an instant, the veins on Mu Yang's exposed forearm bulged, and a terrifying force traveled up his arm to Hu Mei's neck.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Yang's blood and qi, which had been slowing down slightly, began to circulate at high speed, like a horse galloping on the battlefield.

His entire demeanor changed abruptly, like a sharp blade being drawn from its sheath, revealing its full power!

"not good!!"

Almost the instant Mu Yang's aura changed, Hu Mei's expression also changed, her pitiful and charming look instantly turning into shock.

She never imagined that her exquisite appearance, concealing the fox's head, tail, and fur, coupled with her innate alluring fragrance, would one day lead to a mishap.

Without a second thought, she immediately mobilized all her demonic power, causing her water-red gauze dress to burst open, her fox tail whipping out from behind her, her alluring face contorting, with a hint of a beard growing out, and her fair fingers extending sharp fox claws in an attempt to retaliate.

Unfortunately, Mu Yang acted decisively and gained the upper hand.

He suddenly exerted force with his five fingers, and then there was a cracking sound. The light in Hu Mei's beautiful eyes immediately disappeared, and her arms, which were just preparing to attack, hung limply in mid-air.
