Chapter 331: Huayuan (1)
The three of them stood at the edge of Huayuan, the infamous red-light district shrouded in mystery and secrets. The night air buzzed with muted whispers as everybody’s attention immediately fell on the trio. Narrowed gazes watched them acutely as if they just stepped into a series of landmines.
Mingshen pouted. "I was expecting some passionate looks from the women here."
"Yeah they sure are giving you passionate looks. They are just murderous instead of romantic," Jia smiled.
The entryway was marked by a tall, crimson archway adorned with intricate gold carvings of varied flowers. Red paper lanterns swayed gently above, casting a warm glow on the path. The faint scent of incense mixed with the aroma of sizzling food wafting from nearby stalls.
Beside them, Bojing appeared uneasy, his hand nervously clutching the strap of his small bag. From one of the higher floors of a tall building, he saw a group of women giggling and waving their hands at him with shy yet mildly seductive gazes.
I-I have a girlfriend, s-so I cannot...! I am sorry!
Bojing looked up at them once tearily and bowed until his back nearly arched till its limits, giving his sincerest apology.
The women wearing beautiful and free flowing Hanfu dresses above blinked at that gesture, confused and puzzled.
"Why is that beauty bowing?"
"Why is that beauty crying?"
Bojing straightened up only to find another woman approaching him with a raised brow.
