Chapter 99: Arrival at the Golden Wind Empire_2
Little sir? Su Chen nearly fainted when he heard that; the titles in these Western countries are truly peculiar.
But since the person had said it that way, he couldn't be petty, so he politely replied, "I was just kindly reminding you, Miss, without any intention of being abrupt."
Siger Meiruo gave a gentle smile, a trace of appreciation appearing on her face.
Although Su Chen's attire was not luxurious, his demeanor was striking. Coupled with his handsome appearance and extraordinary aura, many people found him immediately likable. Siger Meiruo secretly wondered in her heart, from which Eastern country did this mysterious young man come?
"May I ask, little sir, from which country in the East do you come?"
Before Su Chen could answer, Ghost Howl pulled him, shot a cold glance at Siger Meiruo, and said in a deep voice, "We have business to attend to, farewell."
With that, he directly pulled Su Chen out of the Jin Shili hall under everyone's gaze.
From behind, Du Ziteng shouted, "Hey, are we not staying at Jin Shili anymore? With my handsome charm, if I bargained a bit more, we could get half off..."
Watching the trio hastily leave, a glimmer of curiosity flashed in Siger Meiruo's eyes. A middle-aged man with a subdued aura, a handsome young man with an extraordinary presence, and a young man who seemed to do nothing but shout, what kind of combination was this?
"Miss, could these three also be after the sheepskin remnants..."
"Sith, do you remember what I told you? When you're traveling, don't rashly wave your fists at others because you'll never know whether the opponent's strength surpasses yours."
Siger Meiruo calmly interrupted.
The brown-haired strong man, Sith, listened and bowed his head with guilt. Although he was a beast cultivation expert of the beast deity level in gold attributes, he was as humble as a subordinate before the distinguished Miss Siger. But that was about right since he was Siger Meiruo's personal bodyguard, and she was the most beloved granddaughter of the Clan Leader of the Siger Clan, one of the three great families in Nadas City.
If the Dawson Clan was a famous business family in Nadas City and throughout the Golden Wind Empire, then the Siger Clan was a military giant. Such a notion was not baseless; first of all, the Siger Clan's leader, Siger Mengfeng, was the first military minister in the inner court of the Golden Wind Empire, wielding immense power. Moreover, it was said that almost all the weaponry of the Golden Wind Empire came from the Siger Clan's arsenal, and the current Monarch of the Golden Wind Empire, Jin Zhongyan's favorite Imperial Consort, was Siger Meiruo's own sister.
With so much honor gathered in one family, it was difficult for the Siger Clan not to become a dominant force. Siger Meiruo, being the most cherished granddaughter of the Siger family, was naturally adored by many, but the light she emitted was not as simple as outsiders saw. For a delicate woman to stand firm in such a huge family, it could only mean her tactics and intelligence far exceeded ordinary people...
Following Ghost Howl, Su Chen arrived at a very ordinary small inn. He didn't say anything, but Du Ziteng behind him was not happy.
"Why are we staying in such a shabby inn? Not only is the environment bad, but even the service girls look like dinosaurs."
"What are dinosaurs?"
Su Chen turned back and asked.
Du Ziteng chuckled awkwardly, "They're just the epitome of ugly."
Su Chen got the gist and smiled knowingly, then turned back around. Ghost Howl only booked two rooms, and Du Ziteng got one to himself. He didn't argue, but he felt it was especially unfair that he had to pay for the room himself.
Entering the room, seeing Ghost Howl making himself a bed on the floor, Su Chen felt a bit uneasy. But he knew that Ghost Howl usually wasn't chatty, so he didn't say anything.
Outside the window, night started to fall. Standing at the second-floor window, he could clearly see the beautiful night of Nadas City below. Like streets dotted with colorful stars, they remained crowded and bustling, no less flourishing than during the day. Furthermore, when night fell, some places that were deserted during the day began to open, attracting tourists from all over the continent to indulge.
Ghost Howl lay silently on the ground, with his hands behind his head, eyes closed, resting. Yet Su Chen couldn't settle down. He lay at the window, watching the bustling streets below, the brilliant lights, and the lively cries, feeling incredibly excited.
If only he could go out and wander around. He couldn't help but glance at Ghost Howl, only to find that the latter showed no signs of movement at all. He seemed to be asleep, or perhaps petrified, consistently maintaining his supine resting position.
Just when Su Chen was wavering internally, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Hey there, pretty boy, are you inside? Want to go out and wander the streets?"
It was Du Ziteng's sleazy voice. A thought stirred in Su Chen's heart, but he heard Ghost Howl murmur with his eyes closed, "If you want to go, go with him, I'll give you two hours."
Su Chen felt immense joy but kept a calm appearance, "Then I'll go, you have a good rest..."
Finishing his words, he dashed toward the door, opening it to find the quaintly dressed Du Ziteng standing there, "Hey, I knew you were eager to go out and play. Perfect, I know this place well, I'll be your free tour guide."
"What's a tour guide?"
Su Chen asked curiously.
"Someone who leads you around to have fun, hehe. Speaking of fun, who can match me, Du Ziteng? I wouldn't say I've been everywhere, but as long as it's famous in the Golden Wind Empire, I know it!"
Su Chen chuckled, and soon the two of them left the inn, heading to the bustling streets.
Once on the streets, Su Chen realized just how narrow the view from the inn window had been.
Countless people walked along the street, vendors and shops lined both sides, hawking cries and gong bangs interweaving into a bustling nocturne. The colorful lights were everywhere, and an endless array of strange goods was on display. Everyone was thoroughly enjoying the lively night scene.
"Come on, I'll take you to a great place."
Du Ziteng suddenly leaned in toward Su Chen, speaking mysteriously.
"Where? Let's not go too far if possible."
Su Chen hesitated a bit.
"Don't worry, it's very close to the inn, just a hundred meters ahead, follow me!"
Du Ziteng promised confidently. Su Chen nodded, then followed him through the crowd, weaving around. Although it was only a hundred meters, it took them a good ten minutes because of Nadas City's bustling streets.
Finally, they arrived in front of a conspicuous building. It stood out not only because of its particularly red and suggestive lighting but also because of the flamboyant characters on the sign: Drunken Dream Garden!
"This is..."
Even with Su Chen's limited experience, he could tell that this place was a house of pleasure. But this Western pleasure house was a hundred times better than those in Iron Stone City in terms of quality. The building's exterior was grand and spacious, comprising three levels, each with distinct lighting and decor. According to Su Chen's observation, the higher the level, the fewer the patrons, presumably because the spending threshold also increased.
"This is Drunken Dream Garden, one of the top-rated pleasure establishments in the Golden Wind Empire, hehe. Let me tell you, the ladies here are quite famous across the continent. Their figure, their skin, and their bedroom skills..."
As Du Ziteng spoke, his expression grew sleazier, nearly drooling.
Su Chen shook his head repeatedly, "I'm not going, you go if you want to."
Du Ziteng grabbed his arm, speaking emotionally, "The ladies inside are genuinely stunning! The last one I met was supposedly a beautiful mature woman from a fallen noble family, her thighs and waist drew you in tightly..."
Su Chen's mouth twitched, he said sheepishly, "Then you go ahead, I'm not interested in this sort of thing."
With that, he turned to leave, but just as he was about to, Du Ziteng uttered something that piqued Su Chen's curiosity: "Hey, if you're not interested in that, how about seeing the four renowned beauties of the Golden Wind Empire?"
"The four beauties?"
Seeing Su Chen's interest, Du Ziteng broke into a wide grin and leaned on his shoulder, "Yes, to be precise, one of the four beauties, hehe. Man, who doesn't covet beauty? Granted, you're still young and might find it challenging to engage in those activities, but seeing the legendary beauties is a good thing, broadening your horizons and lifting your spirits. Plus, think about it, countless dignitaries clamoring to meet them daily, yet only a few actually succeed. Not only that, meetings last no longer than fifteen minutes."
Du Ziteng shook his head with an exaggeratedly regretful expression, "Fifteen minutes, think about it, what can you do in fifteen minutes? It's not even enough for my..."
Su Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Why is your head filled with these things?"
