Chapter 191 Night Visit to the Evening Water Alliance.
"Boss! The bill!" Wu Xuan said, handing a gold soul coin to the shop owner who had trotted over.
"Sir, your lunch cost four silver soul coins. I'll give you your change now," the shop owner said, bowing and scraping.
"Keep the change, consider the extra a tip," Wu Xuan said, waving his hand and standing up to leave.
"Ah~! Thank you, sir, thank you!" the shop owner exclaimed, overjoyed.
A six-silver-soul-coin tip was enough to cover the cost of ingredients for forty or fifty servings of braised beef.
"No need to thank me! Give me your change!" Ye Guyi stepped forward, blocking the shop owner's path.
"This...this..." the shop owner looked at the girl blocking his way with a troubled expression.
"That guy, what kind of status does he have! A simple lunch costs a gold soul coin," Ye Guyi muttered to herself, glancing at Wu Xuan as he walked out of the shop.
The shop owner had no choice but to give Ye Guyi the remaining six silver soul coins in change.
"Hey! What exactly is this get-rich-quick scheme you're talking about? Take me with you!" Ye Guyi jogged forward, turning to the side with a sweet smile.
"Are you sure? My way of making quick money is a bit dangerous." Wu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"Sure! If I don't make some money soon, I'll be sleeping on the streets tonight."
"Alright then! Let's go to a hotel to rest first. My way of making quick money has to wait until late at night." Looking towards the direction of the palace, Wu Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"Late at night? Your way of making quick money is really peculiar!" Ye Guyi muttered.
"..."
Late at night!
At this time, Mingdu was less noisy and bustling than usual, feeling more like it was asleep.
Wu Xuan and Ye Guyi, dressed in black, headed straight for the center of Mingdu.
"Hey! What are we doing dressed like this? Let me tell you, as a descendant of the Holy Angels, I would never do such heinous things as theft and robbery." Ye Guyi, increasingly uneasy, voiced her profound question as they moved forward.
"Theft and robbery? That sounds awful. We're going to rid the world of a scourge." Wu Xuan declared righteously.
"Does rid the world of a scourge need to be done in the middle of the night? Don't try to fool me." Ye Guyi blocked Wu Xuan's path.
Wu Xuan sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Didn't you always want to ask me where the evil spirit masters' stronghold in Mingdu is? We're on our way now. Tell me, does raiding the evil spirit masters' stronghold count as ridding the world of a scourge?"
"Yes!"
"Then the evil spirit masters' plundered wealth, that kind of sinful stuff, doesn't it need the Holy Angels to purify it?"
"Yes!"
"Then let's go, let's raid the evil spirit masters' stronghold in Mingdu together." At this moment, Wu Xuan's hand gestures exuded righteous energy.
"Alright!" Upon hearing about killing evil spirit masters, Ye Guyi became excited, completely disregarding her intelligence.
The two followed the path and soon arrived at the most bustling commercial street in Mingdu.
The Qingse Hotel, a hotel with a very distinctive name, was only two kilometers away from the outer streets of the Sun Moon Empire's palace. It was in an absolutely prime location.
On the surface, the Qingse Hotel didn't seem very large, with only five floors above ground, but Wu Xuan, who knew it well, understood that its true strength lay underground.
"This is the headquarters of the Evening Water Alliance."
Wu Xuan said in a low voice, looking at the hotel in the distance.
At this moment, Ye Guyi's intelligence finally regained its footing. She subconsciously jumped to the side, staring at Wu Xuan warily, and said, "A brothel? How could an evil soul master set up their headquarters here? You brought me here under this pretext, you're not trying to get me drunk and sleep with me, are you?"
Wu Xuan raised his hand and patted his forehead, saying helplessly, "Don't be so filthy, okay? As a holy angel, you should act like a holy angel. Besides, I didn't say that the evil soul master's headquarters was in that hotel! And I really don't need your taste."
Ye Guyi blushed and said stubbornly, "Hmph! You didn't explain it clearly, so you can't blame me for overthinking it."
"Alright! Just come with me. My martial soul has the ability to shield auras and senses. After we go deep into the evil soul master's headquarters, remember not to stay more than two meters away from me." Wu Xuan instructed.
"Understood!" Ye Guyi said.
Led by Wu Xuan, the two turned into a narrow alley. Ye Guyi felt completely disoriented from the numerous twists and turns.
Finally, Wu Xuan stopped at the end of an alley and turned into a manor. At this point, they were nearly five kilometers away from the Qingse Hotel.
"This is it, an escape route for those rats in the gutter," Wu Xuan said in a low voice, pushing aside the weeds on the ground.
It was a cabinet door made entirely of rare metals.
Ye Guyi stepped forward and knocked on the sealed cabinet door, asking, "This is a door made of black copper. If we force it open, it will definitely make a lot of noise. Did you bring a soundproof soul tool?"
"No need for that. Leave it to me," Wu Xuan waved for Ye Guyi to step back.
Under Ye Guyi's gaze, Wu Xuan snapped his fingers, and a bright green flame ignited in his palm.
The flame left his hand and adhered to the black copper cabinet door, which, known for its hardness, slowly melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hiss! Your methods are truly mysterious. I'm increasingly starting to think you're less like a Soul Master and more like a traditional Soul Master," Ye Guyi remarked at the opportune moment.
"I never said I was a Soul Master!" Wu Xuan said, turning and jumping into the passage.
Ye Guyi pursed her lips, then followed suit.
The two landed one after the other, and looking around, the passage was pitch black, practically impenetrable.
"Miss Ye, this passage is too dark. Why don't you release your Martial Soul?" Wu Xuan suddenly said.
"What does the darkness of the passage have to do with whether I release my Martial Soul or not?" Ye Guyi asked curiously.
"Because your Martial Soul can provide us with light!" Wu Xuan smiled.
"You actually used my Sacred Angel Martial Soul to provide light for me!" Ye Guyi was instantly speechless with anger.
Wu Xuan glanced at her and said calmly, "To kill evil Soul Masters and purify their ill-gotten gains."
Ye Guyi glared fiercely at Wu Xuan, but remembering her purpose, she ultimately yielded. She pouted, reluctantly unfurling her angel wings.
Wu Xuan smiled slightly and followed Ye Guyi forward. "Little brat, I can't handle you."
As the two continued deeper into the passage, the dark tunnel surprisingly felt quite spacious.
The tunnel didn't slope downwards, but rather went straight ahead. Thick stone walls surrounded them, all over a meter thick, but even the thickest stone walls were still incredibly fragile in the hands of a Soul Master.
