The Younger Shen

Chapter 8 - Cultivator Visit

Shen Yuan doesn't even know how long it's been since he was brought to that hellish brothel, but he has discovered a lot.

The brothel owner is a demon who harbours people and forces them to work in the brothel.

The voices are from people who used to have the necklace.

The system is still an unresponsive bitch.

Yep, that's all. It's not a lot actually but it's still big.

Shen Yuan stood near the entrance of the brothel, he watched all the other workers greet their clients and walk off. He doesn't have any clients today. Staring off into space, Shen Yuan looked down at the ground and realised something, it should be his 15th birthday today.

That gave him one thing to look forward to today. Shen Yuan spotted some interesting looking clients come in. Three of them looked like teenagers, and the one at the front looked to be 20 or 21.

They marched over to Shen Yuan and another girl who walked at the brothel, the oldest one looked to be severely judging Shen Yuan already. He turned to the girl next to Shen Yuan, "Excuse me Miss, do you by any chance know where to find the owner of the brothel?" Shen Yuan decided to but in, "Sorry sir, but she's a new worker, if you wish to find the owner of the brothel simply go to his office, it should be at the end of the left corridor."

The man sneered at Shen Yuan, "And you are?" Shen Yuan bowed, "This humble brothel worker is Shen Yuan, sir."

A flash of shock went over the man's face, but he shook his head and began to head over to the office of the brothel owner. The three teenagers looked at Shen Yuan confused. One of them was a girl, she looked to be the middle of the trio, the oldest boy just frowned at Shen Yuan. The youngest boy had a look of shock on his face.

"Might this humble brothel worker know your names? It's been a while since I've talked to people my age." Shen Yuan smiled at the three teenagers, who all looked shocked at the mention of age. The girl looked at the young Shen and raised a brow, "How old are you?" She asked, her voice soft and melodic.

"Fifteen," the transmigrator swiftly replied. The expressions on the teenagers were now a look of concern and of shock. Suddenly smiling, the girl looked excited, she shook Shen Yuan's hand. "This disciple is Ning YingYing," she pointed at the youngest boy, "That's A-Luo, but his actual name is Luo Binghe."

Shen Yuan was now the confused one, "Really?" He quickly put on a smile. "I once knew a Luo Binghe."

Ning YingYing looked even more excited, "Wow! That's so cool!" She then pointed to the oldest of the three, "That's Ming Fan-Shixiong."

He looks like a brat.

Just then, a bone chilling voice echoed in Shen Yuan's head.

[System back online. Hello User.]

Trying to compose himself, the young brothel worker took a deep breath. He was about to yell at the system when he heard a loud crash. The man from before came tumbling down the hallway along with the brothel owner.

Ming Fan, Ning YingYing, and Luo Binghe all began to look excited, they cheered on the man. "Go Shizun!" Ning YingYing cheerfully yelled.

Shen Yuan smiled as he watched the fight, he secretly grabbed a leaf that was coincidentally on the ground next to his foot. He channelled some spiritual energy into it and sent it flying at the brothel owner.

It dug deeply into his forehead, leaving everyone else dumbfounded, excluding for the brothel owner. He was enraged. Turning to face the four teenagers, the brothel owner began to yell loudly. "Shen Yuan! You fucking bitch! You little traitorous slut!"

Shen Yuan snickered a bit, making the brothel owner even more furious, "What about this is funny you little whore!?" Shen Yuan rolled his eyes, "Shut up already you overgrown cockroach!"

Demonic qi began to gather in the brothel owners hands as he glared at the transmigrator.

The man who was fighting the demonic brothel owner snapped out of his confusion, he attacked the brothel owner with his sword.

The fight scene was rather entertaining, sword flashes occasionally showed up, along with the blasts of demonic qi.

After all that was done and the brothel owner had finally been killed did Shen Yuan move again, he walked over to the corpse of the brothel owner and kicked it. The tongue lolled out of the horrible smelling mouth, it smelled like moldy cheese and shit.

The three teenagers all surrounded the man who they called Shizun, only Ning YingYing and Ming Fan began to spew praises out of their mouth, Luo Binghe stayed quiet but occasionally glanced at Shen Yuan every now and then.

The 'Shizun' man walked over to Shen Yuan with an angry expression, "You, where did you come from?" Shen Yuan looked at him confused, "A couple of different places, about... 4 years ago I was in a city, another 5 years ago I was in a different city living with an old woman and her adopted son, and 9 years ago I was in a shed next to a manor with my brother."

Shen Yuan kept a smile on, the necklace around his neck shone a faint red. The man seemed a bit shocked but quickly went back to a calm demeanour, "And what was your brothers name?"

Raising a brow, the young brothel worker put a hand up to his chin and began to think, "It was a while ago but I think it was Shen Jiu, or something like that."

The voices from the necklace began to echo in Shen Yuan's ears, making him annoyed, but he tried his best to keep on a fake smile. The man seemed even more shocked, and this time he didn't try to hide it. The transmigrator looks at the man in suspicion, "Why do you wanna know so much about me? Are you a stalker?"

That very thought creeped Shen Yuan out, he heard a few gasps come from the three teenagers behind their Shizun. Brows furrowing, the man looked at Shen Yuan in annoyance, "Same sense of humour I see. Do you really not recognise me?" Shen Yuan shook his head, making the man sigh. "It's me, Shen Jiu." 'Shen Jiu' was extremely close to just slapping the living daylights out of the young Shen.

"Are you actually?" Shen Yuan asked, not fully convinced. Shen Jiu nodded. Still not believing the man, Shen Yuan asked him to prove it by naming his fianceè. The disciples behind Shen Jiu gasped at the mention of a fianceè, Shen Jiu groaned and rubbed his temples, but he still answered. "Qiu Haitang, and she's my Ex-Fianceè now."

Shen Yuan raised a brow but decided not to question it further since he was now convinced. The three teenagers behind Shen Jiu looked dumbfounded.

Grabbing the younger Shen's arm, Shen Jiu began to look over Shen Yuan and checking him for injuries. When he found a hickey along with a couple of bruises his face went dark. Shen Yuan was just smiling brightly and not really caring, he only cared when he was suddenly picked up by an angry looking Shen Jiu.

Ning YingYing, Luo Binghe, and Ming Fan only looked more confused when they began to leave and their Shizun was carrying some unknown person they just met.
