Chen You asked in puzzlement, “Wasn’t Second Pup’s mother taken captive into the mountains?”
The system said, “Are people not allowed to run down the mountain by themselves?”
“…,” Chen You said, “Since she ran down the mountain, why didn’t she go back home then? She even had an affair with a man that’s not Second Pup’s father?”
The system replied, “Didn’t you see how Second Pup’s father looked like?”
Chen You was speechless.
Second Pup’s father was missing an arm and was a rough man. Meanwhile, that woman had a pretty face and was charming. She has long turned her back on him and took the opportunity to run away.
She didn’t even care about her son?
Seems like true love ah. She would rather watch over a medicine jar1Referring to someone sick, in this case the coughing man. and sell her body to buy him medicine than go home.
Chen You walked in the direction of Qing Feng Lou. Second Pup must have felt terrible. He found his mother, but not only did the other party not recognize him, she was also getting it on with other men and even called him a fool.
If this happened to anyone else, they would also feel terrible.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Second Pup was quite pitiful. Chen You hastened his pace, wanting to go buy some tofu pudding. However, the shop was unexpectedly closed. In the end, he could only buy a handful of candied fried chestnuts.
When he returned, the child was already asleep. His body was all curled up as if he lacked a sense of security.
Chen You placed the candied chestnuts next to the bed and silently withdrew.
The moment the door closed, the child’s eyeballs moved under his eyelids. He didn’t open his eyes, but his body shrank into a ball, and his spine under his thin back looked as if it was about to pierce through the layer of clothes.
The child refused to even come down to eat his meals every day. So, Chen You asked Spring Peach to give preferential treatment and personally cook some good meals for the kid. He has completely immersed himself into the role of a father.
Master Wang’s birthday was getting closer and closer, and the number of outsiders in the city was increasing.
Chen You loitered around outside the second worst brothel in Jiang city which was Cui Ming Lou. This business situation was a little different from Qing Feng Lou, they had a slightly better location, but it was also this location that brought their ruin.
There was a corner next to Cui Ming Lou that could serve as shelter from the wind and rain. Since it was warm in winter and cool in summer, beggars like to go there and cuddle as a group. Even after they were chased away, they kept returning again and again.
Think about it this way, the guests were obviously happy to come, however, how can they have the mood for fvcking when they see the beggars?
As time dragged on without the situation improving, Cui Ming Lou’s business started to take a dive.
Chen You squatted for a while before seeing a rich old man coming out of the building with a coquettish person in his arms, followed by an aunty, who had the face of a pimp and walked like a pimp as well.
The coquettish person called out to the aunty, repeatedly saying Mama. He said a few words and then the rich old man impatiently threw a few notes of silver towards the aunty, making the aunty extremely happy.
Honestly, if it was Chen You, he would also be happy.
With a sigh, he thought to himself. Really different ah. At least the other party has a rich old man. He, on the other hand, only has flies at his place. Right, he also has four big kids and one small kid, all were fvcking worrisome.
Seems like a cooperation couldn’t be discussed anymore.
Chen You wandered around the streets, fully experiencing the flourishing business of his peers. When he went back, he grabbed a few valuable items in the room and pawned them. Then, striking while the iron was hot, he assigned two maids to each of the three; Summer, Autumn and Winter.
With such an arrangement, each of their identities became more prestigious. In the future, they would become the top courtesans in Qing Feng Lou.
Summer, Autumn and Winter went to receive their two maids each as if they were floating in the clouds.
Chen You got someone to fetch a brush and papers. He wrote down four words. “Winter Date, this is yours. Later on, I will make it into a plaque and hang it outside your door.”
Winter Date glanced over and found that it wrote: Cloud to the Ninth Heavens.
Chen You once again raised his brush and dramatically wrote “Reverse Yin and Yang”. Then he said, “Autumn Orange, this is yours.”
Autumn Orange2This is Qiu Ju received it with a blush on his face.
Summer Pear3Xia Li who was initially staring at the peach on the table later realized that he had been left out. “Master, what Autumn Orange and Winter Date have, this Servant wants it too. ”
Chen You put down his brush. “You don’t have the skills4I’m assuming 家领 (guard collar/family neck?) is a homonym for 驾龄 (length of experience as a driver). Which in a superduperroundabout way, could really be meant as skills in the sex department..”
Xia Li stood up emotionally, “This Servant has it.”
With a face of disdain, Chen You said, “It’s the amount of food you eat, isn’t it? Okay, just go wash that peach and go to the side to eat it.”
Xia Li subconsciously went to get the peach but stopped. “That’s not it, this Servant not only can eat steamed buns but also other things.”
Summer Rice Bucket, I really cannot communicate with you. Chen You waved his hand. “Yeah I know, you can eat anything.” With just a bit of vegetable soup mixed in, you can finish a large bowl of rice.
Xia Li bit his lips. “Master, do you still not understand what this Servant is trying to say?”
Chen You turned around and walked towards the stairs. “I understand already. Go and wash the peach now.”
Xia Li chased after him and with a very small voice, he elaborated, “Master, this time, what this Servant meant about being able to eat well not only refers to meals, but also to customers. This Servant can take two at once and at other times, this Servant can even add in one more.”
Chen You abruptly came to a halt. He didn’t dare believe it and turned around in pleasant surprise. Oh my good little brother, why didn’t you explain properly? Brother almost lost you. “Two Dragons Playing with Pearl, this is for you.”
Xia Li cheerfully smiled. “Thank you, Master.”
The curtains were pushed aside and Spring Peach walked over slowly. He wanted to say something but was hesitant. Finally, with a constipated-like serious face, he said, “Master, this Servant has something to tell you.”
“You came just in time.” Chen You examined his pretty little face. “You can change your clothes and go back to your old job. I will hire someone else for the kitchen and miscellaneous chores.”
Spring Peach’s eyes reddened. “Master…”
Chen You raised a hand to stop him. “Spring Peach, the next time you don’t control your mouth properly, Qing Feng Lou will not keep you again.”
Spring Peach replied in all seriousness, “Master, don’t worry. In the future, the kid will be treated as if he were this Servant’s own younger brother, this Servant will not let anyone bully him!”
Chen You patted his shoulder. Give up ba, that brat doesn’t need anyone, he only needs himself.
Three days before Master Wang’s birthday, Chen You hired a few thugs in the city to spread rumors in the streets and alleys, talking about the shady guests’ money and various girls and teenagers in other brothels. Not to mention making their reputation stink, he even managed to successfully muddy the waters.
The day before, several guests from other parts of the country came into the establishment.
It may be that these foreigners grew up with good water and soil, but they were all very robust. As soon as Spring Peach returned to his old job, he was exhausted to the point of being half-dead.
Before these customers leave, Chen You would give them each a small parting gift, which was a jar of wine. Even though it was of low quality, it was still a free gift, so the people’s greed for small bargains were satisfied.
After going back, they would tell their acquaintances that Jiang City has a brothel called Qing Feng Lou and that there were four beautiful young men there. Each of them has a different title and they are also very distinctive from other brothels’ popular escorts5胭脂俗粉: It’s also a derogatory term for an uncultured woman who only knows how to prettify, dress up, and is extremely vulgar without self-restraint..
Human curiosity was a very strange thing. Once such news about these names, that have never before appeared in the brothel industry, came out of nowhere, one could imagine how much of a sensation it became.
Moreover, some people didn’t understand it yet, and with others explaining and adding to their own emotions, the resulting effect was even better.
On the night of Master Wang’s birthday, Qing Feng Lou’s doorstep was stepped on till it became dented.
Chen You sat in his room hugging silver notes while smiling like an idiot.
Money, money, I have lots of money.
The next day, Chen You went out to recruit more people. After all, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were big names, and there must be some mediocre-looking people to keep the balance. He also didn’t forget to order someone to buy a large box and place it in his room.
Chen You didn’t see the child in the room and he had searched around to no avail. When he saw Spring Peach, he asked, “Spring Peach, where’s the child?”
Spring Peach gave a big yawn and replied tiredly, “Master, this Servant just woke up, I haven’t seen anyone.”
Chen You said, “Alright then, go and rest ba.”
Spring Peach took a stack of silver notes out from his sleeves and passed it over. “Master, this Servant was given this by a customer last night.”
While Chen You’s face remained emotionless, he was thinking, stupefied; it was given to you, you should’ve just kept it, why are you passing it to me for?
The system explained, “You are the pimp, and this is the rule.”
Chen You Ooh-ed, thinking that this rule was really amazing. He didn’t do anything unusual and kept the silver notes, giving Spring Peach a silver in exchange. “Do well and this Master will not treat you poorly either.”
Spring Peach was taken aback for a moment, then he became happy the next, leaving with the silver clasped in both hands.
Chen You shook his head, thinking how terrifying a shameless bloodsucking vermin was. “Spring Peach could’ve hidden the silver banknotes, it’s not like I will know.”
The system said, “They were all sold in at a very young age and were indoctrinated with the idea of inferiority. After several beatings, they’ve come to fear instinctively and dare not break the rules.”
While making his way downstairs, Chen You asked, “How’s the mission’s progress?”
The system asked back, “What do you think?”
Hearing that, Chen You almost slipped down the stairs. “Second Pup’s hatred towards me is too deep, I can’t dissolve it.” He’d been occupied with Qing Feng Lou’s matter these few days and had no time to watch the child, so he could only send two people to follow behind him and ensure the child’s safety. Based on the current situation, a heart-to-heart talk and so on with the child was impossible.
The system said, “This shows that you’re not working hard enough.”
Qing Feng Lou was always closed during the day as everyone was sleeping. After a night of endless tossing, even a mad dog would be unbearably tired, not to mention humans.
Chen You walked downstairs under the respectful gazes of his servants which made him feel pretty good. “I don’t know if I can still be a boss in the next world. But even if I’m not a boss, becoming a freelancer with a seven-figure salary in my bank card is pretty good too.”
The system said, “There is no next world if you don’t finish this world.”
Chen You fell as he walked past the doorway.
Seconds later, he stood up under all the servants’ gazes, patted the dust off his clothes and then walked out as if nothing had happened.
The morning market during this time of day was a sight to behold. The fragrance of morning food wafted out from different directions and hovered in the air, arousing the pedestrians’ appetites.
Chen You bought a few meat buns. By the time he finished gobbling them down, he had already reached the door of Second Pup’s mother’s small courtyard.
Not long after, the door opened from the inside and Second Pup’s mother walked out carrying a vegetable basket. When she wasn’t doing her business, she wore plain simple clothes, and her hair was simply put up in a bun without any ornaments. She looked exactly like a normal housewife.
Seeing that she was out, Chen You could guess that Second Pup was not here.
After looking around, Chen You went to the west of the city, but didn’t see any child near the tomb. He took a deep breath in tiredness.
“Second Pup?”
He yelled habitually, but as expected, there was no response. Even if Chen You stood in front of him, he would not say a word.
Chen You found the child near the river. “What are you doing here?”
The child stared at the water, there was no telling what he was thinking.
Chen You reached out to pull the child back, but he accidentally slipped and fell into the river.
Fvck, I can’t swim.
That was his first thought when he fell in. The second was, I’m screwed.
Chen You opened his mouth, and a mouthful of water immediately choked his throat. For the umpteenth time, he regretted not learning how to swim back in the real world.
He also retardedly chose to forget to do so in his mission worlds.
Chen You flailed around in panic in the water while screaming for the system to save him.
The system said, “I do not have such functions at present.”
Chen You, “…” I’m gonna die.
He struggled in the river, feeling that it was getting increasingly difficult to breathe. “Help—Second Pup save—save me—”
The child stood on the shore and looked on indifferently. However, his eyes still showed some other feelings.
Chen You vaguely felt contempt. He was so angry, he wanted to go up and slap the child’s butt. Yet who knew, the moment he lunged, hey, he directly stood up as the water only reached his waist.
Damn it, so embarrassing.
