“It’s simple, just find a woman to sleep with and replenish some Yin energy. That should relieve the pain,” said Hun Yuanzi, as if it were easy. “If you don’t find a woman soon, the fire of True Yang will backfire faster. Within a week, before anyone even catches you, you’ll be dead.”
“Find a woman?” Yang Hao could only scratch his head. “Where in this vast space am I supposed to find a woman?”
“That’s not my problem. I reminded you earlier to bring a few beauties onto the spaceship, but you insisted it would be inappropriate,” Hun Yuanzi yawned and rolled over, preparing to sleep again. “In the end, it’s better to have some ‘inappropriateness’ than to lose your life.”
Yang Hao felt his head swell. The only decent woman aboard the spaceship was Shi Mingyuan, but she was now in a vegetative state. Whether she even had Yin energy was questionable, and Yang Hao certainly couldn’t bring himself to do anything to her. As for the girls in the Hao Sword Group, there were quite a few young ones, but most weren’t even adults yet, and they all looked up to Yang Hao like an idol. He couldn’t possibly reveal his lecherous side and ruin his image.
“What’s wrong? Need some help?” Long Yun, seeing Yang Hao’s troubled expression, came over pretending to be a good guy.
Yang Hao nearly jumped in fright and almost kicked the big fool over. If he asked this black iron pillar for help, Yang Hao might as well say goodbye to his arms. In this day and age, even if male beauty was popular, it certainly wouldn’t extend to him.
X13 burst into laughter. The robot could hear Hun Yuanzi’s words and basically understood the situation. Judging from its expression, it really looked forward to letting Long Yun help Yang Hao.
Yang Hao was furious. He grabbed X13 and growled, “You’d better think of a solution fast, or I’ll toss you into the nuclear fusion furnace for recycling!”
“What’s that got to do with me!” X13 tried to escape but was tightly gripped by Yang Hao. “Why be so rough? We’re civilized people. Let’s talk nicely.”
Yang Hao grinned, his eyes flashing with menace.
X13 finally raised its hands in surrender. “Okay, okay, I give up. I have a solution, I have a solution.”
“Then speak up!”
“While I was studying the star map earlier, I noticed that there’s a branch of Lingfei Star Sea about half a light-year away from this star cluster,” X13 hurriedly said.
“Lingfei Star Sea? You mean the largest chain brothel in the universe?” Long Yun rolled up his sleeves, getting excited. “Old Yang, you’re going to visit a brothel? When there’s fun, bring your buddy along!”
“I’ll fly the ship right now!” X13 seized the opportunity to escape Yang Hao’s grip. “The Doomsday can get there in just a few hours!”
“Wait, wait!” Yang Hao quickly used the Feihua Huayin Divine Technique to block the door. He forced a smile onto his face. “No need for all that trouble. I’ll go alone.”
“Why?” X13 and Long Yun asked in unison.
“Why?” Yang Hao really didn’t know how to explain. But the moment he imagined a mobile battle fortress in space, carrying hundreds of kids galloping off to a brothel, he felt a chill run down his neck.
The world must have gone mad.
Yang Hao was piloting a small shuttlecraft and had already been flying for nearly five hours. He had to work hard to convince Long Yun not to follow him to Lingfei Star Sea. Truth be told, although Yang Hao was flying toward the universe’s most famous den of vice, his expression was as gloomy as if he were going to face execution.
By now, Lingfei Star Sea had become the top brand in the universe. In some places, it was even more famous than the Empire itself. The slogan of Lingfei Star Sea was “A branch in every star system.”
And indeed, wherever the Empire’s ships could reach, one could always spot the giant logo of Lingfei Star Sea.
Each branch of Lingfei Star Sea represented the highest level of luxury and sensual indulgence in that star system. Inside, one could find high-end beauties like those produced by the Angel Star, or the cheapest local women from the system. As long as one had money, one could find a woman to one’s liking. No matter which branch of Lingfei Star Sea one visited, it was always filled with music and laughter, never closing, never lacking customers.
But today seemed to be an exception.
When Yang Hao finally reached his expected destination, he seriously doubted whether the massive structure before him was truly the legendary Lingfei Star Sea. Before Yang Hao floated a huge, gray-colored space station. Entirely made of alloy, the station looked like a sealed barrel, floating silently in the cold void of space, giving off a distinctly eerie vibe.
Although the giant logo of Lingfei Star Sea was clearly painted on the top of the station, it was still hard to believe. The place was completely deserted, not even a single spaceship in sight. It was a far cry from the usual bustling scenes associated with Lingfei Star Sea.
Yang Hao felt uneasy. He had always been timid and afraid of the dark; even going to the bathroom alone at night made him feel uneasy. Now, he was about to enter a place in space that looked like a haunted house.
But Hun Yuanzi kept nagging, constantly reminding Yang Hao of the crisis he faced. But Yang Hao knew the old ghost all too well—he was just excited because he hadn’t peeped at women for a long time.
The shuttlecraft automatically docked at the station’s hangar. Alone, Yang Hao walked through the long corridor. It was eerily silent here; even the sound of his footsteps echoed for a long time.
The more he walked, the more uneasy he felt. “Old man, why isn’t there a single person here?”
Hun Yuanzi was also puzzled. “Maybe we came at a bad time, and all the girls are sleeping?”
“Sleep my foot! You old pervert, always thinking about girls. I feel like something’s wrong here. Could there be ghosts?”
Hun Yuanzi tried to comfort him. “Relax, there are no ghosts in this world. Don’t scare yourself.”
“Okay,” Yang Hao nodded, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly realized something. “Wait, what do you mean there are no ghosts? Aren’t you a ghost yourself? You’re a thousand-year-old ghost! How can a ghost say there are no ghosts in the world? That’s too ridiculous!”
Hun Yuanzi was taken aback, as if he had just realized it himself. He awkwardly chuckled. “Forget it, forget it. Let’s not talk about this. Just use your Sensitivity Art to sense where the beauties are. Don’t waste time.”
Yang Hao had no choice but to expend energy and use his Sensitivity Art. He closed his eyes and carefully observed the surrounding changes, staying silent for a long time.
After waiting for a while, Hun Yuanzi finally got impatient. “Hey, you idiot apprentice, did you sense anything yet?”
“I did!” Yang Hao suddenly opened his eyes.
“Where are the beauties?” Hun Yuanzi drooled.
“Not beauties—danger!!” Yang Hao shouted nervously. After using his Sensitivity Art, he hadn’t sensed what he was looking for, but instead had a strong feeling of danger.
