Confined to one's home at the start, studied for ten years, and became a saint and ancestor.

After resolving Li Erlin's problem.

Lu Feifan returned to the Lichun Courtyard to continue listening to music.

He quite liked this leisurely and carefree life.

It's much more interesting than taking care of kids.

After sitting there for a while, he didn't even feel like picking up a book anymore.

Lu Feifan, who has a habit of reading, is fine when he is reading.

Once you put it down, a sense of slackness arises in your heart.

If he didn't feel a noticeable increase in strength, he would definitely indulge himself.

But reading can make you stronger.

Lu Feifan still knows what's important.

Playing and having fun are fine, but reading should never stop.

Actually, it doesn't count if you don't get completely absorbed in the book.

Lu Feifan really wanted to bring the books here so he could read and have fun at the same time.

The courtesans did everything themselves, without him having to lift a finger.

Given his net worth, there's no issue of him not being able to afford it.

Unfortunately, in such a place that hinders reading, he might only gain single-digit experience points even after a whole day of reading.

"I'm so stupid! I was watching Ruyan dance and I was still thinking about studying!"

"He's gone mad!"

Lu Feifan took a big gulp of tea.

Reading too many books can have serious side effects.

Even in such a relaxing place, he still keeps things on his mind.

"reward!"

Be aware of the problem.

Lu Feifan put aside all those messy thoughts.

I focused all my energy on what I was supposed to do here.

Lu Feifan was very satisfied with Ruyan's performance, and he directly took out a Xuan-level cultivation technique and threw it at her.

He doesn't have much else, but he has a lot of knowledge about cultivation.

Ruyan didn't pay much attention to the books thrown on the stage at first, thinking it was just some young master playing love letters with her.

However, when she picked it up and opened it, she immediately gasped in shock.

Mysterious-level cultivation technique.

This was the first time she had ever seen it.

She quickly put it away.

If that's true, she's made a fortune!

In some large families in small and medium-sized cities, this thing can even become the clan's signature technique.

She quickly looked tenderly at the person who had thrown out the technique.

Upon seeing it, she couldn't help but gently cover her mouth.

Now we can be certain that the technique is genuine.

After all, given the other party's status, they certainly couldn't possibly present something fake to fool people.

Ruyan hurriedly finished her performance and left the stage.

"Young Master Lu, my young lady invites you to come over for a chat!"

Lu Feifan wasn't surprised that the maid came to invite him.

In my memory, he was a regular customer of Ruyan, although there was nothing between them.

But everyone assumed that he was one of Prince Lu's men.

Therefore, no one ever dared to make things difficult for Ruyan, and she always maintained her role as a courtesan.

Although those who can run brothels all have very powerful backers.

But precisely because they are large enough, they are more pragmatic and more willing to give up things.

In reality, those who do this business are not short of money; what they need are connections.

"Your Highness, it's been so long since you've come to visit us!"

As soon as she entered, Ruyan said in a sweet and coquettish voice.

Actually, she used to be quite reserved.

Even when facing Lu Feifan, the heir apparent, she maintained a very proper demeanor.

This is the experience summarized by their predecessors in this industry.

These young masters from prominent families have seen it all.

Therefore, attracting them requires more than just lust.

To achieve sustainability and progress, one must have distinctive characteristics.

Otherwise, it's just a matter of sleeping and then there's no future.

But now, Ruyan can no longer care about its unique features.

Nearly four years have passed. With the young master Lu Feifan disappearing from sight, and her age no longer being eighteen, the Lichun Courtyard has grown older.

Even though she was once the top courtesan, there are top courtesans every year.

I wonder how many courtesans, after enjoying their glory for a year or two, had their lips tasted by thousands.

For a courtesan to maintain her position, there is only one way: she must always have only one man behind her.

Otherwise, once they reach a certain age, they'll end up entertaining clients every day.

There aren't many courtesans who can last long. Most men in this world, especially the powerful and wealthy, are heartless once they've had their pants down.

The greatest chance for a lasting relationship lies with young scions of prominent families.

Especially the kind that guards its food.

If someone else touches what they've touched, it will explode.

Coincidentally, Lu Feifan was that kind of person in the past.

When Lu Feifan took a liking to her, Ruyan had high hopes for the future.

She was already thinking about her life after leaving the brothel.

Unfortunately, the two had only been dating for a short time and hadn't done anything yet.

Lu Feifan disappeared.

One can imagine Ru Yan's feelings.

If it weren't for Lu Feifan's infamous act of protecting food, which led to the downfall of a powerful brothel and the imprisonment of its owner, Ruyan would probably have lost her status as a top courtesan long ago.

However, this couldn't last long, especially since many rumors suggested that Lu Feifan, the heir apparent, had gotten into trouble.

Although no one has confirmed it, the fact that no one has been seen for more than three years makes even a lie seem real.

Therefore, Ruyan was very worried.

In particular, although Lichunlou did not strip her of her status as the top courtesan and forced her to entertain guests.

However, this increased the number of times she performed on stage, and her treatment also decreased significantly.

She felt that if Prince Lu Feifan didn't appear for another year or two, her situation would become even more dangerous.

Fortunately, someone appeared again when she was most helpless.

Therefore, she really couldn't maintain her composure.

"I have fallen in love with reading these past few years and have been in seclusion ever since!"

Lu Feifan said calmly.

"Your Highness is truly a literary genius descended to earth. To be able to endure such a long period of loneliness is unprecedented in history. I saw your talent in this area long ago."

Ru Yan said against her conscience.

Who is Prince Lu? How could she not know?!

Someone who can't sit still for even three minutes.

How can you still concentrate on reading?

Even if they actually studied, it certainly wasn't voluntary; they must have done something wrong and been punished.

Of course, she only thought these words to herself and definitely couldn't say them out loud.

"Indeed."

Lu Feifan gave Ruyan a look that said, "You have excellent taste."

"The prince's refined and scholarly demeanor is undeniable; anyone would think so!"

This sentence, Ruyan, wasn't entirely flattery.

She truly sensed this aura emanating from Lu Feifan, an aura she hadn't felt a few years ago.

Although the person hasn't changed, they give off the feeling of being a completely different person.

Today, the mere presence of Prince Lu in the same room made her heart flutter.

It's not the kind of deliberate flattery we used to see.

The prince I met today is captivating in his own way, unlike before when he was only infatuated with the prince's status.

Ruyan sat down and made tea for Lu Feifan.

Lu Feifan enjoyed the beauty's service, closed his eyes and drank tea, feeling relaxed and ethereal for a moment.

This is life.

Aside from what he remembers, in reality, Lu Feifan has never truly enjoyed life in both his lifetimes combined.

Let's not talk about my past life; I was just an ordinary person, only able to watch others enjoy life on Douyin (TikTok).

As for this life, I've only just arrived and haven't even had a chance to enjoy it before I went straight into the Tianya Haige (a gaming platform) to work myself to the bone.

The only beauty he could truly enjoy was someone whose mind was clouded and whose memories were all in disarray.

Really miserable!
