Star Odyssey Chapter 794: Lu Yin, Love Expert

Chapter 794: Lu Yin, Love Expert

Lu Yin did not go to the Zhu family, as doing so would be completely useless. The Zhu family had clearly demonstrated that they were not going to give anyone face, which he felt was strange. If that was the case, then why was the Zhu family still hanging on to True Insight? The family had no powerful Lockbreakers. Thus, they must be either waiting for a better offer, or they had some other use for the pages.

Not even a few days had pa.s.sed before the Zhu family released an announcement, stating that the family would be willing to give True Insight to whoever was able to help Zhu San marry Qiong Xi’er. In addition, the family was also offering an additional 300,000 star essence as a gift to that person.

As soon as this announcement was released, the news shocked the entire Outerverse. The family wasn’t only offering True Insight, but also 300,000 star essence, which was an insane amount of money that the vast majority of cultivators would never be able to see in their entire lifetime.

Countless people contacted Zhu San and tried to design some kind of scheme for him, and they all offered advice on how to chase girls.

However, Qiong Xi'er was not an ordinary girl. Over the course of ten days, Zhu San tried various methods, but he always ended up being beaten by Qiong Xi'er, which made him only feel anger towards the people who had given him advice. After these few days, he started beating these people before they could even approach him.

Qiong Xi'er was even more frustrated; who would have thought that the Zhu family would come up with such a bizarre plan. She was certain that she would not marry Zhu San, but this sort of scheme left her feeling disgusted. Even if she remained hidden within the City Master’s residence, Zhu San still managed to think of all sorts of crazy methods to demonstrate his affection. The most outrageous incident was when she had been taking a bath. Suddenly, a bunch of mice had appeared, and each one of them had Zhu San’s declarations of love carved onto them. This entire situation was close to driving her crazy.

Qiong Shanhai was also infuriated, and he even went to meet with Zhu Jie and ask the Zhu family patriarch to revoke his promise. However, Zhu Jie was not accepting any visitors during this time. Even if Qiong Shanhai was the City Master, the man in question had not committed any heinous crimes, so he was left helpless.

During this period, everyone in Millions City discussed how Zhu San could woo Qiong Xi'er.

It was not just Zhu San doing this, as those who wanted to marry into the Qiong family were all using various methods to try to win over Qiong Xi’er. Zhu San would also occasionally pick a fight with these people, which caused Millions City to become rather chaotic.

Lu Yin watched as the crowd below him dispersed, as they had gathered here just to fight. Each party was attempting to force the others to stop pursuing Qiong Xi'er.

He was left speechless by these events. This tomboy had actually managed to whip so many people into a frenzy with just her status alone.

This matter not only affected Millions City, but its effects had also rippled out throughout the entire Tyrannical Weave, even affecting the rest of the Outerverse. Various powers wanted to cooperate with Millions City, so this entire matter caused many other places to turn chaotic as well.

Qiong Xi'er was now thoroughly famous, and people everywhere suddenly knew not only her family and backing, but they also knew her hobbies, personality, style, and even how she often had women stay overnight. Every incident of her existence ended up being dug up.

Still, that didn’t change anything. Even if this girl was promiscuous, there were still many who would fight to be with her.

This whole matter was a farce, but Lu Yin did not intend to remain as a spectator; even a farce could become an opportunity for him to take advantage of. If someone out of this group of aspiring suitors really managed to marry into the Qiong family, then the situation of the entire Outerverse could easily change, and Lu Yin would not allow something that he could not control to happen right before his eyes.

As he thought about this, he contacted w.a.n.g Wen, as this person understood Qiong Xi'er rather well.

“You want to chase after Qiong Xi'er!” w.a.n.g Wen cried out loudly.

Lu Yin rubbed his ears. “Not me. Rather, I want to help Zhu San woo her. So do you have any suggestions?”

“No. That woman is a freak no matter what she does or where she goes. She's able to dress up nicely and act dignified and natural during the Qiong Forest Banquets, but she can also become a playboy in the brothel. This kind of woman is very strange, and you have to be a woman to chase after her. She has no interest in men,” w.a.n.g Wen stated.

A lightbulb seemed to light up in Lu Yin’s brain. “What did you just say?”

w.a.n.g Wen blinked. “She has no interest in men.”

“Before that,” Lu Yin urged.

w.a.n.g Wen replied, “You have to be a woman to chase her.”

“That’s right! It’s that part—‘be a woman!’” Lu Yin slapped the table and closed the screen. He then quickly headed straight towards the Fragrance Pavilion. During these past few days, Qiong Xi'er had spent a great deal of time at the brothel, almost as if she was announcing to the universe what sort of person she was and that everyone should leave her alone.

Zhu San was also in the Fragrance Pavilion, blankly watching her.

He felt like, if he did not win over Qiong Xi'er, he would be lost in despair for the rest of his life. Thus, he watched her all day, every day. He trashed anyone who dared to strike up a conversation with her, and if he could not beat them, then he would have his Zhu family find someone else to do the job. There was n.o.body the Zhu family didn’t dare cross within Millions City. Unless, of course, it was someone whom they could not defeat.

The Fragrance Pavilion was laid out in a series of courtyards, and Zhu San had booked all of the courtyards surrounding the one that Qiong Xi'er was in, and there were multiple people having discussions in these reserved courtyards. These people were all self-proclaimed love experts creating plans for Zhu San.

Zhu San paced back and forth, clearly on edge.

Wei Rong and Starfox had arrived some distance away. Since arriving at Millions City, this was the first time these two had met alone.

As they observed Zhu San in the distance, Wei Rong smiled. “Actually, if he can manage to marry Qiong Xi'er, that would be pretty good.”

Starfox nodded. “The Zhu family will not step foot outside of Millions City, and the Qiong family will be nothing more than a powerful clan if they ever leave Millions City. Neither of them can even come close to being able to alter the situation.”

“There are only a few powers that are able to truly alter the situation of the Outerverse. However, it is exactly those few powers whose true limits n.o.body knows,” Wei Rong replied.

Starfox did not respond. Instead, he continued to look into the distance with some interest.

Lu Yin had just arrived, but he did not bother with Wei Rong or Starfox. Rather, he directly approached Zhu San. “Why don’t you try my plan?”

Zhu San was doubtful towards Lu Yin. “You have a plan?”

Lu Yin replied, “Try it. It might work.”

Zhu San remained skeptical, and he quietly asked, “Could you be intentionally trying to break us up? Let me tell you something, Lu Yin. If I can’t wed Xi'er, you won’t be able to either.”

Lu Yin was left speechless. When someone was infatuated with another person, they tended to a.s.sume that everyone else was also infatuated with that person. This was a cla.s.sic aspect of a one-sided love affair.

He did not continue exchanging nonsense with Zhu San. Instead, Lu Yin quickly pulled him into a corner and then whispered something in his ear.

Zhu San listened attentively, and his mouth gradually fell open, wider and wider, as his expression turned rather sluggish. It looked as though he had just heard something that made him doubt his life.

“Do you dare to try?” Lu Yin asked.

Zhu San swallowed his saliva. “Are- are you certain?”

Lu Yin nodded. “You should know her strange personality better than anyone else, and you definitely will not be able to woo her through normal methods. Try this. Can your situation even get any worse than it currently is? She doesn’t merely dislike you right now, as she actually loathes you. Do you understand that? Loathing? That means that, when she sees you, she can’t stop herself from wanting to trample you underfoot and then spit on you.”

Zhu San’s lips twisted, as these were the most savage words he had heard these past few days. He gritted his teeth before determinedly saying, “Fine, I’ll try it. I’m willing to do anything for her, even if it means becoming a laughingstock.”

He then headed towards another courtyard without turning back, and he even instructed the Fragrance Pavilion to send some girls to him.

The crowd grew curious as to what Lu Yin had proposed to Zhu San.

Wei Rong and Starfox were similarly curious.

Over the course of these past ten days, Zhu San had already used all sorts of methods, but all of them had been completely ineffective on Qiong Xi'er. Zhu San was like a gambler who had already lost everything, so would he take things too far this time?

It didn’t take long for Zhu San to reappear.

And when he did, everyone was stunned at his appearance.

Wei Rong was unable to control himself, and he spat out the tea that was in his mouth, showering Starfox.

Despite being an Enlighter, Starfox actually didn’t dodge the spray of tea, as he was staring dumbfoundedly at Zhu San.

Everyone was stunned by Zhu San, as he had come out dressed as a woman.

There were all sorts of strange things in the universe, and this was just a simple act of crossdressing that even commoners partic.i.p.ated in, and it was often someone’s hobby or fetish. After all, everyone had their own interests. However, Zhu San was the Zhu family’s only heir, and his reputation in the Outerverse was not unknown.

The Zhu family was one of the most powerful families in Millions City, as they were second only to the Qiong family.

Just now, Zhu San had come out, dressed as a woman, and this image shocked all of Millions City like a sudden clap of thunder. The Zhu family’s reputation would be gone after this matter.

Wei Rong stared at Zhu San in amazement, as the young man’s courage was truly commendable. He then looked over at Lu Yin. This person was playing with fire! Wasn’t he afraid that the Zhu family’s ancestor would make a sudden appearance and crush him?

Those Zhu family followers and retainers felt like crying on the spot. They were doomed. n.o.body could save them now.

n.o.body knew how much courage Zhu San had mustered up, but he walked towards Qiong Xi'er’s courtyard step by step as countless eyes were glued to his figure. He knew that his clothing choices would soon spread throughout the entire Outerverse, but he had still decided to give this a try. For his beloved, he was not even afraid of death, so there was nothing that was too terrifying.

Lu Yin felt nothing but respect for Zhu San, as he did not have this kind of courage himself.

When the door to the next courtyard swung open, Lu Yin and the rest could hear the sounds of cheerful conversations with Qiong Xi'er’s wilful laughter sprinkled through.

But as soon as Zhu San walked in, the laughter abruptly stopped.

The crowd was waiting to see if Zhu San would be kicked out, as that scene had occurred numerous times already, and the spectators were no strangers to it.

But even after waiting for a while, there was no change.

Those under the Zhu family grew panicked. Could Qiong Xi'er have been so disgusted and ashamed by their young master’s appearance that she had killed him in a fit of fury? They quickly dashed into the courtyard, but then they ran out just as quickly. When they exited, they were all wearing ecstatic expressions, as their young master was actually enjoying himself with Qiong Xi'er.

The crowd took in a breath of cold air, as such a wild gambit had actually succeeded. They all looked over at Lu Yin, as he was indeed a love expert.

Lu Yin felt a heavy weight lift from his chest, as he had actually been gambling. This was a desperate situation where one would be willing to try just about anything. Dealing with someone as strange as Qiong Xi'er required techniques that were just as strange. Lu Yin had not personally carried too much hope for this attempt, and when Zhu San had walked out fully dressed in female clothes, Lu Yin had already prepared himself to face the wrath of the Zhu family. However, to his surprise, Zhu San had actually succeeded so quickly.

This incident caused Lu Yin to become famous all over again, not because of his strength and backing, but rather because he had succeeded in helping Zhu San get close to Qiong Xi'er. Reports came out that she had happily spent her time with Zhu San and that the two had stayed at the Fragrance Pavilion for the entire night.

Wei Rong rather admired Lu Yin for being able to come up with such an unusual method.

As Starfox looked over at Lu Yin, he was struck by a slight sense of post-traumatic stress. This person would truly dare to do anything, and fortunately, Starfox had been sensible enough to not fight Lu Yin to the death. Aegis was not afraid and would have been able to go toe-to-toe with Lu Yin, but who could predict what methods this sort of enemy would be willing to deploy?

Starfox swore to himself that, no matter what happened in the future, Aegis would not become enemies with this person, as he had no bottom line.

Still, Lu Yin was not the only one without a baseline.

After Zhu San managed to successfully approach Qiong Xi'er, the following day, many other men also dressed up as women and visited the Fragrance Pavilion, which stumped many of the establishment’s patrons. They quickly a.s.sumed that this was a new service being offered by the pavilion, and one client was even interested. However, when he tried to tease one of the crossdressers, his leg was broken by the man.

Zhu San was immediately abandoned, as Qiong Xi'er found a new playmate who had dressed himself up even more enchantingly than Zhu San. This person had no hesitations, and he completely let himself loose.

Zhu San gave it his all, and he even learned an erotic dance.

The others were not too bad either, and they quickly learned to do whatever a woman could do. They all competed in the feminine arts within Qiong Xi'er’s courtyard, which caused many of the men outside to rub their eyes in disbelief.

Lu Yin did not go to the brothel anymore, as this was just too much for his eyes, and the scenery of that place had completely changed. He felt as though he had opened a can of worms.

One day, Lu Yin received an invitation from Qiong Shanhai, and he quickly headed straight for the City Master’s residence.

Ever since Lu Yin had arrived in Millions City, this was his first time visiting the City Master’s residence.

It was located in the center of Millions City, and rather than the City Master’s residence, it would be more aptly called the Qiong family’s estate.
