In the evening, inside the Fenglai brothel, the madam, with a smile on her face, inspected the demeanor of the girls and warmly greeted the arriving guests.
Suddenly, the madam saw three more impeccably dressed guests approaching from outside. The figure of one of them looked very familiar. In less than a breath, the madam recalled who it was, gasped, and fanning her small round fan at double the usual speed, she quickly rushed out.
"Oh, Master Niu, you're here! I thought you had forgotten about my Fenglai brothel. It's been so long since I've seen you!"
Seeing that the madam had recognized him at a glance, Niu Batian immediately burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahahahaha... Aunt San, you have good eyesight. It's been many years since I, Old Niu, came here, I didn't expect you to still remember me!"
"Oh, Master Niu, since you still remember me, how could I ever forget you? It's not just me; Xiao Cui and the others miss you too. They often say that besides you, Master Niu, few genuinely care for them!"
Niu Batian laughed even more heartily. He glanced at Lu Shanjun beside him, then looked up at the Fenglai brothel's signboard.
"Hahahahaha, Aunt San, you're thinking about my money, aren't you?"
"Oh, Master Niu, listen to what you're saying! Please come in quickly, and these two gentlemen, please come right in!"
After excitedly exchanging pleasantries with Niu Batian, the madam's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Lu Shanjun and Wang Youhong. One had a cold and detached expression, yet was graceful and distinguished. The other had red lips, white teeth, and an uncommon handsomeness; his slightly furrowed brow suggested he rarely visited such places of pleasure.
Lu Shanjun noticed the madam's fan fluttering at a speed comparable to Hu Yun's tail wagging when happy, realizing she was genuinely in a good mood, not faking it. He then glanced at the somewhat reserved Wang Youhong, and with a slight smile, he entered the Fenglai brothel with the heartily laughing Old Niu.
Outside, Wang Youhong shook his head slightly and followed them in. He certainly wouldn't appear nervous simply because he was in this kind of establishment; his restraint was due to coming to such a place with Niu Batian and Lu Shanjun.
The madam swayed as she walked ahead, and once inside the building, she shouted upwards.
"Girls, Master Niu is here~~~"
At once, most of the women in the brothel heard. Apart from the many newcomers, most of the girls were inwardly delighted. Some who didn't have clients even rushed out of their rooms and leaned over the balcony railings, peering into the central hall.
"Mama, has Master Niu arrived?"
"Master Niu is back?"
"Is it true?" "Where is Master Niu?"
"Where is Master Niu?"
Some girls leaned on the railing, looking, but only saw the madam, who was beaming with smiles.
"Mama?"
The madam nodded upwards and smiled as she looked behind her. Sure enough, Old Niu, accompanied by Lu Shanjun and Wang Youhong, walked in with an air of nonchalance. He looked up at the railings above, causing many girls in the Fenglai brothel to exclaim in surprise and joy.
"Master Niu!" "It really is Master Niu!"
"Ah! Master Niu is here!"
"Master Niu, Xiao Cui misses you so much!"
"Master Niu, why haven't you visited for so long!"
The Fenglai brothel was filled with the joyful chirping of women. Some women and customers who didn't know Niu Batian were extremely surprised, as it was rare to see courtesans so excited.
Lu Shanjun was somewhat composed, but Wang Youhong was truly astonished. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that some of the women actually had tears in their eyes. Moreover, wasn't he and Lu Shanjun better looking than Niu Batian? Yet all those excited girls were looking at Old Niu; only those women who were similarly surprised and bewildered would spare them a few glances.
Old Niu proudly winked at Lu Shanjun and Wang Youhong, then strode forward. At this point, the madam came over, fanning herself and smiling widely.
"Well, Master Niu, didn't I tell you the girls all miss you? I wasn't just making it up~~"
"Hahaha, indeed. Since that's the case, how about I don't pay today?"
The madam's face instantly stiffened. She forced a smile and lightly hit Old Niu with her fan.
"Oh, Master Niu, please don't joke around. Who doesn't know you're never short of money~~"
"Hahahahaha..."
Old Niu immediately burst into laughter again. After telling the madam to "take good care of my friends," he quickly departed, surrounded by numerous girls, leaving Lu Shanjun and Wang Youhong staring at each other awkwardly in the central hall.
Wang Youhong watched Old Niu go upstairs in a daze, then turned to look at Lu Shanjun.
"He... he just left?"
The madam, still beaming, had been watching the two. Now, swaying, she moved closer.
"Gentlemen, there's no need to rush. Both of you are handsome, and the girls are quite fond of you. We will certainly make proper arrangements for both of you, hehehehe..."
Lu Shanjun tapped the folding fan in his hand, then opened it with a "swish," revealing a faint smile.
"Prepare a good table of food and wine. Don't arrange any common or vulgar girls."
"Yes, yes, yes, of course. Gentlemen, please follow me~~"
The madam's heart pounded a few times; she was completely captivated by Lu Shanjun's smile. She quickly fanned herself and led the way.
Wang Youhong's eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Shanjun with even more surprise, as if meeting him for the first time. Seeing Lu Shanjun walk away, he quickly followed.
At the Fenglai brothel, food and wine were always ready so honored guests would not have to wait long. A moment later, an elegantly furnished hall with a large round table was set with a variety of delicious food and wine.
Wang Youhong sat at the table, holding a cup and chopsticks, only taking small sips and bites. Meanwhile, Lu Shanjun, exhibiting a similarity to his master, continuously picked up food with his chopsticks. His eating wasn't aggressive, yet his speed was far from slow.
"This gentleman, I'd like to toast you!" "This gentleman, let me give you a back rub!"
"This gentleman, I'm tired. May I sit on your lap?"
Seven or eight girls surrounded Lu Shanjun and Wang Youhong, but Lu Shanjun only focused on drinking and eating. Wang Youhong would at most offer a smile to the girls beside him, without speaking a word.
It wasn't until Lu Shanjun finished another cup of wine that he coldly looked left and right and lightly uttered a single word.
"Scram."
His tone was very calm, but it conveyed an extremely terrifying feeling, causing all the girls to not dare utter a single word of dissent, and they scattered away as if startled.
At this point, Wang Youhong finally couldn't help but speak. With his five senses, he had long since heard the tantalizing gasps and screams coming from the direction of Old Niu's laughter; it sounded like he was having a great time.
"How much longer are we going to play?"
Lu Shanjun gave Wang Youhong a cold look.
"You didn't have to come."
"You..."
Unlike others who avoided Lu Shanjun and Niu Batian like the plague, Wang Youhong, ever since clarifying their close relationship with Ji Yuan, would never miss an opportunity to follow along if there was a chance to help. His purpose was also simple: he hoped to also present himself for credit before Ji Yuan in the future, and have more opportunities to get closer to Zao Niang.
The madam outside watched anxiously, seeing another group of girls being dismissed. Some of the women were resentful.
"Who comes to a brothel just to eat!" "Exactly!"
The madam hesitated repeatedly, then finally gritted her teeth and hurried away to summon someone from the back courtyard. About fifteen minutes later, the madam reappeared before Lu Shanjun, bringing with her a dazzlingly beautiful woman.
"Hehehe, gentlemen, this is Miss Lu Yan'an. She's a treasure of my Fenglai brothel, who only performs arts, not sells her body. Miss Yan'an, please attend to these two gentlemen well!"
The madam smiled and glanced back as she turned to leave. Sure enough, she saw both Lu Shanjun's and Wang Youhong's gazes fixed on Lu Yan'an. She immediately smiled and closed the door.
Miss Lu looked at Lu Shanjun and Wang Youhong with a smile. Biting her lip, she displayed an expression of both shyness and desire.
"Gentlemen, I usually only serve a few princes and dukes. Coming out today is quite a risk for me, but seeing how graceful and refined both of you are, I'd even be willing to die for it!"
Wang Youhong glanced at Lu Shanjun and couldn't help but scratch his head. Although he had worldly experience, how could his brothel experience compare to Old Niu's and Lu Shanjun's? He hadn't expected this would work.
Meanwhile, Lu Shanjun looked up at the woman and displayed a satisfied smile.
"Very good. However, it's a bit disappointing that you only perform arts and don't sell yourself. My brother here is still a virgin; a beautiful girl like you would be perfect to help him break that!"
"Gasp..."
Wang Youhong clenched his fists and took a deep breath; goosebumps covered his entire body.
"Ah, hehehe... You're really good at joking, sir. For you two gentlemen, I'm willing to do anything. But what about you, sir? What do you want to do to me?"
As the woman spoke, she walked over and sat on Lu Shanjun's lap. He surprisingly didn't refuse, only watching her with a charming smile.
"Me? I want to eat you!"
"Oh, sir, you're so naughty..."
The woman was about to playfully resist with feigned shyness when suddenly, as if seeing an extremely terrifying sight, her scream stopped abruptly the moment it began.
Wang Youhong's clenched fists relaxed with a slight tremor, while Lu Shanjun had already picked up the silk handkerchief from the table and gently wiped his mouth.
"A great demon, to actually deliver itself right to my mouth. So time-saving, effortless, and mutually enjoyable—isn't that good?"
Lu Shanjun looked at Wang Youhong, who only gave an awkward smile, not daring to say another word.
This was not the first time Lu Shanjun and Niu Batian had done such a thing. As long as they consumed a valuable demon, they could often obtain a string of information from its *chang* ghosts, and thus continuously follow the clues. Accumulating small amounts to form a large one, many secrets were also uncovered this way.
