Chapter 218 Free and Easy, Not Going Home
Han Zhou turned around and looked at the three women's faces again and again, probably trying to recognize them.
"I wanted to go out for a bit." But somehow I ended up here...
Knowing this was how it would be, Yu Lu helplessly pointed in the opposite direction and said, "Then go straight ahead, then turn right. You'll see a small door. Go out the door and you'll find an alley leading to the East Market Night Street."
He shouldn't have any problem getting back on his own. With such a big sign for Paradise Palace, he could easily see it by flying to any rooftop.
Of course, it's fine if he doesn't come back... He's just too honest and doesn't want to leave.
"Thank you very much, Miss Yunlu," Hanzhou said politely.
"..."
"Young Master Hanzhou, please take care." Yu Lu thought for a moment, then decided not to correct him anymore. Anyway, he wouldn't remember, and he wouldn't be staying here for long.
Yulu pointed out the way to Hanzhou, then turned around and went to the hall with the two sisters.
Unbeknownst to them, Han Zhou stood motionless, watching the three figures disappear into the distance, lost in thought…
Meanwhile, the Lin sisters gave Yulu five coins as a reward for her hard work, and then carried two three-tiered food boxes back to Qiushuang Pavilion.
Ning Linlan was bored staying alone in the room, so she had already arranged the dishes on the table separately into hot dishes, cold dishes, and vegetarian dishes, and was just waiting to pack them into boxes.
As soon as the two entered the house, she took the food box and began to unpack: "You're finally back! Why did you take so long?"
If she hadn't already paid, she would have thought the two sisters had run away...
Lin Lanshan said mysteriously, "We met someone in the backyard, someone you've seen before. Can you guess who it is?"
She casually remarked, "Who could it be? It can't be Lin Zhengyong, can it?"
"..." Lin Lanshan seemed to choke on a mouthful of food and couldn't speak.
Lin Chunyi was laughing loudly beside her.
Ning Linlan put down her chopsticks, a hint of anxiety on her face. "Could it really be him?"
If it really is Lin Zhengyong who dares to come to a brothel, she'll hang him up and beat him right now!
Lin Lanshan rolled her eyes at her: "Zhengyong's brain isn't big enough to support him visiting brothels. You're overthinking it."
Lin Zhengyong, who was being tricked at Yang Yu's house and was working hard to prepare dishes, said: "This sounds less appealing than visiting a brothel..."
"If it's not him, then who is it? You didn't happen to see some lovers having a tryst, did you?" Ning Linlan winked and smiled lewdly.
Lin Chunyi directly revealed the answer: "No! It's that Young Master Hanzhou." It's better not to let Ning Linlan continue guessing; if she keeps guessing, she might guess her own father next.
Lin Lanshan continued, "That Young Master Hanzhou is indeed highly skilled in martial arts, but there seems to be something wrong with him." It's as if he traded his brains for martial arts skills.
“Didn’t you watch the martial arts competition downstairs? He didn’t lose a single match after five rounds, so he must be really good. I’m curious, did you see what he looked like without his mask?” Ning Linlan picked up her chopsticks and continued to put food into the food box.
Lin Lanshan shrugged and said, "No, I'm covered up completely."
"Alright~ Everything's packed up, let's go." Ning Linlan handed one of the two food containers to them, "How am I supposed to return this food container to you?"
Having two friends whose whereabouts are completely unknown, leaving you to count down the days and wait at home, can sometimes be quite frustrating.
Lin Chunyi took the heavy food box. "Hmm, let me think..."
“Hey, that’s easy~” Lin Lanshan finally winked at Ning Linlan and gave her a sly smile: “When Zheng Yong comes to you one day, just give it to him.”
Ning Linlan blushed deeply, and the imposing manner she had displayed while "catching someone in the act" was long gone.
After the three of them finished getting ready, Yulu saw them downstairs.
As the evening approached, the night at Jilefang began, and all sorts of guests started to flood into the hall.
Most of them were pulling and tugging at the girls and guys who had changed into brightly colored clothes, while saying sour things like "a day apart feels like three autumns."
The Paradise House is a place that doesn't distinguish between male and female guests, but only between guests who are easy to get along with and those who are difficult.
So once you're inside, no one will look at those people who most people think shouldn't be here with strange eyes.
Because here, if you have money, power, or strength, you can get excellent service.
Men are guests.
Women are guests too.
Lin Lanshan tried to hold back, but couldn't help turning her gaze to a couple who were passing by them.
The woman appeared to be in her early twenties and was dressed elegantly. Although she wasn't wearing a conservative matriarchal hairstyle, she certainly looked married…
She nestled close to a handsome, gentle man. From a distance, one could faintly hear her coquettishly telling him, "You promised to drink with me tonight."
The man said in a doting voice, "You should also take care of your health."
"Only you care about me."
"There's no way around it, who could bear to see someone as beautiful as you heartbroken and disappointed..." And so, like an extremely happy couple, the two of them, laughing and joking, embraced and went upstairs.
The two sisters could only say that it was indescribable, unimaginable, and impossible to evaluate.
After all, once you've come to a brothel, who cares about morality?
Ning Linlan even boldly thought to herself: It's so much better to be rich! If Lin Zhengyong dares to betray her in the future, she can just pack up and move into the Pleasure House, living that carefree and happy life with women on both sides!
"Are you leaving, my three esteemed guests?" Fangniang had just led a girl to see the guests upstairs when she saw the three of them standing dumbfounded in the corner of the lobby.
The three of them were in the hall, watching all sorts of strange pairings, learning a great deal. Fangniang came over and spoke to them, and they suddenly snapped out of their daze.
Ning Linlan said, "It's getting dark, we should go home. Thank you so much, Sister Fangniang, for your hospitality. We've had so many delicious foods that we've never eaten before."
The two sisters nodded in agreement, thinking about the snacks and dishes, they both wanted to give them a five-star review!
After all, she's still her parents' precious child. Fangniang smiled and said, "Then hurry home and be careful on the way. I'll have Yulu take you to the backyard. Go through the back gate; it's too noisy outside the main gate."
After thanking her, the three looked at each other and, before leaving, said in unison, "Sister Fangniang, we hope you will always be beautiful, stay young forever, have a thriving business, and have abundant wealth!"
"Thank you for your kind words, go back now." Fangniang squinted, watching their retreating figures with a smile. She didn't offer to keep them overnight, nor did she welcome them back again…
The three men, leading a mule cart out of the back gate of the Pleasure House, followed the dimly lit alleyway to the night market of the East Market.
It wasn't dark yet, and only a few shops had their lanterns lit up on the street. The night market hadn't officially opened yet, and there were only a handful of pedestrians around.
"Huh? You're not going home tonight???" Ning Linlan suddenly shouted in the street, "Ahhh! Why didn't you tell me sooner? I don't want to go home either, waaaaah!"
The world is so dazzling, and Ning Linlan longs to stay out and play forever...
