The madam waved her jade fan, "Does Young Master Xiaoyao still need Little Orange's company?"
The carefree old Taoist shook his head. "I want your most beautiful courtesan."
Upon hearing this, the madam's face lit up with joy, but she casually remarked, "Xiang'er is feeling unwell today, I'm afraid..."
Before the madam could finish speaking, the carefree old Taoist priest tossed her a bag of silver and said with a grin, "Is Miss Xiang'er still feeling weak?"
The madam weighed the silver in her hand a few times, quite satisfied, her face full of smiles: "Oh, look at my memory, Xiang'er has already rested well. Just a couple of short while, and Xiang'er will be here soon."
After saying that, he waved the jade fan and went out the door.
The servants served some wine and dishes. Tao Yaoyan quietly took a bite of food and then didn't touch her chopsticks again.
He didn't need to eat these, but the carefree old Taoist said he had to eat a bite or two in order to experience the sensation.
"Little Peach, aren't you afraid of being targeted by those wandering immortals as you run around everywhere these days?" The carefree old Taoist took a sip of wine and looked at Tao Yaoyan with amusement.
"I'm not afraid," he said, "I feel safe with the little grass around me."
Listening to Tao Yaoyan's confident words, the carefree old Taoist shook his head and chuckled. He'd only learn his lesson after suffering a loss; he'd followed him so easily. Luckily, he didn't have any ambition to achieve enlightenment, otherwise…
As they were talking, the door creaked open, and a pair of embroidered shoes with canaries embroidered on them stepped through the threshold, moving as slender as a willow in the breeze.
A beautiful young woman, as pure as a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without any adornment, wearing a jade-green blouse and a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and misty green grass, entered before them and smiled slightly.
The carefree old Taoist nodded slightly. Indeed, only in this place of pleasure could one find such an elegant young lady.
The woman parted her red lips slightly: "Would you mind playing a tune for the audience?" Her eyes were full of charm as she looked directly at Tao Yaoyan.
Tao Yaoyan ignored it, picked up her teacup and took a sip.
"Good, good, good!" The carefree old Taoist priest clapped his hands and cheered.
The woman nodded gently, turned and went to where the zither was placed. She sat down cross-legged, her skirt scattering on the mat like flower petals.
She placed her delicate hand on the strings, gently vibrated them a few times, tuned the instrument, and confirmed that the tone was accurate before she began to play softly.
With a few turns of the pegs and a few plucks of the strings, before the melody is formed, the emotion is already there; with lowered brows and nimble fingers, she continues to play, expressing all the infinite things in her heart.
"It sounds nice," Tao Yaoyan nodded slightly.
Seeing that the time was right, the carefree old Taoist stood up and said to Tao Yaoyan, "Little Peach, I'll be right back. Please wait here for me."
Tao Yaoyan glanced at him and nodded. The naiveté in her eyes made the carefree old Taoist feel a little ashamed, but then he realized that this was a necessary step for a man, so what was there to be ashamed of?
He walked out with a grin, and before leaving, he said to the courtesan, "Take good care of my friend."
The courtesan's eyes were moist as she nodded gently.
"That's good then," the carefree old Taoist priest said cheerfully as he went to find his little orange.
Watching the carefree old Taoist leave, Tao Yaoyan shifted her gaze from the door to the courtesan, gesturing for her to continue playing the zither.
Unexpectedly, the woman in front of him began to undress, her red lips pursed as she breathed softly.
Tao Yaoyan sensed something was wrong and got up to leave, but the woman had already stripped down to just her blouse.
Tao Yaoyan immediately closed her eyes, cast a spell, and rushed out the door.
His face flushed, and the tips of his ears turned bright red. He never imagined that a man's paradise would be such a lewd thing!
He will never believe the nonsense spouted by the carefree old Taoist again!
Tao Yaoyan hurriedly returned to the Lin House, and as soon as she opened the door, she encountered Dou Shiliu, who was about to go out to look for her.
Tao Yaoyan looked at her with a bewildered expression, like a frightened little deer.
With such adorable eyes, Dou Shiliu didn't hesitate to hug him, and immediately caught a whiff of...
The scent of rouge and face powder is very strong, like the smell of rouge.
Dou Shiliu's face darkened.
"Where did you go?"
She stared at him with a deep, somber expression. How long had she been gone? This cannon fodder leader was actually out having fun with another woman!!!
Tao Yaoyan blinked her eyes, looking bewildered, and said, "I don't know what that place is."
His eager expression as he tried to explain was incredibly cute.
"Have you been drinking?"
Tao Yaoyan immediately shook her head, "No, I only drank tea, and it tasted awful."
Upon hearing this, Dou Shiliu's expression improved slightly, but don't think you can get away with being cute!
How did you end up going to those places?
Dou Shiliu glared at him dangerously. If he didn't explain himself clearly today, well, she'd tear down every brothel in the world!
Brothels around the world: "…………, when the city gates catch fire, innocent people are also affected."
"An old Taoist priest led me there," Tao Yaoyan said honestly, sensing a dangerous aura emanating from the grass.
"Who?" Dou Shiliu narrowed her eyes dangerously. Where did this old Taoist priest come from? Was he trying to steer her, the cannon fodder, in a completely negative direction?
Don't you know he's still just an innocent child?
"An old Taoist priest who saved me back then, dressed in tattered clothes," Tao Yaoyan said, completely unaware that he had bought the carefree old Taoist priest's body.
Dou Shiliu was lost in thought when suddenly a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then a figure flashed through his mind.
"Heh...so it's that old man!" Dou Shiliu chuckled maliciously. He stole her credit back then, and now he's taking her cannon fodder to a place like that. This old man must be itching for a beating...
"You're not allowed to go to those places again!" Dou Shiliu solemnly declared to Tao Yaoyan.
The image of the courtesan flashed through Tao Yaoyan's mind, his face flushed, and then goosebumps rose on his skin. He would never go to those places again!!!
Seeing that Tao Yaoyan nodded seriously, Dou Shiliu let him go, "Go to the spiritual spring to take a bath and wash away the pungent smell of rouge and powder."
