Red lanterns hung in front of the gate. Inside, there was a great deal of noise, and two servants were waiting outside. Although they were servants, they were dressed quite well.
They were dressed in decent cotton and linen clothes, both top and bottom, all gray, and had youthful faces; neither of them was very old. Their eyes darted furtively towards the door from time to time, and their hands trembled slightly as the night grew cold.
They were talking in hushed tones, "Has no one won over the top courtesan tonight yet? It's already so late, and it's getting colder and colder. I'm freezing to death."
The sooner we get it down, the sooner we can go home. Maybe we can even get a decent meal.
With his other hand resting on his leg, he said somewhat awkwardly, "Little Peach looks so beautiful. If I could marry her, I'd know it for the rest of my life."
One of them chuckled softly, "With our meager funds, unless someone actually sees your face, forget about it. I wonder who will get the top courtesan tonight—Young Master Chai, the second young master of the Gui family, or that Young Master Wang."
Then, quite incredulously, she said, "Why are there so many new people coming lately? And they come and go so quickly."
Another person quickly said, "Don't meddle. Didn't you hear the manager warn us? Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't say what you shouldn't say."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Third Brother, thank you, Third Brother." Then he fell silent.
He Chen, who had originally intended to ask someone where the Huang residence was, became curious after overhearing their conversation. He strode forward.
The two were so engrossed in looking inside that they figured it was late and no one would be coming, so they didn't pay much attention.
He Chen came up behind the two and said softly, "It looks really beautiful in here."
"Yes, yes!" The two had barely finished speaking when they suddenly sensed something was wrong. The voice sounded off. Seeing that their faces had turned pale with fright, they quickly turned around and, seeing it was indeed a person, patted their chests and breathed a long sigh of relief.
One of them quickly said, "Young hero, good evening. I'm Xiao Sanzi. Would you like to come in and have some fun? The girls inside are all top-notch."
Another person quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, quite a few decent young women have recently arrived. Would you like to give it a try, sir?"
He Chen nodded slightly. "I just heard you say that Young Master Huang is here, along with other young masters from various families?"
Xiao Sanzi proudly patted his chest and said, "That's right, our Dexinglou is the biggest and most abundant in the whole city. Whatever you want, we'll find it for you."
Look at this second young master of the Huang family lately, isn't he obsessed with respectable women? Our Dexinglou has brought in quite a few. Every now and then we get a good selection of high-quality, attractive women.
He Chen nodded and continued, "Where did these respectable women come from?"
Xiao Sanzi immediately fell silent, quickly covering his mouth, realizing he had misspoke. He hastily tried to correct him, saying, "Sir, you misheard. All the women here are trained by us. They are all absolutely innocent. We have never forced anyone into prostitution."
He Chen stopped wasting words. He pretended to pull two gold leaves from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Sanzi, saying, "I like them very much too. I just wanted to ask if these are real or fake?"
What if it's just a gimmick you use to attract customers? I'd be at a huge loss. I promise I won't tell anyone.
Xiao Sanzi glanced at the two gold leaves, a greedy glint in his eyes. He looked at the ones next to him, and saw the same greedy look in their eyes. Xiao Sanzi was immediately filled with regret. He wanted to swallow them all, but he was afraid his companion would tell on him.
He quickly exchanged a glance with his companion, who also nodded greedily. Then, Xiao Sanzi swiftly pocketed the two gold leaves.
Then he said softly, "Guest, the respectable women here are absolutely genuine. They were all obtained by this young master Wang through coercion and other means."
Our young master is a subordinate of the Chai family's young master. He runs many gambling dens in the city and controls many workshops. With just a little manipulation, he can coerce many people.
Moreover, this young master Chai is also a local.
He glanced around and said softly, "This prefect's surname is also Chai! I wonder if the young master is satisfied?"
He Chen nodded, feigning pleasure. 'Very satisfied. Then I'll go in and take a look now.'
The two seemed so generous; they must be quite wealthy. So the other person quickly said, "Please come in, guests! We have guests! Someone come and greet them!"
He Chen gave a slightly sinister smile and nodded. He strode in, his heart burning with rage. 'Should I tear you all to pieces, or send you on your way quickly?'
A hundred generations of prosperity vanish in a single day; who is not a passerby? A thousand autumns of moonlight, a mournful horn blows; the flowers are their masters. Today, you will become fertilizer for the flowers and grasses. You have surely already harmed many of them in your daily lives.
After He Chenyun walked with the wind and clouds, two beautiful figures sat on the large bed. They opened their beautiful eyes, their gazes met, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes. Then they looked at the others sleeping beside them.
Piaomiaoyue gathered her qi and transmitted her voice, "Sister Yunsu, don't worry. Since Shen Lang dared to go alone, he must have his reasons. Moreover, his strength is unpredictable, and he's a practitioner of external martial arts. Even if he can't win, he can escape without any danger."
Yun Sudie nodded slightly, casually tidying her disheveled hair. Then she glanced at Piaomiaoyue's arms, which now appeared even more crystalline and translucent.
The voice replied softly, "I used to think I had a good talent. Now that I'm here, I feel my strength is insufficient. I can't help Shen Lang much. I was thinking of waiting for Sister Yun Qing to come so that everyone could share the burden. Now it seems that Shen Lang will have to work much harder on his own."
Piaomiaoyue replied, "My sister is already doing very well. She even has the army's help, while I myself am truly helpless. I've already contacted the Master. I wonder what the Master's arrangements will be?"
He then added, 'Chen Lang is now the Martial Emperor. He is the most powerful being in the world. He can find refuge anywhere. I imagine the Chief Judge will also consider this carefully.'
As she spoke, she glanced at Yun Su's tall, slender figure and jade-like skin, and said enviously, "Little sister has such a great figure."
Yun Su smiled and replied, "It's you, sister." Then, her large eyes darted around her feet. She asked telepathically, "The Master always hides herself so well when she's out. Have you seen her true face, sister? Is she very ugly?"
Then they all laughed. Piaomiaoyue laughed too.
Then she said, "The Lord always hides himself when he's out. He just doesn't want to attract unwanted attention and cause trouble. He's much more beautiful than me."
Her face was as bright as the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, her complexion as beautiful as the flowers at dawn in spring. Even the most beautiful descriptions, like flowers eclipsing the moon, are insufficient to describe her.
Yun Su nodded in response, "Yes, after all, he holds the position of Director."
