Chapter 63: Murong Wen

At this time, a voice came from the door.

“Lady Dream Butterfly, please excuse my intrusion.”

An enforcer who was on the first floor walked in with a crumpled letter. He saw the matron and Dream Butterfly inside the room. The man handed the letter to the matron, since she held the highest authority, in case she did not consent to the invitation.

“Thank you,” the matron politely thanked the enforcer before checking the letter.

“Oh?” the matron uttered in amusement as she looked at Dream Butterfly. “You invited that adventurer who recently gained fame here? Does he have anything special that made you want to meet him?” the matron asked.

Dream Butterfly smiled. “Answering matron, Dream Butterfly has never stepped outside the Immortal Dream Garden, but she does not want to break the rule. So she invited Mr. Wei, the adventurer, so he can share his adventure stories with Dream Butterfly.” She explained with yearning in both her voice and eyes.

“I see… this may be a good thing. I heard you have been struggling to write a new song lately. Hearing his experiences might help you compose something fresh.” The matron nodded in agreement.

Since Dream Butterfly never sells her body, she has to be exceptionally skilled at entertaining others to justify the high price guests pay to spend time with her.

“Where is he now?” the matron asked the messenger.

“Report to lady matron, he is waiting for lady Dream Butterfly on the first floor,” the messenger replied.

But before anyone could act, Murong Wen walked up to the matron with a smile and snatched the letter from her hand.

Boom!

The letter immediately turned to dust! Murong Wen used his spiritual qi to destroy the letter, completely obliterating it, before turning toward Dream Butterfly.

“If sister Dream Butterfly wishes to see the outside world, let this young master take you out. I will guide you to many wondrous places and let you see the beauty of the world. You do not need to listen to second-hand experiences from a nameless vagabond.” Murong Wen said, his disdain for Wei Chen clear in his voice.

Seeing this, Dream Butterfly was stunned. She did not know what to do. She looked to the matron for advice, but the matron was just as shocked.

This was the first time both Dream Butterfly and the matron had seen young master Murong act like this. He was being very forceful.

Dream Butterfly felt a bad premonition, and for some reason she no longer wanted to go outside after noticing a strange dark glint hidden deep in Murong Wen’s eyes.

“If young master Murong does not want this humble girl to listen to Mr. Wei’s experiences, this humble girl will comply,” Dream Butterfly said timidly. However, she did not give her word about going out with him.

“Good,” Murong Wen nodded, then continued. “In fact, you do not need to lower yourself to perform for those people below. Tell me, and I will go and shoo them away for you.”

Hearing this, the matron panicked. “We cannot do that, young master Murong. We already announced the performance. If we cancel it, it will affect our reputation.”

“I see.” Murong Wen nodded, then looked at the stage below. He was silent for a moment before shaking his head.

“In that case, as the protector of the Immortal Dream Garden, let this young master help take care of the security. I guarantee that none of those lowlifes will be able to harm you.” Murong Wen offered with a smile.

“Err…” The matron’s face turned pale. She looked as if she wanted to say something but was unsure if she should.

“Is there anything you wish to discuss, lady matron?” Murong Wen asked.

“Err… young master Murong, it is good that you volunteered, but we already signed a contract with an escort agency to oversee the security. We already paid them, and if we change it now… I am afraid…” The matron wanted to continue, but the moment she saw Murong Wen’s face darken, she immediately shut her mouth.

Murong Wen clearly disliked what he heard, but he could not do anything. If he tried to be more forceful, it would look bad.

“I see…” Murong Wen replied shortly. His face was devoid of emotion, as if he was trying to suppress his anger.

After a brief pause, he smiled. “Since that is the case, I will excuse myself, for I still have business to take care of. Have a good evening.” Murong Wen said with a polite smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Murong Wen then walked out of the Immortal Dream Chamber.

After he left, the matron heaved a sigh of relief.

“Err… lady matron, what should I say to Mr. Wei, who is waiting below?” the messenger asked.

“Sigh…” The matron sighed tiredly.

As a woman who had experienced the world for some time, she knew what Murong Wen truly wanted, and she also understood his real nature.

Murong Wen always presented himself as a cultured and gentle man, but she knew there was something darker hiding behind that smile and those white robes that seemed unblemished by worldly desire.

She did not dare confront him, because the Murong clan was a very powerful clan that resided in the strongest province. If the Ximen clan possessed the strongest financial power and resources on the continent, then the Murong clan possessed the strongest military prowess.

With one word from Murong Wen, he could destroy the Immortal Dream Garden in a single night, and even the Heavenly Sword Sect would have to think twice before offending the Murong clan.

“This is truly troublesome,” she muttered.

Handling this matter was extremely tricky. She knew who Wei Chen was. Even though this man had only recently gained fame, his personal strength, which appeared to be at the Soul Transformation Realm, was equal to the strength of elders in large sects.

Even by Vermilion Bird Province standards, Wei Chen was considered strong and not someone to provoke.

Besides, the most frightening trait of lone wanderers was that they had nothing to lose. When people like that were angered, they could do anything.

Yes, she definitely could not offend Murong Wen, but she also could not afford to offend Wei Chen.

After thinking it through, she turned to the messenger. “I will go and apologize to him myself.”

— 15 Minutes later – Immortal Dream Tower 1st Floor —

Wei Chen was sitting on the first floor in the lobby area, spending his time browsing Spirit Net and checking the forums.

Now there were starting to be more forums discussing trends in this world, such as the best artificer, the greatest alchemist in the province, or even tutorials on how to concoct Qi Gathering Pills, the easiest pills that people could find recipes for.

There were even guides on how to start learning alchemy.

“This is very interesting,” Wei Chen uttered with interest.

Even though the culture in this world was vastly different from the culture of his previous world, the development of the net was beginning to gather attention from people who had already bought U-Phones.

In fact, he even saw some brain rot posts in the forum. For example:

[I think I am a Heaven Chosen, but I don’t know when my time to shine will be. Is there an average time for someone to awaken after getting slapped by a young master?]

[Rank every sect by how gorgeous their female disciples are]

[Is it gay to absorb your bro’s Yang essence after he dies in a secret realm? Asking for a friend.]

Wei Chen read them and could not help smiling at the corner of his mouth. Maybe internet users were all the same.

At this time, Wei Chen noticed a gorgeous mature woman walking toward him along with a muscular guy who looked like a bouncer. He was the one who had received the letter and vanished about fifteen minutes ago.

The gorgeous mature woman was, of course, the matron.

“Are you Mr. Wei?” the beautiful woman asked.

“Yes, that is me,” Wei Chen replied.

The matron smiled apologetically, then bowed to him. “I must apologize, Mr. Wei, but due to the preparation for the performance, Dream Butterfly needs to concentrate and cannot meet you. If you are not in a hurry, please stay. We will find someone who can satisfy you.”

“Oh, there is no problem. I understand. You do not need to call someone else. I planned to watch the performance anyway.” Wei Chen refused the compensation.

This world did not have condoms, so he did not know if he might get something extra from doing that with the women here. He did not want to risk it.

“But…” The matron hesitated. She did not know whether this was good or bad, or whether this Soul Transformation Realm expert named Wei Chen was already offended.

“Do not worry, miss. If you truly want to compensate me, can you allow me to broadcast the performance so that everyone from far away can enjoy it as well?” Wei Chen asked.

Hearing this, the matron smiled. “It would be an honor, Mr. Wei.”

Unknown to both Wei Chen and the matron, at the VIP lounge on the second floor, Murong Wen was looking coldly at the sceneas if looking at corpses.
