However, the most alluring and unforgettable place is the Nine-Eyed Square, which features brothels and inns. Those ladies truly have figures both slender and round, dressed in..."
"Uncle Zhang!!" Chen Ling beside him interrupted Zhang Yan with a tone full of reproach.
Zhang Yan quickly put away his lascivious expression, coughed twice, and said, "Hero, I don’t know your name yet. Your honorable surname?"

Using a pseudonym while traveling is much safer.
"Brother Lu, is it okay to call you that?"
"Whatever."
Seeing that Lu Ren didn’t mind, Zhang Yan was overjoyed and said: "We’ve been in the Underworld for so long, already starving; let me host today, shall we grab something nice?"
Lu Ren nodded: "Sure."
Zhang Yan found a restaurant, ordered a full table of dishes, then stood and patted the wooden box containing Cold Condensing Grass, laughed: "Brother Lu, take your time eating, I’ll be back soon, won’t take long at all!"
Then he turned to Chen Ling and said: "Little Ling’er, accompany Brother Lu well here, don’t offend him!"
