"I saw that man being arrogant and domineering, stomping on the brothel madam and hitting Gui Gong, even boasting that if he wasn't allowed to have his way for free, he'd blow up the outhouse and stir heaven and earth. The madam begged for mercy repeatedly, but he took advantage of her in every way imaginable—front and back, left and right, even in depth, discovering all there was to know,"
"The madam, furious yet helpless, could only continue to beg for mercy, saying she would offer Chun Se, the finest girl, to this scoundrel."
As Xingmu delivered this blow, the storyteller in the teahouse immediately became impassioned. "Chun Se is a widely celebrated beauty in Shangjing, known throughout the Thirteen Cities of the Northern Ring—who in Shangjing doesn't know of Chun Se? Usually, even high-ranking officials struggle to catch a glimpse of her, and here this thief became like a rabid wolf upon hearing her name, demanding the madam to bring out Chun Se at once."
