Chapter 131 – Changing Clothes
I'm really sorry for what happened to the previous chapter. There was an error with my timer and inkstone hence, it ended up like that. I also couldn't delete it because it doesn't allow me to do it unless a CE does it.
.
Picking up the cottony fabric with her hands, Lin Xiaofei looked at it with narrowed eyes. The expression on her face could turn the dress in her hands into ice cubes.
"What's wrong?" Chu Chu, who has already changed into a light orange dress with begonia flowers at the hem of the skirt, asked her. Under Lin Xiaofei's orders, she had to change into a new dress.
Moving her gaze from the dress to Chu Chu, Lin Xiaofei said, "Nothing."
As she said that, she started to change too.. She first took the male garments off her body and started to fumble on the dress that could make a dead man stand up from his grave and rush to their way.
Su Tang, on the other hand, wanted to stop her young miss. There was no way that a young lady would be able to wear something like this! Even she, just a simple maid in her employ could faint in embarrassment, how much more if her young miss tried this scandalous dress on?
Unfortunately, she was already too late to stop her young miss as Lin Xiaofei was already tying the second to the last ribbons of her dress. The ribbon was the one keeping the dress tight on her body as there was no magic that could make the dress not slip down and keep her naked glory from the public.
Turning to look at her maid, Lin Xiaofei looked at her with a cool gaze and it was enough to make Su Tang shut her mouth and quickly and swiftly take off her male garments and slip into the thin fabric that she would never call a proper dress for a lady.
Once they were done, they emerged out of the folding screen. Chu Chu and Su Tang, who shared the same folding screen were the first to come out. And the last one was Lin Xiaofei who stepped out of another folding screen.
Usually, a folding screen would have landscapes of mountains or rivers drawn on it but when Lin Xiaofei came out, the three other people in the room blinked their eyes and thought that they were momentarily blinded by what was in front of them.
There was no need for a landscape to be drawn on the folding screen. With Lin Xiaofei's appearance, it was enough to make anyone gawk like a carp.
Lin Xiaofei stood before them. She was wearing a red and black dress that was slightly see-through. The sleeves of the dress slipped down her pale shoulders and her hair was half let down while the other half was tied into a twisted bun on top of her head with only the hairpin that she used to stab the manager with to keep it tied up.
When Lin Xiaofei wore the male garments, she didn't bother wearing any makeup as it would give away her disguise.
However because of this, when Lin Xiaofei stepped out of the folding screen, she exudes the aura of a natural beauty that could make anyone look at her with curious fascination and the image of a succubus that could drain the life force of any human beings.
"Y-young miss…" Su Tang said softly. As she served under the employ of Lin Xiaofei for several years now, she could say that she was immune to her young lady's beauty but with this image of her right in front of them, Su Tang couldn't help but feel like her breath was caught in her throat.
Similarly to her, Chu Chu had seen many beauties in her life as she was working in the flesh business and adding the fact that she was closed with the peerless face, Xiaofei her best friend, Chu Chu almost thought that no one could compare to her friend. Unfortunately, she was wrong.
There was another beauty that could overthrow her best friend from her throne.
Clearing his throat, Shen Mo didn't know where to look. In front of him were three ladies that wore scandalous dresses that only prostitutes in the brothel would wear and as a man, it would be quite hard to ignore them.
"What should we do next, Young Miss?" Shen Mo asked, trying to keep his thoughts away from the three and looked at the manager who was lying still in the bed on the other side of the room.
"We're going out." Lin Xiaofei simply said as she headed towards the door with confident steps.
…
Outside the brothel, Gu Yan paced back and forth on top of the tiled roof of the restaurant across the brothel.
He was tasked to look after Lin Xiaofei and see to it that nothing bad happens to her as per his master's orders.
He already expected her to go out of the residence and spread chaos and mayhem in the Capital as Lin Xiaofei wasn't the type of woman who sits still and looked pretty in her room. His master wouldn't be stupidly infatuated with her if she was that kind of creature.
And yet, he couldn't comprehend why of all places she could go, she ended up in the steps of Bai Hua Lou, a brothel?!
He could understand if she were to go to a brothel for male beauties while his master was away but why go to Bai Hua Lou?
Could it be…
Gu Yan shook his head and banished that abominable thought away from his mind. His master wouldn't try to pursue her if she was leaning on the other side unless his master has already lost his mind.
He initially wanted to follow them inside and get an answer to his questions and be relieved of his doubts but as he was about to step into the doors of Bai Hua Lou, Gu Yan's eyes landed on the figure of Yu Fangzhu who was leaving and stopped.
He immediately retreated outside and now, he could only stand on top of a tiled roof under the blazing sun.
