Chapter 648: Those Peach Blossom Eyes Looks Familiar
Li Xiaofei traveled via rail cars and teleportation wind arrays as he followed the route Little Aunt had given him. Finally, he stopped in front of an ancient courtyard-style building known as Shenyin Pavilion in District Ding-1 of Chongque City.
The place was bustling with activity. The antique brick-and-tile architecture gave it the feel of an immortal cultivation world. However, a neon signboard hung at the entrance, flashing today's room prices, along with photos, names, and service rates of the available courtesans.
Yes. It was a brothel. Li Xiaofei stood at the entrance for a moment, finding the contrast between the ancient architecture and neon lights almost surreal.
"Yo, Brother Chen, looking for your big bro?" A young man in a uniformed suit swaggered out of the entrance. His deep yellow, slicked-back hair, along with an excessive number of silver earrings, a nose ring, and lip rings, gave him the unmistakable aura of a low-level street thug.
A thug from the Outer World. When he spotted Li Xiaofei, the punk’s face lit up with enthusiasm, as if he had just run into an old drinking buddy. He immediately threw an arm around Li Xiaofei’s shoulder, winking suggestively.
"How about a drink? The Bai Family sisters have been waiting for you."
Li Xiaofei put on a delighted expression and replied, "Sure!"
The two of them entered the brothel. As they passed through the front hall, they encountered a few more men dressed in the same uniformed suits as the slick-haired punk. They were all bodyguards and enforcers of Shenyin Pavilion.
They seemed well-acquainted with ‘Li Xiaofei’, greeting him with friendly smiles. Li Xiaofei nodded in response, playing along.
Inside a private booth in a secluded side hall, the slick-haired punk ordered a table full of food and drinks. He also summoned several young women dressed in flowing, traditional silk gowns. Thus, the night of revelry began.
Li Xiaofei remembered what his aunt had told him. His identity in this city was that of a fallen rich second-generation heir, someone well-versed in drinking, gambling, and womanizing, yet determined to ‘work hard’ and expand his family's lineage. So, he embraced the role and played along.
