Chapter 504 (1/2)

Long Yi didn't think much about Wuhen's past. When he thought about the one and only younger sister he had, a complicated feeling appeared in his heart. He had to admit that he was actually a little happy when he learned that she wasn't his biological younger sister. However, another thought flashed through his mind. Long Yi was thinking whether or not his thoughts were wicked right now.

Long Yi walked out of the Ximen Residence. At this moment, the sky was not yet completely bright, but the streets were already starting to bustle with activity. The bustling streets brought vitality to Soaring Dragon City.

For an unknown reason, Long Yi always felt that there was a void in his heart. It felt as though he was missing something. What exactly was he missing? Long Yi began to understand what he was missing when he walked from one street to another. He remembered that wherever he went in the past, there would be someone following him. It would either be Li Qing, or Barbarian Bull. He didn't feel that they were missing when he was in Blue Moon City, but after returning to Soaring Dragon City, the empty feeling became extremely prominent.

”Barbarian Bull… He should be happily living his life as a father in the Hengduan Mountains. Li Qing… I wonder if he pa.s.sed through all 18 tests in his clan? Is my Si Bi still staying in the clan?” A hint of warmth unconsciously appeared in Long Yi's heart.

Long Yi seemed to be walking forward with no destination in mind. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped and he looked around. He discovered that he had unexpectedly arrived at the *** street of Soaring Dragon City. He solemnly looked at this completely new building in front of him and saw a gold-plated signboard with 'Vermillion Jade Cuddling House' written on it. The name was straightforward. People came to brothels to cuddle jades.

Creak, a beautiful girl who was yawning pushed open the window of the store which faced the street. She stared at the streets as she leaned against the window. She saw a handsome youth who was wearing a silk gown stand in front of the entrance of the Vermillion Jade Cuddling House. When she saw him standing at the entrance, she was extremely surprised. Could it be that this person was so thirsty that he ran over here early in the morning to look for a girl? One should know that even ordinary brothels wouldn't open at daytime.

This girl was known as Cui (emerald green) Niang. Like her name, she was wearing clothing which was emerald green in color. She was one of the two great stars of this Vermillion Jade Cuddling House. Although her beauty wasn't devastating, she possessed a great flavor. Especially her slender figure… She could enchant any man to death.

Stars naturally had the privilege of stars. Every day, she just needed to sing or accompany some ill.u.s.trated high-ranking officials to drink a few cups of wine. As such, she still had a pure body. This was the so-called selling arts and not selling the body. However, Cui Niang was extremely clear in her heart that selling her arts and not her body was just a joke. Everyone had a price and she was no exception. It was just that her price might be completely different from other ordinary women.

Cui Niang quickly discovered that she was wrong. Staring at this Vermillion Jade Cuddling House, the youth had a changing expression. Sometimes, his face would be filled with sadness and sometimes, his expression would become one of loneliness. He wasn't a starving dire wolf that was looking for food. His expression made the string at the bottom of her heart quiver.

When Cui Niang saw that the youth had turned around and was about to leave, she involuntarily called out to him, ”This n.o.ble son, how about coming in and drinking a cup of wine with me?”

Long Yi had already noticed this brothel girl who had good looks and temperament looking at him. However, he didn't care about her. Yet when he was about to leave, she called out to him.

”Drink wine? I don't have a single cent on me right now. Can I drink on credit?” Long Yi turned around again and joked. He shrugged his shoulders toward the girl.

”It doesn't matter. I am inviting you in for a drink. Wait a minute, I will open the door.” Cui Niang said. She didn't know why, but this was the first time she had been so curious about a man she had just seen for the first time.

”No need to bother. Since a lady is inviting me for a drink, I won't decline.” The figure of Long Yi flashed and he instantly appeared beside Cui Niang.

Cui Niang exclaimed in surprise and patted her chest. She was not a naïve woman who had not seen the world. She had seen and met those high-cla.s.s magicians and sword masters. However, even among all the strong people she had seen, she had never seen anyone move as quickly as Long Yi.

Long Yi sized up this room. It was very wide and it was elegantly decorated. When he saw this, Long Yi knew that the position of this girl in the Vermillion Jade Cuddling House wasn't low.

”Wait here for me.” Cui Niang said. After opening the door, she ran out of the room. After a while, she returned with steaming hot dishes and a small bottle of fine wine.

Long Yi had just eaten the food personally prepared by Dongfang Wan. As such, he wasn't hungry right now. He had just been exploring the streets when this girl invited him for a drink.

”I wonder where n.o.ble son came from. I have never seen you around here before.” Cui Niang asked with a smile as she gave Long Yi a cup of fine wine.

”I am a person who used to live in Soaring Dragon City. However, I just came back after spending some time outside.” Long Yi sipped a mouthful of fine wine and replied.

”Is that so? It's no wonder… Just now, I saw that this n.o.ble son seemed to be extremely sad. How about pouring your heart out? Let Cui Niang share a bit of your burden.” Cui Niang softly asked. When she saw that this handsome youth's gaze wasn't sizing up her hot figure, she managed to sense a n.o.ble aura coming from him. She knew that he wasn't an average person..

Long Yi shook his head without any change in his expression. However, a hint of gloominess flashed through his eyes. This Vermillion Jade Cuddling House was called Beautiful Fragrant House two years ago. It was also one of the branches of the Skynet Intelligence Organization. He still remembered the scene of Ruyu talking freely and Qing Wu joking around with Piao Xue. They were no longer here. In the past, when Beautiful Fragrance House was burned to the ground, Ruyu, Qing Wu, and Piao Xue had died without a trace. All of it was due to Long Zhan's arrangements… Long Yi knew that he would definitely make Long Zhan pay for everything he had done.

Bang, the porcelain cup in Long Yi's hand was crushed and it disintegrated into fine powder.

”Ah……” Cui Niang exclaimed.

”Are you afraid?” Long Yi said with a faint smile on his face.

Cui Niang nodded her head and hastily shook her head again. Her boss always said that the guests were G.o.ds and she absolutely shouldn't provoke G.o.ds. The G.o.ds were always right. Even if the G.o.ds did something wrong, they were still in the right.

”Who is your boss?” Long Yi asked. According to his observation, this woman wasn't engaged in information gathering.

”I don't know. I just know that big sister Hua has been managing us.” Cui Niang replied.

Long Yi raised his eyebrows. It seemed as though the boss of this Vermillion Jade Cuddling House wasn't simple at all.

”Cui Niang, are you awake? My cream is used up…… He…… Who is he?” A young girl wearing a pink cotton dress pushed open the door and entered Cui Niang's room. She was shocked when she saw that there was another man in the room.

”Xi Hong, he is…… He is my friend.” Cui Niang had not expected that this close sister of hers would suddenly enter her room. She didn't know how to reply to her and she replied Xi Hong with a red face.

This Xi Hong was a bewitching beauty. Her facial features were exquisite and l.u.s.trous. It was just that she was exposing too much of her body. It seemed as though her charm wasn't inferior to Mu Hanyan at all.

”Hehe, this handsome brother, which family's n.o.ble son are you?” Xi Hong jumped to Long Yi's side and teased him. She blew a mouthful of fragrant breath into Long Yi's ear. She was acting too unrestrained.

”Aren't you the clearest about which family I came from?” Long Yi said casually with a smile.

”n.o.ble son is joking. I have never seen n.o.ble son before! How can I know who you are?” Xi Hong said with her eyes wide open.

Long Yi smirk and glanced at Xi Hong. His taunting smile instantly pierced through her soul. When this woman had entered the room, her eyes had flashed for only an instant. However, Long Yi was able to catch that. There were many people in Soaring Dragon City who were able to recognize him. Although this woman had clearly recognized him, she pretended not to. Even if she had never seen him before, she might have seen his portrait somewhere. There was only one kind of people who would look at his portrait without meeting him before…. They were intelligence agents.

Long Yi felt as though this situation was extremely strange. With Cui Niang's status, she could easily gather intelligence. However, she didn't seem to know much. Why didn't the boss make use of such a good tool?

Xi Hong panicked when she saw Long Yi's gaze. She felt as if she was standing stark naked in front of Long Yi and all her secrets were out in the open. She dared to confirm that he had already seen through her ident.i.ty.

At this moment, the sky had already gotten bright and the sounds of hoofbeat suddenly came from outside the store. A fairly luxurious carriage stopped before the entrance of the Vermillion Jade Cuddling House and a youth jumped out of the carriage. He was wearing a skintight gown which was black and white in color. Bang, bang, bang, he knocked the door of the entrance.

Xi Hong looked outside the window and she saw the man at the entrance. Turning her head backward, she chuckled and said, ”Cui Niang, your sweetheart has come. Things are going to get lively…”

Cui Niang looked at Long Yi and she snapped, ”Xi Hong, don't talk nonsense! n.o.ble son Ying isn't my sweetheart.”

”Okay, okay, he is your admirer. However, if he sees this n.o.ble son, he might fly into a rage.” Xi Hong didn't dare to look at Long Yi. However, she took pleasure in other people's misfortunes. She appeared as if she had made up her mind to look at this good play of rivals in love.

”Cui Niang, I am coming. Look what I bought for you.” The door wasn't closed and the youth walked in with a huge bag of things. When he saw Long Yi sitting in the room, his complexion instantly became gloomy.
