I have the best bloodline

Brothels earn silver, but cultivators spend spirit stones on shopping!

The silver coins exchanged for spirit stones were barely enough for daily cultivation, but when it came to buying magical artifacts or pills, they were stretched thin. Su Yan was also thinking of saving up some money to get married in the future.

Thinking it over, Su Yan used his water control ability to make the water in the bathtub fly to the river outside the window, then turned around and walked out of the bedroom to prepare to practice the illusion technique in the backyard.

But outside the window, unnoticed by Su Yan, in the pitch-black river, a dark blue arm covered in slime stretched out, holding a cup, which was placed right in the path of the wastewater Su Yan had poured out after his bath.

Water was poured into the river, but some of it fell into the cup. A dark blue, webbed hand flicked the lid up with its thumb, as if giving Su Yan a thumbs-up.

The dark blue, webbed arm slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

Chapter 9 Arrogant Insect

"Auntie, do you know any spider demons or similar monsters?"

One day, Su Yan ran to his aunt's dormitory and found Chong Qiong, who was still sitting cross-legged and practicing breathing exercises. He asked his aunt with great interest if she knew the Spider Demon, as he had thought of a way to help the brothel make a fortune.

The brothel will finally not have to become a fox spirit temple, or a large mahjong or dominoes hall, but before that, Su Yan needs a spider spirit friend to help him, otherwise the things he envisions in his heart will not be able to come true.

"Spider demon?"

The aunt emerged from her breathing meditation, looked at Su Yan standing by her bedside with bright eyes, and said with a rather complicated expression, "Why did you do this?"

"what?"

Seeing the inscrutable expression on his aunt's face, Su Yan froze on the spot: "What's wrong with me? I want to find a spider spirit and ask her for some spider silk to weave some beautiful clothes. Is it illegal to take spider silk?"

"No, you don't want to!"

My aunt said confidently, "You should be thinking about the spider demon's round and plump baby, the kind that's easy to give birth to, and you can't hide the filthy thoughts in your heart. You want to go up and touch her, but you hesitate because of your courage. You want your aunt to help you hold her down and make her stick out her whole spider."

Su Yan stood there dumbfounded, then, regaining her senses, she suddenly grabbed her aunt's shoulders and shook her frantically.

"Wake up! Have you forgotten what you said on my first day in Xia Yu? Xia Yu has a complete castration law for outlaws!"

"Are you really that law-abiding?"

Seeing Su Yan jumping around in a panic, her aunt raised her hand and pressed it on Su Yan's head, saying, "Just kidding!"

The aunt placed her arm on Su Yan's head, and with a slight exertion, she lifted herself into the air, spun around in mid-air in the dormitory, and landed steadily on the tea table, revealing her true form as a proud insect:

"Although I know the spider demon, she lives too far away. If all I need is spider silk, my aunt can throw up too."

The Jiaochong is the mountain god of Pingfeng Mountain, resembling a human with two heads. It is the leader of stinging insects and the final resting place for all bee-like creatures.

This was a rough description of the original form of the Pride Insect Clan that Su Yan had seen in the Appraisal Scroll: Demon Clan Chapter: Mythical Beasts when he was at home.

Su Yan had always thought that his aunt, the proud insect, was actually a large hornet with two heads. It wasn't until he saw her true form that he realized just how ridiculously wrong the book's description was.

My aunt revealed her true form and landed on the table. She was clearly a spider. Her overall appearance was pure white, with pink patterns on her body extending to her abdomen, forming the charming face of a smiling beauty. Her eight spider legs were jet black from bottom to top down to her knee joints, with a matte finish.

This auntie is secretly wearing black stockings. I used to think that stockings were my invention.

Looking at the true form of the Leg Playful Proud Insect Clan in front of him, Su Yan sighed inwardly.

"vomit"

The proud insect, revealing its true form, opened its mouth and spat out a ball of pure white spider silk into the open space in front of it. The silk bounced twice after landing, demonstrating its remarkable resilience.

"cough cough"

After tossing the spider silk ball to Su Yan, Auntie got off the table, cleared her throat, and complained, "It's been so long since I've spun any silk; I almost choked on phlegm! It was so uncomfortable."

For the Primal Insect race, the ability to spin silk is only commonly used during molting to retain moisture or to create a suitable nest for newly hatched Primal Insect babies. In other combat or hunting, they usually use venom spray or bites instead of silk-spinning.

The insect, Chongqiong, has long since reached adulthood and can no longer molt. It remains an empty nest and an old insect. For the past three to five hundred years, it has not considered the issue of reproduction, and naturally, it has not used its silk-spinning ability for a long time. Once it becomes rusty, it gets stuck in its throat.

"Auntie, come and have some tea."

Seeing his aunt's pretentious manner, Su Yan, who had gotten the better deal, immediately understood and helped his old man to sit down at the tea table. He personally served his aunt the tea, taking perfect care of her.

"By the way, Auntie, do you know which family in our brothel has the best needlework skills? Introduce me to one and let me try her out. I guarantee I can get you some good stuff to boost our brothel's business!"

"From now on, we'll spend spirit stones to earn more spirit stones, and our whole family will be rich, healthy, and dominate the Xia Yu brothel!" Su Yan said confidently.

After several days of deep thought, Su Yan has come up with a rough idea on how to revitalize the entertainment industry!

First of all, if you dress up the talented women beautifully, how can you not attract customers who are willing to spend money on spirit stones?

Considering the fierce folk customs within Xia Yu territory, Su Yan first used black and white stockings as a trump card, banishing flat-chested or low-cut ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and trousers underneath from the scene. Then, he arranged a cheongsam and high heels set for the talented woman, allowing her to sit on the stage, gently playing the pipa and singing. Wouldn't that be enough to take someone's life?

With the talented women becoming more erotic, the brothels wouldn't need him to run them and make money, allowing Su Yan to be freed from his busy work and focus on cultivating and breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"If we're talking about needlework skills, Xiao Hong must be the best, right? It's said that she learned an amazing needlework skill from her mother, who was born in the southern state, and that skill made her husband completely infatuated with her."

My aunt thought for a moment and then spoke.

Upon hearing this, Su Yan abandoned her aunt and ran straight to Xiao Hong's dormitory on the second floor. She pulled Xiao Hong up, who was tending to her guzheng, and asked her to knit her a pair of stockings with her needlework.

But as soon as Su Yan asked, Xiao Hong's cheeks flushed red all the way to the back of her neck, and she spat at Su Yan.

Su Yan looked at Xiao Hong with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Hong blushed and didn't say anything. She just picked up the silk strings of the guzheng on the table, straightened them, and opened her mouth to perform so-called "needlework" for Su Yan. In a short moment, Xiao Hong's clever tongue wove the silk strings into a genetic spiral structure that Su Yan found extremely familiar, leaving the little fox completely dumbfounded.

Xiao Hong covered her face and pushed Su Yan out of the dormitory.

"I knew it. I should have realized something was wrong when the words 'Southern State' came out. How could there be proper needlework in the Southern State? I was really stupid."

Su Yan was born in the Southern State, a gathering place for demonic cultivators in the cultivation world, under the jurisdiction of the Demonic Sect, where fierce fighting and violence were commonplace.

On the path of cultivation, they are all gamblers who skip classes and take shortcuts. They would rather be struck by lightning than cultivate diligently. If they win, they live a life of pleasure in the Myriad Flowers Pavilion. If they lose, they can express their fearlessness by shooting themselves at the sky.

In such an atmosphere, how could there possibly be any respectable women?

But Xiao Hong's family has a truly remarkable tradition of needlework.

After being turned down by Xiao Hong, Su Yan went to find some talented women he usually got along with.

However, their needlework skills were limited to embroidery; at most, they could only patch up a garment.

If you don't have new clothes, just find a tailor; why bother with the hard work of spinning and weaving yourself? Embroidery and such are just for cultivating temperament and calming anxiety; they're not really needlework.

"I know a little about textiles, but only a little."

The blonde, blue-eyed, wavy-haired man spoke, looking at Su Yan who was lying on the ground, dejected:

“But I can introduce you to someone. When I lived in the capital, she spun all the fabrics.”

Chapter 10 Hey! Little Yellow-Mouthed Fox!

"Just go to the shop and find Manager Yu. Their textile craftsmanship has been passed down for two hundred years in Xia Yu City. In a while, they should be able to change their name to a three-hundred-year-old shop."

In this huge brothel, not a single talented woman knew needlework. The only one who knew a little was Xiao Jin, a girl from the Western Regions. Su Yan was speechless. But when she thought about how they used to be young ladies from wealthy families and that they must have bought ready-made clothes, she realized that what they said made a lot of sense.

It's not like we're making magical artifacts, so why do we need to control the quality from the source? If the fabric isn't good quality, we can just throw it away and buy a new one; it's not expensive anyway.

"Thank you so much, Lao Jin! You're my benefactor!" Su Yan said, holding Xiao Jin's hand with great gratitude.

The talented women in the brothels all used pseudonyms, using their own unique characteristics or strengths as the first character, and then adding a small character.

Girls like Xiao Hong, who likes red clothes, Xiao Jin, who has blonde hair, blue eyes, and wavy hair, and Xiao Qi, who is good at chess, all use this naming method in the brothels. They cannot get their names back until they have compensated Xia Yu for his losses, unless they elope with their lovers.

However, these talented women were all serious criminals, and it's unlikely that any of their lovers would be so foolish as to confront the imperial court head-on.

………………

After Su Yan searched through the brothels for talented women, it was time for the brothels to open.

Su Yan didn't have time to go to the outskirts of the capital to find the textile workshop that Lao Jin had mentioned, and began her day's work.

At first, Su Yan was in charge of serving dishes or giving customers some snacks to go with their drinks. But as the number of customers increased, Su Yan became the dish herself and was placed on the table. Some talented women who did not get a chance to perform on stage were instructed by their aunt to sell offerings and wishing plaques on the side.

We don't run a brothel; our shop is called the Fox Fairy Temple, which guarantees marriage and childbirth.

After you've made your wish, there's no need to rush off. We also have mahjong and dominoes games that ladies love. Our brothel doesn't take a cut from the ladies' earnings; you can just give me a small table fee and a tip.

The talented women were busy serving the lady, and the girls playing music on the stage were not self-pitying at all. Even their pipa playing was full of vigor and excitement.

Su Yan's eyes welled up with tears. The brothel business was indeed booming, but it wasn't what he had expected.

My Sword Immortals' Hall is filled with discussions on cultivation, and the various powerful forces sitting in the hall are exuding fierce auras. The scenes of them tearing each other apart are gradually fading away as it becomes a women's social activity center.

Su Yan sighed inwardly, trying to console herself:

"The Women's Federation Center isn't so bad. At least there's no bloodshed, and no one from the Demonic Path shouting: 'Waiter, come wash the bloodstains on the floor!'"

…………

As dinner time approached, it was the busiest time at Xia Yucheng Night Market. Colorful lanterns hung along the streets, illuminated by candlelight, making the street scene exceptionally lively and prosperous.

A woman in a dark blue half-length dress walked down the street, soaking wet. Wherever she went, the surroundings were silent, and everyone stared wide-eyed in shock. The man looked like a dog, and the woman looked terrified, as if she had seen something terrible.

Jiao Nanwu ignored the crowd watching him, looked at the soaked paper in his hand, then looked up at the sign of the brothel in front of him, and said, "Phew, I'm here."

She only paused for a moment, and a large group of men with infatuated expressions were already following behind her.

Jiao Nanwu assumed it was human warmth and didn't think of anything else negative, because everyone in the tribe wore moonlight as a veil and the vast ocean as a skirt, and nothing strange ever happened.

After finding the brothel where Su Yan was, Jiao Nanwu went straight inside, jogged up the steps, and jumped over the threshold in front of the brothel, causing a small tremor.

Her arrival silenced the brothel, and the pipa music playing "East Wind Breaks" on the stage ceased.

The ladies had just touched the mahjong tiles in their hands when they were so shocked by the sight of Jiao Nanwu that they dropped them with a "thud" as they landed on the table. Even Su Yan looked at the girl in blue standing at the door with a face full of astonishment.

"Turtle."

The aunt was amazed by the girl's voluptuous figure. It was far too extravagant, even more so than the fox mother's six-in-one beasts. The girl's high-waisted skirt further accentuated her proud and domineering demeanor.

Jiao Nanwu's gaze swept around, finally settling on Su Yan. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward, reaching out to grasp Su Yan's hand as he sat on the platform. She said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's you who pours warm water into the river every night at dawn, isn't it?"

Su Yan nodded blankly. He originally wanted to scold the girl for being so clumsy, but she was too big. Su Yan felt that if he spoke loudly, even his warm breath would be completely lost inside her.

“Great, let’s go mate now! We all love your sweetness.”

With that, Jiao Nanwu picked up Su Yan and headed to the second floor of the brothel, intending to finish their business in the dormitory.

She was one of the stronger members of the tribe, and she led the vanguard to scout out the brothel. She found the guy who poured sweet water into the river every night to lure sea monsters, and then kidnapped him and brought him back to the tribe's territory for the tribe to share.
