Whose heretical cultivator relies on a rich woman to attain enlightenment?

"We usually only see Young Master Lu come to our Red Sleeve Pavilion to listen to music, this is the first time we've seen you come to work."

"What, have you come to a realization? Don't want to work hard anymore?"

The girls' playful laughter made Lu Cheng's old face fall.

Since Ji Xiaoxiao took office, the laws in Jingnan have been quite strict, and the city planning has been quite thorough. Each area has a clear division of labor, and all brothels are located within the Sweetwater Street area.

Hongxiuzhao was naturally among them, located just across the alley from the neighboring Zuichunlou.

A group of girls of all shapes and sizes gathered together, and would come over to tease Lu Cheng whenever they had the chance. They laughed even more heartily when they saw the boy's embarrassed expression.

"Young Master Lu, please name your price."

"Practice makes perfect. The more you do it, the less awkward you'll feel. Hmm... I'll offer five taels!"

"Ten taels."

Several girls started to commotion, plopping down on the table with their bodies turned to the side, their long legs crossed, not caring about exposing themselves, and showing off their undergarments right in front of the boy.

The girls slowly opened the hidden compartments; some took out silver, others took out banknotes. They exuded a unique feminine fragrance and lingering warmth, and were thus laid out before him, fresh and vibrant.

His lips twitched.

"Choice is more important than effort."

He now has a completely new understanding of this statement.

As long as you're willing to swallow your pride, money comes really fast. Imagine if you hadn't refused He Laoliu's blind date, but instead had gone to the Misty Palace to meet that seventy-year-old fairy, wouldn't you be able to live a life of ease from then on?

Can elixirs be eaten like candy? Once I rise to power and rule the world, wouldn't it be perfect to inherit the rich woman's fortune and her sect...?

My mind has already started imagining the future.

The key point is that the girls sitting next to Lu Cheng were not just putting on airs. They kept raising their prices, arguing heatedly until their faces turned red. It looked like their prices were about to be on par with the top courtesan at their Red Sleeve Inn.

"A bunch of money-losing machines, and the flood has already started before we've even touched anyone? What a waste of money we've been supporting you all."

Ruyu, dressed in a black and gold long dress, came down from the second floor.

Here comes the rich woman.

He walked and cursed, saying that other girls were racking their brains to empty their pockets, while his own girls, who were a waste of money, wished they could give up all the money they had earned from selling themselves to spend the night with other young masters.

It's really unbelievable that they would make money for you.

"Young Master Lu, it's been quite a while since we last met, hasn't it?"

She winked at him.

Compared to the group of young women, Ruyu's temperament and style were undoubtedly much more mature and composed. With a hint of playfulness in her eyes, she carefully looked Lu Cheng up and down, her smiling appearance like that of a hunter who had found his prey. It seemed as if she was about to devour Lu Cheng alive.

That's right, the rich woman we're serving today is her.

In fact, Lu Cheng initially refused when he first learned of this news.

It wasn't about actually making him sell himself, but rather having him work at the Red Sleeve Inn, serving this rich woman tea and water, massaging her shoulders and legs. It wasn't about selling his body, but he was expected to provide some emotional value.

Let's talk business.

Trivia.

When Lu Cheng came to Hongxiuzhao to listen to music before, Ruyu mentioned wanting to be his sugar daddy, but the hot-blooded young man sternly refused!

Money wasn't that important to him. His industry was already quite lucrative, and even after deducting daily expenses and the money he spent on medicine for Han Guang, he could still save some money.

but……

"Sister Ruyu is still so young and beautiful. She hasn't been here lately because of a little thing, not because I don't miss her."

"You have such a sweet tongue."

She didn't refute it. She did know that chaos had broken out in the city recently, and all the corpse-carrying men in the city had died. Only Lu Cheng was lucky enough to survive.

She reached out and touched Lu Cheng's face twice. Lu Cheng's skin was more delicate than before after the body tempering. However, as soon as she touched it, she felt as if there were a pair of eyes staring straight at her from the shadows.

They had no choice but to retreat.

"Tsk, we can't even get a sip of soup."

She grumbled inwardly, but still beckoned to Lu Cheng with her finger.

"Come with me, if I serve you well... hmm~"

Life was tough, so Lu sold himself into prostitution.

Sitting in the boudoir decorated in pink and green, this place is clearly Ruyu's residence.

He was very reserved. It was actually Han Guang who helped him make the connection at Hongxiuzhao. If it were just about money, he could pretend to regard money as dirt. But what he couldn't refuse was that the rich woman in front of him had elixirs.

Elixir!

"Young Master Lu."

"arrive!"

Straightening her back, she realized that he was currently stuck in the stage of spiritual root depletion and urgently needed the assistance of several powerful demons or external forces. Looking at the boy's expectant expression, she suddenly had the urge to tease the little guy.

She rummaged around in her bosom for a while, and the snow-white color made the young man unable to look away. Soon, she placed a jade porcelain bottle on the table, and even from half a meter away, one could smell its unique medicinal fragrance.

It's hard to imagine that such a charming woman who also runs a brothel is actually the reclusive master that Hanguang mentioned!

That's right, it was Hanguang who tricked him into coming.

According to the testimony of a fallen fairy, major sects often have spies planted in the mortal world. In addition to making money for the sect, they also need to collect information from all over the world. Moreover, disciples who are away from home will always need help at some point.

That's why places like Hongxiuzhao exist.

Various factions have a wide range of informants, including those engaged in legitimate businesses. However, when it comes to making money and gathering intelligence, brothels are undoubtedly number one.

After all, some news can just come from whispering in someone's ear.

According to Han Guang, Hongxiuzhao was undoubtedly such a secluded place, which is why he decided to try his luck there.

"Young master, I learned that you had joined the Demon Suppression Division, so I asked Han Guang to pass on a message to you. I'd like to do some business with you."

The chick nods like it's pecking at rice.

How does she usually talk about me in front of you?

His expression showed some curiosity, after all, as a subordinate, he still cared about his position in his leader's eyes.

"Oh, foolish and rich... kind-hearted, wealthy and generous."

I almost blurted it out.

However, Ruyu was not angry. Given Hanguang's status and strength, it was estimated that no one in Jingnan, except for Ji Xiaoxiao, could be on equal footing with her. Logically speaking, she should not tease this little guy.

But the truth isn't in her hands right now.

So I opened the bottle cap.

"One per shot, only tonight. No deception, young or old. Let's see your skills, young master. What do you say?"

"hiss……"

Someone couldn't help but waver.

Her mouth trembled a few times, and two little figures were fighting to the death in her brain. Seeing the boy's expression, Ruyu laughed so hard she couldn't close her legs. But she dared not continue to tease him. If this boy really agreed, Hanguang would definitely skin her alive.

Literally, to skin someone alive.

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."

"Since I took the initiative to invite you, let's be frank. I've heard that you've already joined the Demon Suppression Division, and your future looks very promising."

"We, the Red Sleeves Clan, come from a prestigious family in the Central Plains. We are a prominent clan and live a carefree life in Jingnan City."

"How about you act as my informant?"

"Don't worry, you don't need to reveal any confidential information. If you have the ability, you just need to do us a favor. After all, there are quite a few people watching us."

She rested her chin on her hand, deliberately placing her heavy, snow-white breasts on the table. This scene made Lu Cheng slam his fist on the table in anger!

"The Demon Suppression Bureau has shown me immense kindness, and Lord Huang is my closest friend and confidant, like a brother!"

"You'll have to pay more."
