There were still important matters to attend to. She emerged from the space and looked at the beggar in the room who was already dead, her eyes flickering with a hint of thought. If it weren’t for the urgent situation, she truly wouldn’t have wanted such a disgusting person to dirty her space…
With a wave of her hand, the beggar’s corpse was already on the grass in her space. She took out a set of black martial attire from the space and changed into it, then carefully applied a human skin mask to her face.
Instantly, she transformed into an ordinary, unremarkable man—the kind who would go completely unnoticed in a crowd.
This human skin mask was one of her proudest creations. Thin as a cicada’s wing, it felt like nothing on the face and could be reused. To remove it, she only needed her specially formulated potion, which didn’t harm the skin at all. She had countless masks like this…
Under the cover of night, she swiftly climbed over the wall and left the Prime Minister’s Residence. She needed to find the antidote. With such a powerful golden finger, she didn’t want to die from an explosion or suffocation…
As she walked, she recalled the original owner’s memories. The brothel seemed to be in that direction…
Wait, weren’t brothels only filled with women? There probably weren’t any male escorts here, right?
The original owner had lived deep within the residence’s inner courtyard and rarely went out after her face was disfigured, so she had very little information about such matters.
Well, she had just arrived here and was unfamiliar with everything. She could only rely on luck, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. She decided to head to the brothel first.
Before long, the three large characters "Huaxianlou" came into view. It was a three-story building with an antique charm, surrounded by flowers and greenery. The vibrant blooms truly matched the name "Huaxianlou" perfectly!
She imagined the place must be filled with beautiful women… She couldn’t wait to go inside and take a look.
"Oh dear~ Come in quickly, young master! It’s especially lively in the building today. Our newly arrived girls are all as fresh and lovely as flowers…"
The madam at the entrance, around thirty years old, still retained her charm and seemed well-maintained. From afar, she greeted guests with a smiling face, exuding enthusiasm.
Yun Li walked up and leaned close to the madam’s ear, lowering her voice to ask, "Are there any men inside?"
The madam was momentarily taken aback, then gave Yun Li a knowing look. "Young master, what a coincidence! Usually, we don’t have any, but today we do! Come with me quickly."
…
"Are we really leaving the Prince here in Huaxianlou? What if something goes wrong…?"
"The most dangerous place is the safest! With so many people in Huaxianlou, no one will suspect a thing. The Prince’s residence will likely be in chaos tonight. How many of our brothers died on the way back? There were three groups targeting our Prince. There must be a traitor by the Prince’s side; otherwise, how would they know that the toxins in the Prince’s body flare up on the fifteenth night of every lunar month? This is when the Prince is at his weakest. If we take him back to the residence now, I’m afraid you and I won’t be able to protect him…"
"What should we do now, then?"
"The Prince cannot be approached by women. I’ve asked the madam to find a young attendant. He’ll untie the Prince in a quarter of an hour. By now, the Prince has probably almost endured through the toxin flare-up. Let’s hurry back to the residence and check."
"Then let’s go quickly."
…
After the two shadow guards left, the madam led Yun Li to the end of the corridor and stopped in front of a room.
"Young master, he’s in this room. Go on in."
Yun Li was puzzled. Shouldn’t she have been taken to an empty room first, where a row of handsome men would be presented for her to choose from? Suddenly, a thought struck her—oh right, this was ancient times! The way things were done here was probably different from modern-day clubs where you could pick someone…
The discomfort in her body still drove her to push open the door and enter. As soon as she stepped inside, she heard the madam locking the door from outside, cheerfully saying, "Young master, may you have an unforgettable night at our Huaxianlou!"
Yun Li's lips twitched slightly as she walked through the small parlor toward the inner chamber. The scene inside left her stunned.
A tall, imposing man was tied up to a pillar in the middle of the room. His head hung low, hair disheveled, and his entire body emitted a chilling cold. His clothes were in disarray, revealing hard, well-defined muscles that made her involuntarily swallow.
The man was tied up… Was this… some kind of bondage play? The ancient brothels really knew how to spice things up… Weren’t ancient people supposed to be conservative?
She approached the man, feeling the Flower Passion Poison in her body making every cell scream.
Damn it, this poison actually flared up at the sight of a man, making her uncontrollably want to pounce on him…
If not for her strong self-control and constant suppression of the discomfort, she would have been on the verge of losing control. Before long, she was drenched in sweat again, her mind growing hazy.
She quickly retrieved the Spiritual Spring Water from her space and took a few sips. No matter how unbearable she felt, she wouldn’t lower her standards—at the very least, she had to see what this man looked like…
She lifted the man’s long hair and, upon seeing his face, felt it was a masterpiece carved by gods, so breathtakingly beautiful it was almost sinful. He was simply too good-looking, putting all the young and old male celebrities in the modern entertainment industry to shame.
However, the man’s eyes were tightly shut, his brows furrowed, and the white cold air emanating from his body grew thicker. If not for the slow beating of his heart in his chest, she would have thought he was dead.
But the cold air radiating from the man made her feel more comfortable the closer she got, as there was a burning heat inside her that desperately needed cooling. Yun Li reached out and unconsciously touched the man’s abs, even giving them a few playful squeezes. They were quite firm…
"Tsk tsk~ What a great physique."
The instinctive effect of the poison in her body caused the bound man to suddenly open his eyes. His gaze was deep and piercing, as cold as ice, fixed on Yun Li.
Where did this man come from, daring to take such liberties with him? He must have a death wish. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life.
"Get lost…" Before he could finish, he felt his entire body stiffen, unable to move, and his throat unable to make a sound. Then, the man before him untied him and carried him to the bed.
Ever since Yun Li touched this man, the Flower Passion Poison in her body had spread uncontrollably, and even the Spiritual Spring Water was no longer effective.
Her mind was now screaming wildly, "The antidote! The antidote! Take him! Take him…"
Her body was unbearably hot, her clothes soaked and evaporated by sweat, making her skin flush red. The sticky sensation was truly uncomfortable. In a flurry, she stripped off her own clothes and then clumsily removed the man’s. Before long, the man lay completely naked on the bed, motionless like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Yun Li gazed at the man’s perfect physique, the poison driving her to impatiently climb on top of him and do as she pleased.
Beneath her, the man looked on with humiliation as the woman above him performed indescribable acts.
His innocence had been tainted by this wretched woman, but a sliver of relief crossed his mind—at least it wasn’t a man. Otherwise, he would have wanted to die…
After tonight, he swore he would tear this shameless woman into pieces! A wanton woman who takes advantage of others' vulnerability deserves to be killed a hundred times over!
Today was his humiliation! A lifelong disgrace! And where the hell have An Bai and An Ye gone?
The more he thought about it, the more furious he grew inside. If looks could kill, he would have already sliced this woman into a thousand pieces!
