Chapter 118 is truly an eyesore.
Inside Tianxiang Tower.
Ji Chen stared in disbelief at everything that had happened behind him. He had been certain that Immortal Venerable Hanluo would be taken away by Lu Yunqi, but who knew that someone like this would suddenly appear?
The man jumped down from the second floor, chopped through the iron cage, and took Hanluo Immortal Venerable away. His guards then offered five thousand taels of gold to buy Hanluo Immortal Venerable.
Lu Yunqi didn't say another word. What, didn't you bring enough money?!
Ji Chen thought that person was like a madman, the Cold Fall Immortal Venerable...
Before Ji Chen could continue to worry, he was pushed from behind. Ji Chen could have stood firm, but he forgot that he was still chained to his feet.
With a sudden tug on the chain, Ji Chen was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
The burly man hadn't withdrawn his hand yet, staring blankly at Ji Chen on the ground. It seemed like he hadn't used much force.
Ji Chen simply sat down on the ground. Forget about Immortal Venerable Hanluo; now, he should think about himself.
The burly man coughed lightly, somewhat awkwardly pulling Ji Chen up, his tone no longer harsh, "Your turn, go up."
The madam continued her introduction, "Besides the one we just saw, there's another newcomer tonight. He's quite good-looking, and he's still a virgin, so he can be trained by any buyer."
Ji Chen: "......."
You're the newbie! Your whole family are newbies! Discipline? Discipline your grandpa!
Ji Chen cursed inwardly, but still obediently walked up.
The moment Ji Chen stepped onto the stage, he felt countless disgusting gazes fall upon him, sending a chill down his spine.
Ji Chen had the appearance of a gentle and refined young master, with a perfectly timed smile on his lips. Although he was not as handsome as the one from before, he was by no means inferior. Coupled with his subtly revealed waist and long legs, he immediately reignited the atmosphere.
Damn it, how did Immortal Venerable Hanluo manage to ignore all these gazes? Ji Chen felt that he was about to lose his composure.
"This is Wen Zhu, and she is exceptionally beautiful. To make up for the fright she caused you all just now, how about Wen Zhu plays a tune for you all?" the madam said with a smile, covering her mouth.
After receiving a warm response from the crowd, the madam nodded in satisfaction and gave Ji Chen a wink.
Ji Chen slowly walked to the zither table and sat down. He gently plucked the strings, and the clear sound of the zither quickly drew everyone into the music, making them feel completely absorbed.
Only Lu Yunqi on the third floor had his expression gradually stiffen. He originally had no knowledge of the zither, but for some reason, he understood the meaning expressed in the music.
Lu Yunqi, you fucking bastard, save me!
However, that's the gist of it. Does this Wen Zhu know him?
The music ended quickly, the zither was put away, and Ji Chen returned to the madam's side.
"What do the guests think?" The madam was very satisfied with Ji Chen's performance, because this way she could sell his virginity for a higher price!
"Bravo!" The guests applauded enthusiastically.
"The starting bid for Wen Zhu's first night is thirty taels of silver!"
Ji Chen was already inwardly cursing him. How come he was only offered one night's service and only thirty taels of silver? Who did they think they were?!
The Azure Light Cauldron was speechless. How could its master's attitude change so quickly?
After beating the effigy, and hearing that he had been auctioned off for one hundred taels of silver, but still hadn't heard Lu Yunqi's voice, Ji Chen felt a little nervous.
He had just suddenly changed the tune, using a code he and Lu Yunqi often used, but Lu Yunqi had no memory of it, and he wasn't sure if Lu Yunqi could recognize it.
Even if he could tell, Lu Yunqi might not save him. Being chased away by Lu Yunqi was the best outcome. If all else failed, he would still have to escape tonight.
"One hundred taels of gold, and this person, I'll take him with me."
Lu Yunqi's voice rang out again, and Ji Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he understood.
Just as Shi was about to continue causing trouble, he heard Lu Yunqi speak.
"Go ahead and raise the price. This time, I won't match it. Do you think your brother knew you were coming here and would still spend so much money?"
Lu Yunqi took a sip of tea, his tone calm and not at all like he was threatening anyone.
Shi was furious, but he really didn't dare let his brother know that he was here and that he was going to spend money to buy a male prostitute to take back.
"Let's go! Back to the manor!" Shi Ye got up and left angrily.
In the end, Lu Yunqi successfully bought Ji Chen for one hundred taels of gold.
The auction continued, while Ji Chen was led by the people from Tianxiang Tower to Lu Yunqi's private room. At the same time, he handed the key to the chain to Lu Yunqi, then left and closed the door behind him.
Lu Yunqi waved his hand, and the servant beside him understood and followed him out.
"Now, can you tell me why you know my name and why you know I'm here, Wen Zhu?" Lu Yunqi said in a deep voice, his gaze constantly drifting elsewhere.
Ji Chen sat down next to Lu Yunqi without any hesitation, picked up the key on the table and untied the shackles that had been binding his feet, and finally slapped Lu Yunqi on the shoulder.
"What are you pretending to be so profound for? Why do you think you're so special?! What are you looking at?"
Seeing that Lu Yunqi was still looking at the platform below, Ji Chen resumed his nonchalant attitude and asked, "What, you want to take a girl home?"
"No, it's your outfit that's too eye-catching." Lu Yunqi glanced at Ji Chen with disdain, then turned his head away.
Seriously, it's an eyesore.
Ji Chen, so excited that he forgot what he was wearing, was speechless.
"Excuse me, sir standing outside, could you please bring me a normal set of clothes?" Ji Chen shouted loudly to the waiter standing outside.
The servant remained motionless until Lu Yunqi spoke.
"Listen to him."
The servant then left the doorway, went to the person in charge, got a clean set of clothes, handed them to Ji Chen, and then left.
Ji Chen finally changed out of the shameful clothes he was wearing, and now Lu Yunqi could look at him normally.
Ji Chen took a sip of tea and then looked at Lu Yunqi seriously, saying, "My name is Ji Chen. Everything here is fake. In Tianxiang Tower, only you and I are real."
Lu Yunqi: "?"
Lu Yunqi couldn't understand and strongly believed that this person had some serious illness.
Ji Chen knew that Lu Yunqi wouldn't believe him, but that was the truth.
"Never mind." Ji Chen ran a hand through his hair, trying to clear his mind.
"Anyway, you're going to spend your whole life here before we can go back. Believe it or not, it's up to you, but there's something very important that we have to do."
"What is it?" Lu Yunqi looked at Ji Chen as if he were a fool. He must be crazy to have bought a fool.
"Go and save Immortal Venerable Hanluo!" Ji Chen said solemnly.
