Return of the Phoenix Lady

Liu Hexian arrived alone at the now-famous brothel, Mei Ye Lou. After his first visit, he finally understood why Mei Ye Lou had overtaken the entrenched Xihun Lou in just a few years. It lacked the vulgarity of Xihun Lou's worldly atmosphere, instead embodying a fresh and elegant feel. Although both brothels were worldly, Xihun Lou seemed more worldly, while Mei Ye Lou was elegant. The women inside were even more different. While the women at Xihun Lou were all bare-breasted and unrestrained, the women here were all different: some were ethereal and graceful, some were bold and uninhibited, and some were petite and charming. There was everything you could imagine, and nothing could be found. It was truly special. Liu Hexian began to admire the owner of Mei Ye Lou.

"Prime Minister Liu, you are so honored to have come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar." When Liu Hexian was admiring the surrounding scenery, a petite and cute girl came up to him and said with a smile.

Liu Hexian was secretly shocked. He had never been here before. How did this little girl know his identity?

Seeing Liu Hexian remained silent, the pretty girl smiled softly and said, "Prime Minister Liu, don't be surprised. The master has specially trained us to get to know dignitaries from various countries. If they come one day, we will be prepared and entertain them well."

I see. I didn’t expect that this brothel could also cultivate the ability to judge people. It’s really extraordinary!

The girl continued, "Prime Minister Liu, this is your first time here! If you have any needs, please let us know. We will definitely satisfy you!"

"Mei Ye!" Liu Hexian uttered the two words coldly with an arrogant attitude.

The pretty girl didn't get annoyed by such a cold attitude, and continued to speak in a good-tempered manner, "So Prime Minister Liu has chosen our Sister Mei Ye! But Sister is resting now! Can I go and tell her?"

Liu Hexian nodded slightly. He didn't care whether Mei Ye was willing to see him or not. He had to see her today. If she didn't want to, he would just break in.

The pretty girl said again: "Then please ask Prime Minister Liu to wait in the side room first." After that, she led Liu Hexian upstairs.

Ying Jue, oh Ying Jue, why are you so stubborn? Is it so hard to accept me? Mei Ye thought with some anger and grievance. She had thought about the advice given by the young master, but she didn't expect Ying Jue to be so heartless. He would rather take a cold shower than be with her... What should she do?

"Knock, knock, knock!" A knock on the door interrupted Mei Ye's melancholy. After sorting out his emotions, Mei Ye lazily said, "Come in."

As soon as Jiaoyun entered the room, she saw an alluring scene. Her master was lazily lying on the chaise longue, with her eyes half-closed and her clothes a little messy. She looked so charming that even she, as a woman, had the urge to pounce on her, let alone a man.

"You're drooling." The beauty said lightly, but even her voice was extremely charming.

Jiao Yun wiped the corner of her mouth in a daze before reacting and said in a delicate voice, "Sister lied to me again!"

"Silly girl!" Mei Ye smiled softly and shook her head in disbelief. This little girl, in front of outsiders, appeared smart and capable, but only in front of her would she reveal the playful and cute nature of a 17-year-old girl.

"Sister, you are getting more and more beautiful. Look at your smile, you almost bewitched my soul. I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry a beautiful woman like you in the future." Jiaoyun praised without any reservation, her eyes full of envy, admiration and love.

Mei Ye remained silent, lowered his eyes, hiding the gloom and sadness in them.

When she opened her eyes again, only indifference remained, and she said, "What do you want to see me about?"

Jiao Yun, who hadn't noticed these changes at all, smiled and said, "Sister, your fame has spread far and wide. Even Prime Minister Liu from Mu Country has come here because of your reputation."

"Prime Minister Liu from Mu Kingdom? Are you talking about Liu Hexian?" Mei Ye asked in surprise. It was strange. How could Liu Hexian, who loved his third wife so much, hire a prostitute?

"Yes! He's waiting in the wing room now! Do you want to see him, sister?"

"Meet! Of course I have to!" This is the young master's enemy! Let's see what he wants to do next.

Liu Hexian sat upright on a high chair with his eyes closed. Suddenly, the door opened, and he opened his sharp eyes. A pretty woman walked in, holding a cup of tea. Is this Mei Ye? She is far less alluring than the rumors say. Before Liu Hexian could finish his complaints, another woman walked in with lotus steps. Liu Hexian took a closer look and realized that this was the real Mei Ye. It was just as the rumors said. No! In person, she was even more beautiful and charming than the rumors described, even more beautiful than Mei Ruo in her youth.

"Is Prime Minister Liu satisfied with what you see?" A soft and charming voice came from the slightly opened cherry lips. Seeing that Liu Hexian was looking at her in a daze, disdain flashed in his eyes.

Liu Hexian quickly came back to his senses, curled his lips slightly, revealing a rare smile, and said, "Miss Mei Ye is indeed better than hearing about her. Meeting her in person has broadened my horizons."

"Hehe~" A charming laugh sounded, and she said, "Prime Minister Liu, you are too polite. However, Mei Ye has something unclear. I would like to ask Prime Minister Liu for your guidance."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Mei Ye heard that Prime Minister Liu loves his wives and concubines. Why did he come here today?" Mei Ye chuckled.

"There is indeed an important matter today. I heard that in order to contact the Soul-Stealing Demon, one must come to Mei Ye Tower. Is this true?" Liu Hexian did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Haha! Yes, it's true!" Mei Ye also said directly. Those who want to find the Soul-Stealing Demon are just here to commit murder and arson. She wants to see who has offended Liu Hexian again.

"I want to see them!" Liu Hexian said in a commanding tone.

"Okay, then please wait for a moment, Prime Minister Liu. Mei Ye will go and invite someone over right away." Mei Ye didn't care and left after saying that.

Mei Ye came to the underground Soul Stealer through the secret passage of her boudoir.

As soon as I arrived here, I thought of the stubbornness of that piece of dead wood, calmed down a little, and came to the main hall through the heavily guarded passage as if it were an empty place.

"Miss Mei Ye!" Everyone in the main hall shouted.

"Well, where are they?" Mei Ye glanced around and said.

"To answer you, young lady, the master is practicing in the back hall." A man who seemed to be in a higher position said respectfully.

Mei Ye nodded and turned to go to the back hall.

After the beauty left, the quiet main hall began to discuss again, "Boss, what is the relationship between Miss Mei Ye and the master?" "Yes! I think they are probably having an affair!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Are you all too idle? Well then! Let's go to training!" The man called the boss said coldly amid the gossip, causing constant complaints.

apse

Mei Ye looked at the cold and sweaty man with almost greed. After a while, he slowly walked forward and said lazily, "Someone is looking for you!"

Ying Jue finally stopped. In fact, he had known it since the moment Mei Ye came here, but they both needed time to calm the turbulent waves in their hearts.

"Who?" Ying Jue sheathed his sword and said coldly with his back to Mei Ye.

Mei Ye looked at the man with his back to her, feeling bitter in her heart. With her looks and talents, she could have any man she wanted and any man she liked. Why did she fall in love with such a heartless man who always made her sad?

"Liu Hexian." Mei Ye said lightly.

Ying Jue then turned around, but without even looking at Mei Ye, he left.

Mei Ye just stood there alone in a daze. After a while, a tear ran across the corner of her eye and disappeared into the dust.
