I threw away the red ribbon, which was now tattered and dirty from the trampling, an obvious sign that my wish could never be realized. Then I strode into the crowd.

I had heard the Triplet Pleasure-boat, but I had never been there!

It was the most famous pick-up joint in Luocheng that offered services for both men and women. I heard that the girl who served the tea there could also be the most popular courtesan in ordinary brothels.

This was the benefit of living in Chen Kingdom, where people were open-minded and men and women were equals. If you were rich and powerful, you could have many partners. You could have basically everything if you were rich enough, no matter who you were, man or woman, human or animal…something like that.

Although I had five childes, I had no money. It was true. The rich were sitting in the best position to wait for the bid, and I, the poor, had to crowd at the riverside to be a looker-on.

I adjusted my askew coiffure. At this time, it was more convenient to dress up as a man. Although women and men were equal, women were more reserved, that was, they were mild on the outside but wild on the inside. They weren’t supposed to huddle together with men. Besides, today was the day that the most popular courtesan would be elected. Women didn’t like to join in the fun because they would have a sense of inferiority, and they were also afraid of being misunderstood that they had special sexual orientation.

After a short while, I heard noise in chorus coming from the three boats. Fireworks lit up half of the surface of the river. I covered my ears, looked up and giggled. I couldn’t manage other expressions except giggling.

By the firelight, I clearly saw Tao the Second Childe who was said to have returned to Baihong Heights on his business.

At this moment, Tao the Second wore a robe of light green brocade and held an ebony golden silk fan, his face fine-cut and his temperament impressive. The refreshing breeze by the river was blowing the hair in his ear. He was so provocative with his inspiring looks.

The girl opposite him was staring fixedly at him.

Tao the Second, how dare you smile at her!

I was so jealous. I felt sourer than eating green apricots. I couldn’t wait to step on his handsome face, and carve “personal belongings of Master Li” in his face!

Oh, no, I suffered from pains in my chest. I turned back with hands in my chest. The most popular courtesan, who cared?

But I regretted when I just rushed out of the crowd.

Tao the Second Childe, why could you go whoring while I was not allowed to have a glance? You had never taken me to the Triplet Pleasure-boat, now you even dare to be there but didn’t tell me!

Was money everything?

I made a decision!

I was going to go whoring!

I turned and ran to the main entrance of the Triplet Pleasure-boat.

The Triplet Pleasure-boat were three pleasure boats stopped at the port with the front door facing the street and the back door facing the river. At this time, the election of the most popular courtesan was holding on the river. Thus, people were gathering over there, fewer people were on this side.

Probably I was dressed neatly, and two gorgeous women pulled me in without any hesitation. Well, the clothes were more worthwhile than me.

Since I was determined to go whoring, naturally, I had to ask the most popular courtesan to serve me.

But now the most popular one might be contesting in the election.

Probably having heard my bragging, the procuress came out to see me in person. I was fondling the ancient jade dangling at my waist. She, as an expert, definitely noticed that my jade was expensive. So she immediately changed her tone, and screamed like me before when I was acting suffered from pains in my chest.

“Call the most beautiful girls here!” I thumped the table and shouted, “Don’t forget greasy chicken!”

The procuress was obviously shocked by my logic. She didn’t catch what the greasy chicken was at first. When she came back to herself, she couldn’t believe her ears, “Master, what do you want?”

I recalled Master Shifu’s words, and then waved my hand in frustration, “I don’t want greasy chicken, but I haven’t eaten meat for a long time. So please offer something great.”

The procuress winked at me, her eyes looking extremely unfathomable, “Well, I understand. Please wait a minute!”

So I held the chopsticks and waited for the food. The procuress was really thoughtful since she managed to serve two authentic greasy chicken. It would be wasteful if I didn’t finish them. Although I ate the greasy chickens, I still remembered words of Master Shifu…

There were beautiful girls on both sides politely urging me to drink. I didn’t mean to drink, and I was afraid of being found out by Yan the Fifth Childe. However, when I realized that I would definitely be found out after I was kicked out of the boat since I had no money to pay the bill, I might as well drink a glass of wine as I had ate the greasy chicken….

Anyway, Tao the Second had done wrong first, so at least I could make a remarkable comeback.

I felt relieved thinking of this. Hearing footsteps, I raised my head and looked out—-

I was so shocked at the time…

It was a fairyland on earth…

There were so many beautiful girls, some were charming, some pure and some both charming and pure!

Five beautiful girls, standing in front of me, smiled at me with their unique charm. Another five boys came before I had the time to praise the girls…

Five beautiful boys varied in age…

I stamped on the floor and scratched the wall!

It was acceptable to play with girls, but when my Chidle found out that I played with boys, they would eat me alive. I would be forbidden to eat meat for the next three months!

“You, you and you!” I pointed to them and signed to myself that they were all handsome boys but I could not enjoy! Please forgive me for not having the courage, “Girls can stay here, and boys go out!”

Just then, the procuress came in and gave me a weird look after hearing it. She then leaned over and whispered in my ear, “Master, I know you are a girl at the first glance since I’m experienced in this. Why do you ask girls to stay here rather than boys? Is it you…” She glanced at me again and said slyly, “If you have unique sexual preference, I have to call other girls here.”

I was almost choked on my own saliva. Girls around me all covered their mouths, chuckling.

Alas! I was still a very pure person.
