Chapter 238 Redemption
Her initial questions sounded like she was ignorant, but her later words sounded like she knew everything... In short, it was all very strange. Tu Xiaoxiao looked at her with a strange expression: "When you went in, wasn't there an introduction at the entrance?"
Shen Yao: "There was no introduction. They just pulled me in."
"I even asked if this was a restaurant, and the female nun who greeted me at the door said it was a restaurant."
Tu Xiaoxiao was speechless: "Didn't you see the couplet at the door?"
Shen Yao thought for a moment: "Drinking in the fragrance of spring, appreciating the clouds and singing songs, indulging in a lifetime of passion; savoring fine wine and painting colorful clothes, not wasting the mortal world. The couplet is quite well written, and it looks like a high-end restaurant."
Tu Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with amusement: "Drinking Fanghua and appreciating Yunge is drinking and listening to music with the female tutors, and drinking fine wine and painting rainbow dresses is drinking and appreciating dances with male prostitutes. They are all male prostitutes, so it is called Fanghua and Qingjiu."
Shen Yao was dumbfounded. How could this be? Who could have imagined it would be like this?
"Oh dear!" She suddenly remembered Qing Tong: "I have to go back. I promised to redeem a servant."
Tu Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly rose: "You also promised to redeem the male prostitute?"
Shen Yao said with dissatisfaction, "What male prostitute? He was a waiter who served me."
Tu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly: "There are no waiters inside, only male prostitutes."
The fairy understood; no wonder Qing Tong clung to her when he led her inside.
The image of Qing Tong's pitiful appearance and his forced self-destruction flashed through her mind. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to help him anyway.
She summoned her flying sword to leave, but Tu Xiaoxiao grabbed her: "Where are you going?"
Shen Yao pulled her arm away: "I have to go to Zui Hongyan and redeem Qing Tong."
Tu Xiaoxiao frowned even more deeply: "Do you know how to redeem it?"
"I don't know, we'll see when we get there. Anyway, I can afford to redeem it for whatever price I need." The fairy spoke with great confidence, then waved to Tu Xiaoxiao and said, "You should go back now, lest you get assassinated again."
Tu Xiaoxiao stopped her and said, "The immortal cultivator who tried to assassinate me was sent by Jiang Ming."
Shen Yao looked surprised: "Why would Jiang Ming want to kill you?"
Tu Xiaoxiao's anger, which had been building up, was about to burst: "Why do you say that?"
"How would I know?" The fairy was truly as wooden as a block of wood: "Then you'd better be careful, Jiang Ming is very troublesome."
She urged Tu Xiaoxiao to hurry up and leave: "Go home quickly, safety first. I'll be back after I redeem Qingtong."
Tu Xiaoxiao was furious. Few things could make him so angry. He was so angry that he was caught between a rock and a hard place, feeling suffocated and having nowhere to vent his anger!
You want to redeem the male prostitute, huh? I'd like to see if you'll still do it now that you know the redemption method.
He jumped onto Shen Yao's flying sword, grabbed her arm, and coldly said, "I'll go with you." Without waiting for the fairy's agreement, he propelled the flying sword toward Zui Hongyan.
News of a wealthy man booking the entire venue for a private event spread, making Zui Hongyan a lively place tonight. Guests came and went in an endless stream, and a sign indicating that the venue was full was hung up early at the main entrance, with only two guards left to stand watch.
Shen Yao went straight to the third floor, took the room number, found the room, and knocked on the door.
Qing Tong waited in the room. During this time, Xing Gu came by once and said that the girl's name was Shen Yao. She had booked the whole place tonight to entertain guests, but her husband came to find her here and she jumped out of the window and ran away.
Qing Tong sat in the room, feeling uneasy and wondering if Miss Shen would still keep the appointment. He felt that he was just fantasizing, but he was unwilling to leave and give up this glimmer of hope.
Finally, he heard a knock at the door and opened it with anticipation: "Young lady, you've come..."
Shen Yao and a male cultivator were standing outside the door.
Upon seeing the male cultivator's fox ears, Qing Tong guessed he was most likely a cultivator from the Tu family. He secretly glanced at Shen Yao, then immediately lowered his head, thinking, 'Since your husband is a fox demon from the Tu family, you probably wouldn't be interested in me…'
Tu Xiaoxiao stared coldly at Qing Tong and asked Shen Yao in a chilling voice, "A tenth-rank green python demon, are you really going to redeem him?"
The eight-tailed fox had just survived an assassination attempt and still carried a murderous aura. The powerful killing intent sent chills down Qing Tong's spine.
Shen Yao seemed very pleased: "So you're a snake demon."
Some of the sea serpent demons in the Octopus Sea look very soft and cute, and she has a good impression of them.
She rolled her eyes at Tu Xiaoxiao: "Don't be discriminatory."
Tu Xiaoxiao: "You rolled your eyes at me? You actually rolled your eyes at me for the sake of a low-level cultivator?"
Shen Yao ignored him and said gently to Qing Tong, "Let's go, let's go redeem you."
Qing Tong took a step back, making way for the door, and whispered, tugging at her fingers, "Miss... you can redeem yourself here..."
Just as Shen Yao was about to go in, Tu Xiaoxiao rushed into the room first, sat down on a chair, and pointed to the large bed in the room: "Come on, I'll watch you redeem yourselves."
When Shen Yao went inside, she was surprised to see that the bed was huge!
She had a bad feeling and asked Qing Tong in surprise, "How do I redeem myself?"
Qing Tong's face flushed red, and she stammered guiltily, "This brother is looking at...me...we..."
Tu Xiaoxiao stood up, walked to Qing Tong, and coldly scrutinized him, saying sternly, "Do you really think she's innocent?"
Their conversation was loaded with hidden meaning, and Shen Yao noticed something amiss. She blurted out, "What do you mean?"
Qing Tong was filled with shame, and tears streamed down her face as she pleaded, "Qing Tong didn't mean to hide it, but if you don't wish it..."
He took out a brocade bag containing one hundred knives and handed it to Shen Yao: "These one hundred knives are returned to you, Miss."
Shen Yao didn't take it. She was joking; she was so rich, there was no reason to take it back once she gave it away. "What's yours is yours now. Explain yourself to me first."
Qing Tong dared not deceive him any longer and explained the rules for redeeming herself.
Is there really such a rule? A courtesan has to give her body to her patron before she can leave? The rule is a bit unreasonable, but it's also easy to break.
Shen Yao wasn't displeased after hearing this: "Oh, so that's how it is."
Qing Tong was somewhat surprised by her relaxed tone, and only then did she dare to look up at her: "You don't blame me, Miss?"
Shen Yao didn't care whether the eight-tailed fox next to her looked good or not, and said generously, "Why blame you? You had no choice."
She reached out and patted Qing Tong's shoulder to comfort her: "This is easy to handle. I'll stay here tonight, and we can spend the night here together."
Qing Tong's eyes lit up with joy, while Tu Xiaoxiao's expression cracked. He grabbed Shen Yao's arm: "Are you really going to do this?"
The fairy nodded: "Yes, I promised to redeem him from his servitude."
The eight-tailed fox lost his composure. He pointed at Qing Tong and asked Shen Yao, "If he can do it, why can't I?"
He released his eight fox tails, his tone resentful: "He's just a tenth-rank snake demon, while I'm a third-rank fox ancestor!"
Eight snow-white fox tails stood upright behind Tu Xiaoxiao. Qing Tong was so shocked that she took a step back. The girl's husband was actually a third-class demon ancestor. How many lives did he have? He actually dared to try to share a wife with a demon ancestor.
Before Shen Yao could explain, Tu Xiaoxiao used her fox tail to wrap her up and throw her onto the bed. Then she leaned over and pressed down on her: "You said you only want Feng Yu in this life, but you're making an exception for a male prostitute. Now that I'm selling myself to Zui Hongyan, do you want to redeem me too?"
