章 398: 398. Great Joyful Bodhisattva

Lin'an is the top-tier city of the Shun Dynasty and even the whole world.

Formerly, most prefecture governments reported populations of one to two million, but Lin'an was outstanding with 3.72 million, manifesting its prosperity.

As the lanterns first lit up, the Green Pavilions and brothels of Lin'an flung open their doors, preparing to welcome the busiest time of the day.

Xiangsiyuan Brothel was one of the busiest, packed with clients within less than an hour of opening.

This place was a rare den of bliss, where latecomers reluctant to leave sat in the hall sipping tea and watching performances, waiting for spots to become available.

In their idle chatter, they always brought up Imperial City, talking about Lu Yao. News of what happened just outside Yongding Gate spread like wildfire throughout Jiangnan within a day.

Upon hearing the news, the higher-profile sects and more distinguished families seemed even more delighted.
