A Tale of Loyalty and Desire

Chapter 1 - Offer

Xiang Ru, the most beautiful male prostitute in Yingtai Empire.

A lot of people wanted to meet him and spend time with him, but of course, that wasn't an easy thing to do. He wouldn't accept any guests except they're very important figures. And he rarely sleeps with his guests.

Through hard work, Xiang Ru managed to build his place and it became the most famous brothel in the Empire. Filled with expensive drinks and foods, as well as high-quality beauties. At least, Xiang Ru is satisfied with his current situation.

- "Master Xiang, some people are requesting for you." One of the courtesans reported in a hurry.

- "I told you that I won't meet anyone tonight. Tell them to leave."

- "But..."

Xiang Ru raised his gaze and looked at the girl. Everyone who ed in his place knew well enough that he wouldn't meet just anyone, but seeing her look anxious, he knew whoever they were, they might be from a high position. He stood up from his seat. "I will see them."

Xiang Ru stepped down the stairs when he spotted the stairs. He was slightly stunned when he saw one of them turn around. The man looked young, maybe at the same age as himself. His handsome face could pass as a painting. But the black sword he's holding is a clear sign that the man is not just a normal noble.

Not only the man, but the two men who came with him also don't look normal. One is a stern-looking man holding a silver sword while the other looks like a scholar. He approached them and politely bowed his head.

- "It's an honor to have you three here, but I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you. Perhaps I can provide you with our most beautiful girls?"

- "How dare you refuse?" The stern-looking man frowned. "Do you even know who is he? You must have a death wish." Said the man as he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

- "Pan Zhiqiang, I didn't come here to kill someone." Scolded the leader of the two.

But of course, after hearing the name of Pan Zhiqiang, Xiang Ru would immediately recognize their identity.

There's only one person named Pan Zhiqiang in this Empire. The young commander who served the young Emperor ascended the throne most grotesquely.

The Emperor has a really bad rumor, so Xiang Ru doesn't want to offend the man. He refused to lose his head just because he refused to accompany this man.

- "My apologies for my ignorance, Your Majesty." Xiang Ru bowed his head again. "Since your arrival is quite sudden, I didn't have any preparation, but please follow me." Xiang Ru led the three men towards the best room he had in this building.

The room had a quiet ambiance and looked comfortable. After the servants brought food and drinks, he forbade anyone from getting close to the room.

Having someone killed within his brothel would be the last thing he would want to happen.

Xiang Ru poured some tea for the three gentlemen. "So, to what honor do I have to make Your Majesty come all the way here?"

- "Why don't you work for me?" Ren Zhengsheng offered.

- "Excuse me?" Xiang Ru was caught off guard by the sudden offer.

- "You're quite famous within the Empire, not only because of your beauty but also your skillful way of gathering information. I need someone like you to work for me."
