《Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good》Chapter 21 B: First Time Visiting the Pleasure Quarters

The sound of her footsteps woke that fellow that was dozing off. He immediately stood up, speaking with hazy, sleepy eyes. "Sir, our Heavenly Dream Tower is still not open for business, yet. Will you please come back later?"
Luo Qing Luan took out a shiny white silver ingot and winked at him. "Really not doing business?"
That fellow saw this and his sleepiness disappeared completely as well as almost becoming cross-eyed. He promptly grabbed the silver while bowing and scraping. "Doing business, yes, doing business. This way please, Sir!" After he spoke, he led them forward, bringing Luo Qing Luan and Dai Ye inside.
It's really worthy of being the area's tallest and most luxurious structure. Even though it's only a courtesan house, luxury was clearly visible everywhere. Decorative openwork banisters, expensive orchids arranged all around. Light muslin cloths hanging from the roof even more intensely attract and draw out people's amorous feelings.
It's just that Luo Qing Luan wanted to see beautiful women, yet there's none to be seen.
"Where's everyone?" She asked that fellow.
"Sir, during the daytime, the young ladies are all resting. I'll help you call Mama Du first." The fellow departed with quick steps.
Not long later, a plump, buxom, charming and flirtatious woman with a plump behind descended the stairs.
It was clear that she came after hearing that a wealthy young master came. She waved a silk handkerchief and shouted out loud exaggeratedly from far away. "Aiya, this young sir, is this the first time that you've visited our Heavenly Dream Tower?"
Watching her approach, Dai Yue was scared stiff. "Young, Young Master, this doesn't seem like a place which serves food?"
Luo Qing Luan shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "It's fine. Delicious foods will arrive very quickly."

Mama Du swung her hips side to side as she she walked towards them still waving her silk handkerchief, as she directly sized Luo Qing Luan up and down, then chuckled. "Hes hee, what kind of young lady does this sir like? The young ladies in Heavenly Dream Tower are the best. Plump and curvy, or slender and willowy, quiet and elegant, or pretty and flirtatious, virtuous or foxy, those who can sing, or can dance, I guarantee that you'll be satisfied."
Luo Qing Luan also didn't say anything at first. She walked to a seat by the side and sat down. With a bang, she slapped a silver ingot worth five taels on the table and declared with a heroic spirit. "Have all of the young ladies you have in this establishment come out here. As long as I'm satisfied, money is not a problem."
"Aiyo, good. Sir, please wait, they're coming right away."
Mama Du's eyes shined in surprise. This felt like a wealthy young master had come? Seemed like it's his first time coming to Heavenly Dream Tower for some experience, and basically did not attach any importance to money so long as he was satisfied.
As far as a guest like that, she indeed welcomed them the most, so she quickly ordered the assistant standing by the side to go call the young ladies.
Once this was done, Mama Du again had someone quickly serve food, all kinds of good wine, as wells as fruits and pastries, arranged densely packed on the table. Dai Yue didn't care about anything. As long as there's food, she's happy. Luo Qing Luan told her to eat her fill, so Dai Yue beamed with joy as she ate with gusto.
"Tasty, delicious!" She picked up a piece of fermented soybean beef and ate it, so satisfied that her eyes narrowed.

"Enjoy your meal, there's much more." Luo Qing Luan watched the funny scene.
Mama Du called out to her politely, all of her attention was concentrated on Luo Qing Luan. "Young Sir, one look and I can tell that you came from an influential, wealthy family, a talent, outstandingly handsome. I wonder what is your name? Our Heavenly Dream Tower is the capital's biggest and best courtesan house. Our leading lady is actually last year's Queen of Flowers! When the ladies come in a bit, I'll certainly introduce them to you properly......"
She had not finished speaking when a burst of chittering chattering sounds already could be heard from upstairs. Luo Qing Luan saw a group of young women attired in every color, dressed up gorgeously and elegantly giggling and laughing as they descended the stairs. A flurry of fragrances hit her right in the face and the entire big room suddenly became unusually lively, brimming with laughter.
"Young Sir, this is the first time that I've met you. What is your name?"
"Turns out it's a young man, come, allow this older sister to kiss you."
"Young Master, greetings to you, this humble one is called Rich Fragrant. May I give you a toast......"
Over ten famous ladies rushed over and surrounded Luo Qing Luan completely. They also knew that a wealthy and respectable young master came today, one who was extravagant with money. They originally planned to take a break, but at this time, each and every one of them groomed and dressed themselves to rush over and curry favor with Luo Qing Luan. There were also some brazen ones, who even directly flirted with her.
Luo Qing Luan didn't know at all that on the fourth floor, inside a quiet and refined room, two young men were watching the situation downstairs. Even though it's somewhat rare for them to see an unfamiliar young man ask for the majority of young ladies within Heavenly Dream Tower the moment he arrived, they still felt that it wasn't excessive.
"Ziqing, look down there." Nangong Yu put down the wine cup in his hand and smiled. "I wonder which family that young fellow came from. Surprisingly, so young, yet already visiting the pleasure quarters. If the head of his house saw this, I'm afraid he would be furious."
Nalan Ye looked emotionless. It was impossible to tell what his state of mind was. "Isn't this the type you welcome the most? Sending you money and you're still not happy about it?"
Suddenly becoming spirited, Nangong Yu pondered. "How about......we take a guess. Guess how much money these ladies of mine can extract from his person today?"
Casting a glance at him, Nalan Ye didn't say anything, evidently not interested.
"Sigh, why are you like this? Can't we play a little?" Nangong Yu blurted out discontentedly, following which he looked again at the impenetrable encirclement downstairs before soliloquizing. "Heh heh, this little guy must have brought no small amount of money. If we don't suck him completely dry and clean today, wouldn't it downgrade our Heavenly Dream Tower's standing as a money squandering establishment?
He called a servant and instructed. "Go down and tell Mama Du to be more ruthless."
"Yes, Master."

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
