Chapter 188 Misty Rain Tower.
Chapter 188 Misty Rain Tower.
Jiang Xue knew that when Lin Yiyi said "return", she meant returning to that world. She thought about it carefully and said, "Think about it. There is not so much fighting and killing there. Just think about how free we are."
Lin Yiyi leaned her head on Jiang Xue's shoulder, her lips curved, and said, "I want to go back, too." Then she looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Do you think we can still go back?"
"can."
"Then how can we get back?"
Jiang Xue looked at the slightly rippling river in front of her and said calmly, "Maybe after we finish living Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi's life here, we can go back."
Lin Yiyi hugged Jiang Xue's arm and nodded, "Maybe."
Jiang Xue suddenly looked at Jiang Xue, her eyes shining, Lin Yiyi looked at Jiang Xue in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Yiyi, since we can't go back, let's live out our lives here. Since we can live well in that world, we can do the same in this world. We don't care about those men!"
Lin Yiyi nodded solemnly, and then said with a smile: "Yes, think about how carefree we were before, it's so frustrating here."
"Let's go drink and enjoy our nightlife."
"Walk."
The gloom on their faces just disappeared in an instant, and their backs walked briskly towards the downtown area.
At this time, sky lanterns had already been released on the street. Everyone gathered together and prayed to the gods. Time stood still for a second or two, and then everyone released the sky lanterns in their hands.
Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi stood on the bridge looking at the sky full of lanterns, with bright lights flashing in their eyes, like stars in the sky, illuminating the entire capital city.
After all the sky lanterns were released, the people dispersed and continued walking forward, following the large group in front to watch the dragon dance performance.
Jiang Xue held Lin Yiyi's hand and walked forward along with the crowd.
At this time, Pei Zhijin was walking against the flow of the crowd, looking for Jiang Xue in the crowd with panic eyes.
Not sure if God was playing a joke on them, the two of them just happened to pass by each other in the crowd. When Pei Zhijin turned around, his view was blocked by someone. When the person in front of him walked forward, Jiang Xue had already disappeared.
Pei Zhijin frowned slightly. He seemed to have sensed Jiang Xue just now, but when he looked around, he still didn't see Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi asked people about places in the capital for eating, drinking and having fun, and then headed towards Huaxiang.
Lin Yiyi had come to Huaxiang before to catch Hongying. At that time, it was too dark and she didn't pay attention to the shops on the street. Now when she came again, she only heard the bustling voices inside and the sound of stringed instruments faintly coming from the alley.
Lin Yiyi didn't realize that Hongying was quite good at hiding places. In the red-light district, colorful lights were hung outside each store, making it seem like she had entered a fantasy world.
Most of the people coming in and out were those seeking pleasure, but Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi discovered that the largest number of people coming in and out were women. They were all dressed brightly and delicately, with the most fashionable flower ornaments on their foreheads. They walked in groups of two or three, talking and laughing, dressed in gorgeous clothes, which showed that this was a den of debauchery.
As soon as Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi walked in, they heard shouts from inside and warm greetings from the shop owners.
Continuing to walk forward, when they were almost halfway there, they saw the tallest building, which was hung with colorful lights from top to bottom. It had the most colorful lights on the entire street, and was also the most luxurious place.
Jiang Xue stopped and looked at Lin Yiyi excitedly and said, "We're here."
Lin Yiyi looked up. The lights were on. The sound of stringed instruments and women's laughter could be heard from inside. She saw two men standing outside soliciting customers.
Lin Yiyi understood something in an instant, and then looked at Jiang Xue in surprise: "This is..."
"Yes, this is the largest den in the capital, and it is also a den for women to spend their money."
Lin Yiyi raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Then let's go in and take a look?"
"Walk."
As soon as they stepped onto the stairs, the two men standing outside immediately walked towards Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi, smiling brightly and saying softly, "You two look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"
Jiang Xue looked at the two men in front of her. They were wearing deep V white brocade robes, had handsome faces, and had half their hair loose with a jade hairpin casually pinned on it. There were ripples in their eyes.
Jiang Xue smacked her lips in her heart and said, "I didn't expect that the male models standing outside were so good-looking, so there must be a lot of stunning beauties inside, right?"
Lin Yiyi's eyes lit up as well, and she said to the handsome guy in front of her, "Is there a private room?"
"Private room?" one of the men asked.
Lin Yiyi patted her head and changed the subject: "Private room?"
The man raised his lips slightly and nodded, "Yes, both of you please."
Then she made way and Lin Yiyi pulled Jiang Xue in.
As night falls, the most eye-catching thing in Huaxiang is the three huge golden characters "Yanyu Tower", which are shining alluringly under the light of red lanterns.
In the lobby, the sound of stringed instruments wafted into the ears, mixed with the fragrance of cosmetics and wine, and came towards you. In the hall, glazed lanterns were hung high, illuminating every inch of the space with warmth and ambiguity.
The emerald green curtains were hung high, and inside were the laughter of women and men.
"You two, please go upstairs." The man who was at the door just now smiled and pointed the way.
Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi followed him upstairs. The man opened the door in the middle and said, "You can see the stage below from this position. The two girls need someone to accompany them."
Jiang Xue nodded directly and said, "Yes."
The man lowered his head, smiled and said, "Okay, wait a moment, girl." Then he walked out respectfully.
Lin Yiyi observed her surroundings, and then looked down from above. There was someone dancing in the center of the stage. She saw the figure, skin, and slender fingers, but she couldn't see the face.
Lin Yiyi thought it was a woman until the dance ended and the person below lowered the sleeves that covered their faces. Lin Yiyi was stunned. The sword-like eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and the teardrop mole under the right corner of the eye all impacted her vision.
The corners of Lin Yiyi's mouth trembled slightly, as if she didn't believe it, and she didn't react for a long time.
Jiang Xue followed and looked down, only to hear a woman inside making a loud offer: "I'll pay five hundred taels, Mr. Xiao, please accompany me tonight."
"I'll offer one thousand taels!" Someone below became dissatisfied.
"One thousand five hundred taels!"
"Two thousand taels!" the woman continued to shout.
"Two thousand five hundred taels!"
After a while, the two of them called out five thousand taels. The woman looked at the woman who couldn't call out proudly and said, "He belongs to me tonight."
The woman looked at the woman in front of her angrily, but finally stopped yelling.
The woman looked at the madam standing beside her and said, "What are you waiting for? Announce it now!"
The madam immediately reacted and said with a smile, "Since no one is calling for more, then Young Master Xiao will belong to Miss Wang tonight."
"Ten thousand taels!" A voice suddenly came from upstairs, interrupting the madam's words.
