A Game of Seduction: Power Struggles

Chapter 6:

After three days of travel, Lin Fan and Yu Kuan finally arrived at Xiao Lin City. The city was medium-sized, surrounded by old walls, and featured wide streets paved with stone. Despite being under the control of a second-tier family, the city had gained fame due to a luxurious brothel run by that family.

The Ding family, known for their wealth and influence, capitalized on the fame of their brothel, which was considered one of the finest in the empire. It was said that the brothel housed the most beautiful women, especially the Number 1 Beauty, who was described as possessing beauty comparable to the empire's top 100 women. Additionally, she was a skilled dancer, which attracted the attention of young masters and prominent figures, including experts from the demonic path.

"This city is not just any ordinary place," Lin Fan remarked as he observed the bustling streets. "The allure of beauty here means the twins might have come for the same reason."

Yu Kuan nodded and replied, "Yes, many demonic path experts frequent this place. We need to be cautious, as their presence means there are also plenty of assassins and mercenaries."

Lin Fan continued walking through the streets, ignoring the curious glances of passersby. "Let's gather information about the twins. We need to find them before they slip away from the city."

They headed to one of the city's famous taverns, where information was easily exchanged. Entering the lively atmosphere filled with noise and laughter, dancers swayed gracefully in the center of the room. They settled in a corner, ordering drinks as they listened to the patrons discussing news and rumors.

"Have you heard about the Number 1 Beauty?" one man said loudly, catching Lin Fan and Yu Kuan's attention. "They say her beauty is breathtaking, and she might be connected to the Demonic Twins."

Another man chimed in, "What's stranger is that they booked her for tonight without paying a single coin. It seems they share everything—even the woman."

Lin Fan and Yu Kuan exchanged glances, then Lin Fan smiled slyly. "So, the twins will be at the brothel tonight. After these three days, I've been longing for the taste of a girl."

As evening approached, Lin Fan and Yu Kuan stood outside the brothel, watching the entrance closely. Lights flickered from within, and the sounds of laughter and music filled the air. After a short wait, the twins appeared at the entrance, surrounded by the respect and admiration of the brothel's staff. A broad grin spread across Lin Fan's face.

Upon entering, they were greeted by a vibrant scene filled with colors and lights, as the fragrance of perfumes permeated the air. Dancers moved gracefully, adding to the atmosphere's excitement. But Lin Fan and Yu Kuan ignored the beautiful women who came to greet them, heading straight for the brothel's manager.

"Take us to the Demonic Twins' room," Lin Fan commanded firmly.

The manager tried to refuse politely, saying, "I'm sorry, sir, but I cannot—"

Yu Kuan cut her off, releasing a powerful aura that made her shrink back in fear. It was clear he had reached the fourth layer of the Deep Sky Realm, creating immense pressure on her.

"Very well, I'll show you," she reluctantly agreed, her eyes cast down to avoid meeting his gaze. She led the way, her long black hair flowing behind her, and her luxurious clothes accentuated her curves seductively. But none of that could distract Lin Fan, whose focus was entirely on his goal.

When they finally arrived at the room, Lin Fan kicked the door open, revealing a shocking scene: the Demonic Twins were sitting on the bed, bare-chested, each with a girl in their arms. The provocative clothing of the women highlighted their curves seductively.

In the middle of the room stood a captivating beauty, whose allure rivaled that of Xiao Mi, but her charm was unique. Her long hair swayed with her movements, and her stunning face glowed with enticing colors. She danced gracefully and seductively, her clothes barely holding together under the influence of her enticing dance.

Lin Fan grinned confidently as he took in the scene before him. "Finally, I've found what I was looking for," he whispered to himself, assessing the girl's allure and details of her body, eager for what the night might bring.

"Who do you think you are to barge into my room like this?" Li Qing roared in anger, his eyes flashing with fury as he pushed the girl in his lap aside and stood up. His voice was filled with defiance, and there was no mistaking the disdain for Lin Fan's perceived weakness.

Lin Fan smiled coldly, his icy gaze piercing into Li Qing's eyes. "I'm here to claim what is mine… and the Demonic Twins can't stand in my way."

The tension in the room escalated. The girls began retreating toward the corners, trying to avoid the impending confrontation. One of them was trembling, her eyes filled with fear, while another held her hand over her mouth, too scared to even breathe loudly. Fear was evident in their every movement.

However, Xue Bing, the Number 1 Beauty, stood calmly in the corner, her eyes observing the scene cautiously. Unlike the other girls, she showed no signs of fear. Her confidence in her beauty and allure made her believe that no one would dare touch her. In her mind, she thought clearly: "If the twins defeat this young man, I won't need to worry. But if the opposite happens… I might need to seduce him. He could be my way out of this hell."

She recalled how she had previously attempted to seduce young masters from powerful clans, and although her charms succeeded, their family status never allowed them to take a prostitute like her as a wife. "But with this young man…" she thought as she gazed at him. "If he impresses me tonight, I might change my plans."

The tension between Lin Fan and Li Qing grew as Li Qing took a step forward, sparks flying between them. "You're playing with fire, boy!" Li Qing growled, his voice filled with anger as his twin, Li Mo, stood on the bed, ready for any sudden movements.

Lin Fan showed no signs of concern, smiling mockingly. "You two are the famous Demonic Twins, right? Your reputation seems… overrated." His words were like knives, wounding Li Qing's pride.

In an instant, Li Qing let out a furious shout and charged toward Lin Fan, attacking with all his strength. His speed was impressive, but Lin Fan was prepared. With a swift and fluid move, he easily deflected the attack. In reality, there was no doubt that Lin Fan was in control of the fight.

"Impossible!" Li Qing cried in shock as he staggered back. "You're just a kid in the Qi Condensation Realm… How can you face me?"

Lin Fan said nothing. His cold gaze spoke volumes. It was clear that Li Qing understood something in that moment: "He's a body cultivator…" he muttered quietly as he glanced at his twin, Li Mo. "We need to take him seriously. The only way to beat him is with the Demonic Harmony Art."

Li Mo nodded, ready to use their strongest technique. At that moment, Lin Fan turned to Yu Kuan and said firmly, "Don't let anyone leave this room."
