Chapter 15: Accidentally Entering a Brothel

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, her lips curled in disdain. "If you were to be polite, I would actually feel embarrassed..."

As her voice fell, the Profound Whip rose in response. Carrying a sharp, piercing wind, the whip lashed toward Qian Jingsi. Qian Jingsi retreated repeatedly; unlike Qian Jingyue, Yu Mei possessed the Profound Whip yet held no disadvantage. Relying on her own strength and the advantage of the whip's long-range attacks, Qian Jingsi simply could not touch her, causing him to feel a surge of irritation in his heart.

Clenching his fists, Qian Jingsi prepared to strike, but unexpectedly, Yu Mei retracted the Profound Whip and stepped back, smiling. "We'll stop here for today. Since you have lost, then as punishment, this Profound Whip belongs to me. Heh, man, your skills are decent, but unfortunately, this lady doesn't have time to play with you. I'll be taking my leave first. Farewell!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, her figure vanished into the crowd, disappearing instantly.

Qian Jingsi's face turned ashen, looking as though he had swallowed a belly full of rage. He was a man capable of endurance, but Qian Jingyue was not. Seeing Yu Mei so arrogantly snatch away her Profound Whip, her face flushed red with anger, and she shouted loudly, "All of you, pursue her! If you catch her, this Princess will reward you handsomely!"

With the Profound Whip wrapped around her waist, Yu Mei glanced back at the pursuers behind her with a trace of a smile on her lips, then ducked into a backyard at a corner.

"Oh my, hehe, Young Master, don't..."

"Xiao Hong, let this Young Master have a kiss, quick, let me have a kiss!"

As soon as she entered, the pleasant sounds of a zither and the playful banter of men and women drifted out. Yu Mei's brow furrowed deeply. Had she entered a brothel? Looking around, indeed, the backyard was filled with scenes of men and women frolicking everywhere. Letting out a soft sigh, she turned to walk out; it was better than being ignored. She smoothly passed through the backyard and arrived at the main hall.

It was truly a red-light district, filled with singing and dancing everywhere. The women were dressed vibrantly, each wearing a cloyingly sweet smile. They catered to every man, selling smiles and selling themselves; it all happened here. Yu Mei remained expressionless; she neither felt great disgust nor great fondness for these people.

Just as she was thinking of leaving this place, her gaze involuntarily drifted toward another direction...

"Beauty, oh my, truly a top-tier specimen..."

"Beauty, come with me, I'll make you feel very good, haha..."

It was an extremely pure and exquisite face, one that seemed to have stolen the colorful radiance of all things under heaven. Dressed in flowing white robes, he landed as if untouched by a single trace of worldly aura. His eyebrows were sharp and elegant, his nose high and straight, and his thin lips were as red as dripping blood. Those narrow phoenix eyes were brimming with deep emotion; every glance and turn was filled with a captivating charm.

Having lived two lifetimes, Yu Mei considered herself to have seen many men worthy of being called beautiful, but the man before her was as clean as a pool of bright moonlight. Not a single shred of darkness could be seen from him. This was a man who could not be profaned, a man resembling a banished immortal—this was Yu Mei's only evaluation of him.

Standing to his left and right were two men of ordinary appearance but extremely lewd demeanors. The way they looked at the man was like looking at a piece of fatty meat—greedy and loathsome!

"You two, please show some respect!" The man's voice was cool, neither angry nor joyful, yet it carried a hint of firmness.

"Respect? Haha... Once you enter this Meihong Pavilion, you are no longer a clean person. Although you are a man, seeing as you are so handsome, this Young Master might consider taking you as a male concubine, allowing you to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and honor. How about it?" The man on the right laughed loudly, his lustful gaze sweeping back and forth over the man's body.

Yu Mei thought the man would grow angry or fly into a rage, but to her surprise, he simply lowered his eyes. The look of despair in his eyes pierced deep into Yu Mei's heart. Instantly, she strode forward...

"You, let him go!"
