The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

In other words, there is a female owner in this brothel.

This is the starting village for the male protagonist, Ye Feng, so it's not surprising that there's a female protagonist here.

But it's quite strange that the female lead is actually a courtesan.

With a few days left until August 10th, Su Qi felt it necessary to scout out the location and see who this female lead was.

As soon as I stepped into Tianxiang Pavilion, someone came to greet me.

"Oh, why is this guest covering his face? If you do that, you'll pique the curiosity of the ladies of Tianxiang Pavilion."

"Ahem... I'm very picky, the girls from your Tianxiang Pavilion might not be to my liking!"

Su Qi tried to make his voice deeper, but the deliberately contrived voice gave the impression of trying to cover up the truth.

The women surrounding Su Qi exchanged glances, all with expressions of sudden realization.

The head madam, who was leading the welcoming party, covered her face with a fan and teased with a coquettish smile: "Miss, you don't really need to do that. Our Tianxiang Pavilion also caters to female guests."

"I really am a man!" Su Qi seemed to understand why the original owner didn't like to go out. Even if he covered his face, people would still think he was a girl.

"Yes, yes, girls, who's going to serve this old man?"

Su Qi was speechless and too lazy to explain, so he took out a spirit stone.

"I want the best girl among you!"

The madam's eyes lit up instantly. They made money here, but that didn't stop them from knowing how precious spirit stones were.

"Oh, so you're a distinguished guest!"

Seeing Su Qi's small, delicate hands, she became even more certain that Su Qi was a girl.

He reached out to take the spirit stone, but Su Qi dodged it.

"Let me see the girl first. If she doesn't satisfy me..."

He didn't continue speaking, but had someone lead him to the best private room to wait.

A moment later, the madam led a group of girls in. Su Qi glanced at them and frowned.

The female protagonist, who possesses a lucky aura, is not among these people.

"That's all?"

"Honored guest, this is already the best girl in our Tianxiang Pavilion."

Su Qi ignored the madam, walked out of the private room and looked in the direction of the pillar of fortune, which was a room on the top floor.

Who is staying in that room?

The madam's face stiffened for a moment, then she giggled and said, "I didn't expect that even this couldn't keep it from our esteemed guest. The lady above is our Tianxiang Pavilion's newest courtesan. She doesn't plan to entertain guests, but will be auctioning off her at the pavilion in a few days, on August 10th. If you're interested, you can come and support her on August 10th."

It's August 10th again!

Su Qi had already sensed something was amiss.

In a world of cultivation, a female protagonist falls into prostitution; it would be a shame if she didn't have some kind of story to tell about her experience.

"How about I meet her?" Su Qi took out a spirit stone.

“I didn’t mean to force her to take clients. Rather, I had a feeling that we were destined to be together and wanted to figure out where this connection came from.”

"This..." The madam hesitated.

Seeing her like this, Su Qi became even more certain that something must have happened.

The madam could have obtained the priceless spirit stone simply by meeting it once, but she was in a dilemma.

This shows that she couldn't control the courtesan; she couldn't even make the decision to let her meet a guest.

"This is Tianfu Ancient City. Does the boss think I'm going to steal people?" Su Qi took out another spirit stone.

Merchants doing business in the ancient city are required to pay taxes to the city lord's mansion.

Having received the money, the city lord's mansion naturally had to ensure they received a good environment.

Not just anyone can become the lord of an ancient city. The lords of the 36 ancient capitals were all people sent down from the Central Plains Holy Land.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't dare to run wild in the ancient city.

"Well... I'll go ask her if she's willing first." The madam was clearly tempted, but didn't dare to make a decision on her own.

"and many more!"

As the madam turned around, Su Qi took out the scroll.

"I obtained this blank scroll by chance. It is said that only those with a special destiny can see the words on it. If the courtesan does not wish to see it, please ask the owner to let her take a look at the scroll. After she has seen it, whether she sees it or not, this spirit stone will be yours."

After saying that, he gave the scroll and spirit stones to the madam.

"Oh my, what a generous guest!" The madam's mouth was practically stretched to her ears as she quickly took the scroll and spirit stones and hurried upstairs.

Logically speaking, since Su Qi has been so deliberately mysterious, the other party should have met him out of curiosity.

Surprisingly, she still refused.

The madam returned with a look of utter despair, as if she had lost hundreds of millions.

"Honored guest, it seems I have no chance of earning your spirit stones!"

He handed the scroll back with a pained expression.

Did she read the scroll?

Su Qi took the question and asked.

"I looked at it, but I didn't see any words on it."

As soon as the madam finished speaking, she realized she had let something slip.

The word “也” reveals that she also looked at the scroll.

Su Qi didn't care, but he thought of something.

Now that the courtesan has touched the scroll, and then the madam has touched it, will the courtesan's information be overwritten by the madam's information?

What if it gets covered up? Wouldn't all my spirit stones be wasted?

It shouldn't be that bad; judging from what I've seen before, this scroll seems quite intelligent.

"You can go out now, I don't need to entertain you."

After driving the people away, Su Qi couldn't wait to open the scroll.

My name is Meng Yu, and I'm the madam of Tianxiang Pavilion...

Gan!

Su Qi was about to smash the scroll on the ground and stomp on it, but luckily he saw it in time; there was another person's information below.

My name is Ning Hongyu, originally Chu Bijun. I was a princess of the Chu Kingdom. After my country fell, I and a group of soldiers fought our way out and survived.

[The State of Chu was destroyed. As a member of the royal family, I should have fought the enemy to the death. But before the country fell, my father passed the throne of Chu to me, so that I might preserve my life and one day restore the State of Chu.]

I joined forces with the nobles of the other five kingdoms to form the "Old Kings" organization, preparing to jointly overthrow the Tyrannical Spirit.

[After years of patient waiting, I've finally got my chance. According to my scouts, the Western Regions Demon Clan has invaded, and the Great Spirit Empress Ying Muxue was severely injured while leading the campaign. She urgently needs a female cultivator with a pure Yin constitution to save her life, and I happen to possess that constitution.]

I learned that the Great Spirit God of War, Bai Luo, was searching for a pure Yin physique for Ying Muxue in the ancient capital of Tianfu. So, I took advantage of the situation and interfered with someone's plan, causing the courtesan of Tianxiang Pavilion to die a violent death, and then used the opportunity to become the new courtesan of Tianxiang Pavilion...

Ok?

That’s all?

No wonder this courtesan didn't fancy my spirit stone; she's another princess from a fallen kingdom.

Moreover, she appears to be a rather wealthy princess of a fallen kingdom, and she actually formed a rebellion with other nobles from the fallen kingdom.

Moreover, she was quite willing to invest, even personally getting involved.

Su Qi could roughly guess her next plan.

Now that the Southern Region has been initially settled, the remnants of the six kingdoms are restless and eager to make a move. It is only thanks to Empress Ying Muxue that the remnants of the six kingdoms dare not act.

If Ying Muxue dies and the empress has no children, then the other members of the Ying royal family will inevitably fight for the throne, and the Southern Region will be thrown into chaos.

At that time, the remnants of the six kingdoms will seize the opportunity to rise up and overthrow the Great Ling Dynasty.
