Death… and me

"Speaking of drinking wine with girls… That's something that I've never done before." Chu Yang coughed and rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "What… does it mean to drink wine with girls? Is it supposed to be fun?"

"Bull…" The four people yelled simultaneously as they looked at Chu Yang with great contempt!

"I really don't know… I've never tried doing it before…" Chu Yang continued with an innocent look on his face.

"Big Brother, are you saying that you have never been to such places in your life?" Ji Mo stared at Chu Yang with his eyes wide open.

Meanwhile, Rui Bu Tong and Luo Ke Di burst out laughing.

"How about we go to check it out today?" Chu Yang scratched his head as a light flashed from within his eyes.

There was one place in particular within Iron Cloud Citadel that Chu Yang had always been extremely interested in, but could not be certain of. While this place appeared charming and lovely, there was a chance that it could be the most dangerous place in Iron Cloud Citadel!

For Lower Three Heavens, calling it dragon bay or tiger cave would not be exaggerating it!

It was the House of Exceptional Beauties!

As the saying goes:

Singing and pouring wine at all times;

Careless dancing in the night erases all woes;

Where do beauties worth discarding the world for go to?

House of the most Exceptional Beauties in the world!

Ever since House of Exceptional Beauties first surfaced in Iron Cloud Citadel, it never ceased to remain standing despite the endless fighting or changing of dynasties!

In the previous life, after Golden Horse Riders Department had taken over Iron Cloud, their greatest loss was to House of Exceptional Beauties!

As the name suggests, the House of Exceptional Beauties was a brothel. However, this was a different kind of brothel. Instead of selling their bodies, the ladies in this brothel only sold their talents. Furthermore, the prices involved clearly showcased that this was a high-class brothel. If someone was not a rich master, he would surely not be able to afford the price of a night of entertainment.

Back then, Iron Cloud Citadel had fallen into the hands of the enemies, hence the people of the Golden Horse Riders Department headed to the House of Exceptional Beauties to have some fun. Subsequently, they demanded the ladies to accompany them to bed. In return, the people of the House of Exceptional Beauties gave them a good beating and tossed them out of their premises.

Shortly after, an entire battalion attempted to retaliate, but they were also beaten up, with all their teeth scattered on the ground. Ultimately, Diwu Qing Rou had to show up personally to resolve this conflict. No one knew how or why the House of Exceptional Beauties was able to remain as the House of Exceptional Beauties. Essentially, what did this say about their strength?

Given Diwu Qing Rou's immense strength, he had unexpectedly let the House of Exceptional Beauties off! There was no need for anyone to even think for a second to know its terrifying power.

Chu Yang, too, hadn't a clue as to what was hidden behind the House of Exceptional Beauties. However, what he did know was that it had to be a great beast! House of Exceptional Beauties was evidently a tool used to gather wealth for more power. Other than this, there was nothing else that he knew.

Nonetheless, this was sufficient to cause Chu Yang to respect it fully!

Chu Yang had always thought about the possibility of getting the House of Exceptional Beauties to join his side. If he was successful in this, his strength would definitely increase greatly. Since the House of Exceptional Beauties being in Iron Cloud Citadel for so many years, how could Tie Bu Tian and Tie Long Cheng possibly not know of its value?

If they had no chance of getting them to join their side, Chu Yang foresaw that his chances of succeeding were slim as well.

If he were to carelessly step on the toes of the House of Exceptional Beauties, everything could be ruined.

Hence, Chu Yang decided to lay his hands off of it.

Now that the world was on the ice and Iron Cloud Citadel was extremely busy, his Bu Tian Pavilion was actually in a resting state. Chu Yang had wanted to go and check out the House of Exceptional Beauties. Of course, bringing along Ji Mo and the rest with him was for fun. At the same time, it was for their assistance in asserting power.

Chu Yang pondered for a moment before saying, "Wait for me here for a while. I will go to Bu Tian Pavilion first and see if there's anything for me to do. If there's nothing, we will go to House of Exceptional Beauties for a little fun."

"House of Exceptional Beauties?" Upon hearing these words, Ji Mo, Luo Ke Di, and Rui Bu Tong immediately became exhilarated, "Exceptional beauties? How many exceptional…"

Luo Ke Di and Ji Mo turned to look at each other. All of a sudden, they burst out laughing lewdly.

"Do take note that they sell their talents and not their bodies. Don't make a fool of yourselves." Chu Yang warned them sternly.

"Then that would make them more captivating! What fun is there if they're just selling their own bodies? It's disgusting to even think about it!" Ji Mo let out the full-blown laughter of a pervert, "It's exactly what I want… Awooh…"

Gu Du Xing appeared cold as he said, "House of Exceptional Beauties? I'm not interested in this! Besides Xiao Miao, are there even any other exceptional beauty in this world?"

The four others rolled their eyes to this. It seemed that all women in the world were filth, with the exception of Gu Miao Ling, of course.

"Let's go, let's go… Hey, hey, what are you waiting for? We will go to Bu Tian Pavilion with you and head to the House of Exceptional Beauties together!" Luo Ke Di said swiftly. This punk was so excited that his face had turned red. His eyes shined with lust, "I'm too excited…"

Next, he looked down and said anxiously, "You see, it's even ready…"

Sure enough, there was an eye-catching bulge at his crotch…

Chu Yang scoffed and kicked him.

Immediately, Luo Ke Di moved aside. He reached in his hand and tucked away his little brother. He then said in an upset and reminiscing tone, "I still remember a time when I was enjoying my travels… I would never have expected to be grabbed by you people the moment I reached Lower Three Heavens. From the open ocean, I had fallen into a desert. Damn it. It's on the verge of exploding…"

The five flew away together as they continued to argue.

Gu Du Xing was hesitant to go, but Ji Mo and Luo Ke Di simply grabbed him from either side and dragged him along.

Even though the great snowfall had slowed down a few days ago, it was still utterly cold. Dark clouds filled the air and the snow formed a thick layer on the ground.

Ever since Mo Qing Wu left him, Chu Yang had been feeling slightly uneasy. During this period of time, he had trained like mad and beat himself up, but he was unsuccessful in alleviating the sadness in his heart.

However, he could not speak of this pain of his with anyone. If Gu Du Xing and the gang found out that he was lovesick with a nine and a half years old girl… they would probably despise him!

According to his estimations, Mo Qing Wu would have reached home by now. Furthermore, the clan would have found out about everything. What would the Mo clan do?

Chu Yang was still feeling trouble. What he regretted the most was the fact that Dong Wu Shang ran so fast. He did not even have enough time to ask for some news on Mo Qing Wu…

Meanwhile, they continued to argue all the way to Bu Tian Pavilion.

While the weather remained cold, all of Iron Cloud Citadel remained bustling as before. The only exception was Bu Tian Pavilion. This was typically the busiest place but was now the quietest.

Most people had been sent out to do work by Chu Yang. Within Bu Tian Pavilion, there were only new recruits that were left behind to train. Wu Qian Qian was the one overseeing the operations. Cheng Zi Ang and Chen Yu Tong were not present; their whereabouts were unknown.

"Where did you send them?" Wu Qian Qian asked.

"It's a secret." Chu Yang replied casually, "Little miss, you should not be so curious."

Hearing this, Wu Qian Qian could not help but be annoyed. I am your elder martial sister!

"I have a few things to do for the next few days. If there's nothing going on at Bu Tian Pavilion, please don't bother me." Chu Yang instructed lightly.

"Who would dare to bother you?" Wu Qian Qian was fuming inside. Subsequently, she asked politely, "The prince… ah, no… Does the emperor need you?"

"He needs me? Does he want me to marry his little sister?" Chu Yang rolled his eyes.

"You are quick when it comes to pretty girls…" Wu Qian Qian's eyes widened as she continued, "He has a little sister?"

"He doesn't have a little sister?" In comparison to Wu Qian Qian, Chu Yang acted even more surprised.

"Where is his little sister from?" Wu Qian Qian stared at him with curious eyes, "All of Iron Cloud Nation knows that the prince was the only successor of the emperor!"

"Oh…" Chu Yang replied casually, "It must be because he hid her away… Huh? That's doesn't make any sense… Then, who could it be?"

Chu Yang frowned and pretended to think. Next, he said slowly, "Iron Cloud's number one beauty. But… given such a situation, how would anyone know if she is actually a beauty?"

"Big Brother, are you done?" Ji Mo called from outside the door, "You have the balls to talk about House of Exceptional Beauties right in front of a beautiful woman!"

"What House of Exceptional Beauties?" Wu Qian Qian became alert instantly, "House of Exceptional Beauties in Iron Cloud Citadel?"

Her words had just interrupted Chu Yang's train of thoughts. He replied nonchalantly, "I'm taking these guys there for some fun…"

"You're taking them to House of Exceptional Beauties for some fun?" Wu Qian Qian's eyes immediately grew large. Her soft, smiling face was slowly turning cold. Suddenly, she roared out loud, "You can't go!"

"What?" Chu Yang looked at her in great surprise and said, "You can't be this unreasonable! What does us going to House of Exceptional Beauties have anything to do with you?"

"I…" Wu Qian Qian bit her lip as she was unable to think of a reply.

"I, what?" Chu Yang turned to walk out, "You can continue doing your work. Guys, let's go!"

"Hold on!" Wu Qian Qian ran after him, "I'm going too."

These words of hers shocked Gu Du Xing, Ji Mo, Luo Ke Di, and Rui Bu Tong. Are you going too? That place is a brothel… where men go to play with women!

"You can't go!" Chu Yang shouted frustratingly. Bringing a woman into a brothel? What is this? Besides, I am not going there to fool around…

"I must go!" Wu Qian Qian did not back down.

"Tell me… What are you going to do there?" Chu Yang scratched his head in deep annoyance, "What are you going for? So that you can play with prostitutes? You…"

"In any case, I must go!" Wu Qian Qian had rarely shown such resilience. You want to go and play? Don't even think about it!

"You have to stay here!" Chu Yang shouted sternly, "That is an order!"

"I will resign immediately and go with you!" Wu Qian Qian retorted angrily.

The two glared at each other like they were two fighting cocks.

Gu Du Xing and the rest shifted their gazes between the two parties. They stood there with their arms folded. It was as if they were watching with great entertainment.

At this very moment, a savior appeared. Cheng Zi Ang appeared with a pile of documents in his arms, "Oh, miss. This… ah, the minister is here. That's good. This…"

"What is it?" Wu Qian Qian said carelessly.

"I'm going to the royal palace…" Chu Yang ran away immediately.

Wu Qian Qian yelled at him, "Wait!" She then gave chase in a flash.

Minister Chu yelled, "Cheng Zi Ang, I command you to stop her! If you let her get past the door today, I will punish you!"

With a quick wave of his hand, Chu Yang escaped with the rest.

"Oh, hey, hey… Miss Wu, Miss Wu…" Cheng Zi Ang stretched out his arms, "Aunty, please have mercy on my old bones…"

Seeing that Wu Qian Qian had wanted to give chase, Cheng Zi Ang nearly cried.

"The minister is going to the royal palace for official business!" Cheng Zi Ang was still confused. What is going on? Why do you want to stop him from going to the palace?

"Is the royal palace at the House of Exceptional Beauties?" When Wu Qian Qian saw that Chu Yang had disappeared from her sight, she stomped her foot bitterly, "He wants to go to the House of Exceptional Beauties to play…"

"Huh?" Cheng Zi Ang's eyes widened instantly. The minister wants to play with prostitutes?

Noticing that Wu Qian Qian's eyes had turned red, Cheng Zi Ang immediately tried to comfort her, "Going to the House of Exceptional Beauties is not a big deal. At worst, he would be listening to the ladies sing. The people at the House of Exceptional Beauties sell their talents and not their bodies…"

He cursed internally: This minister is stupid. There is an exceptional beauty right in front of you, yet you are going to the House of Exceptional Beauties to play with prostitutes? Who in Bu Tian Pavilion doesn't know how Miss Wu feels towards you…

"It's still not acceptable that they sell their talents and not their bodies!" Wu Qian Qian shouted angrily.

At this moment, she never stopped to think for a moment: I am trying to stop Chu Yang, but what does he have to do with me?
