Chapter 239 Rights
The fox fur tickled Shen Yao's face. She hastily brushed the fox tail aside to cover her face and said, "You misunderstood. When I said 'one night,' I meant to sit here with him all night, do nothing, and just tell a lie tomorrow."
Tu Xiaoxiao scoffed, "Do you think the Hua family steward is easy to fool?"
Qing Tong said weakly, "Miss, we all have special marks on our bodies that will only disappear after we lose our virginity. Whether we are virgins or not, the steward can tell at a glance when we redeem ourselves."
"Huff... huff..." Fox fur fell into her mouth. Shen Yao blew the fox fur away, pushed aside the fox tail that was blocking her view and tucked it under her arm. She turned to the side and looked up at Qing Tong, asking, "The special mark you mentioned, it wouldn't be a cinnabar birthmark, would it? Can male cultivators also have cinnabar birthmarks?"
Qing Tong replied, "I don't know what the cinnabar mark you mentioned looks like. We have golden peacock feather patterns on our bodies."
Shen Yao asked curiously, "Come here and let me take a look."
With Tu Xiaoxiao here, Qing Tong dared not move.
Shen Yao struggled to get up, but the eight-tailed fox pinned most of her body down, making it impossible for her to break free. She could only call out to Qing Tong, "Come here!"
Qing Tong slowly walked to the bedside and began to untie her clothes.
Shen Yao stared at his movements with her big, almond-shaped eyes.
Qing Tong untied her clothes belt, and then her pants belt.
Shen Yao exclaimed in surprise, "Stop, stop, stop! Why are you unbuckling your belt?"
Qing Tong paused in her attempt to undo her belt, her hands gripping it tightly. Her face flushed, she whispered, "Miss, our feather markings are on our lower abdomen, at the base of our thighs..."
Since it was in such an embarrassing position, it was indeed inconvenient for her to look. The fairy's eyes darted around, and she set her sights on the male fox: "Little white fox, can you draw?"
Tu Xiaoxiao: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Shen Yao chuckled: "You take a look for me, and then draw it for me when you get back."
Tu Xiaoxiao's expression froze. Having lived for over eight hundred years, she had never encountered such a request: "Shen Yao, your curiosity is a bit too strong."
Shen Yao met his eyes and sensed his obvious displeasure, so she gave up the idea of looking at the feather pattern.
She pushed the eight-tailed fox away and said to Qing Tong, who was standing beside her at a loss, "Put your clothes on and take me to your manager. I'll raise the price to redeem you."
"You're quite generous," Tu Xiaoxiao said sourly, with a hint of mockery. "Drunken Beauty has been open for over nine hundred years and has never broken its rules. Do you really think the Perfect Coin is omnipotent?"
Shen Yao's lips curled up, her expression mysterious, her tone carrying an inexplicable confidence: "Don't worry, there's nothing in this world that money can't buy. If it can't, then it's just that you haven't spent enough."
She reached out and pulled Tu Xiaoxiao up, raised an eyebrow at him, and said something that was sure to get her punched: "But I just love throwing money around."
This was the first time Shen Yao had reached out to pull him when he wasn't in his white fox form. Tu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up with a smile, secretly pleased, but she said disdainfully, "Just a kid, pretending to be an older sister."
The Drunken Beauty Club was packed tonight, and everyone was so busy they barely had time to breathe. Qing Tong searched around twice but couldn't find the manager.
Shen Yao looked up at the second floor with a glimmer of hope. Hua Yi, who claimed to be the owner, was still in the private room. She ran up to the second floor with Qing Tong. When they got closer, they found that Long Jiajia and Hua Ying were also there.
Hua Ying drank too much and fell asleep on the table. Long Jiajia was slightly tipsy. After greeting Shen Yao, she didn't have time to mock Tu Xiaoxiao and continued to enjoy dancing and drinking with her second husband.
Hua Yi showed no signs of drunkenness. He gestured for Shen Yao and Tu Xiaoxiao to sit down, poured them each a glass of wine, and asked, "Miss Shen, what brings you back?"
Shen Yao raised her glass to him and clinked glasses with him: "Boss Hua, can we talk about something?"
Hua Yi raised his glass but didn't drink: "Are you regretting booking the whole place and want your two thousand dollars back?"
"Who do you think you are?" Shen Yao looked disgusted, downed the strong liquor in her glass, and pointed at Qing Tong standing behind her: "Boss Hua, I want to redeem him."
"So that's what it was about." Hua Yi drank his wine and asked Tu Xiaoxiao, "Second Brother Tu, are you willing?"
Tu Xiaoxiao nodded, while Shen Yao said with dissatisfaction, "It's me who's going to redeem Qing Tong, why are you asking him?"
Hua Yi understood; Tu Erdi hadn't yet obtained a formal title.
He poured the wine slowly, his tone leisurely: "Didn't I give you the room number? Go to the third floor room and ask for him."
No wonder he's a brothel owner; he's not ashamed at all to say such things.
Shen Yao: "I don't lust after his body. Name your price, and I'll pay more to redeem him."
Hua Yi: "Drunken Beauty has her own rules. If you don't want him, he can't leave."
Shen Yao quoted a price directly: "One thousand dollars."
Qing Tong was startled: "Miss...please don't! Qing Tong isn't worth that price..."
Hua Yi remained unmoved: "Not following the rules is unacceptable, even ten thousand cuts won't do."
Shen Yao was displeased: "You're forcing a good woman into prostitution."
Hua Yi continued drinking, ignoring her.
Shen Yao tried to reason with him: "Boss Hua, if a customer wants to redeem someone, can't he just raise the price? Are you forcing us to sleep together to force him to sell himself, or are you forcing me to sell myself?"
Hua Yi and Tu Xiaoxiao started drinking together: "Miss Shen, you can't just say things like that. Zui Hongyan won't force her patrons to sell themselves."
Shen Yao: "Then what do you want?"
Hua Yi: "As I said, follow the rules, the normal price is fine."
Shen Yao slammed her wine glass down, her temper flaring: "You've already cultivated to godhood, can't you open a proper restaurant? Running a brothel and forcing women into prostitution, aren't you afraid of ruining your cultivation?"
The commotion she made when she threw the wine glass was quite loud and carried a hint of anger, drawing the attention of Long Jiajia, who was drinking with her husband.
Long Jiajia's bright eyes were slightly intoxicated. She held up her wine glass and said to Shen Yao, "Sister Shen, take a look inside the hall. A proper restaurant can't support so many low-level cultivators."
“I don’t condone forcing a good woman into prostitution. As far as I know, the woman you’re trying to redeem voluntarily sold herself to be a seducer.”
Shen Yao's anger intensified, and she bombarded them with a barrage of words: "How can you be sure he came voluntarily? Fine, even if he came voluntarily to save his parents, what about the other female disciples and male prostitutes? Can you guarantee that they weren't forced by bad guys or trafficked?"
She glared angrily at Hua Yi: "Running a brothel is a crime!"
Tu Xiaoxiao released her fox tail and wrapped it around her, then said lightly to Hua Yi, "Brother Yi, she's only thirty-seven years old."
"Yes, I've heard about it." Hua Yi wasn't angry. Instead, he took Shen Yao's cup again and filled it with wine. "Miss Shen, you're still young. You don't understand. This world isn't black and white. You are a Celestial Saint, with a background, strength, and endless wealth. But there are many low-level cultivators in the world who are born at the bottom and live in the shadows."
Shen Yao refused to drink the wine he poured, her tone still sharp: "So what if you're a low-level cultivator? Do low-level cultivators deserve to be looked down upon and bullied? Don't they have the right to enjoy life?!"
Her question was filled with indignation, yet also chivalrous spirit, and the cultivators present who heard her question fell silent for a moment.
Long Jiajia's ears twitched slightly. She hadn't expected that Shen Yao, a spoiled brat, and Gu Cangsheng, with such a heart, would ask such a question.
So giving her the Spirit Awakening Seal isn't out of the question.
