Chapter 251: Chapter 251 Bossing Around the Crown Prince, Once Shy Twice Familiar

Mingyue Fragrance was the only Soul Dissipating Tomb in Mingyue Town.

It was the Fairyland that all men yearned for and the disaster that all women cursed.

In the town, almost every other day, there would be scenes of men squandering all their money inside, being stripped naked, and thrown onto the street.

The owner of the food stall nearby was so accustomed to it that he would even take out a kitchen knife to scare away any such men seeking help.

It wasn’t that the owner lacked compassion, but rather that most of these discarded individuals were irresponsible gamblers who would sell anything for a moment of fleeting joy at the table, some even going as far as pawning their wives and daughters, truly devoid of conscience.

Yan Wanqing and Xiao Pingfeng showed up at Mingyue Fragrance right on schedule during 7-9 PM.

The pair was handsome with straight statures, dressed in blue and white long robes respectively, exceedingly debonair.

Furthermore, Xiao Pingfeng had somehow acquired two fans, which lent an even more distinguished aura to the two, attracting the attention of nearly half the female population in Mingyue Town, which was already scarce of handsome men.

"There seems to be a hint of intentional flirtation," Yan Wanqing coughed dryly, used the fan to cover her face, and whispered.

Xiao Pingfeng was a head taller than her, and amid the noise of music and bamboo flutes, he leaned in to listen, "What?"

"Nothing," Wanqing, not wanting to elaborate, noticed that the women’s looks became more eager as Xiao Pingfeng drew closer to her.

Xiao Pingfeng, however, wouldn’t let her off the hook and continued, "Speaking of which, this is our first time visiting such a place."

"Such experiences should be limited to just one occasion." Knowing the conversation could easily stray again, Yan Wanqing waved to a middle-aged woman who had been sneaking glances at them with her eyes from amongst the crowd, "Madam, come here."

With a "Alright, my lord, coming!" she approached, wearing a colorful Luo skirt exposing her plump shoulders, pinching a Beauty Fan in her hand, and quickly walked over.

In her thirties, her features were not particularly beautiful, but she had snow-white skin and retained her charm.

Especially those willow leaf eyebrows, which exuded gentleness when she looked one’s way.

When the woman reached them, a woody fragrance enveloped them, quite comfortably.

"What would the two lords like to experience tonight?"

"What do you have here?" Xiao Pingfeng asked.

The brothel keeper beamed, eyeing the two, "From the looks of it, you young masters are newly arrived from another place. You won’t find such good-looking gents as yourselves anywhere in Mingyue Town." Satisfied with her eyeful, she didn’t forget business, "Here, if you want fun, go to the left; if you seek tenderness, head to the right."

Both sides were abuzz with noise, but the central hall marked a clear division between the areas.

It was clear that the business owner had a bit of savvy.

Yan Wanqing and Xiao Pingfeng exchanged glances, and she whispered, "What about taking a girl for fun?"

"That would be splendid!" The brothel keeper was ecstatic, as this meant earning double the money.

She attentively looked at Yan Wanqing, "Do you have a particular girl in mind?"

Indeed, there was one.

Yan Wanqing covered half her face with the fan and leaned in, "You have a girl named Shen Shuyun here; she collided with my horse this afternoon, and..."

A hint of wariness flashed in the brothel keeper’s eyes, but it dissolved the instant Xiao Pingfeng handed her a silver ingot, and she quickly cradled it in both hands, "Everything’s negotiable, everything’s negotiable. It’s just that girl has quite a fierce temperament; we at Mingyue Building haven’t quite managed to tidy her up yet."

"No matter, I just like them with a fierce character, it’s dull without a little temper!"

For such a generous client, the brothel keeper wished she had a couple dozen more like him.

"You two go ahead and enjoy yourselves, and I’ll go find her for you."

Yan Wanqing nodded with a smile as the brothel keeper left.

After the woman was gone, she looked to the left, "Shall we play?"

"Sure."

The pair had just taken a seat at the table when the dice had yet to be rolled, and a series of footsteps echoed through the noisy room, followed by everyone’s gazes turning towards them with a trace of mystery.

Yet, Yan Wanqing and Xiao Pingfeng remained calm and collected.

"Let’s start. Why haven’t we started yet?" Yan Wanqing motioned with her fan towards the table.

The croupier shaking the dice cup let out a cold sneer.

"Heaven has a path which you did not take, yet hell has no gate and you insist on barging in!"

"The last guy who yelled at us like that now has grass three meters tall on his grave," Yan Wanqing said with contempt, narrowing her eyes as she stared past the croupier to the madam who had changed her face on the steps: "In what kind of business does one take the money and then start messing with the customers?"

"You call yourselves customers?!" The madam clapped her hands, and in an instant, fierce-looking men blocked the only exit.

They were obviously afraid they’d run.

Or so it seemed. Those two strong men could block a door, a door that was indeed a bit small.

This was the only thought in Yan Wanqing’s mind.

"You go first, or shall I?" the Crown Prince asked.

At that moment, all he wanted was to make this rabble lie on the ground.

"After you, after you," Yan Wanqing responded with utmost politeness, kicking the table and stepping back a meter away with leisure, casually resting her legs crossed and shaking her folding fan.

With free thugs at her disposal, there’s no reason not to use them.

Xiao Pingfeng: "..." He had to admit, she was really straightforward.

Seeing that the two of them did not take them seriously at all, the madam’s eyes filled with murderous intent: "Don’t get too cocky! Attack!"

The moment her words fell, Abiao, whom they had just met during the day, touched his nose and stepped out.

Looking at Xiao Pingfeng, he raised his hand: "No hard feelings, bro. This is just for my bread and butter."

Xiao Pingfeng stood upright, eyebrows raised: "Please, enlighten me."

Abiao was still somewhat polite, unlike the rest of the henchmen who didn’t have such manners and just charged forward.

Xiao Pingfeng didn’t even blink as he used his folding fan as a weapon, striking directly at their necks. In just a few moves, most were lying on the ground.

Seeing Xiao Pingfeng’s exceptionally high combat strength, the madam then turned towards Yan Wanqing: "Go, seize that woman for me!"

With their boss’s roar, the henchmen changed their tactics, most of them still surrounding Xiao Pingfeng to prevent him from freeing his hands to help.

The remaining five strong men approached Yan Wanqing, who still wore a cheery smile.

"Who told you that I’m easy to bully?" she huffed lightly. Her folding fan snapped open, and her Inner Strength flowed down the ribs of the fan. With a wave of her hand, the brutes in front of her felt as light as a feather, and before they could rejoice at the thought of finally being able to fly, they were harshly slammed into the ceiling and then crashed down, seeing stars and wailing on the ground.

Her methods were even more ruthless than Crown Prince’s, who liked to put people to forced sleep.

"You, don’t come any closer!" the madam pointed at Yan Wanqing and cursed, meanwhile shouting at her henchmen: "Aren’t you going to get up quickly? Careful, or I won’t pay you your Silver Coin!"

"Speaking of Silver Coin—" Yan Wanqing stretched out her hand towards the madam.

The madam: "...?"

"You just took a block of silver from us." Yan Wanqing looked at the madam helplessly, hooking her four fingers as if to say, quite a poor business sense: "Hm?"

The madam clearly felt humiliated.

In Mingyue Town for so many years, always the one to bully others, since when was she the one to be bullied!

It was utterly intolerable!

With that in mind, Fu Mingyue clenched her teeth: "Now, whoever ties up this woman for me will become a co-owner of the Mingyue Fragrance."

A raise and a promotion!

Instantly, the groaning thugs on the floor got energized.

Even Abiao, who had always hovered at the edges, opened his eyes wide.

He had seen Xiao Pingfeng’s martial prowess during the day and naturally did not want to step forward and suffer.

But now he could not resist the temptation of money and status.

"Charge! For a better tomorrow!"
