Chapter 13: The Marvelous Yong'an Empire; Inside the Fengxian Brothel Part 4
Xin Yue ceased his leisurely swim and stood upright, gazing intently at the figure before him. The man was as exquisite as a piece of fine jade, towering in height with a pinkish complexion that belied his muscular and rugged physique. His facial features were chiseled and sharp, lending him an air of striking masculinity.
He had an unusual ash-brown hair that cascaded down below his waist. His eyebrows were thin and slick, his jaws were long and soft, and his small pitch-black eyes were gentle. His nose was slim and pointed, giving him an overall handsome appearance. He looked at Xin Yue suspiciously, but the beauty of his features couldn't be denied.
Xin Yue forced a smile and spoke, "We were confused because the sign of the Hot Springs is two.....so I thought that this place was the right one."
The man put on a long plain white robe with a touch of blue on its hem, then looked at Xin Yue and spoke softly and serenely.
"This is for the prostitutes only. The other bath for the workers is on the other side."
Xin Yue slowly nodded, "Oh, I see....."
The man stared at him and slightly arched his brows, "After what I've said, you're not going out?"
Xin Yue looked at him in disbelief and pursed his lips. "Why would I go out?! Just because we came from a wrong bath we would go out?! Stop being fucking rude and go away!"
The man gave him a surprised look which made Xin Yue wonder if he was being judged as a pampered aristocrat who had only come here out of curiosity, or if he had ties with the emperor and was tasked to clandestinely monitor their whereabouts.
As the man emerged from the hot spring, he shook his head to rid himself of the water droplets clinging to his hair and face. With a graceful step, he made his way out of the spring, his movements fluid and effortless. Xin Yue, who had been watching him with a hostile expression, raised his brow and scowled at the man, his eyes filled with judgment. The man felt a prickling sensation on his skin as he met Xin Yue's gaze, but he chose to ignore it and walked out of the hot spring as if nothing had happened.
"Tch!" Xin Yue leaned on the edge of the spring while crossing his arms with a frown. "This is what they said more on beauty but less on attitude."
Feng Xin replied from the other side of the hot spring. "But I think he's right, Brother Yue. We were at fault because we suddenly trespassed the hot spring so the man felt disrespected. We should apologize later."
Xin Yue scoffed and shifted his gaze at him, "WHAT--APOLOGIZE?! IF I DID SOMETHING WRONG, OF COURSE, I'LL APOLOGIZE! BUT MY APOLOGY ISN'T CHEAP! SAYING "I'M SORRY" TO JUST ANYONE IS NOT MY PERSONALITY!"
Feng Xin sighed and proceeded to wash his body with soap and a wet towel. "What if that man reported us and the old lady kicked us out? Brother Yue's pride is important but we won't have money if we get kicked out of here. We have no place to sleep either."
Xin Yue grabbed a soap and also started washing his body as he replied, "So what?! Who does he think he is?! It's only just a hot spring and yet he's making a big deal on it?! Tch! Shitty bastard!"
