In response, Ying Lian motioned to the female prostitutes next to her to get out of the way, gently took Qin Shi's arm and walked towards the second floor.
Before going upstairs, Qin Shi took a picture of Fenghen: "Wait for me here, don't run around."
"Brother, don't worry and go. By the way, please slow down and don't be in a hurry. I'm here with my fairy sister and I can't bear to run away." Feng Hen responded vaguely while sitting among the flowers without even looking back.
Hearing this, Qin Shiya scolded: "Damn, you are no longer stupid now. I really wonder if you are deliberately trying to trick me!"
Chu Nuan smiled sweetly from the side: "Don't worry, sir, your friend will be fine down here with me and my sisters."
"Well, please."
In desperation, Qin Shichong greeted Chu Nuan politely, and then threw out more than a dozen spirit stones before he and Ying Lian went to the boudoir on the second floor.
The boudoir has pale pink walls and is decorated very warmly.
As soon as she entered the room, Yinglian immediately became alert. Then she looked around, and when she saw no one was following her, she quickly locked the door and then stared at Qin Shi in disbelief.
The sound transmission that Qin Shi had just given her through telepathy was still echoing in her mind, and she asked in shock: "What did you just say? You said you were Qiaoer's brother? Your name is Qin Shi?"
When his name was told, Qin Shi couldn't help but froze. After careful calculation, he forgot how long it had been since anyone called out his real name. He smiled and said: "Haha, you know my name. It seems that Qiaoer trusts you very much." .”
"Huh..."
Ying Lian received a response, and a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face that still had charm.
She took a few steps back stiffly and sat on the wooden chair on the dressing table in silence for a long time before saying: "I often hear Qiao'er mention it, but it's really hard to imagine it when I see it now. That made the strongest sect in the northern region more than half a year ago." The legendary figure whose Burning Flame Sect was almost destroyed is actually standing in front of me alive."
Shrugging his shoulders, Qin Shi leaned on the bed and said, "What a legendary figure. Everyone has a temper. They just get angry when others force them. Can you tell me about Qiao'er?"
Yinglian frowned and said with an unsightly expression, "Qiao'er? She's not here. She was picked up by Wumen Auction House three days ago."
Qin Shi nodded without surprise: "I know this. I will pick her up in the afternoon. Tell me something else. For example, how did you get to know each other? How has she been in the past six months?"
Hearing this, Yinglian raised her head in horror. Are you going to pick her up in the afternoon
It is really hard to understand how Qin Shi could say such shocking words in such an understatement. It was the largest auction house in the Chiyan Empire, and there was also a powerful Xuan Palace.
But she didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded and said, "Qiao'er and I are destined to be together. I went out to return to my parents' home before, and I happened to see her coming from the northern region, so I kindly took her in at Qinglian Tower."
"Take her in Qinglian Tower? Are you so kind?"
Qin Shi frowned, and there was a bit of ridicule in his words. He had seen too many frivolous places like brothels. Which madam is not a money obsessed person who is blinded by money? Would anyone have a kind word to say
Hearing the sting in those words, Yinglian frowned and said, "What are you thinking? Do you think all the women in brothels are soulless bodies? Our Qinglian Tower is not like that!"
"Although this is a brothel and we are female prostitutes, we are also human beings and we also have dignity."
Yinglian said excitedly: "In my early years, I crossed thousands of mountains to marry into the Gong family in Qinglian City, and married Gong Yun, the boss of the Gong family, but I didn't want him to be lazy, addicted to beauty, and live a life of wine and meat every day. He exaggerated his days and even beat me up when he came home drunk."
"Although women should behave in a virtuous manner, I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I took the initiative to leave the Gong family. Do you know what I was called by others in those days? A bastard who doesn't know how to be chaste. Haha, now that I think about it, I feel... Ridiculous, do women have to be consistent and men should go out to have fun?"
Speaking of sadness, Yinglian's voice was choked with sobs, and her beautiful eyes were already full of mist: "After leaving the Gong family, I had no choice, so I stayed in Qinglian Tower. At that time, Qinglian Tower was called Rouge Tower. I made a living with those dirty men, but fortunately I met a noble man later and gave me support. Then I saved some money and sold Rouge's real estate. Because I was away from home, I married Qinglian, so I named her Qinglian. building."
"None of the sisters here are willing to be prostitutes. Who doesn't want to be good? Who doesn't want to live a down-to-earth life? They all came here because they were abandoned by men and had no other way out."
"I would never force them. Even if they don't do business or sell their bodies, I can still support them. But many of them see that I work too hard, so they come out to do business or even sell themselves. There are many of them who revealed that they gave up after being heartbroken. But I know they don’t have bad intentions, they are just driven to desperation by this hateful world!”
"Tell me, we, a group of women, what can we do? To conquer the world, that is your men's business. We women just want a small home, not a big one, just warm!"
After saying these words, Qin Shi's heart trembled, and he recalled in a daze the many female prostitutes in Qinglian Tower, especially Chu Nuan. They did have something extraordinary about them.
He blamed himself for this: "I'm sorry, I... don't know!"
"It's okay, it's all over."
Yinglian wiped the corners of her eyes and then said with a carefree smile: "It's all my fault that I have so many ink marks with you. Let's talk about Qiao'er. When she first came here, she was quite autistic and locked herself in her room every day. I was still saying that Brother Shitou is better than Brother Shitou. Later, I had good words with the sisters in Qinglianlou, especially Chu Nuan. They had a very good relationship. Gradually, she came out of the shadows and began to talk to me and Chu Nuan. Get up for you."
Listening to his sister's behavior in the past six months, Qin Shi's heart ached, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What happened next? What happened to the great power of Xuan Palace?"
"Hey, at that time, she stayed in her room every day, and only occasionally went to the market with me and Chu Nuan. Chu Nuan was afraid that she would get sick by herself, so she taught her singing and dancing. You also know that she has a cold temperament, so every time The performance was always veiled, hence the name Qinglian Tower Masked Fairy."
"Isn't the Wumen auction coming soon? I heard that there is a seventh-level martial arts book this time, and all the four families except Xuan Palace and Shangguan family are attracted."
"Seven levels of martial arts?"
Qin Shi's black eyes flashed with light. This level of martial arts is rare in the entire Red Flame Empire. It is hard to find one in a thousand miles. It is known that there are only three copies in the royal family. The rest have not heard of it. There have been forces before, even the Burning Heaven Sect is no exception, no wonder it alarmed the people in Xuan Palace.
In response to the shout, Yinglian continued: "Well, at that time, an elder came from the Xuan Palace. His name was: Li Bufan. He was in the middle stage of the Xuanling Realm and was very powerful in the Xuan Palace."
"When he came to Qinglian City, he didn't know where he learned about the masked fairy, so he came here specifically to watch Qiao'er's singing and dancing, but he didn't expect that he wanted to forcefully sleep with Qiao'er. Qiao'er certainly wouldn't agree. As a result, the man was so angry that he made a scene in Qinglian Tower and seriously injured Qiaoer with a palm!"
"What? Qiaoer is injured?"
Hearing this, Qin Shi's black eyes pierced like sharp swords, and an invisible but real cold current spread throughout the boudoir, causing the remaining wine in the glass on the table to sway slightly.
boom!
It was the seemingly gentle ripples, but it contained terrifying momentum. A whirlpool formed in an instant. The wine glass was disintegrated and shattered from the inside, and water droplets shot out like thousands of arrows.
In panic, Yinglian's beautiful eyes were tense, and she quickly unfolded a light cyan barrier with her skillful hands. When the barrier came into contact with the water droplets, she felt a heartbreaking depression in her heart and spleen, like the bite of a corpse insect.
"So strong..."
Taking a few steps back, her heart beat violently.
She was at the peak of the King's Spiritual Realm, and some dignitaries often gave her precious treasures, so it was difficult for even some ordinary Mysterious Spiritual Realms to hurt her. But just now, Qin Shi's angry remnant of power actually knocked her back? It was even the latter who suppressed it deliberately, otherwise she would have been seriously injured.
What kind of terrifying existence is this
Moved, her eyes looked at Qin Shi with slight changes, and she was shocked in her heart: "No wonder someone as powerful as the Burning Sky Sect would suffer at his hands. If he had said it, he might really be able to save Qiao'er!"
Qin Shi noticed the blood on the corner of Yinglian's mouth. He quickly waved his sleeves and robe to dissipate the remaining power and said apologetically: "Sister Lian, I'm sorry, I was a little emotional. Didn't I hurt you?"
Yinglian moved away from the barrier and waved her clever hand: "I can understand your worries. After all, my beloved sister is very worried about her. To be honest, sending her to Wumen Auction House is also an expedient solution. I'll stay here." It’s really impossible to save her. If I hadn’t had some connections in Qinglian City over the years, I’m afraid this place would have been in ruins long ago, but we have not given up on her. My sisters and I have already discussed it, and we will gather all the spiritual stones and connect them to Qinglian Tower. I am also planning to sell it, I should be able to collect tens of thousands of spiritual stones, and then I can take back Jiang Qiaoer this afternoon, and we will leave here together."
Qin Shi frowned again when he heard the news. Then he couldn't help but laugh when he heard about the tens of thousands of spiritual stones. Tens of thousands of spiritual stones may be a treasure that ordinary people can't find in a lifetime, but they are really a drop in the bucket in the auction house.
But no matter what, this is the intention of Yinglian and others. They are all too ordinary women to be ordinary. It is not easy for Qiaoer to hide in such a situation.
For this reason, Qin Shi threw a grateful look at Yinglian and said: "With me here, there is no need to sell this Qinglian Building!"
After saying this, he turned over with one hand, and a box of ten thousand high-grade spiritual stones fell out of thin air into the boudoir. The strong and full spiritual power reflected a pale pink light on the wall, making it dazzling.
Yinglian opened her lips in shock under the flickering light and shadow, but when she was about to speak, Qin Shi had already turned into a black shadow and disappeared in the room, leaving only an echoing sound.
"Thank you very much, Sister Lian, for taking care of your sister in the past six months. It's disrespectful to be so petty. I will pick up Qiao'er in the afternoon and meet up with Sister Lian again!"
Listening to the lingering sound, staring at the box full of glittering high-grade spiritual stones, Yinglian's beautiful eyes flashed with joy, but there was no greed in this joy, but a kind of sustenance and expectation.
