Soon, the news of Qingyu Tower's election for a new courtesan spread throughout Longcheng.

All the men in Longcheng, from eighty years old to eight years old, could no longer contain their excitement and ran towards Longcheng, wanting to see who dared to challenge the recognized courtesan Xian'er.

At this time, Li Qing happened to arrive at the door of a store. Just as he was about to go in to buy something, he saw that the owner was about to close the store.

"Wait boss, I want to buy something!"

The boss acted very quickly. If Li Qing had arrived a step later, he would have closed the shop.

"Please hurry up and buy whatever you want, don't delay me!"

Li Qing entered the store, selected several things he wanted to buy, put them in front of the boss, and asked the boss to weigh them.

Unexpectedly, the boss was too lazy to even weigh it. He weighed it with his hand and said:

"Give me one or two ounces of silver!"

After hearing what the boss said, Li Qing was surprised. He took out a tael of silver from his pocket with some hesitation and handed it to the boss.

"Boss, will you be at a disadvantage if you pay one tael of silver?"

"It doesn't matter if I suffer a little loss. Now I have more important things to do!"

The boss quickly pocketed the silver, closed the shop, and ran towards the Qingyu Tower.

"Strange, has something happened to this boss? He can't even make any money?"

Li Qing was very confused about this.

But Li Qing didn't think much about it and continued walking towards the next house.

At this time, the Qingyu Tower was already crowded with people, and there were still a large number of people outside the Qingyu Tower who could not squeeze in.

Mother Yang asked someone to take out 500 signs from the warehouse and distribute them. The two sides of the signs were different colors, one side was red and the other side was blue.

"Everyone, today, Miss Long Jiu is challenging Miss Xian'er of my Qingyu Tower for the position of the most beautiful lady. The blue color represents Miss Long Jiu, and the red color represents Miss Xian'er. According to the rules of my Qingyu Tower, the most beautiful lady contestant has three items, namely playing the zither, singing, and dancing. The winner will win two out of three games, and the one who wins two out of three games will become the most beautiful lady."

"Please watch the performances of the two girls first, and then choose who you want to support based on your preferences. Someone in Qingyu Tower will be keeping track of the votes!"

After the people from Qingyu Tower distributed 500 signs to the 500 men sitting in the inner field, the election officially began.

First, Xian'er came up and danced for everyone, then she stepped back.

"I have to say, Miss Xian'er is indeed worthy of being the most beautiful lady. Even though I haven't seen her dance for a long time, she is still so graceful!"

Although Xian'er really wanted to give up her title of the most beautiful courtesan, she was still very serious and didn't give in at all.

"Next, please invite Miss Long Jiu to dance for everyone!"

As soon as Mother Yang finished speaking, Long Jiu walked onto the stage. When the music started, he relied on his extraordinary memory to repeat the dance that Xian'er had just performed. However, it was Long Jiu's first time after all, so naturally he did not dance as gracefully as Xian'er.

"Miss Long Jiu, did you skip this song?"

Mother Yang looked at Xian'er in confusion and asked, no matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like Long Jiu was dancing this dance for the first time!

“Never jumped before, today is the first time!”

This sentence had a different meaning when it reached the ears of the people below.

"You can jump like this on your first try? Miss Long Jiu is truly gifted!"

If this dance was not unique to Qingyu Tower, Mother Yang might not have believed what Long Jiu said.

"If this is really Miss Long Jiu's first time dancing, then Miss Long Jiu's dancing talent is limitless. After all, Xian'er has been immersed in it for many years. I think Miss Long Jiu wins this round!"

After hearing Mother Yang's question, the people below began to think about it. Some people thought that no matter what, Long Jiu's dance was not as beautiful as Xian'er's.

However, there are still a large number of people who have long been dissatisfied with Xian'er's behavior of selling her art but not her body. Now is the opportunity to change the courtesan, and they are more willing to give the new courtesan a chance.

"Now that you have seen the two girls' dance, please vote!"

Everyone raised their signs, and unexpectedly, Long Jiu won with an overwhelming advantage.

This result caught both Mother Yang and Xian'er off guard. They began to doubt whether this group of people could understand dancing. It was obvious that Xian'er danced better than Long Jiu, so why did Long Jiu win with an overwhelming advantage?

After seeing Long Jiu win with an overwhelming advantage, Xian'er felt happy but also worried.

She was happy that there seemed to be a real chance for her to be stripped of her title of oiran, but what worried her was that if Long Jiu was really elected as the oiran, how would she get out of it in the future?

"Second match, Qin!"

Just like before, Xian'er came up and played a song, which made everyone mesmerized.

Then Long Jiu came on stage and played the song again. Although his playing was not as beautiful as Xian'er's, this time, Xian'er won with a slight advantage.

"Now Miss Xian'er and Miss Long Jiu are tied at 1:1. This is the last match. Sing! Start!"

Following Mother Yang's order, Xian'er took the lead to go on stage and sang a song for everyone. Then she bowed to everyone, walked off the stage and sat down quietly.

Long Jiu came on stage. This time she did not sing the song that Long Jiu had sung before. Instead, she sang the song that Xian'er had sung to him and that Long Ba had repeated before.

Everyone was still fascinated by what they heard.

After the song was finished, Long Jiu did not bow to everyone like a fairy, but walked straight down and sat down.

At this time, the servants of Qingyu Tower began to count the votes.

At this time, Li Qing went to several shops in succession, but they were all closed. There were very few people on the street, most of them were women, all with resentment in their eyes.

"Humph, that damn Qingyu Tower is actually going to choose a new courtesan. I didn't like that Xian'er before, and now there's a new courtesan. If this new courtesan is really elected, and she doesn't sell her body like the previous courtesan who only sells her art, my wife will probably die in Qingyu Tower sooner or later!"

Li Qing was surprised after listening to the words of the women on both sides of the street.

"Qingyu Tower is holding an election for a new oiran? What did I miss?"

Li Qing was extremely regretful at this moment. Although he had no improper thoughts about the new or old courtesan, it did not affect his appreciation of the courtesan's performance!

After hearing this, Li Qing finally understood why these shops closed early and why the shop owners only charged him one or two taels of silver.

At the same time, he felt a little regretful. Why didn't he take more things at that time?

Li Qing quickly ran back towards Qingyu Tower.

Just as Li Qing was about to arrive at Qingyu Tower, he once again felt a sense of crisis.

He stopped immediately and looked in the direction where the sense of crisis from deep in his heart came from. In the distance, he saw a woman with a hat and a great figure walking towards him.

Li Qing immediately lowered his head, took out the hat he bought for Long Ba, and put it on his head.

On the other hand, Tushan Yaya also heard about the selection of the courtesan in Qingyu Tower. She learned from others that Qingyu Tower was a brothel, which reminded her of the time when she and Li Qing were visiting Yuezhi City. She asked Li Qing to take her to a brothel, but was rejected by Li Qing.

For a moment, the identity of Qingyu Tower as a brothel aroused her interest. She wanted to see what the place was like that Li Qing didn't take her to play with, so she walked towards the Qingyu Tower.

Suddenly, Yaya's heart beat faster, as if she was about to meet someone who excited her.

Yaya immediately looked around and began to search.

"This feeling must be the reincarnation of Li Qing!"

After Li Qing saw the person who made him feel a sense of crisis, he recognized her at a glance as the woman who had chased him hundreds of times in his dreams. Although the woman had covered her ears, Li Qing still recognized her at a glance.

Li Qing bent his body, lowered his head, and headed towards the Qingyu Tower.

Relying on his extraordinary strength, Li Qing easily broke through the crowd and entered the Qingyu Tower, leaving behind only bursts of curses.

"Who the hell squeezed me?"

"Who pushed me out of the way?"

Yaya saw a hunched figure disappear into the crowd.

As soon as her eyes met Li Qing's back, her heartbeat quickened again, making her certain that the man was the one she was looking for.

So, Yaya also squeezed into the crowd. The difference between her and Li Qing was that Yaya was much more domineering than Li Qing. Li Qing always moved people away and entered the Qingyu Tower without making a fuss.

Yaya circulated the internal energy in her body, forming a natural barrier at her side, which directly bounced the crowd away and prevented them from getting close to her at all. She walked towards the Qingyu Tower.

"Who the hell......"

When they found that their bodies were moving again, they were ready to speak sweet words again, but when they turned around, they found that an invisible barrier separated them from a beautiful woman, so they shut their mouths wisely.

They were not stupid. They knew from this strange vision that this man was definitely not someone they could afford to offend.

Li Qing pushed his way inside and soon squeezed into a corner. However, the sense of crisis in his heart did not ease, but even became more serious.

Li Qing hid in the crowd and looked towards where Yaya was. He saw Yaya standing in the crowd, and the people around her were keeping a distance from her.

"That woman looks pretty, but I don't know why at the end of my dreams, she always chases me with a sword. I don't want to be chased by her with a sword like in my dreams!"

Li Qing quickly dispelled the thought that had just arisen in his heart. He didn't want to gamble with his life.

At this time, the election for the oiran has reached its final part, and the votes for the last round of competition are being counted.

In the last round of competition, whether it was because everyone felt guilty or it was intentional, the votes between the two were almost the same.

Soon, the servant handed the statistical results to Mother Yang. Mother Yang looked at the statistical results in her hand and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her inner excitement and said:

"In the last round of voting, Miss Xian'er received 235 votes, Miss Long Jiu received 245 votes, and 20 votes abstained! I declare that the winner is Miss Long Jiu. Miss Long Jiu succeeded in her challenge and will become the new oiran of my Qingyu Tower!"

"Haha! I hope the new oiran can understand that who becomes the new oiran is decided by us. Whoever we choose to be the oiran will be the oiran!"

A man below heard what Mother Yang said, sneered, and said to the people around him.

There were bursts of deafening noises from below.

"who???"

After hearing what Mother Yang said, Li Qing looked towards the stage in shock, looking at Long Jiu who was sitting side by side with Xian'er in disbelief.

"What the hell is Long Jiu doing? Did she run to compete for the title of Oiran? And she won the title!"

Li Qing never thought that the person running for the top courtesan would be Long Jiu. What he didn't expect was that Long Jiu actually won the election and became the new top courtesan.

"What on earth is this guy doing? What is Long Ba doing? She just watched Long Jiu compete for the oiran and didn't stop him? Does she understand what oiran means?"

Li Qing suspected that Long Jiu had no idea what the oiran meant, nor did he know how he would be treated after becoming one.

Li Qing watched as Mother Yang put the flower crown, which symbolized the courtesan of Qingyu Tower, on Long Jiu's head, and a smug smile appeared on Long Jiu's face.

"Long Ba, Long Ba, is this how you take care of your sister?"

Li Qing saw everything and felt helpless.

"I'll pay one hundred taels to spend the night with the new oiran!"

As soon as Long Jiu was chosen as the courtesan, someone immediately made a bid, and the bid was not low.

After all, Long Jiu is the new oiran. Mother Yang came to Long Jiu, looked at him and asked:

"Miss Long Jiu, someone is offering a hundred taels, do you want it?"

Long Jiu shook her head firmly to express her refusal. She said that she was chosen as the courtesan only because Li Qing admired her very much. She just wanted to tell Li Qing the news that she was also the courtesan so that Li Qing would not look down on her.

I never thought about spending the night with others.

"You think you can afford one hundred taels? I'll give you three hundred taels!!!"

At this time, another voice came from below, which was very generous and directly tripled the previous man's bid.

Li Qing looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was an acquaintance, the boss who had only charged him one or two taels of silver before.

"Damn profiteer, I thought you only sold it to me for one or two taels of silver because you felt guilty, but I didn't expect you wanted to sleep with Xiaojiu!"

Li Qing looked at the shop owner with hatred.

"Five hundred taels!!!"

“Seven hundred taels!!”

“One thousand taels!!”

Soon, the bid reached one thousand taels, which was basically the highest. Even if those people were really rich, they would not bid more than one thousand taels. After all, paying more than one thousand taels just to sleep with Long Jiu for a night was really not worth it.

"One thousand taels once! One thousand taels twice!"

Just as Mother Yang was about to strike the hammer with a smile on her face, another voice sounded from below:

"One thousand five hundred taels!!!"

When Mother Yang heard the offer, her mouth almost stretched to her ears.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Qing with his head buried and his arms stretched out.

"One thousand five hundred taels for once, one thousand five hundred taels for twice, one thousand five hundred taels for three times. Congratulations to this gentleman for winning Miss Long Jiu's first night together with him for one thousand five hundred taels!"

Mother Yang was very excited. It turned out that it was easier to make money from men.

"Huh? I finally found you!!!"

Yaya saw Li Qing stretching out his hand and burying his head, a smile appeared on her face and she said happily.
