Villain : I reincarnated as a Prince! Shouldn't I have a Harem?

Chapter 138: Gathering Intel!



Hiding behind the bushes, Ashen observed the big mansion guarded by the guards.

To take on a disguise, he pondered:

What should I become? A beggar? his relative? or something else?

It should be something that doesn't arouse suspicion and also looks genuine,

However, I can't be sure Qin Feng will come to meet me.

Sigh... looks like I can't move forward unless I gather some intel about him, from there I can formulate a plan.

Analyzing that, Ashen decided to go into the town to gather information about Qin Feng. He must be famous since he is living in such a big mansion close to the emperor realm expert in the central prefecture.

Also, most protagonists are famous in their area, so it shouldn't be too difficult to know about them.

In a matter of minutes, he found a bustling tavern that was perfect for information exchange.

Clatter-Clatter!

Opening the door, Ashen entered the tavern as everyone's attention was drawn to him due to Bell's sound that was caused by the door opening.

The waiter came running to him and bowed: "Welcome guest, would you like a room or food?"

"Food," Ashen answered calmly.

"Would you like a premium table or a regular one?"

"Premium,"

The waiter nodded: "Please follow me to the upstairs!"

"Hmm," Ashen followed the waiter to the upstairs and was welcomed by a completely different environment from the one below.

On the floor below, everything was made of wood; however, here it was different. Instead of chairs, luxurious couches were used for seating, the tables were made of polished stones and the customers seemed wealthy and of upper class.

"Please sit here sir and tell me your order!" The waiter requested as he pointed at one couch that was just beside the wall.

Ashen went and sat on the couch before giving the order: "Bring the most expensive wine that you have here!"

A smile appeared on the waiter's face as he enthusiastically nodded and went to fetch the wine.

Ashen looked around to find someone who could give him the desired information.

There was a fat man of short stature, adorned in expensive noble attire sitting on the table in front of him, he skipped him and moved on to look at the next table.

Here, a tall muscular man with a bald head drank wine. He skipped him in disappointment and moved on to the table located right of him.

There, three beautiful women wearing expensive jewellery and silk dresses paired with fur mufflers were seated. They kept looking over to Ashen's table while talking among themselves as if talking about him.

These women would easily become the most beautiful women in Ashen's previous world, however, in this world, they were not of the caliber to make people go awe in their beauty.

Through cultivation, a cultivator's body becomes free of impurities, resulting in nearly everyone being beautiful.

Even then these women were above average in beauty compared to common people.

Noticing them looking over to his table, Ashen decided to go with them. Giving them a welcoming smile, he waved at them.

The women held their cheeks before waving back. Soon, the one with black hair gathered the courage to walk over to his table.

Seeing one of their friends going ahead, the other two also followed. The other two had auburn and blonde hair respectively.

The black-haired woman was the one to speak first with a smile: "This handsome brother, I haven't seen you around. Are you new here?"

Ashen nodded: "Yes, would you mind giving me some information?"

"Ah, no problem at all. Let us join you" The woman said in a flirtatious tone.

At this moment, the waiter returned as he placed the wine on Ashen's table: "Sir, this is Celestial Ember! The most expensive wine in the whole Xue Mo Tribe. Even the rich won't dare to buy it casually. It's said that upon drinking it, you gain luck for the whole day. Some cultivators have also experienced breakthroughs after drinking it. You surely won't regret it!"

Hearing about the Celestial Ember wine, almost all customers' heads turned towards Ashen in awe and surprise.

Even the three women couldn't hide their surprise: "Celestial Ember Wine? Brother, Are you sure you want it? It's not cheap and even though we three are from rich families, even we don't dare to buy it."

"It's no problem, don't worry! I can pay for it." Ashen dismissed their concern and patted the seat beside him: "Come, sit here. If you give me the desired information, I'll let you have a taste!"

"Really?" They couldn't hide their excitement as they rushed to sit beside him and answer all his questions.

Even if he asked for the secrets of their family, they were going to tell him for this revered wine. Just having a taste of it would be something to brag about for years.

"Ask away, young master"

They changed the way they addressed him just from the fact that he could afford to buy Celestial Ember.

A serious expression replaced Ashen's previous smile as he asked: "Do you know anything about Qin Feng? He is someone who lives in a huge mansion in the restricted area. That mansion is close to the Emperor realm leader of the Xue Mo Tribe's abode."

Hearing his question, an excited smile appeared on the three women's faces as they rushed to speak first.

Noticing that Ashen raised his palm, stopping them before saying: "No need to be so excited. Anyone of you can tell me."

He pointed at the black-haired woman: "You speak!"

The black-haired woman nodded and began to speak: "The description you gave only matches with one person, the deputy sect leader of the Blood Demon Sect. He is also one of the three prefecture lords of the central Prefecture."

"Oh, so he is the deputy sect leader and also a prefecture lord," Ashen murmured while rubbing his chin.

The Black-haired woman continued: "Yes, it has been around 80 years since he joined the Xue Mo Tribe!"

"Joined? Wasn't he born here?" Ashen asked curiously.

The black-haired woman shook her head and answered: "No, he was born in the QingLong tribe as one of the righteous hypocrites, however, he joined our tribe for some reason. Nobody knows the reason, other than those who were involved."
