Chapter 31: You're a Good Person
In Binhai County, inside a luxurious inn.
Qi Shaofeng sat comfortably on a soft couch, enjoying the services of five maidservants.
With a creak, the door was pushed open and a maid walked in, respectfully saying, "Young Master."
"Where has Chen Xuan's group reached?"
Qi Shaofeng asked leisurely.
"They've already arrived at Binhai County, and under Town Commander Xiong's escort, they've entered the Cangjiao Pavilion." The maid reported everything in detail.
"Scumbag!"
Upon hearing the three words "Cangjiao Pavilion," a look of anger appeared on Qi Shaofeng's face. "This guy clearly has a beauty like Fairy Yunmeng, yet he still goes to a brothel. This time, I must teach him a lesson.
What did Eldest Senior Brother say in his reply?"
The maid responded, "Young Master Qiu said he will arrive at Binhai County early tomorrow morning. He told you not to worry—a mere flood dragon that hasn't even achieved proper cultivation is something he can handle with ease."
"Excellent. After I suppress that flood dragon, I'll make that mere mortal Chen Xuan kneel on the ground and call me grandfather in front of Fairy Yunmeng!"
Qi Shaofeng had already begun fantasizing about the scene after he suppressed the flood dragon, with Chen Xuan kneeling before him. At that time, he would thoroughly humiliate this fellow.
"Young Master, if the people of Dongyang Prefecture find out about this, wouldn't it seem like an unfair victory?" A maid pouring tea nearby asked cautiously.
"You little girl don't understand. I used my own ability to invite reinforcements—how can that be called an unfair victory? Connections are also a form of strength."
Qi Shaofeng said righteously, "Besides, didn't Chen Xuan also ask for help from the Wushang Sword Sect?"
Hearing this, the maid blurted out, "But that sword-bearing senior brother from Wushang Sword Sect is just a Dao Foundation cultivator—he's completely useless."
Slap!
Qi Shaofeng slapped the maid's rounded area. "You little thing, daring to talk back to me. Tonight I must properly punish you."
"Young Master, please don't!"
Accompanying a shy exclamation, boundless spring filled the room.
The following ten thousand words are omitted.
...
At Cangjiao Pavilion, inside a boudoir, Chen Xuan sat in a chair, eating peanuts while drinking wine poured by Xiaojin.
"Young Master, why are you only eating peanuts?"
After pouring a full cup of wine, Xiaojin asked subconsciously. Before coming in, the older sisters in the building had told her that tonight she needed to share an intimate kiss with this handsome young man.
As long as he kissed her, Cangjiao Pavilion would send someone to save Mister.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Eat more peanuts, and you won't get drunk from drinking. That way, you won't have a chance."
"???"
Xiaojin was completely dumbfounded. The lessons Yuan Shuxiao had taught them these past few days all said that the guests would be happy only if she got drunk. Why wasn't this young man getting drunk? Could it be...
"You don't like me?"
"I don't."
Chen Xuan finished speaking and ate another peanut. Talking about liking someone in a brothel—wasn't that just teasing a fish? One must be honest in life.
"Wuu wuu"
Hearing these words, Xiaojin immediately began crying. Her cute big eyes, when crying, were extraordinarily devastating—even Chen Xuan, a man with two terabytes of storage in his previous life, couldn't resist.
"Stop crying. You're making me look like some heinous villain."
"I know you're a good person, you just don't like Xiaojin. Xiaojin is only crying because she's useless and can't save Mister." As Xiaojin spoke, tears streamed down her face.
"What does that have to do with me being a good person?"
Chen Xuan asked with a speechless expression. He had already paid money, and yet he was being given the "good person card"—what kind of situation was this?
Xiaojin used a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face. "Director Yuan said that to save Mister, I must share an intimate kiss with a guest. But the sisters in the building all say that guests are bad people, and after the kiss, they'll bully you."
"Hm?"
Chen Xuan's face was full of question marks. This little girl's brain didn't seem to work very well! She had obviously been deceived into coming to Cangjiao Pavilion. This brothel would never help her save this so-called Mister.
But since he had nothing better to do, he might as well listen to this little girl's story first.
"Xiaojin, tell me the story of your Mister. There's plenty of wine here anyway."
"Will you help me save Mister? As long as you save Mister, Xiaojin will promise you anything." Xiaojin said with an excited face.
"You tell me first. After I hear it, I'll consider it."
Chen Xuan wouldn't casually agree to save someone for a girl from a brothel. He had serious matters to attend to.
"Alright."
A look of discouragement appeared on Xiaojin's face as she began to speak. "Mister actually doesn't know who Xiaojin is, but without Mister, there would be no Xiaiaojin today."
"Oh."
Chen Xuan was quite surprised. This Xiaojin was actually a person of loyalty and righteousness. "Tell me, what kind of person is this Mister you speak of?"
Xiaojin shook her head. "Mister isn't a human—he's a flood dragon."
"A flood dragon?"
Hearing these two words, Chen Xuan couldn't help but show a trace of surprise. "Could the Mister you speak of be the flood dragon that's causing trouble on Prison Dragon Island?"
"No, no, no."
Xiaojin hurriedly explained, "Although Mister is trapped on Prison Dragon Island, he never causes trouble. In fact, he often enlightens many sea folk. Xiaojin is one of them."
"Then what about the ships that sink when passing through the waters near Prison Dragon Island?" Chen Xuan didn't completely believe Xiaojin's words, though her appearance didn't seem like she was lying.
Xiaojin shook her head slightly. "Xiaojin doesn't know about that, but Xiaojin can guarantee it definitely wasn't Mister who did it. He's trapped on the island and can't leave even half a step—how could he cause trouble?"
"Can you guide us to Prison Dragon Island tomorrow then?" Chen Xuan was worrying about not having a guide to Prison Dragon Island.
Hearing this, Xiaojin immediately stopped crying and nodded. "No problem. Xiaojin came to Binhai City specifically to find someone to help save Mister."
"Then rest early."
Chen Xuan walked toward the soft couch. He had paid money, after all—he wouldn't mistreat himself.
Xiaojin blew out the candle and lay on the table, saying, "Young Master Chen, you're a good person."
Damn, given the good person card again.
Chen Xuan muttered to himself in his heart, then went to sleep.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, when Chen Xuan woke up, it was already light outside. Xiaojin was still sleeping on the table, occasionally blowing bubbles from her mouth.
"Xiaojin, time to get up."
"Oh."
Xiaojin responded lazily, then stood up groggily and brought water for Chen Xuan to wash his face.
After washing up, Chen Xuan took Xiaojin and left the room. As soon as they went out, they ran into a refreshed Zhao Youqian.
"Brother Chen, did you sleep well last night?"
"It was alright. By the way, let me tell you something—can you lend me some money to redeem Xiaojin?" Chen Xuan pointed at Xiaojin.
"Redeem her?"
Zhao Youqian was stunned for a moment, then said earnestly, "Brother Chen, what happens in a brothel is just an act—don't take it seriously."
"Immortal Zhao is right."
Town Commander Xiong, who knows when he appeared, suddenly interjected.
"Am I that kind of person?"
Chen Xuan said with annoyance, "Xiaojin is from Prison Dragon Island. I just want her to guide us there."
"So that's it. Leave it to me—no problem!"
Zhao Youqian said boldly, and then the group took Xiaojin to find Yuan Shuxiao and explained their intentions.
