Return of the Phoenix Lady

Chapter 18: Encounter at a Brothel

Two years later

Two years wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. Han Xing's cultivation had advanced another level. She was now a rank 6 advanced magician and a rank 2 advanced warrior. This speed still made Mo Qingyuan call her a "genius," considering it took most people two or three years to advance to the next level. When Mo Qingyuan learned that Han Xing had obtained a divine beast, he fainted from sheer joy. Upon waking, he complained repeatedly about why he didn't have Han Xing's good luck! His resentful eyes seemed to be about to shoot a hole through Han Xing's body.

Liu Hanyun also moved into Lanxiangyuan two years ago. He is now 10 years old and is old enough to go to college, but because he has no interest in practicing and his talent is not high, Liu Hexian leaves him at home and does not take care of him.

They also found out a little about Sihe's death. Originally, Sihe had just suffered from typhoid fever, but the doctor added a chronic poison to the medicine prescribed for her. Later, Han Xing went to question the doctor alone and finally learned that it was the housekeeper's order. However, Han Xing felt that the real mastermind was not him. The housekeeper and Sihe had no grudges in the past and had no reason to harm her, so it must be someone who instructed him to do it. In fact, Han Xing already had someone in mind, but she had no evidence, and she couldn't do anything to her now, so she had to let her go for a while.

"It's so boring! Brother Yun, I'm really bored!" Han Xing complained to Liu Hanyun.

"Xing'er, you have said this no less than a hundred times today." Liu Hanyun looked at Han Xing helplessly.

"Then I'm really bored!" Han Xing's dark eyes turned, "Brother Yun, let's go out and play!"

"This...you and I are just ordinary people. If we run into a cultivator, wouldn't we be in great danger?"

"It's okay! Brother Yun, don't worry, I won't provoke those people, just promise me!" Han Xing pulled Liu Hanyun's sleeve pitifully and begged.

"Well... okay! But we have to come back early." Liu Hanyun couldn't resist Han Xing's pleading.

"Oh! Brother Yun is the best! Haha!" Han Xing happily kissed Liu Hanyun on the face, making Liu Hanyun blush.

At the market

"Brother Yun, I want to eat this!"

"Brother Yun, I want to eat that!"

"Brother Yun, I want this!"

The familiar scene reminded Han Xing of Liu Hanyang. Back then, she had been naughty and asked for this and that. She wondered how he was doing at the Five Nations Academy now. Although he sent her letters every month, updating her on his situation, she still missed him terribly...

"Sir~ Sir~ I miss you so much!"

"Master~Where have you been? Hong'er missed you so much!"

"Uncle, come in quickly! Haha, Chun'er and Qiu'er are waiting for you!"

Huh? Is this a brothel from another world? So fun! Haha!

Han Xing pulled Liu Hanyun towards the Ecstasy Tower. Liu Hanyun saw Han Xing's intention and quickly stopped, saying, "Xing'er, what are you doing? Do you know where that is? Stop fooling around. Let's go. This isn't the place for us..."

"Oh~ Young gentlemen, don't go! Haha... You are here for our love too! Don't be shy, it's okay, I understand!" A middle-aged woman in bright clothes and gorgeous clothes walked over at the door with a plump waist. Looking at the good-looking brothers, especially the younger brother, if he was dressed in women's clothes, I am afraid he would not be able to match her love. Thinking of this, the madam couldn't help but feel lucky that he was a man.

"Yes, yes! Madam, my brother and I are here just to meet Miss Qinglian, haha..." Han Xing smiled ambiguously.

"In that case, please come in! Qing'er, Shi'er..." The madam was about to call someone to serve.

Han Xing interrupted, "No need. We came here today just for Miss Qinglian. If she knew that we were eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, it would lead to misunderstanding! Just give us a room upstairs with a good view." After that, he threw out a silver coin.

The madam took the silver coin with shining eyes and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes! Young Master is right! Is it that I didn't think it through, or is it that you are so smart! Hehe... Qing'er, come on! Take the young masters upstairs!"

"Yes, sir, please!"

After Qing'er left, Han Xing spoke, "Oh! Brother Yun, please don't be so bossy! Now that we are here, let's take a good look at what Qinglian looks like and broaden our horizons! Otherwise, if one day you go out and people discuss Qinglian with you, but you have never even seen her, it would be so embarrassing! Right! Haha..." Han Xing smiled ingratiatingly.

"Next time! Humph... I will definitely not come out next time!" Liu Hanyun said with a deliberately stern face.

"Brother Yun, please don't be like this! Xing'er won't do anything, she just came to see me! Don't be angry! Being angry will give you wrinkles! You'll become ugly!"

Liu Hanyun was amused by Han Xing and sighed helplessly, "Ah... you are really getting more and more naughty. Forget it, I won't do it again!"

Han Xing then smiled happily. Liu Hanyun looked at this smile and suddenly felt that he could sacrifice everything to keep this smile.

"Madam! Let Qinglian come out! Quickly! I can pay whatever it costs!"

"Yes! Madam, we've been waiting for so long, please let Miss Qinglian come out!"

"Madam, I won't leave until I see Qinglian today!"

The madam looked at the lively scene, squinting her eyes and laughing, "Haha... It's not up to me to decide whether you can see her or not! It's up to our Qinglian! We Qinglian like talented gentlemen, and we don't want money, so today Qinglian will give you a few questions to test you. If you answer all the questions correctly, you can see Qinglian! I wish you all a smooth journey to see Qinglian."

"Haha! This Qinglian is really interesting! It even asks a question. Brother Yun, do you want to see Qinglian? If you want, Xing'er will definitely let you see her. What do you think?" Han Xing said arrogantly.

"Oh...really? Then Brother Yun will have to wait and see." In fact, Liu Hanyun just wanted to see Han Xing's excited look.

"Hello everyone! I'm Xiaoyu, Miss Qinglian's maid. Miss Qinglian has asked me to give you three questions. If you answer them all correctly, you can see her. Here's the first question: guess a riddle. The riddle is "without beginning or end." Please guess an idiom. I'll give you one stick of incense to think about it. Once you've thought it through, please write your answer on a piece of paper and give it to Xiaoyu."

"Brother Yun, have you figured out the answer?" Han Xing knew the answer as soon as he heard the riddle.

"Well... not yet. Could it be that Xing'er has figured it out?" Liu Hanyun thought about it for a while but still didn't know.

"Hehe..." Han Xing smiled mysteriously, took a piece of paper and wrote four words on it.

"Qing'er, come in! Give this to Xiaoyu!" "Yes!" Qing'er took the paper and went out. At the same time, a piece of paper flew out from the room on the other side of Hanxing and landed in front of Xiaoyu.

"Xing'er, what is it? Tell me quickly!"

"Silly brother, this is unprecedented!"

After half a stick of incense

"Okay, time is up. A total of 21 gentlemen have answered correctly. This answer is unprecedented. The next question is for these 21 gentlemen to write a poem for the young lady. The time limit is one stick of incense."

Han Xing wrote on the white paper:

There is a beautiful woman in the Wood Country, who is peerless and independent.

Regardless of the city, consider the country.

Would you rather not know how to captivate a city and a country? It is hard to find a beautiful woman again!

"What a great poem! What a great poem! Xing'er, you are so smart! Haha!"

Han Xing felt a little embarrassed when being praised, after all, it was not his doing!

After a stick of incense

"Time is up. Eight gentlemen have passed this time. For the final round, please draw a portrait of the young lady. There is no time limit. Once you have finished your portrait, please give it to Xiaoyu, who will review it for the young lady. If the young lady is satisfied, you will pass."

"How...how can we draw this? We haven't even met Miss Qinglian!"

"Just paint the lady the way you want her to be."

"Qing'er, go get some coal!" "Yes!"

"Xing'er, what do you want the carbon for?" "Just watch! Hehe..."

Ten minutes later, Han Xing handed over the sketch. There are no sketches in this alien world! Haha!

After a while, Xiaoyu knocked on the door. "Master, congratulations! Miss invites you over! Please follow me!"

After Han Xing and Liu Hanyun went out, they saw two more people behind Xiaoyu, one was about the same age as Han Xing, and the other was about 20 years old.

One look at these two people and you know that the younger one is the master and the older one is the servant.

Han Xing first spoke to the boy who looked about the same age as him: "Hello! My name is Xinghan, and this is my brother, Liu Yun. How about you?"

The boy glanced at Han Xing and said, "Juetian!"

"Oh...haha! You are also someone who has passed all three levels!" Han Xing looked at Juetian with a smile.

"Hmm!" Juetian's face turned a little red when Han Xing looked at him.

"Haha! You're so smart! So amazing!"

"Let's go!" Juetian felt a little embarrassed. He also felt strange. Usually, he was very calm when those old men praised him. Why was he different today when he was praised by this cute little boy in front of him?

Although we have been separated for a long time, that lovely figure still often flashes before my eyes.

"Your Highness, the Queen is calling you over!" The maid's voice interrupted Juetian who was lost in thought.

"Oh..." Hiding the nostalgia in his eyes, he warned himself: Now is not the time... not yet...
