The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Then, they spurred their horses and rushed towards the direction of Qiyun City. Although Su Changfeng had never ridden a horse before, learning to ride wasn’t difficult for him; he quickly got accustomed to it.

By the next evening, the two of them arrived at Qiyun City, which was gradually bustling with activity.

As soon as Wang Junyi entered the city gate, he wanted to go to the Red Powder River. Su Changfeng also noticed that the number of women in Qiyun City far exceeded that in Tianshui City. The streets were bustling, mostly with women, all of whom were not bad-looking, making it seem like they had wandered into Women Country.

”Master, shall we go to the Red Powder River now?” Wang Junyi impatiently asked Su Changfeng.

”Let’s go.” As the core of Qiyun City, Su Changfeng definitely wanted to see for himself.

Not far from the city gate was a river, with many boat rental shops calling out loudly, obviously soliciting for business.

Being the son of the City Lord of Tianshui City, Wang Junyi certainly didn’t lack money, so he rented one of the most expensive flower boats available.

Once on the boat, Wang Junyi explained to Su Changfeng, ”Master, you don’t know, there’s a lot more to this. The better the boat, the more it attracts the attention of the girls. When I came before, those girls were very enthusiastic.”

”Without a boat, can’t you stroll around the Red Powder River?” Su Changfeng asked curiously. It seemed that this activity was designed for the wealthy. Without money, people couldn’t enjoy the sights of Red Powder River.

”No, without a boat, you can only stroll along the banks. But the young and beautiful women naturally won’t pay attention to the men on the banks, perhaps only some older unappealing ones might glance at them,” said Wang Junyi.

When renting a boat, the shop provided staff to row, so Su Changfeng and Wang Junyi just needed to stand at the bow and put on airs.

As time passed, the Red Powder River appeared before Su Changfeng.

Just as Wang Junyi mentioned earlier, on both sides of the riverbank, a line of graceful and young beautiful women clad in colorful gauze waved silk handkerchiefs in their hands, eagerly soliciting guests. Especially when they saw the flower boat Su Changfeng was on, the group of women went crazy, each desperately flaunting their charms and winking at Su Changfeng, practically wishing they could rush onto the boat.

”Young master, I can do anything, could you let me serve you?”

”Young master, young master, look here, look here...”

”Young master, I’m here...”

Faced with such a situation, Wang Junyi was overjoyed, his eyes shining brightly, while Su Changfeng felt a bit strange. In his world, such a trade was not allowed, and he had never seen such an uninhibited scene.

However, the beauty of the women on both banks indeed exceeded Su Changfeng’s expectations. Each could rate as a great beauty, with both looks and figure to match. If placed in his world, they would probably captivate many men.

”Master, aren’t they beautiful?” Wang Junyi asked Su Changfeng with a proud face.

”I see the women here are not bad, then why are you so infatuated with Shen Rushuang?” Su Changfeng asked with a smile.

”Master, though these women are not bad, they are after all brothel women. It’s fine to taste something fresh, but how can they be taken home as wives?” Wang Junyi replied.

”Then what generally happens to them in the end? They can’t do this forever, can they?” Su Changfeng asked with curiosity.

Wang Junyi had never thought about this. He came here for fun and naturally hadn’t considered such matters, as they weren’t of concern to him.

Though he hadn’t looked into it, he was vaguely aware that the women in this trade would probably have a bleak later life. If lucky, they might be taken home as a concubine, but they could never shake off the label of a brothel woman.

”Master, why do you ask these things?” Wang Junyi said.

”Just curious,” Su Changfeng smiled. If it were in their world, these girls might return to their hometown, marry a simple honest man, and perhaps live a stable life.

But this was basically impossible here, because they had signed themselves over to the brothel, unable to control their own destinies.

When the flower boat reached the middle of the Red Powder River, Wang Junyi ordered the helper to stop the boat. It wasn’t just him; many people had stopped their boats. Clearly, this was the place with the highest number of docked boats.

Earlier, Wang Junyi told Su Changfeng that there was a shop here which could prepare virgins for customers, so many people chose to stop their boats here.

”Master, soon we can start bidding. If you like someone, just say the word, no matter the cost, your disciple will definitely secure her for you,” Wang Junyi said to Su Changfeng.

For Su Changfeng, Wang Junyi didn’t mind such things. If he could please Su Changfeng, even if it meant squandering all the City Lord Mansion’s wealth, he wouldn’t care.

”Forget it, I’ll just enjoy the show.”

After Su Changfeng spoke, he saw a frail girl being pushed out. Her head hung low, her body trembling slightly, clearly very frightened, unlike the other enthusiastic girls soliciting customers.

In Qiyun City, such situations were probably commonplace, but Su Changfeng couldn’t quite bear it.

At this moment, many guests had already started bidding. Clearly, they were very interested in this virgin, the bidding price growing higher and higher, reducing the number of bidders.

Ultimately, Su Changfeng couldn’t hold back and asked Wang Junyi, ”How much would it cost to redeem her freedom?”

”Master, you intend to buy her freedom?” Wang Junyi asked with a surprised expression, wondering if his master had fallen in love at first sight. But this was a woman from Red Powder River in Qiyun City!

”Is my sympathy too overflowing?” Su Changfeng sighed. Rationally, he knew this matter wasn’t something that could be clarified with a few words, but growing up with modern education, he indeed couldn’t remain indifferent to such a matter.

Though Wang Junyi didn’t understand Su Changfeng’s actions, since Su Changfeng had spoken, he wouldn’t refuse.

He began bidding, Wang Junyi’s eyes unblinking, decisive.

”Brother, what’s your meaning? Are you deliberately opposing me?” At this time, from a nearby boat, a young man stepped out, gazed straight at Wang Junyi. He had been the one persistently bidding; it was apparent he was very interested in that girl. Unexpectedly, Wang Junyi suddenly emerged, like Cheng Yaojin out of nowhere, naturally making him unhappy.
