"I only want to be a spectator," the King of Yu replied indifferently, then cast his gaze on Mo Wenyuan in the distance.
Mo Wenyuan seemed uninterested in what was happening here. His eyes under the mask were fixed on the stage below, his emotions inscrutable.
Just then, the initial results of the vote on the stage were out. Most people wanted to see Nian'er dance.
Su Mingyu raised an eyebrow. If Nian'er really danced in those previous clothes, it would be quite a sight. These men!
Just as everyone on the stage was secretly looking forward to Nian'er's dance, Su Mingyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her hand and said, "Eighty taels for playing the zither."
As soon as she said this, the entire venue fell silent.
Although everyone was chatting enthusiastically, not many were actually willing to spend silver.
Even the most - voted dance option had only gathered a little over fifty taels in total.
Su Mingyu had offered eighty taels right away, and it wasn't for the most - voted dance.
The rebellious spirit of a man was immediately roused. "Young Master Su, do you look down on us?"
Su Mingyu propped her head up and looked at him, smiling faintly. "I just want to see Miss Nian'er play the zither. If you're not satisfied, just raise the price."
Her words enraged the crowd. For a moment, those who had been watching the fun rushed to buy votes.
In no time, the votes for the dance exceeded two hundred taels.
Su Mingyu yawned lazily. "I suddenly don't want to watch the zither - playing anymore. Just add that eighty taels to the dance votes."
"You!" The people on the stage were stunned. They had worked so hard to raise the price for the dance, only to end up benefiting someone else!
"Didn't you say you wanted to see Miss Nian'er play the zither?"
Facing the man's question on the stage, Su Mingyu raised an eyebrow lazily. "Now I just want to watch the dance. Besides, all you want is to see Miss Nian'er in a sheer dress. Coincidentally, so do I. What's your problem?"
Her words left everyone speechless.
For a moment, no one could find a retort.
Seeing this, the hunchbacked man struck the gong. "The result of Miss Nian'er's vote this time is the dance."
Then, he smiled at Su Mingyu. "The one who spent the most silver is Young Master Su. Please choose the clothes for Miss Nian'er."
So, under the jealous and resentful looks of everyone, Su Mingyu chose the most anticipated outfit.
The outfit was just two thin layers of gauze. When Nian'er came out in it, everyone's eyes popped out.
As she swayed her waist, the tantalizing glimpse of her body made the atmosphere reach a boiling point.
The King of Yu looked at the excited men outside and raised his eyebrows. "Is this also what Brother Su likes?"
"Except for those men, of course I like all good - looking girls," Su Mingyu said, her eyes fixed on Nian'er all the time.
Fortunately, she had prepared flesh - colored one - piece undergarments for these girls in advance. Otherwise, these scoundrels would have had a field day.
Seeing Su Mingyu so calm, a glint of interest flashed in the King of Yu's eyes. "I thought, as a woman, you would feel uncomfortable."
"Why?" Su Mingyu almost blurted out the question. "One should do one's job. Miss Nian'er's job is this. If this can increase her value, I don't think Miss Nian'er will object."
"I've never heard such words from a woman before," the King of Yu smiled, his eyes growing a bit deeper.
Su Mingyu didn't respond. She just stared at the stage below.
As the song ended, Miss Nian'er's dance was over.
In her red dress and with a slightly flushed face from dancing, many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The second show started in a hurry. It was the girl that Gu Ruobai had chosen before.
Su Mingyu frowned as she watched. Mo Wenyuan, played by Gu Ruobai, showed no sign of making a move.
"What's wrong? You seem to dislike this girl," the King of Yu caught all her expressions.
"Not really. I just can't handle this type of girl," Su Mingyu didn't bother to defend herself.
The King of Yu squinted his eyes. "I quite like her. She's silly and cute."
Hearing this, Su Mingyu looked at him teasingly. "Then why doesn't the King of Yu make a move?"
As if in response to Su Mingyu's words, the King of Yu raised his hand and offered two hundred taels to buy this girl to play the zither.
After choosing the most revealing outfit for her, the girl stumbled through a tune that was completely out of tune.
Compared to her nervousness, the people on the stage had stars in their eyes.
Her pitifully flustered look was really adorable. Different from the charming Nian'er, she made people want to protect her.
"What a perverse taste," Su Mingyu couldn't help but scoff.
"Who says it isn't?" the King of Yu said, but he was watching intently.
Su Mingyu rolled her eyes in her heart. The most perverse one is you!
Not long after, Mei Qing took the stage.
Today, Mei Qing only had delicate makeup on but didn't tie up her hair.
Her waist - length black hair was a refreshing sight. It was quite nice.
"Is this the girl that Miss Su likes?"
Su Mingyu nodded but didn't answer. She just shouted, "One hundred taels for sword - dancing."
After the previous two - hundred - tael offer, people weren't that surprised. They just nodded. After all, Mei Qing's sword - dancing last time was really unforgettable.
"Five hundred taels for sword - dancing," a clear voice spoke up. Everyone looked in the direction of Mo Wenyuan.
This lord had remained silent from the beginning. But as soon as he spoke, it was five hundred taels.
Su Mingyu frowned unhappily. "Is Brother Mo trying to compete with me for the right to choose the clothes?"
Mo Wenyuan's voice was low and carried a chilling coldness. "I can't agree with Brother Su's taste."
As soon as he said this, everyone thought of the blood - boiling outfit that Nian'er had worn.
Su Mingyu clearly thought of it too. She snorted. "It seems the rumor that Brother Mo likes Miss Mei Qing is true. You're so reluctant to let others look at her?"
On the stage, Mei Qing unconsciously looked up at Mo Wenyuan. For some reason, her heart started beating a bit faster.
Mo Wenyuan glanced at Su Mingyu sideways, noncommittal. "Will Brother Su raise the price?"
This provocation made Su Mingyu raise her hand without hesitation. "One thousand taels for sword - dancing."
As soon as Su Mingyu said this, the entire brothel erupted.
Spending one thousand taels just to buy the right for a brothel girl to choose her clothes.
This was truly staking a fortune!
Mo Wenyuan seemed to be caught off guard by Su Mingyu's high price. He looked at Su Mingyu sideways. Under his mask, his eyes glinted with a cold light, his emotions impossible to read.
