Chapter 14 : “The Great Healthcare”
Meanwhile in Warm Fragrant Building’s latrine
“Goodness gracious!” Ye Jinnings body almost collapsed as he squatted by the latrine pit. This time he inhaled a lot more of Clinging Turtle Powder than he did in Xuan Xiao Pavilion, as such after half an hour he almost dehydrated himself.
Outside the latrine two of Ye Jinnings followers were waiting for him.
“Senior Brother Ye,” one of the disciple’s asked carefully, while covering his nose “What should we do?”
This time Ye Jinning hadn’t come alone. He was determined to capture Yun Caixiao heart, therefore he arranged for a few disciples from Thunder Sound Pavilion, in case of a rainy day.
“What more can we do?” Ye Jinning said while clenching his jaws “Immediately send a message to my father! Ask him to discuss our marriage personally. I do not believe that this meager Hong Wenqing emperor will dare to offend our Thunder Sound Pavilion.”
“Yes!” The two disciples wanted to leave this place immediately, but they were stopped by Ye Jinning
“Right,” Ye Jinning said hatefully ” I cannot forgive that b.a.s.t.a.r.d so easily. It’s impossible that there is no one in this city that could teach him a lesson! Find that someone. I’ll bear the consequences.” He said as he took a shiny black iron token from his sleeve
“Elder’s token!” When the two Thunder Sound Pavilion disciples saw this token, they immediately nodded “With this thing, even those respectable 6 star martial artists must obey our command.”
As one of Six Great Orthodoxies, Thunder Sound Pavilion had a very powerful reputation.
With this elder token, which of those loose martial artist would dare to not give them face!
Meanwhile Hong Xiaobao went down the eastern avenue with Yun Caixiao, until they stopped before a three-storied small building. The building was decorated with red lanterns, while the entrance was crowded with both men and women. Above the entrance there was a sign with “Warm Fragrant Building” written on it in golden ink.
“Is this a brothel?!” Yun Caixiao exclaimed. Generally only a brothel would be named like that, but Yun Caixiao wouldn’t think that her Big Brother Xiaobao would bring her to such a place. However she quickly realized that this wasn’t a brothel in a traditional sense. After all, this was a first time that she saw women lining up to a brothel. And by the look of it, there were quite a few of them.
It really was uncommon.
“You’ll find out when you go inside, haha.” Hong Xiaobao said while going up to the entrance. When he arrived by the entrance, he saw ** (1) smiling happily, and greeting him from a distance.
“Ninth Prince His Highness hadn’t visited us these days. We almost died out of boredom!”
This **, although old, her beauty was still visible on her face. You could see that she was quite the beauty when she was young. Suddenly she grabbed Hong Xiaobao and hugged him. Yun Caixiao knit her brows, but did not say anything.
“Aunt Lan, I have not seen you for days, but you became even more beautiful” Meanwhile one of Hong Xiaobao’s guards took out two large silver plates, and forced them into Aunt Lan’s bosom. Afterwards Hong Xiaobao said. “Today I have brought my fiancee and my brothers to visit the Great Healthcare, I’ll ask Aunt Lan to arrange that.”
Instantly earning 50 taels of silver made Aunt Lan beam with joy, as she tenderly said “Oh, Ninth Prince, you can leave this matter to me, this slave will do her best.” She said as she hurriedly walked inside and said “Sisters, come out to receive our special guest. Ninth Prince has arrived, let’s see which sister has the luck to serve his highness.”
Hong Xiaobao brought Yun Caixiao and his guards into the Warm Fragrant Building .
When they entered they saw 20 beautiful girls gorgeously dressed, waiting for Hong Xiaobao’s choice.
“Good, very good!” Seeing such a scene Hong Xiaobao was very satisfied. He said “Reward them” Immediately guards spread out and gave everyone 20 taels of silver. But one female didn’t act with etiquette and said “Your Highness, this young slave does not want the money. This slave’s only wish is to serve Ninth Prince.”
“Haha, good! This is the right att.i.tude, you’ll be the one.” Hong Xiaobao said with a nod, “Everybody, don’t be modest, pick up a sister for yourself!”
All of the guards knew what to do as they chose one for themselves. Finally Hong Xiaobao helped Yun Caixiao pick one girl, as they went farther inside
On the way many people greeted Hong Xiaobao, “Ninth Prince has arrived, last time my martial arts advanced thanks to Your Highness.” “Ha ha, Your Highness Ninth Prince finally came back, has Ninth Prince had any inspiration since the last time?”
“Ha ha, h.e.l.lo h.e.l.lo, please everyone, do not hesitate and have fun ha ha.” Hong Xiaobao walked while greeting everyone “Today I have come with my fiancee, but please everyone, don’t be shy.”
Following that many people shouted ‘Long live the emperor!’ before saying “So this is Prince’s future wife. Can it be that the Prince will perform earlier today?”
Aunt Lan beamed with joy, as she nodded “If it would be any other person, then this old woman wouldn’t sell their reputation, however for Ninth Prince this old granny is ready to forfeit her life. You smelly group of men, do you want to create some sort of disturbance? We shall start when Ninth Prince feels comfortable!”
Hearing Aunt Lan’s ‘fearsome’ words, all men have laughed
When they walked inside Yun Caixiao looked around
This Warm Fragrant building didn’t look big from the outside, but it was actually quite the opposite. Warm Fragrant Building’s lobby appeared to be about 50 meters long, but when one entered inside it was nearly 100 meters long. At the center there was a large podium, about one meter high. It looked a little like a platform for a martial arts contest.
(Something like this)
The platform was surrounded with tables, and although the time was just past noon, the hall was filled with people, there were at least 100 people, both men and women.
Lastly, at the back, there were a few s.p.a.cious, cushioned chairs that were lifted higher than the rest. Obviously these chairs were meant for VIP-guests.
Yun Caixiao was stupefied at such scene, but she quickly came back to her senses as she was pulled by Hong Xiaobao. When they went to the VIP region they found out that the chairs were more like a settee. The chairs were made out of Red Pear Wood, which was an absolute high-end good!
When Hong Xiaobao lied down on his love-seat, Yun Caixiao did the same on her own. The guards didn’t lie down. Afterall, they were still guards.
Just when they lied down, from the entrance came two people. It was Qingqing with that middle-aged woman!
