Chapter Thirty: The Fireworks Alley

  In the Imperial City, there is a street that is very deep and has no exit at its end, so it is also called an alley.

  Unlike ordinary alleys, this alley is spacious and can accommodate several horse-drawn carriages passing by at the same time. It doesn't have the tranquility of ordinary alleys. Here, you can feel a taste of extreme luxury and decadence.

  This street is called Fireworks Lane, and as the name suggests, it's a place where human beings' most primitive desires are stirred.

  Before nightfall, a young man wearing a white long gown walked into the Smoke Flower Lane with light footsteps.

  At this time, it was still early and the businesses on both sides of the alley had not yet started, so when the young man in white walked in, there was no one shouting to attract customers. The young man in white seemed to be very familiar with this place, without looking around much, he went straight to the deepest part of the alley.

  At the end of the alley, there is a building that surpasses all the others seen along the way in terms of height and grandeur, resembling a palace.

  The gate has eight leaves, and this one point alone shows the style of this place. The building is over ten stories high, proudly overlooking the surrounding land!

  "Hello, young master. We haven't started business yet." A middle-aged man dressed as a doorman said with a bow at the entrance, his eyes flashing with a hint of surprise, clearly thinking that someone so young was too spoiled to be in such a place.

  The young man in white clothes smiled and raised his head. In front of him were the three big characters "Hua Qing Chi", flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, majestic and powerful.

  "I'll go in and wait, have a few drinks first, no problem?"

  "What?"

  The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and then let go.

  Huaqing Pool, is the place, even if you look at the entire imperial capital, it is also the most dazzling and unapproachable place, but those who can come here to consume are either extremely rich or noble, and they must be extremely wealthy and prestigious.

  So, although the big boss behind Huqingchi has extraordinary power in the imperial capital, he also does not dare to offend the guests who come.

  The young man in white clothes just went ahead, although he was curious about his young age coming to such a place, but business can't be done without. Moreover, here, more curious things are not absent.

  After entering the Huqing Pool, the young man in white found a secluded corner and sat down. Soon, servants brought over exquisite wine and food.

  As time slowly passed, after the sky darkened, the noisy and sonorous sounds surged like a tide, and in just a short moment, more and more people rushed into this vast and spacious courtyard.

  Although those who can come here to have fun are either rich or noble, there is also a big difference between the rich and the noble.

  Those who think they are not important enough are very self-aware, sitting in a remote position, and the positions closer to the front and center, even if empty, will not be occupied by anyone.

  There were more people, the program started, and the atmosphere here suddenly became fiery. Not long after that, one by one, charming women, led by a woman, walked along the edge of each table like butterflies among flowers.

  Every time I pass by a table, I see several women staying behind, without giving customers the opportunity to choose their favorite women. Of course, being able to do so also shows that these women are all national beauties, as long as they are not intentionally picky, there won't be any complaints about them, besides, it's not like we're marrying them and taking them home as wives, it's already good enough.

  It seems that someone had already taken note of the number of guests beforehand. When it was the last guest's turn, there was only one woman left.

  When they saw the last guest, both the woman who led the way and the other woman were obviously stunned for a moment. However, their good professional training only made them stunned for a moment, and then the woman sat down beside the guest with a smile.

  Before the woman's buttocks touched the chair, a silver ticket accompanied by a faint voice shocked both this woman and the woman who had not yet left, and even several tables of guests nearby were startled by the sound.

  A silver note worth one thousand taels, Hu Qingchi was a spendthrift, but he had just started and already took out a thousand-tael silver note to give to the host, which was rarely seen in these times.

  He merely said: "Just let Miss Liu Ruyi keep me company for a few cups!"

  The woman had just stretched out her hand to take the silver ticket, but now she suddenly withdrew it as if she had seen a ghost. She then looked at this somewhat unusual guest with an almost speechless gaze before turning to the woman who had led him in.

  The woman was also stunned for a while before saying with a professional smile: "This young master, I'm really sorry, but Miss Liu Yu is not easily available to other customers."

  "She's not easily seen, that means there are some guests she still wants to see, right?" The young man in white clothes looked up and revealed a good-looking smile: "Take this silver note, sorry for the trouble."

  The woman didn't dare take the silver ticket and said: "Young master, I'm really sorry, but Miss Liu won't see you."

  "You didn't even ask her, how would you know she won't see me?"

  "What?"

  In the brief conversation, the people nearby also came back to their senses. The woman and several women couldn't laugh at the young man in white in front of the guests, but those guests didn't have any scruples.

  "Little boy, has your hair grown yet? Not only did you learn from others to come to this kind of place to have fun, but you also want Liu Niang to accompany you?"

  "Haha!"

  The laughter grew louder and farther away, and as people further away understood what was happening, the laughter became even more intense.

  "Whose kid is this? What a big mouth, daring to ask for Miss Liu Ruyi. Do you know that every single master here has the power to control Huacai Pool with just one word? Even so, many people have not seen Miss Liu's face until today. You should go back home and drink milk instead, lest Master throws you out."

  "Haha, Old Luo, this kid is already past the weaning age, with him being like that, will his mother still have milk to feed him?"

  "Haha!"

  The white-clothed young man, who had been facing the ridicule of the crowd and seemed to be ignoring it, suddenly turned extremely pale after hearing the words of this thin, middle-aged man.

  "Hum!"

  Just then, amidst the bursts of laughter, a shrill voice suddenly rang out, and in an instant, all the laughter was cut off as if by an invisible hand. Every mouth was still open, but not a sound came out.

  In their line of sight, on the table in front of a thin and small middle-aged man, there was actually a white fan, like a knife blade, stiffly embedded inside.

  Everyone, especially the thin and frail middle-aged man, turned even paler. He suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud, knocking his head against the floor like pounding rice: "Young master, I spoke out of turn, please forgive me!"

  "You have offended me, you are just one death. Now that he is enraged, your whole family will die together. So, your death is to save the lives of your entire family." A refined voice came over faintly.

  Looking in the direction of the sound, the white-clothed young man couldn't help but laugh and say: "I'm not as ruthless as you said?"

  "You may be ruthless or not, I don't care, but those who offend you are doomed to die. In other places, I may not have the final say, but here, I have the power of life and death!"

  A refined voice, a sudden killing intent arose, the white fan inlaid on the table suddenly flew up by itself, transforming into a streak of white light. No matter how the thin and small middle-aged man dodged, his head eventually fell to the ground after a few seconds!

  The bloody smell, instantly filled the entire land of Muye, however, not a single person dared to say a word of disrespect for those who had died before, and even in the hearts of many people, they were still terrified, they had also ridiculed that white-clothed young man just now.

  "Well, go and invite that troublesome guy up here. If we wait any longer, he might just dismantle the Huaqing Pool!"

  "Yes!"

  On top of the high-rise building, a beautiful figure stepped out of a room and appeared clearly at the staircase entrance in front of everyone's eyes.

  Her appearance alone seemed to absorb the original bloody atmosphere, which instantly disappeared cleanly. Except for the white-clothed young man, everyone else, regardless of gender, stared fixedly at that figure, not daring to move their gaze away by a single inch!
