Chapter 23: Only Touch, Not Sleep

Silently watching Qin Lang, Hua Manlou narrowed his eyes and spoke softly, “Brother Qin, aren’t you being a bit greedy?”

Seated on a cushion with two beauties in his arms, Qin Lang seemed utterly unconcerned. “Brother Hua, you can’t say that. Since you two were hesitating, I had no choice but to sacrifice myself and step up first.”

Hua Manlou: “…”

Tian Hui: “…”

Lin Xian: “…”

Sacrifice himself? Good heavens, they had never seen someone so shameless.

Qin Lang had already surpassed the boundaries of shamelessness, reaching a level unattainable by anyone else!

His mouth was not only eloquent but also especially skilled at justifying himself.

Sitting on the cushion, Qin Lang felt he was in paradise—a taste of heaven and a torment of hell all at once.

Suddenly, sensing something unusual from the women beside him, Qin Lang narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Lin Xian. “Sister Xian, these two little fairies have a rather unique scent about them. Could it be that they are...?”

“Oh?” Lin Xian’s face changed, her smile fading as she gazed intently at Qin Lang. “Young Master Qin, I hadn’t expected you to have such a keen eye. I’m impressed.”

Though Qin Lang didn’t finish his sentence, she could more or less guess what he meant.

Upon hearing this, Hua Manlou and Tian Hui both narrowed their eyes, glancing at the women before them. Without a word, they quickly stood from their cushions and each chose two girls.

Seeing the shy faces of the beauties and exchanging glances, the two men felt as if they had struck gold...

Qin Lang replied with modesty, shaking his head lightly. “Sister Xian, you flatter me. I just happen to have a sensitive nose.”

“But speaking of which, I’ve only just arrived, and Sister Xian already found such lovely companions to share a drink with us. Isn’t this too generous?”

Lin Xian laughed heartily, unconcerned. “Young Master Qin, you are an honored guest, here with Young Master Hua. How could I possibly neglect you?”

Since she didn’t wish to explain further, Qin Lang didn’t press the matter. “Since Sister Xian is so gracious, I shall accept your kindness and slowly enjoy the beauties you’ve sent.”

Admiring the two women before him, Qin Lang silently gave a thumbs up in his heart—their unadorned faces were divine.

The feeling was simply exquisite!

Of course, this was all just fantasy for Qin Lang.

The two women made no move to stop him, allowing him to act as he pleased.

“If you three gentlemen are enjoying yourselves, then I shall leave you to it. Should you need anything, just have someone summon me,” Lin Xian said casually, then turned and left.

Turning to the graceful, well-endowed woman beside him, Qin Lang flashed a roguish smile. “My beauty, you’re so lovely—”

He hadn’t finished before he wished he could indulge in the world’s temptations…

A sin, truly a sin!

The world was indeed too seductive.

But, thinking that this place was too open, Qin Lang dismissed such thoughts. As an upright man, how could he behave so brazenly in public? If he truly wanted to do anything, it should be in a secluded alley...

The beautiful woman merely smiled, embracing Qin Lang’s left arm. It was a sight to behold, and he basked in the enjoyment, a faint smile on her lips.

Leaning on his arm, the enchanting woman raised her lips slightly. “How could I compare to you, Young Master? I am hardly remarkable.”

Qin Lang was indeed a handsome man!

“Sigh!” Qin Lang shook his head, lips curling up. “No, your beauty is a test of every man’s willpower!”

Before the woman could reply, the slightly plump one beside her murmured, “Young Master, you seem unfamiliar here. Is this your first time?”

Qin Lang smiled faintly, a wicked grin appearing. “Does it matter? No matter how many times I come, sharing a drink with two beauties is the joy of life.”

...

A belch sounded.

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Tian Hui looked at the others and smiled. “Brothers, I’ll stop drinking here. I’ll spend a moment of spring with these two beauties. We can drink more another day.”

Seeing the tipsy Tian Hui, eager for his night of passion, Qin Lang understood immediately. “Since Brother Tian has business to attend to, we won’t disturb your enjoyment. But if you find yourself overwhelmed, I have some Strength Pills here.”

Tian Hui laughed heartily, confident and at ease. “Brother Qin, you underestimate me! With this body, even seven or eight beauties would be no problem.”

Hua Manlou said, “Since Brother Tian is so bold, we won’t keep you.”

“Farewell.”

With that, Tian Hui, half-drunk, hugged his two beauties and headed upstairs, ready to indulge in pleasure.

The first and second floors of Misty Rain Pavilion were for drinking with courtesans.

As for the third floor and above, every man knew what those were for...

After Tian Hui left, Hua Manlou, holding two women, looked at Qin Lang with curiosity. “Brother Qin, how is it that your tolerance for wine is so great, even better than mine?”

For a mere mortal to outdrink even him, a cultivator, was more than puzzling.

The other four women were equally perplexed, especially Xiaomei and Xiaoxi beside Qin Lang, who were even more astonished.

They thought themselves good drinkers, but compared to Qin Lang, they couldn’t compete and readily admitted defeat.

“Ah!”

Draining his cup, Qin Lang laughed. “Brother Hua, have you forgotten where I’m from?”

At this, Hua Manlou suddenly understood.

Qin Lang was the famed executioner of the Heavenly Prison, with over three years in the profession and more than a thousand immortal criminals executed.

Every day, he would drink a bowl of wine before sending the condemned on their way.

Over time, he naturally developed a formidable capacity for liquor.

Hua Manlou burst out laughing and raised his cup. “It’s my mistake, my mistake. I’ll drink a cup as punishment.”

Yet, their actions did not escape the eyes of those hidden in the shadows, who quickly reported everything.

Some hidden observers were transformed demons, others were secret guards of the Li family...

Looking at the beauties beside him, Qin Lang felt restless and eager, longing to take them upstairs and indulge in pleasure.

But Liu Man had warned them—they were only to drink here and not to touch the women, and certainly not to spend the night with them. This left Qin Lang speechless.

With beauties in his arms but unable to enjoy them, all he could do was chat and laugh, discussing grand matters of life...

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Qin Lang muttered inwardly, “Damn it, this is truly unbearable. With such beauties beside me but unable to share a pillow, isn’t this pure torment?”
