Ch 195: Miao Zi

“Wait!”, seeing Lin Yu was about to drive these beauties away, Bai Jintong spoke.

“Elder Brother Jintong wants to keep one?”, Lin Yu was a little surprised, Bai Jintong was not a lecherous person.

“Xiao Yu! They’re already here! It’s not good to send them back like this!”, Bai Jintong waved his hand and said.

“Hmm?”, Lin Yu understood Bai Jintong’s meaning when he saw him say this.

“Xiao Bing! How about this! There’s no need for a shared bath! Xiao Yu needs to conserve his energy to prepare for his wedding! But these sisters have it hard too, so let them dance and sing for us! The price will be paid as usual!”, Bai Jintong said.

“Ah!? Good! Good!”, Xiao Bing didn’t care what kind of tricks the guests liked, as long as they were willing to spend money.

“Ling’er! Go get the instruments!”, Xiao Bing said to the leading woman.

“Yes! Sister Bing!”, these women had all grown up in brothels since they were young, so playing musical instruments and singing were naturally easy for them.

After a while, the women returned, not adding any clothes, still scantily clad, but each holding a musical instrument in their hands.

Lin Yu, Hua Kong, and Bai Jintong took a bath while listening to the women singing popular tunes from Jinghai Star. These young girls were very young, and the songs they sang were nothing more than songs about longing, love, and affection. For the three of them, who were already “ten thousand year old monsters”, it was quite interesting.

After the three of them had soaked for a full half an hour, and the girls were tired of singing their little tunes, they pulled the three of them out of the water and used cloths to rub the mud off them.

Although the three of them were ten thousand year old monsters, they were all high-level cultivators, and they weren’t dug out of the mud, so they didn’t have the troubles of mortals or low-level cultivators. After rubbing for a long time, nothing came off.

“Ah! It’s actually three Lords!”, a little girl said.

“Juan’er, shut up! This is the Son-in-Law Lin!”, another woman said in a low voice. The girl named Juan’er quickly shrank her neck and made a frightened expression, very mischievous.

Seeing that they couldn’t rub off any mud, the women split up, three women responsible for each person, and began to massage Lin Yu, Hua Kong, and Bai Jintong.

These women were only about seventeen or eighteen years old, but because they had grown up in brothels and were selected to serve people, they had already lost their virginity. Their behavior was very bold, and they would occasionally make small movements to test the three of them, to see if it would cause the three of them to “become beastly”. They always felt that the three of them were pretending to be serious, and were actually unmoved when they saw them in revealing clothes and youthful beauty.

What these women didn’t know was that Lin Yu, Hua Kong, and Bai Jintong weren’t pretending to be serious. It was just that as cultivators above the Realm Lord level, what kind of beauties hadn’t they seen or tasted? Although their looks and figures were very good, for the three of them who had just returned from Da Ying Star, messing around in a brothel was not an option.

The reason why Bai Jintong kept a few of them was purely because he didn’t want the Zhao Family to think that Lin Yu was a person who was “difficult to get along with”. There were too many people in large families who were calculating and scheming. He was a useless person who couldn’t do anything, so he felt that everyone else was the same. Once others did something that was different from what he expected, he would definitely make up stories about it.

Lin Yu, as a prince before, had a very methodical way of doing things, and didn’t care much about the malice of these small characters. But this was one thing at one time, another at another time. Lin Yu was almost equivalent to marrying into the Zhao Family. If he performed too well, it might not be a good thing. The malice of small characters could also bring a lot of trouble. Bai Jintong, who had climbed up from the bottom of the Bai Family, had seen too much of this.

After the three of them enjoyed a slightly intimate massage, they were arranged to put on a light long shirt to cover the important parts of their bodies. Xiao Bing appeared again and led the three of them to a large room behind the bathhouse. Walking into the room, the three of them realized that it was actually a small theater.

There were only a few round tables on the floor, filled with wine, Spirit Fruit, and desserts. On the stage, there was a beautiful woman singing a song. The woman wore light makeup and a light pink dress, her beauty was otherworldly.

“Son-in-Law Lin! This is Miss Miao Zi, a famous courtesan in Jinghai City. Our Master spent a lot of money to invite her to perform here for a month. You’re so lucky!”, Xiao Bing said in a low voice.

“Good! Good!”, Lin Yu remained noncommittal. As a prince and a high-level cultivator, he had seen many beauties, and he knew how to enjoy wine and women in moderation. After ten thousand years of cultivation, indulging in sensual pleasures had always been just a refined hobby, something he did occasionally.

Xiao Bing led the three of them to sit at a round table. There were only the three of them in the entire venue. This Miao Zi was actually performing specifically for them. This Miao Zi lived up to her reputation, her voice was melodious and pleasant, and the tune was very pleasing to the ear.

The three of them looked at this Miao Zi a few times, and they all felt that she was indeed a beauty, but that was all. They began to eat the wine and fruits that the little girl next to them handed over, and chatted among themselves.

“Xiao Kong, how is the Nine Tribulation Yin-Yang Refining Spirit Formation’s formation deduced?”, Bai Jintong asked.

“I’ve roughly looked at it. The formation is still relatively complicated! Even if I dedicate myself to deducing it, it will take hundreds of years to complete, and it will take decades to inscribe it!”, Hua Kong replied.

“It’s okay! It’s okay! Understandable!”, For such a powerful formation, hundreds of years was not a long time, and Bai Jintong was quite satisfied.

“How much Blue Spirit Worm blood have you collected?”, Lin Yu asked.

“About a dozen drops! I’m afraid of hurting them, so I’m being conservative!”, Hua Kong replied.

“I’m about the same! Actually, it’s okay, this is just an extra guarantee. We’ll still need to use Soul Locking Grass at that time. A few drops of Blue Spirit Worm blood is enough, it will have the effect of strengthening the Soul Locking Grass!”, Lin Yu said.

“That’s right! That’s probably enough! We’ll divide some for Elder Brother Jintong at that time.”, Hua Kong replied.

“It’s okay! There’s still time!”, Bai Jintong wasn’t worried about the Creation Avatar, after all, it would take hundreds of years to deduce and inscribe the formation.

Just as the three of them were chatting, they suddenly heard the music on the stage stop, so they looked up at the stage and saw the courtesan named Miao Zi getting up and walking towards the backstage.

The three of them were a little strange, but they didn’t say much, and still wanted to chat, but they saw Xiao Bing running out from the backstage.

“Son-in-Law Lin! Two Young Masters! Miss Miao Zi is a little tired and wants to rest for a while. I’ll have the sisters in the shop sing for you later!”, Xiao Bing said a little awkwardly.

“Good! Good!”, the three of them didn’t mind and waved their hands.

“Okay! Son-in-Law Lin, Young Masters! Then I’ll go over there first!”, Xiao Bing was relieved to see that the three of them didn’t care, and turned to leave.

“Okay! Oh~~ wait a minute, send this to Miss Miao Zi! Just say that the three of us thank her!”, Bai Jintong said, taking out a Blood Jade he had obtained from Da Ying Star and handing it to Xiao Bing.

“Blood Jade!”, the people at the table, including Lin Yu and Hua Kong, were a little shocked.

“Elder Brother Jintong! You’re quite generous!”, Lin Yu said in shock.

“Haha! This girl is not bad, I’ll give her a big gift! Let’s see how she responds!”, Bai Jintong didn’t hide his thoughts.

“Elder Brother Jintong wants to take her in?”, Lin Yu understood Bai Jintong’s thoughts.

“Yes!”, Bai Jintong said with a smile.

“Xiao Bing! Send it quickly!”, Bai Jintong urged.

“Okay! Young Master Bai!”, Xiao Bing took the Blood Jade and quickly ran towards the backstage.

“Elder Brother Jintong, aren’t you afraid of offending someone? This courtesan must be coveted by someone!”, Lin Yu asked.

“So what? Although she grew up on the Zhao Family’s territory! But I’m not bad either! She’s a courtesan, it’s good enough for her to meet someone like me! If she finds someone with a first wife, they might kill her if they don’t like her! Isn’t it better to follow me than to please these playboys all day long?”, Bai Jintong said confidently.

“Hehe! Elder Brother Jintong is right!”, what else could Lin Yu and Hua Kong say? Bai Jintong didn’t use force.

“Young Master Bai! Young Master Bai!”, after a while, Xiao Bing ran out from the backstage happily, calling out in a low voice, waving a pink handkerchief in her hand.

“Miss Miao Zi agreed!?”, Bai Jintong was also a little surprised.

“Agreed! Agreed! This is the price!”, Xiao Bing handed over the handkerchief and a piece of paper with a smile on her face.

“Fifty thousand Light Stones for her freedom dues! Two thousand Light Stones for a farewell banquet! Two thousand Light Stones for a red envelope! One hundred thousand Light Stones for settling down! Three thousand Light Stones for a monthly salary! Ten thousand Light Stones for an annual bonus! Okay! I agree! Go find the Brothel Keeper!”, Bai Jintong said heroically.

“Okay~~ Young Master Bai!”, Xiao Bing was overjoyed when she heard Bai Jintong agree, and ran out to tell the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion boss about this.

“Young Master! Have a piece of ice cake!”, seeing Bai Jintong so generously paying for Miao Zi’s freedom dues, the maid who had been serving him silently immediately smiled and offered him a snack.

“Good! Good! Not bad!”, Bai Jintong was in a good mood to be able to take down Miao Zi so smoothly.

Because Miao Zi was going to be redeemed, she was no longer suitable to go on stage. In the end, only the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion’s own singers came out to sing. These women also sang quite well, but they were much worse than Miao Zi. After half an hour, Xiao Bing led a middle-aged man and a charming woman.

The man was energetic and looked very shrewd and capable. He should be the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion boss, and the woman was wearing a bright red robe, her steps swaying and frivolous, and it was obvious that she was the Brothel Keeper.

“Which one is Young Master Bai?”, the Brothel Keeper heard that the Bai Family Young Master was going to redeem Miao Zi, and knew that she had met a rich man, so she naturally had a smile on her face.

“I am!”, Bai Jintong said lightly.

“Young Master Bai, I am Mama Guo. This old woman is being polite. I want to let Young Master know! Miao Zi is my precious darling! Our whole family depends on her for food! Of course, she can be redeemed, I can’t ruin my good daughter’s future! But if she leaves, our whole family will starve, you must be merciful!”, the Brothel Keeper said with a pretentious and sad expression, as if Miao Zi was her own daughter, but these were all the Brothel Keeper’s lines, and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

“Haha! Of course! Of course! Mama Guo, don’t worry! You name a price!”, Bai Jintong already knew the price and didn’t want to say more.

“Young Master Bai isn’t in a hurry, is he? It’s no exaggeration to say that my Miao Zi is a beauty that is hard to find on earth! Who doesn’t like her!? Before, a Lord from the Zhao Family offered a million to redeem her, but this old woman didn’t agree! I can’t mistreat my daughter, and do something that would make my loved ones sad and my enemies happy!”, the Brothel Keeper acted online, shedding tears.

“A million taels of gold? That’s indeed too little! I’ll offer one hundred thousand Light Stones!”, Bai Jintong said with a smile.

“Gold!? Young Master Bai! Young Master Bai! Is my Miao Zi so worthless? Of course it’s Light Stones! A million Light Stones!”, the Brothel Keeper almost fainted when she heard Bai Jintong say a million gold, and the tears stopped flowing. She directly quoted a million Light Stones.

“That’s too outrageous! I can buy several brothels like yours for a million Light Stones! Two hundred thousand Light Stones!”, Bai Jintong said disdainfully.

“Oh~~, Young Master Bai, my Miao Zi is a virgin, how can she be compared to those worn-out flowers? It’s a pity that my good daughter has guarded her body like jade until now, is she only worth so little? Nine hundred and ninety thousand?”, the Brothel Keeper obviously thought that Bai Jintong was a sucker and quoted a price randomly.

It was obvious that there would be no end to this kind of bargaining. The Drunken Fragrance Pavilion boss had already heard about the whole process from Xiao Bing, and understood that Bai Jintong already knew roughly how many Light Stones were needed, so he began to mediate.

“Mama Guo, don’t be unreasonable. I won’t let Young Master Bai suffer a loss. I think three hundred thousand Light Stones is about right!”, the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion boss was an old-timer on this street. The freedom dues for a courtesan like Miao Zi was roughly around two hundred thousand, but Miao Zi was indeed much better looking, so he added one hundred thousand Light Stones.

“Three hundred thousand!…”, the Brothel Keeper knew that Miao Zi’s potential was more than that, and wanted to continue to raise the price, so she started arguing again.

After a long time of arguing, with the help of the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion boss, the Brothel Keeper finally agreed to redeem Miao Zi for a price of five hundred thousand Light Stones plus a red envelope of fifty thousand Light Stones, which was only a little higher than Miao Zi’s own estimated price.
