It would be easier for her to disguise herself when the birthmark was gone! At least, she no longer had to disguise or tan herself.
For safety purposes, she has been teleporting the entire night and managed to escape to Qingmu City, which was about 300 kilometers away.
...
Qingmu City was the second largest city in the Feixing Kingdom. Although it was not as well developed as the capital, it was quite a famous place in the country.
The streets were broad and the buildings were as packed as the scales on a fish's body!
Of course, the scenery was spectacular and the architectures were beautifully vintage-like.
There was a well-known attraction in Qingmu City, named the Ecstasy House!
Ecstasy House was not the residence of any royal family but rather, a famous brothel. The reason it was named Ecstasy House came from the fact that the building was a private mansion owned by the royal family member of the previous dynasty.
The royal family of the previous dynasty was gone after the revolution and hence, the private mansion had been auctioned off, turning into a brothel today...
Therefore, the Ecstasy House was different from the other brothels; it was a premium brothel with an amazing quality of prostitutes. Besides, all the prostitutes were talented in playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting and they were very well versed with all types of music and songs.
Even the cheapest prostitute would cost a hundred dollars, but that would only include drinks with the guest. However, if the guest wanted her company overnight, he would need to pay 2000 dollars instead...
While the most well-known prostitute would not just attend to any customer, given that those men were willing to pay a high price, they still need to seek permission from the prostitute herself...
The top prostitute in the Ecstasy House was Liu Qiandai - her appearance was as beautiful as her name.
Liu Qiandai was a cool beauty. Rumor had it that she did not merely smile, but when she smiled, all the men would fall for her and she was attractive enough to get her hands on all their money...
Besides that, the cool beauty smelled delightful; with a special fragrance which could rapidly heighten heartbeat rates.
She was very arrogant and did not just attend to any customers. Even if the princes came, she would not even bother to greet them if she did not feel like it.
The well-known prostitutes in the Ecstasy House, respectively had their own courtyard. They would light up the lantern outside their courtyard when they needed to attend to their guests.
While Liu Qiandai was the top prostitute, she owned a very big courtyard with good quality of furniture and displays.
Hers was named Anxiang Court, and there was a colorful lantern outside her courtyard. In other words, she had a special guest tonight and she was serving him glamorously...
All the customers who passed by were curious of who had the privilege to see Miss Liu.
The courtyard was huge, and no matter how hard the customers tried to peep, they could not see anything but could only hear music from the room.
Miss Liu was playing the zither! She did not always play the zither!
Even Rong Chu got rejected by her when he invited her to play for him!
Who was the guest in her room!?
The customers were extremely curious about that!
That man must be quite an amazing person as he could get her to play the zither!
...
At the moment, everything in Liu Qiandai's room were high-quality items.
With the moonlight color of the bed drapes with black and white furniture, everything was a perfect match for her.
The only imperfection was the huge bathtub right at the center.
There was a thick layer of steam rising from the bathtub.
Gu Xijiu was sitting in the bathtub with a lot of petals floating on the surface of the water. The water temperature was just perfect for her.
She was enjoying the long bath with her eyes closed. She felt comfortable after a long night of escape!
Even if someone was willing to pay with all their assets, that did not mean he could get Liu Qiandai to play a song for him. Liu Qiandai was playing the zither at the table; her skills were amazing and her voice, lovely.
Gu Xijiu was enjoying the music; she felt like she was surrounded by mountains and lakes.
"Master, the fragrance of Xiang Man Luo would have been gone when you soak yourself in the bath for 15 minutes. However, you’ve been soaking for an hour!" The Firmament Stone reminded her.
"It can help me reduce tiredness." Gu Xijiu flipped her long hair off her shoulder.
In order to get rid of the navigation talisman which Celestial Master Zuo put on her, she deliberately went to Lake Manxiang to wash away the talisman with Xiang Man Luo.
Although the talisman was gone, she was still exuding the Xiang Man Luo fragrance, which would turn unpleasantly pungent after a few days.
However, she would need to find a way to wash away the scent of Xiang Man Luo if she did not want to smell bad.
The Firmament Stone told Gu Xijiu that the only way to get rid of the fragrance from Xiang Man Luo was to get the perfume recipe from Liu Qiandai.
Therefore, Gu Xijiu travelled all the way in search of Liu Qiandai.
In fact, it was difficult to see Liu Qiandai, as it was almost impossible for ordinary people to enter her room.
However, it was not an issue to Gu Xijiu as she could always teleport into her room.
Of course, Liu Qiandai was frightened when Gu Xijiu sneaked into her room. Right before she managed to shout for help, Gu Xijiu said something which delighted her completely.
What Gu Xijiu said to her was, "Do you want to get your illness treated? I can help you."
Therefore, Liu Qiandai had decided against shouting.
After a long talk, she believed this little tanned-skin girl could cure her illness.
Liu Qiandai was slim, fit, pretty, and could sing very well. She was almost considered a perfect woman.
However, there was something no one knew - she had bad body odor.
Of course, as it was not very serious, no one would notice if she dilligently showers slightly more often.
However, for a perfectionist like her, it was definitely a critical condition to her. She had been seeking advice and treatments from many doctors and consumed a lot of different medications, but none of which, had ever worked. Therefore, she learned the art of concocting perfume and had now become an expert...
She always smelled nice with perfume, thus, no one would notice her bad bodily odor.
The arrival of Gu Xijiu was indeed at a perfect timing! She ought to serve her like a VIP.
Both of them were decisive people and had come to a mutual agreement in a very short time.
Liu Qiandai would prepare a special perfume for Gu Xijiu’s bath, and in return, Gu Xijiu would help treat Liu Qiandai after her bath.
That was how we arrived the scene of Gu Xijiu soaking herself in the bathtub.
"Master, you’re such a lucky one, Liu Qiandai is playing the zither for you! Rong Chu wanted her to play a song many years ago but he failed. Not only that, he could not even do anything to take revenge." The Firmament Stone mumbled in her mind.
Gu Xijiu opened her eyes and pondered, "The boss of the Ecstasy House must be someone powerful, even Rong Chu would let it go. Do you know who that is?"
"Mother Xi." The Firmament Stone answered.
Gu Xijiu frowned, how could a madame be so powerful?
"Do you know who the mastermind was behind it all?"
The Firmament Stone said happily, "You’ve finally asked the correct question! I've heard that the Ecstasy House and the auction room in the capital city are both owned by the same person. This person is very powerful, but always kept himself under the radar."
