Tao Yi, burdened with such a heavy task, immediately lead the way at the front. From time to time he would try to curry favor with Mo Qingyu, saying, “Eldest Princess, please come this way, please come this way!”
Mo Qingyu noticed that a strange smell was emitting from Tao Yi’s body, knitting together her eyebrows. However, just as she was about to get angry she felt a cold stare coming from her back, causing a cold tremor to go through her body, the words she had been ready to say swallowed stiffly into her body. At the same time, Tao Yi led the group into the opening of a large hall.
Yue Yao had of course noticed that there was something abnormal going on between Mo Qingyu and Mo Qingli. Formerly, the Sixth Princess had been nothing but a flunkey at the Eldest Princess’s side, licking her boots. In contrast to today; Yue Yao raised her head to looked at the Sixth Princess walking ahead of her, unhurriedly strolling through the hall, on her face an expressionless look. There was completely no sign of the fawning that had occurred in the former days. To her complete surprise, the Eldest Princess did not seem to care, her face looking as if she had eaten something bitter, completely clamming up and refusing the speak.
In the end, what exactly had just happened inside that room?
Carelessly, lost in her thoughts, Yue Yao accidentally b.u.mped into Mo Qingli, who had completely stopped walking. A sudden chill swept through her body, and just as she prepared to kneel onto the ground, a pair of slender hands supported her. “Careful, watch where you’re going.”
That indifferent voice was the same as ever, but nevertheless when Yue Yao heard the concern about her, translucent tears began to gather at the edge of her eye. Before, the princess had seemed weak and cowardly to people on the outside, but once they returned to their quarters, she would beat and scold the servants with no good reason. Someone who had previously held such disdain for people below her rank, had unexpectedly recently held concern for Yue Yao.
“Yes, Princess.” Thousands of words that she wanted to say at this moment were transformed into a simple phrase with two words.
Mo Qingli did not see Yue Yao’s sudden change in emotion, turning away, and looked at the ruckus inside the hall. Without meaning to she rubbed the skin between her eyebrows; the vigorousness of these mortals was really too powerful! The sound of excited cheers and screeches never abated, didn’t these people need rest?
Tao Yi had already arranged for the two of them to sit in reserved guest positions in the front, so that they would be close enough to see clearly the courtesanss.
Mo Qingyu satisfactorily nodded her head, the pent-up frustrations that she had had before now vanis.h.i.+ng into smoke. Her att.i.tude became happy, giving Tao Yi a great deal of compliments.
After making sure that Mo Qingli had also been seated, Tao Yi hurriedly went backstage to change his clothes. Afterwards he went onto the stage, clearing his throat, and then loudly said, “Everybody, please be silent, please be silent.”
The surrounding noise from the crowd gradually quieted down, looking at Tao Yi, who was standing on the stage. Though Tao Yi was no longer as young as he used to be, it was still possible to see the extreme good looks that he had possessed in the past.
“I’m extremely grateful to everyone for attending our auction for the courtesans.” He paused for a moment, taking advantage of the loud cheers and applause from the crowd, before continuing on: “This time in the auction there are many beauties from different regions and places, including ones that are beautiful to cause war between countries. I can promise everyone here, that you’ll love them all so much you won’t be able to get your hands off.”
“Woowoo…”
“Hurry up and start, this old aunty won’t be able to wait any longer.”
“Hurry up, hurry and let those beauties show themselves.”
“Hurry!”
Below the stage came an array of different vulgar sounds and noises, making even Mo Qingli, this ten-thousand year old jiangs.h.i.+, blush with shame. Just how hungry were these women? Even if I went without blood for a few months, I wouldn’t behave like this. Ah…humanity really had such a voracious appet.i.te. She finally realized at that moment why the Jade Emperor had ordered her to the human world to experience the seven emotions and six desires. If she hadn’t seen this with her own eyes, she would never been able to imagine, that this crowd of women were even more violent than a jiangs.h.i.+…
Tao Yi, at seeing the excitement of the audience below, felt his insides boil with glee. It seemed that this time he would be able to cash in a lot of money. By habit, his eyes went to Mo Qingyu and Mo Qingli; as long as the of them were there, these courtesans would be able to earn a lot of money for him. Hahaha…
“Begin!” Tao Yi did not waste his time on superfluous words, throwing out two words before exiting the stage.
Immediately, the sound of the crowd cheering was coupled with the sound of music.
