022 The Target Appeared
· ”Sixth lord please!” Linghu Shui Yue despite feeling numb in her scalp, she could only take a step, putting on an act as she shook the paper fan and stepped into Yu Qiong Lou together with Qi wang.
Though in front of Yu Qiong Lou’s doors stood a row of powdered girls, they did not mess around like those girls from other brothels. Seeing them, they only waved their handkerchief, bending their knees, mannerly saying: “Welcome the guests for honor Yu Qiong Lou with your esteemed presence!”
Linghu Shui Yue was a little worried she would be pushed and pulled but there wasn’t. Only, walking by, the gazes the girls cast on her face were all fiery as if containing electricity. Fluttering their eyes nonstop, as if they want to swallow her alive but at the same time maintaining some scruples. Perhaps, these girls recognized Qi wang. No one dared to utter a sound, even didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.
Just stepping inside, a burst of instrumental music accompanied by thunderous applause drifted into her ears. Someone shouted in excitement: “Miss Shui Xian! Miss Shui Xian!”
Along the way, ninth lord and sixth lord both mentioned this Miss Shui Xian. Just how beautiful as a fairy was this Miss Shui Xian?
Linghu Shui Yue suddenly looked up. A woman in red, fairy-like and illusionary, seemed to fall from the sky, slowly descending from the second floor.
The tip of her feet tapped a red cloth that was pulled horizontally, holding a rope in her hands like she was on a swing or like walking the tightrope. Numerous ribbons wrapped around her body. At a glance, that graceful figure was already soul-stealing.
Linghu Shui Yue didn’t get to see her appearance clearly before she heard people loudly shouting prices.
Starting from a thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand, people kept bidding.
“10,000!”
“…..”
“100,000!” Suddenly, a tyrant-like voice overshadowed everyone! Linghu Shui Yue just stood in the hall for a while, the price actually went from one thousand to ten thousand, directly to one hundred thousand! This was indeed a place to burn gold!
Instantly, the bidding voices quieted one by one. No one followed it with a higher price.
Linghu Shui Yue looked over to the one who made the bid. There was a voice in her head telling her, that was the target she was going to kill tonight—Dai Wu Qing!
Looking from afar, it turns out Dai Wu Qing was a guy with a pig’s head and rat eyes! About twenty years of age, wearing a vulgar outfit. The whole body was laced with gold. His age was young but his whole body was full of fat. He stood on the second floor in a fan-shaped area sticking out his body. There two goons on either side fanning him.
He shouted the high price of 100,00, squashing all the others into silence.
It is rumored that Yu Qiong Lou’s four huakui only accompanies to drink wine and demonstrate their talents. They didn’t sell their bodies and were still untouched. That is why every night there are people coming to burn money, just to listen to a song.
Originally, Linghu Shui Yue thought it wouldn’t be so difficult to kill someone. But from one glance, to kill a man in Yu Qiong Lou, wasn’t as easy as she imagined it to be.
Especially since she is using Linghu Huo Ri’s identity to make an appearance and is currently accompanied by sixth lord. How to kill?
The gears were quickly turning in her head. At this moment, sixth lord suddenly said: “110,000!”
Qi wang sixth lord’s voice wasn’t loud, but it attracted everyone’s attention.
He offered 100,000, who would dare bid against him? Dai Wu Qing’s gaze was savage as he looked towards the one who made the bid. Just one look wasn’t serious but the one he saw was actually Qi wang!? His voice that was about to offer another high price suddenly stopped, his head shrank back, swallowing his saliva.
It wasn’t that no one can afford a higher price than 110,000. Instead, in fear of Qi wang’s status, no one dared to bid again. So, the bidding stopped. Miss Shui Xian can only accompany sixth lord tonight.
