Chapter 46: Caught

Xunxiang Tower was located in the southwest corner of Fengcheng, built by the riverside, grand and imposing, occupying a vast area.

Here, there were not only human beauties but also Demon Clan (Beast) beauties—fox girls, cat girls—everything one could desire, catering to every need of the guests.

Light gauze curtains hung about, and even the air was filled with a unique fragrance.

As dusk approached, lanterns bloomed everywhere, and people came and went in an endless stream.

At this moment, Qin Mu was dressed in white.

His hair was not styled like others but was tied up in a ponytail.

With his youthful face, if you didn’t look closely, you might mistake him for a young girl.

Stepping through the door, a trace of disappointment flashed in Qin Mu’s eyes.

He had thought the interior would be luxurious, with beauties everywhere, but looking around, it was just so-so.

Whether it was the décor or the looks of the women, Qin Mu felt they weren’t even as attractive as the servant girls by his sisters’ sides.

Actually, the women in Xunxiang Tower were beautiful enough, but Young Master Qin had grown up surrounded by the unparalleled beauty of Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Mengyu, plus Liu Zixi, Lu Qian, and Wang Yan’er—each a peerless beauty.

Naturally, Young Master Qin’s standards were much higher.

“How about it, Brother Zhang! Not bad, right?!”

Liu Kui wiped away his drool.

Even he couldn’t afford to come to Xunxiang Tower every day.

The women here were beautiful with sweet voices; just one visit was well worth it!

Qin Mu paused, looking at Liu Kui’s pig-headed expression.

Sensing people glancing over, he quietly took a step back to keep his distance.

“Mm… As long as Brother Liu likes it.”

As Qin Mu looked around, a voice sounded from behind.

“Oh my, this young master’s face is unfamiliar. Is it your first time here?”

Qin Mu turned to see a middle-aged woman walking over, swaying her waist.

Liu Kui stepped up to Qin Mu.

“My brother here is indeed visiting for the first time—don’t neglect him!”

The middle-aged woman covered her mouth and laughed softly.

“What are you saying, young master? All are guests at Baixiang Tower.

Look, there are many girls behind eyeing you~”

Just as she said, the moment Qin Mu entered, he attracted the gazes of many girls.

After all, such a fair-skinned youth with a touch of baby fat was irresistibly cute.

“Girls, take good care of this young master~”

“Coming!”

With the woman’s shout, several girls immediately surrounded them.

“Hehe, young master is so adorable~”

“Young master, choose me tonight. I’m very good at pleasing~”

“Don’t listen to them, young master.

They’ll eat you alive.

Better pick me—I’m different from them.

I’ll only care for you~”

Before Qin Mu could react, a chorus of teasing voices filled his ears.

The girls beside him were touching his body, their hands soft and gentle, making the girls like him even more.

“Ah…”

Qin Mu was at a loss.

From childhood till now, Young Master Qin had never experienced such a scene and couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“Wait! Wait!”

But the girls around seemed not to hear, dragging Qin Mu upstairs, leaving Liu Kui alone downstairs.

Liu Kui looked left and right.

There wasn’t a single girl beside him—everyone was around Qin Mu.

“Hey! What? None for me? At least take care of a regular customer!”

The girls were too enthusiastic; Qin Mu couldn’t resist at all, being pulled toward a room.

Qin Mu: “!!!”

This is bad! I didn’t want to complete a major life event here!

“Wait! Let me stop for a moment!”

No matter how much Qin Mu called out, the girls dragged him straight into the room.

Stumbling in, Qin Mu resigned himself to his fate.

A few tears squeezed from the corners of his eyes as he closed them.

“Come! I can take it!”

After a while, Qin Mu felt nothing happen.

He quietly opened his eyes.

The passionate girls from before were now standing obediently to the side.

What was going on?

Qin Mu was full of confusion and then noticed the middle-aged woman from earlier standing not far away.

Gulp!

Could it be—she had her eyes on him…

Qin Mu’s hands and feet trembled.

Wait!

Qin Mu noticed the woman was standing obediently too.

Strange.

Qin Mu was at a loss; his mind was about to short-circuit.

Ding—

It was the crisp sound of porcelain clinking.

Qin Mu turned his head.

A tall, elegant woman was crossing her legs, slowly sipping tea.

Now, Qin Mu’s eyes flew open in shock.

“Yan’er Aunt!!!”

He never expected to meet Yan’er Aunt here!

He had the feeling of being caught by a parent doing something bad; his gaze darted around.

Wang Yan’er said nothing, sipping her tea.

At this moment, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

No one knew how much time passed before Wang Yan’er glanced at Qin Mu.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you want to look? There are so many girls here, Mu’er. Look as much as you want—it’s fine.”

Qin Mu didn’t dare look any further, hastily deflecting.

“With Yan’er Aunt here, just looking at you is enough.”

Wang Yan’er looked at the girls before her.

“You may go.”

“Yes! Tower Master!”

The girls withdrew in unison.

At last, Qin Mu understood why Yan’er Aunt was here—so this place was an industry of the Star Plucking Tower!

Qin Mu wanted to cry but had no tears.

He’d finally seized a chance, only for it to end like this!

At this moment, there was no emotion in Wang Yan’er’s beautiful eyes as she stared coldly at Qin Mu.

Her presence was imposing, intimidating without anger—a complete contrast to her usual gentle demeanor.

Now, she was truly the Mistress of the Star-Picking Tower.

Fortunately, Qin Mu was experienced in such matters.

He pretended not to notice Wang Yan’er’s expression, moved behind her, and just by lowering his head a bit, he could see a pair of full, white globes.

Placing his hands on Wang Yan’er’s delicate shoulders, Qin Mu skillfully began to massage.

“Yan’er Aunt, I was wrong this time.

I just wanted to take a look—no other intentions—just curiosity.”

Qin Mu began his sugar-coated artillery tactic.

But after a while, he saw Wang Yan’er remained unmoved.

At this point, he had no choice but to use that method.

Gritting his teeth, Qin Mu said, “Yan’er Aunt, I accept the punishment this time.

I leave it entirely to you to decide.”

Upon hearing this, a glimmer appeared in Wang Yan’er’s eyes, but her tone was icy.

“If I told you to choose between your Aunt Lu and me, which would you pick?”

“Of course, Yan’er Aunt.”

“Really?”

“Whoever lies is a puppy!”

“Then, between your Aunt Lu and me, who’s more beautiful?”

“Yan’er Aunt!”

“Who’s gentler and more considerate?”

“Yan’er Aunt!”

“Who does Mu’er like most?”

“Yan’er Aunt!”

After asking, Wang Yan’er was greatly pleased.

The icy aura vanished.

“This is a one-time exception.

There won’t be mercy next time.”

See! See!

Young Master Qin is amazing too!

“Of course! It won’t happen again! Hehe…”

Qin Mu scratched his head and grinned.

Unbeknownst to him, a Recording Stone nearby flickered with faint light.
