Upon entering the brothel, Gao Shijie immediately sensed a protective barrier.

"What's this?"

"Why don't you try mobilizing your cultivation now?"

After listening to Pei Zhi's words, Gao Shijie tried to activate his cultivation, only to find that it seemed to be sealed.

Gao Shijie realized: "This barrier prevents people from using their cultivation?"

Pei Zhi explained, "There used to be too many fights here, so we created this barrier."

After hearing Pei Zhi's explanation, Gao Shijie really perked up.

Pei Zhi took out the demon crystal and handed it to the doorman at the door, "We want the main hall."

The doorman immediately led Pei Zhi and her companion to a table where they sat down.

The doorman served the two tea and snacks and then quickly left.

Gao Shijie glanced around and saw that it looked no different from a teahouse in the cultivation world.

There is a main hall and private rooms; the only difference is that there is a large table in the main hall.

Gao Shijie guessed: "Will there be a performance up there later?"

Pei Zhi feigned mystery, "You'll find out soon enough."

Soon, a woman dressed in a white flying dress went up from below the stage.

"These clothes belong to our cultivation world?" Gao Shijie thought the clothes looked familiar.

"But isn't this dress too revealing at the bottom? You can see her legs. And wasn't the fabric at the top cut off?"

Gao Shijie had seen many women wearing this style of clothing in the cultivation world.

But it looks a bit different from the woman's clothes.

"My name is A Luo. My father has passed away, and I can only make a living by performing to bury him. I hope you will applaud if you like what I say."

Gao Shijie clicked his tongue in amazement, "There are actually such unfortunate women in the demon realm?"

Pei Zhi propped her head up and listened as a woman named A Luo on stage conjured up a guqin and began to play and sing.

Gao Shijie frowned deeply after hearing just the beginning. "Isn't it a bit too awful to play?"

Gao Shijie sighed again, "Maybe this girl comes from a poor family and hasn't studied. We'll give her a tip later."

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi simply smiled and remained silent.

No sooner had Gao Shijie finished speaking than a bully rushed onto the stage and kicked over A Luo's zither.

"You little slut, I spent money to bury your father, and you actually ran away and are selling yourself here?"

After saying that, the young scoundrel slapped Aro hard across the face.

Gao Shijie stood up and hurriedly said, "Why are you hitting people?"

Pei Zhi cracked sunflower seeds with great interest: "Be quiet, we're watching the show."

"They're hitting someone! Look how pitiful that girl is!"

Pei Zhi could only pull Gao Shijie back, "Didn't you see they used disguise talismans?"

Upon closer inspection, Gao Shijie realized that it was indeed true; the two people on stage had disguise talismans pasted on their backs.

On the stage, a woman named Aro was being beaten and screaming in pain, while the people below applauded and cheered.

Gao Shijie really couldn't stand it anymore, and Pei Zhi gestured for him to look at the booklet next to the table.

Although Gao Shijie didn't understand why, he obediently opened it and looked at it.

Only then did Gao Shijie understand the origin of the play on stage.

"A-Luo" was actually stronger than the female demons in the brothel, so he was kept in the brothel to atone for his sins.

Every day she has to play the role of a pitiful woman, and then get beaten up badly.

In addition, the booklet also introduces tonight's content.

There are wicked mothers-in-law who beat their daughters-in-law, and mistresses who beat the wives.

Without exception, those who were beaten were all guilty of crimes.

After the performance on stage ended, "Aro" was carried off the stage.

The young scoundrel tore off his disguise talisman, transforming into a young woman. He smiled and bowed to the audience before stepping off the stage.

Gao Shijie asked curiously, "Why did you choose this woman to play the role of the bad boy?"

Pei Zhi rested her chin on her hand and quietly watched Gao Shijie.

Gao Shijie quickly understood. He lowered his voice and said, "That woman was... raped by that scoundrel..."

The smiling girl who was standing on the stage just now...

If this were in the world of cultivation, although people would criticize the man for his wrongdoing, the woman would at least receive some sympathetic glances.

There was no malice intended; it was simply out of sympathy.

Just now, everyone applauded enthusiastically, without any sympathy or pity.

Pei Zhi said, "Sometimes, sympathy is not a good thing for victims."

On stage, the next program has already begun.

A man with rabbit ears on his head and a fluffy tail behind him came on stage.

The man first performed a dance on stage, which made Gao Shijie feel uneasy. What was all this nonsense?

How can a man on stage be twisting and turning, winking and... pulling at his clothes?

The level of inappropriateness in this performance would definitely get you arrested in the cultivation world.

Starting bid: 500 demon crystals.

Gao Shijie was taken aback. "Is this another form of humiliation?"

Using an auction to humiliate the people on stage?

"one thousand."

"I'll offer two thousand demon crystals."

"Three thousand demon crystals."

Pei Zhi raised her hands high, "Here are ten thousand demon crystals."

When Gao Shijie saw Pei Zhi getting involved, he asked, "What's going on? Is that rabbit on the stage a villain?"

"No, she is the rabbit."

Gao Shijie clicked his tongue, "Then this isn't a business deal..."

Isn't this a brothel? Pei Zhi even spent so many demon crystals?

That's just aiding and abetting evil.

Gao Shijie quickly pulled Pei Zhi, who was looking excited, back: "Stop taking pictures. If your dad finds out, he'll beat us to death."
