56: Brothel Street, Qingyun Tower
"Their wine is also a marvel, rich in flavor and potent!"
Sang Xilin pointed at Qingyun Tower, speaking non-stop.
"Not only is their wine rich, but their dishes are also exceptionally delicious!"
"Alright, then let's go to their place." Chen Heng nodded and walked towards Qingyun Tower.
"Quick, quick, quick, Master Chen is here, hurry and greet him at the entrance!" The Madam, who had been secretly observing, saw Chen Heng walking towards her establishment and quickly called the Prostitutes out to welcome the guest.
"Tsk, what kind of luck did Qingyun Tower stumble upon? Master Chen actually went to their place."
The Madams of the other brothels secretly gnashed their teeth, filled with envy.
Qingyun Tower had truly latched onto a powerful patron this time; its popularity was sure to skyrocket.
"Master Chen honors us with his presence; this humble woman is endlessly grateful."
The Madam, who was at least forty or fifty years old, curtsied to Chen Heng.
"..." Chen Heng, with a look of distaste, pushed her away and walked into Qingyun Tower on his own.
Looking at the Prostitutes around him, Chen Heng suddenly understood why Qingyun Tower was the best brothel on Goulan Street.
Tall or short, fat or thin, mature or young—it could be said that all types were covered.
As long as one's preferences were somewhat normal, they could find their desired type here.
"Don't just stand there, hurry and bring our aged wine to Master Chen." The Madam, not angry at being ignored by Chen Heng, kicked the Pimp beside her and instructed him.
"Master Chen, just pick whoever you like, and the bill will be on me."
"If you don't fancy them, this humble one will directly have Hundred Flowers come out to serve you."
The Madam walked beside Chen Heng, constantly fawning over him.
The Hundred Flowers she spoke of was precisely Qingyun Tower's top courtesan, the renowned Hundred Flowers Fairy.
Rumor had it that no man could resist her beauty and temperament; they would even squander their fortunes just to see her once.
If one could even share Hundred Flowers' bed, they would spare no effort, even their heart and liver.
"Just pick two, and bring me good wine and good food."
Chen Heng was not interested in the courtesan; he hadn't had dinner yet.
One must know that, with Chen Heng's rapid growth in cultivation and Qi and blood, his daily food intake had also doubled.
Currently, the most exhausted people in the Chen family were the few cooks, busy from early morning until dark.
"Alright, alright, I understand it all." The Madam nodded repeatedly and immediately arranged for the kitchen to start cooking.
"Lady Bai and Lady Liu, quickly come and accompany Master Chen!"
The Madam called over two girls, one tall and one short, one mature and one young, one plump and one slender.
"Master Chen~" The two girls immediately embraced Chen Heng's arms, calling out in a seductive voice.
A normal man would have his bones turn to jelly in such a situation, but Chen Heng was not normal.
He remained expressionless, naturally taking a seat in a private booth on the first floor, awaiting the arrival of the delicacies.
The two girls also encountered such a client for the first time, one who showed no reaction to them.
"Quick! Don't wait, hurry and prepare the song and dance!"
Seeing Chen Heng unmoved, the Madam secretly thought it was not good.
This kind of guest was the most difficult to serve.
Extremely high status, and extremely picky taste.
More importantly, he had to be served comfortably; otherwise, not only would Qingyun Tower's reputation be ruined, but whether it could continue operating on Goulan Street would also be a problem.
"Go quickly and invite Hundred Flowers down; it's estimated that only she can serve Master Chen."
The Madam called over a Pimp and told him to go to the attic to invite the courtesan.
Soon, the song and dance performance began.
Listening to the familiar and unfamiliar tunes, Chen Heng gradually relaxed.
"Master Chen, come have a drink." Lady Liu, slender and delicate, held up a cup of wine and fed it to Chen Heng's lips.
Chen Heng naturally enjoyed all of this, without any burden.
He wouldn't be like some overly sensitive Transmigrators who talked about human rights and equality.
As long as I have no morals, I will have no pressure.
"Where's the food? Tell the kitchen to hurry up!" Unlike Chen Heng, who was currently enjoying himself, the Madam was under immense pressure.
Watching Chen Heng drink cup after cup, with only a few cold dishes on the table, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
Not long after she urged them, more than a dozen Maidservants came out carrying a total of twenty-six dishes.
"Master Chen, please start with these dishes; the remaining ones are still being prepared in the kitchen."
The Madam wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked over with a smile.
"Not bad, I'm quite satisfied." Chen Heng glanced at the dishes on the table and nodded.
It seemed this Qingyun Tower usually entertained many martial artists, knowing they had large appetites and liked meat.
Except for two vegetable dishes to cleanse the palate, all the rest were meat dishes.
And the portions were generous, enough to satisfy Chen Heng for a bit.
Lady Bai and Lady Liu wanted to pick up food and feed Chen Heng, but he pushed them aside.
Chen Heng, holding a wine jar in his left hand and chopsticks in his right, began to devour the food like a whirlwind.
An entire pork hock disappeared into Chen Heng's stomach in two bites.
A jar of aged fine wine vanished with a gulp.
Soon, the dishes on the table were gone without a trace.
Also gone were the six jars of fine wine, each worth a hundred taels of silver.
Chen Heng wiped his mouth, returning to his previous calm and composed demeanor.
"Your food tastes good, I like it very much."
Just this one sentence filled the Madam with immense joy.
"Thank you for your kind words, Master Chen; this humble one is endlessly grateful."
Just then, a gasp of surprise spread through the surroundings.
"Hundred Flowers Fairy, that's Hundred Flowers Fairy!"
A guest pointed at a woman slowly descending the stairs and exclaimed.
"She's actually out! Quickly, go home and get money; I must win her favor today!"
"Don't even think about it; Hundred Flowers Fairy was probably called down by the Madam to serve Vice Envoy Chen."
"How many lives do you have to dare snatch someone from Vice Envoy Chen?"
"Then, then I can at least look, right!"
Hearing the exclamations around him, Chen Heng also became curious about how beautiful this Hundred Flowers Fairy truly was.
How could she captivate them so much?
He turned around and saw a young woman with a veil over her face walking towards him.
"This humble one, Hundred Flowers, greets Master Chen."
Hundred Flowers' eyes were like autumn waters; merely blinking was enough to steal one's soul.
Not only that, her slender waist that could be held in one hand and her delicate, fair skin were equally alluring.
"Sister Hundred Flowers." Lady Bai and Lady Liu, seeing Hundred Flowers approach, quickly stood up and moved aside.
"You are Hundred Flowers?" Chen Heng scrutinized Hundred Flowers from top to bottom.
"Replying to Master Chen, it is indeed this humble one." Hundred Flowers curtsied and gently sat beside Chen Heng.
Chen Heng twitched his nose twice, and his gaze towards Hundred Flowers became somewhat strange.
Leaning close to Hundred Flowers' ear, Chen Heng asked a question.
"Why don't you take off your veil? Are you afraid of being recognized as a demon?"
