129: Chapter 129: The Red Chamber

Walking out of the sleeping quarters, Bai Linger still had teary eyes.

Xiao Ran wrapped his arm around her shoulders, comforting her softly.

"Don't cry, your father will be fine."

Bai Linger leaned on his shoulder.

"Young Master Xiao... I..."

Xiao Ran patted her back.

"I know, I know everything."

The two walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and headed back along the street.

The street was still chaotic, with the City Guard busy clearing debris and treating the wounded.

Bai Linger suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Ran looked at her.

"What is it?"

Bai Linger bit her lip, hesitating for a moment.

"I... I want to go find someone."

Xiao Ran raised an eyebrow.

"Who?"

"An old acquaintance of mine."

Bai Linger said in a low voice.

"She... she is more knowledgeable about these matters, and I want to ask her how... how to..."

She was thin-skinned and found it hard to continue for a moment.

After all, yesterday, she was still an innocent maiden.

Hearing this and observing Bai Linger's expression, Xiao Ran understood instantly.

She was going to ask for advice on bedroom arts!

He found it amusing, but kept a straight face.

"Go ahead, come back early."

Bai Linger nodded and turned to leave in a hurry.

Xiao Ran watched her back and shook his head.

Even if you ask for advice on bedroom arts, it's useless!

Can you get pregnant using your hand?

...

Bai Linger bid farewell to Xiao Ran and walked eastward along the street by herself.

After passing through a few small alleys, the view suddenly opened up.

This was a street along the river, where over a dozen gorgeously decorated pleasure boats were moored on the water.

The pleasure boats were brightly lit and decorated, with the faint sound of string and bamboo instruments drifting over, forming a sharp contrast to the miserable state of the ruins in the city.

"The money pit of White Emperor City."

Bai Linger whispered to herself.

This was where the red boats were located.

Although White Emperor City had suffered a great disaster, most of these pleasure boats were moored on the river, so the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's rampage hadn't affected them much.

She walked up to the largest pleasure boat and looked up.

The pleasure boat was three stories high, with carved beams and painted pillars, and red lanterns hanging from the eaves, inscribed with two gilded characters.

Hongfang!

"Is Sister Liu here?"

Bai Linger called out softly.

A moment later, a woman dressed in red emerged from the pleasure boat.

She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, looking bright and moving.

Her pair of peach blossom eyes held a smile, her figure was graceful, and her every movement carried a mature charm.

Moreover, her cultivation was not weak either.

Middle Stage Golden Core.

"Oh, isn't this Linger?"

The woman raised an eyebrow, a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"What wind blew you over to my place?"

Bai Linger's face flushed slightly.

"Sister Liu, I... I have something to ask you."

Liu Hongxiu looked at her appearance, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

It was perfect; she also needed to inquire about some information from Bai Linger.

"Come in."

The two entered the pleasure boat.

...

Inside the pleasure boat, in an elegant private room.

Liu Hongxiu poured tea herself and pushed it in front of Bai Linger.

"Speak, what is it?"

Bai Linger held the teacup, stuttering.

Liu Hongxiu was not in a hurry, just looking at her with a smile.

After a long while, Bai Linger finally spoke.

"Sister Liu, I... I want to ask you about some... some matters."

Liu Hongxiu raised an eyebrow.

"What matters?"

Bai Linger's face turned red to the tips of her ears.

"It's... it's... matters between men and women."

Liu Hongxiu was stunned.

Then, she laughed.

Laughing until she shook.

"Hahaha! Linger, you actually came to ask me about this?"

Bai Linger's face turned even redder.

"Sister Liu, don't laugh..."

Liu Hongxiu laughed even more wildly.

Having finally caught this opportunity, how could she not laugh?

"You are the Young Miss of White Emperor City, an ice-pure and jade-clean Fairy, how could you suddenly be interested in these matters?"

"Could it be... for that husband of yours?"

She laughed for a while, then suddenly leaned closer to Bai Linger and asked in a low voice.

Bai Linger nodded.

"Interesting."

"What kind of man is he, that you've been tuned into this state after only knowing him for a few days?"

Liu Hongxiu leaned back in her chair, her smile undiminished.

Bai Linger didn't get angry at these words.

After all, she was usually this way, and everyone was used to it.

"So you came to ask me this... wanting to learn how to please him?"

Bai Linger's face turned red again, but she still nodded.

Liu Hongxiu laughed.

"Alright, since you've asked, Sister will teach you."

She suddenly straightened up and said seriously.

"Before learning this, you must first understand one thing: men as a species are complex, yet they are also simple."

Bai Linger listened intently.

Liu Hongxiu continued.

"What they like most is nothing more than two things."

"Which two things?"

"Freshness and a sense of conquest."

Bai Linger was thoughtful.

Liu Hongxiu said.

"You usually hold yourself with the airs of a Young Miss, cold and noble, which is your advantage."

"But if you keep holding that pose, he will find it boring instead."

"So, you need to occasionally... let it down."

Bai Linger asked.

"How to let it down?"

Liu Hongxiu smiled mysteriously.

"For example... changing your clothes."

She stood up, walked to the wardrobe on the side, and opened the door.

Inside hung all kinds of dresses and skirts.

There were dignified ones, charming ones, sexy ones, and even... transparent ones.

Bai Linger's face heated up and her heart raced as she looked.

"This... this is too..."

Liu Hongxiu took out a red, thin gauze long dress and handed it to her.

"Try this."

Bai Linger took it, and when her fingers touched the fabric, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, she felt completely flustered.

"This... how do I wear this?"

Liu Hongxiu laughed.

"That's exactly how you are meant to wear it."

She leaned into Bai Linger's ear and whispered a few words.

Bai Linger's face became redder and redder.

...

One hour later.

Bai Linger walked out of the red boat with an extra bundle in her hand.

Liu Hongxiu stood at the bow of the boat, waving at her.

"Remember, be a bit more proactive, don't be shy."

"Men, you know, they fall for this."

Bai Linger nodded and left in a hurry.

Liu Hongxiu watched her back, a flash of curiosity in her eyes.

"Xiao Ran..."

She whispered to herself.

"To be able to make my ice-pure and jade-clean Young Miss Bai voluntarily throw herself into his arms..."

"Interesting."
