Chapter 16

In the Quiet Water Bar, some seats are referred to as premium seats, which the bar owner intentionally keeps available.

Once the bar is crowded, these premium seats become highly sought after. To secure one of these seats, one must pay extra.

This can be considered a rather effective marketing strategy. Of course, the extra money is not insignificant. Although Meng De wore a smile, he secretly felt a bit pained.

Following the bar attendant, they sat down. The music was deafening, as if it were drowning out the crowd.

The three of them ordered a few fruit platters and a few bottles of red wine.

Qin Xuan felt a warm feeling in his heart. These items were not much to him, but they must have cost around three thousand yuan. Even Meng De, who was smiling, must have felt a bit pained, but he didn't show it.

"Xuanzi, come, have some wine!" Meng De chuckled, opened the red wine, and poured a glass for Qin Xuan.

Li Mengmeng, who had been with them, had been frowning slightly since they entered. Her frown deepened even more after Meng De placed the order.

"That's right, Qin Xuan. This time, you're heartbroken, and Meng De has spent a lot. Don't let his kindness go to waste," Li Mengmeng said with a hint of sarcasm.

Qin Xuan smiled, picked up his glass, and took a sip.

At that moment, a few people walked by, led by a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was around thirty, with slicked-back hair and a smug smile. He strutted around arrogantly, and as he passed, he casually groped a woman's buttocks.

The woman turned around, her face full of anger, but when she saw who it was, her expression changed, and she dared not say a word.

"Xuanzi, what are you looking at?" Meng De followed his gaze, his expression froze, and he said, "Don't provoke that guy. He's the manager of the TK Bar, Chu Ze."

"Chu Ze?" Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Even as a manager, no one can control him?"

Meng De laughed bitterly and shook his head. "Who dares to? You know Chu Mei, right? She's the woman of Mo Yunlong, a big shot in our city. Chu Ze is Chu Mei's brother, and also Mo Yunlong's brother-in-law. Who would risk their life to control him?"

"Chu Mei's brother?" Qin Xuan frowned, recalling the seductive woman.

After they finished eating and drinking, Meng De and Li Mengmeng's faces started to turn slightly red.

Then, Meng De and Li Mengmeng rushed into the dance floor, moving their bodies to the music. Li Mengmeng, who had seemed elegant before, turned out to be even more lively than Meng De.

Meng De tried to pull Qin Xuan to join them, but Qin Xuan refused.

Meng De was still hesitant but was dragged into the dance floor by Li Mengmeng.

Qin Xuan sat quietly on the side. His gaze was not on Meng De and Li Mengmeng but on a woman in the bar.

At the bar counter, a woman sat there, her stunning figure attracting the attention of many. She seemed to have had a lot of drinks, her beautiful face flushed, adding a touch of allure to her otherwise cold and elegant appearance.

Many people were already eager to approach her, but they were quickly stopped by the TK Bar staff. Even in the TK Bar, a woman of this caliber was rare. Those who tried to approach her were quickly subdued by the staff.

Many people realized that Chu Ze had his eyes on this woman, and no one dared to compete with him.

As for Qin Xuan, he was not interested in the woman's beauty or figure. What caught his attention was the faint spiritual aura emanating from her chest.

"Is it a spirit crystal?"

Qin Xuan's eyes gleamed. Although it was only a low-grade spirit crystal, it was still very important to him.

A low-grade spirit crystal was enough to double his cultivation, and with this crystal, he could enter the Body Refinement stage and begin to cultivate the Eternal Spring Body.

In the Qi Condensation Realm, the Eternal Spring Technique is divided into three stages: Sea Gathering, Golden Body, and Divine Power.

Each step requires a large amount of spiritual energy, and the existence of spirit crystals is essential for cultivators in the cultivation world, as they can speed up cultivation.

Finally, when the woman was almost drunk and was about to leave, Chu Ze made his move.

He signaled a few staff members to stop her, then walked over confidently.

"You... what are you doing?" The woman swayed, her pupils dilated, clearly disoriented.

"Ma'am, you seem to have had too much to drink. Would you like me to take you home?" Chu Ze smiled, trying to look kind.

The woman looked up at Chu Ze and waved her hand. "No... no need, I can go home by myself!"

She tried to push Chu Ze away, but she was already too weak from the alcohol.

Chu Ze's eyes gleamed, and two female staff members immediately supported the woman, their faces showing a hint of sympathy.

They all knew that the woman would not escape Chu Ze's clutches tonight.

She could only blame her beauty for catching Chu Ze's eye.

"Let... let me go!" The woman shouted, and some people around her shook their heads, not only not stopping but also stepping aside to clear a path.

That was Chu Ze, Mo Yunlong's brother-in-law. Who would dare to provoke him? It would be suicide.

Meng De and Li Mengmeng had also grown tired of dancing and returned to Qin Xuan, following his gaze.

"Xuanzi, don't be impulsive. We can't afford to provoke Chu Ze!" Meng De quickly said, sensing something was wrong. If Qin Xuan acted rashly, it would be disastrous.

"Can't afford to provoke him?"

Qin Xuan shook his head and slowly stood up, walking towards Chu Ze, much to Meng De's shock.

Chu Ze was excited, thinking it was a stroke of luck to encounter such a beauty.

"Hey, Xuanzi!" Meng De's face changed, and he quickly stood up.

"Why do you care? If he wants to die, do you want to die too?" Li Mengmeng grabbed Meng De, her face filled with disdain. "He doesn't know who Chu Ze is. He wants to be a hero, but he doesn't even know his own limits."

She had had a bit to drink and blurted out everything. Besides, in the loud music, she didn't think Qin Xuan could hear her.

"Are you saying I should just watch him die?" Meng De turned and shouted angrily.

"You... you dare to shout at me?" Li Mengmeng was stunned, her face filled with shock and anger.

Meng De shook off Li Mengmeng's hand and ran after Qin Xuan.

Chu Ze was about to have his way and was eager to have the woman taken away.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, silencing the crowd.

"Let her go!"

With just three words, Chu Ze's face darkened, and he turned to look around coldly.

"Who the hell dares to interfere with my business? Do you want to die?"

Chu Ze snorted, and a few burly men quickly gathered around him.

Finally, Chu Ze's gaze settled on Qin Xuan. He raised his head arrogantly and said, "Brat, were those your words?"

Qin Xuan glanced at Chu Ze indifferently and said, "So what if they were?"

As soon as the words were out, the crowd immediately backed away, afraid of any association with Qin Xuan.

Amidst the loud music, everyone had the same thought.

Is this guy crazy?
