Chapter 13: Drunken Spring Breeze (Part 2)

  The fluttering sleeves fell, the soft music of the pipa stopped abruptly, even the waiters in the hall who were serving tea and water froze in their tracks, lost their souls and stood still, letting the tea water flow from the spout of the teapot onto the floor, the luxurious and noisy hall was suddenly silent, so quiet that a needle dropping to the ground could be heard.

  Everyone's eyes were fixed on the entrance.

  That red long fur coat stood there, its beautiful lines flowing down her slender body like water, and her entire being seemed to be surrounded by a thin layer of light, separating her from the objects around her. Although she was standing there alive, she gave off an ethereal and unreal feeling. The pale color was noble yet elegant, the soft white ermine trim emitted a subtle luster, and her skin as fair as snow was naturally and perfectly beautiful - beauty that could not be matched by any object.

  "Flower mom, who is this woman? Damn it, tonight I'm treating - "

  Suddenly, a coarse and hoarse voice broke the quiet atmosphere. The language was extremely crude. With a loud "bang", white silver ingots spilled all over the table.

  "As long as you serve me well, all this silver is yours. How about it, beauty?"

  A pair of eyes shining with a sharp light stared straight at Xia Ziwei across the table, as if they wanted to swallow her whole. Those eyes full of desire made Xia Ziwei tremble involuntarily. Just as she was about to speak, a disdainful cold hum interrupted her.

  "That little bit of money, you dare to show off in front of me? Flower mother, name a price, this woman, I'm going to settle it today, no matter how much money, I can afford it!"

  All around, a sea of protesters surged forward, their voices of dissent ringing out incessantly.

  The old procuress, who had always leaned on the balcony, had never seen such a strange scene as today. Usually, no matter how many officials came to buy the girl's night, none of them were as generous as the one today. The girls at the door were beautiful, but after all, they were not the ones favored by Zui Chunfeng. However, this was Ning Wang's property, and in this world, who dared to defy Ning Wang? Since this woman had come in, she would find a way to make her unable to leave this door, otherwise, the silver would be paid in vain.

  Xia Zi Li stared blankly at the scene in front of her, shocked and pale, and turned around to escape.

  "Stop her—"

  The flower mother made a wink, and Xia Zi was immediately stopped by the guard at the door.

  "Let me out!" she cried in terror, her frantic gaze fixed on the two tall and muscular men with cold expressions blocking her way.

  "Miss, did you know that this Drunken Spring Breeze is a place where only women are allowed in, but not out?"

  "What does it mean?" Xia Zi's voice trembled as she turned her head, the old madam's stout body emitting a greasy perfume that made her feel nauseous.

  As soon as she saw her weak and delicate appearance, the old prostitute was even more delighted in her heart. A woman like this is easy to control, once caught, it's easy to teach her a lesson by letting a few men discipline her, and there's no need to worry that she won't obey. Today is really a blessing from heaven, unexpectedly letting her pick up such a treasure, the business of Drunken Spring Breeze will surely thrive in the future.

  "Girl, look at you so tender and delicate. I won't make things difficult for you, Flower Mom. You see, today you came here and ruined my Drunken Spring Breeze's business. These people are our old customers who have been coming here all along. If you leave, these guests will definitely not stay, and my Drunken Spring Breeze's business can't go on, so you can't leave."

  Xia Zi suddenly opened her eyes wide and said, "No... it can't be like this..."

  In an instant, a large hand belonging to a drunkard pulled her over, reeking of alcohol all over his body.

  "Little beauty, tonight you're mine—"

  "Let go—"

  "Let her go—"

  Two voices sounded at the same time——

  A lazy and charming male voice came from the corridor on the second floor.

  Everyone's gaze was directed upwards, on the crimson balcony, a figure in a light purple robe leaned lazily against a large stone pillar behind him, with beautiful phoenix eyes that sparkled with allure, and a subtle smile playing on his lips, exuding an air of wickedness.

  "Nangong Jin, do you know who I am? How dare you stop me from having fun?"

  The man grasping Xia Ziyu gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with indignation.

  "Master——" The old procuress's haughty demeanor suddenly subsided, and she stood upright on the spot, calling out in a gentle voice.

  "Of course, I know who you are. The only son of the Grand Councilor, Lord Cui, a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and the younger brother of Her Majesty the Empress, one of the three young masters of the capital city, Master Cui Min..."

  Choi Min let out a cold snort.

  "You know who I am, yet you dare to be so rude to me?"

  A man in purple clothes with a demonic appearance on the balcony still had a sarcastic smile, his eyes looked at Xia Ziwei and asked softly

  "So, do you know who she is?"
