Chapter 32

Three hours later, the procession of the Feathered Pavilion was barely moving, as countless people surrounded it from all sides. Not only men but even many women were screaming at the poster.

This was because the capital city was home to many people of noble bloodlines, and some of these races were very open and unrestrained, so they could not resist the attire and appearance depicted on the poster.

This unprecedentedly sexy and lifelike poster instantly ignited the hormones of all the men in the city and completely changed the women's perception of sexiness.

The name "Feathered Pavilion" and "Ye Xiaomao" became an instant sensation, a complete hit.

At this moment, even though night had not yet fallen and the Feathered Pavilion had not yet opened its doors, Lanling knew that his great work was accomplished.

As long as he waited until evening, countless gold coins would flood in like a tide.

...

As night fell, the Feathered Pavilion's staff opened the door, just like in the capital city, and hung new lanterns at the entrance.

But the moment he pushed the door open, he was almost scared out of his wits.

Outside, it was a sea of people, not just hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands.

Not only men but also women.

Seeing the Feathered Pavilion open, the crowd outside surged in like a flood.

"Where is Ye Xiaomao? We want to see Ye Xiaomao!"

"Tonight, I want Ye Xiaomao to accompany me, no matter the cost."

"I'll pay one gold coin."

"I'll pay two gold coins."

"I'll pay three gold coins..."

"I'll pay ten gold coins!"

Although the Feathered Pavilion was large, with so many people, there was no room to turn around.

"Ye Xiaomao, Ye Xiaomao, Ye Xiaomao!"

Countless men were shouting Ye Xiaomao's name.

...

The madam was almost ecstatic, as her business had never been this good since opening.

At this moment, a maid rushed in, excitedly screaming, "Mother, the price for Xiao Xian has already reached twenty gold coins."

This price was already ten times the highest in the capital city, equivalent to several hundred thousand RMB.

But it was normal; in modern Earth, some people were willing to pay millions to sleep with a celebrity once.

Immediately after, the maid rushed in again, screaming, "Someone has already offered fifty gold coins."

Everyone present, including Lanling himself, went crazy. He knew he would succeed and cause a sensation, but he never expected it to be to this extent.

It was too crazy, too exaggerated.

The madam immediately screamed, "Quick, quick, let the highest bidder in, and let Xiao Mao accompany him."

Lanling immediately stopped the madam, saying, "Absolutely not, this is like draining a pond to catch all the fish. This price is irrational, and besides, Ye Xiaomao is not a virgin."

The madam weakly said, "Xiao Xian is a virgin."

Lanling was shocked. Ye Xiaomao, who flirted and was so accommodating, was actually a virgin?

The madam said, "We planned to sell her virginity for a high price, two gold coins, but we couldn't sell it, so her virginity is still intact. After all, she is only seventeen."

Lanling said, "If her virginity is still intact, how does she usually receive guests and earn three silver coins each time?"

The madam rolled her eyes and said, "You are the patriarch of the pleasure industry, don't you know how to receive guests?"

Lanling said, "Since her virginity is still intact, it's even better. Tonight, we will have a big auction for Xiao Mao's first night, no matter the price. But starting tomorrow, Xiao Mao will only receive one guest per day, and charge five gold coins each time."

The madam said, "Isn't that too much of a loss? Now that Xiao Mao is so popular, people are willing to pay ten gold coins, and she can receive at least a dozen guests each day."

Lanling said, "Stupid, do you know that rarity is valuable? We need to use scarcity marketing. By only receiving one guest per day, we can maintain the mystery and make men more eager, keeping her value high. If you receive ten guests each day, in less than ten days, no one will want Xiao Mao anymore."

The madam's eyes lit up, and she said, "Young Master Suo, you are truly a genius. But with dozens or hundreds of people wanting Xiao Mao each day, how do we choose just one guest?"

Lanling said, "By drawing lots, to ensure fairness. Of course, when important figures come, we will cheat."

The madam said, "Isn't that too much of a loss? We could earn dozens of gold coins each day, but now we can only earn five."

"Stupid," Lanling said. "Xiao Mao will only receive one guest each day, but she can also attend various events, accompany VIPs to high-level banquets. For example, if a large shop is opening, Xiao Mao can be a guest of honor. Or if a high-ranking official's son is getting married, Xiao Mao can attend the wedding ceremony. These are all opportunities to earn money!"

The madam's eyes widened, and she trembled, "Young Master Suo, you are truly a genius."

Lanling said, "Next, Xiao Mao needs to gradually learn various talents and gradually move away from receiving guests. This way, she can earn more money and become a star, not just a courtesan. I will write a manual on how to package her talents and give it to Manman to operate."

Manman will be the president of the Arts Committee, specifically managing the nineteen courtesans of the capital city.

The madam could only nod vigorously.

At this moment, another maid rushed in, screaming, "Madam, Madam, the people outside are going crazy. If Xiao Mao doesn't come out soon, they will start breaking things."

The madam said, "Quick, quick, make Xiao Mao come out."

Another maid rushed out, saying, "Xiao Xian, no, Xiao Mao is too nervous, her legs are shaking, and she doesn't dare to come out."

Lanling and the madam were speechless. They had made Ye Xiaomao so famous, but she was now too nervous to come out, failing at the crucial moment.

The madam was almost in tears, saying, "Young Master Suo, what should we do? If Xiao Mao goes out looking timid, her reputation will be ruined, and my Feathered Pavilion will be destroyed."

"Don't worry, I'll go," Lanling said.

Then, he walked directly to the room and saw Ye Xiaomao sitting there, trembling all over, her lips pale, and her limbs shaking.

"Sir, I... I can't control myself, I'm too nervous," Ye Xiaomao said, almost crying when she saw Suo.

Lanling said, "It's fine, it's normal to be nervous. How much can you usually drink?"

"Half a catty," Ye Xiaomao said.

Lanling poured seven liang of wine and placed it in front of Xiao Mao, saying, "Drink it."

Without a word, Ye Xiaomao picked it up and drank it. She wasn't a heavy drinker, but her drinking style was very bold.

After drinking, her face instantly turned red, and her eyes sparkled.

After a while, Lanling asked, "Are you still nervous?"

Ye Xiaomao stood up and shook her head, "Not nervous anymore."

"What are those men outside?" Lanling asked.

"They are all pigs, all dogs. I just need to toy with them," Ye Xiaomao said.

Lanling said, "Do you remember the performance I taught you?"

"I remember," Ye Xiaomao said.

Lanling said, "Do you remember what to do when receiving guests?"

"I remember, use the whip and candles to torment them, and use my nails to scratch them," Ye Xiaomao said.

"Good, that's enough. Go out, the world belongs to you now," Lanling supported Ye Xiaomao's shoulders and pushed her forward.

...

The main hall of the Feathered Pavilion and the streets outside were packed with people, layer upon layer.

These people were filled with passion, staring at the large poster of Ye Xiaomao in the hall, shouting her name.

But after waiting for half an hour, Ye Xiaomao still hadn't come out, and they were almost ready to start breaking things.

At this moment, suddenly all the lights in the Feathered Pavilion went out, plunging everything into darkness.

"Next, please welcome the first of the nineteen courtesans selected by the Arts Committee, Ye Xiaomao!" a voice came from the darkness.

Finally, a huge cheer erupted from the Feathered Pavilion.

Then, everyone fell silent, holding their breath, waiting for Ye Xiaomao to appear.

A beam of light shone down, then two, three, four...

Finally, dozens of beams of light converged, creating an incredibly bright spotlight, while the rest of the area was pitch black.

Of course, in this world, there were no electric lights, so these beams were created using mirrors.

As everyone held their breath and stared, a cat-like woman walked into the spotlight.

Instantly, the crowd erupted.

The long-awaited Ye Xiaomao appeared.

She looked exactly like the poster, with the same cat ears, the same tight leather bustier, the same super short skirt, the same fishnet stockings (made from beast sinew), and the same high heels.

But under the spotlight, she was even more dazzling, more explosive, and more captivating.

Especially, she had a nearly real cat tail behind her (actually a cloud leopard's tail).

Under the spotlight, she walked with a cat-like gait, swaying seductively, her gaze wild, arrogant, and looking down on the men below.

This unprecedented modern firecracker, this unprecedented cat lady, under the countless spotlights, created an unparalleled visual impact.

Instantly, all the men went wild, completely entranced.

Wearing such high heels, walking under the spotlight, the swaying curves were so elegant, so sexy, so captivating.

Ye Xiaomao walked silently to the end of the temporary runway, where a harpsichord was placed.

She sat down in the most seductive pose, her tail still raised, and her delicate fingers touched the keys.

Instantly, the entire hall fell silent.

A beautiful, intense melody instantly filled the air, piercing everyone's ears.

In this atmosphere, even a normally unappealing tune would sound good, let alone the intense "Spanish Rhapsody."

Of course, although Ye Xiaomao's piano skills were good, she couldn't learn this piece in just half a day. Lanling was playing behind the scenes, and she was just pretending.

The piano posture Lanling designed for her was completely copied from Lady Gaga, extremely exaggerated and wild. At the intense parts, she would even lie on the piano, kneel on the chair, or roll on the piano.

In short, under the intense music, this wild cat nature was released to the extreme, and her sexy, fiery figure was also fully displayed.

At the end of the performance, Ye Xiaomao let out a cat-like scream to the crowd.

It sounded like a wild cat ready to fight or a cat in heat, incredibly realistic and wild.

Instantly, the entire crowd went completely wild.

This was Ye Xiaomao's only vocal performance of the night. She didn't say a word, just this one cat-like scream.

Next, the auction for Ye Xiaomao's first night began.

The scene was completely wild!

"I'll pay 150 gold coins!"

"I'll pay 180 gold coins!"

"I'll pay 200 gold coins!"
