Chapter 219 The man behind the scenes
The Fairy Temple is located at the foot of the mountains between the southern part of Shengdu City and Xun'an Town.
A nun added oil to the lamp in front of the Buddhist hall, bowed three times to the closed-eyed Buddha statue, and went out to the Anle Hall at the back.
Inside Anle Hall, candles burned brightly, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime, yet also tinged with an ambiguous, dim yellow hue.
The air was filled with a sweet and rich blend of perfume, incense, and wine, tantalizing the senses.
Layers of shimmering gauze hung on the stage, like piled-up light clouds. The evening breeze quietly entered through the skylight, and the gauze danced gracefully with it.
The woman's graceful figure was partially revealed through the thin gauze, making her incredibly alluring.
The nun removed her monk's hat and robes, revealing a light and transparent gauze underneath.
In an instant, she transformed from a celibate monk into a graceful and alluring courtesan.
Easels were placed all around, painted with works that made one blush.
"Brother Wang, you are still vigorous despite your age!"
A group of men in brocade robes stood in front of each painting, commenting and critiquing it.
Each painting here depicts intimate moments in the bedroom, with the women's expressions of joy and pain rendered with remarkable realism, arousing a morbid aesthetic in this group of people.
"Haha! You're not bad either, bro. Try your tricks tonight."
The other person looked at their own work and burst into laughter.
"A stunning beauty has arrived tonight. Pinggu has been praising her to the skies, and she's also a talented woman. Brother Wang, do you have the confidence to win her over and train her?"
"No wonder there are so many people here tonight. Don't try to take it from me, little brother."
"Everyone here tonight is after the beauties. If they're really top-notch, why don't we brothers go together?"
The man looked at the man surnamed Wang with a lewd smile.
"also!"
Pinggu, the person in charge, appeared, swaying her hips as she wore a deep purple gauze dress.
"Everyone, the beauty will be out in a moment, so please don't be too impatient and scare her."
"Oh! If Aunt Ping says so, she must be a celestial being."
"Quickly, let the beauty out."
"Yes, we all came for the beauty."
"What's the rush, everyone? After this dance, we'll bring the beauty on stage."
When the dance ended and the music stopped, everyone craned their necks to look at the stage.
Bathed in moonlight, a graceful figure slowly emerged from behind the thin gauze, leaning against the soft couch.
Looking at her soft and graceful figure, some lecherous men couldn't help but slurp.
The veil was removed, and everyone could see the beautiful woman lying there, her face covered by a veil, her beautiful eyes revealing a mixture of clarity and allure.
"She is truly an absolute beauty."
"The beauty is mine tonight, and I'm going to make an offer."
Pinggu nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, there was no fuss or disturbance, and she had given him a dignified entrance. Judging from the atmosphere tonight, she was going to make a fortune.
[Thank goodness my sister didn't come in person. She looked so alluring. Even though it wasn't her lying there, it still felt like her silhouette. It was a huge loss, a real loss.]
Ye Yaoyao and Ye Xiyao did not leave the Fairy Temple; instead, they disguised themselves as customers of prostitutes and appeared there.
Looking at her 'self' on the stage and listening to the vulgar discussions below, Ye Xiyao, who was usually very good-tempered, silently recited a calming mantra in her heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this beauty has a special identity; she is a renowned and talented woman. The starting price is five thousand taels."
"Ping Gu, who is this talented woman?"
"Take off the veil and let everyone see."
"Yes, sir, I haven't slept with a talented woman yet. Really, I'll offer fifty thousand taels."
There was a cacophony of shouts from below.
Hearing even harsher words, Ye Yaoyao became angry, but still managed to comfort Ye Xiyao.
Looking around, I saw that there were indeed people I had seen before, and I looked up at the building.
There must be someone behind the scenes upstairs. System, can you detect how many people are in each room?
There are people everywhere.
The upstairs window was ajar, and Ye Yaoyao would look up from time to time. As soon as she saw someone, she would immediately ask the system to check.
Pinggu removed her veil, and many people gasped.
"It's the talented Ye Xiyao."
Those who recognized Ye Xiyao were excited and their eyes lit up.
"Ping Gu is amazing, she even managed to get Miss Ye here."
That's what he said, but he wasn't afraid at all. On the contrary, he stared lustfully at the dazed beauty on the stage.
"You all know her, but who is she?"
"The most talented woman in the world, on par with the Crown Princess."
"Let her lie beneath me, and I can fantasize about being intimate with the Crown Princess. Tonight, it's all worth it, no matter how much it costs."
“His father’s and mother’s families are even better than the Crown Princess’s.”
Setting up the location here ensures secrecy; these people don't care about the girl's background, their humanity is already twisted.
"I'll offer ten thousand taels."
"Twenty thousand taels."
"Fifty thousand taels."
[Host, we have information from behind the scenes. That madam was once involved in a sexual relationship between Prince Zhao and the Liang family. They are the ones who are backing her up.]
[Prince Zhao, a member of the royal family, is known as a wise and virtuous prince. Oh dear, his reputation is about to collapse.]
"I think Ye Xiyao is even more beautiful than the Crown Princess. Brother Liang, are you going to send her away without enjoying her first?"
The heir of the Prince Zhao's mansion on the second floor opened a small crack to look at the stage, a flash of disgust in his eyes.
"Has the young master taken an interest in women?" Liang Xiaozhe asked rhetorically.
If so, he would have to look at Ye Xiyao with new respect, for this man was indeed a homosexual.
"I am not unaware of my aversion to women, Brother Liang. When I saw you fawning over Ye Xiyao earlier, I thought you were somewhat attracted to her."
Liang Xiaozhe's eyes were filled with a cold, icy light. He had thought that marrying Ye Xiyao wouldn't be bad if he couldn't have the one he loved, but she was too ungrateful and only fit to be played with by his subordinates.
"Two hundred thousand, that's really valuable."
The Crown Prince of Zhao closed the window, which was spotted by Ye Yaoyao.
[System, can you tell who's there?]
Those two families are the real villains.
[Good, justice will be served soon.]
Ye Xiyao couldn't understand why she had been kidnapped and brought here simply because she had rejected Liang Xiaozhe.
"Three hundred thousand, is there anything higher than three hundred thousand?"
The price had already reached 300,000, and no one else was bidding.
"I didn't know she was a renowned talented woman in the capital. She didn't bring enough silver notes, and that person got a good deal."
Many people below felt regretful, but Pinggu smiled and fell silent.
"Congratulations, Mr. Ma, tonight's beauty is yours."
Ye Yaoyao watched as Master Ma rolled his eyes in disgust. At his advanced age, his face was covered in chrysanthemums, and he had such a long face. He was indeed Master Ma.
The system intended to broadcast information about Master Ma, but Ye Yaoyao stopped it, as she was only interested in the mastermind behind the scenes.
[Dad and the others should be breaking in by now!]
"Why not me? It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung."
Most people sighed with regret, and Ping asked someone to help 'Ye Xiyao' into the room.
"Someone, quickly take Master Ma and our beauty into the bridal chamber."
"Beauty, here I come."
Mr. Ma, grinning with yellow teeth, excitedly walked onto the stage, but collapsed to the ground as soon as he took the first step.
A murderous glint flashed in the beauty's eyes.
Ye Xiyao found it too offensive and covered her eyes with one hand.
Ye Jingyang and Lian Jin, who were not far from the exit, were also there.
"Haha! Master Ma is too excited. Will he be unable to be the groom tonight?"
The people below laughed loudly.
"If it doesn't work, I'll do it."
The laughter didn't last long before everyone, like Mr. Ma, slumped helplessly in their seats.
Everyone in the room lost their strength.
