Under Su Yang's intensive and confident gaze, i Ying eventually gave up and said, "Alright, I will tell you about Qian Fuju."
She then turned to look at i Xing and continued, "Please give us so privacy. I don't want you to hear this."
"I understand." i Xing didn't complain and went straight into another room.
Once they were alone, i Ying took a deep breath before looking at Su Yang and speaking in a shaky voice, "Qian Fuju… He used to be one of my most frequent clients. He would co to visit at least every day— sotis even many tis throughout one day at first. I don't want to sound arrogant saying that he was obsessed with , but..."
"He was a little rough at first, but it wasn't anything new. However, he eventually started hitting , and it would worsen as ti went on."
"I tried to do sothing about it, but alas, he was a business owner within the Yellow Light District while I was only a lowly escort in the Pink Light District. Even if he killed , nobody would help or do anything to him."
"Even worst, he threatened to take i Xing away from if I resisted against him, so I could only let him abuse . Fortunately, he would stop coming over as often, so I only had to deal with him once a week, sotis even a month. This lasted for many years until you freed from that place, but by the looks of it… It appears that he wants back..."
"I see… So he's the reason you acquired those wounds…" Su Yang mumbled in a low but calm voice.
However, deep within his heart burned a small but vicious fla. As soone who treated every single one of his partners as though they were his treasures, he despite those who treat them badly, especially those who stoop so low to hit their partners.
"I understand. You don't have to say anymore." Su Yang said to her, who was clearly trying her best to not shed any tears as she recalled her unpleasant mories with Qian Fuju.
"Go get so rest." Su Yang said a mont later.
"You won't do anything unreasonable while I sleep, right?" i Ying asked him in a worried voice.
"Haha… What do you think I am going to do? Waltz straight to the Yellow Light District and kill Qian Fuju? You're thinking too much. How about this? I will sleep together with you on the sa bed tonight so you can tell if I slip out of the bed later?" Su Yang suggested.
Although he would've definitely done just that— kill Qian Fuju, he was not there as 'Su Yang', so he can not do sothing so daring without repercussions.
"Sleep on the sa bed…?" i Ying was taken by surprise by his suggestion, but she didn't refuse.
"Okay."
Soti later, i Xing returned to the room, and they all slept in the sa bed.
'Wow… I am sharing the sa bed with the Manager and mother… He feels even more like a father now!' i Xing thought to herself as she held a huge smile on her face for the rest of the night even when she was asleep.
The following morning, Su Yang and i Xing left the hotel and walked to the massage parlor side to side.
"What is this sll? It slls so weird, and my nose feels like it's being pricked by tiny needles every ti I take a breath." i Xing imdiately pinched her nose when she slled this awful sll.
However, the sll wasn't foul— it was just unpleasant and very intense.
"It's a flammable liquid. I didn't bother to clean it up yesterday." Su Yang said as he summoned his alchemy flas, shocking i Xing.
"If it's flammable, why are you using that?!" She exclaid with a terrified look on her face.
Su Yang chuckled and said, "Don't worry."
He then tossed his alchemy flas at his own building, imdiately engulfing the entire building with fierce fla....
This shocked not only i Xing but the people around him, and they all wondered why he was trying to burn down his own building after what happened yesterday.
Whoosh!
The alchemy flas disappeared shortly after, and to everyone's surprise, the building remained completely unhard.
"T-The sll is gone!" i Xing grew even more surprised when she realized this fact.
"Let's go inside." Su Yang spoke calmly as he approached the door.
"O-Okay!" i Xing quickly followed him from behind.
Once they were inside the building, business began as usual.
Their clients would ask Su Yang if everything was okay, as they'd heard about what happened yesterday from others.
"News sure travels fast in the City of Pleasure. I am fine, thank you for the concern." Su Yang chuckled.
"Good, because I'd be devastated if your business is suddenly gone." The woman said as she removed her clothes and laid on the bed.
Ti passed quickly, and before they were aware, it was already the end of the day.
"Let's go ho." Su Yang said to i Xing.
"Okay!"
They left the building shortly after.
However, they were forced to stop the second they stepped outside the building, as a group of individuals suddenly surrounded the building and blocked their path.
"Manager…"
i Xing imdiately walked behind Su Yang for cover.
"How may I help you, gentlen?" Su Yang asked them with a calm expression on his face.
The group of people didn't respond to his question.
A mont later, the people in the center moved out of the way to allow a handso young man to enter the surrounded area.
The handso young man stopped walking a few ters in front of Su Yang, and he proceeded to stare at them with a look of arrogance in his gaze.
"You're the one who stole my woman from ? I expected sothing more pleasant to look at, but alas, you turned out to be so toad." The handso young man spoke in a calm voice, yet his tone was filled with disgust.
Su Yang could imdiately recognize this man's identity even though this is his first ti seeing this person.
"Qian Fuju, huh? You just saved ti looking for you." Su Yang said with a calm smile on his face.
