Chapter 1: Do You Know What The Customer Does To The Prostitute?

“I’m an assassin.” Bian Zhonghua said.

Sitting on his knees on the red veil-covered bed, Qi Ci said impatiently as he undressed: “I know, I know. So, are you going to fuck me or not?”

Bian Zhonghua, who was sitting at the round table at the other side of the room, reached out and pinched the melon seeds that were on the porcelain plate on the table. As he watched how Qi Ci was tearing open his tediously decorated clothes, he slowly knocked on the melon seeds and said: “Do you want to be fucked so badly? Do you even know what kind of techniques and methods a customer uses to deal with male prostitutes like you?”

At that, Qi Ci stopped.

How would he know?

It was just like the Capital City, with the white horses with silver saddles enjoying the spring breeze. He’d never been there, so how would he know what it looks like?

What does it mean to ‘wet your clothes’ in spring? What does it mean to ‘have long days’ in summer? To ‘sing a song’ in autumn? To ‘experience a snowstorm’ in winter?

He doesn’t know bullshit, alright?

Qi Ci doesn’t know anything.

Just like how he didn’t know why that man had been talking to him about the Capital City for three whole years, promising that they would go see it together, only to end up being sold to a brothel in the twinkle of an eye.

Qi Ci replied lightly: “The worst thing that would happen is that I’ll have to lie in bed for a few days, but it’s still better than dying.”

""

Bian Zhonghua grabbed a handful of melon seeds, stood up, and walked over to the bed as he played with the melon seeds on his hand. Then, he looked down at Qi Ci: “Dying?”

Qi Ci looked back at him without any fear: “Yes. I have a Gu worm1 inside me. If you don’t fuck me tonight, I’ll die a violent death tomorrow morning by the time the dawn sets.”

“Oh, seductive Gu poison.” Bian Zhonghua nodded in understanding, reached out, and ripped off Qi Ci’s clothes, which were already half-stripped by himself. The brocade that was designed to attract the customers slid down his arms, revealing the large bruises and whip marks on Qi Ci’s body.

Bian Zhonghua took a look at his injuries, and said: “The Madame of this brothel, is really tricky.”

Qi Ci spread out his hands: “I can’t help it. I’m the kind of person who would rather die than give in. I’m really stubborn, and resistant.”

Bian Zhonghua handed the melon seeds in his hand to Qi Ci: “Do you want to eat them?”

Qi Ci: “…. Xiongdi2, even though I’m very reluctant, I’d like to remind you that you just spent a hundred taels of gold to buy me for one night.”

Bian Zhonghua continued to play with the melon seeds, as if he weren’t going to eat them. Then, he rolled his eyes and said: “How could I’ve known that you were so expensive?”

Qi Ci: “Do I not look pretty?”

Bian Zhonghua raised his eyes to look at him. Qi Ci was elegant and handsome, with picturesque eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a white skin, and red lips. A gorgeous high-spirited young man, and yet, he lacked the knowledge to seduce: “Yes, very pretty.”

Qi Ci: “That’s enough. This is still my first time.”

Bian Zhonghua: “Oh, then I don’t have anything to lose.”

Qi Ci continued to take off his clothes as he urged him: “Hurry up, quickly. It’s better to just get the pain over with rather than prolong the agony. If you help me now, then I can also live.”

Bian Zhonghua wasn’t looking at Qi Ci, he was simply playing with the melon seeds: “The melon seeds from here are quite delicious.”

“…..What the hell are you actually here for?”

“I told you at the beginning. I’m an assassin.”

Qi Ci wanted to keep asking. However, he suddenly saw that Bian Zhonghua had patted away the melon crumbs from his hands and instantly came closer to him, pressing his body close to Qi Ci’s.

Qi Ci instinctively wanted to move backwards, trying to hide away. But at that moment, his body stiffened in place.

As Bian Zhonghua saw his little movements, with a smile on his face, he reached out to flirtatiously pinch Qi Ci’s chin, and said: “If you’re afraid to ‘let me in’, just lean on your side, so that I can fuck you.”

Qi Ci didn’t understand: “Let you in?”

Bian Zhonghua didn’t bother to explain and pushed him aside.

Qi Ci was caught off guard as he fell at a corner of the bed. It took him a long time to stabilize himself before he said: “I’m starting to suspect that you’re impotent.”

Bian Zhonghua took out a silver knife from his pocket and stabbed it into the wall behind the bed. It was easy for him to dig a hole in the solid wall: “How were you able to survive to this day, in this kind of place, with a mouth like that?”

Towards this, Qi Ci began to count with his fingers: “Today is my fourth day here.”

As Bian Zhonghua put away the knife, he said: “It seems that the Madame doesn’t want to kill you yet simply because of your good looks.”

Qi Ci moved closer to Bian Zhonghua and asked: “What the hell are you doing?”

“Shhh.” Bian Zhonghua covered Qi Ci’s mouth as he held his breath to listen through the hole.

At the other side of the wall, there was also another wing room. From this room, the sounds of panting, as well as provocative sounds and whispers of dirty talk could be heard.

When Bian Zhonghua felt that Qi Ci’s breath became heavier, he curled his lips and reached out to pinch his blushed earlobe.

At that, Qi Ci jumped three feet high, and rolled off from the bed.

Bian Zhonghua immediately pulled him back on the bed and said: “Look at you, you were so excited just now, but now you’re acting all shy.”

Qi Ci couldn’t explain himself, and the corners of his eyes became slightly red because he was angry. He then covered his ears and hugged his head, shrinking himself into a ball in a corner of the bed.

Bian Zhonghua smiled and stroked his head. Then he got up and stepped out of the bed, walked towards the window and reached out to open it, and then, without any warning, jumped out.

After this happened, Qi Ci’s eyes were wide open. He immediately rushed over the window, and when he leaned to see outside, he saw a dark shadow ‘flying’ over the wall. That dark shadow then stopped right in front of the window of the next wing room, stood still for a moment, slowly opened it, and then jumped in!

After a few seconds of silence, there was a sudden scream coming from the wing room. The scream was so loud that it could even cut straight to the night sky, making anyone who heard it shudder in fear.

Qi Ci was startled, and before he could recover from the initial shock, Bian Zhonghua had already come back from the window.

Bian Zhonghua didn’t expect that Qi Ci would be standing by the window, so before he could stabilize himself, he knocked him to the ground, and the two of them rolled together on the floor.

When he came back to his senses, Bian Zhonghua pulled himself up, helped Qi Ci, and then closed the window: “Why were you standing by the window? You’re still half-naked, and it’s cold outside. Do you want to die from catching a cold? After solving the Gu poison?”

Qi Ci looked at him blankly for a long time, before saying: “You have blood on your hands….”

“Ah right, blood.” Bian Zhonghua turned around, raised his hands soaked in blood, and laughed: “I told you, I’m an assassin.”
