"How's the search going!?"
A slightly hoarse voice echoed in the stillness of the night, cutting through the silence with clarity.
At this moment, it was already deep into the night, and what was once a deserted Huazhou street was now filled with a large group of people.
At the forefront stood a man whose beauty was akin to that of a celestial being.
The cold moonlight fell upon the earth like wisps of smoke.
This handsome man was clad in a Black Python Robe, with a matching belt cinched at his waist, and draped in a black cloak that exuded an innate aura of dominance, making him impossible to underestimate.
His smooth, jet-black hair was adorned with an exquisite Amethyst Jade Crown, accentuating his sharply defined features, as if they had been meticulously sculpted by divine hands. He possessed an elegance and grace that were unparalleled.
However, this strikingly beautiful man wore an expression of grave seriousness. His deep-set eyes radiated a coldness reminiscent of Eternal Ice, making it difficult for anyone to meet his gaze.
Yet, his Sword Brows remained furrowed throughout, betraying the worry that consumed him.
This man was none other than Leng Yixuan, who had been searching for Xin'er and had not slept for two days and nights.
Where are you now, Xin'er?
Are you feeling helpless and afraid?
Leng Yixuan's heart was heavy with concern, and he felt sorrowful over his own powerlessness.
In these two days, he had dispatched all the personnel from his estate to search for her. Even the Shadow Guards, typically reserved for emergencies, had been sent out. Yet Xin'er had still not been found.
Just the thought of Xin'er facing difficulties at this moment while he failed to rescue her caused Leng Yixuan immense pain, as if his heart were being sliced apart.
At that moment, one of his subordinates approached him, seemingly having discovered something. The subordinate clasped his hands together and spoke to Leng Yixuan.
"Reporting back to my lord, I have found out that there is a **House** ahead. It is said that the backing of that **House** is the Huazhou Prefect, and many of the girls inside have been trafficked there! Just a few days ago, a group of young girls was sold to this **House**."
At this point, the guard fell silent.
However, everyone understood what was implied next.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yixuan immediately tensed up, his Deep Black Eyes narrowing as a fierce glint shot from his gaze.
"The **House**!?"
With a slight parting of Red Lips, the man swiftly mounted his horse and waved his hand.
The followers behind him immediately followed suit, heading straight for the **House**!
...
That night!
After having dinner and bathing, Xin'er found herself alone in the room arranged by Sister Yao.
Initially, she was worried that Xiao Zi would be scared and didn't want to part ways, planning for them to share a room.
However, upon learning this, Sister Yao insisted on separating them.
It was as if she feared they would conspire together if they were in the same room.
At this moment, it was night!
Outside, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the stars twinkled like beautiful diamonds scattered across the dark expanse, embellishing the night with such beauty and mystery!
Looking at this enchanting night scene, what Xin'er desired most was to grow a pair of wings and fly away from here, escaping this place.
However, she knew that it was impossible!
Just a moment ago, she had learned from Little Chrysanthemum and Xiao Lan that this place was Huazhou, and the building was the largest brothel in Huazhou.
Moreover, Huazhou was leagues away from the Capital City.
If she truly wanted Xuan to come and rescue her, it was nothing but a delusion.
But how could a weak woman like her, along with the young Xiao Zi, hope to leave this place? It was easier said than done!
Was she really destined to be trapped here for a lifetime, as a woman in a brothel, subject to the whims of countless men?
Would she truly never see Xuan again?
The thought made Xin'er’s heart clench painfully, as if it were being squeezed tightly.
Her sparkling beautiful eyes were now filled with tears, swirling around in her eye sockets before finally spilling over like pearls from a broken string, cascading down her cheeks.
After sobbing helplessly for a long time, Xin'er slowly withdrew her gaze and turned it toward a flowerpot on the windowsill.
In that flowerpot grew flowers she had never seen before.
These flowers resembled daffodils, with long, lush green leaves; however, their blossoms were a vibrant red, akin to roses—beautiful and enchanting!
Xin'er had never encountered such flowers before, and soon found herself captivated by them.
She walked closer and began to gaze at the stunning blooms illuminated by the night.
As Xin'er approached the flowerpot, she realized that not only were these red flowers beautiful, but they also emitted a rich fragrance that was intoxicating. She couldn't help but inhale deeply, gradually becoming reluctant to leave.
Xin'er lost track of time as she sat by the window, inhaling the sweet scent of the flowers…
Later, perhaps feeling tired, she gradually drifted into a dream...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the **building—
“A Yao, I heard that the day before yesterday you spent a thousand taels of silver to buy a woman. Is that true!?”
In a lavishly decorated room, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothing lounged lazily on a Palace Couch.
On either side of him were four alluring women, dressed provocatively and beautifully, who were massaging his back, kneading his shoulders, peeling grapes, and feeding him fine wine, making for quite a lively scene!
This man was none other than the Huazhou Prefect, the behind-the-scenes figure of this **building, Hua Tiancheng!
Not only did this **building have Hua Tiancheng's backing, but he was also one of its shareholders.
So after hearing his subordinate's report, Hua Tiancheng couldn't help but ask this question while enjoying himself here.
He was well aware of A Yao's character; she was shrewd and meticulous, managing this **building with great efficiency.
Thus, Hua Tiancheng had great trust in the woman before him.
Moreover, as far as he knew, A Yao was not someone who engaged in losing ventures. For instance, she had purchased the current Courtesan for eight hundred taels of silver.
The woman's beauty was like that of a celestial being, and he had enjoyed her company for several nights.
He couldn't help but wonder if A Yao had truly bought another woman for a thousand taels—was she really more beautiful than the current Courtesan?
As Hua Tiancheng pondered this in his mind, Sister Yao, standing before him, naturally understood his thoughts upon hearing his words.
After all, they had been cooperating for quite some time and were well acquainted with each other's personalities.
Therefore, Sister Yao did not hide anything; instead, she waved her silk handkerchief and smiled as she spoke.
"Your news travels fast! Indeed, just the other day, I spent a fortune to bring a girl back, and now she’s staying in the courtyard behind the **Building!"
"Haha, I trust A Yao's judgment. Spending a thousand taels on a girl means she must be stunning! Come on, take me to see her!"
At this point, Hua Tiancheng became interested.
After all, what man in the world isn't fond of beautiful women?
However, upon hearing Hua Tiancheng's words, Sister Yao hesitated.
She knew Hua Tiancheng well—he was fond of wealth and beauty, and when it came to women, he didn’t treat them with tenderness!
The last time she carefully trained a Courtesan, he had played with her for several nights and nearly ruined her. Now, the girl she was selling was even more beautiful than the last one—she was a true treasure!
If Hua Tiancheng were to toy with her for a few nights, wouldn’t that be a loss for her!?
Thinking of this, Sister Yao felt conflicted inside, but her face bloomed with a smile as she said, "Oh, my lord, don’t be so impatient. That girl has caught a cold and is probably asleep right now. How about I nurse her back to health first and then bring her to you?"
"Oh, she's sick!?"
Hua Tiancheng asked in confusion.
"Yes, she has fallen ill," Sister Yao confirmed immediately.
In any case, she wasn’t ready to let Hua Tiancheng see Xin'er. After all, such a precious gem was rare—especially since she was still untouched.
She was very confident that she could train Xin'er into a new Courtesan. By then, profits would flow into the **Building like never before!
Upon reaching this point, Sister Yao felt a surge of joy within her.
At that moment, it seemed as if countless treasures of gold and silver were falling from the sky.
However, Hua Tiancheng's next words caused Sister Yao's expression to change slightly—
"Don't worry, I'm just going to take a look. Let's go!"
Clearly, Hua Tiancheng had no intention of missing out on this woman and didn't care whether Sister Yao was willing or not. He stood up first and headed toward the backyard.
Seeing this, Sister Yao felt reluctant in her heart but had no choice but to follow him.
After all, she couldn't afford to offend such a person!
...
Xin'er felt as if she had only slept for a short while when she sensed someone approaching. She slowly woke up and slightly opened her eyes.
As she opened her eyes and saw the man suddenly appearing before her, she was immediately startled, and a wave of joy surged through her heart.
Before her stood a man dressed in luxurious attire, exuding an air of nobility.
His handsome and resolute face bore a charming smile as he quietly gazed at her.
Looking at this familiar face, Xin'er felt both happiness and grievance in her heart.
Her nose tingled, and her eyes grew warm as tears began to flow down her cheeks once again.
However, she couldn't care less about her tears. She quickly stood up from the stool, wanting to rush toward the familiar man.
Yet, just as her feet touched the ground, she felt as if all her strength had been drained away, rendering her unable to move at all.
Her body went limp, and she collapsed straight to the ground.
Fortunately, the man in front of her was quick-witted and caught her in his arms.
Seeing this, Xin'er felt a sense of relief and slowly closed her eyes, taking a deep breath to savor the man's scent.
However, at that moment, Xin'er sensed that something was off.
Because while Xuan always carried a pleasant Magnolia fragrance, the man before her reeked of strong alcohol and body odor, which was utterly repulsive!
What on earth was going on!?
