Chapter 50 – Enchantment City

Indeed, Enchantment City was originally called Silvermoon City. Roughly a thousand years ago, a beautiful woman named Yue Hou (Literally means Queen of the Moon), occupied this city, and listed it into the territory of the Yue Family.

A long time ago, an unknown city leader once nicknamed Silvermoon City as Enchantment City. He was an advanced cultivator, who had successfully won against several other participants in a Challenge Fight Competition. After that, his reputation had spiraled, and one day he had even received a letter of invitation jointly written by the five prominent families. Interestingly, he was invited to visit each of the five prominent families for a couple of days. Given the influence of the five families in the continent, he found it impolite to reject them all, so after he had finished his own matters; he happily traveled to every family’s major city.

​After he had been in Silvermoon City for five days, he had decided to go back to Dragon City, despite the Yue Family’s warm hospitality. The moment he stepped outside the city gate, he stood there, staring at the plate “Silvermoon City” for some seconds, and finally said, “Based on my experience, this name doesn’t really fit this city. It should be called… Enchantment City.”

Since then, people had spread the word, and Enchantment City had become a more frequently used name among civilians. It was fair to say, that if Immortal City was the most holy place for cultivation, then Enchantment City would be the paradise for all men.

Actually, nothing in Enchantment City truly attracted visitors, except for the women, numerous beautiful women!

……

“Is this the well-known Enchantment City? Oh, I don’t see anything that really grabs my attention.” Looking through the curtain, Qinghan found a normal street, with normal shops lined on each side. He was a little bit disappointed, as he had expected more from this city. So the smilingly turned to Shiqi, who sat beside him.

“Oh, come on, young lord. We can’t judge a book by its cover. In appearance, this city doesn’t boast anything that will distinguish itself from other cities.” Shiqi replied mockingly, as he smacked his lips and continued, “The special part of this city, is located in the pavilions up ahead, including the Yue Pavilion we’ll be staying at.”

“Oh!” Qinghan slightly nodded, as he didn’t quite believe Shiqi’s description, until they passed two turnings, and arrived at another street. By that time, Qinghan finally understood why this city was called Enchantment City – the road on the street was two times larger than those in the Grey City, which could accommodate five carriages running abreast with each other. Every day, there would be countless carriages and pedestrians flooding in and out of this street.

“We are in Enchantment City already, aren’t we? Unlike other streets we passed by, why is this one so busy?”

Qinghan was stunned by the sight, where people seemed like ants moving along the street. He suddenly came to the realization, that most people were lured to this place, which left other streets hollowed out.

“Yes, you’re right. Actually, this street is called Cloud and Rain Street. Within Enchantment City, there are thirteen streets like this one. Just to remind you, this isn’t even the most amazing part. The more interesting thing is straight ahead of us.” Shiqi replied, and smiled with enjoyment, the same expression he had had when he had first come here.

“Those… those women, oh… fuck, are these buildings all brothels? And these men, are they all coming here for those prostitutes?” Qinghan exclaimed out of sheer surprise, for he had never been here before. Now, it was clear to him, why this street was built in such a large space, and why visitors from different places kept swarming into this city.

Along the street, pavilions were orderly displayed on each side. In front of each pavilion, lines of women, with heavy make-up on, and little clothing, were touting customers while shaking their bosoms and exposing their legs. Their flirtatious passion stirred the hearts and minds of the men. Once a man stopped in front of the gate, he would soon be encircled by a bunch of women, who would touch him and speak to him with seductive voices, until they had successfully dragged him into their pavilion.

“Young lord, it seems as if it’s the first time you’ve come to this city, isn’t it? But do you know the most famous skill of the Yue Family? The enchantment skill! As far as I know, up until now, there are approximately 3,600 registered brothels throughout this city. The most exotic and charming girls are all living here. I’ve heard that the total number of beauties here surpasses the 100,000! Their slogan is ‘Our beauties are the best in the continent’. Come on, let’s go to the Yue Pavilion, and feel the enchantment tonight!” Shiqi explained, as he couldn’t help drooling before he had even finished his words.

“Oh… I know, the enchantment skill of the Yue Family is the equivalent of the battle beast of the Ye Family, they’re all matchless. However… I never thought, that it was a weapon to enchant men. Never have I encountered a city with such a thriving prostitution industry.” Qinghan frowned in confusion.

“Wrong! Young lord, these women we saw just now are not from the Yue Family, and their skills are too low compared with the Yue Family’s. The only brothel in the city, which belongs to the Yue Family, is the Yue Pavilion. Once we arrive there, you’ll see how powerful it really is.” Shisan broke in, correcting Qinghan.

“Oh! Really?” Qinghan showed a bright smile, which had rarely appeared on his face throughout the journey. Actually, he was eager to witness the famous enchantment skill of the Yue Family.
