Genshin Impact: A Martial Arts Master's Journey to Teyvat

Chapter 88 Brothel

The place where Xingqiu's father wanted to meet him was the largest brothel in Liyue.

The brothels in Liyue are serious entertainment venues where the girls sell their skills but not their bodies.

Since it is an entertainment venue, it is naturally open at night.

In front of the brightly lit high-rise building, Pai Meng said: "It's obviously called the Red Building."

The name of this brothel is Zuihonglou.

Lingkong: "You know too much. Don't be so smart in the future."

At this time, quite a few people had already arrived. Before entering, everyone paid money to buy tickets from the front desk.

Lingkong also spent 1,500 yuan. The entrance fee is the first hurdle to entering a brothel. This hurdle is just to prove that the customer has the financial resources to afford it.

Lingkong came to a private room where seven people were sitting at a table, and it was almost full.

When Xingqiu saw Lingkong coming, he asked him to sit in the empty seat next to him.

The private rooms were filled with friends of Xingqiu's father, all of whom were businessmen.

Knowing it was Ling Kong, they began to compliment him, saying what a young hero he was and what a talent he had.

Lingkong clasped his fists and said, "Nice to meet you, everyone."

Xing Zijian: "Finally I get to meet Mr. Ling. I really like Mr. Ling's Water Melody."

Xingqiu: “This is my father.”

Lingkong: "As long as you like it, I wanted to give the painting to Sister Ningguang, but Miss Xing gave me too much."

"Haha."

Ling Kong's words brought himself much closer to everyone else.

The bosses invited Ling Kong to paint for them one after another.

Lingkong agreed to all of them and said that there would definitely be a chance.

Everyone was eating, and there was a young lady playing the pipa next to them.

After eating and drinking, everyone went to the hall, which was the real brothel.

The theme of tonight is autumn, which means writing poems on the theme of autumn.

If you write well, you can enter the semi-finals for a tea party, where several seeded contestants get together to exchange cultural ideas and show their talents, and the girls will listen behind the curtain.

Only the talented men who are favored by the girl can see her, and they can talk about poetry, write essays, and play the piano and flute together.

Now that it has come to this, it is not impossible to have a deeper communication with the girl, but that depends on the talent of the man in picking up girls.

To be able to visit brothels, one must have at least one of money or talent.

The bosses are all rich people, they may not have much talent, but it is enough for them to write a poem, and after they are done they can ask Lingkong to appreciate it.

The crappy poems they wrote would be thrown directly into the trash can under normal circumstances.

But on this occasion, Lingkong must give face and make a few comments. It would be even better if it was written better.

A boss: "We have all written, Ling Caizi please write one."

It’s time to show off again, Lingkong wrote a poem about mountain travel on the spot.

The stone path is slanting up the cold mountain, people are walking where the white clouds are born. We stop the car to make love in the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February.

After writing your name, the poem is complete.

The bosses all praised him. Even though they were not very educated, they could see that the poems Ling Kong wrote were much more advanced than those crappy poems they had written.

While waiting for the papers to be marked, you can also watch the singing and dancing performances of the girl group in the brothel.

No matter what era, men like to watch beautiful women dancing.

Soon a maid informed Lingkong to go to the second floor.

A group of girls on the second floor saw Ling Kong coming. One girl asked, "Are you the Ling Kong who wrote the Water Melody?"

The girl in red: "Hongxiu, please don't be rude. Sir, please come this way."

The girls made way for them.

Lingkong: "I don't know the girl's name yet."

The girl in red: "My name is Xin Yan, I'm the boss here, I get to pick the handsome guys first, and they'll get their turn after I don't want any."

Lingkong: "...Miss Xin Yan is the owner of this place?"

Xin Yan: "No, but they can't beat me, so they have to listen to me."

Pai Meng: "That's fine too."

Xin Yan: "Is this little guy your pet? It's quite cute."

Pai Meng: "I'm not a pet."

Lingkong: "I picked up Paimeng from the river. She was abandoned by her parents. She was quite pitiful, so I adopted her."

"What a poor child." Xin Yan brought them into her boudoir and took out some snacks for them to eat.

Xin Yan: "Mr. Lingkong, I really like your song "Water Melody". I think it expresses the longing for family and hometown. How did you create such an excellent work?"

Lingkong: "It was a coincidence. I had a dream at night. In the dream, I became a poet and wrote this poem under the moon."

Xin Yan: "I have always believed that talent is more important than hard work. Mr. Ling Kong is a person favored by God."

Xin Yan discussed with Ling Kong the allusions quoted in "Song of Water Melody", the rhetoric used, etc.

Ling Kong didn't understand the culture of this world, so he just kept praising her for being right.

Lingkong added at the end, Miss Xin Yan is truly my confidant.

Xin Yan enthusiastically showed him the singing and playing version of "Shui Tiao Ge Tou".

Lingkong performed a modern version of "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" for her.

Xin Yan's comment was that the melody was weird, but barely listenable.

Pai Meng: "It sounds really nice."

Xin Yan would not argue with a child, instead he praised: "Mr. Ling, you are my true soulmate."

He chatted with Xin Yan until midnight before saying goodbye and leaving. Xin Yan gave him a token and told him that he could come to see her anytime he had time.

As a cultured person, I feel very comfortable in the air. This kind of spiritual enjoyment is not often available.

Pai Meng: "You are in such a good mood, why don't you live there."

Lingkong: "If they don't want to keep me, what can I do? Besides fighting, I can also talk to the little girl about my ideal life. My life is getting better and better."

Before daybreak, Lingkong started fishing in the fishing area of Liyue Harbor.

After fishing for two hours, Paimeng was speechless when he saw the two fish in the bucket: "Can you please stop fishing? I'm hungry."

Lingkong: "You need to be calm when fishing, don't be impatient. If you really have too much free time, why don't you try fishing? Didn't I buy you a children's fishing rod?"

Pai Meng: "We'll eat when I catch a fish."

Lingkong: "No problem, as long as you can catch it."

Paimeng took out his small fishing rod, put on the bait and threw the hook into the sea.

She immediately felt the pull of the fishing rod in her hand: "I caught it."

Lingkong: "Hmm? You are so lucky."

Pai Meng pulled up a three-inch long fish.

Lingkong: "What's the point of catching such a small fish? It's not even enough to fill your teeth."

Pai Meng: "Just tell me whether you caught any fish or not."

Lingkong: "You are awesome."

Pai Meng: "It seems you are still not convinced, I will catch another one."

This time, she caught a big fish that was one foot long.

Lingkong: "Are you cheating?"
