Chapter 50: Flower Street: The Nature of Male Competition [VIP]
(hateful!)
Xiao Yun cursed in his heart.
Because he was now a bard, he only had a short dagger for self-defense. Facing five strong men, he had no chance at all.
Swish!
A sword came slashing at him, Xiao Yun dodged nimbly, retreating to the alley five meters to the left while picking up a thick wooden stick.
"Yo! You're trying to fight us with a stick!"
"As innocent as his face!"
The thugs laughed loudly and, relying on their numbers, swaggered towards Xiao Yun, trying to force him into the alley and do whatever they wanted to him.
"You'd better not resist. If your pretty face gets damaged, they'll bargain you down when they sell you to a brothel."
The leader said greedily.
Xiao Yun pretended to be frightened by them, grabbed the wooden stick with both hands, and backed away silently.
The villains laughed so hard that they fell backwards.
"Come on, little darling! Let your brothers love you first!"
"He's more handsome than the courtesan, isn't he?"
"Even Romila wouldn't be prettier than him!"
"Let's try it together later! Hahaha!"
“…”
"You perverts!"
Xiao Yun said this with disgust, biting his lips.
"So cute! Like a frightened curly-haired cat!"
The villains laughed merrily, their eyes filled with cruel joy.
Xiao Yun, who was about to successfully retreat into the alley, also gripped his long stick tightly, ready to -
"--ah!"
A villain suddenly screamed, and his body was picked up and thrown out like an object, hitting the wall, and his brain splattered!
"What's going on—"
The companion turned around, but before he could finish his words, his throat was torn apart by the hissing sword.
The other three also fell into despair.
In front of the rapier of the man in the black cloak who suddenly appeared behind them, they were as weak as children who had just learned to walk!
"ah!"
The sword fell down.
The arrogant villain knelt on the ground, clutching his bleeding hand.
"Is that all you can do?"
The man wrapped in a black cloak laughed contemptuously, and swung his rapier again, chopping off the arm of the villain who had already knelt on the ground, and then cut a scar across the face of another villain, and finally stabbed the one-eyed leader's shoulder, lifting the strong man weighing at least two hundred pounds into the air!
(This guy...)
Xiao Yun was stunned.
Not to mention the agility and strength this man displayed in battle, the strength of his arms alone, which allowed him to lift a 200-jin (approximately 200-jin) strong man with a rapier—
Bang!
The leader was thrown off the sword and lay humbly on the stone slab.
“Ah—ah!”
"Don't let me meet you again next time!"
The man in the black cloak spoke arrogantly in a low and smooth voice.
Realizing that they had saved their lives, the villains dared not say anything harsh and fled away crawling.
The man who saved Xiao Yun did not stay for long and turned around to leave.
At this moment, the wind blew off his cloak hood, revealing his long white hair as luxurious as moonlight.
“—It’s you!”
Xiao Yun suddenly jumped up.
(Alfonso, the "Mercenary King"!)
“…As expected, I was recognized.”
The man turned around helplessly and stared at Xiao Yun sternly with his rare golden-green eyes: "Claude Xiao, you shouldn't be here."
"You shouldn't be here...wait! How do you know my name?"
"It's true that we didn't formally meet while we were on the ship, but you're a little too handsome for a man."
Alfonso puts it bluntly: "Even at a quick glance, your face leaves a lasting impression."
"You also look very..."
"People who compliment me on my beauty usually have only two choices: either become a corpse or become my woman. Which one do you choose?"
The handsome but cold man stared at Lucien mockingly, his golden-green eyes as sharp as a wild animal.
Beneath the clothes, the flexible, slender, and explosive muscles comparable to those of a cat are ready to go.
"I choose the third one and turn around and leave."
Xiao Yun said unhappily, "Thank you for saving me. Even without you, I can still handle this trouble."
"All right."
Alfonso taunted him, "For your brother's sake, I'll let you go. But you'd better leave Kukuchia immediately. This place is not suitable for a delicate young man."
"Thank you for your advice. I will leave as soon as I finish my work."
Xiao Yun raised his eyes and looked at Alfonso, who was like a white wolf, provocatively.
This was their first official meeting, but he instinctively hated Alfonso and was convinced that Alfonso also hated him deep down.
Because we hate each other!
In other words, it is the competitive nature of men!
…
…
As night falls, Red Street begins to come alive, and the narrow streets are crowded with pleasure-seekers of all ages and genders.
Prostitutes, both male and female, in revealing clothes and heavy make-up, were either soliciting customers on the street or parading on the first-floor balconies. The whole street was filled with shrill shouts, laughter, and bargaining. Occasionally, a horse-drawn carriage would rumble past on the cobblestones, adding to the bustle and noise of the red-light district.
This is a noisy city that never sleeps, and everyone tries their best to seduce others just to hear the noise.
Of course, there were also some people who came to express their joy.
Four ascetic monks wearing black cloaks that covered their entire bodies and hemp ropes tied around their waists passed through the streets filled with cheap fragrances and wanton temptations like dark shadows, and walked into Yuehui Tower, which was hidden in the deepest part of the red-light district and had been silent for many years.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After three taps, it is fully opened.
"Coming?"
"Um."
The leading man took off his cloak, revealing
Then a little light appeared in the darkness.
A beautiful yet subtly uncomfortable looking black-haired young man walked over holding a candle, his fair skin was damp and sticky like a snake.
"Romila—"
"The young master is waiting for you upstairs."
Romila said nonchalantly, licking her voluptuous lips. "Hey, you guys really don't want to have a deeper discussion with me? No one in the entire Flower Street has better skills than me~"
"We came to Huajie to do business, not to do business with you."
Lance warned Romila with a cold face.
He was once a legendary gladiator from Kukuchia and had heard the legend of the succubus Romilla from the Flower Street.
"All right……"
Romila shrugged and said in a slimy tone, "Having seen beauties like the Princess and the Young Master, it's really hard for them to be interested in me. It's a pity they are too noble, like the moon you can never catch in your lifetime... One day you will wake up, give up your unrealistic dreams, and spend a night full of vulgar pleasures with me in the red-light district of Kucukia~"
"You're a disgusting thing."
Monger said slowly.
"But you need this disgusting thing of mine now."
“…”
As they were talking, the five of them walked up the stairs and entered the largest room on the first floor.
Crash——
After pushing open the paper sliding door, Romila blew out the candle and leaned her soft body against Xiao Yun in front of the gilded screen. "Master, I brought the person here. How will you reward me?"
Xiao Yun ignored his flattery and asked Lance and the other three to take off their cloaks and sit down.
Romila was angered by Xiao Yun's attitude and muttered sinisterly, "One day I will sneak into the Silver Moon Palace and force your brother to sleep with me. I will dig out the pure black eyes unique to the Holy Family and chop that beautiful face that seems too beautiful to be human into pieces... Hehehe... I hate people who are more beautiful than me... Ah!"
Before she could finish her vicious words, Romila was strangled by the curse chain around her neck and trembled in pain.
"You lowly succubus."
Xiao Yun said this coldly, and then asked Lance: "Has the deal been reached at the arena?"
"It's settled."
Lance said: "Tyson agreed that the four of us would participate in the duel performance of the Poseidon Festival as free gladiators."
"No suspicion?"
"I said I didn't want to serve the Grand Marquis of Gola, who was even more spoiled and willful than the Holy Duke and had nothing to offer except his inherited beauty from the Holy Family. I was also afraid of being reprimanded by the Mercenary King, so I took my companions in a similar situation and secretly ran off to Kucukia to play games and earn some quick cash. I hoped he would keep this a secret for me and not let Lord Alfonso, who was visiting Paradise City, know about it."
"He knows that I hate nobles, and I especially despise those incompetent young masters who do whatever they want based on their bloodline."
Lance added.
"Where are Habib and Suna?"
"I told him that the Grand Marquis of Gola, with the help of the Holy Duke, had reached an agreement with the various tribes of the jungle, and that he now commanded a team composed entirely of Sioux and Semitic people. The two of them followed him after hearing they could earn gold playing in Kukuchia."
"Son of the Holy One," the Ems in the arena can only understand the simplest jungle language. We will soon be able to contact our fellow tribesmen imprisoned in the arena dungeon and help them escape.
"Even so, you still have to be careful."
Xiao Yun looked at Romila with disgust: "What's the situation over there?"
"On my side—"
Romila smiled mysteriously and showed off proudly.
"Thirty years ago, when the current city lord, Tales, had just come of age, he disguised himself as an ordinary pleasure seeker and came to Yuehui Tower seeking excitement. He became fascinated by me. Unfortunately, before I could extract any benefits from him, he was summoned by the old man to the Death Desert to excavate the ruins of the Eternal Empire's capital."
"Given my old relationship with him, I can easily get the special operating permit for the offshore brothel from him."
"I've spread the word that I'm planning to buy five luxurious ships and open an exotic maritime brothel. Half of the prostitutes will be slaves from the Eastern Continent, and half will be barbarians captured from the dense forests of M'Gora. I want all the owners to send all the prostitutes and unregistered prostitutes who meet the requirements to Yuehui Tower. I'll buy them at a high price."
"They will—"
"meeting."
Romila's eyebrows were dancing with joy, and there was a creepy lewdness flashing at the corners of her mouth.
"In Kukuchiya Flower Street, I am the most cruel demon legend. No boss dares to disobey me!"
“…”
"Believe me, this is the easiest and most efficient way."
Romila smirked, her lips forming a wicked half-moon.
"Master, wait for my good news! Hehehe!"
"You can go out now."
"Young Master—"
Romila rubbed her nose in dissatisfaction and opened the window.
In the darkness, there was the sound of flapping wings.
"——Kukukia, your emperor is back!"
