a.m.
Yihong House.
"Mmm..."
Liu Su was tied up tightly, covered in various Imprisonnt Talisman Papers, and even had a cloth stuffed in her mouth, lying pitifully on the bed.
Curse that heartless man!
You’ve ruined !
Bound hand and foot, Liu Su whimpered through the cloth, cursing silently in her heart.
After being "used and discarded" by that scoundrel during the day, Liu Su was rounded up by over ten thugs summoned by Madam Zhang and brought back to Yihong House.
During the battle at Celestial Ridge Mountain, Liu Su also got injured, losing cultivation, but handling these Qi Cultivation Third-Layer underlings was no problem.
However, she couldn’t reveal the Cyan Lotus Sect Cultivation Technique, so she pretended to be a delicate woman and surrendered.
Originally planning to play along and deceive Madam Zhang, Liu Su didn’t expect her to be so ruthless, ordering her to be bound tightly and covered in many Imprisonnt Talismans when she refused to accept clients.
She only intended to fake it, pretending to be captured.
Now it’s real, she can’t escape at all.
Madam Zhang starved her for a day, threatening that if Liu Su didn’t agree to take clients by tomorrow, they’d force-feed her a Passion Pill, making her desires uncontrollable, so she’d willingly throw herself onto the guests’ bed.
Liu Su panicked, but luckily had a few Communication Talismans hidden to communicate with Xia Qinglian, desperately sending out a ssage to the Saintess.
Yet after waiting a long ti without a reply from the Saintess, Liu Su grew increasingly anxious, ntally cursing everyone in Yihong House, directing her resentnt towards that "heartless" man.
That bastard’s insane!
I’m so beautiful, yet you avoid like the plague!
Don’t let see you again!
Huff.
The window shifted slightly, and a red shadow appeared in the room.
"Mmm!"
Seeing the tall figure, Liu Su wriggled on the bed, and Xia Qinglian walked over, extending a hand. A wave of scorching heat surged forth, instantly turning the Imprisonnt Talismans on the ropes to ashes.
Liu Su broke free of the ropes, pulled the cloth from her mouth, and leaped into Xia Qinglian’s arms:
"Mmm, Saintess, if you hadn’t co I would’ve really beco a courtesan!"
Xia Qinglian frowned and asked, "Didn’t Madam Zhang promise not to force you to take clients until you found that special patron?"
Liu Su recounted the day’s events angrily.
The room turned icy, Xia Qinglian spoke coldly:
"You’re saying that person ca to Yihong House again today?"
"Yes! This guy is peculiar, cos and doesn’t seek pleasure, sees and runs away!"
Liu Su said dejectedly.
Xia Qinglian snorted, and Liu Su, sensing the Saintess was in a bad mood, wisely fell silent.
After a mont of silence, Xia Qinglian said, "Leave Yihong House."
"Yes!"
Liu Su was delighted, imdiately bowing in agreent, then asked:
"Saintess, where do I go after leaving Yihong House?"
Xia Qinglian replied coolly, "Tomorrow, go to Narrow Rain Lane, Number 37 at the end of the lane, a Second-Tier Alchemist lives there, recruiting a Spirit-Calling Fan dicine Attendant, go and apply."
"Spirit-Calling Fan dicine Attendant?"
Liu Su clapped her hands, "I’m familiar with this, I used to be the one fanning beside the Saint Master during Alchemy!"
"Saintess, is this Second-Tier Alchemist one of your sches?"
Xia Qinglian said, "Just go and don’t ask questions, nor tell anyone it was I who sent you."
Liu Su was puzzled, suddenly clapped her thigh, realizing:
"I get it, the Saintess suspects this sche, right, and wants to monitor it?"
Xia Qinglian gave her a light look, and Liu Su imdiately clamped her mouth shut, looking around with big, wide eyes.
But even keeping herself quiet, her mouth couldn’t stay shut, the sound seeped through her fingers:
"Saintess, how do I get out?"
Xia Qinglian frowned slightly, Liu Su lowered her hands and quietly repeated:
"Saintess, how do I leave? Madam Zhang won’t let go, even if I run she’ll send people after . If she discovers my connection with you, we’re finished!"
Xia Qinglian furrowed her elegant brows, her face as cold as frost.
...
The next day.
Sothing strange happened at Yihong House.
In the morning, Madam Zhang was found in bed naked, surrounded by over ten pimps, the scene was a ss.
On the table were fifty Spirit Stones, the redemption fee for the Courtesan Ruyi.
Ruyi had left a note, saying she had redeed herself and left Yihong House, urging Madam Zhang not to pursue her.
Otherwise, next ti she’d double the Passion Pill dosage, leaving Madam Zhang to die beneath the bellies of those pimps.
This bizarre incident was quickly covered up within Yihong House, with Madam Zhang sternly warning that anyone who dared to spread the story would face the consequences of swallowing a whole Passion Pill with no outlet.
The Courtesan Ruyi vanished like she evaporated into thin air, never seen again.
Over ti, Ruyi Fairy was gradually replaced by a new courtesan, and she was no longer ntioned.
...
Narrow Rain Lane.
Qin Gengyun erged from the Alchemy Room.
Just in ti to see Qiu Zhihe dismissing two female cultivators who had co to apply.
But seeing their heavy makeup, it was clear they weren’t seriously interested, even if Qiu Zhihe hadn’t intervened, Qin Gengyun wouldn’t spend Spirit Stones to hire such people as his Spirit Fan dicine Attendant.
He sighed, no wonder finding a female dicine Attendant was said to be difficult.
Low-cultivation female cultivators were unwilling, and those with high cultivation disdained the task.
If only he hadn’t restricted it by gender, worse cos to worst, just rent a small room in Narrow Rain Lane for an Alchemy Room, that way he wouldn’t need to only hire female cultivators.
Yes, that’s a good plan.
Just as Qin Gengyun was planning to tweak the information in the Flowing Text Array at the night market, there was a knock on the door.
At that mont, Qiu Zhihe had just entered the kitchen, Qin Gengyun called out to the kitchen:
"Zhihe, I’ll get the door, if it’s another unreliable one, I’ll send her away."
"Hmm."
A light response ca from the kitchen, Qin Gengyun walked over and opened the door, instantly stunned.
"You, how did you find this place?"
Standing at the door, Liu Su also widened her eyes, pointing at Qin Gengyun:
"Damn! You heartless man..."
Imdiately recalling the Saintess’s instructions, she quickly adjusted her expression, gently asking:
"Fellow cultivator, are you recruiting a Spirit-Calling Fan dicine..."
Bam!
Before finishing her sentence, the door slamd shut.
"Who is it?"
Qiu Zhihe ca from the kitchen, asking Qin Gengyun.
Qin Gengyun laughed it off, "Just another shaless one, I sent her away."
Knock knock!
From outside ca a voice, "Hey, heartless man, open the door!"
Qiu Zhihe raised an eyebrow, heading towards the main door, Qin Gengyun hurriedly said:
"Zhihe, no need to pay attention to her, she’ll leave once she’s tired of knocking."
Qiu Zhihe had already opened the door, seeing the panting Liu Su at the entrance, Qin Gengyun helplessly explained:
"Zhihe, I don’t know how this courtesan found her way to Narrow Rain Lane, but I really haven’t..."
"Co in."
Qiu Zhihe said lightly, stepping aside to let the courtesan in.
Qin Gengyun was stunned.
The past few days, Zhihe never let anyone in!
Liu Su was also a bit dumbfounded, she felt this petite female cultivator seed familiar but couldn’t recall where they’d t.
"Uh, I heard you’re recruiting a Spirit-Calling Fan dicine Attendant, I ca to apply."
Without thinking much, Liu Su followed the Saintess’s instructions and stated her purpose.
"You want to be a Spirit-Calling Fan dicine Attendant?"
Qin Gengyun looked Liu Su, the Courtesan Ruyi, over, naturally skeptical.
"Zhihe, I’ll send her away imdiately."
Just about to kick her out, Qiu Zhihe lightly said:
"Alright."
