Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1047: Endless Amusement

The night had fallen. Although there weren't any twinkling neon lights here, the colorful street lights were also present.

Qin Yi, Yun Mengyao, and Lao Liu walked along the street.

"I never thought that in such a wild place, there would be nightlife," Qin Yi remarked with some surprise.

Because there were more people here at night than during the day.

"Young Master Qin, once we finish our business, I'll take you to a fun place, guaranteed to be to your liking," Lao Liu said with a fawning smile.

Currently, his life was in Qin Yi's hands. Whether he lived or died depended on his behavior. Therefore, he was trying his best to please Qin Yi to have a chance at survival.

Curious, Qin Yi asked, "What fun place?"

Lao Liu glanced at Yun Mengyao and whispered, "Young Master Qin, you'll know once you go. I promise you'll like it."

Just as Qin Yi was about to inquire further, a waft of rouge scent blew in on the wind. He instinctively looked up and saw a vermilion pavilion decorated with colorful lanterns. At the entrance, women dressed simply, with their figures partly visible, were greeting and sending off guests with cheerful laughter, making it quite lively.

As a man, how could he not know what kind of place this was?

A pleasure quarter, also known as a brothel.

Qin Yi spotted the plaque, which had the words Miaoqu Pavilion.

The name didn't sound like a pleasure quarter at all.

Lao Liu had been watching Qin Yi's expression. Seeing Qin Yi's gaze fixed on the Miaoqu Pavilion, Lao Liu's eyes flickered slightly as he whispered, "Young Master Qin, this is the place I mentioned earlier."

Qin Yi: "…" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Damn, the fun place he mentioned was actually visiting a brothel?

However, in this world, brothels operated legally with royal approval. Men frequenting brothels was a common practice.

Yun Mengyao gave Lao Liu a cold look.

Lao Liu immediately shrank his neck, feeling a chill down his spine.

Feigning ignorance, Qin Yi asked, "Lao Liu, what exactly is this Miaoqu Pavilion?"

Lao Liu gave a knowing look shared by all men, then chuckled, "Young Master Qin, you have to experience it yourself to understand what Miaoqu Pavilion is like. I guarantee, once you go in, you'll find it endlessly fascinating and won't want to leave."

"Do you have a death wish?" Yun Mengyao glanced at Lao Liu.

Lao Liu's face turned ashen, and he dared not say another word.

Qin Yi, looking like a naive child, said with curiosity, "What kind of place is this? Lao Liu makes it sound so mysterious. Let's go in and have a look. The black market might be hidden inside the Miaoqu Pavilion."

Yun Mengyao: "…"

"Qin Yi, you've just come to the Primordial World, so don't be in such a hurry to reveal your true nature."

Qin Yi's mouth twitched slightly, giving an awkward laugh, "What are you talking about?"

"Do you really not know what kind of place this is?"

Qin Yi shook his head, "You know I just got here and don't know much about many things."

"This is a place only those filthy men go to. If you want to go, I won't stop you."

"Filthy men? Is it a beggars' den?"

"Pretty much, it's filled with buffoons trying every trick to get money, just like those internet celebrities on your Earth."

Qin Yi: "…"

This woman seems to have some misunderstanding about internet celebrities. While some do resort to vulgar antics for fame, there are many talented ones too, you can't paint them all with the same brush.

"Let's go."

Yun Mengyao, not wanting to argue further about how interesting Miaoqu Pavilion was, said coldly and walked ahead.

Qin Yi looked at Lao Liu and winked, "Once we're done, let's sneak back here."

Lao Liu nodded fawningly.

Suddenly, Yun Mengyao stopped and turned to look.

Qin Yi and Lao Liu immediately straightened up.

Under Yun Mengyao's gaze, Lao Liu felt cold sweat trickle down his back. They spoke so softly, could her hearing really be that terrifying?

"Aren't you going to lead the way, or do you not want your legs anymore?"

Hurriedly, with a fawning smile, Lao Liu led the way. Inwardly, he was complaining; no wonder Qin Yi wanted to seek pleasure elsewhere, as this woman, despite looking like a celestial fairy, had an awfully big temper. A woman should be kinder and gentler.

...

"Young Master Qin, Fairy Yun, we've arrived."

Yun Mengyao's pretty face was filled with anger, "Do you really think I won't kill you?"

Qin Yi also felt speechless. This Lao Liu was being a bit too eager, having led them right to the brothel's entrance.

The vermilion pavilion before them was similar to the Miaoqu Pavilion, only the name was different, this one was called Ruyi Hall.

A brothel is a brothel, they sure like to pretend to be cultured, giving themselves an elegant name like this.

If you're going to be a prostitute, don't think you can put on airs.

Lao Liu's face turned pale with horror as he looked at Yun Mengyao, "Fairy Yun, the black market is just below this Ruyi Hall."

Yun Mengyao squinted her eyes in suspicion, "Really?"

"How could I dare to deceive the fairy? Even if I had ten guts I wouldn't dare."

Yun Mengyao said coldly, "If you dare deceive me, I'll kill you immediately."

"I don't dare deceive the fairy," Lao Liu said hurriedly.

"Let's go in then," Qin Yi said eagerly, purely out of curiosity, as someone from the modern era, he hadn't had the chance to visit a brothel. Now that he encountered one, he might as well experience it.

Suddenly, Qin Yi glanced at Yun Mengyao, "Women can't enter brothels, right?"

"That's right, brothels don't entertain women. Fairy Yun is too pretty, if you go in, you'll outshine the others, people might think you're here to stir up trouble," Lao Liu took the opportunity to flatter.

Little did he know, this flattery hit the wrong note, as Yun Mengyao snapped angrily: "Are you asking for death? How dare you compare me to those women?"

Lao Liu trembled, slapped himself twice, and pleaded, "Fairy Yun, calm down, it's my fault, please don't be angry…"

Yun Mengyao gave Lao Liu a cold glance before turning her gaze to Qin Yi, "Didn't you say you didn't know what kind of place this is? How do you know it's a brothel and that women can't go in?"

Qin Yi: "…"

Damn, I was careless. My mouth ran faster than my brain.

"Lao Liu told me," Qin Yi looked at Lao Liu with a smile, "You just told me, right?"

Facing Qin Yi's white teeth, Lao Liu shivered and quickly nodded, "Yes, Young Master Qin didn't know what kind of place this was, I just found the time to tell him."

Yun Mengyao coldly chuckled, casting a sidelong glance at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi felt embarrassed, as Yun Mengyao's expression clearly showed disbelief.

"You two wait for me here."

"Where are you going?"

Yun Mengyao didn't respond, heading off without a backward glance.

"That's impolite," Qin Yi muttered.

"Young Master Qin, the women inside are the most beautiful in Fengwang City, gentle and sensible."

Qin Yi chuckled, "I hear that prostitutes are categorized into different ranks?"

Lao Liu nodded, "That's right, Young Master Qin. Prostitutes are divided into 'Chang' and 'Ji'. 'Chang' refers to those making a living selling their bodies. The requirements for 'Ji' are much higher; they are supposed to be skilled in arts but don't sell their bodies, and they have to be very pretty and proficient in the four arts of zither, go, calligraphy, and painting."

Qin Yi's expression became a bit peculiar, "Are there male prostitutes?"

Lao Liu shook his head.

Qin Yi smiled silently, thinking of Mo Wuji when it came to proficiency in the four arts.
