Chapter 199 Poem Worth 100,000 Spirit Stones
Long Ming's refined aura along with his identity was enough for many people to pay attention to him.
" Grand Sky City's Four Seasons Valley?"
" To think there is a male disciple in Four Seasons Valley! He is even the True Disciple."
" Ah, It seems I heard some rumors. It looks like his identity is legit."
Liu Ye snorted when he heard the crowd. " Of course! My Brother Long is the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley."
" Come with me, Brother Long, The real stuffs are in the upstairs." Liu Ye winked at Long Ming and took him to the upstairs.
When Long Ming reached the upstairs, he could see the floor filled with various rich nobles and young masters. He had to admit, that the quality of the courteseans here almost comparable to the Eternal Spring Tower.
However, with his Heavenly Revelation Eyes, Long Ming felt a qualitative difference.
' Although both are high class brothels, the courtesans in Eternal Spring Tower worked with their own volition, generating a lot of Fragrant Yin Qi.'
' However, the courteseans here simply putting a fake smile, as if they were being forced. Such gloomy aura...'
" Hehe, Brother Long, I heard that a noble clan got destroyed by the Imperial Army for some conspiracy. So, there must be some new fresh flowers here." Liu Ye laughed. " I shall call them then."
" Sister A'zhu! Bring the new flowers to serve me and Brother Long."
" Hehe, Young Master Liu is pretty experienced." A'zhu smiled. " However, As you know, such ladies are a bit pricy. So..."
" Hmph, You think we care about money?" Liu Ye snorted as he placed 100,000 Mid grade spirit stones before A'zhu. " Go, We are going to enjoy the whole night. And, if more needed, just come to me."
" Brother Liu is truly generous. This slave shall obey all your commands." A'zhu's smile brightened as she bowed and left hurriedly.
Soon, various dishes piled before on Long Ming and Liu Ye's table. " Brother Long, This Spring Flower Wine is one of the best wines you can get in the Holy Qilin City. But it's still tame before the Eternal Spring Tower's wines."
" Well, I take that as a compliment." Long Ming looked at the golden shrimp as he sliced and ate it. " Actually, Brother Liu, What did you meant earlier by new flowers?"
" Don't you know?" Liu Ye drank a mouthful of wine as he looked at Long Ming. " When a family unable to pay their debt or found to be engaged against the Imperial Family, the entire family got arrested."
" The men either get killed or exiled into deep and harsh mining ranges. As for women..." Liu Ye showed his surroundings. " They get sold here, becoming playthings of others."
" Of course, The Imperial Family would squeeze every bit of worth and money out of them."
Long Ming was enlightened when he heard that. " This...Isn't that kinda evil?"
" Evil?" Liu Ye laughed. " Brother Long, Do you really think it's evil? It's simply actions and consequences."
" Unless you are a powerful Ancient Family or Imperial Sect, going against the Imperial Family is simply courting death."
Long Ming nodded as he kept eating. He understood that in this world, the one with the bigger fist is the one who makes the rule.
If you don't want to follow the rule, either crush that fist with a bigger fist or escape from the area of the fist.
" Tsk, Feudalism is truly sinful. Imagine how much tears and despair these beds of flowers have absorbed." Long Ming sighed.
" Well, Even if it's sinful, it's both pleasurable and profitable." Liu Ye grinned. " Imagine, you walk inside and see the wife and daughter of your rival family here. In such a case, a person would definitely spend a lot to have fun with them."
" But Brother Liu, What's happening there? Is that some sort of gathering?"
" Ah, Today must be the day of weekly treasure gathering." Liu Ye clicked his tongue. " Basically, Various people come here and gamble or exchange various treasures and information."
" If you pay enough money, you can even hire a professional appraiser to check the treasures." Liu Ye's eyes gleamed. " Brother Long, How about we go and check some treasures?"
" Why not?" Long Ming chuckled as he and Liu Ye walked there.
Long Ming could see there were many people who were hiding their identities with masks. Meanwhile, there are also people who didn't bother to hide their identity.
As Long Ming and Liu Ye got their seats, they looked at the various tables. But at that moment, a pair of girls walked before them before bowing politely.
" Young Master Liu, Young Master Long, Miss A'zhu has sent us to serve you."
" En, Go ahead and massage us." Liu Ye nodded. " Also, pour me some wine."
" Yes."
Long Ming chuckled as he could see a rebellious fire in the younger girl's eyes. However, she gritted her teeth and walked behind Long Ming,r kneading his shoulds gently.
" Mm, You got quite some perky ass." Liu Ye grinned viciously as he rubbed the butt of the girl serving him wine. The girl trembled, but she didn't dare to offend Liu Ye.
Not only Liu Ye, but there were many who were simply taking good advantage of the girls out in public.
' At least someone isn't fucking here outright.' Long Ming laughed in his heart.
Since such culture is deeply rooted in people here, Long Ming had no interest in being a white knight and trying to change it.
" Millennium old Water Crystal Grass! Five stalks for 200,000 mid grade spirit stones!"
" A broken Earth grade treasure! Although broken, it still contains the power of an Innate type treasure. So, 100,000 mid grade spirit stones."
" Information about 5000 Year old Blood Fire Fruit Tree! Completely authentic nothing is false!"
Long Ming closed his eyes as he enjoyed the massage of the girl behind him. Meanwhile, the bastard Liu Ye already made the other girl sit on his lap, sharing his wine with her.

Long Ming raised his brows when he saw that. " Well, Since I always behaved as a scholar, I should also do things like scholar, no?"
" Hmm? What do you mean by that, Brother Long?" Liu Ye was enjoying the quivering girl on his lap when he heard the murmurs of Long Ming.
Long Ming took a deep sigh as he chuckled. " Beautiful lady, Go and bring me a sheet of paper."
The girl was absent minded as she kept massaging Long Ming's shoulders.
" Hmph! Didn't you hear what Brother Long said?!" Liu Ye snorted as a bit of his aura erupted, weighing down on that younger girl.
" Ahh!"
The girl's expression changed as she felt a powerful force crushing on her. " I... I shall bring it right away."
" Hmph, Useless! You should get punished." Liu Ye snorted. However, the girl sitting on his lap trembled. " My lord, She...she is my sister. Please, have mercy on that ignorant girl."
" Oh, Is that so?" Liu Ye chuckled as he hugged that girl tighter. " Then, you better pay for her mischief."
The younger sister clenched her teeth when she looked at her older sister. However, in this place, both of them were simply powerless.
She placed the sheet of paper before Long Ming respectfully. Long Ming took out his Five Elemental Inkstone and Treasures Jade Brush.
Dipping the brush in condensed Fragrant Yin Qi, Long Ming rubbed it on the inkstone as he started to write on the sheet of paper.
Each of his strokes was slow and precise, as if Long Ming was painting an art. The younger sister was stunned when she saw Long Ming's beautiful calligraphy.
Not to mention, she felt like the words contained some sort of mysterious charm, making her look at it more and more.
The flow of Fragrant Yin Qi attracted quite some people's attention. Long Ming finished writing it and gave it to the younger girl.
" Go and place it in the treasure exchanging place. As for the price...Don't sell it below 100,000 Mid grade spirit stones."
Long Ming's voice was loud when he spoke that, making everyone gasp.
" 100,000 mid grade spirit stones for a calligraphy piece?"
" Who does he think he is? Some renowned noble scholar?"
" But he does look pretty handsome though?"
The girl was startled, but she nodded and took the piece.
Everyone became eager to see Long Ming's 100,000 mid grade spirit stone worth of poes as the girl unfurled the scroll.
Flower no flower
mist no mist
arrives at midnight
and leaves at dawn
arrives like a spring dream – how many times
leaves like a morning cloud – nowhere to find.
" This..."
" Interesting poem. It speaks pretty well about the passing beauty of a courtesan."
" What a poem indeed. But...The piece of calligraphy seems even more...enchanting."
" Wait, Does that calligraphy piece... contain intent energy?"
" Huh?"
