Emperor's Cunning Wife

Just as she said those words, the faces of those who wanted to do some indecent things to them became pale.

The ladies were very thankful to Mother Shen's interference. They never thought that the men would actually attempt to do unclean things at broad daylight.

"Why is Mother Shen spouting such nonsense? The masters you're proud of are actually having a rendezvous with my courtesans." The lady boss of Exquisite Drunken Brothel curled her lips with visible smugness. Fragrant Orchid Brothel is the most successful in the town, most of their customers were snatched after it was built a year ago and with Mother Shen's management it had become the center of attention at night. Their bustling place at night was such a mockery to her. Therefore, she had someone spy on them and look for opportunities to thwart their plans, the case of their brothel covering up the assassin should have been their downfall but somehow it didn't end well enough to strike them down.

The rumours she forcefully spread should have been affected their customer from associating with the Fragrant Orchid but somehow just after morning first light, the thing she looked forward to never came. This was unacceptable, so the lady boss sent someone to spy instead and luckily after a few days a heaven sent opportunity came, one that boosted their reputation in one day or should she say in 'one play'?

"Mother Shen looks like you need to think for long term, if you don't start accepting these customers, the in those flowers will withered, their youths will fade in solitary." The lady boss added purposefully planting some courage on the men.

"Whether or not they…" Mother Shen could not continue what she's saying as the circle went smaller and smaller further squeezing them in the center. No matter how she restrained this bunch of sc.u.mbags, her strength was inferior to the pack of hungry wolves. The beautiful ladies became meat in the chopping board.

The l.u.s.t that had died down rekindled after the lady boss' claims.

"Miss even though I don't have wealth. My love can drown you in the sea of ecstasy." A man whose clothes were made of hemp stared at one of the ladies in a pale dress.

"That's a good one!" His buddy patted his back never expecting he would come up with a poetic verse.

"Hahahahaha!" This earned a round of crude laughter from the crowd.

The Lady Boss after witnessing Mother Shen's miserable situation laughed at her misfortune. She waved her hand at her servant and was about to enter the brothel again when she saw the men sitting in the table had approached the entrance and was curiously looking over commotion.

The men's boisterous laughter was beginning to attract even the tables inside. Looking at the group of beautiful fairies with peerless faces and alluring figures in the center, the men not wanting to be left out also joined the circle and began professing their admiration mixed with some indecent lines.

The first floor was usually book by lesser rich so it was expected of them to be influenced by these uncultured men. Coming from the fact that Mother Shen's ladies were the crème of the crop, the ladies under the lady boss' paled so much in comparison.

"Mother Shen!" One of the ladies exclaimed after someone pulled her collar exposing her shoulder blades.

"What are you doing! Back off or taste my fist!" Feng Hong heard her shout and immediately left Ning Lou's side and used his body to be a barricade and began flailing his arms around. The lady was in gratitude and tightly gripped her collar to cover her skin.

Ning Lou watched Feng Hong's heroic actions and rubbed her chin.

"Lass, you're figure is not bad. If you come with us, I'll make sure to you enjoy every moment…Hahaha!" A man whose face was scarred on the left eyebrow looked at her with l.u.s.t. He was better dressed than the majority although some of his tendrils were not combed neatly. His nape was dark from being under the sun for too long. His cotton fabric robe was roughly worn with some creases all over. Both of the hands were calloused with some distinct marks on the palm. His tone when talking contained some unfamiliar accent Ning Lou hadn't heard about and his scent was particular bugging her.

"Oh, If you didn't say it lea…I mean young Master I would have been unable to detect this lass's impressive figure…" The man beside him also looked over Ning Lou with excitement.

Ning Lou's eyes narrowed at them.

"Oh, did the lass have taken a liking at me?" The man in front grinned exposing some yellow tartar in his teeth and an alcoholic breath.

With Ning Lou's silence the leader extended his hand reaching for her belt.

A shadow jumped off from the window landing in a timely manner.

Crack-

The sound of cracking bones was heard causing the listeners to suck a mouthful of cold air.

"Ahh!" The leader held his broken hand and his face was filled with anger.

"Eh?" Ning Lou's hand was on the air. She hadn't even done anything yet when the man had screamed with pain. She looked up in attempt to find out what had happened for the man to withdraw, but her sight was impeded by a figure a head taller than her. His back was ramrod straight. Dressed in a fabric of high quality, with a jade crown on his head, his one arm was holding a drunken man.

"Who dared to break this grandpa's hand!" The man exclaimed. His nostrils flared in anger. The men behind him also went alert and grabbed their weapons bundles by a fabric on their backs and revealed their sharp swords at the crowd.

The noises died down at the group's sudden murderous intentions and were replaced by panic and call for help.

It was utter chaos.

"Call the guards!" Someone had shouted amidst and this had caused the men to run off not wanting to be involved in a fight.

Mother Shen quickly checked on the ladies and had them go in a safe corner temporarily. Her intentions of confronting the Lady Boss of the Exquisite Drunken Brothel had flown out of her head.

"Was it you?!" The leader hadn't seen the culprit clearly because the actions were too fast. However this strange man dressed in expensive fabric had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

His men heard his word and all pointed their weapons at that one man.

The man whose face was filled with indifference, not even flinching at the sight of multiple sharp weapons directed at him moved for a moment to grab the collar of Gao Ling whose state was unconscious from consuming too much wine.

He spun and spoke to the female who's closed at being harassed. "Hold him." He stuffed his friend on the female arms and went back to the group.

Such mellow and magnetic voice should cause a female to squirm with helplessness and admiration.

But Ning Lou had only felt the coldness seeping deep in her bones.

Badump-

Her heart beat fast.

The surrounding noises turned still. Her mind was focused on the figure in front.

For some reason, his voice just sounded like that man's.

Badump-

The FBI highly acclaimed criminal profiler Jaded Face Asura…
