Starting from the border troops, I've worked my way up to become a Martial Emperor.

"Wanhuayuan" is the name of this brothel.

Lu Yuan's first impression was that it was very tall and luxurious.

As darkness fell, all the lanterns on the nine-story building were turned on.

The reflection was magnificent and resplendent.

On the second floor and above, the figure of a woman can be seen in every window.

Some were dancing, some were playing instruments.

In short, she was very talented and definitely different from other brothels.

"Brother Yuan, this is the best brothel in Yanzhou. Let me tell you, the women inside are absolutely gorgeous. Just one look at them and your body will melt. I've already spent all my money. I only dared to come today because my sister reimbursed me."

Zhou Hao grinned and pulled Lu Yuan inside before stepping through the gate.

A voluptuous woman in a peach-pink dress came forward. She was alluring, not stunningly beautiful, but the charm she exuded made people involuntarily overlook her appearance.

Even Lu Yuan was momentarily stunned, but then he frowned.

He remained secretly on guard.

In his view, this was something that should never happen to an ordinary woman; the person in front of him must have practiced some kind of bewitching art.

However, he didn't expose her. After all, it's impossible for someone who can open such a large brothel in Yanzhou to have no one behind them. He was just a mere captain, so it was best not to get involved in this trouble.

Moreover, this is a brothel; if it doesn't seduce people, are they going to kick people out?

Zhou Hao was clearly captivated, a smile playing on his lips.

"Oh my, it's Young Master Zhou! Please come in. You're in luck today. We have a few new girls waiting for your approval." A charming voice rang out.

Zhou Hao then realized what was happening and pointed at Lu Yuan, saying, "Hua Niang, I'm not the main character today, he is. If you take good care of my brother, the reward money won't be a problem."

The woman immediately moved closer to Lu Yuan.

Then, it felt as if a piece of soft jade had been placed in one's bosom.

Lu Yuan didn't refuse, but said, "Don't listen to his jokes, I just came to have a drink."

As he spoke, he looked around.

Although it had only just gotten dark, quite a few people had already arrived.

Zhou Hao is clearly a celebrity in Yanzhou City, and many customers of Wanhua Courtyard greet him.

"Would you like a private room, young master, or the main hall?" Hua Niang asked with a grin, pinching Lu Yuan's muscular arm.

"Let's go to a private room." As he spoke, his hands were also restlessly wandering around.

This provoked the flower maid to let out a coquettish sigh.

Then he led the two upstairs, stopping at a private room called Tingyuxuan on the second floor, where he arranged for Lu Yuan and the others to sit down.

Before long, all sorts of fruits, snacks, and delicacies were laid out.

Then, there were more than a dozen girls dressed in revealing clothes.

Each of them possesses a captivating figure and a beautiful face; most importantly, they exude a unique charm that is truly irresistible to most people.

"Gentlemen, these are the best girls we have here. Please choose whichever one you like and let her stay," the courtesan said softly.

"Hey, what do you mean by 'like which one'? I like them all, keep them all, and you'll get your money back." Zhou Hao had already raised his glass and started drinking at some point.

His cheeks were flushed, and he seemed slightly drunk.

After all, he had already drunk quite a bit at home.

"Yes, I'll do as you say," the flower girl said happily.

Then, more than a dozen women rushed in.

While drinking with Lu Yuan and Zhou Hao, the entire private room was filled with the sounds of women talking.

Lu Yuan was quite uninhibited.

Not only were they not at all reserved, but they were having a great time.

However, upon closer observation, it becomes apparent that Lu Yuan maintains a subtle distance from these women.

Just as he finished drinking the wine in his glass.

A figure nestled closer. The woman wore a purple short skirt, her fair skin glowing with a crystalline sheen. She spoke softly, her breath sweet as orchids, "Young master, we have guest rooms upstairs. If you wish, you can stay the night."

Lu Yuan glanced at the woman and noticed that after drinking, her allure was even stronger.

She almost lost control of herself, but quickly regained her composure and said, "I have things to do at home, maybe next time."

Then, looking at Zhou Hao, whose shirt was almost ripped off, she said, "It's getting late, we should go back."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhou Hao was initially confused. After shaking his head to clear his head, he said, "Brother Yuan, we just arrived."

Her voice was filled with reluctance.

"I have some things to take care of when I get back, we'll talk about it next time."

Then, she got up, pulled Zhou Hao along, and walked outside.

Although the other party was unwilling, they had no choice but to go along with it.

He knew his sister's personality; although she seemed carefree, she was actually quite arrogant and didn't take most people seriously.

The fact that she was willing to accompany Lu Yuan and even pay for it herself shows that Lu Yuan is definitely a capable person.

Therefore, they did not resist.

After paying the money downstairs, the two sat down and left immediately.

They had just left.

"Da da!"

Hua Niang entered Tingyu Pavilion and looked at the girls around her, saying, "What happened? Why did you leave so quickly?"

Her voice had lost its previous charm and instead carried a hint of coldness.

The young master of the Zhou family was someone they were required to get close to, according to their superiors.

"Who knows? Young Master Zhou had already agreed to stay the night, but Young Master Lu pulled him away without saying a word. It's the first time I've ever met someone like that."

Even my "Enchantress Technique" didn't work.

The girl in purple immediately replied.

The other girls nodded in agreement.

Hua Niang's gaze darkened, and she said, "Be careful when using the 'Charming Spirit Technique' next time. Not everyone is as naive as that Young Master Zhou. Young Master Lu beside him is clearly a troublesome person."

You could smell the blood on them from afar.

"Understood." All the girls nodded.

Clearly, they were not ordinary courtesans.

"Yes, we should keep a low profile for a while. We've received word from above that the Great Yong Dynasty is investigating our Succubus Sect. We must not reveal our identities, or we will surely be wiped out by the court."

After Hua Niang finished speaking, she went upstairs.

Upon reaching the third floor, the scene there was horrifying. From a row of rooms, sounds of pleasure could be heard one after another. The men inside were pale and emaciated, looking as if they had indulged in excessive sexual activity.

The women, on the other hand, were as beautiful as flowers, and their auras were refined.

At this moment, Lu Yuan and Zhou Hao were almost at the Zhou family's residence.

The latter complained, "Brother Yuan, you really don't know how to enjoy yourself. I spent so much money taking you out to play, and you're back so soon. It's such a pity."

"Don't go to that place too often in the future. If you want to find a girl, go somewhere else," Lu Yuan said calmly.

At this point, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

The rich scent of rouge carried a faint hint of blood.

This brothel is definitely not simple.

And just as he was thinking this in his heart.

The carriage had arrived outside the Zhou residence. As soon as Lu Yuan got out of the carriage, he saw that Zhou Hongling was already waiting outside the door.

His complexion looked rather unpleasant, and somewhat strange.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, she forced a smile and said, "You're back so soon? Let's go back and have dinner first."

As for Zhou Hao, she didn't even glance at him.
