Lu Quanshu, who was in a bad mood, was brought to a brothel. It was the largest brothel in the entire Black Mountain. Here, money was heaven, and all of one's desires could be satisfied. There were only things one could not think of, but there was nothing they could not do.
It also had a very inappropriate name, "Phoenix Brothel".
The Phoenix Brothel on Fengyang Street had always been the happiest place to spend money in Black Mountain.
Seeing the gilded signboard of the Phoenix Brothel, Lu Quanshu's mood gradually calmed down. With his meager salary, he wouldn't even be able to enjoy the food here. He would only occasionally receive free service when he was working for that lord.
He put the unpleasant thoughts behind him and thought of the pleasure he was about to experience. He felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Lu? I haven't seen you for a long time. Those chicks have been thinking about you every day, but they never saw you. Now that you're back, they'll treat you equally."
Just then, a fat, pretentious woman, with a thick, powdered face, wriggled up to meet him. Her upper body was wrapped in a dark gold brocade, which exposed most of her stifling breasts, and covered only the important parts. She had a face like a pancake, a long hairy mole at the corner of her mouth, and cheeks as red as a dumpling. When she walked, she looked as ridiculous as a standing hippopotamus.
"Oh, it's Lord Feng Wu." Although it was ridiculous, Lu Quanshu did not dare to laugh. He cupped his hands and said, "It's been a while, and you're still as beautiful as ever. Congratulations."
"Oh my, Lord Lu is a scholar, and your mouth is so pleasing." The fat woman called Feng Wu was obviously in a good mood, and her eyes narrowed into slits when she smiled.
Although this woman looked like a weirdo, she was the chief steward of the Phoenix Brothel. She was also the younger sister of Huan Ji, and no one in Black Mountain dared to offend her. It was said that the two sisters were very close, and those who dared to criticize her appearance were tortured to death by Huan Ji.
Feng Wu winked at him and said, "My sister said that Master Lu is here and that we need to treat him with great hospitality. Here's a batch of fresh stock. They've only arrived a few days ago, and they're all Master Lu's favorite chicks. I promise they'll be delicious … However, it's getting harder and harder to get good stock these days. Master Lu, do you understand?"
Lu Quanshu felt a chill in his heart. Last time, he had accidentally killed his bed attendant. This was a warning: Play is play, but don't damage precious goods.
"I'll save it," he hurriedly said.
Under the guidance of the pimp, they arrived at the innermost room. Not long after Lu Quanshu sat down, the maids came in with food and wine. Lu Quanshu had only eaten a few mouthfuls when he heard the shouts of a few thugs. When he came closer, he saw four or five young girls with teary eyes being pushed in by a few strong men. They lined up in front of Lu Quanshu.
The burly man smiled apologetically at the pimp and said, "This subordinate did not train them well, their temperaments are still very wild."
"It's fine, you can leave." The pimp waved his hand. After they left, he smiled obsequiously. "Master Lu, mother said that these are the best batch. They're all naturally seductive. She's preparing to train them so that they can be used in court in the future. You can only choose one of them."
Lu Quanshu thought to himself, I'm of the lower third rank, how can I not be considered a 'minister'? But he didn't dare to show his dissatisfaction.
Although these young girls were the best batch, they were unpolished jade. They didn't know how to serve men at all.
Coincidentally, Lu Quanshu liked this. If there were really those who were good at it, he would be the one to lose his appetite.
However, it was clear that his status as an assistant minister of the Hall of Governmental Affairs was not high enough and he didn't receive much attention. They were obviously talking about 'proper business', but they sent him here. This could be considered a kind of contempt.
Lu Quanshu knew this, but he didn't point it out. He turned his gaze to the young girls.
The oldest of these young girls was only about sixteen years old, and the youngest was only about ten years old. They were all dressed in thin clothes, and the faintly discernible beauty made one's blood boil involuntarily with just a few glances. However, on their exposed skin, the crisscrossed whip marks could be seen clearly, and it was a ghastly sight.
Anyone with a bit of conscience would feel unbearable.
Of course, for some people, this was a different kind of novelty. Lu Quanshu was this kind of person.
His eyes darted back and forth between the few of them. The youngest among them clearly did not know what kind of tragic fate he was about to encounter. Other than fear, he was mostly ignorant. The older one was more mature in all aspects, and also the most pitiful and moving. Moreover, he was very clear about the fate that was about to befall him, but he still carried a trace of resentment.
Lu Quanshu liked this type the most. But they were very young and inexperienced. It was hard for him to give them up. He thought for a long time. His gaze landed on the older girl. "What is your name?"
"Lin Miaoyue …" The girl bit her lip and said.
Lu Quanshu's gaze landed on the youngest girl. "What about you?"
"Yue … Yue 'er …" The little girl said with a trembling voice.
After all, it was the voice of a young child. It made Lu Quanshu feel even more emotional. He smiled and said, "You are called Yue 'er, right? You can stay."
Yue 'er knew nothing about her fate. She only knew that something terrible was about to happen, so she could only cry.
The face of the girl called Lin Miaoyue suddenly turned deathly pale and she suddenly knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face like rain as she said, "Milord, Yue 'er is still young, she really, really can't bear it, please spare her, please spare her …"
Before Lu Quanshu could say anything, the pimp's face darkened. "Since when did you have the right to make decisions? It seems that the lesson I gave you is far from enough. Men, drag her away and beat her hard. As long as she is still breathing, we have many medicines in the tower. Let's see if your bones are tough or if we have more tricks up our sleeves. "
Yue 'er panicked. She quickly knelt down and cried, "Don't hit Sister Miaoyue. Don't hit Sister Miaoyue. Yue' er is willing to stay. Please don't hit Sister Miaoyue …"
The pimp said fiercely, "No one is allowed to break the rules of the tower. If anyone begs for mercy on her behalf, don't blame me for being merciless with my whip!" He shook his sleeve and a long whip appeared.
"Wait." Lu Quanshu was very displeased. He thought to himself, "Are you the one in charge or am I the one in charge?"
He turned to Lin Miaoyue and said, "Since you are begging me to spare her, I am not an unreasonable person. You can stay and take her place. Are you willing?"
"I am willing …" Lin Miaoyue looked at Yue 'er and bit her lip.
"Sister Miaoyue …" Yue 'er cried.
Although the pimp was very unhappy that his prestige was ruined, he did not dare to offend the third rank assistant minister. He nodded and bowed as he escorted the rest of the girls away. It was inevitable that he would act like a tyrant again.
Yue 'er was escorted back to Li Garden. Li Garden was specially used to imprison and train young prostitutes like her. Not only were there professional thugs to watch over them, there were also old prostitutes who had retired from the frontline of the Phoenix Brothel. They were in charge of teaching the new prostitutes how to serve men. They were called Phoenix Heads.
Xu Fenglan was thirty-five this year. She was one of the Phoenix Heads.
She was kidnapped at the age of ten and "learned" for five years. She started to serve customers at the age of fifteen. Twenty years of her youth was buried here. Now that she was old, she finally got a job that could be considered leisurely. There were very few Phoenix Heads like her. In the Black Mountain, unless one had the talent to cultivate, as a woman, her fate was very tragic. Other than drinking and sleeping with men, she would either starve to death or commit suicide. There was no other way out.
The Phoenix Brothel was not ordinary. The location of the Black Mountain had never been exposed. It could be imagined that no matter how much money they made for the Phoenix Brothel, they would not be free. They would not even be able to serve their husbands and children.
Xu Fenglan was very clear that the only value she had left was to cultivate new blood for the Phoenix Brothel. If she could not even do this job well, then her life would come to an end. But she was not willing. She was not willing to be buried here for the rest of her life. She hated everything here.
She did not live the past twenty years in vain. She had found a way to escape, as long as …
"Aunt Lan!" Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden cry. She saw the youngest new girl stumbling into her room. "Sister Miaoyue, she, Sister Miaoyue, she …"
Xu Fenglan saw the shadow of herself in this youngest girl, so she was very fond of her. She hurried to hug her and said, "What happened? Don't panic. Tell me slowly. "
"Sister Miaoyue, for Yue 'er …"
When Yue 'er finally explained everything, Xu Fenglan clenched her teeth. After a long time, she weakly loosened her grip and sighed, "Yue' er, our fate has never been decided by ourselves. From the first day you were caught in the Black Mountain, you have lost the dignity and freedom that a human should have. Only by abandoning them can you survive here …"
"Yue 'er is very afraid. I am afraid that I will never see Sister Miaoyue again …" Yue' er said while sobbing.
Xu Fenglan softly comforted her, "With your Sister Miaoyue's beauty, even if her virginity has been taken, she still has great value. The Phoenix Brothel will not let anyone kill her so easily. You don't have to worry."
Yue 'er did not really understand. She was tired of crying and slowly fell asleep in Xu Fenglan's arms.
Xu Fenglan looked at the little girl who was still trembling in fear in her sleep. Her tears involuntarily fell down. She immediately became determined and murmured, "Yue 'er, Aunt Lan will bring you out of here. Aunt Lan will definitely bring you out of here …"
She knew very well that the more people she brought, the less hope she had to escape.
Half an hour later, Lin Miaoyue was carried to her room by a few thugs and ordered to treat her injuries.
Lin Miaoyue was already injured to begin with, and when she was carried back, she was on the verge of death, almost on her last breath.
Her messy lower body was still dripping with blood, and there were bite marks all over her body.
"Damn bastards …" Xu Fenglan's heart was filled with infinite grief and indignation, but more than that, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Aunt Lan …" At this time, Lin Miaoyue struggled to open her eyes, "Yue 'er, is Yue' er alright?"
