You are not allowed to do underworld operations in the world of the living!

"Hmm..." Asmodeus discovered the blind spot: "Doesn't that mean that our current drinks and subsequent expenses can all be charged to that person?"

"Well..." The foreman's face changed, and he smiled and said, "Let's put it one thing at a time..."

"Okay, you! You just can't break the rules that are beneficial to you, but you won't follow the other rules, right?"

Samael was furious when he heard this:

"What do you mean by a thousand-year-old store? Isn't this just bullying customers?!"

Seeing that Samair was really angry, the foreman, knowing that he had said something wrong, hurriedly tried to save the situation: "Dear guests, please don't make a sound. I will waive your tonight's fee, okay?"

"No! It's too late to talk about this now. I seriously doubt that the sky lantern is just a story you made up to gild the lily. I have to see what's inside today!"

After saying that, Samael was about to rush out.

He hurriedly stopped him: "No, this is really not something she made up. This rule did exist before."

Samael was stunned and stared at the contract: "Who are you on?"

The contract first let Samael calm down, and then explained: "Really, because I know who the legendary guest is, that person is..."

Before he could finish his words, the tower in the center of Jiuyou Pavilion suddenly emitted a faint purple light!

Contract blinked, and then burst into a rage even more terrifying than Samael: "Didn't you say that the room is not open? I thought you were abiding by the rules and wanted to say something good for you, but you just fooled us like this?! You are still human for having two ends for the same money?!"

The foreman was also stunned. In her memory, the Jiuyou lamp had never been lit since she started working in Jiuyou Pavilion. Even when she changed the furnishings in the room, someone would watch over it to prevent anyone from accidentally touching the Jiuyou lamp. How could it be that today...

And at this critical juncture...

Looking at the furious contract and listening to what he said, such as "you can even cheat dead people out of their money", "you will be punished for doing this", "you have no spirit of contract", etc., Samael's anger disappeared completely.

He poked Asmodeus: "Am I furious or is he furious?"

"He is a contracted demon after all." Asmodeus shrugged, "I have seen people without a spirit of contract behave like this."

The foreman had never seen such a situation before and was completely panicked, but he still remained calm and professional: "Dear guests, please be patient. I will have someone check to see what is going on."

But before she could find someone to verify, a black shadow rushed out from the main pavilion of Jiuyou Pavilion and entered the Jiuyou Tower.

The foreman heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this: "Dear guests, there must have been some malfunction. Look, our Pavilion Master has gone to check it out personally."

Samael and Asmodeus were about to nod, but the contract that had been peaceful from the beginning to the end suddenly became unreasonable: "No, who knows if something you did was exposed? I'm tired of the trick that the final right of interpretation belongs to the organizer. I don't believe it. I have to go and see for myself."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked out, leaving behind the dumbfounded foreman and the maid who was frightened by his ferocious appearance just now.

At this time, the man who had said at the beginning that he would go back after listening to the song stood up, stretched, and said with a look of fun: "Let's go, let's go and take a look together, don't let him suffer any loss."

Samael and Asmodeus came back to their senses and nodded: "Let's go!"

......

"We must have come to the wrong place. Maybe the door has not been used for a long time and has spread to other places. Let's go back first."

Jiang Lu tried to push the others back into the portal.

"I came to the wrong place?" Queen Mother of the West sneered, "Your name is written on it, and you tell me I came to the wrong place?"

Jiang Lu was calm and collected, his face not red and his heart not beating: "Oh, I suddenly remembered that I didn't bring Huang Xiu'e with me. She is the key to our cross-border cooperation, so I have to bring her with me."

"I brought it." Hong Yi unzipped his collar, and a cat's head popped out from his chest.

"No wonder you feel bigger today." Jiang Lu took Huang Xiu'e, threw her aside, and continued to walk towards the portal: "I didn't poop this morning, I'll poop when I get back."

"Asshole!" Queen Mother Xi finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "Explain it to me clearly! What on earth is this place?!"

"Well, um..." Jiang Lu couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to put his hands behind his back, lowered his head, and looked busy. He rubbed the carpet with his feet and explained vaguely: "It's the kind of place where you can have a pretty girl to talk to as long as you pay money."

"A brothel, right?" Queen Mother of the West realized belatedly, "When I went to your royal city before, you didn't stay with me at night, saying that your family had strict discipline and we couldn't stay out overnight. So we ended up coming here, right?!"

"Well...I don't come here every day." Jiang Lu felt a little guilty and avoided his eyes.

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A figure rushed into the room, and before anyone could see her appearance clearly, she threw herself into Jiang Lu's arms.

"Wow, wow, wow! Master, I miss you so much!"

Feeling the sharp gazes around him, Jiang Lu almost stiffened to the point of suffocation.

He asked the charming girl with natural beauty hanging on him with difficulty: "Do I know you?"

"You don't know him." The girl shook her head: "Actually, I don't know you either."

Jiang Lu was stunned: "Then what do you call Master?"

"But my grandmother knows you!"

"You are too milky..."

"She is your 72nd mistress! The first leader of my Jiuyou Pavilion!!" the girl was heartbroken.

Chapter 428 Yalta Conference

"The seventy-second one..." Jiang Lu tried to recall it carefully, but to no avail, so he could only reply with a guilty conscience: "I really can't remember it..."

"Have you forgotten?" The girl tried hard to make Jiang Lu recall: "Back then, you spent a fortune to book the Jiuyou Tower, and let us turn on the lights in the Jiuyou Pavilion just for you. You even renewed the contract for 100,000 years, all for my great-grandmother!"

"Really? Why don't I remember that?"

Although Jiang Lu appeared to be very calm and steady on the surface, he was actually a little worried because he felt that something like this was happening, but he was not sure what the specific situation was, so he could only speak vaguely:

"This kind of thing cannot be judged solely on your own words. How about this? Ask your grandmother to come over next time and I'll ask her in person."

But who would have thought that this tactic, which was obviously an excuse to shirk responsibility and delay the responsibility, was taken seriously by the girl.

I don’t know what touched her, but her eyes suddenly turned red.

"It's too late, it's too late, you've been gone for too long, she's already..."

Hearing this, Jiang Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, good, now there is no evidence.

He turned around to look at Queen Mother Xi and the others, then smiled awkwardly at the girl and said, "Hey, look how unfortunate this is."

"She is no longer in the underworld."

"Eh?"

Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment: "Where is she now?"

"After you disappeared, she also left the underworld. We only know that she went to collect body fragments for you, but we don't know the details because she never came back. Even...even..."

The girl wiped away her tears:

"We don't even know whether she is alive or dead now."

"Uh..."

Jiang Lu felt like there was something stuck in his throat.

Without looking back, he could feel his companions behind him looking at him as if he were trash.

They've been so good to you, and you're just hoping that there won't be any evidence against them?

A wave of self-blame came over me.

Jiang Lu slapped himself hard: "I really deserve to die!"

“No, no, no, no!” The girl quickly grabbed Jiang Lu’s arm to stop him from hitting her.

Then she blew her nose and forced a smile: "But now it's good, you appear again, maybe she will come back after a while."

"Hmm..." Jiang Lu felt too guilty and wanted to avoid the topic, so he asked, "But how did you recognize me? We haven't met before. Even if I am the only one who can turn on the lights in this room, there are so many of us here..."

To be honest, leaving aside the two old masters, Daode Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun, as well as the uncle who was the performer, the appearance of Dong Wanggong and the sickle was pretty good, and together they might be able to match Jiang Lu's charm. If Jiang Lu was not present, he could also be called a handsome young man. But the girl still recognized him at first sight, which really made him feel a little strange.

“Because of the photo.”

The girl replied:

"Grandma left us a photo of her and you. Although the person in the photo looks slightly different from you, there is no mistaking her temperament."

"Oh?" Jiang Lu sensed that the girl was going to praise him, so he laughed and asked with interest, "What kind of temperament?"

"Maybe..." The girl thought for a moment, "He is erotic but not lascivious, like the Supreme Nine Dragons among prostitutes."

"..."

Perhaps she felt that if she continued listening, she would lose her temper. She pushed Jiang Lu and urged him, "Okay, if you really want to reminisce, you can sneak back when we are not here, but don't forget why we are here."

"Hmm..." Jiang Lu believed it and stroked his chin: "Why don't you guys stay away?"

"?" Queen Mother Xi was in disbelief at first, and then she couldn't help but sneer: "Okay, okay, you really want to reminisce about the past, right?"

Jiang Lu realized it later: "Ah, you are speaking sarcastically."

At this point, the girl blinked and said something that was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Ah, Master, this aunt is so fierce, unlike my grandmother who obeys you in everything. Didn't you tell my grandmother before that you like gentle women like her?"

"..."

The Queen Mother of the West clenched her fist uncontrollably. Hong Yi and Xuan Nu, who were also a little angry, subconsciously stepped back and decided not to get involved in this high-end game.

Seeing this, Jiang Lu quickly covered the girl's mouth and said, "Don't make trouble for me. And I just wanted to say it. Why are you calling me master? I have nothing to do with you. Don't call me that!"

But it was too late to remedy the situation, as the Queen Mother of the West was completely broken.

"Where's the photo? Ask her to bring it over so I can see how gentle she can be?!"

"Because..." Seeing that she seemed to have messed up things, the girl hurriedly broke free from Jiang Lu's hand and explained: "My grandmother said that all the previous Pavilion Masters must address you as Master whenever they see you."

After that, she took out a photo from her bosom, handed it to Queen Mother Xi, and then said with some apology: "I'm sorry, I just lost my composure. In fact, people like the master are destined to have countless confidantes. I know this, and my grandmother also knows it, because what she did was just to see the master again, and she didn't ask for anything else. I just... am a little unwilling..."

Queen Mother of the West's expression changed slightly, and then she took the photo with a mixed mood and looked at the man and woman in the photo.

Then petrified.

She raised her head suddenly and questioned, "No...the photos passed down in your family are of this style?"

Everyone looked curiously and saw Jiang Lu and the strange woman in the photo in exaggerated poses, one hanging upside down and the other bending down, both naked, as if they were performing acrobatics.

Even Jiang Lu himself frowned when he saw it.

"Of course." The girl said with a smile: "This is a brothel. This is the style of things that have been passed down from our ancestors. Do you understand the aesthetics of the human body?"
