Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 410 - 225: Wang Xiu: I Know Wang Xiu’s Movements, Exchange Your Treasures for It! (8100 words)_4
[Chilling at the Brothel with No Plans Today]: "No plans today, so it’s off to the brothel for some music! A new group of ’Buddha Beauties’ has just arrived from the Western Regions. They have excellent meditative skills and are brimming with exotic charm. You’ve all seen plenty of Heavenly Immortals, but have you ever tried a living Bodhisattva? Free unlimited fun for anyone who can provide verified information on Wang Xiu!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone nearby boasting. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana +88!]
... Wang Xiu’s mouth twitched slightly. Another one? The Enchantress from the Hehuan Sect wants information on me too? Am I being jointly hunted by all the Demon Cultivators?
***
Just then, [Chilling at the Brothel with No Plans Today] sent Wang Xiu a private message.
"Darling! Where have you been these days? You haven’t come to play with me at all. I’ve missed you to death~ Do you have any news on Wang Xiu? If you do, remember to tell me. For the sake of our connection, besides the initial free session, there are other surprises in store for you~"
Halt! Damn Enchantress, how dare you disturb my Dao Heart? Wang Xiu was stalwart and looked down on such flirtatious vixens. She’s so theatrical, obviously trying to run a scam. The free offer is the only interesting part!
Originally, Wang Xiu hadn’t planned to reply. But on second thought... that enchantress from the Hehuan Sect, with her saucy attitude, would be a perfect point of entry.
So, he imitated Daimon Qianmian’s tone and replied, "My sizzling seashell, I’ve missed you too! As you know, some stuff went down at the Ghost King Sect, so I went to lay low for a while. I just got back... What’s going on? Who is this Wang Xiu? I see a lot of people asking for information on him."
Chilling at the Brothel with No Plans Today: "No wonder! You don’t even know who Wang Xiu is? He’s that disciple from Sanqing. I heard he killed a whole bunch of the Demon Race in Vermilion Bird City. He’s all the rage right now, being called the number one prodigy of Nanzhou’s younger generation! Some big shot is offering a hefty reward for any information related to Wang Xiu. They’re being very generous!"
Wang Xiu: "Which big shot?"
Chilling at the Brothel with No Plans Today: "Where else? From the Demon Realm, of course..."
Wang Xiu: "Then your Hehuan Sect is about to take off, with a big shot from the Demon Realm backing you!"
Chilling at the Brothel with No Plans Today: "Take off, my ass! I haven’t seen anything impressive about them. They just skulk around. They are horny as hell, though. Lately, they’ve been proactively taking on clients at the shop, over a hundred a day without complaint. Quite a few have died right in bed! Now the clients are all scared off and don’t dare to come anymore. They’ve ruined our business!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Wang Xiu: "Could they be... the legendary Charming Demons?"
Chilling at the Brothel with No Plans Today: "What, are you interested too?"
Wang Xiu: "Of course not! I’m not that kind of person!"
Chilling at the Brothel with No Plans Today: "Cut the crap. I know you men. You all have that reckless fantasy, thinking you can conquer every woman, but you’re usually the ones who end up squeezed dry!
"Besides, this isn’t a woman we’re talking about, it’s a Charming Demon! I advise you not to get involved... Of course, if you really want to try, I won’t stop you. Just come straight to my place.
"But if you get drained dry, don’t say I didn’t warn you."
Wang Xiu: "Don’t worry, my heart only has room for you, not them! But speaking of which, from what you’re saying, doesn’t that mean the current situation is rather unstable?"
Chilling at the Brothel with No Plans Today: "You can say that again. I’ve heard the Black Heaven Sect, the Profound Nether Sect, and the White Bone Sect all have big shots from the Demon Realm who have arrived. They’re plotting something, and there’s no telling when they’ll make a move... Of course, their first order of business is definitely to get rid of that Wang Xiu!"
Wang Xiu was speechless.

He chatted with the Hehuan Sect Enchantress for a while longer, getting most of the information he was after. Wang Xiu then ended the communication, but not before promising he would be sure to pay her a visit soon.
The key pieces of information he gathered were roughly as follows.
First, the members of the Demon Race hidden within the various demonic sects were not united; they belonged to different factions. They all wanted information on Wang Xiu, but for now, they had no intention of joining forces. Each faction wanted to obtain all the information on him before the others, preferably his latest plans, such as... whether or not he planned to leave the mountain.
Second, these members of the Demon Race were generally very powerful and numerous, with their strength likely being no weaker than a Golden Core Cultivator’s. Their leaders were Great Demons comparable in power to a Great Ability of the Emergence Stage. Furthermore, their combat prowess was often much stronger than that of a Human Race cultivator at the same realm. At least, that was the case for the ones in the Hehuan Sect. So far, there was no news of a Demon Race lord powerful enough to rival a Saint Manifestation expert. Of course, this wasn’t certain; the Hehuan Sect Enchantress might not have told him everything.
Third, they were truly generous.
It was said that a female cultivator within the Hehuan Sect had contributed a flawless, high-definition portrait of Wang Xiu from every possible angle. In return, she was rewarded with three drops of Extreme Charm Blood Essence! For female cultivators practicing Charming Skills, such a treasure was invaluable. Rumor had it that this substance could only be produced in the Demon Realm; its output in the Cangyuan Realm was minuscule, found only in certain forbidden zones saturated with Demonic Qi. Even a single drop was incredibly difficult to find.
Of course, they didn’t reward just any piece of information. Anything that was obviously fake or had already been reported was worthless. Only the first person to provide accurate intelligence would receive a substantial reward.
How could these escapees be carrying so many treasures? Wang Xiu was skeptical. He seriously suspected that these members of the Demon Race had a way to connect with the small world within Demon Sea Island. Even if the demons can’t travel between the island and the outside world, they must have a way to send out messages and treasures! Otherwise, the current situation makes no sense.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiu had a sudden idea. He took out his Communication Token and sent a message to the female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect, "If, and I’m just saying if, I knew where Wang Xiu might be going in the next few days... how much would you give me?"
The message had barely been sent when the Communication Token began to vibrate intensely, at a frequency faster than Teacher Eagle’s fingers.
