The First Venerable of the Prosperous Age

When Chang'an saw him fall, his calm face was instantly clouded with gloom.

He rushed to Lu Xiaosan's side, calling out, "Big brother, big brother!" After shaking him a few times, Lu Xiaosan convulsed even more violently, with that eerie smile still lingering on his face.

Fu Rou gently removed the crumpled paper from her mouth, turned around seductively, and revealed her most skillful fake smile: "My lords, I'm really sorry tonight."

She smiled at the two children and continued, "These two young men are new servants. They were very careless on their way back and disturbed the enjoyment of you gentlemen. I apologize on their behalf."

“We are not servants,” Chang’an said, his face showing anger, but his tone was very calm.

Seeing that the fierce Lu Xiaosan was no longer a threat, the nobles returned to their usual arrogant demeanor. They had the girls straighten their clothes, then covered their noses and swaggered out from the corner.

A young man in white robes walked up to Fu Rou and said lecherously, "Miss Fu Rou, since you are a servant in your building, well, hehe, I... we won't pursue the matter." As he spoke, he would occasionally glance at the half-revealed area of ​​Fu Rou's chest.

Fu Rou wasn't angry. She smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your understanding, Young Master Li."

Lu Xiaosan lay on the ground, his muscles aching and numb as if they were bound together. Even so, he still struggled to raise his head and say to the young master, "You...you...you're the...you're the servant!"

When Chang'an heard him speak, she asked, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Lu Xiaosan was fine when he didn't speak, but when he forced himself to speak, his chest felt like it was going to explode. He immediately foamed at the mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out again.

Chang'an was extremely anxious, trembling all over, his clothes soaked with cold sweat. "Big brother! Big brother! Don't scare me, big brother!"

Young Master Li chuckled to himself as he looked at the two children, then cupped his hands in greeting to Fu Rou, saying, "Miss Fu Rou, since you still have matters to attend to in your building, I shall take my leave now."

Fu Rou returned the greeting, saying, "Please take care, young master."

Yu Lei called out from the stage, "Remember to come visit often!"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Li turned around and gave him a smile. Only after he forced himself to leave the Zhexian Tower did he open his mouth wide and desperately breathe in the fresh air.

Once Young Master Li took the lead, the other young masters and officials also began to bid farewell to the girls with reluctance, and one by one they pinched their noses and hurriedly left.

These distinguished guests were unwilling to leave, but unfortunately, the Zhexianlou Restaurant was now filled with a foul stench, and the fragrance of wine had long since vanished.

After they left, only Lu Chang and his companion, along with the girls who had been accompanying them, remained in the building.

Surrounded by flowers, Chang'an only had eyes for Lu Xiaosan, who reeked of stench.

Seeing that Lu Xiaosan was on the verge of death, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and his eyes filled with tears.

Just then, he saw a bright red color slowly approaching him, followed by an enticing fragrance that emerged from the stench.

In a daze, a slender, snow-white hand was already in front of him. He felt his chin being gently lifted. When he looked up, he saw Fu Rou's slightly flushed, alluring face, half gentle and half fragrant.

At that moment, she was leaning over him, her red dress trailing behind her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look how much my little darling has cried, his eyes are all swollen. It would be such a waste if they got swollen." She said, and went to wipe away his tears.

Chang'an gently lowered her hand, his eyes red and somewhat angry, "What did you do to my grandfather and elder brother?"

This was the first time Fu Rou had been rejected by a man, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

She turned and smiled, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't do anything?" As soon as she finished speaking, the girls covered their noses and crowded around her.

"Judging from the fact that this monk's body is covered in unhealed wounds, he must have been infected by an evil spirit."

"That's right, how can this be blamed on Sister Furou?"

"Is this evil wind contagious?"

"Ugh! It's better to stay away from him."

A group of stunningly beautiful young women in the prime of their lives surrounded Chang'an.

Although Chang'an felt nothing in his heart, he couldn't help but blush amidst the various fragrances of rouge and body powder.

"Look, he's blushing! He's blushing!"

"Haha, it looks so good, it's so cute!"

"He must have blushed when he saw me."

"Hmph, give me a break. If anyone's going to see you, it'll be Sister Furou. You're not even in the running."

"By the way, young master, what's your name?"

Chang'an did not answer, but continued to look at Lu Xiaosan, who had fallen to the ground, with concern.

"This document, 'The person below the Immortal Pavilion'... name... Xiao Mei,' um, the other one, also 'The person below the Immortal Pavilion'... Clown..." Fu Rou looked at the two crumpled pieces of paper in her hand, then smiled at Chang An and said, "Which one is you? Xiao Mei, um?"

"Xiao Mei, that sounds like a girl's name. Looks like she was tricked into coming here again. Poor thing," a girl said.

"They must be two illiterate people again, otherwise how could they be so easily fooled?"

"These two names actually suit them quite well, hehehe."

"Master...Master...Master calls...uh..." Lu Xiaosan suddenly woke up, and was speaking weakly when someone kicked him on the head. At the same time, he heard the girl say, "Shut up! You smell so bad, why are you still talking?"

"Don't hit him!" When Chang'an saw Lu Xiaosan being beaten, he knelt down in front of him to protect him.

The kick to the head knocked Lu Xiaosan's straw hat aside, and the blue pearl rolled to Fu Rou's feet.

Fu Rou picked up the blue fluorescent bead and examined it closely. "Now I understand why I lied to them both."

"Where did all this noise come from? It's so annoying." A woman's voice suddenly came from the second floor. It turned out to be a woman in a purple dress yawning and fanning herself as she came down from the second floor.

Upon seeing this woman, Lianxue on the stage said, "Sister Furou, we're a little tired and would like to go back to our rooms to rest..."

Fu Rou seemed even more anxious than Lian Xue herself. "Quickly, you sisters should go back and rest." She thought to herself, "It would be terrible if we ruined our health by working these two money-making machines."

"Yes." Lianxue smiled and bowed.

"Sister, aren't you going to watch the excitement a little longer? Hey, hey, hey." Yu Lei was forcibly pulled back into the room by Lian Xue.

"Hmph, we're all in the same line of work, but she's just so pretentious," the alluring woman on the stairs sneered.

She walked downstairs with a seductive air, and it was revealed that she was in her thirties, a voluptuous beauty with her breasts half-exposed, her clothes disheveled, her spring scenery just beginning to show, and some beads of sweat glistening on her snow-white skin.

"Sister Liu Rao, you're dressed like this even though there's a child here."

Liu Rao tossed her hair aside. "Tch, why are you putting on airs like those two? We make a living this way, and besides, kids have to grow up eventually."

Liu Rao took two more steps, then suddenly covered her nose and said angrily, "Fu Rou, what is that? It stinks!"

"The one that smells bad must be a treasure. Do you want to take a look? If you like it, I'll give it to you," Fu Rou teased.

"Hmph, what a joke. When have I, Liu Rao, ever lacked treasures?" With that, she covered her nose and stepped forward to examine the treasure.

Fu Rou removed the extremely smelly string of Buddhist beads from her straw hat and showed it to Liu Rao.

"Hmph, I thought it was something else... Oh! This young man is so handsome, let your sister take a look." Chang'an ignored him and continued to protect Lu Xiaosan.

"Come on, let me... ugh..." Liu Rao got excited and let go of her nose, and a foul smell hit her face.

Liu Rao waved her hand and quickly took a few steps back. "Cough cough cough, I can't take it anymore, I need to go take another shower." After saying that, she went upstairs again, fanning herself. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

"What's with the attitude? Do you think you're the top courtesan?" a girl said irritably.

“That’s right, look how old she is, and she’s still bullying people all the time…” The girl lowered her head and stopped talking when she saw Fu Rou give her a look.

Fu Rou then carefully examined the blue fluorescent bead in her hand.

"Sister Furou, what are these blue beads? Are they treasures?"

"Whether it's a treasure or not depends on who has it, don't you think? Xiaomei, hmm?"

"Give it to me!" Chang'an reached out to grab it, but Fu Rou easily dodged it with a gentle movement.

Chang'an tried to grab it once, but failed. He tried several more times, but all to no avail.

Fu Rou smiled and deliberately dodged away just as he was about to grab her, intentionally trying to annoy him.

The girls watched the spectacle with laughter and chatter, surrounded by a sea of ​​beautiful women. Any ordinary man caught in this situation would naturally become infatuated and smitten, drawn to the allure of the sights and sounds.

But at this moment, Chang'an's eyes glowed blue, and the blue fluorescent bead in Fu Rou's hand seemed to sense his feelings, its bright blue light also bursting forth.
