Bizarre Cultivation: Starting from Being Beaten Up by Reality

Chapter 113 Is my concubine a fox spirit? How could I not know?

Evening, wetlands.

A misty haze enveloped the entire wetland, making it seem like a dreamlike place, unlike anything in this world. The wetland's inhabitants disliked staying indoors, their eyes vacant, standing like statues all around.

Lin Fan put down the petty thief in his hand and said to Chen Ergou, "Ergou, you hired a petty thief as a middleman. Aren't you afraid of being tricked into joining a den of thieves?"

The teenager was the first to object. "Master, you can't say that. I was originally just an intermediary introducing the special master to someone else, but I've been struggling to make ends meet lately, so I've only been doing this side job occasionally. Besides, I'm in the business of collecting referral fees and stealing, not cheating people."

Lin Fan didn't believe such nonsense at all.

However, Chen Ergou chuckled and said, "Brother Fan, you're too nervous. This place is notorious for its thieves and prostitutes. Any man you pick is a thief, so what difference does it make who you pick? Those old ladies outside hanging loofahs are selling themselves too. Since it's your treat, I wanted to eat something nice too."

"Shut up!" Lin Fan pulled out his black knife and brandished it at the thief's face. "Kid, if you dare to try anything funny, I'll chop you up."

Upon seeing Lin Fan's knife, the teenager hurriedly took two steps back, waving his hands repeatedly and saying he dared not.

The teenager led the two through the winding wetlands, saying, "What kind of people do you two like? You can tell me."

Chen Ergou licked his lips. "Okay, okay, find me the best."

"Okay, I'll find you the smoothest ladle here, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. It might be a bit more expensive than others, but compared to those gold-plated ones in the city, it's a great deal."

"Brother Fan is treating today, so there's no need to save him money. Hey, you've put it so well, what if I'm not satisfied?"

The teenager chuckled, "Then let's change it until you're satisfied."

The two chatted and laughed, and the teenager told Chen Ergou many interesting stories about the relationship between prostitutes and their clients. Chen Ergou's laughter echoed in the wetlands.

Lin Fan felt extremely uncomfortable in this place. Bailin Village was also poor, but it wasn't like this. Everyone here seemed like a hungry wild beast, which made him very uncomfortable.

Finally arriving at their destination, the young boy called out towards the stilted house, "Sister, are you home? We've brought two gentlemen over for tea."

No sooner had the words left her lips than a graceful figure opened the door.

Chen Ergou's gaze was fixed on her and he couldn't look away.

The woman seemed to rarely go out; her skin was deathly pale, her features were regular, and she wore light makeup, but she was so thin she looked gaunt.

She wore a cheap, stained, short gauze skirt, her waist so slender it could be encircled by a single hand, revealing her snow-white shoulders and most of her back. Her appearance was exquisite, but she was so thin that she seemed as if a gust of wind could knock her over.

The woman's voice had a familiar magnetism, "You two gentlemen are new faces. Everyone calls me Third Sister. I've only been in this line of work for half a month, so please forgive me if I'm not thorough enough."

After saying this, Third Sister gave the two of them a graceful bow and turned to pour tea.

Chen Ergou naturally followed, but Lin Fan grabbed him. Lin Fan pointed to the woman's exposed back, which was covered with various red spots of different shapes. "Ergou, don't believe her. What do you mean by 'done it for half a month'? She's practically a biochemical mother!"

Er Gou was taken aback. "What mother body?"

Lin Fan lowered his voice, "I'm not a doctor, but I can tell she has venereal diseases, and more than one."

Er Gou snorted and disdainfully shoved Lin Fan aside, "Brother Fan, do you think I don't know whether my concubine is a fox spirit or not?"

"What are you talking about?"

Chen Ergou chuckled, "Brother Fan, I have far more experience in this area than you. You should be grateful to have such good stuff in a place like this. As for venereal diseases... even dying under a pomegranate skirt is a romantic death."

Lin Fan sighed. Why were all these people like this? Just when he felt he was starting to adapt to this place, these people would constantly remind him how out of place he was.

After pouring the tea, Third Sister turned to the two men and smiled, "Which gentleman would like to go first? Or together?"

Lin Fan pointed at Chen Ergou, "Just him, girl, let's agree on the price first to avoid disputes later."

Third Sister held up one finger, "I'll only charge you one hundred coins for tea."

Chen Ergou's lecherous expression suddenly turned ugly. "You want such a high price for this godforsaken place?"

But before he could finish speaking, Lin Fan had already taken out a string of coins and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "Hurry up and finish this so we can go back quickly."

Seeing Lin Fan's generosity, Third Sister's foxy eyes swept over him, and she reached out to touch Lin Fan's chest. "Master, if you give her another fifty coins, I will serve her too, so you won't have to go to another house."

Lin Fan subconsciously took two steps back. "No, I'm not in the mood today. I'm sorry, miss."

San Niang wanted to pull Lin Fan again, but Er Gou had already pulled her into the house.

Lin Fan's chest heaved slightly, and he felt suffocated. With the Soul-Suppressing Pearl present, he wasn't in too much pain, but he felt a heavy weight on his heart, an indescribable discomfort. He didn't even want to stay in the room, and no one came to drink the tea that Third Sister had poured.

Lin Fan stepped out of the house and sat on the stairs. He immediately smelled the damp, musty air of the wetlands. This awful place.

The teenager also came out and sat down next to Lin Fan, smiling obsequiously, "Master, Sun San Niang is truly the youngest and most beautiful woman here. How come you don't even like her? Or do you prefer older women?"

"No, leave me alone."

The boy's dark eyes darted around a few times. He had heard Lin Fan mention venereal disease earlier and immediately understood. "Oh, sir, I understand. You like clean women, right? There's everything in the wetlands, but clean women are hard to find."

The teenager pondered for a moment and said, "How about my sister? She's still a virgin. If you're willing to pay more..."

At this point, the young man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll bring her over for one tael of silver, or one string of cash."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan suddenly looked at the teenager beside him. The teenager thought Lin Fan thought he was asking for an exorbitant price and was about to say that the price was negotiable when Lin Fan suddenly asked, "What's your name? How old are you?"

The boy was at a loss for words, so he had no choice but to answer truthfully: "My name is Su Ran, and I am 13 years old."

"You, you're only 13 years old. How old is your sister? Wait, no, don't tell me, I don't want to know."

Su Ran was rendered speechless by Lin Fan's inexplicable reaction.

Lin Fan was really annoyed, so he casually said, "I'm not interested in women, don't bring it up again."

Su Ran looked Lin Fan up and down, her dark eyes fixed on him. "Master, I can do it too. I'm clean and look pretty good."
