Chapter 440: Chapter 252 Men Can’t Bear
April 15th, on this night, the full moon hung high in the sky.
Inside Tianyue Workshop, Feiyin Pavilion bustled unusually.
Due to Lingxian Pavilion’s Xian Yin being assassinated by an assassin during the first month, Lingxian Pavilion’s reputation gradually fell short of Feiyin Pavilion.
At this time, Feiyin Pavilion leveraged its fiery beauties’ offensive to attract a large number of patrons.
After all, many people who went to the not-so-fleshy Lingxian Pavilion did so for Courtesan Xian Yin. Now that Xian Yin had died, Lingxian Pavilion’s claim to "fairy" naturally became a misnomer.
Under these circumstances, those seeking pleasure naturally leaned more towards the meatier entertainments of Feiyin Pavilion.
However, despite Feiyin Pavilion’s usual liveliness, it hardly matched the grandeur of tonight.
The reason being that generals from the Northern Zhou Court had come to the Divine Capital to report their duties in recent days. These men, accustomed to army life, were generals with special privileges—not like those soldiers who would think a sow resembled Diaochan—but faced with the unique pleasure grounds of Tianyue Workshop in the Divine Capital, how could they not taste its flavors?
Therefore, tonight inside Feiyin Pavilion, not to say that all seats were filled with military men, but there were certainly a good number of generals present.
For example, there were generals like Yang from the border fort Yángbān City and Lin from Linchong Pass...
Faced with these rugged military men, the brothel owner of Feiyin Pavilion naturally went to great lengths to entertain them and satisfy their needs.
Otherwise, if any of these quick-to-fight military folks were dissatisfied, smashing up Feiyin Pavilion would result in significant losses.
On the central stage of Feiyin Pavilion, five graceful dancing girls—clad in pure white garments, their black hair like ink, and their painted fans fluttering—danced with a beauty unlike the past, as if they were water nymphs stepping out from a dream.
The ring-shaped central stage of Feiyin Pavilion was built in the open air, and tonight’s bright moonlight fell straight from the night sky, making the stage resemble the Moon Palace.
In this stage akin to the vast cold of celestial realms, the five ladies danced nimbly, now lifting their wrists and lowering their eyes, now stretching out their hands gracefully, snapping their fans shut and wielding them like drawing dragons and painting in brilliant colors, their sleeves creating a breeze, both elegant and lithe.
"Excellent!"
"Excellent!"
······
The generals watching the dance shouted excitedly, their claps reverberating as loud as thunderous drums.
Although they were rough men from the military, they might not fully appreciate the extraordinary charm, but as long as they found it beautiful, that was enough.
Not understanding the nuance of beauty didn’t mean they were blind.
At least many generals suggested that the dancers in the grand banquets of the Imperial Palace were of this caliber.
And among this group of rugged generals, there were also quite a few who were well-versed in both letters and martial arts. The Mountain River Academy of the Confucian school was located in Northern Zhou, and many military Confucian Generals were former students of the academy.
So, there were quite a number of people who understood beauty, like General Yang Xianru from the border fort Yángbān City.
With "Confucian" included in his name, Yang Xianru was naturally a top-tier scholar who had also attended Mountain River Academy. Although he hadn’t cultivated the "Vast Righteous Qi" due to his temperament, his knowledge was certainly not lacking.
Yet, even such a learned scholar couldn’t help but watch the white-garbed dancing girls, who showed a different charm from the previous sultry dancers, without blinking an eye.
It was hard to find attractive ladies at the border, making it excruciatingly difficult. Over time, it made this former academy student develop a tendency towards a more urgent desire.
Just then, the music quickened, and a song and dance approached its climax; the white-clad dancing girls on stage let go of their colorful fans and shook out white silks from their sleeves, dancing even more charmingly.
Suddenly, five dancing girls simultaneously leaped into the air, their white silks fluttering as if they were fairies from the Moon Palace. In that instant of blooming beauty, General Yang Xianru helplessly drew near, deeply intoxicated.
As General Yang Xianru reveled in the moment, he completely let down his guard, unaware that he was being wound by the white silks.
"General Yang!" cried a few who hadn’t been bewitched, shouting loudly.
But it was too late.
"Crack, snap—"
The sound of breaking bones was incessant; the white silk that seemed fragile enough to break with a pull became lethal weapons in the hands of these five dancers.
With a concerted effort, the preoccupied Yang Xianru stood no chance; his body was twisted by the five strands of white silk, shattering his bones and killing him on the spot.
"General Yang!"
The death of Yang Xianru jolted everyone to their senses. Yet they felt as if they were still in a dream.
Because General Yang Xianru, considered a skilled Martial Artist among the generals, had just been so easily slain.
After serving many years at the border, not to claim a survival from a hundred battles, but having experienced his fair share of wars, General Yang Xianru met his demise in the Feiyin Pavilion, a place of music and flowers. It was a situation steeped in irony.
However, despite the shock, they had not forgotten about the five assassins who suddenly struck down Yang Xianru.
"Absolutely audacious, to dare attack in front of us..."
"Seeking death!"
...
The melodious sounds of music and dance ceased, and the entire Feiyin Pavilion was filled with a murderous aura of clashing swords and armor, as if the environment had abruptly transformed into a battlefield.
These generals, seasoned in battle, collectively produced a Killing Intent not to be taken lightly!
And the subsequent changes incensed the generals even more.
Suddenly, the stage flipped, and the five dancing girls fell into a fleeting hole and disappeared from the platform.
At the same time, the bluestone floor surrounding the stage exploded, and more than ten black-clothed men wearing black iron masks, wielding longswords wrapped in black Mutated Killing Intent, leapt out. Dark sword light emerged within Feiyin Pavilion, now with an atmoshere turned grim; Killing Intent shaped into phantom-like ghosts that danced in the air, adding a touch of death to the already solemn place.
"The Azure Dragon Association?!"
The signature black iron masks and Demon Swords led everyone to recognize the Demon Blade Guards from the Azure Dragon Association.
This night’s surprises just kept coming, first with the sudden murderous dancing girls, taking down the renowned Yang Xianru with ease, and now, the crowd discovered that the Azure Dragon Association, which had only ever stormed in with brute force before, had also come up with a new trick.
The Azure Dragon Association had never before been known to employ female assassins, least of all those with such exceptional beauty that ensnared and intoxicated.
Still, another shock didn’t slow down the collective Killing Intent, as nearly twenty Northern Zhou Generals took action at once, clashing with the Demon Blade Guards in an intense melee.
"Things went smoothly. Yang Xianru is dead, and those dancing girls under your command are truly formidable."
High in the night sky, upon the broad back of the White Phoenix, Qing Yu hovered in small circles, watching the chaos in the open-air Feiyin Pavilion below and praised.
"Those five are Martial Artists of the Divine Origin Realm, top fighters from our sect. How formidable Yang Xianru might have been, once he was unguarded, his fate was sealed," said Yun Wuyue, hidden behind a white veil, standing behind Qing Yu.
"But your Martial Arts are also formidable. ’Men Can’t Bear to See,’ is indeed so, one glance and it’s death."
