I Truly Am The Villian-Chapter 946 - 945 Brothel, The Final Move
Upon hearing Ji Ruobing’s words, Xu Zimei’s expression changed, as if he had thought of something.
"We’ve been tricked," he said to Ji Ruobing.
Seeing that Ji Ruobing still looked puzzled, this was not the place for explanations.
"Kill," suddenly a green monster shouted, charging at Xu Zimei along with the other creatures.
"If you want to worship the Mountain God, then continue, why the need for such violence," Xu Zimei said, throwing a punch.
"You all deserve to die! Worship is not something to be taken lightly," the monster yelled angrily.
"How many materials did my clan prepare for this ceremony? Now all is ruined. Are you going to compensate for the materials?"
Realizing it was pointless to argue, Xu Zimei had no desire to entangle further.

"Let’s leave this place first," he suggested to Ji Ruobing.
Ji Ruobing nodded slightly.
With a swing of his ancient sword in his right hand, a Heaven Shaking Sword Intent fell between them, creating a chasm that forced the creatures back.
By the time the Sword Intent had dissipated, their figures had vanished without a trace.
"You’ve disrupted our clan’s ceremony, wait for our clan’s pursuit," the creatures’ indignant roars echoed from behind.
...
Walking along a street which was still somewhat bustling,
When Xu Zimei returned to the spot where the Chaos stall had been, the stall owner was long gone, and the town appeared as if it had never had a visitor.
"What exactly is going on?" Ji Ruobing asked, looking at Xu Zimei.
"It’s ridiculous that the person we’re looking for is right before our eyes, and we didn’t even realize," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"Right before our eyes?" Ji Ruobing paused for a moment.
Then she quickly realized, "Was that stall owner the Form Blood Beast?"
"There’s no other explanation," Xu Zimei replied indifferently.
"But why? I don’t understand the meaning behind his deception."
"The city of Destruction is chaotic enough as it is, and it wants to stir the waters even muddier," Xu Zimei explained.
"Drag us down with it," Ji Ruobing said.
"Not just us," Xu Zimei shook his head.
"We killed Qin Luo, who was the illegitimate son of the Moon Shadow Clan Leader.
The Moon Shadow Clan won’t let this go.
Then there’s the disruption of the Mountain God Tribe’s ceremony.
See, back and forth, it drags both the Moon Shadow Clan and the Mountain God Tribe into the mess."
"I understand," Ji Ruobing nodded slightly.
"The city of Destruction is chaotic now, but everyone’s target is clear.
They’ve come responding to the call of the Destruction Lord to find the Form Blood Beast.
It’s trying to divert others’ attention."
Xu Zimei nodded.
"So, what do we do now?" Ji Ruobing asked.
"These animals even deceived me, which is quite interesting," Xu Zimei said.
"Let’s find that guy first."
"How?" Ji Ruobing asked again.
"As far as I know, the Form Blood Beast is best at changing its appearance. Now it’s a man, but perhaps the next time we meet it’ll be a woman."
"Which place in the city of Destruction has the most people?" Xu Zimei asked aloud.
Ji Ruobing fell silent for a bit, finally saying with a flushed face, "The brothel."
"That I had forgotten," Xu Zimei said.
"Then let’s go to the brothel."
"Are you trying to try your luck again?" Ji Ruobing inquired.
"Not really, I just genuinely want to go," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"Shameless," Ji Ruobing uttered coldly.
"If you want to go, then you go, but I certainly won’t."
"I’m not asking you to go, you just help me with something," Xu Zimei said.
"What’s the matter?" Ji Ruobing looked up, her eyes bright with inquiry.
"Waiting for rabbits," Xu Zimei smiled.
Then he whispered in her ear for a while.
After he finished, Ji Ruobing expressed her concerns, "Wouldn’t this be too dangerous?"
"I’m not even afraid of the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect, let alone a City of Destruction," Xu Zimei waved his hand dismissively.
"This is the only solution right now, and it’s also the most feasible method."
"Alright, then take care," Ji Ruobing thought for a moment and could only nod.
"If anything really happens, don’t push yourself too hard."
"Are you showing concern for me?" Xu Zimei chuckled.
"I’m worried you’ll drag me down," Ji Ruobing huffed and then left.
..........
After parting with Ji Ruobing, Xu Zimei found the largest brothel in this City of Destruction.
Here, brothels are considered the most profitable businesses.
Of course, no one dares to run a brothel here without some real strength.
Compared to other places, the area around this brothel seemed much more bustling.
"Sir, please come in quickly, our girls are beautiful and affordable, you will surely be satisfied."
"Oh my, Mr. Hu, you actually have time today? Are three girls enough?"
The flamboyantly dressed madam stood at the entrance, inviting every passerby inside.
Seeing Xu Zimei enter, her eyes lit up immediately.
"This gentleman is a new face, right? Come in and try, I guarantee you’ll relish the taste and find it hard to leave."
Xu Zimei walked in with a smile.
"Do you prefer elegance or vulgarity?" the madam asked with a smile beside him.
"What is elegance, and what is vulgarity?" Xu Zimei asked curiously.
"Elegance means the girls only sell their art, not their bodies, and everything depends on the girls’ willingness.
If the gentleman is capable, he may indeed please the ladies.
As for vulgarity, I need not say more, the gentleman can have whatever he desires," the madam explained with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Let’s choose elegance then, I’m somewhat of a clean freak," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"Then, sir, follow me," the madam said, and then led Xu Zimei down a hallway to the left.
Past the hallway, the view opened up ahead.
It turned out to be a Peony Garden.
White peonies and pink peonies were competing in splendor.
A wondrous fragrance drifted from the heart of the flowers, refreshing the mind and spirit.
"We have four areas for elegance here: Peony Garden, Plum Garden, Bamboo Grove, and Zither Room.
The gentleman is free to wander. Whether you attract the ladies here is up to you," the madam explained.
Hearing her explanation, Xu Zimei waved his hand with a smile, indicating that she should leave.
He then stepped into the Peony Garden.
Around five minutes later, the lively noise from the left stirred his interest.
"The best flower in this Peony Garden should be ’Drunken Beauty.’
This is the nation’s beauty and the king amongst flowers."
"To me, it should be the finest among the white peonies, ’White Immortal.’
This one stands proud and aloof, severe in frost, truly the supreme flower monarch, one to be admired from a distance but not to be frivolously disrespected."
"Miss Xiao, could you judge which of the two flowers is the most beautiful?"
The crowd was gathered together, apparently arguing about several of the flowers.
Xu Zimei found the sight amusing. Did these people come to the brothel just to admire the flowers?
But then he thought about it, even the brothel has its dichotomy of elegance and vulgarity.
After all, some women sell art and not their bodies, thus they might just be artists, performers.
"Why argue, sirs? There are as many flowers in the eyes of the beholders as there are people. If you like them, that’s good; why bother about the opinions of others," a pleasing voice came from within the crowd.
