Chapter 271: His Hidden Condition 6

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The sky had started turning dark. Si Jin actually took fifty taels of silver and like he was told and left the house obediently. He walked out of the residential area and into the bustling street market. Then, he asked some passersby where the largest brothel in the city was. The passersby stared at this young man who had hung the horse-face mask behind his head. They saw how graceful, delicate, and pretty the boy was.

They saw how sweetly he was asking them where the brothel was…

The passersby then pointed him in one direction.

Then said…

“Huayue Pavilion.”

Si Jin gave his thanks.

Then he walked in the direction of Huayue Pavilion.

Making his way to the place, he raised his gaze and looked at the beautiful, gold sign with a red base!?Was this the brothel? Before he entered, he followed the entrance path and caught sight of waning lights.

Si Jin lifted his feet and walked in. Once past the floral screen, he saw that the inside of the large hall was extremely well-lit, the orchestra of string and wind instruments extremely refined, the scene overall quiet and elegant. There was a light, powdery perfume filling the hall and there were braziers everywhere, which warmed the place up so that the few lithe and elegant women were able to wear nothing but fine gauze garments sweeping against their bodies on this winter day. They were graceful and charming. The women were playing the qin and making music, their eyes gentle. However, their gazes conveyed a hint of teasing and flirting intentions when they swept over their guests.

Si Jin’s arrival caught the attention of quite a few of the women.

That was because a youth with looks like his would not just come to Huayue Pavilion simply for entertainment.

One look was enough to tell that he was very expensive.

Miss Li was the madam who ran Huayue Pavilion.

She had noticed the comely youth walking through their door with one glance from the second floor. The boy’s brows were like ink paintings and his lips looked like they were painted. He was nothing like the common youths who would step into this red light premise.

His gaze was naive and pure, how very… cute.

Miss Li stopped the girls from encircling him. She went down personally and took a look at the young man’s clothes. The material of his clothes was extremely fine, indicating that he came from an extraordinary background. She glanced at the horse-face mask on the back of his head. How peculiar.

Miss Li stepped up and asked implicitly, “Is this the little master’s first time here?”

“Yes!” Si Jin replied earnestly.

Miss Li had some understanding of why the young man had come, so she readily said, “You may choose whichever girl to accompany you.”

“Anyone can come forward,” Si Jin was even more direct.

Miss Li called for Hua Emei, then a woman who was even more splendid than Qi Qingyao, with the mark of a peony flower gleaming between her eyebrows and a delicate jade and gold hairpin nestled in her hair, sauntered up gracefully.

Miss Li thought to herself that since it was this little master’s first time, she would immediately bring out one of Huayue Pavilion’s three stars, Hua Emei!

She gave Hua Emei another wink before signaling for her to serve him well.

Hua Emei walked up, wanting to hold the youth’s hand. The youth, however, avoided her.

Hua Emei was not annoyed with it, she just pretended to smile shyly and led the youth to the luxurious room upstairs. As soon as she entered the room, the maidservants delivered some refreshments and pastries. Even the fruits were placed in exquisite lacquerware.

Hua Emei handed the youth a piece of pastry.

Si Jin shook his head.

He did not like these much; he only liked white rice.

The fragrance on this woman was very faint, but he did not like it either.

Hua Emei did not expect the youth would turn down the pastries. Those pastries actually had something added to them—aphrodisiac.

Hua Emei was a bit dissatisfied.

She was so beautiful, she just needed to persuade the youth a little more and he would definitely eat it.

“This pastry is really delicious. It’s a pastry made exclusively in our shop.” Hua Emei insisted earnestly.

Si Jin still shook his head.

Hua Emei was aware that some masters did not much like sweet treats and changed her approach. She took a pot of alcohol and poured the youth a cup.

“This wine is called ‘peach blossom spring’. It is also a specialty of Huayue Pavilion. Would you like to taste it?”

Si Jin once again shook his head.

While his memories from last time were a bit hazy, he knew that something big had happened after he had taken alcohol which made Qi Qingyao quite mad…

What was more, alcohol was nasty.

Hua Emei was beginning to get a little discouraged.

He neither wanted to eat nor drink.

Hua Emei immediately asked, “Master, I don’t know what service you desire when you come to Huayue Pavilion.” Saying this, she immediately began to undress. She was only wearing three light tulle garments on her body. When the first piece of tulle landed on the ground—

Si Jin’s eyes widened. “You, you, you, why are you taking off your clothes?”

“How old are you this year, master?” Hua Emei’s gaze was hazy and ambiguous when she asked this.

“I’m very big now,” Si Jin replied.

“Then, do you really not know what I’m going to do?” As Hua Emei spoke, she threw herself onto the youth’s body, pulling on his belt as she flopped onto him. “I’ll help you gain a new experience tonight.”

Having someone lay on top of him and having his belt pulled suddenly put Si Jin into high alert. He stood up and pushed the girl away, and said rather accusingly, “Why are you taking my clothes off?”

“How are we to do things without taking off our clothes?” This guest was really making Hua Emei gloomy.

She did not buy his words, so she threw herself onto him again, intending to press the initiative.

Si Jin pushed her away more forcefully this time.

“You’re not allowed to take off my clothes,” he said indifferently as he reset his belt, “I don’t like people forcing me. You are not allowed to force me. Only Sister is allowed to give me orders.”

Hua Emei did not expect the youth to be completely unfazed when he saw her body.

His eyes were clear; there was not a hint of hesitation.

Hua Emei felt helpless. “Why did you come to a brothel if it was not to sleep with a woman?”

Si Jin said seriously, “Sister said I would know if I could get it up or not if I came here.”

Hua Emei’s mind suddenly went blank. “You, you can’t get it up?”

“Why does that mean?” Si Jin was as serious as ever.

Hua Emei thought to herself, ‘He isn’t just an inexperienced child, he is a young man who knows nothing of the world.’

She went silent for a moment.

She had removed all her clothes efficiently and was standing in front of the young man naked.

The young man, meanwhile, was neatly dressed and calm.

This made her feel embarrassed for the first time ever.

She asked somewhat bashfully, “How do you feel when you see me?”

Si Jin tilted his head, wondering, “Why did you take off all your clothes? Isn’t it cold?”

Hua Emei, “…”

…

Three-quarters past seven in the evening.

Si Jin ran back and knocked on Qi Qingyao’s door hurriedly. Qi Qingyao glanced at the children who had just fallen asleep. After running to open the door, she made a shushing gesture to Si Jin.

Si Jin burst into aggrieved tears as he exclaimed, “Sister!!”

Qi Qingyao pulled Si Jin to the side hall, lit a candle, and asked him what was wrong.

“The brothel drove me out,” Si Jin said while his mouth twitched.

Qi Qingyao, “Huh?”

How could they possibly have chased him out?

“I just asked her what ‘not being able to get it up means’ and the girl took off her clothes. Then, I asked her why she undressed and she cried and had someone kick me out,” Si Jin said without a shred of guilt.

Qi Qingyao almost fell off her chair. Si Jin held her firmly in place just in time. Qi Qingyao’s forehead creased into a frown as she asked, “You, did you not have a reaction?”

“What reaction?” Si Jin asked very seriously.

Qi Qingyao was simply at a loss for words. Any normal man would have a reaction when faced with an undressed woman. “Your heart is as still as water even in the presence of a naked woman!!”

“How should I react otherwise?” Si Jin asked.

“Your heart would beat like drums, you would feel excited and nervous, a tightness in your chest, numbness in your throat and scalp. There would also be a special reaction in your lower abdomen.” Even if she was a woman, she would still be uncontrollably excited, her phantom limb sticking up, expressing itself when faced with a beautiful naked girl but in the end, he…

Si Jin asked, “I don’t feel any of that.”

“This, you…” Qi Qingyao did not know what to say at all. She looked at Si Jin quietly, and cursed in a soft voice, “We shouldn’t call you Si Jin from now on. You can just change your name to Little Monk.”

Si Jin, “…” It was not like he was a monk.

Qi Qingyao paced right and left for a moment, holding her forehead in her hand. “I have never met a guy like you with such a calm heart. You had a beautiful woman in your arms, and yet you were not moved in the slightest.”

Si Jin, “…”

He was not unmoved.

He really liked Sister.

Qi Qingyao sighed with emotion and looked out at the night sadly. “It looks like I not only have to save Lu Yan but also you, you little fool.”

Si Jin, “…”

Save?

Why did he need saving?

He was not ill!

…

Jiang Yeqian heard movements in her room and went over. However, he did not enter the side hall, he just stood nearby outside, listening quietly to the conversation between the two.

His forehead wrinkled with frown lines when he heard that Si Jin had run back from a brothel. What horrible idea had this woman come up with?

After hearing the rest, however…

Jiang Yeqian’s expression collapsed again.

Si Jin also had issues… in that aspect!

A rival…

Ah!

That was not right.

Anyway.

Jiang Yeqian did not know why but he felt a little happy.

He was the only normal person; how could he not be pleased about it?
