Chapter 19: 19 Tempting Pink Powder, Now Withered Bones Upon the Bed!
On the way to Hua Man Ge.
Ye Yutan behaved with extreme intimacy toward Ning Mu, as if the two were truly close brothers.
Ning Mu also acted as if he noticed nothing, seemingly immersed in Ye Yutan's flattery.
Before long.
Led by Ye Yutan, the two arrived at the red-light district of Yonghang City.
"Brother Ning, this is the entrance to Hua Man Ge."
"Walk one more street ahead, and you will find another of the Two Towers and Four Pavilions, which is just as famous as Hua Man Lou."
Standing before the steps of a flower-adorned, intricately carved archway, Ye Yutan said to Ning Mu with a smile.
"I have already made arrangements for you, Brother Ning; three peerless beauties, just go up and enjoy yourself to your heart's content!"
Ye Yutan winked at Ning Mu with a mischievous smile.
Ning Mu looked at Ye Yutan: "Why, Brother Yutan, are you not coming up?"
Ye Yutan patted Ning Mu on the shoulder and laughed: "For this kind of thing, it is naturally best for Brother Ning to enjoy it alone. Besides, I cannot compare to Brother Ning's carefree nature; my little aunt is coming to check the accounts, and I still have a mountain of work to deal with. Rest assured, Brother Ning, just enjoy yourself, and leave the rest to me!"
Ning Mu realized and laughed: "So that is how it is, Brother Yutan is very thoughtful."
"In that case... shall I accept your kindness without modesty?"
"Go, go!"
Ye Yutan smiled and pushed the expectant-looking Ning Mu into Hua Man Ge.
Suddenly.
Two gaudily dressed, stunningly beautiful courtesans came over, smiling seductively as they ushered Ning Mu into the pavilion.
Ning Mu did not stand on ceremony, reaching out to embrace the two women with a smile on his face, though a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes.
How could he not know that this was a trap set by Ye Yutan.
It was just that this kind of trap was too low-level.
The reason he agreed to come was that he wanted to see why Ye Yutan, despite meeting him for the first time, harbored such deep hostility behind his polite facade! Of course.
There was another reason.
He also wanted to experience the charm of listening to music in a brothel in this ancient society.
As for Liu Qingmei, whether she knew or not was unimportant; even if she found out he was lingering in a brothel, at most she would only reprimand him a few times. If she knew that Ye Yutan had set the trap behind it, she would likely skip the reprimand altogether.
Not until he watched Ning Mu's back disappear from sight did Ye Yutan let out a scoff, shrug his shoulders, and turn to leave with a cold sneer.
Resolving this major worry.
Left him feeling completely at ease.
As long as his little aunt discovered that her Personal Disciple, Ning Mu, was actually spending the night in a place of ill repute, then this brat's status in her heart would vanish, or he might even be kicked out of the sect directly.
After all, both the Ye Family and the Liu Family were prominent clans with very strict upbringing.
Seeking pleasure in brothels could be accepted.
But if the object of that pleasure was one of those promiscuous, disreputable prostitutes, it would be a disgrace to the family name.
He would not allow any strange men to appear by his little aunt's side! Not even a Personal Disciple!
……
"Is it her?"
After entering the main hall of the Phoenix Tower in Hua Man Ge, Ning Mu, while embracing a pair of beauties, glanced over inadvertently, his brows furrowing slightly as he turned around nonchalantly.
He saw on the second-floor corridor.
A young girl, escorted by several burly men in strange attire, walked into one of the rooms.
That girl was exactly the one he had encountered by chance at the tea stall outside the city, who had declared she wanted to engage in Double Cultivation with him!
After the girl and her party entered the room, Ning Mu frowned and pondered for a moment.
To ensure safety, he opened the system and silently sent a mission to Liu Qingmei.
……
"Where is Miss Ruyan?"
In the private room.
The room was adorned with flowers, and various gorgeous silks fluttered gently with the breeze blowing in through the window.
Making the atmosphere incredibly alluring.
On the table, wine and refreshments were all provided.
Even the snacks seemed to possess colors that stirred the heart.
Ning Mu looked at the pile of gaudily dressed courtesans before him and asked with great interest.
The top courtesan of Hua Man Ge, Ruyan, was famous far and wide for her heavenly beauty. She was also specifically recommended by Ye Yutan.
Since he was already here, he naturally wanted to see what the top courtesan looked like.
"Young Master, I am truly very sorry... Everything was fine when Young Master Ye sent word, but who would have thought that good things are often thwarted; Miss Ruyan has started her monthly cycle, which is truly inauspicious and inconvenient to entertain you. These few are the top-ranked singers of our Hua Man Ge, Young Master, what do you think... or perhaps wait until Ruyan is feeling better, and we will notify you, and you can come to favor her then?"
The procuress looked at Ning Mu apologetically, her face full of fawning smiles.
Hmm? Ning Mu looked in surprise at the still-charming procuress, who had almost pressed half her body against him.
Although he was not anyone famous.
But with the strength of Cangjian Villa combined with the Yuhong Trading Firm, let alone this Yonghang City, who in the entire Jiangnan region did not know of them?
And for the top courtesan designated by Ye Yutan, a young master of the Ye Family, to dare to break the appointment? This was something Ning Mu had not expected.
Never mind, he was just here to play out of boredom anyway.
Ning Mu shrugged, smiled indifferently, and then looked at the other prostitutes before him, whose looks and figures were also quite excellent.
At the same time.
Next door.
"Is it him?"
Through the window, Pusa Xiaoman looked at Ning Mu in surprise, her bright, sparkling eyes dancing with a hint of excitement and joy.
"Who?"
Beside her, the bearded man leaned over and took a curious look.
"Wu Bo, it's that kid from the teahouse. The Pure Essence aura on him is so rich, I love it so much!"
Pusa Xiaoman said, looking at Wu Bo.
The bearded man, Pusa Tuo, could not help but frown slightly.
"Xiaoman, this person has a Grandmaster behind him. If we were within the borders of the Zhou Kingdom, it would be fine, but this is Yonghang in Qi after all. If something goes wrong, the Sect Leader will not spare you!"
Pusa Tuo rubbed Xiaoman's hair and said worriedly.
"What is there to fear? That woman certainly won't come to a brothel. We can spirit him away without anyone knowing, then drain his Pure Essence completely and destroy the body without a trace. Who would ever find out?"
Pusa Xiaoman's eyes were bright and sparkling, filled with excitement and impulse, possessing the headstrong drive of a newborn calf that fears no tiger.
Hearing Pusa Xiaoman's words, Pusa Tuo's eyes shifted, as if he were considering whether this plan was feasible.
And behind the two of them, wisps of green smoke drifted out from an incense burner. On a wooden couch not far away, a woman wearing gorgeous clothing lay there, looking withered and gaunt; her flesh and blood had vanished, her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and she was almost nothing but skin and bones.
The blood and flesh on her entire body seemed to have been sucked dry by some unspeakable monster.
Her once soft and beautiful hair was now like weeds, withered and tangled.
The once alluring beauty had become a withered corpse on the couch.
And if Ye Yutan were here, she would certainly be able to recognize who this person was from the facial features and clothing of the withered female corpse on the couch.
It was none other than someone else.
It was the top headliner of Hua Man Ge, the peerless courtesan whose beauty was unrivaled in Yonghang, the object of pursuit for countless talented scholars and wealthy young masters... Miss Ruyan! "Fine, Xiaoman, I will go notify the madam to slip him some knockout drops. With the help of this person's Pure Essence, perhaps you can break through a realm, and your stomach pain will also be greatly alleviated!"
In the end, Pusa Tuo agreed with Pusa Xiaoman's opinion.
This trip had taken over half a month, traveling from the Blood Lotus Sect headquarters at Xiao Mountain to Yonghang, with the main purpose being to advance Pusa Xiaoman's Cultivation Points.
Now that a supreme medicine, akin to a heaven-sent treasure, was placed right before them, not taking it would truly be a waste of a heavenly gift.
It was even more inconsistent with the style of the Blood Lotus Sect! The worst-case scenario would be nothing more than losing their foundation in Yonghang City.
But if it meant an advancement in Pusa Xiaoman's Cultivation Points, this trade was worth it!
Presumably, even if the Sect Leader knew, he would never blame them!
……
"Young Master, stop touching, have some wine!"
"……"
Next door.
Two brothel women in transparent, revealing clothing, looking alluring and worldly, were showing off their seductive charms.
One of them picked up a jade-green wine pot and filled the cup in front of Ning Mu, then, in a coquettish voice, pushed away Ning Mu's hand that was groping her leg, saying softly: "Young Master, this is the latest craft brew launched by our Hua Man Ge, Panlong Drunkenness."
"As the name implies, even a dragon would be dead drunk after drinking this pot of wine. Would the Young Master like to try some?"
The brothel woman's tone was enchanting, bewitching Ning Mu.
"A dragon?"
"Ning here loves a dragon most in his life!"
