Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

"Fuck!"

Lu Yuguan couldn't help but cry out, obviously frightened by the little baby's words. He quickly covered the baby's mouth, fearing that it would say something outrageous again.

[Ding! The host was detected to have said "Fuck!", and the civilization value was deducted by one point!]

The system's prompt sound arrived late.

Lu Yuguan: ...

The little baby was held by Lu Yuguan, and did not struggle. Instead, he curiously stuck out his tongue and licked Lu Yuguan's fingers.

"It's so itchy, hahahaha..." Lu Yuguan's fingers were itchy from being licked, so he had to let go of the baby.

The little porcelain doll in front of me has pink and tender skin, a cute look, and is wearing a small red bellyband. She looks very pleasing.

"Mother——!"

The little baby still cried in a soft voice.

Lu Yuguan was about to take action to stop it, but he had just had his civilization value deducted. Now he had learned his lesson and could only hustle to signal the little baby to keep his voice down.

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, I'm not your mother." Lu Yuguan explained to the baby.

The little baby blinked his eyes in grievance and whispered, "But...but I came out of my mother's belly, so you must be my mother."

"In my stomach?" Lu Yuguan asked in surprise.

He looked at his flat belly. He didn't feel any bloating or swelling in his belly when he was practicing just now. Why did this little baby insist that it came out of his belly?

"Little boy, are you sure you came out of my belly?"

Lu Yuguan pointed to his stomach and couldn't help asking.

The little baby said with certainty: "Yes, I came out of my mother's belly."

"How did you get out?"

Lu Yuguan was speechless. It was impossible for a grown man like him to give birth to a baby!

"That's it... and then... that—"

The little baby was anxious because of Lu Yuguan's question, and immediately started to demonstrate on the spot.

It turned into a green light, and with a whoosh, it went into Lu Yuguan's belly button and disappeared.

I'm such a living person!

No one would believe it if it were a magic trick, right?

Lu Yuguan was completely shocked and couldn't say anything at this moment.

"Could it be that my belly button has become a spirit?" Lu Yuguan couldn't help but think so.

[Host, could this be the effect of a new technique?]

The system couldn't help it and started to give a prompt.

Lu Yuguan's eyes lit up, and he carefully felt the spiritual sea. Sure enough, there was a delicate and transparent little doll, like crystal.

After a moment, green light flew out from Lu Yuguan's belly button again and turned into a cute little doll again.

"Mom, do you believe it now?" the little baby said seriously.

"Oh, my little baby!"

Lu Yuguan accepted this setting instantly, and excitedly held the baby's face and began to rub it hard.

"What should I call you?"

Lu Yuguan was already thinking about the child's name, and the system couldn't help but complain.

[Why don't you ask what this wood spirit is called? What if it has a name?]

"What should I call it..." Lu Yuguan fell into thought.

Can you ask your child's opinion first?

"How about calling him Goudan? A cheap name will make him easier to raise..."

[…Can you at least make something nicer? ]

[I think calling her Xiao Yuyu is a good choice. It also suits your name.]

"Hiss—how about the whole English name?"

【…】

The system was completely speechless.

"Ah, I see," Lu Yuguan suddenly had an idea and asked the little baby, "Girl, do you know what your name is?"

system:……

If it hadn't been for the lack of a physical entity, the system would have really wanted to pry open Lu Yuguan's head with a hammer to see what was inside.

"Mother, don't you know?" the little baby said innocently, sucking his fingers. "My name is Xiao Yuyu."

Lu Yuguan:?

system:?

"How do you know your name is Xiaoyu?" Lu Yuguan asked with a twitch of his mouth.

The little baby said softly, "I heard Daddy say it. Wasn't it Daddy who gave the name?"

After these words were spoken, Lu Yuguan and the system were a little stunned.

What does it mean?

Can the little wood spirit trained by the technique still hear what the system says?

"Tong-chan, can this situation be explained?" Lu Yuguan muttered to himself.

The system did not respond to Lu Yuguan's question, but tentatively asked Xiao Yuyu, "Xiao Yuyu, what is one plus one?"

I saw Xiao Mu Ling frowning and counting on his fingers, trying hard to calculate.

[Okay, forget it.] The system said helplessly.

"Thank you, Dad. You still love me."

Only then did Xiao Yuyu relax her brows and loosen her fingers.

"Tong, you can even be discovered?" Lu Yuguan said sarcastically.

"No, no, I can only hear the voice that my mother hears. I don't know where my father is." Xiao Yuyu felt very aggrieved and said honestly.

Only then did Lu Yuguan understand that it was not Xiao Mu Ling who could communicate with the system, but that he could share hearing with him.

【That makes sense.】

The system said with confidence.

Lu Yuguan looked at Xiao Yuyu. The feeling of being a mother was really novel.

But it doesn’t seem bad?

"Tongjiang, we have a child." Lu Yuguan said affectionately.

[…] The system is silent.

"Are you trying to shirk your responsibilities as a father?" Lu Yuguan said excitedly.

[Are you trying to deduct my civilization points again?] The system said coldly.

"Oh, Tong, you are just talking nonsense..." Lu Yuguan said softly with a charming look in her eyes.

system:……

Taking back what I said before, you can’t just swing the hammer, you have to use a hydraulic press to see how much water is in Lu Yuguan’s brain.

Lu Yuguan felt the connection with Xiao Yuyu and discovered that his daughter not only had the strength of the sixth stage of the Dust Transformation Stage, but could also transform into a spirit body that could only be broken up and could not be destroyed unless Lu Yuguan himself died.

After taking Xiao Yuyu back into his body, Lu Yuguan tidied himself up and returned to the group.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone packed up their things and drove their carriage back to Kyoto.

Hongdie didn't want to trouble Lu Yuguan and insisted on going back to Qianhua Tower by herself, but Lu Yuguan was afraid that someone would take revenge on her, so he insisted on taking her to Bai Mansion to spend the night first, and then go to Qianhua Tower together the next day.

Hongdie was so grateful that she had nothing to say, and her awe for Lu Yuguan reached a new level.

Kyoto Flower Street, Zuixianlou.

Since the largest brothel, Qianhualou, was shut down for restructuring, the second most famous brothel, Zuixianlou, has benefited greatly. Some of the customers lost by Qianhualou were recruited by Zuixianlou.

But even so, some people are still dissatisfied with Zuixianlou.

After all, the Seven Fairies of Qianhua Tower are the Qingniang that countless men dream about.

"Little Mama, the master upstairs isn't happy with our girls. He's been smashing plates and throwing teapots, making the girls afraid to continue singing. Come and have a look!"

The servant of Zuixianlou hurried down from upstairs and reported to the madam of Zuixianlou.

The madam glared at him with disdain and covered her nose with her handkerchief in a filthy manner.

"What are you in such a hurry for?" The madam frowned, her nose twitching as if she smelled something strange. "What's that smell on you? Go wash up!"

The servant said pitifully, "The gentleman upstairs poured a bowl of wine on my head and said it was a reward."

"Get out of here now."

The madam waved her handkerchief, as if to disperse the smell of grease and alcohol in the air.

The servant left dejectedly, and the madam pointed at a few idle girls nearby and motioned them to go up and entertain the guests.

Zuixianlou was unlike other brothels; it was more of a place for drinkers to enjoy a drink. For this reason, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries would come there under the guise of drinking to enjoy a night of pleasure.

Before the madam could take a break, a ferocious-looking man slowly appeared at the back door of Zuixianlou. He was the one who had been fighting with Lu Yuguan.

The madam saw him, walked across the crowded table, and twisted her bloated body towards the back door.

She looked around past the gangster and suddenly became angry.

"Bullshit, you coward!" The madam immediately became angry, her originally short body shaking like a duck. "Didn't they say it was foolproof? Where are the people?"

"He ran away." Hu Ba said in a muffled voice.

"What a shabby thing!" The madam looked at his face and said suspiciously, "Could it be that you hid the red butterfly and didn't want to give it to me?"

Hu Ba immediately lost his temper and shouted at the madam, "Ma Pozi, don't frame me! I, Hu Ba, have been doing this dirty work for you for so long, and I've never fooled you!"

Ma Pozi looked Hu Ba up and down and said, "With a big guy like you, how can you let her escape? What? Can she turn into a bird and fly?"

Hu Ba held his breath and told Ma Pozi everything that had happened during the day.

"Where did this brat come from, daring to ruin the good deeds of my Zuixianlou?"

Ma Pozi's face wrinkled and became even uglier.

She placed her hands on her chest and said confidently, "It's okay. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to go to Qianhua Tower myself and take a look. I don't believe I can't rescue the person!"

Before the two of them could finish their words, the girls who had gone upstairs to serve came down with gloomy faces.

"What's wrong with you? Do you want to be whipped for not taking good care of that gentleman?" Ma Pozi cursed and turned around to whip them.

The girls were immediately frightened and pale, and hurriedly explained: "It's not that we didn't serve, but that young master said we are not as good as those in Qianhua Tower, and asked us to leave. It would be unlucky to stay there."

This really made Ma Pozi unhappy, but she had no place to vent her anger.

Ma Pozi rolled her eyes at them and said, "Alright, forget about it. I'll go ask this gentleman myself."

The top floor of Zuixianlou is reserved for high-ranking officials in Kyoto. Although it is not explicitly stated, frequent guests are already familiar with this rule.

"Get out, get out, all of you, get out!"

As soon as Ma Pozi walked outside the door, she heard sounds of beating and scolding coming from inside. When she pushed the door open, she saw broken porcelain pieces all over the floor and a strong smell of alcohol in the air.

The young man sitting in the upper seat had red eyes at this moment, and the luxurious clothes he was wearing were all wrinkled.

"Hey, sir, if you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me. Why bother making things difficult for the girls of our Zuixianlou?" said Ma Pozi with a smile on her face.

The drunk young man's face was flushed and he seemed to be still angry.

He pointed at Ma Pozi impatiently and said, "Didn't you say to invite the best girl in your building? How come there isn't even a decent beauty here?!"

Ma Pozi didn't dare to say anything more and could only smile and say: "Sir, all the pretty girls in the building have been beaten down by you... This..."

"Get out! Then get off the stairs too. Don't let me see you and make me upset!" The drunken man slumped in his chair and cursed.

Seeing this, Mapo had no choice but to ask the remaining girls in the room to leave quickly, then closed the door and shouted inside: "Then we won't disturb you, sir, you should have a good rest." After that, she went downstairs with a grim look on her face.

The room became quiet, with only the man slumped in the chair, feeling lost.

He pulled out a folded piece of paper from his pocket. The paper was already wrinkled, obviously folded many times. He carefully opened it and found a portrait of a woman. Upon closer inspection, it was actually Lu Yuguan wearing the Thousand Machine Ice Silk Gauze!

The man stretched out his fingers and carefully stroked the face in the portrait, as if he were intoxicated.

"Oh, angel, angel!" He muttered to himself as if possessed. "Since that day we parted, I, Shangguan Qi, have searched all over Kyoto, but I haven't seen your face since..."

"Are we destined to be apart..."

The next morning, Lu Yuguan took Hongdie back to Qianhua Tower.

Because Bai Ming secretly went out without telling the Second Madam, he had to be lectured again. Bai Doudou and others were also called by the elders to do things, leaving Lu Yuguan alone and free.

"What a sweet burden."

Looking at Bai Ming's ears being pulled red from afar, Lu Yuguan couldn't help but be shocked.

The two men got on a carriage, and the driver was the butler Zhao Si.

"Third Young Master, next time you go out, remember to tell me," Butler Zhao raised the whip and the carriage slowly started. "Although I am old, I can still do some odd jobs."

Lu Yuguan felt warm in his heart after hearing this. He knew that Housekeeper Zhao had taken care of his mother before him and was also very good to him.

"Hehe, I'll definitely do it next time." Lu Yuguan said, touching his head.

Hongdie sat opposite Lu Yuguan and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Last night, the young master let him sleep with Daiyu and Qingwen. The two maids told her so many stories about the young master's heroic deeds that she didn't dare to look directly at Lu Yuguan.

"Hongdie, what's the current situation at Qianhua Tower?"

Lu Yu was thinking about the 28 civilization values of the mission, so naturally he had to be fully prepared.

Hongdie sighed and said, "Now, apart from the seven of us sisters, there are only two guys left in the kitchen."

"Nine people are enough, no need for so many." Lu Yuguan said confidently.

Hongdie looked at Lu Yuguan and couldn't help but wonder, "Young Master, Qianhualou used to have around a hundred people. Now they've all left and dispersed. How can we keep it open?"

Lu Yuguan interrupted Hongdie and kept her in suspense.

"Who said I'm going to open the Flower Tower?"

"Ah?" Hongdie was confused.

She didn't know what else she and others could do besides singing and performing.

The carriage slowly drove to the gate of Qianhua Tower. Lu Yuguan got out of the car and saw two seals on the door. It was really deserted.

"Young Master, come this way." Hongdie whispered to Lu Yuguan, and then led him to an alley nearby.

There was a gap in the wall at the end that was just the size of a person, big enough for two people to fit in.

Just as Lu Yuguan followed Hongdie inside, he heard a stuttering voice: "Sister Hong...Sister Hongdie, there are bad...bad guys!"

Before Lu Yuguan could react, a wooden stick hit him.

"Don't! That's our young master!——"
