I Can Extract Divine Power

He then prepared to throw away the ball of red paper.

But just as the red paper was about to leave his hand, it suddenly flashed with a brilliant light.

After the flash, the red paper instantly vanished.

Shen Bai reacted with extreme speed, drawing Cold Moon from his waist with a wary expression.

The next moment, a gentle breeze stirred, but nothing happened.

"What was that just now?"

Shen Bai frowned.

He was certain he hadn’t seen wrong—the red paper had indeed flashed with some kind of light.

But after it flashed, nothing unusual occurred.

That, in itself, was the most unusual thing of all.

"Amber, did you feel anything?" Shen Bai asked.

Amber poked her head out from Shen Bai’s chest, shook her delicate little head, and said, "Master, I didn’t feel anything, but this is the Mysterious City. You must be careful."

Shen Bai nodded. "Alright, I understand. You should go back in for now. We’ll deal with whatever happens next as it comes."

Amber obediently burrowed back into his body.

Shen Bai stood in place, thinking carefully for a moment. Then, he raised his fingers and activated his Divination Divine Power, beginning a meticulous calculation.

Although it seemed like nothing had happened, the flash of light had been real. He wanted to see if he could divine any problems.

But immediately after, Shen Bai discovered that his Level 4 Divination Divine Power was completely incapable of calculating an answer.

’After I grind the Mixed Element Array-Breaking Technique to Level 6, maybe I can pause my progress on the other Divine Powers and focus on leveling up my Divination Skill,’ Shen Bai thought.

Compared to his other Divine Powers, his Divination Divine Power was indeed a bit low-level.

The stronger he became, the harder divination would be. Improving this Divine Power, while not offering a direct boost in combat strength, would be more useful when facing plots and schemes.

Having made up his mind, and with no new clues from his divination, Shen Bai decided not to linger on it.

After all, his time inside was limited.

With this in mind, he put the matter aside for now. Holding Cold Moon, he followed the ruined street and gradually walked away.

But after Shen Bai left, the red paper, which had seemingly turned to smoke, suddenly condensed again in mid-air.

Immediately after, an image of Shen Bai appeared on the red paper.

A moment later, the red paper drifted off in a specific direction before gradually fading from sight.

...

Shen Bai had no idea what happened after he left, because he had already arrived on another street.

He hadn’t expected it to be so fast.

The moment he left the ruined area, the scene before him instantly transformed into a bustling spectacle.

However, this bustling scene was completely different from what he had imagined.

Ahead, a street was lined with towering buildings.

And in front of each tall building, women dressed in light gauze were sensuously swaying their bodies.

Each woman held a round fan in her left hand and a silk scarf in her right, striking a coquettish pose.

The names on the plaques of each building were also enough to set one’s imagination running wild.

Chunxiao Building, Lichun Garden, Salivating Square, Yixiang Courtyard...

Any normal man would know what went on inside places with names like these.

’So, back in the day, the Mysterious City had such a prosperous Land of Wind and Moon. A true Holy Land for men,’ Shen Bai thought, stroking his chin.

This entire street was filled with pleasure quarters, the kind that would make any man’s face flush and his heart race.

Those women, who reeked of decay yet looked like living people, were dressed revealingly.

If an ordinary person, unable to discern the stench of decay on them, were to step onto this street, they would likely be instantly captivated and lose their bearings.

Shen Bai thought for a moment and was about to take a closer look.

Unexpectedly, Amber’s head popped out from his chest again.

Lately, Amber had been coming out for shorter periods because Shen Bai had been relentlessly grinding.

But for that very reason, Amber was becoming more and more mischievous.

If this happened on a public street, it would probably scare someone half to death.

"What are you doing out here again?" Shen Bai asked.

Amber pouted her rosy lips and whispered, "Master, those women all have a stench of decay about them. They’re fake. You mustn’t let them bewitch you."

"They’re not even as lively and cute as I am."

Shen Bai helplessly stroked Amber’s ear and said, "Don’t worry. I’m no ordinary man. How could I be bewitched by them?"

Amber’s eyes darted around. She glanced at the women in light gauze on the street and pouted fiercely. "So what if their clothes are a little thin? I can do that too. They’re all just a bunch of vulgar women."

Before Shen Bai could reply, she dove straight back into his chest and vanished again.

Shen Bai felt a bit helpless in the face of Amber’s mischievousness.

But he didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he gripped Cold Moon and stepped onto the Street of Wind and Moon.

The moment Shen Bai set foot on the Street of Wind and Moon, the already lively scene became even more animated.

Shen Bai could feel the gazes of all the flamboyant, gauze-clad women in front of the buildings turn toward him.

A hand reached out in front of Shen Bai, blocking his path.

A young woman, emanating a stench of decay, let her gaze wander over him. She stroked her own fair, tender face and looked at Shen Bai with a charming smile.

"Sir, I don’t recognize your face. This must be your first time on Fengyue Street, isn’t it? Why don’t you come see our Yixiang Building?"

When this woman stepped forward, the other pleasure houses all looked over, but none of them approached.

A faint smile touched Shen Bai’s lips. He looked at the enormous Yixiang Building and said lightly, "I wonder what the prices are like to enter your establishment, and what form of payment you require."

The gauze-clad woman covered her mouth with her hand and giggled. "Oh, no need for that. Here on Fengyue Street, it’s all about pleasure."

"We never ask our guests to pay. Everything we offer is free. Pleasure is the most important thing, isn’t it?"

It was the first time Shen Bai had ever heard the word "free" in a place like this.

But his next words made the gauze-clad woman’s brain short-circuit.

"What you get for free is always the most expensive."

Shen Bai said with a very serious expression.
