Chapter 482: Wars Caused by Women

Women—an eternal topic among men. Just as shopping is an eternal topic among women! Yet Bai Xiaosheng still couldn’t believe that this sophomore, who performed so brilliantly in the game, could handle such a situation so effortlessly, showing the skill and calmness of an experienced person. It made him think this world was utterly crazy—he knew that with such focused joy, one wouldn’t spend much time in places full of romance.

“I now doubt whether you’re really just an ordinary sophomore.”
“I’m already a junior—old already.”
Kai Xin kept moving forward, his gaze sweeping over the two beautiful faces before settling on Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng forced a smile as he stepped forward to greet him, saying, “I’ve been keeping an eye on your movements. You’ve definitely never been to this part of the capital. Moreover, few outside know much about ‘Little Moon Fairy’ and ‘Delicate Slave.’ I wonder where Brother Kai Xin got his information.”

“Of course from men, Brother Bai Xiaosheng. That’s a bit intrusive. Remember to punish yourself with a drink later. Little Moon Fairy, do you think I’m right?” Kai Xin replied humorously before turning his gaze to her.

Little Moon Fairy smiled lightly and said, “Young Master Kai Xin is right. He should be punished with a drink.”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng was stunned. It was the first time he’d seen someone who could make Little Moon Fairy speak right away, and Kai Xin spoke so casually.

Kai Xin naturally knew what surprised him—the two beauties of Tianxiang Tower, Little Moon Fairy and Delicate Slave, were both extraordinary ladies whose value and personality were directly proportional. One was unmatched in playing the zither, the other in dancing, surpassing even Diaochan. They usually ignored ordinary people in the martial world and only interacted with those of fame. But interacting didn’t mean smiling or serving drinks… let alone engaging in vulgar behavior or speech… Only those truly capable could catch their attention, and only those who truly respected them could make them speak.

Even Bai Xiaosheng, after being here for so long, often went unanswered by these two. He had intended to explain things for Kai Xin, but instead, Kai Xin gave him a surprising shock, turning every word he wanted to say into bitterness and helplessness. He thought to himself, Could it really be that I’m getting old?

“Alright, alright. Even Little Moon Fairy is on your side. I have nothing to say. Then I’ll punish myself with a drink… Come on, let’s go inside and talk in detail.”
“Please, young master!”

Xiao Yuexian and Jiaonu stood at the door, one on each side, bowing gracefully as their bright eyes fixed on Kai Xin with evident interest.
Bai Xiaosheng, who entered the hall first, was stunned and felt deeply shaken.
In fact, Kai Xin also found it strange, his eyes showing a hint of confusion. Though flattered by the attention from these two beauties, he remembered that in his past life, he had never received such earnest regard. What was going on? Could it be that his arrival had caused some anomaly in the “Jianghu” system?
Overwhelmed by these doubts, Kai Xin ignored his surroundings. After sitting down guided by Bai Xiaosheng, he suddenly heard Xiao Yuexian speak: “Today, honored guests have visited Tianxiang Tower, bringing glory to our humble abode. Xiao Yuexian has a song she would like to dedicate to you both…” Her gaze remained fixed on Kai Xin’s profile, her tender eyes evoking deep thoughts.
“…”
Bai Xiaosheng smiled wryly before teasing Kai Xin, “It seems my understanding of Tianxiang Tower was rather superficial before. Today, the goddess herself is interested—it seems, Brother Kai Xin, that you’re in for a treat today, enjoying the grace of a beauty.” As he spoke, he carefully observed Xiao Yuexian and Jiaonu’s reactions.
Under normal circumstances… the two women would surely be angry at such words. But today, despite Bai Xiaosheng’s teasing, Xiao Yuexian showed no reaction at all. She simply picked up an elegant seven-string zither and gracefully sat down on the platform about ten meters away.
The sound of the zither filled the air.
“Giggle… Allow this humble servant to perform.”
Jiaonu smiled coyly. Her delicate figure suddenly leaped into the air, performing astonishingly graceful movements, her gorgeous goose-yellow sleeves fluttering. Her beautiful posture and delicate movements, combined with the enchanting zither music, filled the hall with splendor.
After the song ended, Xiao Yuexian and Jiaonu, sweating profusely, came over to them…
“Sir, who do you think is more beautiful and charming—Xiao Yuexian and Jiaonu, or Zhou Zhiruo, the legendary first beauty and leader of the Emei Sect?” Xiao Yuexian asked calmly, pouring wine for Kai Xin while staring at the glass in front of her.
Bai Xiaosheng paused mid-pour, finally beginning to understand why Xiao Yuexian treated him so well—unlike Jiaonu, who hardly spoke to him at all. It seemed that progressing through the story’s tasks could also raise a player’s status in the eyes of NPCs.

Now, Zhou Zhiruo is the leader of the Emei Sect. It is said in the martial world that she obtained the secrets of the Heaven-Supporting Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Blade, which gave her her current strength. No wonder Xiao Yuexian and Jiaonu show such strong interest in Kaixin.
Bai Xiaosheng watched quietly from the side, not interrupting.
“Zhou Zhiruo is like a rare orchid in a secluded valley—pure, beautiful, serene, and refined… As for her after becoming the sect leader, I don’t know; I haven’t seen her for a long time.”
Looking at the enchanting Xiao Yuexian with her delicate features, Kaixin naturally recalled the former Zhou Zhiruo. Whether on Bright Summit, at Wan’an Temple, or on Snake Island, Zhou Zhiruo bore some resemblance to her, so she replied unconsciously.
“Well, young master, what do you think of us?”
Xiao Yuexian and Jiaonu both showed concern.
“Your musical talent is unparalleled, and your dancing is outstanding. You’re truly the two most beautiful women in the capital—your reputation is well-deserved.”
“Thank you for your praise, young master.”
Xiao Yuexian showed a slight smile.
Just as she raised her cup to toast, sudden noise came from outside.
Sure enough! Trouble has arrived!
“What’s going on? Someone is disturbing Room Number One? Hmph! It seems Tianxiang Tower’s environment isn’t that great after all.” Glancing at Bai Xiaosheng’s astonished, half-angry, half-perplexed expression, Kaixin pondered for a moment before shaking her head and laughing:
Heh, I blamed Bai Xiaosheng wrongly. He had forgotten.
Since the opening of the martial world, not many people have come to Tianxiang Tower, and even fewer know the rules regarding its “two most beautiful women.”
These two women are not ordinary tavern attendants. Their musical skills and dancing are the best in the martial world, making them the most popular stars.
Such people… naturally attract many self-important individuals.
Thus, there’s a special rule for them.
Ding!
System alert:
“Other guests have requested Xiao Yuexian and Jiaonu as companions. The intruder has entered the courtyard and challenged you!”
“Do you want to accept the challenge? If you do, you can choose to remain anonymous. If you win, the intruder will leave; if you lose, Tianxiang Tower will refund your payment, but you’ll lose the chance to have Xiao Yuexian and Jiaonu as companions in the future.”
Bai Xiaosheng also received the system alert, his face turning pale.
Kaixin smiled calmly. As she stood up, she had already changed into a hazy yellow brocade robe, her face obscured. Even if she fought, her identity wouldn’t be revealed.
“I’ll go see who it is.”
Turning, she left the hall accompanied by Xiao Yuexian and Jiaonu and entered the courtyard.
