Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Flower Thief Zhang Liuchou [Please Favourite, Please Recommend]

Seeing Lu Xiaobu having so much fun, envy was apparent in the eyes of those around him.

”I want to play too!”

”No more, I can’t take it anymore! I will spend whatever it takes to play today!”

”This is freaking awesome, Jianghu! Knights!”

”...”

”Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down.” A gentle and charming voice suddenly came through.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw Liang Lan, dressed in green Hanfu, with a gentle demeanor and a small red lotus on her forehead, slowly descending from the second floor.

Usually, the sight of her tightly bound slender waist, prominently standing chest, and the inadvertent elegance and charm unique to Han Family women revealed while walking, would certainly make people’s minds waver and pulses race.

But at this moment, seeing Liang Lan who seemed as if she had stepped out of a painting, people’s minds were filled more with admiration rather than lustful thoughts.

”So beautiful!” The crowd expressed their admiration in a daze: ”This is what a true beauty looks like, like a fairy, yet not aloof from worldly matters.”

”Thank you, everyone.” Liang Lan descended and gracefully greeted everyone: ”I am the owner of this tavern. If you come to my tavern, you must understand the rules here. If you cannot abide, then I ask for your understanding.”

Next, Liang Lan carefully explained the rules she had thought of in a way that wouldn’t break the character, yet was clear.

To put it simply:

1. You cannot really engage in physical fights, especially with weapons. Even though they are fake, they can still cause injury, so real use is prohibited.

2. If you drink too much, you can no longer participate in the fun activities, as it may get to your head.

3. Accepting roles, acting—it’s all impromptu. If you have the ability to add extra parts to your role, go ahead, but you cannot cause disturbances.

4. Whoever loses or wins in the performance is up to the individuals involved, but if neither wants to back down, then it’s up to the others present to decide.

5. Young Master Bu has the final say. If there is any conflict between the fifth rule and any of the others, the fifth rule will prevail.

After hearing the explanation, everyone feigned a faint—so in the end, it was still Young Master Bu who had the final say!

However, after the explanation, the tavern officially opened.

People began to pour in.

”Sir, are you stopping for a drink or staying for the night?”

”Give me a whiskey, uh... I forgot, do you have it?”

Zhang Meng, tossing his towel aside, replied: ”Yes, of course, this isn’t really ancient times, one whiskey.”

”Phew... Good, I thought I was causing trouble.” The customer sighed in relief.

The guests excitedly entered the tavern, ordering drinks and food.

And Lu Xiaobu approached Liang Lan, ogling her up and down: ”Sister Lan, I didn’t expect you to look so stunning in ancient costume.”

”Of course.” Liang Lan smiled charmingly: ”Dear guest, flirting with the owner, be careful or you might get beaten up.”

”Who dares to beat me?” Lu Xiaobu pouted.

”Brother, Master said, if you dare to mess around outside, he will break your legs.”

At this moment, Wu Qianmin, dressed in a bright red female knight’s outfit and carrying a Treasure Sword, jumped out and spoke threateningly.

At this moment, Wu Qianmin, with her bright red outfit complementing her pretty face, her decent-sized breasts, and slender waist held gracefully, and with a Treasure Sword in hand, indeed looked like a young inexperienced apprentice secretly following her senior out of the sect.

”Ugh, so ugly, not as beautiful as Sister Lan. No wonder Master insists on betrothing you to me.” Lu Xiaobu glanced at her and said maliciously.

”What did you say!”

Wu Qianmin exploded instantly, grabbing her sword, ready to fight Lu Xiaobu to the death.

”Mercy, mercy. Beautiful, beautiful, my Qianmin is the most beautiful woman in the world, naturally gorgeous and incomparably beautiful.”

Lu Xiaobu hurriedly begged for mercy, others might not dare to touch him, but Wu Qianmin with the Imperial Sword was different.

”Really?” Wu Qianmin said through gritted teeth.

”Really, really, you see their eyes going straight.”

Lu Xiaobu pointed at the guests who were sneaking glances at Wu Qianmin.

”Hmph!”

Wu Qianmin’s pretty face blushed, and she snorted coquettishly, no longer paying attention to Lu Xiaobu.

”Ah...”

Liang Lan sighed, this little girl completely ignored what Young Master Bu said about being promised to him, and the term ’my family’. It seems like she has accepted it already.

At this moment, all the guests were seated, and the performance was about to begin.

The guests also had a premonition, each excitedly staring around, expecting the assassin to appear.

But...

The first performance was so unexpected.

”Hmph, shameless rapist, daring to come to my tavern, you don’t deserve to drink my wine, die now.”

Waiter Zhang Meng snorted coldly, approaching a guest, supposed to serve wine, but suddenly slapped the guest.

”Damn! Don’t be like this!”

The guest was utterly dumbfounded, scared silly on the spot.

Upon closer inspection, that guest was Zhang Wenliang who was fishing in troubled waters.

Lu Xiaobu: ”Huh?”

”Ah!” Zhang Wenliang screamed reluctantly, falling to the ground, but he didn’t forget to dramatize further: ”Thinking of me, Zhang Liuxiang, roaming in Jianghu for so many years, to be schemed by a mere waiter, it’s unbearable, unbearable!”

”Drag him away.” Zhang Meng sneered, and immediately a few people came out and dragged Zhang Wenliang away.

Then Zhang Meng immediately put on a smiling face: ”Everyone, keep eating and drinking, this person is Zhang Liuchou, who harassed girls in previous years. Today he came to our tavern, so let’s send him off.”

”Great!” The crowd excitedly cheered.

”I’m going, awesome, no wonder they said it’s spontaneous.”

”Yeah, I never expected that the first act would be carried out by the waiter!”

”Too random, I’m completely thrilled now.”

”Hey, you’re not going to kill me, are you?”

”...”

The guests in the tavern were hugely excited.

Only Zhang Wenliang being dragged away was desperate—I am called Zhang Liuxiang, not Zhang Liuchou!

When he was out of sight of the guests, Zhang Wenliang immediately ran to Lu Xiaobu’s side, pleading, ”Let me play, don’t be like this.”

Lu Xiaobu: ”Huh?”

”Uncle, no, Martial Uncle.” Zhang Wenliang immediately obediently called out, then pleaded sorrowfully, ”I just want to play, I want to be a Great Hero too!”

Initially, he had purposely picked a spot Lu Xiaobu couldn’t see, but he was still found out and even labeled as a rapist. How unjust was that?

”You said there’s no use in that, didn’t you?” Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow, mimicking Zhang Wenliang’s earlier words, ”That won’t work, it’s unrealistic.”

”Martial Uncle, I was wrong, isn’t admitting my mistake enough?” Zhang Wenliang immediately conceded.

Lu Xiaobu: ”Alright, you play the villain five times, and then I’ll let you play.”

”No problem, just five times! Besides, I’m good at being the bad guy,” Zhang Wenliang immediately said excitedly.

Liang Lan stifled her laughter on the side.

Is this still the arrogant young master of the Zhang Family?

In front of Young Master Bu, he is as obedient as if he saw, no, even more than seeing his own father, Zhang Benhu.

The atmosphere within the tavern grew even more exuberant, yet at this moment, something happened that made everyone burst into laughter.
