Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 421 - A Childish Temper

Chapter 421 A Childish Temper

Perhaps even Moqin and Hongyu were unable to tell exactly how big this house was.

The three of them had been personally approved by the owner of Huichun House, therefore they were granted a certain amount of freedom compared to the other girls who had been abducted and brought.

Lin Mengya was aware that she had not entered the worst situation yet for now. At the very least, Moqin and Hongyu had kind of lied to their boss.

No one could be sure what would happen next. At least for now, they were on the same boat.

Their relationship was nothing close to being intimate, but at least they were not heading down a deadlock.

There seemed to be various entertainment activities going on at this secret living quarters.

Seductive music echoed from some of the rooms, coupled with the chuckles and laughers of men and women.

Some rooms were quiet but they were each guarded by two men looking like door gods.

Even the three of them were not permitted to enter easily. They could only watch the place outside the rooms.

“Alas, while we have entered this place, where are we going to find them? We were so busy trying to fool our boss that I’ve forgotten about what’s important now.”

Hongyu commented with a sigh.

While Lin Mengya remained silent, her sense of hearing and smell were keener than others. Furthermore, the three of them were disadvantaged in terms of their level of martial art skills.

However, she was only carrying one satchel of an incapacitating agent. This was meant to be put to good use in the future.

“Don’t worry. We’ll be able to find them. According to the rules here, guests are expected to stay for a least three days once they come for visits. We should be able to gather something within these three days.”

Moqin tugged at Hongyu, knowing that Hongyu did not mean to complain against Qingge at all. However, they were after all the ones who plotted against Qingge first.

Now that Qingge did not hold it against them, they would not dare to spout any more nonsense, lest they ruin their relationship further.

“They are not on any of these two floors. Moqin, do you know if there is some kind of attic or basement?”

As long as they did not force their way into the room, the men guarding outside the rooms did not interfere with what they were doing.

As they walked from door to door, Lin Mengya’s radar, as well as her keen sense of smell and hearing, did not pick up anything out of normal.

The poison Xiu was carrying had already been recorded in Lin Mengya’s system. Therefore, there was bound to be some reaction once she came close to Xiu.

Moreover, Xiu had only arrived this evening. If one were to make a calculation, only four to five hours had passed since then.

Even if she were to be immersed in water and neutralized by various kinds of antidotes and medications for neutralizing poison, how was it possible for a child who had grown up immersed in poison to be totally free from any poison?

She responded in this way after pondering for a moment.

“There isn’t any attic or basement. Although this is a haven for the rich, I’ve heard from a sister here that Huichun House is the smallest-scaled courtesan house under her charge. Hongyu and I wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet the boss if he did not return abruptly five days ago.”

What, was Huichun House considered a small-scaled courtesan house?

Lin Mengya was greatly shaken by this fact.

How could such a splendid building be considered the smallest-scaled?! However, after reconsidering, Square Town was after all a relatively small border town. If not for the businessmen who passed through here, there would not be any customers who could afford a visit to such a luxurious courtesan house.

Nevertheless, secretive entertainment facilities of the like were rarely found in Dajin.

The friendly-looking youngster of unfathomable character was able to achieve this state of accomplishment only by himself?!

Not even a fool would believe this.

However, the fact was that she was indeed being trapped in here.

“Are we overreacting to this situation?” queried Lin Mengya after pondering over it.

Moqin and Hongyu exchanged looks. They did not understand what Lin Mengya was trying to get at.

“What I meant was while we kept thinking that your boss would look for the most secret place to imprison the girls, but these batch of girls may not be the very first batch to arrive. Neither were they the most special batch. They are merely merchandise to your boss. If we were the ones to store a batch of goods, would we spend a lot of effort in creating a secret room just to keep them?”

All of a sudden, Moqin and Hongyu were enlightened.

Lin Mengya was right. Just because they had entered the house so easily, they thought that their boss would have hidden the girls in a place where they would not come into contact with.

In reality, the courtesans who come into Huichun House either had a contract to sell themselves to the boss or the boss had a hold on them in some ways.

This meant that they belonged on the same side.

They only needed to bound those young girls up using ropes and lock them in the rooms. Even if the girls were to break free from the ropes, they would not be able to overcome those valiant guards at the gates.

“Oh yes, why didn’t we think of that?”

Hongyu opened her eyes wide and exclaimed in delight.

Although they finally saw through the situation, it was not an easy task to enter.

She had seen for herself how doughty those guards were earlier.

Anyone who came close to them would invite a glare from the guards. Needless to say, it would be even more difficult to sneak inside.

The relaxed mood the three ladies shared just a moment ago turned tense in that instant once again.

Feeling helpless and lost, the three of them returned to the room to think about their strategy.

“Mealtime.”

Zhu Yan’s voice echoed from outside the room and the three ladies quickly pretended to be having a harmonious time and Hongyu opened the door wearing a smile on her face.

However, Zhu Yan entered the room looking upset. He was visibly angry besides being the arrogant guard who led them here.

Surprised, Lin Mengya wondered who in Huichun House would have the audacity to offend this young man.

“These are your meal packets. Leave them outside when you’re done eating!”

Zhu Yan sounded like he had just eaten some explosives when he put the meal packets onto the table forcefully. The three girls, including Lin Mengya were smarter and sharper than other sophisticated people. They exchanged looks and understood each other immediately.

Hongyu, who had the friendliest disposition, smiled gently and said, “Why, what happened, Lord Zhu Yan? Who in this house is so blind as to offend you? Do tell us, since there’re no outsiders here. Whoever is so blinded? Let Big Sister Moqin teach her a lesson with her whip!”

Although Zhu Yan had always despised these girls who betrayed their bodies to make a living, he had a temper like a child.

Since someone had inquired about it and offered to get back at the person, he would most readily voice out his complaints.

“It’s none other than that newcomer! I was kind enough to deliver food to her. Not only did she refuse to eat, she even threw the food at me. If not for the fact that the boss says she’s a high-quality commodity from Lieyun, I would have gotten someone to hang her up and starve her for three days and three nights!”

Zhu Yan’s furious complaint made Lin Mengya’s heart leap.

That must be Xiu, without a doubt!

Suppressing the elation in her heart, Lin Mengya suddenly thought of a good solution. Immediately, she pretended to empathize with Zhu Yan’s sentiments and tried to calm him down patiently.

“Please calm down, Lord Zhu Yan. Surely she can’t get away, not knowing how to appreciate your kindness. As long as she is kept in Huichun House, Big Sister Moqin would have inexhaustive ways of tormenting her, so much so that she would rather die than to live. Furthermore, no one would be able to find out about it.”

Lin Mengya purposely sounded empathetic and Moqin played along. She was after all the authoritative figure in Huichun House, who was in charge of punishing those disobedient girls.

Kids tended to bear grudges. This was especially true for extremely proud people like Zhu Yan.

If even those whom he despised dared to bully him, naturally he would not be able to swallow it.

Nevertheless, while Lin Mengya kept saying that it was unfortunate, this was as good as putting his favorite thing before him and not permitting him to touch it.

Zhu Yan, who was barely an adult, was unable to suppress his impulse.

He might appear cool on the surface, but his heart had been incited by the courtesan named Qingge that he was all ready to spring into action.

“Do you really have a good idea about punishing that disgraceful girl?”

Zhu Yan looked askance, pretending not to be bothered.

However, there was no way he could fool the three adults.

Seeing that he was going to take the bait, Lin Mengya released the line further.

“There’re many ways of doing it, but unfortunately she is not one of the courtesans in Huichun House yet. Even if Big Sister Moqin wants to help you get back at her, she couldn’t do much.”

Zhu Yan rolled his eyes. He was smart in his own way.

Speaking down at them, he said, “Why don’t you teach me how to do it? I’d teach that girl a lesson then!”

...

Moqin was skilled in many ways, and surely she was reluctant. She looked as if she was put on a tight spot. It was only until Zhu Yan was getting impatient after threatening her that she finally hesitantly replied saying, “It’s not that I don’t want to teach you, but these skills had been passed down from previous generations.”

“It is an art to be able to tell which part of a girl’s body could be touched which not to be touched, how her face should not be disfigured, yet to make her suffer so much that she’d rather die by using the proper strength on the right place. Even if I were to teach you now, you would need around ten days to master it. If you don’t have the patience and the girl gets disfigured, are you going to be held accountable? I don’t want to get you in trouble!”

Moqin finally revealed the difficulty she was facing. In response, Zhu Yan pouted as he also started to hesitate.

“Humph, all of you troublesome ladies are just deliberately mystifying things, but I’m not taken in by all the nonsense! What’s the big deal about these high-quality goods. I’m going to the boss to have him punish the shameless girl!”

Zhu Yan then dashed out of the room in a rage.

Hongyu and Moqin were about to stop Zhu Yan, but they were stopped by Lin Mengya.

Upon seeing Zhu Yan dashing out the room, Lin Mengya simply sat down by the table and opened her meal packet.

“The food in Huichun House was not bad at all. Why don’t the two of you sit down and eat your fill? After this, we can proceed with saving people.”

Saving people? Had they not already failed after confusing and bewitching Zhu Yan?
