Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty

"Then come and play with me in the future," the old man said. "You have to make sure to come to find this old man and play another game of chess!"

The old man abruptly reverted to his easygoing, slick-tongued demeanor again. Yue Ran smiled and nodded in response, then turned around and walked out of the teahouse with Long Yuan.

"This world is really not up to us old people to control," the old man said with a sigh.

"What are you talking about, old man?" Li Chang Feng asked doubtfully, not understanding why his master had ended up looking so melancholic and wistful all of a sudden.

The old man sat back down, reached for the gourd of wine tied around his waist, popped the cork that was attached to the container with a string, and took two gulps of the alcoholic drink inside. After doing so, his eyes appeared a little blurry and cold, as if he seemed to have aged a few years in an instant.

"Do you know who the man that is following behind the young lady from earlier is?" the old man asked his apprentice.

"Who is he?" Li Chang Feng raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Do you recognize that man? Where have you met him before? Is he an acquaintance of yours or something?" He paused and then shook his head, saying, "No, that is not possible. You do not look like you can be familiar with the young man or be friends with him since you are already so old, old man."

The elderly man was ticked off by those words that were annoying but accurate. To distract himself from his frustration and drown out his anger, he took a big gulp of his wine.

"Then, are you familiar with the invincible, legendary sword, Long Yuan?" The old man asked his apprentice without directly responding to his query. "Ah, it ought to be referred to as the demonic sword, the Sword of the Demon, in public now."

"Long Yuan? The Sword of the Demon? The demonic sword?" Li Chang Feng repeated those words in question, his tone getting higher and higher with every word he uttered. "What do you want to say? Is the demonic sword not sealed in the southwest?! Are you trying to say that that young man is the Sword of the Demon? Have you seen things wrongly? Are you certain that you are not blinded by your old age already, old man?"

"I can see things clearly, you kid," the old man exclaimed angrily. "I am not blind, and do you really believe that I merely desire to play a simple game of chess with the young lady before?"

"Otherwise?" Li Chang Feng stared at the old man with a blank expression.

The old man: ...

"I... I will definitely beat the living daylights out of you today!" The old man roared out.

"Ah... ack! Ow, old man, why are you even beating me?!"

...

"Long Yuan, do you recognize the old man from before?" Yue Ran inquired.

On the way back to the inn, the young woman casually fiddled with the drooping willow branches on the side of the road.

Long Yuan carefully recalled the appearance of the old man in his mind. He could only remember a very vague impression and nothing else, so he shook his head. He had no idea who he was.

When Yue Ran saw this, she chuckled softly.

"It does not matter," Yue Ran said. "Let us go back quickly. There are still a lot of things we have to do."

...

Three days later, at Lake of Heaven, two young men in long, ink-black robes attracted the attention of the girls around them as soon as they arrived.

The two walked one after the other. The young man in front had a stunning androgynous face that looked very beautiful, but there was still a heroic appearance between his brows and bones. He seemed especially rich and generous. His eyes were raised like a fox's, and a casual smile on his lips could make all the girls around him blush shyly.

The young man behind him was tall and straight, with a broad and strong build, and he looked even more mysterious with a veil covering the bottom half of his face.

"This young master is so handsome," a middle-aged woman came over to compliment the young man in the front. "Is this your first time visiting the Lake of Heaven?"

"Yes, it is indeed my first time," the young man answered with a smile.

This young man in front is Yue Ran, dressed in men's clothing. The powerful and mysterious young man behind her is naturally Long Yuan.

"Oh, dear guest, you came to the right place! We have everything here!" The middle-aged woman came and asked what Yue Ran was interested in: "What musical instruments would you like to hear? Or do you prefer to admire paintings and calligraphy? Or perhaps, do you enjoy the combination of songs and dances more?"

Yue Ran took out a few demon beast crystal cores from her arms and handed them over. The eyes of the middle-aged woman lit up in an instant. She now knew that a distinguished guest had arrived, and the smile on her face turned even more amiable and joyful.

"Is there anything of note here?" Yue Ran inquired.

"Well, those who like to appreciate music, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all in the Grand Day Boat, and those who enjoy singing and dancing are all in the Opulent Dusk Boat," the middle-aged woman said.

The middle-aged woman pointed to the two enormous boats anchored on the lake, which are interconnected by a stable bridge, and explained this to Yue Ran with a smile.

"Oh?" Yue Ran gazed at the two boats before asking, "Then… what does the Violet Dawn Boat offer?"

"Oh, I see where you are going with this." The middle-aged woman winked at Yue Ran and smiled with meaning.
