Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the Romance and Rendezvous Club,
Lu Yu learned from the pockmarked woman’s memory, that this place was ostensibly a place of love and sex that opened near Capital City University, and the owner was a mysterious Great Grand Master powerful expert. However, in reality, it was an intelligence base set up in this place by the Ying family.
Due to the high quality service, the place was frequented by the rich and influential people of the capital. Talented people from various industries came here to relax from time to time.
Therefore, the place was able to obtain a lot of first-hand information, which was secretly transmitted back to the Ying family every day.
“Oh, Young Master Cheng, please come inside. Feng has been waiting inside for a long time, just waiting for your close embrace. Did you know, during this period of your absence, Feng was depressed for a long time?”
“Master Zhang, what a rare guest. What service would you like today?”
The middle-aged attractive woman in charge of hospitality gazed upon the rich and the noble entering one by one. She was beaming radiantly, with a downright flattering demeanor.
However, upon seeing the plainly dressed Lu Yu enter the premises, this middle-aged attractive woman immediately stopped him and chided, “Stop right there. Mister, may I know…”
“There’s a million in the card. Take it as I’m giving you a tip.” Lu Yu tossed out a bank card.
The middle-aged attractive woman looked at the bank card in her hand, and then looked at Lu Yu. She suddenly changed her expression and became very welcoming. She beckoned with a smile, “Mr. Handsome, please come inside.”
Unbeknownst to her, the bank card Lu Yu gave her was actually a scrapped access card. In Lu Yu’s Illusionary Realm Kingdom, he could even conjure up a mountain of gold if he wanted.
Lu Yu entered the Romance and Rendezvous club and sat in an inconspicuous spot to survey the situation.
According to the memory of the pockmarked woman, the boss of this sleazy nightspot was a direct descendant of the Ying family. He possessed the strength of a Grade 7 Great Grand Master. It was very difficult to meet him unless one was his superior who had direct contact with him.
The superior of this boss was none other than one of the elders of the Ying family by the name of Ying Wei!
In addition, there were also these three direct descendants of the Ying family. One of them was called Ying Mei’er, who was the leading courtesan here. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also well-versed in all kinds of arts like zither, chess, literature and painting.
The rest were girls whom the boss of this sleazy nightspot bought from all over Flame Country. In this apocalyptic era of Spiritual Energy Renaissance, the previous social order and ethics had been overturned, and it was very difficult for women to feed themselves in this era.
“On, it’s Young Master Wang, and Young Master Mu. What rare guests. Choose whichever one you like and just tell me the name.”
The middle-aged attractive woman saw two young people walking in and her eyes lit up. Lu Yu saw this and gave a scornful smirk. He was aware of this middle-aged attractive woman’s identity. She was also a direct descendant of the Ying family, and a Grade 3 Great Grand Master powerful expert.
Young Master Wang and Young Master Mu entered and said, grinning widely, “Well then, we want your top courtesan to accompany us for a night of pleasure.”
Obviously, these two people were here for Ying Mei’er, and moreover, they were quite lascivious.
The middle-aged attractive woman’s face changed slightly, and she said with a pained look, “Dear Sirs, I’m sure you are aware. Our top courtesan here is valued very highly by our boss. She only sells her art, not her body. If you want to spend the night with her, then you have to get the boss’ approval.”
“Hoho! Your boss seems to have overvalued Miss Mei’er a little too much.” Young Master Mu’s face turned sour.
The underlying meaning was that Ying Mei’er was having an affair with the boss of this sleazy nightspot. She was just pretending to be chaste and saintly
but underneath the veneer, who knew what kind ot relationship they had.
In the communication amongst the three, Lu Yu also learned the identity of Young Master Wang and Young Master Mu. His expression turned somewhat odd.
This guy, Young Master Mu, was Mu Qilin, and was the young master of the Mu family. Not long ago, Lu Yu clashed with the people of the Mu family, and therefore, he paid a little more attention to this person.
And this guy, Young Master Wang, was the young master Wang Tianci of the Wang family in the capital. He was serving in a certain military zone in the northern part of Flame Country. Although the Wang family was not as influential as the four great families, it was still a powerful family. There was something else about Wang Tianci’s identity that made Lu Yu very surprised. He was also one of the candidates to be conferred a title of nobility in the capital.
He was the young master of a powerful family and in military service. Putting two and two together, it was inevitable that Lu Yu’s thoughts went into overdrive.
It was most likely he was sent by the Wang family to the military zone to be gilded up, and then using the connections to important people made there, they managed to obtain a title of nobility.
True enough, the other rich and influential people here were gossiping softly about Wang Tianci, confirming Lu Yu’s suspicions. Although the voices were very soft, in the Illusionary Realm Kingdom, it was still fairly easy for Lu Yu to know what they were saying.
“This Ying Mei’er seems to be very popular,” Lu Yu commented in a low voice after observing for a moment.
Most of the rich and influential people who came here were here for Ying Mei’er. They were even willing to throw out reckless amounts of money just to get intimate with her.
“Look, Miss Mei’er is coming out.”
“She really lives up to her reputation as the top courtesan here. Stunning looks and an outstanding temperament. Nothing like those wearing thick rouge and vulgar powder.”
A woman dressed in red wearing light makeup, with her forehead decorated with a three-petal floral imprint, glided in leisurely. Many people became mesmerized. Even Lu Yu had to admit that this girl Ying Mei’er was really beautiful.
“Hmph! You guys think you are worthy ? Did you really think that Miss Mei’er would favor you?” A youth in green with an energetic personality flapped his folding fan. “Extra money for this one!”
“I have plenty of money!”
“Competing with me on money? What a coincidence. My father is Zheng Dayou, and what I, Zheng Xiaochuan, lacked the least is money.”
Zheng Xiaochuan said this in a very cocky manner, causing a group of rich and influential people to be exceptionally dissatisfied. “Hmph! You just have a rich old man. What do you have to be proud of?”
“Hey, I’m sorry, but having loads of money can allow one to bully others. You are not convinced? Believe it or not, I can smash you to death with money!” Zheng Xiaochuan waved his hand and shouted loudly, “Sister Meier, look at me! Here! Here!”
The crowd on site became even more jealous inwardly.
Zheng Xiaochuan’s father was the president of Zheng’s bank. Before the apocalypse, Zheng’s bank was already a multinational financial behemoth. After the apocalypse, the Zheng family had seized the opportunity to become a family of cultivators.
The old order collapsed, yet this family from the old era not only did not collapse, but it also grew increasingly stronger until it became the number one monopolistic financial czar in Flame Country and indirectly, in the federal government’s office.
In other words, Zheng’s bank was spread throughout the federal government. Although the Zheng family’s influence was not as strong as the four great families of Flame Country, it was far above them in terms of financial strength. “Hmph! It’s just a second generation heir, riding on the fame of his family to cause trouble.” Wang Tianci rebutted him with great displeasure.
The people around them echoed similar sentiments after seeing this situation. All kinds of flattery poured forth, praising Wang Tianci for being so impressive and being such an exceptional young man. They then used him as a comparison with Zheng Xiaochuan, denigrating the latter thoroughly.
Zheng Xiaochuan gave a scornful laugh and retaliated without mercy. “Hah?
Exceptional young man? I can’t tell at all. All I can see is that the fame does not match the reality. Beneath that gilded exterior is rotten and shoddy substance..
Tsk, tsk…
