After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 133 A Crane Standing Among Chickens

Master?

Is there someone else involved here?

When Xie Xing arrived, he was taken to a room on the second floor and was not allowed to move around freely. Of course, he didn't know what was going on inside the cabin.

Looking at it now, it's quite strange that the outside is in complete chaos while the inside remains orderly.

Seeing Xie Xing's wavering expression, the woman smiled and said, "You look quite nice, young lady, and the fabric you're wearing is also of good quality. You must be the daughter of some wealthy family, right?"

Xie Xing looked up at the woman, "You knew this, yet you still made me take your place?"

The woman laughed and said, "Do you know that everyone in this cabin is from one of the four great families?"

The Four Great Families?

Xie Xing had heard about it.

The four families: Jun, Yin, Mu, and Wen.

"The Mu family of Tongzhou is famously wealthy. Today, the head of the Mu family chartered this ship, and this courtesan competition was also hosted by someone from the Mu family. If something happens on the ship, these big shots will naturally handle it. We little people don't need to worry about it."

"Besides, those are all rich and powerful young men. If any of them takes a fancy to you, I'll just say that I forced you into this situation, and then a good marriage will be arranged, won't it?"

A woman should be moved by emotion and persuaded by reason.

Xie Xing's lips twitched.

That's what they say, but what decent person would look for a man in this place of pleasure and debauchery?

There was no room for Xie Xing to refuse at this moment, so she could only reluctantly agree, but she still said, "But let me tell you, I don't know anything."

The woman waved her hand and said, "It's alright, I'll arrange for you to be the last one."

Since things had come to this point, Xie Xing had no choice but to go change his clothes.

The dance costume was a long pink dress with only a pink tube top, revealing her slender and fair waist. Two ribbons were tied around her waist, and the bottom was a long skirt. She wore a pink gauze robe over it, and her beautiful figure was faintly visible, which was very alluring.

The woman exclaimed, reached out and touched Xie Xing's waist, clicking her tongue and saying, "Your waist is so slender it could be encircled by a single hand, and your skin is as tender as a baby's, smooth as jade. If you came to work as a girl here, I guarantee you'd be the most beautiful courtesan."

"He's a promising talent."

Xie Xing was speechless. He slapped the woman's hand away and said, "You're not a madam, why would you hire someone for your mother?"

"Who says I'm not?" The woman laughed heartily, covering her mouth and giggling. "If I weren't a madam, would those girls dare to make that decision so readily?"

Xie Xing was dumbfounded.

She looked the woman up and down, and asked in confusion, "Are you a madam? You're so young and beautiful?"

Aren't brothel owners in TV dramas all mothers?

The woman was taken aback; she hadn't expected Xie Xing to be surprised by this.

She laughed and lightly tapped Xie Xing's nose with her finger: "You little brat, you really know how to talk."

"Alright, don't worry, I'll let you go once you get through this."

Xie Xing nodded.

It wasn't that she trusted the madam, but if she didn't agree now, she was afraid the madam would change her attitude on the spot.

The madam tidied her up again and let Xie Xing blend into the crowd.

Xie Xing stood inside, the strong smell of cosmetics making her very uncomfortable.

Especially when these people noticed that it was a different person, they all looked at Xie Xing with curious eyes.

"Little sister, are you new here?"

Wow, your hands are so smooth.

"Little sister, where did you come from?"

As soon as Xie Xing entered, she was surrounded by them, and they all started groping her.

Xie Xing's expression immediately turned terrified. She pushed their hands away with difficulty and gave a dry laugh: "Hello, sisters."

Just as they were about to start again, the madam walked over, clapped her hands, and said, "Girls, come with me."

This was Xie Xing's first time mingling with these people, and he walked somewhat awkwardly.

Xie Xing knew the ship was huge, but after stepping inside the cabin, she realized how ignorant she was.

The interior was noticeably more opulent and glittering than the exterior.

In the middle was a large platform covered with flower petals and ornate decorations, clearly the stage they were about to go on.

And below—

Xie Xing glanced at it once and then looked away.

The people below are all important figures. The space is huge, but there aren't many people. Only a few tables are scattered around, but the people sitting at each table are indeed, as the madam said, rich and powerful.

Xie Xing stood at the very back of the group, hunching over even more, hoping that these people wouldn't see her.

After a while, the music started, and the dancing began.

The dancers began to dance gracefully.

Xie Xing indeed couldn't dance; he could only mechanically follow the dancers' steps.

Even in a crowd, a person's aloofness stands out so conspicuously that she quickly draws attention.

"Hmm? Interesting." Suddenly, someone noticed Xie Xing dancing and couldn't help but laugh.

His shout drew the attention of others to her as well.

The dancers in front of her were graceful and elegant, their waists supple and their movements beautiful and graceful. Xie Xing, however, was like a stiff wooden board, his hands and feet stiff. Despite his good looks, his movements were almost unbearable to watch.

"Haha."

"Is this person just here to make up the numbers?"

"This little dancer is really interesting."

The others seemed to have found it amusing.

A man dressed in fine clothes suddenly spoke up. "Let her come to our table."

As soon as he spoke, someone immediately went to take care of it.

Just then, Jun Lanjin walked in from outside.

He changed back into a dark red robe, his hair adorned with red agate ornaments, and slowly walked over with one hand behind his back. Finally, he sat down next to the man in brocade robes who had just spoken.

As soon as he arrived, everyone at the table turned their attention to him.

"Zhiheng, you're too late."

Jun Lanjin picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and then asked casually, "Has it started?"

The man in brocade shook his head. "This is just the beginning."

Jun Lanjin then said, "Then it's not too late."

The man in brocade chuckled. "Zhiheng, you're still the same."

"Have you found those people?" the man in brocade asked casually.

Jun Lanjin said, "Besides those people, there is another group of people on the ship."

"Ok?"

The man in brocade looked at Jun Lanjin, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That's true. With so many people here, it's not surprising that some strange people have mixed in."

"Do you need help?"

Just as Jun Lanjin was about to speak, a servant came to deliver a message, saying, "Young Master, the arrangements have been made."

the other side.

The dance ended.

Xie Xing finally endured the agonizing dance and was about to sneak away when the madam caught him.

The madam looked at Xie Xing and laughed: "See what I told you? You really are suited to be the top courtesan. You've attracted the attention of important figures in no time."

Xie Xing: ?

"What important person has taken a liking to me?"

The madam covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Miss, your good days are coming."

After saying that, she waved her hand and said coldly, "Take him away."

The thugs behind him immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xie Xing's hands.

Xie Xing: ?
