656: extravagant life

Su Chen didn't mind the Immortal Crystals spent on the bidding, but he didn't feel like spending them if it wasn't necessary.

His conflict with Xu Zhilei was merely a minor disturbance; although many in Liuxiang Residence discussed it afterward, their attention was soon drawn away by the next courtesans.

Liuxiang Residence was once again plunged into a state of excitement.

It had to be said that Liuxiang Residence was very successful; one could only say that the idol-like personas were well-crafted, and since the girls were indeed outstanding, it led to a strong desire for consumption.

Su Chen even felt that Liuxiang Residence was becoming more profitable than the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce.

After just one day, there was no telling how much Liuxiang Residence would earn.

The key was that the tips were pure profit; Liuxiang Residence was already making Spirit Stones from the meals themselves, and while the profit wasn't huge, it at least covered the costs.

These tips were pure gain.

Moreover, others couldn't replicate it; if they tried to imitate, they wouldn't be able to find so many outstanding girls. Furthermore, Liuxiang Residence had a royal background and was the largest in the entire Nine Star Empire, offering such generous treatment that even if other talented girls were considering their options, Liuxiang Residence would definitely be their first choice.

This would create a monopoly.

Even if others wanted to try, they would at most be eating the leftovers of Liuxiang Residence.

Soon, night fell completely, and the performances finally ended; next, the girls of Liuxiang Residence began to receive the top donors from earlier.

Su Chen's meal had also lasted from near noon until late at night.

Overall, however, it was very enjoyable.

In a private room within Liuxiang Residence, Lady Qiulan had changed into a long purple dress; she waited quietly in the room, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Liuxiang Residence taught the girls how to keep the patrons tipping; a private meal like this was an excellent place to cultivate feelings.

What they needed to do was simple: show affection to the patrons.

After all, investing so much just for a meal was enough to show that these people definitely liked them; as long as they gave these patrons a little affection and made them feel they had a chance, the patrons would continue to invest.

Soon.

Su Chen walked in, and seeing him, Lady Qiulan immediately stood up and gave a very proper salute.

"Greetings, Young Master."

Lady Qiulan wore a smile, her entire being exuding a charming and moving aura.

Su Chen nodded with a smile and then began to order food, followed by casual conversation with Lady Qiulan. Lady Qiulan also knew that her financial future was tied to Su Chen, so she was very flattering, trying to get closer to him.

Throughout the conversation, nearly seventy to eighty percent of the time, it was Qiulan actively finding topics.

Later, she even performed a solo dance for Su Chen; watching Qiulan's dance moves up close, Su Chen felt a fire burning in his chest.

His emotions began to stir again.

Fortunately, he suppressed the Great Dao of Dual Cultivation, so it had no effect on Qiulan.

This Liuxiang Residence was not a brothel; it wasn't a place where you could do as you pleased. If you wanted something to happen with the girls, you had to take them away—meaning the girl had to take a liking to you and be willing to leave with you.

Furthermore, girls who lost their virginity could no longer stay at Liuxiang Residence.

Qiulan's dance moves were elegant and not cliché, yet they exuded a variety of charms; every smile and glance carried an indescribable allure.

After the meal.

Su Chen left in a hurry; watching him depart, Qiulan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly, thinking this Young Master was truly quite interesting.

Qiulan returned to the backyard where the girls lived; the top ten headliners all resided in Liuxiang Residence. There were ten very fine courtyards in the backyard with complete facilities, and it was very safe, as no one dared to cause trouble there.

Most importantly, they could live there for free without spending any Immortal Crystals.

In addition, there was another building specifically for the other girls; the environment wasn't as good, with each person having a single room of about seventy to eighty square meters.

Quite a few girls didn't mind and lived directly in Liuxiang Residence.

Seeing Qiulan return, they all came forward and asked curiously, "Sister Qiulan, why didn't you chat a bit longer? Why are you back so soon?"

"I'm so envious of Sister Qiulan, meeting such a wealthy Young Master."

"Exactly, we probably wouldn't earn as much in half a year as Sister Qiulan makes in a day."

"More than half a year; I've been here for five years and still haven't earned as much as Sister Qiulan did today."

Not every girl in Liuxiang Residence could earn this much; normally, a tip of ten or twenty million Top-grade Immortal Crystals would already be considered a lot.

For some more ordinary girls, their total tips might only amount to three or five hundred thousand, and some even only ten or eighty thousand. Plus, they only got thirty percent, so how could they compare to Qiulan earning a billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals in a day?

The gap was simply too vast.

Qiulan also said very modestly, "Not at all; if it weren't for Young Master Xu provoking this other Young Master, I wouldn't have received so many benefits. I can only say my luck was quite good."

A group of girls immediately gathered to chat.

The next day.

Su Chen arrived at Liuxiang Residence; he came in the morning and found a seat in the Heaven-rank section.

The Heaven-rank section was much better than the Earth-rank section; it had individual partitions and some simple furniture, with a very comfortable lounge chair placed there. Lying on it, one could see the entire stage perfectly.

Su Chen just lay there quietly, staying for the whole day before leaving at night.

For the next few days, he continued to do the same.

Liuxiang Residence was very pleasant, making Su Chen feel completely relaxed; the feeling of luxury and dissipation made him a bit intoxicated. Previously, Su Chen hadn't realized that this kind of life could be so relaxing.

Lying on the lounge chair in the Heaven-rank section, watching the dancing and eating; Liuxiang Residence also had specialized girls for massages, though there was a fee. Su Chen called someone to massage him every day and enjoyed it very much.

Three days passed.

It was once again time for the girls' performance.

Although Liuxiang Residence was usually busy, today was the busiest; the number of people was basically triple the usual, and the entire Liuxiang Residence was packed.

Su Chen lay on the chair and said to the serving girl who had just entered, "Call your manager over."

"Yes."

The woman immediately nodded respectfully.

Given Su Chen's standing and the fact that he had spent so many Top-grade Immortal Crystals before, he naturally had the right to meet their manager directly.

Before long, a smiling middle-aged man walked in.

"I am Nie Yuan, the manager of Liuxiang Residence. May I ask if the Young Master has any needs?"
