Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

At this moment, the female doctor came out and pulled the madam aside to whisper, "Madam, that girl's pulse is not good, I'm afraid..."

The madam was startled, but quickly regained her smile and looked at Qingying.

After hesitating for a while, Qingying asked the madam how much she wanted. He decided that if the price was right, he would take her back. He didn't want to search around aimlessly, as he wasn't interested in these brothels and didn't want to go anywhere else.

"Would you like to redeem the young lady, sir?"

Upon hearing this, Qingying quickly refused: "I won't redeem myself, just for one night."

Just kidding, where would you put someone after you've been redeemed and returned home?

Upon hearing this, the madam thought about it carefully. She couldn't ask for too high a price. If he didn't want it, she would have to find another customer. If he died in the meantime, she wouldn't earn a single penny and would have to find someone to take care of the mess.

"Ten thousand taels for one night, and ten thousand taels for redemption."

Upon hearing this, Qingying's eyes widened in astonishment, then she asked suspiciously, "So expensive? Why is it the same price for one night and for redemption?"

The madam raised an eyebrow and smiled sweetly: "Young master, you know you want a virgin girl, so her first time will definitely be more expensive. If the girl hadn't been unconscious, it would have cost more than ten thousand taels!"

"With my daughter's looks and figure, I think any wealthy man in the capital would be willing to pay any price to spend a night with her!"

Qingying frowned and asked suspiciously, "Is that girl not going to wake up? You want to get rid of her?"

"Young master, please don't talk nonsense. Since you don't like the young lady, then let's go! I'm busy here too!" After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation.

Hearing him say that, the madam felt a little guilty. She was afraid that if they continued chatting, she would be exposed.

"Two thousand taels a night," Qingying said seriously.

"From what I understand, this price is considered quite high for one night in your building."

“Since you like the girl and have the means, why don’t you redeem her?”

Qingying straightened her posture and said in a serious tone, "To be honest, I am not from the capital. I like to roam the world and have no fixed abode, so I cannot provide you with a stable life."

"Here's what we'll do: eight thousand taels. You can take the person with you."

"It's so expensive," Qingying hesitated again. But then she thought, if he left today and the girl was still unconscious, would the madam sell her off to someone else just to get rid of her?

Greasy man, bald man, perverted man, slovenly man with big yellow teeth, pot-bellied old man.

The thought of such a beautiful girl being wantonly abused by men, and her tragic end, is unbearable.

After thinking it over, I gritted my teeth and decided to buy it! If the prince doesn't want it, then I'll set her free; it's better than letting her be abused by those men.

Qingying thought for a moment and then seriously offered a price: "Five thousand taels to redeem me and take me away."

"Young master, you really know how to bargain." The madam glanced at the room and saw the female doctor shaking her head at her from inside.

Qingying had her back to the room, so she couldn't see what was happening inside.

"Alright, five thousand taels it is. Please wait a moment, young master, I'll go get the contract." After weighing the options, the madam made her decision and walked towards the elegant courtyard ahead.

Qingying was surprised that the madam agreed so readily, and felt a little annoyed. Had she asked for too much? Was she losing out? She should have lowered it a bit and then gradually increased it. Sigh, what a mess with my brain.

Before long, the madam came over with the indenture.

“Here,” the madam waved the contract in her hand and handed it to Qingying.

Qingying took it and examined it. She saw that the contract read "Qian Duoduo". Qingying thought for a moment and asked, "Is this really hers? You're not trying to trick me, are you?"

The madam straightened her expression and pointed to the contract: "That can't be. Look at it, there's still her handprint on it!"

Qingying, fearing something was amiss, decided to be cautious: "Then write another confirmation form, sign it, and put your fingerprint on it for me. After all, she's currently unconscious, and I can't verify the authenticity of the contract with her."

The madam didn't mince words: "Okay, it's good to be cautious." After saying that, she turned around and went into the next room to write the confirmation form.

And so, Qingying paid five thousand taels, took the indenture and confirmation letter, and left Yuexi Tower with Long Chuqing in her arms.

The madam was in a hurry to sell Long Chuqing because when the female physician took her pulse, she found that her pulse was very weak, occasionally broken, and her breath was like a thread, indicating that she would not live much longer.

In fact, her pulse was stable for the first two days because the phoenix hairpin was used to heal her wounds at night when no one was around. Later, the madam took the hairpin away, and without the phoenix hairpin to heal her wounds, she would still get better, but it would be slower.

He should have woken up after being in a coma for about a day, but the reason he hasn't woken up yet is because of the palm strike he exchanged with Yin Xiao during their fight.

Taking advantage of the exchange of blows, Yin Xiao cast the Soul-Locking Curse into Long Chuqing's body.

She is currently trapped in a dream world due to the Soul-Locking Curse and cannot get out.

She used some of her energy to break free from the dream, which is why her pulse was weak and unstable.

Qin Palace

Qingying carried Long Chuqing back to the main courtyard. The group of people standing outside the door all looked at him, wondering why he had to carry her back.

With a worried look on his face, Qing Tong quickly stepped forward: "You knocked her unconscious? Did you force her because she didn't want to, or did you kidnap her from the street?"

A barrage of questions left Qingying bewildered: "Don't talk nonsense, I was already dizzy, where would you put the person!"

Was he already dizzy? Everyone was even more puzzled; this was just too unreliable!

Seeing that they were about to ask more questions, Qingying quickly changed the subject: "It's a long story. Look at this girl, isn't she quite pretty?"

Only then did everyone take a closer look at her. They exchanged glances and exclaimed in satisfaction, "Not bad at all! No one has ever seen such a beautiful girl before!"

But the girl is still unconscious, isn't that inappropriate? Everyone was still worried.

"We need to put him down first! I can't keep carrying him like this! And how is the prince?"

Qing Tong told him to wait a moment: "I'll go ask Doctor Yuan."

Xiao Han woke up before Qingying returned, and by then the effects of the medicine were slowly taking hold, and cold water was no longer effective in calming him down.

Doctor Yuan then instructed people to bring out the ice blocks hidden in the cellar and put them into the bath tub.

Because he couldn't release the internal heat, Xiao Han's eyes were bloodshot and his whole body was burning up. He was using his internal energy to suppress it.

Qing Tong went in and pulled Doctor Yuan aside to whisper to him. Doctor Yuan thought for a moment and said to Qing Tong, "There's no other way. Put the person on the bed first."

Then he turned back to Xiao Han and said, "There is a young lady in Your Highness's bed, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Han angrily shouted, "Who made this decision? Who gave you permission to bring them here? Take them out!"

Seeing his strong resistance, Doctor Yuan advised, "Your Highness, you mustn't. The aphrodisiac in your body is slowly taking effect. You absolutely mustn't suppress it with your internal energy, otherwise it will trigger the Gu poison in your body, and then there will be no way to deal with it. I'll go out now."

After saying this, Doctor Yuan turned around, went out, and closed the door. He then instructed the guards outside to retreat to the front yard to stand watch.

There was no movement in the room for a long time.

On Long Chuqing's side, the dream that began to trap her was when she was in the Heavenly Realm. At that time, she was arrested for no reason and imprisoned in a dark dungeon. No one interrogated her or guarded her. Her hands and feet were pierced and chained. Every day, she had to endure the whipping of heavenly lightning, day after day, year after year.

After an unknown amount of time, the Queen of Heaven arrived. She walked up to Long Chuqing without saying a word, nor was she able to ask a single question.

The Heavenly Empress used the divine artifact, the Exquisite Lamp, to extract her soul. She knelt there as her soul, spirit, and emotions were forcibly taken away. The process was excruciating, and her wails echoed throughout the dark prison.

Finally, she hung her head helplessly and vaguely heard the Empress tell her attendants as she left, "Break her collarbone, sever her tendons, and throw her into the Heavenly Void Abyss."

After this, she was trapped in this nightmare, over and over again.
