Chapter 447: The Poisonous Scorpion

"Young Master Hai, another one?"

The people nearby seemed to know this Young Master Hai, and their words were filled with envy. Looking at the young girl, her appearance was not bad; she could be considered a middle-to-upper-tier woman in this place.

Yet, she was a poor judge of character, having set her sights on a complete and utter emotional swindler.

One could tell from the words of those nearby that this young girl was definitely not the first.

This Young Master Hai, while called a young master, actually only had somewhat luxurious clothing, while his accessories were not of high quality; it was clear his family background was not as wealthy as imagined, and he could only put on a front.

But he had a silver tongue, capable of coaxing women into falling for him, willing to offer him everything they had.

Not only could he get her body for free, but he could also make her take out all her accumulated savings for him, under the fine-sounding pretext of helping him redeem himself.

Once he had squeezed them dry and knew the other party had no more money, he would turn around and report them to the Brothel. The Brothel would usually offer a generous reward as a thank-you, so he could collect twice.

As for what would happen to the woman in the end, that was not something he needed to worry about.

He only cared about taking the gold and silver he had obtained to indulge in debauchery; if he ran out of money, he would just find the next target.

In any case, he had figured out these women in the Brothel; most of them yearned for that ridiculous thing called love, longed for so-called freedom, and wanted to escape their current life.

These people seemed very cautious, but as long as you broke through their defenses, they would open their hearts and souls to you.

After a few times, he had long since mastered the technique; fooling a few Brothel women was still very easy, and he was becoming increasingly adept at it.

"These Brothel women are truly easy to fool. If not for them, how would I have the life I have now!"

He was originally a poor scholar, and it was precisely by relying on the relief from these Brothel women that he had his current life of luxury and dissipation.

This kind of life was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine before. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to go from luxury to frugality. To make him abandon his current life and live the bitter life of before was something he absolutely could not do.

Therefore, it is imaginable that he would keep on swindling like this. Anyway, those women were easy to fool; both their bodies and their family assets were his.

How did that saying go? This is called passing through ten thousand flowers without a single leaf sticking to one's body.

"Lu Hailin!" Glaring viciously at that Young Master Hai, the young girl desperately tried to pounce on him. At this moment, hatred sprouted in her heart, and her chest was filled with a heart full of hatred.

She suddenly felt how ridiculous she was. Love, growing old together—swindlers, they were all swindlers. So she had been a joke from beginning to end, a pitiful clown.

"Pull her down, drag her away for me!" The procuress nearby, seeing this scene, immediately had people roughly drag the young girl away, making a spectacle of herself.

At the same time, she cast a subtle glance at Lu Hailin. This person's reputation had recently begun to spread in their circles; it was disgusting enough to make one want to kill him.

Yet he had told her in front of so many people that her own girl had seduced him. With so many people watching, she had no choice but to handle it in public, resulting in a total loss of face.

Those who fall into the dust of the world are already miserable people, and to be swindled by such a person—these people deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces.

But in front of so many people, she still had to suppress her anger and could only vent her fury on the young girl beside her.

"Stop!" Just at this moment, a young gentleman stood out and blocked the path in front of the young girl.

This person's temperament was very peculiar, the kind that made one unable to forget it after a single glance; he was definitely either wealthy or noble.

For those of them in the Brothel who welcomed and sent off guests, they had seen many people and had long since trained a pair of sharp eyes.

Although she couldn't see through this young gentleman's identity, he was definitely not someone she could afford to provoke.

Therefore, when she saw this young gentleman, the expression on her face quickly turned into a blooming smile.

"This young master..."

Gu Xin

Just as the procuress wanted to say a few words, the young gentleman instead reached out his hand and pulled up the young girl who had been knocked to the ground.

The concern on his face was like the sunlight in winter, sending a ray of warmth into the young girl's heart that had just frozen over.

"Does it hurt?"

His hand gently brushed across the other's face, and in just an instant, the slap mark on her face had completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared at all.

This scene made the procuress tremble a little; just by this move, she could be certain that the identity of the young gentleman before her was extraordinary.

"Did you just harbor thoughts of death?" He stroked the other's head, just like an elder doting on a junior.

The young gentleman was refined and courteous, his eyes revealing a compassionate look, as if he were always carrying a bit of sorrow. It was precisely this melancholic aura that increased his charm by several degrees.

Hadn't you seen that just by him standing here, even the courtesan performing nearby couldn't help but look over a few more times?

"A person's life is very precious; no matter when, one should never give up!"

"Young Master, I..." Lowering her head, the young girl didn't know how to respond. Just now, she had indeed been in total despair, harboring thoughts of death, feeling that there was nothing in this world worth lingering for.

But when this young master stood before her, she felt an unprecedented sense of security and once again had a longing for life.

After soothing the young girl, the young gentleman turned to look at the procuress nearby. "I want to redeem her; name your price."

"This, Young Master, this girl has a wild heart, I'm afraid..."

"Is this enough?" Before the other party could finish speaking, the young gentleman took a bright pearl off his waist. When everyone saw this pearl, they couldn't help but look sideways.

Most of the people who spent money here were either wealthy or noble, and their eye for quality was quite good. This large, round, and lustrous pearl was absolutely priceless.

Let alone redeeming a girl who wasn't even the top courtesan, it would be enough even to redeem the most expensive courtesan in Luo Yin Cheng.

"Enough, enough!" She nodded repeatedly, carefully taking the pearl from the other party's hand. The procuress was so excited she couldn't bear to let go, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at the young gentleman became unusually fiery.

If only I had a dozen more customers as generous as this one.

"Young Master!" Kneeling on the ground in gratitude, the young girl's tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Thank you, Young Master, for saving me from the sea of bitterness. This servant is willing to be a beast of burden for you from now on!"

"I don't need you to be a beast of burden!" Shaking his head, the young gentleman helped her up and then said gently, "Go, leave this place, and don't come back!"

"You must live well, do you hear? Go!"

He waved his hand at the young girl. After the procuress delivered the deed of sale, the young gentleman sent the young girl away, watching her leave just like that.

Throughout the whole process, the young girl kept looking back every few steps, somewhat reluctant to part, but in the end, she still left in tears.

"This, it really is him!" Looking at the young gentleman over there, Shen Yu glanced at the Compass in his hand with some uncertainty.

The needle of the Compass in his hand moved as the young gentleman moved; it could basically be confirmed that it was pointing at him!

Yet no one could connect the person before them with those brutal and fierce old monsters, even he himself hadn't sensed any dark aura from the other party.

But the Compass obtained from signing in shouldn't be wrong just after being used, right?

After the young nobleman returned, the madam was even more enthusiastic; if such a wealthy patron was well-served, wouldn't there be heaps of gold and silver to be had?

"Young Master, if you have any instructions, just tell us; no matter what kind of request it is, we can satisfy it."

"Satisfy it? If I wanted your lives, would you give them?"
