Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1093 – Slumping to the Floor

Qin Yu faintly smiled and glanced back at her without fear.

Behind the counter, the sweetly smiling demon woman’s eyes flashed with excitement. She said in an impeccable tone, “Honored guest, there is only one room available on the eighth floor, and the guest over there has also just chosen the eighth floor.”

“Oh? She can choose it but I cannot? Is the room ready for her?” Qin Yu tapped his fingers on the countertop.

“The room hasn’t been opened yet. Although that guest was a bit faster than you, according to our rules, if two guests choose the same room and there is no equivalent replacement room, then in order to ensure there is no problem with our services, it would be better if you two came to an agreement.”

The demon woman behind the counter smiled even more brightly. “After all, you two are the most honored guests of our Nine Nether Pagoda. We have no desire to offend either of you.”

The little girl’s tongue was sharp and quick enough. Did she already figure out what he wanted?

Qin Yu laughed outwardly but he shook his head inside. The Nightmare Clan was tyrannically strong and Nine Nether Pagoda was a unique business. Or did she really think everyone was stupid? Who would dare to provoke trouble here?

But instigating trouble was instigating trouble. In any case, he originally came here to stir things up.

As for whether doing this would provoke that cruel and merciless wicked girl and provoke even more trouble for himself…

Hum hum, from her previous attitude, it seemed that she wanted to keep things quiet and settle their issues. If there was trouble on the left and trouble on the right, he may as well get everything out in the open first.

At worst, he would just make her even more annoyed at him.

This was a bit immature, but living sensibly all the time was tiring. Sometimes, it was better to follow one’s heart!

“I will pay double the room cost.” The wicked girl said without expression.

Whether it was the demon woman in front of Qin Yu or the one in front of her, they both revealed excited looks.

Competing with financial resources, bidding against each other, that was what they loved the most!

During this process, according to the rules they would receive a commission based on all extra income generated from it.

The more revenue they brought in, the higher the commission. They were naturally happy to see this.

As for what would happen when their guests regained their composure and might try to take revenge? Hoho, that was just overthinking things.

This was Nine Nether Pagoda.

Nine Nether Pagoda was in Adversity Peak City.

And Adversity Peak City guarded the Nightmare Clan’s ancestral land!

Did you understand it? Yet this was where their confidence came from. While there might be guests who dared to be mad at Nine Nether Pagoda, they hadn’t seen any before.

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and stretched out a finger, “Three times the room cost.”

“Four times.” The wicked girl’s expression was indifferent and her complexion didn’t change. It was as if she was saying she was filthy rich and didn’t care about how many demon crystals she spent.

Qin Yu coldly sneered, “Ten times! That room is mine!”

The wicked girl lightly said, “20 times.”

Behind the counter, the two demon women flushed red and they almost fainted from excitement.

It wasn’t uncommon to compete for a room at Nine Nether Pagoda. But this was the first time the price had been directly increased to 20 times, and especially for a room on the eighth floor.

Although they only silently calculated it, the amount of commission they would earn from this transaction almost caused their hearts to stop. But no matter how their hearts beat, this didn’t stop them from looking at Qin Yu and screaming inwardly.

Raise the price, quickly raise the price!

Didn’t you just say that you wanted that room today no matter what? All of us already heard it, do you plan on going back on your word?

Hehe, then what kind of face would you have left as a man? Hurry up and bid! Whether we’ll be poor or rich in the future all depends on you!

Qin Yu ignored the looks from behind the counter that were so hot they almost melted him. He shook his head and sighed, “Hah, I never thought someone would willingly pay 20 times the price to open up a room on the eighth floor. Tsk tsk, the financial resources required for that are truly praiseworthy.”

He blinked his eyes and his lips curved up in a mocking smile, “Miss, I have a room I just opened less than four hours ago. It is also on the eighth floor. I will give it to you for a discount of only ten times the price. I wonder if you are interested?”

The wicked girl who had an ice cold expression, who didn’t even flinch when raising the bid to 20 times the cost, suddenly stiffened. She glared at Qin Yu, anger rising in her eyes.

“Hahaha!” Qin Yu laughed out loud, slapping his hand against the counter and looking at the demon woman behind it, “Don’t be so stunned. That’s 20 times the room rate. Greed will make you fat, and you have such a beautiful figure that you should try to keep it, right? Before I left I already renewed the room. Please check and give me my room card.”

As he spoke, he glanced again at the wicked girl who had a flushed face and said. “After all, I’m not some rich person who can bid 20 times the room cost. Just this short delay is enough to make me feel distressed.”

The awkward demon woman hurriedly checked. After confirming that there wasn’t a problem, she hurriedly issued him a room card. He stood up and walked away, soon vanishing behind the other side of the door.

The ice cold expression was glued onto him. If looks could kill, Qin Yu would have been torn to pieces by now.

But what a pity, looks couldn’t.

As for the future…if I dared to embarrass you publicly then I’m not afraid of your revenge. But when that time comes, don’t think that things will end so easily.

Once he entered the eighth floor and returned to his room, he abandoned all extraneous thoughts and sat down on the round cushion.

Bang –

Wild soul tempering power instantly arrived. It pierced through the barrier of flesh and blood, covering his soul. His complexion immediately turned white.

Luckily, this process didn’t continue for too long. The Cosmic Seacross Bell activated, diverting half of the soul tempering power.

Most of the suffocating burning feeling dispersed. Although a decent amount was left, it was within his withstanding range.

Hu –

Qin Yu let out a breath, revealing a relaxed expression. With his soul intensity, even he felt great pressure on the eighth floor. Then just how strong were the demons that came to cultivate here?

After all, because of their demon seed bloodline, the strength of a demon could not be directly correlated to their soul force. As he thought about this, his face clouded over.

For instance, that wicked girl who was tricked by him just now. Before and today, he had now seen her twice. This meant that she had the qualifications to cultivate on the eighth floor of Nine Nether Pagoda.

Could it be that I am a natural at provoking trouble? Just by casually bumping into a woman I can turn her into an enemy, and she is the kind that is abnormally strong too!

Qin Yu rubbed his eyebrows and bitterly smiled. In any case, he had already offended her, so thinking about this again was meaningless.

Moreover, he wasn’t someone good to provoke either. While there was a great difference between him and an Abyssal Demon King, if he was in front of one he could still escape.

The strength seized from the shadow world constantly released a yin chill aura that fused together with the soul tempering power. Then, this fused power was absorbed by his soul. There was no need for Qin Yu to interfere in this process, but that didn’t mean he had to waste this time.

Cultivating was like sailing against the current. If one didn’t advance, they would retreat.

And even with Qin Yu’s soul he could obtain considerable advantages with the eighth floor’s soul tempering power. He had to seize this moment.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, immersing himself in his soul. He gradually forgot about his surroundings, entering into an ethereal state.

Cultivation passed without a sense of time. In his blank mind state, he had no idea how much time passed. Ripples suddenly appeared in the lake of his heart, awakening him from his state of immersion.

Then, Qin Yu discovered that the heart of the abyss within his chest was beating quickly.

And faintly, an uneasy feeling was born. It seemed that something bad was about to happen to him.

This caused Qin Yu to frown. His face darkened and he sensed his surroundings, but he couldn’t discover anything wrong.

Since he was within Nine Nether Pagoda, the chances of him suffering an outside attack were near zero.

His connection with the Nightmare Ancestral Land had strengthened a little, but it was still far away from becoming anything substantial.

Then what was this feeling?

Qin Yu placed a hand on his chest. He could clearly feel the heart of the abyss beating quicker and quicker.

Thump –

Thump –

Thump –

In his ears, he could hear the heart of the abyss contracting and inflating, as well as the deep sounds it emitted.

There was a trace of panic and restlessness in its haste.

No, this wasn’t right. Something must have happened. He just hadn’t noticed it yet.

At this moment, Qin Yu looked up and his eyes fell on the door. He could feel something strange coming from outside, as if it were the reason the heart of the abyss was beating so wildly.

Shua –

Qin Yu stood up and walked over to the door. He reached out a hand and opened it. Stepping outside, he could see the woman walking towards him. Her face was red as if she had been drinking wine and her legs wobbled and shook.

Their eyes met, revealing surprise. She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to stabilize herself. But her vision went black and she slumped to the floor. She gasped in great heaving gulps, her body shivering out of control.

Qin Yu hesitated for a moment before he walked over. Sure enough, that wild and completely unreasonable desire surged out from his heart once again, as if a dam had burst open!

He coughed and clenched his jaws together. His face turned red, and blue veins flared up on his neck like ferocious blue snakes.

He reached out and grabbed her, then took a few steps back and slammed the door shut!
