Li Chengfeng stormed towards Luo Mei Residence while Xiaobao grumbled in his heart. He could only follow beside him, wanting to persuade him but afraid of angering his young master.
However, Li Chengfeng had completely underestimated the commotion caused by his funeral. The moment he stepped into Xilian Bridge, the entire Xilian Lake and Cailian Alley were in an uproar.
"Aiyo, isn't this the Young Master Li who is easy to find and hard to find a lover?
Quick quick quick, come in, come in!
Ever since Yumei came back from Zhixi's funeral, she hasn't been able to forget you! "
"Pfft pfft pfft, you're not good at the zither, how can you compare to me? Young Master, do you want to come to my room and let me play a song for you?"
"You slut from Ping Zhou City? You're good at both the zither and the flute?
What kind of song are you playing?
Can you even play it loud?
Young Master Li, why don't you listen to me sing you a song? "
"Pfft, what's so good about a song? Why don't you let me play for you?"
Li Chengfeng was a stingy man in the brothels. Although he was handsome, he had never encountered such a frenzied fight for him.
However, when news of him burying Liu Zhixi spread, not only did the prostitutes in Cheng 'an City go crazy, the prostitutes in the surrounding counties and prefectures went crazy too. They all rushed to Cheng' an City, fighting to see the lovestruck Li Chengfeng's face.
In an instant, Cailian Alley was filled with beauties. In the past, it was the men who fought to see the beauties but now, it was the beauties who fought to see Li Chengfeng.
Most importantly, for these prostitutes who fought openly and secretly in daily life, whoever could win the love of the infatuated Young Master Li after Liu Zhixi would immediately become famous in the four states and five counties, and become the most famous prostitute!
Therefore, to fight for this position, the beauties did everything they could. Before Li Chengfeng even entered Cailian Alley, they all swarmed to fight for him.
Qiu Liansheng, who had come to watch the show, was dumbfounded. He stroked his unshaven chin and said, "What the f * ck, a pretty boy is really popular!"
Even though Li Chengfeng was skilled in martial arts, he was still being squeezed left and right, sweating profusely. He struggled to squeeze his way through the crowd of girls, Xiaobao was left behind, crying pitifully, "Young Master, Young Master!"
Li Chengfeng turned around to see Xiaobao being pulled by a group of girls. His clothes were disheveled and he was being taken advantage of. Although he was furious, he could not help but laugh. "Hey, he's still a virgin, you guys should be more gentle!"
The eyes of the girls who had been eyeing Xiaobao's' beauty 'all lit up, and they became more and more entangled. Some of the girls surrounding Li Chengfeng also looked at Xiaobao curiously. Li Chengfeng instantly felt the pressure on him lessen, and he quickly squeezed out of the crowd. The heartless young master unceremoniously abandoned Xiaobao, and turned to leave.
Qiu Liansheng also squeezed in, wanting to take advantage of the situation, but wherever he went, the pretty girls there were like waves automatically parting, uniformly making way for him. Qiu Liansheng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him.
Qiu Liansheng walked resentfully out of the crowd and came to a deserted corner. He glanced at Li Chengfeng, who still had a lingering fear in his heart, and cursed, "What the f * ck, these b * stards only know how to like pretty boys!
Brother, I didn't mean to scold you! "
Li Chengfeng smiled awkwardly.
Qiu Liansheng said, "If I had a good face, I'd let these b * tches lick my balls every day!
It's just a good face!
Sigh, brother, I really didn't mean to scold you! "
Li Chengfeng: "..."
Qiu Liansheng said, "These b * tches judge a book by its cover, don't they know pretty boys are unfaithful?
Sigh, brother, I'm definitely not talking about you! "
Furious, Li Chengfeng kicked Qiu Liansheng's butt. Qiu Liansheng covered his butt and laughed. "Brother, you took advantage of me, can't you let me have some fun?"
Li Chengfeng raged, "Cut the crap, what do we do now?"
Qiu Liansheng smiled. "We can't go through the main entrance, let's go through the side entrance."
The two of them took a long detour and found a secluded path to pass through. Then, they arrived at Sumei Fairy's attic.
Li Chengfeng saw a carriage he had never seen before at the entrance. It was huge and spacious, taking up almost half the road when it stopped in front of the loft. Li Chengfeng walked up to take a closer look. The carriage was made of expensive pine wood, even the sides of the wheels were engraved with intricate carvings. Li Chengfeng looked into the carriage through the open window. There was a huge white tiger pelt, incense in the corner, and precious paintings, antiques, and jewellery everywhere.
Li Chengfeng was shocked. "Where did this rich merchant come from?"
Qiu Liansheng looked too and was shocked. "What a luxurious carriage!
Tsk tsk, if I had one like this, my life would be worth it! "
Li Chengfeng glanced at him. "Are you sure Zhou Anyang is inside?"
Qiu Liansheng pursed his lips, lifted his chin, and pointed at the side entrance. "Why don't you go ask him yourself?"
Li Chengfeng turned his head to look and saw a pimp scolding and beating a servant girl in another alley. The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old and was skinny. She only wore two thin layers of clothing in the early winter. She was shivering from the cold and her lips had turned blue.
The pimp grabbed her hair and pulled. "How dare you steal Young Master Liu's silver!
You filthy thing, if I didn't have a pair of bright eyes, you would've stolen the chicken! "
The servant did not dare to yell. She grabbed the pimp's hands and sobbed. "Young Master Liu gave it to me, I didn't steal it!"
The pimp raged, "Are you saying I'm blind?"
The servant did not dare to answer. She shook her head as she cried but her hair hurt again. She only moved her head slightly.
The pimp said, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Do you think Young Master Liu would reward you with silver?
Do you think you're Lady Sumei? "
The servant sobbed softly. "It really was Young Master Liu, he asked me to put in a good word for him, I …"
The pimp interrupted, "I stole it!"
Li Chengfeng understood. The pimp was jealous of Young Master Liu's reward and wanted to take the girl's silver. The pimp had a bad reputation in Cheng 'an City because he liked to meddle in other people's business. He laughed coldly and stepped forward.
The pimp stretched out his hand and yelled, "Hand over the silver!"
How could this little girl bear to part with the money? There were five taels of silver, enough for her family to live frugally for a month, and even enough for them to buy a new set of clothes. But the unreasonable pimp was demanding money, so she didn't dare to say anything. At this moment, under the tyranny of the pimp, she could only cry and tremble as she took out the silver from her bosom. Although her body was shivering from the cold, the silver was boiling hot.
The pimp was about to take it when he felt a sharp pain in his ear. Someone had yanked it to the side. He immediately let go of her hair and reached out to grab his ear.
"Hey hey hey, which son of a bitch dares to touch your big …" Gui Gong's ear was torn to the point of bleeding, and he cursed loudly. He was pulled to look behind him, and what he saw shocked him so much that he swallowed the rest of his words.
Li Chengfeng said with a half-smile, "Say it, finish what you're going to say. You still want to be my master?"
The pimp smiled apologetically. "Oh, so it's Master Li, I wouldn't dare!"
Li Chengfeng pulled hard and the pimp cried out in pain. "You mean I'm deaf?"
The pimp's ear hurt but he had to smile. His smile was uglier than crying. "No, no."
Li Chengfeng chuckled coldly and took out a silver ingot from his pocket. He threw it to the dumbfounded maid. "This is for you." Then he said to the pimp, "Did you see that?
Did she steal this silver from me? "
The pimp did not dare answer. He smiled and endured the pain, shaking his head slightly.
Li Chengfeng nodded at the maid, then said to the pimp, "If I can give it to her, why can't Master Liu give it to her?"
The pimp groaned inwardly, thinking that this Young Master Li was being a busybody. There were so many things in the world, how could an old man like him handle all of them?
But who asked him to step on the tip of the spear?
The pimp smiled apologetically. "Yes yes yes, perhaps it's time for me to change."
Li Chengfeng chuckled and looked at the maid. "Why are you still standing here?
You want me to give you something?
Let me tell you, don't be so greedy at such a young age! "
The maid jumped and quickly knelt down to kowtow. "Thank you, Master Li." She stood up but did not leave. Instead, she looked at the pimp with a troubled expression.
The pimp had been in brothels for a long time so he was very smart. He quickly said, "Perhaps I wronged you just now, please accept the silver.
I won't cause you any trouble in the future, or I'll be struck by lightning! "
The maid heaved a sigh of relief but Li Chengfeng pulled hard on his ear, causing him to yelp in pain. "Don't try to act dumb in front of me. I'm telling you, if she loses a single hair in the future, I'll blame it on you, do you hear me?!"
The pimp felt bitter. He had indeed decided that he would not cause trouble for her personally, but he would get someone else to do so. However, Li Chengfeng's sharp eyes could see through his plan. Hence, he had no choice but to give up on the idea of revenge.
The maid looked gratefully at Li Chengfeng. "Thank you, benefactor. I will repay your kindness in the future!"
Li Chengfeng waved his hand nonchalantly, gesturing for her to leave. The girl did not dare to stay any longer, nor did she dare to return to the brothel. She turned and ran back home, hiding the silver she had just obtained.
Li Chengfeng let go of the pimp's hand and patted his shoulder. "Let me ask you, is Tong 'an's Zhou Qingyang inside?"
The pimp heaved a sigh of relief, not daring to rub his burning ear. He grinned. "Yes, yes, he's inside."
