The next day Hua Heng went out sightseeing in the capital of Quo after all even in the past Hua Heng never went beyond the bounds of their fu. Before the competition starts, she must enjoy herself for a while and go out in her girl outfit.
Some of her inky black hair was curled and tied up adorned with simple but pretty flower pins while most of her hair was straightened down only just the way she liked. She also wore a veil covering the lower part of her face, she knew that her face was so beautiful(not exaggerating but it was the truth) and also she did not to be recognized by people in the army or palace. Hua Heng didn't want to be troubled while she was in the middle of enjoying herself. She got her paper umbrella and went out.
The lowermost area of the capital is bustling with different noises and activities, Àn Će. Àn Će is the dark side of the kingdom where most of the dark dealings and crimes are present.
Whether it is sad, joy, or grief the noises were mixed. Most of the people are men with different auras and positions in life and are now walking around side by side and some of them wear masks or a hat to hide their own identities.
The gambling house called Hongya is bustling with many gamblers. But in the center area of the gambling house, many gamblers pack around circling the four people with their shrewd eyes and gossip mouths. The three guys sitting are silently staring intently at the wooden cup that the red-haired boy is holding.
"Brat dares to trick us again or else we will skin you!" The first guy wearing maroon robes and a hat threatens with his yellowish teeth and mouth spewing saliva
"Tsk.. you ugly...stop opening your canal mouth it's disrupting " the hair boy coldly said as his emerald eyes boringly stared at the wooden cup
"Y-you!-" the guy with maroon robes
"Shut up, Báichī," the cold red-haired said
"What do all of you predict? Hurry and tell" he curtly said in his bored sleepy voice
"*Pei* What a bunch of bird brains" he muttered as he controlled himself from yawning
The three guys glared at him with their shrewd murderous eyes at what they'd heard. Gritting and clenching their teeth and fist they swallowed the blood that surged fort inside. The second guy wearing a yellow robe and hat first to talk.
"Five fours!" He said
"Four three!" The third guy wearing a brown robe and hat said
"Hmph! I will say that the number is six fours!" The maroon robe guy said arrogantly
The red-haired boy looked with mirth in his emerald eyes at the pompous guy and he took a peek at the die inside of the cup. He smirks but it fades instantly and looks up in front.
("Dice" is the plural form of die^^)
Okay remember all of your bets and promises," he said coldly and he opened the cup containing the die
The spectators were astounded by what they saw.
"Look! This is unbelievable ah!" A scrawny man said tapping the shoulder of his friend
"Aiya! A pity tsk tsk tsk that brat had a halo of the goddess of fortune ah !"
" How hateful!"
"Look at Those three tyrant gambler's faces! Aiya! That brat is done for!"
The Three big guys are the tyrant gamblers, in their whole life of gambling they never lose even a single copper but when the small brat appears their entire fortunes and reputations are gone in the blink of an eye. The red-haired boy looked at their dumbfounded face and smugly said
" It's six three hehe I won so I'll take my leave"With a satisfied smile he took the three slightly big bags full of silver and copper coins but before he left he look again
"Bunch of birdbrains" he ridiculed and the red-haired boy swiftly blended himself into the crowds
After the boy left, the spectators likewise dispersed, sharing the news of the occurrences across the entire Àn Će. The three tyrants were unable to throw a temper fit and capture the child who stole their hard-earned money because they vomited blood and fainted from embarrassment.
The word of the downfall of the three tyrannical gamblers quickly went throughout the entire Àn Će. A man with moss-colored hair chuckles heartily as he pats the shoulder of the person next to him, his green eyes gleaming as he smiles mischievously at the red-haired youngster who is focused on the paper bank he is holding.
"You ah! You challenged those guys for their money?! You're a member of one of the richest families and here you are gambling just to earn eh?" The moss-covered person joked.
"You! I don't need to explain myself to you and your bird brain, so stop babbling "The redheaded boy remarked with a displeased grimace on his little, jaded face.
The moss-head guy laughs again and raises his arms showing his surrender
"Hehehe I'll stop I'll stop! A small child must not be provoked or else he will transform into a fierce cub of- Ouch!" He didn't continue this tease when someone him with a small plump sack of coins into his head
Slap!
"You! Why are you hitting me?"
The red-haired boy stated icily and with boredom, "My hands slipped,"
The two individuals continue to argue as they stroll along the road disappearing in the crowds.
The fragrant brothel, a brothel of the highest caliber in An Ce. Multiple types of influential individuals frequent the brothel to gratify their desires and gain intelligence.
Inside the brothel, numerous server girls (prostitutes) carrying trays of delectable delicacies lined up in front of the VIP entrance; this server girl's face was flushed with red and pink, revealing a timid expression.
"Have you seen our VIP guest recently? He's very gorgeous, hehe!" One of the girls whispers to her neighbor.
"Yes! Yes! Oh, he is really attractive!I am envious of the woman he will choose to spend tonight with ah." The girl claimed she was flushed
"Is he a frequent customer? Why did I not recognize him?" The woman behind me stated
"Heh! How can you recognize him if the young master Cao constantly abducts you?" The first girl's taunt
The girls giggle on their lines as they converse with one another. Inside the VIP door is a young man draped in black runic robes who is reclining on a long, plush sofa with his left arm supporting his head while two gorgeous women fan him. The young man has a somewhat slim and broad build. His physical features were smooth and angular, his eyebrows were thick, and he possessed a pair of alluring Phoenix eyes and delicious red lips. His long, dark hair cascaded lazily over his chest and back. In general, this young man was gorgeous, specifically a one-of-a-kind handsome man.
The young man's lovely red cherry lips curve into a seductive smile as he grabs the woman wearing a thin red alluring dress that reveals half of her large white mountains and curvy physique. The young man sat languidly with his robes slightly lowered, revealing a small portion of his white, flawless breast. He smiled seductively at the girl who was staring at him in admiration. Upon seeing her master, the girl jerks out of her trance and hides her flushed face on his chest like a timid kitten.
"Gege, stop teasing this girl" the red-dressed female mewls playfully at the young man.
The young man plays his part by embracing the girl and lightly grasping her waist, with his lips near her ear as his attractive voice responds.
"Oh? I'm teasing you? Then this page will quit taunting you, so what does the cat want from me, hmm?"
The serving girl in his arms, Ting Xi, smiled shyly as if she were a naïve, naive girl, but her eyes revealed her actual intentions.
Greed
Ting Xi is renowned as Yu Yan, a woman whose smile enchants everyone. Yu Yan was attractive with a seductive figure, slim waist, smooth white skin, pink lips, a large chest, large dark brown eyes, a little nose, and smooth brown hair. Her appearance may be considered a concubine for the aristocracy, yet her conduct belongs among prostitutes.
(Yu Yan is drawn from the phrase Yu xiao yan ran, which describes women who have beautiful smiles.)
All of her customers love her especially when she smiles at them. When she smiles, they will be spellbound and whatever she likes they will get for her that's why Ting Xiiss is so confident that the handsome young man beside her will give her what she wants and that is
To marry her
"Hmph! Gege is saying whatever Yu Yan wants gege will do it. Will u promise? Not going back to his words?" She cutely whines leaning her small head on his chest
Hmmmm what a nice scent! this man I like him for me he's the one!
The handsome young man's obsidian eyes flash a cold light as he looks at the woman in his embrace. He then noticed that he had one more server girl on his side, he turned his face and stared at the fiddling young girl wearing a skimpy blue dress with a fearful expression on her small face. The young man's eyes became darker.
This girl is only fourteen Damnit!
He changed his expression turned back to his playful side and looked at the woman on his arm, he smiled seductively yet his eyes were dark.
" Yu Yan wants only to be with Gege," Ting Xi said and looked pitifully at him with her big brown eyes to be with me.
" Yu Yan wants to be withGeGege, to accompany Gege with all his needs, can I stay by your side? Yu Yan....even Yu Yan will be one of your concubines it is alright...Yu Yan wants only to be with Gege" she sadly said as she careless his chest softly with her long slender hands as if asking him to notice her and sympathize with her and take her in
Yu Yan's actions played every time she wants something from her customers and she confidently succeeds each time.
But the young man shows an ugly expression as he looks at the girl in red, He shoves Ting Xi harshly out of his embrace making her squeal and fall off onto the red carpet floor. Shock, Ting Xi looked scared at the handsome man who was smirking evilly at her.
"Gege....."
"Pei! Don't call me by that 'cause it disgusts me when you think of yourself high ah offering yourself to be my concubine? How foolish! This master is not blind to choose a woman like you who is cunning and likes to climb bed with dirty old masters. I'm not that greedy to pick up and marry a woman from a brothel just to be my concubine!" he sneered
Ting Xi was still shocked, the young man grabbed the shaking girl beside Ting Xi and turned to leave but he stopped and looked again at her with an evil look.
"Oh? I forgot" he throws two gold pieces of coins at her and smile
"I enjoyed the nights with you and this is your last reward" Then he left
Nights what he means by being served but no penetration hehe...
The handsome young man looked at the shaking girl beside him and sighed. His alluring eyes revealed a helpless expression.
"Little girl, don't worry I will not touch you ah besides I'm not interested in rolling bed with a child ah anyways you're free now, take this money and go home with your family I'm out" he put five gold coins to the girl's hand and walk away while fanning himself with his newly acquired fan when someone will see him they will stop and stare him with lovestruck and awe on their face saying that they saw a handsome fairy walking.
The little girl was called Si Yue, she was the daughter of a Fisherman. She was kidnapped and sold to the brothel two weeks ago and many men want her to be laid upon because they know that she is new and pure. Si Yue was so scared when finally someone requested her, she wanted to run but the mama was always guarding her. But the guy who requested her never even touched or looked at her with lustful eyes and always played with the other girl, Yu Yan.
Now, the man even spends a large sum of money for her to be freed from the brothel.
Si Yue was glad yet also looked disappointed, the guy was so handsome, and it was the first time to seen a beautiful creature in her lifetime. She never expected today that the guy would push the number one server girl and grab her with his pair of slender hands. She was startled and started to panic.
Ah! I'm next! Wahh
But again she never expected that she would be bought by the young man and tell her that she was free now and left to wait for her to reply. Si Tue stared at the five gold coins that can support her and her family to live for a year, her eyes rimmed with tears and bowed in the direction the young man left a while ago.
"Thank you"
The young man sneezed. He was now strolling on the busy streets to entertain himself while rubbing his itchy nose.
"Who is talking about me behind my back?..... tsk it must be that old man again heh" he murmured when he spotted a beautiful fairy wearing an elegant green Han fu sitting inside a tea shop, the fairy's back was facing the front of his sight and her dark green hair was pulled into a beautiful flower bun with some beautiful pins that enhances more of her hair. He loves to accompany girls, especially girls who catch his attention. He smirked as he stared at the girl sipping her tea alone.
"Another beauty? This master shall accompany you" he confidently walks inside the tea shop and sits in front of the green-dressed woman
" Can I sit here, mi- YOU!!" He never expected that the girl he was interested is a.....
