  Chapter 23 Part 3 Toward an Uncertain Dawn

  Threats and apologies poured forth Yanfei ignored them, shut the door. The boys called in their fathers.

  The local magistrate's son was among them none dared take the fall alone with him there.

  The magistrate arrived, face dark, tried acting official, but Yanfei tossed him a token.

  He knew it was Ying Zheng's highest-order pass full authority to punish on sight, no need to report.

  Understanding, he beat his own son bloody right there, leaving him in a pile.

  Gncing at Yanfei's bored face, he finally broke his son's arm; only then did Yanfei say, "Leave."

  The magistrate kowtowed, gathered the crowd, and left.

  The whole city changed pyboys locked indoors for fear of trouble.

  The courtesan auction was local high society's major event; local officials and merchants flocked. The entrance alone cost hundreds in silver.

  Tianming arrived; Yanfei and Yue'er shadowed him.

  After the courtesan appeared, dressed revealingly, with long legs, slim waist, and proud snowy breasts her beauty was both stirring and pitiable.

  The crowd went wild, prices rocketed above ten thousand taels, then slowed.

  After a few more bids, Shaoyu loudly added two thousand, pushing over twenty thousand.

  Stone Orchid shot him a gre Shaoyu sheepishly cimed to "join in the fun." Stone Orchid kept smirking.

  The courtesan's first night sold for thirty-three thousand taels.

  As it was about to end, Stone Orchid jumped on stage; everyone stared who'd dare make trouble?

  Seeing it was a beauty, several bold types started flirting.

  "Not bad I'm selling my own virginity." She removed her mask, let down her hair. Her beauty outshone the courtesan.

  The crowd inhaled sharply.

  Especially the magistrate's son; with his father seeking high connections, he thought delivering this girl would win everything.

  But he couldn't get her for himself.

  Local powers doubted Stone Orchid, thinking she was just a rich girl having fun. But after she signed the contract, it was serious business.

  Bidding erupted; the magistrate's son was especially aggressive, pushing price past fifty thousand, leaving just a few contenders.

  Shaoyu nudged Tianming, "Bid! Add two thousand." Tianming bid seventy thousand, scaring off some. Stone Orchid winked at him.

  After eighty-four thousand, the magistrate's son tried to rely on his status, Shaoyu muttered, "I'll remember you."

  At ninety thousand, Stone Orchid twisted, baring her waist, moving on stage many who had quit rejoined.

  "Hundred thousand!" Shaoyu clinched the deal.

  Price wasn't so high the area cked rich families, most had moved to Xianyang.

  That night Shaoyu hammered Stone Orchid all night, driven by her "100,000-tael" value.

  The next day Shaoyu brought Tianming to deal with the magistrate. Long Qie had expined the situation: magistrate was looking for escape, but hadn't revealed which master's path.

  Shaoyu twisted the magistrate's neck he stammered, "Sh-shaoyu sir… w-what are you doing?"

  "Heard you're getting promoted came to congratute!"

  "N-no it's just my honor to serve the Xiangs…"

  "Took our favors and tried running where could you go? Heaven or earth, you can't escape my grasp."

  "Sir, I swear if I am ever disloyal, may my descendants end…"

  Shaoyu sneered, "Shameless."

  He let go, ughing, "A misunderstanding, Mr. Zhao you swear such poison, being a son must be hard."

  The magistrate forced a ugh.

  "I've got great news, Mr. Magistrate!" Shaoyu joked.

  He forced a reply, "What's the happy event?"

  "I hear your daughter is ready to wed I brought a hero to be your son-in-w."

  He gnced nervously at Tianming could it be him?

  "Come, Long Qie greet your new father-in-w."

  "Ah?" Both the magistrate and Long Qie were stunned.

  "General Long Qie? Sir, you jest how am I worthy?"

  "You've supported Xiang for years; we're already family! I'll make it official now you're a house retainer."

  The magistrate paled, not daring to resist.

  "Bring all your daughters you can't keep Long Qie waiting."

  "All… all of them?"

  Shaoyu thumped Long Qie's chest, "See, one hero isn't enough! Also, your daughters aren't all pretty bring wives and concubines too, add a few for dowry."

  "S-sir, what reason…"

  "We're people of the jianghu no rules; if I say so, so it is. Do it."

  … The magistrate gathered his sixteen concubines and six daughters.

  "Long Qie, pick your favorites."

  "Shaoyu should go first."

  "The wedding is for you; I won't ruin your fortune…"

  …

  After Long Qie made his choices, Shaoyu locked the magistrate inside and the trio started an orgy.

  Meanwhile, Yanfei and Yue'er coldly returned to Tianming's house, originally pnning to observe him a few more days, but now furious. Yue'er too was upset.

  Tianming pyed awhile but felt increasingly uncomfortable he thought Shaoyu's actions were wrong but couldn't pinpoint it. Should he care about moral codes when dealing with enemies?

  He grew bored, lost interest, excused himself to stroll alone.

  Aimless, Tianming wandered the busy streets, feeling listless.

  Stone Orchid spotted him, shooed off Xiao Yuan and caught up, pulling Tianming into an alleyway.

  "What's wrong? You look dead."

  "I'm fine." Tianming mumbled.

  "Shaoyu?"

  "Handling business, should be away awhile."

  She stared, then suddenly pinned him to the wall.

  He was stunned. "What the ?"

  "Shh! Be quiet, people will hear." Sellers called outside, crowds everywhere.

  Stone Orchid yanked down Tianming's pants, exposed his fccid cock, and stroked it but nothing happened.

  "What are you doing? We'll get caught!"

  "Don't you think it's exciting? All these people, any could catch us. You torment me during sex; I'm always scared, but you just tease…"

  His cock twitched in her grip.

  "Stone Orchid, enough."

  "What, embarrassed? I'm not. Or… are you too nervous to get hard?"

  "…Who's afraid? If someone finds us, I'll let them join in fucking you."

  She raised an eyebrow, "What if it's a woman?"

  "Then I'll fuck her too…"

  She ughed, "So Tianming turned rapist scary!"

  Angry and embarrassed, Tianming pushed her head down, "Get licking…"

  In the risky setting, Stone Orchid knelt and sucked his cock.

  "What's wrong, got ED?"

  She teased and licked, but Tianming stayed limp.

  He finally told her what happened.

  "Am I scum bullying the weak… raping mother and daughter…"

  "That's it?"

  "Doesn't it feel wrong? Shouldn't bully others…"

  "Yet you loved tormenting me, or Duanmu Rong, Xue Nu… even your captives. You got off raping Xiao Yuan, didn't you?"

  "…It's not the same…"

  She mocked, "Maybe you just didn't fancy them. Now you're rationalizing."

  His face grew crimson, "It's not the same…"

  She kicked him. "You're just a pervert stop pretending."

  "Yeah, maybe I am scum…" He tugged his hair, at a loss. She stared, brows furrowing.

  "Come," she said, yanking him along.

  "Where?"

  She jumped into a random house; inside, a couple talking. The woman was pin, but had clearly nursed children.

  Seeing two teens enter, they looked armed but calmed at their rich dress.

  "What do you want?" The man shielded his wife.

  Stone Orchid fshed a gold piece; they stared hungrily.

  "Want it? Help us."

  They sensed important guests and promised to comply.

  Stone Orchid pointed to Tianming, "This is my brother; he wants to learn about sex. Can your wife teach him?"

  "My wife? Isn't that what the brothels are for?" Common folk didn't know rich youth had nursemaids for first time. "We don't want our family to know."

  The man eyed his wife; she took Tianming aside, with Stone Orchid following.

  "Huh, young dy, you too?"

  "Yeah, I need to learn."

  The wife ughed, "You're not siblings you look nothing alike."

  ...

  Inside, she undressed Tianming, who gnced helplessly at Stone Orchid.

  "Lie down, young master." She quickly stripped him.

  "You're well built, young master any woman marrying you will enjoy herself…" She snuck a look at Stone Orchid. "And the young miss is gorgeously stunning…"

  Tianming's cock stayed limp.

  The woman stripped too, addressing Stone Orchid, "Young dy, sex is simple: men have rods, women have holes; you make his hard and put it in the hole then it's pleasure all around."

  "Try it then…"

  She y between Tianming's thighs, licking his cock diligently, but nothing stirred pity filled her eyes.

  "Young master, has it ever gotten hard?"

  "Yes, of course."

  "Any injuries or sickness tely?"

  "Nope."

  "Think any bad food or diseases?"

  Tianming shook his head.

  The wife pulled Stone Orchid aside, whispered, "Girl, take him to a doctor; it's serious if he can't get hard he might as well be a eunuch, you'll never enjoy marriage…"

  Stone Orchid paid her and sent the couple off.

  "So quick? Didn't satisfy the young master?" the husband asked.

  She shrugged, "I think he's sick can't get it up…"

  "The gold piece?"

  "It's yours can a rich young dy cheat us?"

  He cheered, "You should've tried harder with the boy."

  She gred, "Heavens sent a gift stop gloating. We'll buy the kids new clothes, some meat…"

  "So generous…"

  Listening to their conversation, Stone Orchid held back ughter; Tianming was miserable.

  "Quit ughing what was the point of all that?"
