Chapter 90

On Monday, I'm asking for recommendations.

..............................................

An old foreigner once said, never underestimate a man's heart for visiting brothels.

Although Lady Qin had already ordered that Li Qi was not allowed to go to the Qifeng Tower tonight, how could Li Qi submit so easily? Unless Lady Qin was willing to sacrifice herself for justice, everything else was out of the question.

He was really, really pent up. As a normal man, physiological needs could not be stopped by reason. Someone like Tong Guan, who was neither male nor female, might want to visit a brothel, but he didn't have the means.

That night, after the dinner rush, Li Qi found an excuse and slipped out.

He thought he could deceive everyone, but little did he know that a graceful figure had been watching him leave, stomping her feet in frustration.

Li Qi left Zui Xian Ju and did not go directly to the Qifeng Tower. Instead, he returned to the Qin residence to dress up nicely.

Although he usually preferred a low profile, his father-in-law had once told him that one could be low-key anywhere except in a place of pleasure. That was a place of luxury and extravagance, where the girls recognized money, not people. Even if you were poor, you had to put on a brave face and at least look presentable. If you walked in looking ragged, no one would pay attention to you, and you wouldn't even get a chance to flirt.

He took a bath, changed into decent clothes, and tied his not-too-long hair into a ponytail. Although he thought this hairstyle was too artistic, it was better than having it loose.

When he arrived at the place he had agreed to meet Hong Tianjiu, Li Qi saw Hong Tianjiu and Zhou Hua squatting at the bridgehead, looking restless.

"Brother Li, why are you so late? It's almost starting," Hong Tianjiu said, clearly annoyed.

Sweat! There's someone even more anxious than me.

Li Qi smiled awkwardly, "The shop was too busy. I barely managed to get away. By the way, where is the Qifeng Tower?"

"Isn't it right there?" Zhou Hua pointed across the river.

Li Qi looked in the direction he pointed and saw a magnificent three-story building on the opposite side. Colorful flags were flying, and a row of large lanterns hung high, bright and splendid. Even before he got close, he could hear the laughter of men and the giggles of girls.

"Let's go quickly," Li Qi urged impatiently. He just wanted to get it over with and go back home.

The three of them, each with their own thoughts, headed straight for the Qifeng Tower.

"Hey, Master Hong, Master Zhou, it's been a long time since you've been here," the madam, a woman in her thirties, said with a high-pitched voice, her eyes gleaming as she waddled over.

When Li Qi heard her voice and saw her appearance, he almost vomited the food from last night, and his interest was greatly diminished.

Compared to the madams of the future, the madams of this era were worlds apart in terms of appearance, demeanor, and quality.

Despite being in his early twenties, Zhou Hua was a seasoned pleasure-seeker. He hugged the madam without any hesitation and pinched her nearly falling-off, plump buttocks, grinning, "Sister Hua, if you were willing to accompany me, I could come every day."

Sweat! Heavy taste.

Li Qi was drenched in cold sweat, admiring Zhou Hua's ability to accept anything. This guy was truly the best of the best among clients.

"Hmm—, Third Brother, you're just teasing me. Everyone knows you're here for the head courtesan," the madam said, leaning into Zhou Hua's fat body.

......

The three of them entered the building amidst the madam's and Zhou Hua's unrestrained laughter. Although it was just after nightfall, the place was already packed. The twenty or so tables on the first floor were almost all occupied. Needless to say, they were all there for the head courtesan, Yenü.

They found a table near the corner and sat down. Zhou Hua took out a silver ingot and placed it on the madam's white chest, then whispered something in her ear.

The madam's face lit up, and she immediately called over five or six girls for them to choose from.

Zhou Hua and Hong Tianjiu were regulars, so they had their preferred girls. The only one left was Li Qi.

Actually, as soon as Li Qi entered, he had been looking for a target. Although there were many beautiful girls with white chests and thighs, none of them met his standards.

It wasn't that there weren't any pretty ones, but the makeup of these girls was hard for Li Qi to accept. They didn't know how to apply makeup properly, and their faces were as red as monkey butts, with red flowers in their hair, just like Zhou Hua.

Thinking about it now, someone like Bai Qianruo, Lady Qin, and Zhao Ren'ao, who were naturally beautiful, were truly rare in the Northern Song Dynasty.

With no other choice and his desire burning, Li Qi had to settle for a girl with an average face but a plump figure.

Seeing that Li Qi had been silent from the moment he entered, Hong Tianjiu thought it was his first time and chuckled, "Brother Li, is this your first time here?"

Li Qi, while groping the girl next to him, nodded shyly.

At first, the girl thought the same as Hong Tianjiu, but after a short while, she was so aroused by Li Qi that she giggled, "Brother, if this is your first time, then I'm a virgin."

Li Qi laughed, "Oh? Is that so? Then we are truly a match made in heaven. We'll have to have a good session later."

"Um—, Brother, you're so naughty," the girl said with a lustful look in her eyes.

"Bad men are the ones women love," Li Qi pinched her plump chest and leered.

Hearing this, Zhou Hua laughed, "Good, Brother Li, you're right. Bad men are the ones women love, more sensible than Confucius."

Hong Tianjiu, who had been watching, was amazed. "I really misjudged you. I didn't expect Brother Li to be so good at this."

In his time, Li Qi was also a seasoned pleasure-seeker, but he had only actually visited a place like this once. It was when he was in college, after a breakup with his girlfriend and some encouragement from his roommates. That night, he went to a high-end place and called two girls for a double session. After that, his relationship with girls of this kind was limited to his hands, and he rarely went to such places. When he met his current wife, he went even less often, only accompanying some old clients for a short time.

"Move, move."

Just as Li Qi was chatting with the girl, a commotion broke out at the entrance.

Li Qi turned and saw a dozen ruffians clear a path, followed by two elegantly dressed young men. The one in front had a fair complexion, a light gaze, and a faint, wicked smile, walking with exaggerated steps. The one behind him was handsome, with a proud expression and a flickering gaze.

Seeing the two, Zhou Hua's expression changed, and he said to Hong Tianjiu, "Little Jiu, Gao Yanei is here."

Gao Yanei?

Li Qi was startled, and the hand on the girl's chest tightened.

A soft cry.

Damn. Too much force.

"Pervert, pervert."
