Mortal Mirror

Before him, the familiar scene reappeared: a sprawling three-story building from which girls were constantly striking poses and beckoning customers. The plaque above the main entrance read “Yangchun Pavilion” in bold characters.

This place was quite mysterious to Li Ergou. He had never dared to step inside. Despite his usual assertiveness, he inexplicably felt his legs trembling.

As he entered the building, a madam rushed over, her face plastered with so much powder it looked like plaster, a blossoming smile spreading across it. "So, Eighth Master has arrived!" she exclaimed. "Oh, this time, you’ve even brought a newbie! What’s this? Trying to break him in?"

Chen Bajin chuckled. "Mama Wang, you truly have sharp eyes! You saw right away that my brother here is a virgin."

The madam snorted. "I may not be good at other things, but my eyes are sharp. I can see right through you. Don’t let this kid's honest face fool you. After two or three days here, I’ll show him what the feeling of heaven on earth is like."

Li Ergou was starting to get used to the situation. He wanted to break free and leave, but seeing Chen Bajin’s enthusiasm, he didn't want to spoil his good intentions and decided to stay a little longer.

Hearing the madam's words, he didn't take them seriously. Perhaps it was because Mei'er and Jing'er were too pleasing to the eye, but these ordinary women were nothing special in his eyes. He had no interest in engaging in deep conversations with these women.

Chen Bajin said with a happy face: "Quickly, quickly find my brother two with big boobs."

The madam’s mouth smiled like a chrysanthemum. "Alright, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."

Just then, someone shouted from the second floor, "The Qin Fairy is here!" As soon as this sound came out, countless men flocked over, looking up at a woman in a pink dress on the second floor.

The woman was breathtakingly beautiful. Every step she took was like a lotus blooming, her every frown and smile captivating. She looked like she could enchant all living beings.

Li Ergou considered himself to have seen many women, but this was the first time he had seen someone so charming. He asked the madam, "Who is she?"

The madam smiled. "Young master, you better not set your sights on her. She is our Yangchun Pavilion's top attraction. She only sells her art, not her body, and her price is not something you can afford."

These words were clearly looking down on him.

Li Ergou was used to cold words and mockery, so he didn't care about the madam's taunts.

However, Chen Bajin was not happy. He was furious and said, "Mama Wang, who are you looking down on? Do you know who this is?"

The madam blinked, a look of confusion on her face. She had registered all the wealthy young masters in Fish City, fearing that she might offend some dignitaries.

And this Li Ergou was someone she was seeing for the first time. She really didn't know where he came from. Hearing Chen Bajin say this, she thought, could this be a strong dragon crossing the river, a powerful figure from the state capital?

Which madam who could become a madam wasn't a shrewd person? Each and every one of them had eight hearts. If they provoked a remarkable person, they would truly regret it too late.

With this in mind, she cautiously asked, "Who is this person?"

"Hehe, you know Ergou Egg, right? This is my brother's industry. Now, the Ergou Egg breeding base has moved to our Fish City. This is a future big boss. You should be careful," Chen Bajin said.

After listening, the madam despised in her heart, also thought what immortal figure, could not help sneering: "Eighth Master, you also too underestimate my Yangchun Building, right, from the county guard down to all walks of life, what kind of person have I, Mama Wang, not seen.

A seller of eggs, do you need to scare me like this? I don’t care about any Ergou Egg, or Sangou Egg.

If you want to communicate with Qin Fairy, then you must take out real money, the price you know, one hour, one hundred taels of gold, no cheating the old or the young."

Chen Bajin immediately reached out to Li Ergou and said, "Ergou, quickly take the money, we can't let people look down on us."

Li Ergou glanced at Chen Bajin, speechless. One hundred taels of gold for an hour? Why not just rob someone? That would be faster. To say a few words to a woman, wasn't this purely sick? Was he really taking himself for a retard?

However, at this time, if he didn't take the money, wouldn't he be losing Chen Bajin's face? This guy was so concerned about face; he would definitely nag him to death in the future.

At this moment, Chen Bajin looked at Li Ergou, his eyes practically saying, 'Don't embarrass me.'

The madam was also staring at Li Ergou, thinking, 'You want to spend time with the Qin Fairy when you're just an egg seller? Keep dreaming. Don't you know how much you're worth?'

Li Ergou took in their gazes and smiled bitterly. He thought, 'Forget it, I'll just give Chen Bajin some face. Once my thousand-chicken plan starts, with the chickens laying eggs, I'll be earning a lot of money every day. I'll just consider this advance spending.'

With that in mind, he directly took out a hundred-tael gold brick from his pocket and said self-deprecatingly, "Alright, arrange it. This egg seller wants to experience the Qin Fairy's charm."

Chen Bajin laughed. "See? My brother's not short on money. Mama Wang, don't look down on people."

The madam took the gold, slightly surprised, but immediately put on a smiling face and said repeatedly, "Oh, blame my old eyes for being blurry. I didn't expect that the young master was one to play the fool. I'll arrange it right away. Please wait a moment."

Chen Bajin said with an envious expression: "Hey, Ergou ah, it’s not that your brother is talking about you, money is to be spent like this before it is fun, before it is happy, is not there that sentence, die under the peony flower also romantic, this is Qin Fairy ah, your old brother I can meet and can not seek people.

You have to seize the opportunity, more card some oil and water is good, otherwise, the gold will be spent in vain."

Li Ergou was speechless, thinking, 'Am I that kind of person?' It just hurt a little to spend this hundred taels of gold so easily.

Before long, the madam came down, saying with a flattering smile, "Come, young master, everything is arranged. The Qin Fairy is already waiting for you in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion."

Chen Bajin gave Li Ergou an encouraging look, and Li Ergou stepped upstairs. When everyone saw him enter the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, their eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

With a click, the door opened. The fragrance inside the room was very pleasant—a special body fragrance that Li Ergou had smelled on Zhu Zhu, but the scent was different.

Inside the room, light纱遮掩, in that light纱帷幔, a woman playing the zither slowly said, "Young master, how about letting this little girl play a song for you first?"

The Qin Fairy's voice was light and clear, exceptionally pleasant to listen to. Li Ergou couldn't help but be amazed. Could there really be someone in the world who was both beautiful and had such a pleasant voice?

To be honest, after experiencing countless life-and-death situations, Li Ergou thought he would be unfazed by anything, but at this moment, as he lifted the light纱 and walked into the curtain, seeing the Qin Fairy's appearance, he felt a sudden inexplicable thump in his heart, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.
