Chapter 8: The Consequences of Lust (2)

After a while, I noticed Zhu Jiangxian frowning her willow-like brows and saying, "It still doesn't look right, it still doesn't resemble it."

At that moment, a prostitute in her twenties, possessing a certain degree of beauty, said: "Of course it's a deception. Don't you take a look at your own character in the urine you just passed? You still wish to associate with us, the Red Immortals. Just see if you dare to come and climb the wall every day again."

As I walked under the low wall, I heard a cacophony of noise from the courtyard. A man's voice exclaimed: "Damn it, Zheng Bao'er, you shameless whore, last time you made me happy, that's why I came back to this 'Spring Full Garden' to take care of your business. Who would have thought that not only did you paint your face like a ghost at night, but you also sold me a piece of sheep dung coated in ink for a hundred copper coins, leaving my mouth stinking to high heaven. Damn it, do you look down on me, Song Da Ye, thinking I'm easy to bully?"

At this moment, Ren Tianqi still had some sense of dignity and thought that doing so would be truly shameful. He immediately said, "No, no, good girl, I really cannot do this. You should choose something else."

Ren Tianqi originally felt quite wronged, but upon seeing her smile as radiant as blooming peach blossoms, his heart was set at ease

The people in the brothel have always been aware of this little rascal's character. Seeing him not only take the initiative to admit his wrongdoing but also suddenly act so tough, combined with his return in the middle of the night dressed in new clothes, everything about him seems peculiar. They are all greatly astonished, unsure of what this little fellow is up to.

Ren Tianqi was initially reluctant, but upon seeing her pouting pink cherry lips and her delicate features under the moonlight, a surge of compassion welled up within him. At that moment, the heat rising from his lower abdomen clouded his mind, and in a moment of infatuation, he crawled a few steps on the ground before standing up and saying: "Miss Zhu, this should work now"

As everyone turned to look, they saw a young boy standing beneath the low wall on the left, wearing a top hat, dressed in a sapphire blue satin robe and cotton trousers, and sporting a pair of deerskin boots; it was indeed Ren Tianqi.

Ren Tianqi Dao: "Whatever it is, I will do it."

At this moment, Ren Tianqi climbed up the wall and saw that the courtyard was already filled with people. The girl from "Spring in the Garden" and all the clients had come out. Among them stood a tall middle-aged man, while Zheng Bao'er was only wearing a red bellyband, her hair disheveled, crying beside him. Her face was indeed a ghastly white, which in the darkness was somewhat terrifying. It goes without saying that this was the effect of the flour that Tianqi had mixed into her face powder.

Another prostitute pointed at the peculiar sight between Ren Tianqi's legs and said, "How strange, in this cold garden, this little rascal's thing can still be like that, truly remarkable." Beside her, a client embraced her and laughed, saying, "What's so strange about this, my dear? Have you forgotten the last time I came to please you, when you joyfully called me 'heart and liver brother' all night? He must have taken some kind of aphrodisiac, haha, this kid hasn't even grown all his hair yet and he dares to take that stuff, it's really funny, so very funny."

He knew that this was something Zheng Bao'er often sold to customers at a high price. Although he did not understand its purpose, he had once asked Zheng Bao'er about it, and she said that this item would make a man more manly. Ren Tianqi was troubled by his own immaturity compared to Tu Shu, so this was naturally an interesting item. He would definitely find it useful tonight. Seeing that there were still three pills inside, he reached in and took two, tucking them into his pocket.

At this moment, Tianqi felt an intense heat throughout his body, and the part below his abdomen suddenly stood erect, unable to be restrained. This situation was unprecedented for him. He thought to himself: "This is bad; it must be because I ate those two 'Soul-Enhancing Tonics' from San Niang. Damn it, it's so hot, so hot." Fortunately, during the cold winter, he wore bulky cotton pants, so he was not in danger of embarrassing himself. However, his gaze towards Zhu Jiangxian had already become somewhat inappropriate. He thought to himself: "This is bad; it must be because I ate those two 'Soul-Enhancing Tonics' from San Niang. Damn it, it's so hot, so hot." Fortunately, during the cold winter, he wore bulky cotton pants, so he was not in danger of embarrassing himself. However, his gaze towards Zhu Jiangxian had already become somewhat inappropriate.

At that moment, another person emerged from the crowd, rushing towards Old Master Song and embracing him around the arms and waist, immediately dragging him back several steps. Old Master Song was furious and struggled to break free with all his might, but he could not move an inch. Startled, he turned to look; the man was of medium build, slightly hunched, with a beard covering his face. He recognized this person as Old Wang, the turtle keeper from "Spring Full Garden." Usually, he was seen serving tea and water, speaking little, yet unexpectedly, he possessed such great strength.

At this moment, Zheng Bao'er cried out loudly, "Indeed, it must be that shameless little hussy in the courtyard who is jealous of my business being better than hers, deliberately trying to harm me. Xia Xiang, you wretched woman, you usually look down on me; was it you who did this?" Then a young woman could be heard saying, "No, no, how could I do such a thing?"

In the crowd, a man with a slightly hunched back and a face full of thick whiskers responded with a sound, turned, and entered a room. Shortly after, he emerged with a leather whip adorned with small spikes and handed it to Bai Fangfang. Upon seeing this, Xia Xiang was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, repeatedly bowing her head and saying: "Mother, I truly did not do it, I am wronged."

Zhu Jiangxian originally saw this young man as completely compliant and infatuated with her, but unexpectedly, he showed some backbone. With a downcast expression, feigning disappointment, she said: "Forget it, I know you are unwilling to do this for me. You may leave now, go ahead."

Fan Lijuan has always been the most concerned about Ren Tianqi. However, due to her timid and cowardly nature, she had been too afraid to step forward. But seeing Tianqi being kicked so brutally, she could no longer hold back and rushed out from the crowd, throwing herself onto Tianqi. Facing Lord Song, she pleaded, "Lord Song, Tianqi is still a child. He did not mean to provoke you. Please forgive him, I beg you, I implore you."

Bai Fangfang completely did not believe her, giving a cold smile, and had already raised the whip

After she finished speaking, she forbade Fan Lijuan from attending to Tianqi and instructed everyone to return to their rooms. Tianqi slowly got up and returned to bed. That night, as soon as he closed his eyes, he was confronted with the mocking face of Zhu Jiangxian, which made him grit his teeth in anger. He did not manage to close his eyes for even a moment. It was at this moment that he first felt hatred towards beautiful women, and he secretly vowed that in this lifetime, he would never again fall for the tricks of these beautiful women.

Ren Tianqi was taken aback, stood up, and said: "Why does it seem different again"

Before reaching Bai Fangfang, Zheng Bao'er suddenly screamed: "It's my rose perfume, it can't be wrong, it's definitely this scent, it was indeed this little rascal who did it"

Zhu Jiangxian timidly pleaded with Ren Tianqi several times using soft words, but this time Ren Tianqi absolutely refused to agree no matter what.

Ren Tianqi waited until her graceful silhouette completely disappeared before finding a place to climb out again. Thinking of her last words, "I will wait for you that night," made him feel weak all over, his heart racing, and he nearly fell off the wall several times.

Old Wang released his hold on Elder Song and immediately bent down, saying: "Elder, Miss Fan is very frail and cannot withstand your kick; you should let her go."

At this thought, he immediately stepped down and said, "Alright, for the sake of Boss Bai, I will let this kid go." Not wanting to stay any longer, he lifted his foot and walked towards the courtyard exit. Old Wang hurriedly opened the door for him, and Grandpa Song couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, yet he found nothing unusual.

Ren Tianqi, who was originally a person of sharp wit and eloquence, found himself inexplicably flustered and tongue-tied upon encountering Zhu Jiangxian. His heart raced, and he could only manage a foolish smile, repeatedly saying, "I beg your pardon, I beg your pardon"

Under normal circumstances, Ren Tianqi would avoid such matters as far as possible and would never admit to them, even if it meant facing dire consequences. However, at this moment, he was in immense pain and only wished to be beaten up properly to feel somewhat better. Ignoring the astonished gazes of those around him, he walked straight towards Bai Fangfang.

Suddenly, there were two loud shouts, and in an instant, a large group of men and women surged out from behind the nearby rockery and flower beds. Each one was laughing and sneering, surrounding the scene with expressions of disdain and mockery. They were the patrons and courtesans from the "Juyanfang". They looked on as if watching a Western magic show. One courtesan laughed sharply and said, "Haha, Jiang Xian is indeed impressive, having this young man so enchanted that he is willing to do anything. I should have thought to try giving him a pile of dog feces and see if he would eat it."

Ren Tianqi was initially somewhat worried that Zhu Jiangxian would not show up, but now, upon seeing her, he was truly overjoyed. Not daring to spread his arms like a great roc during the day, he quietly jumped down from the wall and approached Zhu Jiangxian, saying: "Good girl, I have arrived."

As night fell and it was finally approaching midnight, Ren Tianqi sat up from his bed with great difficulty. He donned a silk robe and a melon-shaped hat, then sprinkled rose essence all over himself. Following that, he took out a mysterious "Soul-Soothing Great Supplement Pill" and swallowed it with some plain water. At that moment, he felt no particular benefit and did not dwell on it. Not daring to use the main entrance, he climbed over a low wall on the left side of the courtyard.

Upon seeing that Ren Tianqi's eyes were red, Zhu Jiangxian felt a twinge of fear in her heart, yet she still said: "Ren Tianqi, could you do me a favor?"

Ren Tianqi was originally a proud and arrogant person, but for the first time in his life, he was completely captivated by a woman. With the innocence of youth, he wanted to win the affection of his beloved. After all, no one was watching, and it wouldn't tarnish the image of the leader. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "No, this is too inappropriate, it would be embarrassing."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Song rushed forward and kicked Ren Tianqi in the abdomen, lifting him off the ground and causing him to kneel. He then proceeded to kick him repeatedly while cursing, "You bastard, I have tasted all the delicacies of heaven and earth, but I have never eaten shit. You little bastard have forced me to indulge in this, so I will let you taste a dish as well. https://mhetushu.com.com" As he spoke, he intensified his kicks.

As she raised the whip intending to strike him, she noticed that although Tian Qi was rolling on the ground, he wore an expression of indifference. With her extensive experience, she naturally guessed that this little rascal must have gone through something that made him feel utterly miserable. Gritting her teeth, she found herself unable to bring down the whip. Instead, she shouted: "Listen well, you little rascal Tian Qi, starting tomorrow, you will still be responsible for fetching water for the various rooms in the courtyard. Additionally, you must wash and prepare all the dishes for the guests' late-night snacks. I want to see if you still have the leisure to cause trouble."

It is said that Bai Fangfang, upon seeing Old Master Song finally leave, let out a long sigh of relief. Looking at Tian Qi lying on the ground, her anger flared up immediately, and she cursed, "You little bastard, you've caused me trouble again. I must be really foolish to have brought you in from the doorstep back then; I should have just thrown you far away to save myself the trouble."

Zhu Jiangxian turned her eyes and stood up, saying: "Forget it, I can't blame you. If you hadn't sneaked in, would you have wanted to be beaten as terribly as last time"

He suddenly spoke up, startling Zhu Jiangxian, who trembled violently. Turning around to see him, she then patted her chest and said, "Why did you come without a sound? You nearly scared me to death"

Recently, Ma Huajiao has had someone teach Zhu Jiangxian the art of seduction. Zhu Jiangxian is also filled with curiosity about men's bodies. Although tonight she intends to tease this toad who desires to eat swan meat, she also wishes to take a closer look. Upon seeing the incomplete form of Tianqi, which points directly to that thing in the sky, it truly opened her eyes for the first time. She felt both shy and scared, yet did not shy away, saying: "Your face is not pleasant to look at, but your skin is quite fair, resembling my little white dog closely. You should crawl on the ground." Upon seeing the incomplete form of Tianqi, which points directly to that thing in the sky, it truly opened her eyes for the first time. She felt both shy and scared, yet did not shy away, saying: "Your face is not pleasant to look at, but your skin is quite fair, resembling my little white dog closely. You should crawl on the ground."

As soon as the words were spoken, there were immediately two crisp sounds of "slap" followed by Zheng Bao'er’s sharp cries, suggesting she had been dealt two hard slaps. Then, Bai Fangfang's voice was heard saying: "Master Song, please calm down. Who doesn't know that you are the boss of the fishing dock in Hezhou City, with a large group of brothers under your command? Even if Bao'er had a thousand or ten thousand times the courage, she wouldn't dare to provoke you. It’s a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding"

At that moment, Zhu Jiangxian's face darkened, and she scolded, "Unappreciative fellow"

Old Master Song could be considered a local tyrant in Hezhou City. Having suffered such a significant loss, how could he quickly find relief? He viciously exclaimed, "You bitch, protecting this little bastard so fiercely, could it be that you are his biological mother? Fine, I will deal with both the old and the young together." Saying this, he raised his leg to kick at Fan Lijuan's waist. Fan Lijuan was frail, and if that kick landed, it would be beyond her capacity to endure.

Zhu Jiangxian's face suddenly displayed a look of sorrow and desolation, and in her autumn-like eyes, it seemed as if tears were about to fall. She spoke softly, "I just knew... I just knew that no one would do this for me, that there is no one in this world who treats me well"

Looking at Zhu Jiangxian's pitiful appearance and listening to her sorrowful voice, Ren Tianqi felt a surge of blood boiling within him. As long as this light beauty could be happy again, he wanted nothing more. He then exclaimed loudly: "Good girl, don't cry, I will take it off, I will take it off."

Zhu Jiangxian said: "When I was little, I loved to watch the little white dog in the house crawling around on the ground at night. Now that I am here, I can no longer see it, and I miss it so much. Can you pretend to be the little white dog crawling on the ground for me to see?"

Tian Qi silently put on his clothes, no longer glancing at Zhu Jiangxian, and climbed out by the wall. As soon as he landed, he sat down weakly, wanting nothing more than to cry out loud. Suddenly, the image of Zhu Jiangxian's coldly mocking face flashed in his mind, and he gritted his teeth, thinking: "That little bitch Zhu Jiangxian is toying with me; I've been fooled. If I cry now, it will only make my loss greater. Hmph, one day, I will definitely take revenge for this."

Old Master Song scrutinized Old Wang closely, noticing his respectful demeanor. The beard on his face seemed to have gone unshaven for quite some time, obscuring his true appearance, yet there was a glimmer of intelligence in his eyes. Although he was not a martial artist, he had been in the jianghu for two or three decades and naturally understood that the world is full of extraordinary individuals. While Old Wang might only possess a few pounds of brute strength, he may not necessarily be one of those remarkable figures. However, if such a person were to be provoked, it could lead to life-threatening consequences. It is better to be cautious and navigate the waters carefully, avoiding trouble whenever possible.

Upon his remark, everyone burst into laughter

He gritted his teeth and said, "Good girl, don't laugh at me." With a determined bite, he had already taken off his underwear

Upon her utterance, Ren Tianqi was taken aback and exclaimed, "How can this be done by taking off all the clothes?"

Hearing him boast, Zhu Jiangxian did not expose him but simply sighed softly and said, "What do you think we should do for fun?"

Although Ren Tianqi felt pain in his body, he found that his heart was indeed much more at ease. At that moment, he received a kick to the mouth, instantly splitting his lip and filling his mouth with blood. He suddenly spat it out and laughed wildly, saying: "Refreshing, refreshing, damn it, this is truly refreshing. Hit me harder, hit me harder."

He was quite lucky; just as he finished, Zheng Bao'er returned, and Ren Tianqi quickly buried his head outside, chopping firewood

Zhu Jiangxian said: "My little white dog is very white, unlike you who wears so many clothes. Hey, Ren Tiankai, could you take off your clothes and crawl over for me to see"

Then a patron remarked: "That's not the case. I didn't expect this kid to have some self-control; he actually didn't strip down and crawl on the ground. At his age, if I encountered a stunning beauty like Jiang Xian, I wouldn't just be willing to crawl; I would gladly dive right under her."

Ren Tianqi recalled that he had indeed been somewhat embarrassed last time, and he couldn't help but awkwardly scratch his head and said: "Four of them against me alone, that's not the mark of a hero. If it were one-on-one, I would definitely make them fall like scattered flowers."

Returning to "Spring Full Garden," Ren Tianqi was completely suffering from the torment of time. However, he was not entirely idle. First, he retrieved the silver he had privately stored for many years. Then he went out to the best silk shop on West Street and spent a fortune to buy a royal blue silk cotton robe and pants, along with a pair of deerskin boots. He also chose a melon-shaped hat adorned with fake gemstones, which he packed into a cloth bag to take home. Taking advantage of Zheng Bao'er being out, he sneaked into her room and found her makeup box under the dressing table. He first poured half of the rose essence she had bought for one or two silver coins into a small porcelain bottle. Looking at his blood-red, uneven face, he felt somewhat nauseous, so he went on to apply the face powder that Zheng Bao'er often used. However, after using more than half a bottle, the effect was still minimal, leaving him feeling quite dejected. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a small box next to the makeup box, with the words "Soul-Consuming Great Supplement Pills" written in red. Upon opening it, he found several black pills.

His heart was set on something, and he truly felt as if the wind was beneath his legs, as if he were riding on clouds. In an instant, he arrived at the backyard of "Juyanfang". He quickly climbed up to the wall where he had spoken with Zhu Jiangxian in the afternoon. Taking advantage of the serene moonlight, he looked down and indeed saw a woman sitting on a white stone in the garden. With her willow-like figure, who else could it be but Zhu Jiangxian.

At this moment, Tian Qi had completely understood what was happening. The humiliation and disgrace were beyond words; he felt as if thousands of arrows were piercing him, and countless saws were cutting into him, leaving him bloodied and breathless. He fixed his gaze on Zhu Jiangxian, suddenly sensing that her beautiful face was beginning to twist and deform. He gritted his teeth, striving not to let the tears flow.

Bai Fangfang also suspected that it was Chunmei who did it. She walked up to her and slapped her hard, saying: "You shameless woman, your audacity is growing bolder. It seems that if I don't let you experience my power, you will turn the world upside down. Lao Wang, go get my whip."

Although he tried hard to hold back his tears, the grief and indignation in his heart were more unbearable than crying out loud. He sat by the wall for a long time before finally standing up like a soft snake, taking slow steps towards "Chun Manyuan." When he arrived, it was as if he were riding on clouds, but now the journey back was a long and arduous one. The distance of several dozen zhang took him an hour to cover, and by this time it was already the deep night of the Yin hour. "Chun Manyuan" had closed its doors to guests, so he naturally had to climb over the wall to get in.

At that moment, a voice suddenly exclaimed loudly: "This is indeed not the doing of Xia Xianggan, do not mistake the person."

Ren Tianqi looked at Zhu Jiangxian, who was laughing and jumping into the crowd at that moment. The gaze directed at him was akin to that of a person looking at a mangy dog that had fallen into the water. Instantly, it felt as if he had been struck by lightning, or as if his spine had been split into eight pieces, pouring down half a bucket of icy water. He stood there, dazed, and said: "So it turns out... it turns out to be you... you were deceiving me"

In that moment, he quickly took off his clothes, and when he finally removed his trousers, he suddenly remembered that his member was still stubbornly erect. He hesitated again, but then heard Zhu Jiangxian say: "Forget it, I know you are unwilling, you... you should just leave."

Zheng Bao'er is not someone to be trifled with. If you take her things, you naturally have to find a way to return them. At this moment, Ren Tianqi's cleverness came into play. First, he fetched some clean water and poured it into a small porcelain bottle that contained rose essence. Then he went to the kitchen and asked Old Wang for a handful of flour, mixing it with the face powder. However, the "Soul-Soothing Great Supplement Pills" posed a bit of a challenge. After pondering for a while, he came up with an idea. He went out to the street and picked up two pieces of sheep dung that were roughly the same size. He then found some ink to soak the two pieces of dung black, and they really did resemble the "Soul-Soothing Great Supplement Pills," which gave Tianqi a great sense of accomplishment.

After teasing Tian Qi for a while, those people found it uninteresting. A turtle vendor approached and threw the clothes he had taken off onto himself, saying: "Get lost, you little bastard. If I see you again next time, be careful that I cut off your little thing and feed it to the fish"

Zhu Jiangxian clapped his hands and laughed, "Good, truly resembles, truly resembles"
