Stealing The Yuri Protagonist Harem (Xianxia) - Chapter 45: Old Wang's Woman?

On the third day of the closure of the Demon Artifact Pavilion, Luo Wusheng and his Junior Sister arrived at the Trial Martial Arena to the north of the royal city.

The one in charge of overseeing the trials at the northern platform was Wang Wude, the most powerful among the four officers.

The two of them still found a nearby teahouse to watch the matches.

However, they weren’t able to get the best seats today.

The number of people coming to watch the matches at the Trial Martial Arena had increased at least several times compared to yesterday, which resulted in all the good seats at nearby tea houses being reserved early and the prices had also increased.

Fortunately, Luo Wusheng and his Junior Sister arrived relatively early and were able to secure a booth with a view of the arena.

Of course, if they were willing to pay a high price or reveal their identities, they could easily obtain a better booth, but that would attract too much attention.

At this moment, Luo Wusheng and Bai Xiaoyao were sitting facing each other in the booth. Bai Xiaoyao thoughtfully poured the brewed tea into a cup and placed it in front of her Senior Brother.

“Senior Brother, aren’t you going to play chess today?”

Bai Xiaoyao poured herself a cup of tea and looked at her Senior Brother.

“Ahem, I forgot to bring it when I left today. But it doesn’t matter, we can just focus on watching the matches.”

Luo Wusheng replied calmly without changing his expression.

‘Senior Brother cares too much about his image— I’ll purposely lose a few games next time.’

The understanding demoness quickly figured out the reason why her Senior Brother didn’t want to play chess and chuckled to herself while continuing the conversation:

“After a single night, more and more people have come to the Trial Martial Arena. Everything is just as Senior Brother had predicted. Various other forces have also been promoting our Demon Artifact Pavilion since last night, attracting many other people.”

Listening to his Junior Sister’s words, Luo Wusheng responded with a “hmm” and said: “They seem to be more impatient than I expected.”

“So, when does Senior Brother plan to make a move?” Bai Xiaoyao asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

“No rush, let the heat fly a little longer,” Luo Wusheng said with a pretense of profundity.

Although Bai Xiaoyao didn’t quite understand what her Senior Brother meant by the second half of his sentence, she could guess the general idea, especially after hearing the commotion outside.

The match had begun.

The two of them shifted their gaze towards the combat platform outside the window, where they could clearly see the scene despite their less-than-ideal position.

The participant on the platform was Wang Wude, and his opponent, from the presence of his qi, was also a Peak Qi Refining stage cultivator. However, his opponent wielded an obviously mundane long sword, while Wang Wude fought barehanded, with a solemn expression on his face.

In the Qi Refining realm, the enhancement provided by a mundane Artifact was significant. Even a handy mundane Artifact could allow a Qi Refining cultivator to fight against someone of a higher level.

As everyone present had expected, despite being in the same realm, Wang Wude, who fought without a mundane Artifact, was gradually being pushed into a disadvantageous position by his opponent’s mundane long sword.

It seemed that Wang Wude knew that this was not sustainable, so he flipped his palm, and a black flintlock with reddish flame on it appeared in his hand. ‘Tn: The fire thing is like a skin in games’

As soon as the flintlock came out, the onlookers around them visibly got excited.

It was clear that many of them had come to see the special mundane Artifact produced by the Demon Artifact Pavilion, despite its infamous reputation.

Although there were many rumors about how terrible the Artifact was, many people still believed in what they saw, especially those who loved to join in the fun.

“Quick, look! It’s that special mundane Artifact! The Demon Artifact Pavilion officers finally used it!”

“At last! I thought I was going to waste my trip today!”

“Damn it! I can’t see it clearly. Why are there so many people here today? I can’t even squeeze my way in. I have to stay in this lousy teahouse.”

“Isn’t it always like this whenever something new and exciting appears in the Royal City? Besides, what does it matter if you criticize my teahouse? If you have the guts, go upstairs and switch places with the distinguished guests. Not to boast, but my teahouse is definitely the best place nearby to watch the sparring platform!”

The teahouse was also in turmoil.

While sitting leisurely in a private room, Luo Wusheng stroked his chin.

It seems that his plan is steadily progressing, but…

‘It’s still not enough.’

Refilling his tea cup that he had just finished, Luo Wusheng’s gaze flickered to the side as he pondered something.

The upcoming martial arts competition on the stage didn’t change much in reality.

Although Wang Wude used the fire flintlock, the power of that Artifact was only enough for Wang Wude to use it as a method of harassment against his opponent to annoy him. After several rounds of entanglement, Wang Wude still lost in the end.

The customers in the teahouse also commented, “It seems that the rumors are true.”

“Hey? Look, it seems like something has happened again!”

Suddenly, someone spoke up and drew the attention of everyone in the teahouse.

Luo Wusheng also raised an eyebrow and looked outside the window with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Just as Wang Wude had walked down from the Trial Martial Arena after his defeat, he was intercepted by a gorgeously dressed young woman.

Who is she?

Luo Wusheng frowned.

Could she be here to obstruct his plan? Have those outside forces finally realized something?

“Senior Brother, that woman seems to be a spy from the Six Gate Bureau.” Bai Xiaoyao, who had been paying attention to the changes on the Trial Martial Arena, spoke up.

“Hmm?”

“Her appearance just now went unnoticed by anyone. It’s a method of hiding her presence, and it’s similar to those who have been monitoring the Demon Artifact Pavilion.”

Hearing his Junior Sister’s explanation, Luo Wusheng fell into contemplation.

He knew that the Six Gate Bureau had been monitoring the Demon Artifact Pavilion, but he completely ignored their actions.

After all, he was in the capital and his identity was quite sensitive, so being under surveillance was inevitable. As long as the other party didn’t go too far, he would turn a blind eye to whatever they were doing.

Moreover, he had some connection with the Six Gate Bureau and their current communication was still friendly.

But why did the Six Gate Bureau spy look for Wang Wude?

Wasn’t the spy supposed to stay in the shadows and observe quietly?

As he was pondering, he noticed that the young woman had taken action again.

She leaped onto the trial platform and drew a Mortal-Grade short sword from her waist.

The short sword was covered with faint golden patterns.

“Taoist Marked Ordinary Artifact?” Luo Wusheng’s gaze narrowed at the short sword.

Bai Xiaoyao nodded lightly.

At this moment, the cultivator who had just defeated Wang Wude seemed to be forced to retreat like Wang Wude in the previous match.

In the end, he was completely suppressed when faced with the young woman, the battle ended much more faster than his match against Wang Wude

What was going on? Was she helping Wang Wude get revenge?

Luo Wusheng was a bit puzzled.

When did Wang Wude become acquainted with the Six Gate Bureau spy? And why would she be willing to help Wang Wude get revenge?

‘Wang Wude definitely doesn’t have any acquaintances in the capital, otherwise he would have gone to them when the Demon Artifact Pavilion was in dire straits— This young woman is obviously familiar with Wang Wude, and as for women who are familiar with Wang Wude, there aren’t that many, then that mean…’

She probably knows Wang Wude from the Red Light district!

It couldn’t be the Red Blossom Pavilion, since Wang Wude has only been going to that place for the last 2 days.

There was only one answer left.

[Fireworks], the brothel where he worked previously.

Thinking of this, Luo Wusheng’s gaze suddenly froze as he looked at the young woman in the gorgeous clothing.

Could this girl be the frequent customer of Wang Wude that the 3 officers often mentioned about?
