Zhi Rui, Zhun Xuying and Hilda entered a private room.
There were comfortable, soft cushion mats, made with wine red Everything in the room had a red shade in it, some brighter others darker, beautiful lamps illuminating just enough for the room to be slightly dim. And incenses perfuming the place, this kind of mood, even if you're timid, you'd turn into a new leaf.
Zhu Rui looked around fascinated, she'd never seen a room like this. So comfortable and luxurious, she turned to the other two.
Hamilton had taken off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the cushion mat.
Zhun Xuying stood still, her hands nervously clenching on her white servant robe. looking around nervously.
"Sit down Xuying, if you keep acting all coy like that I might just eat you up."
Zhi Rui Chuckled saying.
Zhun Xuying was startled, her mind was already in a mess with the place her lady chose to come, now with this kind of joke, her mind is even more clouded.
'What is this brat thinking? I just got this change of life, and she brought me to a brothel!? and the second thing she does is throw promiscuous jokes at me?! maybe she forgot I'm older than her?'
She remembered this morning. Zhun Xuying was summoned by the master of The house, they made a deal, Which was celebrated with good morning sex.
Zhun Xuying though about the man himself, if the news his daughter was in a brothel with her spread, wouldn't that man use her as a scapegoat!?
That absolutely can't happen!
"Uhh it's just I never been to this kind of place Young lady, I'm not comfortable. Its understandable Young lady is at the age of being curious, but we shouldn't come here. For an old lady like myself, there's no harm. But Young lady is young and have an image to keep."
Zhun Xuying spared no efforts to look ill while speaking.
Hilda stood by the sidelines only observing.
Zhi Rui couldn't see much of a flaw in Zhun Xuying expressions, but since she saw her the first time today, she decided to break civilities, why bother scheming if you can bend the person's will directly?
Zhi Rui smiled speaking, "Xuying you shouldn't call yourself an old woman, in fact, the age gap only makes it tastier, isn't that right Hilda?"
Zhun Xuying was angry now.
"Young lady please! while I'm your maid, I'm also an elder. I can't accept this kind of joke!"
"Can't Accept?" Zhi Rui smirked.
"Then what are you gonna do Xuying?"
Zhi Rui started talking while Walking up to Zhun Xuying.
"So What If I mistreat you? So what If I abuse you? what you're gonna do about it?"
Zhun Xuying couldn't understand what's happening, "Is this girl crazy?!"
she thought.
Zhi Rui backed Zhun Xuying into the wall. She softly touched Zhun Xyings tight with her fingers. scaring Zhun Xuying, until she started trembling.
Zhi Rui got closer, their bodies were pressed together. Zhun Xuying started to stutter with red-rimmed eyes "P-please Young lady."
Zhi Rui leaned her head toward Zhun Xuying's ears and whispered. "How was daddy's taste? is it true, the older the spicier?"
Zhi Rui suddenly distanced herself and sat down at her own mat, across from Zhun Xuying who was paralyzed with her back against the wall.
'So this is what was all about! Ughh this fucking brat!
Understanding that her lady somehow found out about her deal with the general. Zhun Xuying ceased her act and just stared coldly at the girl across the table.'
"You know, is not wise as the losing side, to have this look on the face."
Hilda who was quiet until now commented.
Zhu Xuying understands such a principle, its because she understands it that she's doing it. If the prey doesn't show some reaction than the predator won't feel at ease. And will provoke the pray until it does.
And Zhu Xuying got the feeling this young miss, did it more as a warning than to amuse herself.
Zhi Rui didn't look at her face, she poured a cup of wine to Hilda, another to Zhun Xuing. The last to herself.
Zhun Xuying saw this and sat. they were on a triangular formation. Hilda was on Zhi Rui's right side, and Zhun Xuyin was across from Zhi Rui.
Zhi Rui broke the silence.
"I could've just threatened you, and tell you to do what I want, how I want. but I learned that if you can make someone want to do their work.
then that's more useful. But before I say anything else, tell me, what has the general given you in exchange for informing on my actions?
"1 common crystal a year."
Zhi Rui suddenly stared at Zhun Xuying in wonder and blurted out.
"You're quite cheap."
Zhun Xuying's eyebrows twitched.
Zhi Rui continued.
"I can offer you an actual chance at living, are you interested in cultivating?"
'Who isn't?!' was writing all over Zhun Xuyings face, but she knew that it's not easy to obtain, even more with someone as weird at this young lady of hers.
Zhi Rui sighed "ugh, I'm tired of doing it step by step, It's simple.
You'll do whatever I tell you to do. If you do a good job I'll bring you to enter light sect with me when the time come.
If you don't agree then you'll die. so how is it?
Zhu Xuying did not believe in promises, but when someone, threatens your life, you don't have the luxury of a second option.
"I understand Young lady. this servant will serve faithfully."
"Now, go call a courtesan to play for us, the wine will taste better."
After ordering, Zhi Rui turned to look at Hilda.
Hilda's feline pupils dilated to rounded black, like a cat that's ready to pounce.
Zhi Rui giggled, took Hilda's cup and downed it, before saying.
It's too early, why don't we have some fun?
