My aunt pulled a maid aside and asked them to prepare some food to be delivered directly to our house later.

Despite their busy schedules, the staff at Luoheju dared not neglect a local immortal. They readily agreed and, after placing an order with the kitchen, accurately informed the aunt of the delivery time for the meals at Luoheju.

My aunt nodded in satisfaction and flew home.

Just as she approached the brothel's door, her aunt noticed something was amiss while still in mid-air.

Why are there so many women blocking the entrance to the brothel?

Each of them held a notice in their hand, which seemed to say something like "Peerless Beauty Fox, Half Price Sale?"

"Screw the half-price sale! Our fox never goes on sale!"

A friend in the group is an author and has a new book; could you please recommend it?

Chapter 118 Interesting Anecdotes Before the New Year's Eve Dinner

"Auntie! Is this about a discount?"

Upon seeing the girl knocking on the door of Ruchun Garden, and the three monkeys so anxious they were almost speaking human language, Su Yan, nestled in her aunt's arms, complained, "A cultivator has come to slander my innocence! We're a brothel!"

Having learned from their previous experience with flyers, Su Yan and her aunt are currently in a relatively stable mood, and even have the leisure to go to the door to ask the girls for some flyers to look at.

The fake flyer claimed that Ru Chun Yuan offered high-quality fox jumping massage services, and that customers could choose their favorite foxes upon arrival, such as foxes with snow-white fur and pink paws, or red foxes with jet-black paws.

After washing up, customers simply wrap themselves in a warm, damp blanket and lie on the bed. The chosen fox will then come to the bedroom, step on you with all four paws, and use its weight to provide an extremely comfortable massage service by jumping around.

My aunt fell into deep thought after looking at the flyer.

"Auntie."

Su Yan, his face darkening, raised his fox paw and pointed to the fee amount above: "Five taels per hour? Even if I jumped around from morning till night, I wouldn't earn that many taels, would I?"

After reading the entire flyer, Su Yan finally understood why so many people were blocking the entrance to Ruchun Garden.

Su Yan and her aunt stayed in the capital city until almost evening before returning to prepare dinner. However, the families who had participated in the imperial martial arts demonstration had already finished their New Year's Eve dinner and were now strolling through the flower market. As a result, they came across a pastime with Xia Yu characteristics and naturally had to try it out.

The flyer looked very professional, even listing the procedures and additional paid services.

If it weren't for the fact that Ruchun Garden was her aunt's business, and that she herself had spent several months in the brothel knowing that her own brothel didn't offer any "fox-jumping massage" services, Su Yan felt that with Xia Yu's intellect, it was very likely that he would have developed some kind of massage project where foxes were child laborers.

The flyer was quite enticing, making Su Yan want to give it a try too.

Of course, Su Yan didn't want a massage from a big fox. If she had a body the size of a building like her mother's, Su Yan was afraid she wouldn't be able to withstand the force of a single kick from the fox master and would collapse.

"Yes, some people have falsely accused us of practicing orc massage."

After watching the commotion, my aunt immediately took out her communication jade and reported to the official, the Vice Minister of Rites, that her brothel had once again been framed by thieves.

The Minister of Rites had just finished a heart-to-heart talk with Grand Tutor Jin, and was particularly sensitive to similar matters, easily losing his temper.

On the first day of the new year, my aunt was too lazy to deal with the guys handing out flyers, so she simply followed the procedure and reported the matter to the Ministry of Rites so that the officials could handle it.

"Disperse, disperse. There are no foxes in our enclosure. The thieves' slander and rumors are not credible. Don't block my door."

The aunt raised her hand, displaying the aura of an immortal, and easily dispersed the groups of girls who came to the door. Then she instructed the monkeys to bring a board and stick it directly into the courtyard, clearly stating: "The owner of the brothel is gambling. Take a week off."

Su Yan looked at the monkeys with great curiosity, wondering whether he should write some words for them.

But seeing the monkey skillfully grinding ink and then writing with a powerful, almost divine touch, Su Yan's eyes twitched slightly involuntarily. Su Yan could write with charcoal, but when it came to calligraphy, he really only wrote his name.

The monkey's calligraphy was much better than Su Yan's; he even got carried away and painted ink paintings on the four sides of the board.

Finally, he hand-drew a monkey as his signature, leaving Su Yan completely stunned throughout.

I have to say: they truly deserve to be called the all-around service provider.

Su Yan squatted in front of the brothel watching the monkey write. His aunt, who had just returned to the brothel to brew tea, came out of the door again, picked Su Yan up from the ground, and flew towards Luohe Residence.

"What happened?"

Seeing that she had gone out again, Su Yan looked at her aunt with a puzzled expression and asked her.

"It's nothing. Hua Yu just said that her daughters might be coming over too. There are about seventy or eighty people in her family, so the fifty portions of food we ordered are definitely not enough."

My aunt shook her head helplessly and said, "Wan Hua Ge is in complete chaos right now."

"Today, all the important figures of Xia Yu have gone to the Imperial City. Without his parents, Xia Yu is simply a mischievous child in the Immortal Realm. The Crown Prince of Chi Wang, along with his cronies, has booked all the girls in the Myriad Flowers Pavilion and made the courtesans do the homework assigned by the academy for him."

"The courtesans spent the whole day doing their homework, copying words from books until their hands were sore."

Inside the imperial city was an academy, which was dedicated to training high-ranking officials and royal offspring. It taught everything from the most basic cultivation knowledge to astronomy, geography, and the history of Yu the Great, and even specialized etiquette courses.

As a highly elite academy for early childhood education, such a high-end academy naturally had a lot of homework and assignments.

The academy's administrator was Grand Tutor Jin, who directly silenced all the children's complaints with a powerful, overwhelming force.

They dared not comment on the Grand Tutor's behavior and could only endure the terrifying homework assigned by the academy.

As soon as the parents left, the kids ran straight to the Wan Hua Pavilion to pay money to avoid trouble. Isn't it just paying for entertainment by spirit stones? I'll give you a lot of spirit stones, you just need to finish all your holiday homework.

Remember to imitate my handwriting, or you'll get a bad review.

The Crown Prince of the Crimson King gave so much, and the friends he brought along were all wealthy people.

The courtesans were so bewitched that they agreed, and as a result, the girls of Wanhua Pavilion were scratching their heads over their homework.

"They've come here to seek refuge?" Su Yan asked with a surprised expression. "Don't even courtesans understand the homework in the academy?"

"Pretty much, I guess? The homework assigned by the academy focuses on astronomy, geography, and history. To answer correctly, you need to consult a lot of classic texts. The academy teachers will assign different homework to different students," Auntie said.

"Fortunately, I don't have to study." Su Yan's face showed a hint of relief, and she gloated inwardly.

………………

The trip from Ruchun Garden to Luohe Residence didn't take much time. However, when Su Yan and her aunt returned, Hua Yu and her group were already sitting in the main hall of Ruchun Garden, chatting with the talented women under her aunt's tutelage and the girls under Hua Yu's tutelage.

The topic they were discussing wasn't Su Yan's performance in the ring today, or cosmetics, but a flyer for a "Fox Bouncing Massage" service.

Exhausted from a day of homework, the courtesan asked the talented women to make some arrangements for her, as they needed to relax after dinner.

But the talented women looked completely bewildered, clearly unaware that they possessed such a thing.

Su Yan was the only fox in Ru Chun Yuan. Moreover, the manager had no children, so Su Yan should be the young master of Ru Chun Yuan. How could he possibly work so hard to earn a few taels of silver?

Su Yan sat down on the altar, and the girls who came to him to pray for blessings and make wishes gave him more than just a few taels of silver!

"There's no fox hopping around; it's all slander from our competitors."

After returning to the brothel, Su Yan sat in Jiao Nanwu's arms and once again personally clarified the situation.

However, after sitting there for a while, I started to feel something was off.

"Why are you pinching my paw pads, Nanwu sister?"

"I'm going to trim your nails!"

"?"

Before the human girl could even ask any questions, the demon girl had already taken matters into her own hands, making Su Yan fabricate something out of nothing.

Jiao Nanwu was clearly interested in jumping around. After trimming Su Yan's nails, she would take him with her when he took a bath later.

I ate something wrong, so my updates have been a little slow. My legs are numb from squatting.

Friends, although it's troublesome to pick out the fruit yourself, it's still best to try to do it yourself.

Oh, and there's an extra chapter for those who donated.

Chapter 119 A Race of Unlucky Fools Comparable to Monkeys

"Fellow Daoist, save me."

Just as Ruchun Garden was about to serve dinner, a handsome young man with exceptional looks collapsed at the entrance of Xia Yucheng. His face was weak and trembling as he raised his hand and reached out to the hurried pedestrians on the street, pleading for help.

However, because he was so handsome, and his clothes looked expensive, it was obvious at a glance that the man in front of him was either of noble birth or a young master with some kind of background or power.

The outermost layer of Xia Yu City was inhabited mainly by ordinary people who made a living in the big city. No one dared to approach men casually, for fear of getting into trouble.

No one paid attention to his request, and even walked around him after he asked for help.

The guards at the city gate, collecting entrance fees from caravans, glanced at the man, sighed slightly, and were about to help him up when a surprised female voice came from the city gate:

"You seem to be the eldest son of the Dongchong family, right? How come you're lying down at the gate of Xiayu City?"

Hong Ling, who had just come from the border of Xia Yu, looked at the man lying on the ground, weak and exhausted, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Senior Mosquito, please save me!"

Upon seeing Hong Ling, the man burst into tears as if he were seeing a family member: "I was appointed by my elders to come to Xia Yu to deliver festival gifts to Senior Insect. Just as I was about to reach the main city of Xia Yu, I was attacked by a female insect."

"woooooo"

As she spoke, Dongchong burst into tears, her face filled with embarrassment.

Winter worms are a unique type of insect monster among the insect race. They possess exceptional beauty and a wonderful singing voice, and are one of the rare vegetarian demon races. Winter worms are quite popular among some girls in human territory.

But appearance and singing voice are the curse of the winter insect, because when male winter insects reproduce, no matter what kind of group they mate with, the bloodline of their offspring will inevitably be, and will only be, that of their mother.

The male insect seems to be merely participating in the entire reproductive process, completely lacking any sense of presence.

If that were all there was to it, handsome men wouldn't be attacked by female insects.

There are actually quite a few races or items with such characteristics in the cultivation world. The Daughter Kingdom is famous for its ability to reproduce in solitary form. However, another characteristic of the winter worm turns their advantages into a curse.

For demons to reproduce, female beasts not only have to spend a lot of time, but also expend their cultivation, making it a very strenuous and thankless task. However, when the insect race reproduces, it is the male insects who pay the price.

During the breeding season of winter insects, at the very moment of conception, the male winter insect's entire spiritual energy reserves will surge to the female insect's abdomen to nourish the development and growth of the fetus. This characteristic also applies when breeding with other species.

The man who came to deliver a holiday gift to his aunt was originally a Nascent Soul stage expert, but after being attacked by the female insect, his cultivation level directly regressed to the Golden Core stage. He will need several years to recover.

Physically, they were squeezed dry and turned into insects.

………………

After listening to Dongchong's story, Hongling had a strange expression on her face.

This scene seems familiar. The last time I found a worm, it was this kid's dad, lying on the ground in pain and looking weak, reaching out to passersby for help.

His father was just a little luckier, because he was attacked in the summer and didn't have to lie on the cold floor.
