Chapter 49: First time entering the Flower Street [VIP]
On the day when the Mercenary King's fleet arrived in Kucukia, the originally spacious port was completely packed with ships - in addition to the Mercenary King's fleet, there were also ships of all sizes that came to greet them.
The shore was also crowded with people. Prostitutes dressed in sexy clothes were holding flowers and ribbons, enthusiastically welcoming the "Mercenary King" and his subordinates.
“Isn’t it spectacular?”
Inside the cabin, Lance pointed to the scene outside and said to Xiao Yun, "Although my king is seen as a bloodthirsty and greedy 'white devil' by the nobles of the Central Plains, and everyone shudders at the mere mention of him, in Kukuchia, a city whose economy relies on prostitution, gambling, and alcoholism, and specializes in providing debauchery and pleasure, mercenaries, driven by the precariousness of their lives and a love of indulgence, are their favorite customers."
"A sick city..."
Xiao Yun muttered softly.
Romila, who was sitting in the corner, heard this and couldn't help but complain, "Young Master, you've been so well protected by His Royal Highness that you've never experienced true human happiness. It's inevitable that you think indulgence is a sin... When you sit in the VIP seats of the Colosseum, accompanied by the most alluring women on the Red Street, watching the brutal fight between humans and beasts, your blood will surge, your heartbeat will accelerate, and you'll be immersed in the most primitive human pleasure."
"I'm not that vulgar!"
Xiao Yun glared at Romila.
Romila tactfully retreated into the corner.
Two days ago, Xiao Yun and his five companions fought their way out of the encirclement and jumped into the sea to escape, but Romila remained aboard, hiding in a corner without a word. After the captain ordered the ship to turn, he emerged from the cabin under cover of darkness, sucked the blood out of more than a dozen senior crew members, including the captain, and, wiping his gluttonous mouth, he steered his small boat after the "Sea Witch."
Because the "Mercenary King" had given instructions in advance, and the captain of the "Sea Witch", Andre, had already recognized Lance and others, Romila's boarding the ship late at night did not cause any commotion.
As he was speaking, the "Mercenary King" Alfonso walked down the gangway of the "Sea Witch" surrounded by his personal guards. His handsome appearance and dangerous temperament attracted cheers from the women on board and on shore.
"White devil! Come and tear me apart! I can't wait to be whipped by you!"
"Wow! I want to be your mare! I want you to ride me every day!"
"Bloody King! Let me bleed for you! My beautiful and cold demon!"
“…”
Xiao Yun stared at the "Mercenary King" walking across the gangway towards the harbor. He couldn't believe that the famous "White Devil" was so young and handsome, and his dress and manners were no less than those of traditional aristocrats.
(He looked down on the nobles, thinking that most of them were just lucky enough to be born into noble families. If he were to wear noble clothes, he would be more noble than the nobles themselves!)
John Deere's words rang in my ears.
Originally, Xiao Yun thought that this comment was a filter of childhood sweethearts, but when he saw Alfonso on the gangway, dressed in aristocratic clothes, his long cloak fluttering in the sea breeze, and his long white hair coated with a layer of golden edges by the sun, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
(No wonder Kairusha once thought that Yaris had been deceived by Alfonso's sweet talk... This man... was handsome, slender and well-built, with light and agile movements and a wild and dangerous temperament. He was indeed the type Yaris liked...)
"——What is the young master thinking about?"
Romila spoke cautiously.
"Lance is right, Alfonso is a charming villain..."
Xiao Yun said sourly.
For the first time in his life, he felt uneasy that Alfonso might threaten his position in Jarris' heart.
…
The welcoming team sent by the City King accompanied the "Mercenary King" and others and walked away. The dock of Kucukia once again returned to its former noisy and chaotic state.
No one noticed that on the other side of the "Sea Witch", six people boarded a small boat and quietly entered the city among the offshore cruise ships returning to the port.
Perhaps someone noticed this group of guests of unknown origin.
But this is Kukuchia, the "City of Joy," where almost everyone indulges in joy and pursues the joy of the moment. They don't care about the stranger's origins, but only care whether the guest's pockets are full of gold coins.
…
…
Kucukía is a bustling port city with a population of nearly one million.
The city starts from the port which is bustling and bustling 260 days a year and extends northwest to the Kucukia Mountains dozens of kilometers away.
The King of the City and his confidants lived on Mount Kukuchia.
With Paradise City, the residence of the City King, as its center, scattered throughout are luxurious villas reserved for the nobles of the Western Continent, as well as brothels, arenas, taverns, casinos, and theaters that provide the nobles with top-level entertainment...
This entire area is collectively known as Upper Cucucía.
The vast area from the foot of Mount Kucukia to the port of Kucukia is called Lower Kucukia.
Starting from the second generation of King of Kukuchia, Lower Kukuchia was divided into nine districts. The prosperous area in the middle, consisting of five main streets and dozens of alleys, is the famous Kukuchia Flower Street in the Western Continent.
The King of the City stipulated that brothels in areas other than the Flower Street area were illegal operations and would be severely punished if discovered.
Of course, Upper Kukuchia and.
During the Festival of Poseidon, the city king would leave the magnificent Upper Kukuchia and hold the annual Poseidon celebration in the large arena that could accommodate 10,000 people.
Driven by curiosity, the distinguished guests of the City King sometimes appear in disguise on Yahua Street to enjoy.
…
A young man dressed as a bard walked into the "Sea Fairy" tavern near Flower Street. As soon as he took off his bicorne hat and hadn't spoken yet, the eyes of the female owner and the customers in the tavern were already focused on him.
After all, even in Red Street, this is rare.
What's more, the young man had none of the sticky flattery of a street prostitute. His eyes were lively and clear like the sea, and his smile was bright and warm like the sun. Although he was a bard, his skin was so white that there was no trace of wind and sun. He wore clothes that were neither new nor old, and he glowed and attracted people around him.
"Want a drink?"
The female boss enthusiastically poured him a glass of wine.
"Thank you, but I haven't—"
"A little gift from me."
The female boss smiled and said, "It's rare to meet such a beautiful person."
“Thank you so much.”
The young man took the glass and was about to drink it——
"Boss, all your future purchases will be charged to my account!"
"You wish! You're so ugly and you think you can pay the bill for a pretty boy!"
"You talk as if you were paying his bill out of the kindness of your heart!"
"Do you have good intentions?"
“…”
“—Stop arguing!”
The female proprietress put her hands on her hips and shouted, interrupting the guests' heated argument: "'Sea Fairy' is a decent and clean tavern. I don't allow anyone to do dirty things in my shop! If you want to do dirty things, go somewhere else! People with no taste are not welcome here!"
After yelling at the troublemakers, the female boss smiled and told Xiao Yun, "If you're looking for a clean job in Kukuchia, Sea Fairy is a good choice. Of course, clean jobs in Kukuchia don't make as much money as dirty ones, and you're a very good-looking young man."
"I haven't even performed yet, and you're going to hire me?"
"This is Kukuchia, a place where beautiful people can make money even if they don't know anything."
The female boss said proudly: "I forbid customers to touch my employees, but I will not forbid them to spend money in my store just to appreciate the beauty of the bard."
"That……"
Xiao Yun glanced at the flower street across the street.
On the crowded street, Romila, who was posing coquettishly, was surrounded by men who came here to seek pleasure.
The female boss also noticed the commotion Romila caused and narrowed her eyes: "Are you jealous of him?"
“…”
"Don't envy such dirty vanity. You deserve better. Besides, this guy calls himself Romila."
"Succubus Romila?"
"You also know the succubus Romila?"
The female boss brought Xiao Yun a plate of cut fruit.
"In Kucukia's red-light district, the story of the succubus Romila has long been circulating. No one knows how many years he lived, or even whether he existed. We only know that Romila was a terrifying demon. Anyone who became involved with him, whether prostitute or client, would lose their mind, go bankrupt, commit suicide, murder their husbands or wives, or even go insane. The list is endless."
…
After negotiating a one-month temporary employment agreement with the female boss, Xiao Yun walked out of the "Sea Fairy" store and went to Flower Street to meet Romila.
He walked into the bustling Flower Street carrying his instrument. A woman's cheerful laughter came from above his head: "Pretty little brother, can you sing a song for me?"
"I have something else to do, wait for me--"
A drunk man came towards him and bumped into Xiao Yun.
"Ah, you're a bard, I..."
The drunk suddenly noticed his face and shouted, "You have a beautiful face! How much money do you want? Come on, any amount is fine, let's find a room and have fun right now!"
"I'm sorry! I refuse."
Xiao Yun pushed the drunk man away and continued walking towards the back alley of Huajie.
The air here was filled with heat and vulgarity, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable. The drunks and hawkers who approached him along the way had foul breath, which was unbearable.
As they were about to cross the flower street and reach the meeting place agreed with Romila—
"Pretty boy, are you really not going to consider making some quick money?"
Five burly and scary-looking men blocked Xiao Yun's way.
Everyone held a sword in his hand, and the leader was a one-eyed man.
"If I were you, I would never appear alone in Flower Street."
"—What do you want?"
Xiao Yun asked coldly, looking around and found an alley five meters to the left.
"What do you think we want to do?"
The leader licked his lips and said, "With your looks, you can get a lot of money if you sell it to a brothel!"
"Boss, why bother explaining so much to him? Just do it!"
“—Get started!”
At a command, five men rushed towards Xiao Yun!
