Chapter 147 Listening to Music in the Brothel! The Mother Tree of Pleasure! A Novice Succubus
Chapter 147 Listening to Music in the Brothel! The Mother Tree of Pleasure! A Novice Succubus (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In this world of beast tamers, apart from the perilous history before the early Star Age, numerous dynasties were born in the years that followed, and their cultural heritage was never interrupted. With the birth of the Alliance, the cultures of many great domains were integrated, forming the human community we know today.
Therefore, the meaning of the word "goulan" has remained largely the same in its past and present, referring to theaters or entertainment venues rather than simply places where people engage in prostitution.
Another explanation is that, according to Zhou Cheng's "casual" inquiry to a passerby, there is a shop run by a Hell Sheepman at the end of the road.
They are a unique monster race originating from the ecosystem of the succubus's nest. The males have human bodies and goat heads, while the females retain only some alien features, such as goat horns. Like the succubi, they cultivate their spirituality by absorbing vital energy.
These little sheep-people are gentle, have soft voices, like to hug customers, and have watery eyes, giving people the feeling of a non-human girlfriend.
As the ancients said, "Fish and mutton are the freshest delicacies. To savor the freshest things is to enjoy the pleasures of fish and water."
In fact, even in the Middle Ages, sheep were seen as a symbol of succubi, and people often blamed them for their misdeeds. Sailors would also take a sheep with them on voyages...
Recommendation rating: 3.5 stars.
In addition, there are spirit banshees, liquid slimes, and other monsters and pets born from desire and spirituality. If you can imagine it, you can find it here.
It may even be run by a family or couple. It sounds bizarre, but different races have different concepts and cannot be applied here. Unlike humans, in the cultural concepts of many other races, this is just an ordinary job, and at the same time, it can reproduce. Why not?
"They're concentrated at the end of Pleasure Street, in a place called Great Desire Alley, but it's not suitable for a kid like you. It's very dangerous there; one wrong move and they'll be sucking your marrow dry. As the saying goes, lust is a bone-scraping knife. Uncle Zhou is old and not afraid of death anymore, so let me go!"
Lu Yu looked at Zhou Cheng with disdain, and the little spider on his shoulder, though unable to understand, also showed a disgusted expression.
As for the rat... it hid in Lu Yu's shadow and raised its middle finger.
I have never seen such a shameless person!
"Do you think Uncle Zhou is trying to take advantage? No, actually many prostitutes or people in the sex trade probably worship deities like the Great Desire King or the Mother Tree of Pleasure who control desire. They believe that the body will decay and the soul will perish, but desire will last forever, and they hope to establish a paradise based on desire."
Zhou Cheng spoke with righteous indignation, his eyes glancing sideways at the various exotic beauties passing by, and said solemnly:
"If it were just worshipping the Mother Tree of Pleasure, that would be one thing; they probably just like to get a little thrilled. But the Great Lust King is different. He's one of the incarnations of the Faceless God worshipped by the Faceless Brotherhood. Danger is secondary; what you really don't know is what's under that skin, whether it's human or not..."
Even some gender-swapped witches aren't as bizarre as them. Witches are at least human, and they're not bad-tasting, but the Brotherhood of Faceless... are full of lunatics. They might have already mutated and become a pile of rotten flesh.
They have absolutely no professional ethics!
However, the purpose of this trip was to help Lu Yu relax, not to add pressure, so Zhou Cheng added:
"But you don't need to worry too much. Even the Faceless Brotherhood wouldn't dare cause trouble in Pleasure Street. And it seems that they've launched an event in Desire Alley. If you can last for three days and three nights, you don't have to pay."
Lu Yu rolled his eyes at this. For three consecutive days, even ordinary humans would be doomed, let alone those born from the spirituality of lust. They would likely be completely annihilated.
"Why isn't this guy making sarcastic remarks anymore...?"
Zhou Cheng had prepared a lot of excuses to deal with Lu Yu's teasing, but he didn't expect the other party to not ask any of them, which made him quite depressed.
Could it be that he simply doesn't believe he can do it?
Very insulting!
However, there are some conditions for going to the brothel, because the currency in the pleasure district is different from that in the outside world; it is something called sin coins.
He led Lu Yu to a special glass pavilion in the entertainment district, where a giant tentacle monster resembling a mountain of flesh was inside. Wearing a uniform hat, it was frantically typing on a keyboard, inputting customer data, using its dozen tentacles to create afterimages.
Although its face wasn't clearly visible, you could tell it had a sour look on its face, as if everyone owed it a million dollars.
It seems that regardless of race, everyone who goes to work is unhappy.
Upon seeing Lu Yu, it slightly raised its small eyes and spoke softly in the human language:
9000:1.
Nine thousand Alliance Points are needed to exchange for one Sinful Gold Coin, and the exchange rate will fluctuate with prices. This price truly lives up to its reputation as a money pit.
"Give me forty."
Zhou Cheng exchanged forty coins, and Lu Yu exchanged for one hundred coins. In fact, they even accepted card payments during the process. If it weren't for the connection with the alliance, Lu Yu would have eaten the rat.
Mouse: ? ? ?
Its hair stood on end. It had been lying in the shadows for a while, yet it still sensed the cultivator's appetite for it.
The Sinful Gold Coin looks similar to a regular gold coin, surrounded by a faint blood-red glow. Lu Yu glanced at it with his Eye of Truth and discovered that it was formed by highly compressed forces of various desires, blending filth and purity.
If there are enough of them, they can help monsters with negative attributes enhance their spirituality. They can be considered low-level extraordinary items, and they are indeed good as currency. There is no need to worry about the economic system collapsing.
After exchanging the money, Zhou Cheng took Lu Yu to a place called the Storm Opera House, a brothel featuring siren and mermaids. Its exterior resembled a giant golden seashell, shimmering with dazzling light.
At the entrance of the opera house stood six enormous shark-men, each over two zhang tall, with bulging muscles, holding tridents and guarding the entrance. Each of them had reached the level of spiritual transformation.
Moreover, there was an even more terrifying aura emanating from the seashell, revealing its profound depth.
Come to think of it, how could one open a shop on Huanle Street without some real strength?
The tickets weren't cheap, costing twenty gold coins per person. Lu Yu had originally wanted to help Zhou Cheng pay for them, but was refused.
Zhou Cheng said with a smile, "My stomach is soft; I only eat women's soft rice. Men are too hard for me."
Lu Yu didn't waste any time. The two entered the seashell and were greeted by the salty sea breeze and the echoing sound of the surging waves. Looking inside, they discovered that a beach and ocean had been created, with bright light and a pleasant temperature.
It must be said that the environment alone is refreshing and delightful.
The seats are individual beach chairs with parasols, all made of special seashells that can be shrunk or enlarged. There are already quite a few human beast tamers and aliens lounging there.
The arrival of Lu Yu and Zhou Cheng naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"This is... that [Burning Man] brother from the 15th Special Squad who just advanced to Morning Star, and the captain of the 16th Squad, nicknamed Sword Man, no, [Mirror Sword Demon] Zhou Cheng! The person next to him looks familiar, he seems to be that kid who's been quite popular on the border lately, named Lu Yu..."
"Heh, kid? He's known as the invincible one after spiritual transformation, not one of those geniuses with only potential. Be careful not to make him jealous."
"Spiritual transformation and the Golden Peak are completely different concepts. If I were to encounter one, without the help of that ruined puppet, I could crush him with a flick of my wrist."
"I've heard this guy is quite good at conquering secret realms; maybe I can invite him sometime."
"It's a pity this is an entertainment district; we can't fight here. Even if we leave, we'll just return to our original location, and who knows how far away that will be..."
"..."
Many people whispered among themselves, some out of curiosity, some out of disdain, and some out of goodwill, but malice was the majority.
"A human genius?"
Many members of the evil god cult and wanted evil beast tamers showed greedy expressions when they saw Lu Yu.
After all, this guy has no background, but plenty of resources, plus a fantastical artifact, and the resources he's gained from exploring numerous secret realms are definitely not all used up yet. Add to that those powerful pet beasts, and he's practically a walking treasure chest...
If I could pull off one big heist, I'd be rich overnight.
Lu Yu naturally sensed this malice as well. A number of these spiritual transformations were present, including some with Morning Star-level spiritual energy fluctuations, which frightened him. He couldn't help but whisper:
"Stop looking..."
Upon hearing this, a group of people couldn't help but sneer.
What border genius? He's just a lucky kid.
These flowers grown in greenhouses are so timid, completely incomparable to the monsters that fought their way out of the battlefield. I can try to use mental pressure to scare them into a mental breakdown later.
Just as they were plotting in their minds, Lu Yu gave a shy smile, scratched his head, and said:
"If I keep watching, I'll lose my temper and want to kill you all."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Passersby and onlookers alike looked astonished, thinking they had misheard.
That's insane!
It's infinitely crazier than it appears in the video!
Even Zhou Cheng was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Yu continue:
"Looks like you're not convinced. Today, Uncle Zhou and I are right here. The more opponents the better. We're invincible, so if you've got the guts, kill us!"
No, I didn't, I'm scared!
When you're showing off, can you please not drag me into it?
Zhou Cheng was completely dumbfounded. He knew that this involved more than just spiritual transformation; there were also Morning Star level beings.
If a fight really breaks out, he could very well be slapped to death!
"snort."
However, in response to the provocation, these guys just snorted and didn't take any further action.
Because...they really have no choice!
Making a move here is tantamount to offending Pleasure Street, and even those at the Morning Star or Radiant Moon levels cannot bear the consequences.
However, if Lu Yu leaves Pleasure Street and retreats to Dayuan City, protected by that legendary tower, going in would be tantamount to walking into a trap.
"Wait, it's not that there's no chance, there's also a small trade fair, this guy will definitely go..."
Most people didn't care, but some had some sinister thoughts and were preparing to use certain methods.
They wouldn't shout or curse like a shrew; that would only lower their status. The correct style is like a venomous snake hunting, waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
"Uncle Zhou, what a pity... If they had made a move, they could have made a fortune by leveraging the power of Pleasure Street. After all, Pleasure Street's third rule states that if the other party strikes first, Pleasure Street can receive 20% of their net worth as compensation after eliminating them..."
Lu Yu's regretful mutterings made many people's eyelids twitch, thinking that this guy was really quite insidious.
They've only been in Happy Street for a short time, yet they've already figured out all the rules and are trying to trick them into making a move.
It's not that I'm afraid of thugs with martial arts skills, it's that I'm afraid of thug
However, everyone was a seasoned veteran and wouldn't take the bait easily. They ignored the mockery and went off to admire the beauties.
"A bunch of cunning old bastards."
Lu Yu sneered. Since they already harbored ill intentions, there was no point in backing down; they would only push their luck further. It was better to confront them head-on from the start and show his strength.
Anyway, they wouldn't dare to make a move in the entertainment district. Even if it really happened offline, his strength had improved a lot during this time. He could easily use the Star Leaf to set up a trap, bury a group of people undergoing spiritual transformation, and make a fortune.
Even if you encounter a Morning Star level opponent and can't defeat them, you can run back to Dayuan City.
What will happen when I go out in the future?
Are you kidding me? Are the legendary-level shielding skills and the mouse's ever-changing power just for show?
He changes his identity every time he goes out, but if he's really pushed to the limit, he'll use the forbidden identity of the Collector to cause chaos on the entire border, and even induce people to divine the Key of Truth and summon the Ancient Shadow to descend.
"Thinking about it carefully, I'm not even a suicide truck anymore, I'm more like a self-destructing nuclear weapon, and that doesn't even include the possibility of becoming a world-destroying anomaly after death..."
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then found a place to sit down. Not long after lying down, a scent of the sea wafted towards him. Turning his head, he saw azure hair hanging down, like the deep blue sea reflected beside him.
Looking up, one sees a blue-haired mermaid girl, her body covered only by seashells, looking alluring and captivating.
It has to be said that the girls in brothels are all scantily clad and very attractive.
The seashell is so white... The only downside is that it's inexplicably sturdy; I can't shake it off no matter how long I try.
Sometimes, having such high quality is a mistake!
"Dear guest, would you like some Glowing Seaweed Juice, Storm Spirit Water, etc."
The mermaid girl's sweet voice rang out, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at Lu Yu. She could tell from the atmosphere just now that Lu Yu's identity was extraordinary.
To stand against a group of powerful individuals by oneself is something not everyone dares to do, especially at such a young age; one is clearly a genius of the human race.
And the monsters worship the strong the most!
Not to mention, Lu Yu is also very handsome, which fits the aesthetic of most humanoid monsters.
"I'll have a glass of Glowing Seaweed Juice." Lu Yu nodded, ignoring the mermaid girl's flirtatious glances.
It's not that I can't tell, but he's a mermaid. Although his lower body is a fish, which is slightly better than a fish head and human body, he still doesn't have much of a chance to play the dragon and frolic. He doesn't want to be Xu Xian.
Most importantly, the fish's teeth are all sharp, truly capable of scraping three feet into the ground! This calm attitude made the mermaid girl somewhat disappointed.
Looking at the dejected mermaid girl, Zhou Cheng ordered a cup of Storm Spirit Water.
The Glowing Seaweed Juice is brewed using Glowing Seaweed from the depths of the ocean. It shimmers with a faint glow and has a refreshing taste. Taking a sip is like being in the ocean, listening to the sound of the tide.
As for the Storm Spirit Water, it is a small cloud of storm mist. It is cool and refreshing when you drink it, similar to coconut juice, but you will feel tiny arcs of electricity jumping around on your tongue, which is quite interesting.
Whoohoo!
The two chatted for a while when suddenly the light dimmed, the air currents accelerated, a gale arose, dark clouds appeared overhead, and the waves surged in the distance, as if a storm was approaching.
A beam of light descended from the sky and fell into the sea, illuminating the entire ocean.
Only then did everyone realize that there were seven scantily clad sirens in the water, with thin fins like fish for ears and fish-like tails. They sat on the edge of a slowly rising golden seashell and began to sing.
"No ship can sail past the beautiful island of Sirens..."
"Unless the helmsman listens to our beautiful song..."
"Beautiful songs bring you joy and wisdom...accompanying you on your safe voyage..."
"..."
The beautiful singing voice made the storm even more violent, with lightning flashing and waves surging, as if a tsunami had arrived.
The sirens sing among them, and even swim in the water, conquering the natural disasters that are the embodiment of nature.
Beyond its bravery and beauty, it also possesses the physical form of a siren, showcasing the beauty of desire and power.
Their singing resonated with the spiritual, spreading out as invisible ripples that soothed everyone's spirit, erasing all restlessness and healing the soul.
This is similar to the talent shows of courtesans in the brothels of the past, only with stronger skills and higher prices.
"good!"
Even Lu Yu felt the effect of the song, which swept over his body, gradually clearing away the restlessness that had accumulated in his soul during this period, making it more stable and smoother.
If a Beastmaster has a Storm Spirit Puzzle, they can even take the opportunity to learn some Storm traits and create a few combo skills.
No wonder a single ticket costs nearly 200,000 yuan; it's definitely worth the price.
The only pity is that the siren's song can only soothe the soul and cannot enhance spiritual growth, otherwise one could take the opportunity to condense golden spirituality.
Throughout this process, mermaid girls continuously provide services, which is indeed the pleasure of the wealthy.
The others were also enjoying the performance, and some even had a wild exchange, turning the audience into a performance as well.
The Storm Opera lasted about half an hour before it ended. The sirens bowed and then leaped into the water and disappeared. The mermaids who served Lu Yu also left reluctantly.
"The brothels in the entertainment district were indeed of good quality, but it's a pity the time was too short..."
Zhou Cheng sighed, still feeling a bit unsatisfied. Lu Yu nodded in agreement, and then left the Storm Opera House.
The next stop was a fish-man massage parlor, which Zhou Cheng originally recommended to help eliminate the hidden injuries from the pets' high-intensity training, otherwise it would easily affect the pets' potential.
"never mind."
Lu Yu thought for a moment and then declined. After all, he and his pets were training in the Nightmare Prison, and they were already able to get some feedback.
Therefore, the hidden injuries from training were negligible, but for the two monarch-level cubs, it was nothing, and they recovered in the blink of an eye.
However, there was still some time before the mini-trade fair, so Lu Yu suggested that since they were already there, they should go and critique a special massage parlor, preferably one with succubi, to fulfill his dream that had been shattered by Lilith, the succubus in the big wooden cabinet.
It's not that I want to do anything, I'm just curious about the local customs and culture, and succubi are also known for their ability to soothe the mind.
"Succubi... Since decades ago, most of them have returned to the succubus's lair, and the number of succubi left outside has indeed decreased a lot. However, I just bought a guidebook and saw that there is indeed a succubus massage parlor in it, right in the Great Desire Alley."
Zhou Cheng was also somewhat tempted. After all, it was to witness the customs and traditions of different races, so it shouldn't be a problem to go and take a look.
The two exchanged a glance and left without hesitation. To avoid the embarrassment of not having enough money, Lu Yu even went to exchange for another hundred sinful gold coins.
They traveled all the way to Da Yu Lane, where the style was indeed completely different, exuding a strong sense of worldly affairs, which made Lu Yu not only criticize the decline of morality in the world.
There are Jorogumo, who is half-human and half-spider; there are snake people; there are lizard people covered in scales...
The art style is unique.
However, Lu Yu always had a strange feeling in his heart, as if there was a sense of separation between Pleasure Street and Desire Alley.
Although the arrangement of the houses is reasonable, the latter inexplicably gives people the feeling that they are crawling and piling up.
"No! I really don't want it anymore!"
A gaunt, tiger-headed beastman staggered out from the depths of the alley, his eyes sunken and his expression panicked.
It gazed at the distant entertainment district, a hint of longing appearing on its face. Just as it was about to go out, it was suddenly swarmed by a large number of pink butterflies. Beside it emerged several alluring women draped in thin veils, their faces covered by white cloths, obscuring their true appearance.
"No...no!!!"
The tiger-headed beastman looked at the beauties with a terrified expression. As he watched himself being lifted up, he let out a mournful howl and dragged away.
One of the women leaned slightly towards the other customers and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, this customer owes a lot of money and wants to dine and dash, so he needs to undergo the 'pleasure torture' before being released."
After speaking, they showed a loving expression, embraced the tiger-headed beastman, and turned to leave, pink butterflies fluttering around them, dazzling and mysterious.
The group of people looked at each other, unsure whether to feel envy or pity.
After all, the punishment of pleasure is a kind of pain mixed with pleasure; in short:
If you're a man, you'll pass 100 tests!
If you pass, it's all wiped clean; if you fail... it's all wiped clean as well.
Zhou Cheng watched their departing figures and said with a solemn expression, "These women are from the Pleasure Cult, and they worship the Pleasure Mother Tree. They are also the law enforcement team of Pleasure Street and are known as the Children of Pleasure or the Holy Maidens of Bliss. They are a very dangerous group, but as long as you don't provoke them, nothing will happen to you."
Lu Yu nodded, watching their retreating figures, lost in thought, because the first thing he saw when he activated his Eye of Truth was something different.
Those pink butterflies were actually roots that spread out from the ground and connected to them.
As for the white cloth, it possessed a special power that blocked his investigation and gave him a sense of danger.
It seems to conceal some indescribable terrifying aspect.
"The Holy Maiden of Bliss...?"
Thinking of this, Lu Yu glanced at the rooftop in the distance. A purple cursed raven flapped its wings and took flight, while a shimmering spider leaped out from under its feet and disappeared without a sound.
Then, they arrived at a succubus shop with a pink sign. The proprietress was a succubus herself, with long pink hair cascading to the ground, exuding natural allure. She had winding horns on her head, her wings folded behind her, and her heart-shaped tail swaying casually. As for her clothes…
What use is that thing to a succubus? She can only cover herself with her hair.
Just standing there can evoke a person's reproductive instincts.
When the proprietress saw the two of them, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, especially Lu Yu's appearance, which had exceeded her expectations.
Even if one cannot detect the spiritual essence, it is certain that if one can devour its essence, it will definitely be of high quality.
Even if I don't pay her, I'd be willing to pay her out of my own pocket!
However, just as she was about to get closer, she suddenly smelled a familiar yet terrifying odor on Lu Yu.
Like a mark on a wild beast, it proves that it belongs to it.
"This scent...is it a pureblood succubus? No, that's not right, it has to be something more magnificent, this is royalty! This human has been marked by royalty!"
The succubus boss looked terrified. Among the demons of the abyss, there was a clear hierarchy. Even as a succubus with a slightly higher bloodline concentration, she dared not offend a pure-blooded succubus, for she would be devoured if she was not careful. Let alone a succubus queen.
That is the bloodline of a true king, the progenitor of succubi. If she touches this human in front of her, she will be driven out by the entire succubus race, or even hunted to death by the mothers of the tribe.
So she quickly made a decision: just as Lu Yu and the others were about to approach, she closed the shop and put up a sign saying "No Service".
Men may be good, but your own life is more important!
Thinking of this, she looked at the glass, her eyes filled with pity as she looked at Lu Yu.
Humans targeted by the succubus royal family will be thoroughly exploited and ultimately abandoned without mercy.
However, she was unaware that two of the current succubus queens were now disgraceful to the succubi.
As for the last one, Crimson Moon Dawn, whom Lilith regarded as the hope for succubi, she has not yet returned.
"What happened?"
Lu Yu and Zhou Cheng looked at each other in bewilderment. Everything was fine just now, so why did it suddenly close down?
But all they wanted was proper emotional support and comfort. What's there to be embarrassed about? Aren't they good people?
Or is it just that there are too many people?
Where did this noob succubus come from?
What a disgrace to the succubus race!
The two complained for a bit, then moved on to the next "proper" shop, which featured an eight-armed female giant, a full ten meters tall, who said with a shy expression:
"This place is legitimate..."
Lu Yu and Zhou Cheng looked at the fist that could kill them with a single blow, then turned and left.
Suddenly I realized... they weren't so serious after all.
It's fine if it's not formal!
Besides that, there's another shop that's run by a human, and its decor is quite interesting.
The man said to the two of them:
"You all have excellent taste. I'm different from other women..."
How arrogant! He must have real skills!
Zhou Cheng also became interested, skillfully took the little hand, showed it to the landlady to read her palm, and then asked in a deep, magnetic voice:
"What's the difference?"
The man smiled gently and said:
"I'm a man!"
"..."
In the end, the two did not continue their search. Although there might be some deep in the Great Desire Alley, it wasn't because they had been attacked three times in a row, but because as respectable people, they despised such despicable behavior and went to the black market instead.
Similar to the black market in Da Yuan City, the black market in the Pleasure Street is more upscale and has a wider variety of goods. However, there aren't many Morning Star tier materials, and most of them are priced exorbitantly. It seems that you still have to go to the Mutual Aid Trade Fair to find good stuff.
However, there were still gains. Lu Yu bought a lot of suitable auxiliary materials and also purchased five catties of Netherworld Soil from the Netherworld Church, spending nearly four million Sinful Gold Coins.
However, just as Lu Yu was about to leave, Little Spider grabbed him and they both looked at a peculiar stall...
