Chapter 15: The Honored Guest; Red Dragon Pavilion Part 1
Working at the Fengxian Brothel was quite hectic. Xin Yue always cleaned the room every day and night after the nobles left as well as the clutters on the corners of all of the floors of the building. On the first day, he was assigned to clean the eighth floor only but after two to four weeks, the old lady instructed him to clean the whole building.
Even if it seemed difficult, it was nothing to Xin Yue. He had cleaned a thirty-two-floor building and also the whole mall back in the modern world, so an eight-floor building was a piece of cake for him. However, he had a hard time because of his lack of cleaning tools, it was only a broom and a rug. Nothing more.
The modern era had technology, unlike the world he was in where they needed to rely on spiritual qi and demonic qi but not all can possess them. Xin Yue endured cleaning with only a broom and a rug even if he took so much time to the point that he barely ate with Feng Xin and the other elders.
"Here." Liu Huangjin handed him a cup of tea that he recently poured. Xin Yue wiped the sweat on his forehead using a clean towel before accepting the tea as he sat beside Liu Huangjin on a bamboo chair.
"Did those rotten nobles do something to you again?" Xin Yue asked him with a frown.
After many weeks, Liu Huangjin and Xin Yue became friends. At first, Xin Yue was annoyed because every time he went to the eighth floor to clean, Liu Huangjin would always follow him around and ask questions about the outside world.
Xin Yue was always distracted but he eventually got used to it. He always answered his questions while cleaning and it gained him an advantage because he didn't know how much time he spent while they talked and suddenly, he was already finished cleaning.
"No. I only poured them a tea and slept beside them." Liu Huangjin answered with a deadpan while sipping his tea.
Xin Yue snorted and leaned on the bamboo chair. "I hate them so much! Perverted bastards! They're married men and they have kids! And they go to a brothel just to have fun?! Fuck life! The ancient era also has cheating fathers!"
Liu Huangjin slightly chuckled, "Stop it, Ah-Yue. It's normal for us to deal with those since we're prostitutes."
(in case you don't know, —Ah is a name suffix in Chinese that can be used to call someone with affection. For example, your lover, friends, family, or the person you admire.)
"Tch!" Xin Yue crossed his hands and stared at the fresh peony flowers decorated on the beautiful jade vase. "I swear I will get you out here someday and I'll show you the stories I always tell you about the outside world."
Liu Huangjin stared at him with a small smile on his face. All of a sudden, two knocks resonated on the door followed by a feminine voice outside Liu Huangjin's chamber. "Zhuming, there are guests. Please come with me and get ready."
Liu Huangjin looked at Xin Yue as if he was asking for his permission. Xin Yue arched his brows and spoke, "What're you looking at?! Just go and I'll clean your room!"
"Alright." Liu Huangjin opened the door, and a young maidservant greeted his sight. Xin Yue waved goodbye to Liu Huangjin and Liu Huangjin laughed at his funny behavior before leaving with the maidservant.
