Chapter 2719: Chapter 2739: Eyes Don’t Lie

Lin Chen sat in his place, curiously looking around.

To his left and right, some guests were busy talking to the beautiful handmaids beside them, some were drinking alone, and others were chatting.

Lin Chen’s eyes swept over the entire hall, feeling quite puzzled internally.

Although these handmaids weren’t as powerful as the twenty pretty women who had greeted visitors at the sect’s entrance, they were all above immortals, with most at the Human Immortal stage and a few at the Earth Immortal stage.

Now possessing the stature of female immortals, they were serving the guests like brothel women, even when some lecherous guests’ hands became inappropriate, yet they dodged with giggles, showing no sign of anger on their faces.

Were they not angry, or did they not dare to be angry?

Just how powerful was the force behind Gathering Immortal Island, and how many people were involved, discerning from this display, there were at least a thousand serving female immortals!

Were these female immortals specially cultivated by Gathering Immortal Island as a deliberate means to entice cultivators, all of them exceedingly beautiful and intentionally flattering, and how many guests could resist that?

A sect with considerable strength, yet specifically cultivating so many female immortals to seduce cultivators with their bodies, seemed somewhat questionable.

Did a formidable Xianmen really need to resort to such means?

While Lin Chen was contemplating, a tall handmaid appeared at the entrance of the Main Hall, leading two others carrying fine dishes and wine, and headed straight to Lin Chen’s table.

The handmaid bowed slightly towards Lin Chen, "Young Master, hello, I am Guan Xia, the handmaid you’ve chosen. I will be servicing you for the following period."

Lin Chen looked up, his gaze landing on the handmaid’s face, and he paused slightly.

The handmaids in the hall were either graceful, gorgeous, charming, or voluptuous—each with their own beauty—but the woman before him, although tall, had quite an ordinary face.

If this woman were placed among the myriad women of The World, she might still be considered quite lovely, but she paled in comparison to the beauty of the women in the Main Hall.

Lin Chen’s thoughts flashed to the wooden hairpin that had represented her and suddenly felt that the woman’s temperament was very similar to that simple and unadorned wooden hairpin.

Lin Chen’s face bore a serene smile while his mind was busy, "Miss Guan, thank you for your trouble."

Guan Xia nodded lightly, moving with a calm demeanor around the table to Lin Chen’s side, softly directing the two handmaids to set down the dishes and wine before gracefully sitting beside him.

Guan Xia picked up the wine pot to pour Lin Chen a drink, leaning slightly towards him, and a faint fragrance wafted into Lin Chen’s nostrils.

"Young Master, this is the immortal wine ’Orchid Fragrance,’ a specialty of Gathering Immortal Island. Regular consumption can improve your physique, reduce the likelihood of Inner Demons emerging, and assist in dealing with the Thunder Tribulation when Breaking the Realm..." Guan Xia explained, filling her own cup as well, setting down the wine pot and lifting her cup, "Guan Xia toasts the Young Master."

Lin Chen held up his cup and clinked it with Guan Xia’s, smiling, "There’s no need to trouble yourself, Miss, I can pour for myself just fine."

Guan Xia drained her cup in one gulp, smiled, and said, "As an honored guest, I must serve you well, Young Master, or I’ll be punished."

Lin Chen glanced at Guan Xia and noticed that her expression seemed a bit stiff, as if she was worried and somewhat distressed.

"Well then, thank you for your effort!"

Lin Chen wasn’t sure what standards Gathering Immortal Island set for these handmaids, but he didn’t want to cause her to suffer any consequences because of him, so he promptly nodded, then raised his cup and poured the wine down his throat.

As the Immortal Wine entered his belly, a pure and Magnificent energy was released from it, spreading rapidly through his body, giving Lin Chen a very special feeling of comfort.

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened, indeed it was a rare top-grade Immortal Wine!

"Fine wine, can I drink as much as I want?"

Guan Xia replied, "During the Gathering of Immortals Meet, all delicacies are for your enjoyment. These things are hard to come by in the outside world, but here on Gathering Immortal Island, they are not considered precious."

Lin Chen inquired nonchalantly, "And if one chooses to stay behind, are these delicacies, Immortal Wine, and even the handmaids always available?"

A very subtle coldness flashed in Guan Xia’s eyes as she smiled in response, "The Immortal Wine and delicacies are certainly available. As for the handmaids, it depends on the Young Master’s ability. If your strength is great enough, if your contributions are significant enough, not just one handmaid but even ten wouldn’t be an issue."

Lin Chen nodded, but did not ask the foolish question, "You all have such strength and beauty, why would you be willing to stoop to servitude?" He simply picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.

Guan Xia attended to Lin Chen as he enjoyed the Immortal Wine and food, and he, feeling no aversion, graciously accepted her services but continued to thank her out of habit.

Having heard Lin Chen’s thanks a few times, Guan Xia’s gaze towards him carried a hint of something unusual.

The eyes are the windows to the soul; one’s gaze cannot lie!

Lin Chen’s thanks were casual, but Guan Xia saw sincerity in his eyes.

Did this man actually not look down on her just because she was a handmaid?
