TRWSB – Chapter 9 The Second Place with the Most Beautiful Women in the Imperial Capital

Zhuang Renquan noticed that Qi Shaorong was becoming increasingly outrageous and couldn’t help but clear his throat. “Your Excellency, Evil Doctor, can we discuss some serious matters now?”

Qi Shaorong nodded, “Of course, as you wish, Third Master Zhuang. When will you pay the remaining balance?”

Zhuang Renquan: “…”

Zhuang Hao walked in through the door and said, “Third Uncle, you came to visit the Evil Doctor and didn’t call me?”

Qi Shaorong tilted his head, sizing up Zhuang Hao with a smirk. “Young Master Zhuang, you’ve been here for a while, haven’t you?”

“No, I just arrived,” Zhuang Hao replied.

“Really? So Young Master Zhuang just arrived,” Qi Shaorong said with a cold smile, clearly not trusting him.

Zhuang Qian shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Qian and asked, “Is the chair uncomfortable?”

Zhuang Qian quickly waved his hands, “No, no, it’s fine, no problem at all.”

“Really? I thought there might be nails on the chair,” Qi Shaorong said.

Zhuang Qian: “…”

“Senior Evil Doctor, this is your first time in the capital, right? Why don’t I show you some local sights?” Zhuang Hao suggested.

Qi Shaorong nodded, “Great! I appreciate it, Young Master Zhuang.”

“Where would you like to go, Senior Evil Doctor?” Zhuang Hao asked.

“Actually, I’m very interested in places in the capital that are known for their beauty. How about we visit the second most beautiful place in the capital?” Qi Shaorong proposed.

“There are so many places in the capital known for their beauty, it’s hard to say which is second best,” Zhuang Hao replied with a frown.

Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and shook his head, full of regret. “Young Master Zhuang, you’ve really wasted your time living in the capital for so long. It’s well known that the place with the most beautiful women in the capital is the palace, where the king has countless beauties in his harem. And the second place is—brothels!”

Zhuang Hao: “…”

Zhuang Qian: “…”

Zhuang Renquan cleared his throat a couple of times. Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Renquan and said, “What? Third Master, you want to go too? You’ve just recovered from a serious illness; it’s better for you to avoid such places.”

Zhuang Renquan: “… I don’t want to go. I just think it’s not good to visit such places.”

Qi Shaorong glanced at Zhuang Hao and said, “It’s not good for Young Master Hao to go. When others go to such places, they are looking for fun. If Young Master Hao runs over, who knows who is taking advantage of whom?”

Zhuang Qian: “…”

Zhuang Hao took a deep breath and said, “If the Evil Doctor wants to go, I will certainly accompany you.”

“Oh, Young Master Hao has agreed?”

“It’s just a brothel; it’s not a big deal,” Zhuang Hao replied.

Qi Shaorong chuckled and said, “It’s not a big deal, but Young Master Hao, you seem like an innocent little virgin. It surprises me that you agreed so easily.”

Zhuang Qian’s eyes lit up. “I want to go too!”

Zhuang Hao shot Zhuang Qian a look and said, somewhat displeased, “Why does everything have to involve you?”

Zhuang Qian replied unhappily, “Big Brother, don’t favor one over the other!”

Zhuang Hao: “…”

Qi Shaorong stood up. “Let’s go.”

Qi Shaorong looked over at Zhuang Renquan, who stood up and said, “Don’t mind me. You young people should go out and have some fun, see the world.”

Qi Shaorong smiled and said, “Thank you, Third Master.”

Zhuang Qian followed Qi Shaorong and said excitedly, “Senior Evil Doctor, are we really going to a brothel?”

Qi Shaorong chuckled, “Yes! What’s wrong? Are you scared?”

Zhuang Qian stammered, “What’s there to be afraid of! I’m not that timid.”

“Exactly! A man who doesn’t visit a brothel isn’t a real man,” Qi Shaorong said.

“My brother won’t let me go to a brothel.”

“What a foolish boy. Your brother must have sneaked in before, just keeping it from you. I’ve seen many men like your brother,” Qi Shaorong said, crossing his arms nonchalantly.

Qi Shaorong turned to Zhuang Hao and asked, “Young Master Hao, have you ever been to a brothel?”

“No.”

“Just as I thought, you’re not being honest. Your brother is already this old; how could he not have gone to a brothel?” Qi Shaorong said, grinning at Zhuang Qian.

Zhuang Qian rubbed his nose and asked, “If I may be so bold, Senior Evil Doctor, how old are you? You seem quite knowledgeable about this!”

“I… I’m nearly seventy,” Qi Shaorong casually replied.

“That’s quite old!” Zhuang Qian said.

Qi Shaorong nodded, “Yeah! Old enough to be your father.”

Zhuang Qian: “…”

Zhuang Qian glanced at Zhuang Hao, who appeared calm, and swallowed hard, saying, “You really don’t look like you’re seventy.”

“Who says I don’t? I’m forever eighteen,” Qi Shaorong replied.

Zhuang Qian: “…”
