Chapter 486: The Masked Headliner
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone knows all about the brothels Merry and Unbound on the most bustling street in Tai City. But only because, Merry and Unbound opened for business opposite one another. Year after year, they tried everything they could to grab customers.
For example, a month ago, the headliner of Unbound, Jinmeng choreographed a colorful feather dance and instantly attracted nobles. This made Merry seem like they didn’t have any special talented women, causing their business to plummet.
However, things have changed recently. Wealthy nobles have been flooding over to Merry because of their new masked beauty who beat Jinmeng with only half her face revealed.
News of this spread like wildfire all over the streets.
“Brother Zhao, did you know about Merry’s new headliner Qing’er?”
“Ah! How could I not know? I heard that for the headliner’s first appearance, she played a song that actually attracted the birds!”
“Yes! Also, for her second appearance, she had winged eyeliner and wore a red dress with large, gold accessories whilst she performed some kind of dance. Her dance is much stronger than Jinmeng’s colorful lotus dance!”
“And- and- for her third performance…”
All in all, anything about Merry’s Qing’er was a hot topic of conversation in Tai City.
Qing’er became the official top headliner of Tai City. Many officials and noblemen couldn’t wait to see this diamond.
In a lavishly furnished room, Chu Qingchuan hasn’t yet finished changing into revealing clothes. The boss lady walked onto the room with a beaming smile. “Qing’er, I had no idea that you were so talented. You know how to do it all. Thanks to her, Mama had earned quite a sum of money recently.
Just then, she pulled out a bag of taels in front of Chu Qingchuan. “Qing’er, this is for you. If you feel that it’s not enough, Mama will give you more!” She said with a smile.
Chu Qingchuan didn’t take the taels but removed her veil to reveal her natural beauty. “Mama, I’d like to leave today. I wish to have your permission to do so.” She told the boss lady with a faint smile.
The look on the boss lady’s face immediately fell. “What? You plan to leave so soon?”
Chu Qingchuan jumped in shock, then calmed down and nodded. “Mama, I have parents and an older brother in my family. I’m sure they’re worrying about me. I don’t want to make them worry.”
The boss lady secretly gritted her teeth. After some contemplation, she smiled and said, “Qing’er, Mama Rong will think about it alright?”
Chu Qingchuan nodded.
The boss lady spun around with a dark glow in her eyes. This young lady from who knows where would be trouble if forced to stay. It seemed like that was the only option.
In another luxurious room in Merry, the eldest son of the Xu family, Xu Qingjue sat on a chair, sipping tea. He thought about Chu Qingchuan’s seductive figure and he had a determined look on his face.
All of a sudden, the boss lady walked in and smiled at Xu Qingjue. “Sir Xu, didn’t you mention that you wanted to buy Qing’er to drive bad luck away? I just asked Qing’er and she’s agreed to do it!”
Sir Xu’s entire body tensed up. A second later, his lips curved into an elegant smirk. “I thought you would never allow it! After all, headliners with so much talent are rare. If you sell her to me, you definitely won’t be able to find another headliner like her!”
It’s true that the boss lady hadn’t wanted to sell Chu Qingchuan, but she changed her mind now. She may as well sell her off for an insane price rather than keep a disloyal wh*re. This was the experience that she gained after many years in the business after all.
“Sir Xu, you’re so handsome and obedient, what girl in Tai City wouldn’t want to marry you? Qing’er has the luck of eight lifetimes to be able to marry you!” She said with a flattering smile.
The complement made Chu Qingjue smile widely. “Quit flattering me. I’ve heard enough of that. Name your price!” He said arrogantly.
