Chapter 422
After waiting here for a while, a tired young woman walked in and was startled when she saw Zhong Ming.
At this moment, Zhong Ming was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing gray-white armor, an outfit that was quite out of place in a brothel.
"This...sir?"
"It's alright, do as you please."
She cursed inwardly, 'The host said you could do whatever you wanted, what are you, a guest, saying? You're crazy.' Then she sat down gracefully, put on a smile, and tried to chat with Zhong Ming for a bit.
"What brings you here, guest?"
"I am looking for my men."
"Oh, people from the military, guests. To put it bluntly, if you don't pay a hefty price, even if they find the person you want, they'll have to wait until after they're done and get paid before handing them over to you. That takes a long time. Since you're just killing time anyway, why don't you join in and have some fun?"
These girls are all cunning and scheming, but Zhong Ming is different; he only has eighteen holes in his body, which have just healed.
'I'm starting to regret sending him.' Zhong Ming shook his head, then suddenly remembered something and said to her, 'Have you recently received a new batch of girls?'
Upon hearing this, the girl exclaimed, "Oh my, this looks promising!"
"You jest, sir. This is a big place like Feiyunfang. There's always a new girl around. What, do you prefer young girls?"
"No, after the city was under lockdown, did any charming woman surnamed Yao come here?"
She thought for a moment, or rather, tilted her head as if to think, and then replied, "Perhaps, but I'll have to check the list of girls. Would the guest like to come with me?"
Once inside the store, Zhong Ming had no choice but to leave himself to his own devices.
These past few days had made Zhong Ming much more cautious. He shook his head and refused, then sat down and waited.
When the girl realized she couldn't persuade him, she began to subtly inquire about his martial arts style, personal preferences, and even his wealth.
Later, Zhong Ming simply stopped talking and slumped in his wheelchair, looking as if he were asleep.
The girl wanted nothing more than to call him a "dog eunuch!"
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the girl from before returned.
"Sir, I'm sorry, we don't have the person you're looking for here. He might have given us a Taoist name. Do you know his usual alias?"
"If it's not here, then it's not here. I'll go look somewhere else."
The two girls exchanged a glance. One grabbed the wheelchair, while the other sat directly on Zhong Ming's lap. "Sir, don't worry. We can provide services to find people, including searching for them in other brothels."
Zhong Ming: ? ? ?
"Is this a brothel or a government office? Can you even look for someone here?"
The girl sitting on his lap leaned directly against his chest, pressing herself against his cold, scaled armor without any hesitation.
"We've been in the Feiyun Pavilion for so long, what haven't we encountered? People coming to arrest others, the military coming to arrest fugitives, family members sneaking in and being discovered—these kinds of things happen all the time. Over time, we, as a few large brothels, have become less troublesome. As long as you pay some money, we'll help you find them."
Zhong Ming doesn't believe this nonsense at all. You guys help me find it? Who would dare come here then?
She held the spirit stone Zhong Ming had given her in her hand, playing with it; her meaning was quite clear.
It mainly depends on the price you offer.
If the price is right, I'll take you in to catch them in the act; if the price isn't right, then we'll see how much they're willing to pay and keep it a secret.
Besides, doesn't it take time to find someone? Isn't this what I use to kill time?
Zhong Ming really couldn't think of any way. Whether or not they could find the person seemed to depend entirely on the brothel's decision; he had no right to go in and search.
"Some activities, well, cultivators have strong physiques, so it might take a month or two. If he chooses some exciting activity, then there will be a long wait."
It’s dark, really dark.
Beneath the mask, Zhong Ming's face darkened.
"Okay, let's have another girl talk to you."
Upon hearing this, one girl stood up happily, while another girl began to act coquettishly.
The girls who greet guests receive a share of the profits, but the girls who actually serve the guests do not.
"Guest, is it not possible for me? I am skilled in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If you wish, I can... I can..."
Zhong Ming shoved her away and said, "You guys are so slow at calling someone, and you're even dawdling over calling a girl? Bring me the list, I need the new ones from the last six months."
Soon, the welcoming girl brought the list over like the wind, followed by an older female cultivator who still retained her charm. Although she looked to be middle-aged, in the world of cultivators, she was probably nearing the end of her lifespan.
Like those who have mastered the art of preserving youth during the foundational stage, they have a lifespan of about two hundred years and can maintain a youthful and beautiful appearance until they reach one hundred and eighty years old, only showing signs of aging in the last ten years or so.
The cultivators in the army don't care about these things, so they can do whatever they want. But if the girls here look old, then they really are quite old.
"Come, Chunhua, serve this to the guest."
Zhong Ming thought he would have to look for clues in the names, but to his surprise, the wealthy Feiyunfang directly made a photo stone for each girl, capturing a moment of each girl's talent performance.
Before long, he found his target.
"Summon her."
"Sir, you have excellent taste. This girl... uh, sir, this girl only sells her art, not her body. If you really wish, you can find this one..."
"No, it's her."
"Well, sir, let's make this clear first. If you really want to do something, you'll have to discuss it with the girl yourself. Please don't force it. Our security here is quite good." She almost wanted to say that you could try being a bodyguard here after you retire, but she held back the words.
"Got it. Call her over. Also, those people I asked you to find earlier, hurry up."
Zhong Ming first tossed out a few mid-grade spirit stones, then said, "I'll discuss the rest with your young lady later."
Although the old woman thought it was a bit too little, she figured they hadn't even seen each other's birth charts yet, and they hadn't decided which room they'd be in. The subsequent charges could vary greatly, so she agreed.
"Please wait a moment, sir. The young lady will be here shortly. Please come to the door..."
"No, let's talk here. We can move on after we've finished talking... Are you in a hurry? If you are, hurry up and find someone for me."
Zhong Ming didn't believe her. He wanted to try and see if Miss Yao could help him look for it.
Several girls immediately got up, sealed off the small room, and stood guard at the door to prevent other girls from disturbing them.
On the other side, some nice things were immediately prepared. This guest was difficult to deal with, and he was heavily guarded. Aromatherapy and seduction techniques would mostly be useless, so they could only use some visual allure.
The key issue is that this new woman doesn't know how to do it yet.
We have no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless.
