The sound of the piano stopped, and Yun Huan'er seemed to still be immersed in her own world, unable to extricate herself. Her face was slightly pale, as if she was a little tired, and there was a trace of sadness and confusion in her bright eyes.
Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes and said nothing, as if he was deep in thought.
Suddenly, he suddenly turned his head, stared at the guqin in front of him, stretched out his hand to grab it quickly, and in the next moment, the guqin instantly fell off the table and was taken directly into his palm.
"..."
"..."
Yun Huan'er, Liu Shen and the two maids were all startled by this sudden change. What's going on? Why did the guqin fly away with just a slight grasp?
"Brother Chu, you..."
Liu Shen was the first to speak, and was about to ask, but suddenly saw the look in his eyes and stopped saying anything.
As for Yun Huan'er, she was obviously very smart and sat there quietly, watching the development of the matter. Not only that, when she looked at Chu Feng again at this time, a gleam of splendor flashed involuntarily in her bright eyes.
The silver-white guqin was held in Chu Feng's hand. It was very calm at first and there was nothing abnormal. However, when Chu Feng's palm lit up with a faint purple light, he suddenly lost his composure. It was as if there was suddenly life, and the silver light
It burst out and vibrated violently. It was obvious that he was extremely afraid of this purple light.
"Haha, you hide it quite well."
Chu Feng's eyes were cold, with a hint of ridicule. As soon as his mind moved, he saw the purple light in his hand flashing rapidly, and it instantly penetrated into the interior of the guqin.
In the short time it took to take a breath, a sharp sound was heard, but a silver-white brilliance instantly shot out through the piano. Suspended in the air and gradually gathering together, it turned out to be a silver-white giant python several feet long and with ferocious eyes.
Chu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he carefully looked at the giant python, or in other words, a strange beast that looked like a python. There was still a big gap between it and a real python. The whole body was covered with tough scales, and there were a pair of wings on its ribs.
It is also full of sharp teeth.
What made him even more confused was that the giant python's vertical pupils were filled with a rich black energy, which looked like the energy of a true demon.
At this time, Xiao Zi had already chased him out, but he transformed into a larger purple dragon and swallowed it in one gulp without giving the opponent any time to react.
"ah……"
A terrified scream followed, but it was one of the maids. Obviously, she was the timidest and was frightened by such a scene. As for the remaining three, they could barely hold on, but their faces were a little pale.
Chu Feng glanced at the other party and didn't pay much attention to it. At this time, the sea of consciousness was carefully sensing the situation in Xiao Zi's body. The silver-white giant python should be the same as the weapon spirit in the guqin. Naturally, it is not Xiao Zi's opponent. It is almost
He was killed instantly.
"It's not magic!"
There was a flash of purple light, but Xiao Zi suddenly dissipated and disappeared into the center of his eyebrows. A single black energy was deliberately left behind, floating in the palm of Chu Feng's palm.
From the induction of the unknown black energy, we can know that it is not the same as the real demonic energy we have seen before. However, one thing is very similar, that is, it is filled with strong negative energy.
Of course, there are many types of negative energy, and there is no fixed pattern. For example, the wisp in your hand has the effect of corroding vitality and confusing the mind.
The purple fire rose up in the palm of his hand, but it directly burned the black energy clean. He looked at the few people in the hall who dared not move again, and couldn't help but smile slightly:
"never mind."
"No...it's okay." Liu Shen took a deep breath and then asked stutteringly,
"Chu...Brother Chu, what the hell was that thing just now? It was so scary?"
"It's a spirit." Chu Feng touched the silver-white guqin in his hand and continued,
"If Mr. Chu guessed correctly, the wood used to make this guqin should be some kind of spiritual wood. It has grown for a long time, thus giving birth to spiritual wisdom, which is what we saw before..."
At this point, Chu Feng suddenly stopped talking. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong. The spirit of the white python was a bit strange, and it was possible that he had some hidden agenda. He turned to look at Yun Huan'er and asked again,
"Miss Yun, can you tell me about the origin of this guqin for Mr. Chu?"
"Of course." Yun Huan'er didn't hesitate at all, but she turned her eyes and said,
"This matter involves some privacy of the little girl, so you can't do it here. You need to go to my boudoir."
"..."
Chu Feng looked at the other party in surprise, are you saying this as an invitation, and you are not worried about what I will do? Liu Shen on the side even had his eyes widened, looking at him full of 'jealousy', and thought to himself
, how much luck have you got, kid?
"Why, what worries does Mr. Chu have?" Yun Huan'er stared at him with a half-smile.
"hehe."
Chu Feng smiled and said nothing, but at this moment, the power of his spiritual consciousness suddenly burst out, knocking everyone except Liu Shen and the two maids unconscious. He pinched the magic formula with both hands, and in an instant, he saw three
Purple light emerged and sank into the eyebrows of the three people at the same time.
"They need to rest for a while. Miss Yun, can you call someone to take care of them for a while?"
"Okay, Mr. Chu, come with me."
Yun Huan'er's bright eyes were shining and brilliant. However, she didn't say anything. She turned around and walked out of the living room.
No one outside knew what happened in the attic. Madam Lin was also a little surprised and asked several servants to help take care of it, but she was puzzled in her heart.
Of course, Chu Feng didn't care about this and followed Yun Huan'er into the depths of the courtyard and walked towards another remote small building.
Entering it, you go directly to the second floor. Unlike the previous one, which is mainly used to receive guests, this is where the other person's real boudoir is.
The surrounding furnishings, arrangements, etc. have all changed to a different style, which is completely different from the temperament shown by the other party before, as if she has transformed from a simple and elegant lady into a little girl who has not grown up in an instant.
Such a sudden change made Chu Feng stunned. He still didn't understand that everything before was just pretending and acting.
"Will Young Master Chu be disappointed?" Yun Huan'er suddenly asked, as if she had guessed his thoughts.
"Why do you ask?"
"Mom said that men are all the same and they all like women like that. Now that I have returned to my original appearance, will it make you feel unattractive?"
"There are millions of people in the world, and everyone has different preferences, and their attractions also vary from person to person."
"What about Mr. Chu, what is your preference? Are you a lady from a big family, or a jade from a small family?"
Chu Feng looked at the other party with interest for a while, and then replied:
"you guess……"
"you……"
Yun Huan'er almost vomited blood. This person was so cunning. He deliberately didn't answer her questions. He even asked me to guess. You're a big-headed idiot.
He walked forward somewhat gloomily, and soon he arrived at the door of a room. Without any hesitation, he pushed the door open and entered.
"Come in, Mr. Chu."
Chu Feng smiled, Yun Huan'er looked more real like this, and he was not so reserved when getting along with her. Then he stepped forward and entered the room.
another place,
Mrs. Lin was instructing her subordinates to carry Liu Shen to the bed, and kept telling her to take good care of him. But at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came.
"My boss, it's not good. The lady took that man to the boudoir."
"What!" Lin was startled and immediately exclaimed,
"This...how is this possible? Is that girl crazy?"
"Don't worry, boss. They just entered. Nothing much will happen even if you think about it."
"That won't work, young men and women, it's not easy to have a passionate relationship. Besides, if you let the other party see the situation in the boudoir, everything will be revealed. You stay here and I will go there myself."
Ms. Lin didn't dare to hesitate anymore and hurried outside. Her speed was extremely fast, and after a while she arrived in front of the small building and entered it eagerly.
However, something unexpected happened to her. After entering the door, she suddenly saw a flash of purple light, but her vision went dark and she fainted.
"What's wrong?"
In the boudoir on the second floor, Yun Huan'er saw Chu Feng suddenly frowning and asked.
"Your madam is here, but she was temporarily knocked unconscious by me on the first floor."
"Will mom be okay?"
"Are you worried about her?"
Chu Feng was a little surprised. Considering their identities, they should not be too close under normal circumstances.
"I was an orphan and had no one to rely on. If my mother hadn't taken me in, I would have starved to death on the streets. Where would I be today? Although my mother's original intention was to make money, she also saved my life.
With the grace of upbringing, how can I ignore these?"
"What if, I mean if, she is tempted by money or forced by power and makes you do something you don't want to do, what should you do?"
"I……"
Yun Huan'er was stunned immediately and remained silent for a long time.
She was only seventeen years old, the best age in her life, but she had never thought about such a thing. In other words, she deliberately avoided it, indulged in the illusion of being pursued by countless people, and did not want to think about it.
.
But I didn't expect that today I would be asked directly and mercilessly by the other party. When all the false beauty was torn apart, what was left was the bloody reality.
Perhaps, one day, I will be like my mother and embark on that path. From being unwilling at first, to adapting, and finally becoming numb.
Thinking of this, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell straight to the floor with a 'plop'. At this moment, all the support in her heart collapsed instantly and disappeared into ashes.
Chu Feng sighed and didn't want to express any opinions. After all, everyone has their own choice, and others can't stop it.
Just like in the inner world, the brothel industry also exists. He is not a moral gentleman and does not deliberately eliminate it. The only difference is that there is a holy island in the inner world, which has the power to coerce everything.
If there is any injustice in the world, as long as you pray in your heart, the guards of the Holy Island will arrive in an instant to provide justice.
In this way, not only brothels, but all industries will become standardized. As for ordinary people, they are free to choose their own path. As long as you are willing, no one will stop you.
"Have you ever thought about changing this life?"
"Young Master, are you going to redeem your life for me?" Upon hearing this, Yun Huan'er's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had grasped her only hope, she stared at him and asked.
"..."
Chu Feng paused for a moment, but did not refuse directly. He was worried that after speaking out, the other party would lose all hope. Although he was already a famous courtesan, he could not hide that the other party was only seventeen years old and his heart was too fragile.
Of course, redemption was impossible, otherwise, his trip would have been in vain. He still had some plans to make, and the Yun Huan'er in front of him was his temporary target.
"Chu needs to do something and recruit some people. It just so happens that the girl is a suitable candidate. As long as the girl is willing, then you belong to me, and no one can force you to do anything against your will."
"Do you dislike being a slave?"
Yun Huan'er was very smart, but she couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's words, so her eyes suddenly darkened.
"What's your expression? Did my words just now reveal a hint of disdain for you?"
"Then why aren't you willing to redeem yourself for me?"
Hearing this, Chu Feng's face turned dark and he scolded:
"I said, you girl, why do you love to get into trouble so much? As my subordinate, isn't it good to rely on your own ability to make a living? If you insist on holding on to redeem yourself, do you think you are a waste and can do nothing but be a concubine for others?
meeting?"
"I have dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs. These are all just to dress myself up. The purpose is to please men. What else can I do if I don't become a concubine?"
"Snapped……"
"Oh...you actually hit me?"
Yun Huan'er covered her forehead and was about to cry, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Hitting you will make you sober up. You know poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but you can't say anything. What do you want the parallel-imported intellectuals outside to think, and what do you want the ordinary people who can't read a single word to think?"
"Pfft..."
When Yun Huan'er heard the title of parallel import literati, she couldn't control herself for some reason and burst out laughing. Having seen them many times, she naturally knew how despicable those so-called 'talents' were.
"Just now you looked like you were dying, and now you are smiling so happily. Girl, is there something wrong with your mental state?"
"You're the one with the problem."
Yun Huan'er rolled her eyes at him charmingly. Somehow, at the moment when the other party slapped her on the forehead, she suddenly figured it out and was no longer sad.
Yes, this person is so mysterious and has incredible methods, just like the legendary gods. Being his subordinate is not bad, it is much better than pretending to be a lady all day long and dealing with those stinky men now.
"What exactly do you want me to do?"
Seeing that the other party figured it out so quickly, Chu Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised. However, women's minds are inherently complicated, and this girl has a weird and ever-changing personality, so anything can happen.
"It is true that there is something important for you to do. However, we will talk about it later. For now, let's talk about the guqin. What is the origin of this thing? I am very curious."
"Silver scales?" Yun Huan'er was suddenly startled, her eyes lingered on the silver-white guqin in front of her for a moment, and then she continued,
"This starts from ten years ago, when I was still young and my mother forced me to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day. At that time, I was very talented in all kinds of talents, but I was only incapable of music theory, which made me suffer terribly...
…”
Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, as if recalling the original scene,
"Until one day, I met a monk who came to ask for alms. He told me that I could go to a temple where there would be a solution to my problem."
"Monk, temple?"
Chu Feng looked slightly startled, and his eyes became cold and stern.
