Chapter 61: Chapter 59: Celestial Fragrance Fairy

“Celestial Immortal Tower.”

Zhou Chen lightly grasped with his right hand, his thumb gently brushing his chin as he assessed this lavish, brightly adorned building.

Truly a sink of money!

“Young master, come inside quickly!”

Many enchanting young women inside, upon seeing Zhou Chen, had their eyes light up and waved their embroidered handkerchiefs, smiling charmingly.

They were young and beautiful, with graceful figures.

“Sisters, look!”

“Such a handsome gentleman!”

“Could it be that the young master is too shy to come in?”

“Ah, he’s so handsome!”

“Hehe, don’t fight over him with me!”

“Why should you have him? What if he doesn’t like you?”

…

Zhou Chen stood at the doorway for just a moment before being surrounded by several young girls who rushed out from inside, wrapping his arm as they entered Celestial Immortal Tower.

Zhou Chen immediately felt a warm and soft sensation.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, it was as if he entered another world.

Outside the door was a bustling market and common folk, inside was a place filled with gentle fragrance and elegance.

Everywhere he looked, besides the customers, there were young and beautiful girls of a higher caliber than those at Qinghe City’s Snow Moon Square and Qinghe Tower.

“Is it your first time here, young master?”

A red-clad woman on Zhou Chen’s left arm smiled charmingly, her beautiful eyes alight as they landed on Zhou Chen, as if glowing.

Zhou Chen stood at six foot three, with long arms and a slim waist, a tall and graceful figure, skin as fine as jade, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in white, with luxurious silk, spotless and elegant.

Even among the sons of aristocratic families and wealthy merchants in Celestial Immortal Tower, he stood out, most beloved by the brothel girls.

But the prerequisite was to be loaded with wealth.

If one’s pockets were empty, no amount of good looks would matter.

“Indeed, it’s my first time here.”

Zhou Chen nodded, withdrawing his arm from the tender embrace, and took out two pieces of silver, placing them into the bosoms of the two girls.

“Young master, you’ve certainly come to the right place,”

The smile of the red-clad girl became even more radiant, her warmth as fiery: “Do you know why this place is called Celestial Immortal Tower?”

“Because it guarantees to make you feel as happy as an Immortal in the heavens!”

Zhou Chen chuckled, neither affirming nor denying.

“I’ve heard you have a Celestial Fragrance Fairy here, a renowned beauty on the Hundred Flowers List. I wonder if I could have a glimpse?”

“Young master, your timing couldn’t be better,”

The yellow-clad girl on Zhou Chen’s right arm smiled seductively and said softly:

“Celestial Fragrance Fairy performs only one piece a day, and it’s just about time for her performance. She certainly won’t disappoint you.”

“Listening to songs in a pavilion is nice, but I prefer something more direct.”

Zhou Chen withdrew his hand and gave a firm squeeze on their ample, curvaceous hips, laughing:

“I mean a private meeting, you know!”

“Oh!”

The two girls cast watery, teasing glances at Zhou Chen, the red-clad girl said with a charming smile:

“To meet Celestial Fragrance Fairy alone is quite difficult.”

“Don’t misunderstand, young master. It’s not that we’re making it hard for you, but every day so many people wish to meet Celestial Fragrance Fairy alone. But there is only one of her, how could she meet everyone?”

Zhou Chen looked at the two girls, intrigued: “Is it because I don’t have enough money, or don’t have enough status, or perhaps my martial arts skills aren’t sufficient?”

“You misunderstand, young master. The patrons who come here to have fun are all wealthy people with status,”

The red-clad girl shook Zhou Chen’s arm and said:

“And you, young master, are a prodigy of the Cyan Cloud Sect. Whether it’s status or martial arts skills, you are top-notch.”

Although Zhou Chen was not wearing the Cyan Cloud Sect disciple attire, he came riding a Jiaolong Horse, so they naturally knew Zhou Chen was a disciple from the Cyan Cloud Sect.

They estimated Zhou Chen should be an Outer Disciple.

And a disciple of Cyan Cloud Sect, even an Outer Disciple, would already be considered a person of significance outside.

“But we come to Celestial Immortal Tower to have fun. If we were to compare martial arts skills, wouldn’t it spoil the mood?”

The woman in red smiled and said:

“Celestial Fragrance Fairy is exceptionally talented and likes poetry. If you can compose poetry that she likes, you will be able to meet her.”

Saying so, the woman in red raised a hand and pointed to a nearby table, introducing:

“That is where Celestial Fragrance Fairy has prepared pens, ink, paper, and inkstones. Anyone interested can leave their work there, and someone will take it to Celestial Fragrance Fairy for her review.”

“If there are outstanding poems, they will be framed and displayed nearby for guests to admire, gaining fame all around!”

Zhou Chen glanced at the table, where many literati and scholars gathered, showing off their talents.

Some hoped to try their luck and win the Fairy’s favor.

Others wanted to seize the opportunity to gain fame and showcase their talents.

In this Extraordinary World, cultivation and strength are mainstream, but music, chess, calligraphy, and painting still prevail, with many martial arts related to them.

Zhou Chen had heard from Ruyan that Celestial Fragrance Fairy’s martial prowess is not weak, comparable to the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Inner Sect Disciple.

The martial art she practices seems to be the Celestial Dragon Eight Sounds, an excellent martial art with extraordinary power.

Otherwise, how could a brothel courtesan be listed alongside Cyan Cloud Sect Leader Qing Yuyao and Celestial Sword Sect Saintess Sword Hero on the Hundred Flowers List?

“Celestial Fragrance Fairy has appeared!”

A surprised exclamation was heard, and Zhou Chen suddenly smelled a strange, enchanting fragrance, refreshing and intoxicating.

He looked up and saw a graceful figure holding a zither descend from the sky, spinning and landing at the center of the stage in the Celestial Immortal Tower.

Her figure was graceful, her movements elegant, and her demeanor varied, sitting cross-legged like a Fairy from the Nine Heavens fallen into the mortal world.

The zither turned twice in her fair jade hands, then rested horizontally on her jade-like legs.

The originally noisy Celestial Immortal Tower seemed to press pause, instantly falling silent, as everyone stared in a daze at the figure on the stage.

She appeared to be the center of the world, gathering everyone’s gaze.

When Celestial Fragrance Fairy emerged in front of everyone like a fairy descending from a dreamlike deep valley, everyone in the hall, regardless of gender, couldn’t take their eyes off this captivating courtesan.

Zhou Chen, without any pretense, gazed intently at Celestial Fragrance Fairy.

Celestial Fragrance Fairy possessed a natural allure as pure as an Immortal, coupled with a mysterious beauty, blending the two into an exceptional charm unique to both.

Besides her tall and graceful figure and varied expressions, the most captivating were her soul-stirring eyes, filled with emotions that left men unable to resist.

Zhou Chen didn’t know how other protagonists had such clear and worthy gazes for beauties, but his gaze was just like any other man’s.

Thump!

A pair of fair and slender jade hands lifted, gently plucking the strings, as if playing on everyone’s heartstrings.

“This zither seems to be a Divine Weapon…”

Though amazed by Celestial Fragrance Fairy’s beauty, Zhou Chen focused more on her cultivation level, speculating that the zither she played was likely a Tier Four Divine Weapon.

“Truly wealthy!”

Zhou Chen remarked inwardly, realizing obtaining a Tier Four Divine Weapon requires considerable effort, similar to Li Changhen acquiring a Tier Four Divine Weapon bow.

However, given Celestial Fragrance Fairy’s fame, the Celestial Immortal Tower thriving here is obviously not so simple.

Suddenly, the music changed. Celestial Fragrance Fairy, dressed in pure white clothing with a light red shawl, softly sang:

“Tears drenching the silken robe, the young lord betraying promises. Sisters once warned clearly, ’Don’t share your true heart with him. Carefully consider, is the fickle nature good enough?’”

Her singing conveyed a reckless, lazy yet hauntingly melancholy flavor, possessing an unmatched ethereal charm.

“The bridal chamber is deep, empty and quiet, stifling unfulfilled desires. Awaiting him, hoping not to indulge in love with wild youth.

Light makeup, fewer interactions, only for the distant Wuling. Snow on the chest for him to bite, fearing the cost to buy a thousand-pound laugh.”

The song led everyone present into a strange and enchanting musical realm, her captivating voice emanating through different singing styles, displaying a rich and nuanced nature that’s hard to capture.

In moments of melancholy, emotions surged like tides, drowning everyone’s emotional ground completely.

What captivated most was her unintentional display of natural beauty and charm.

The song ended.

The music abruptly stopped.

After a while, the entire place erupted in thunderous applause, filled with awe.

“This piece should only be heard in heaven; how often do we hear it on earth?”

“Today, listening to your song is like hearing celestial music, temporarily enlightening the ears!”

“Celestial Fragrance Fairy, I love you!”

…

(ps: Celestial Fragrance Fairy: If you love me, give me your vote! Mwah!)
