After Xiang Xueer finished speaking, she began to consider a plan in her heart: "There are quite a few girls who have been captured by the Black Dragon Saint Lord. To rescue them, we must enter this Underground City. The city gate opens once every three days, and we need a token to enter. So, the four of us still need at least one more token!"
Xiang Xueer took out the tokens she had found on two people. Li Yunyang frowned and asked, "Wait, we should actually be two tokens short for the four of us!"
Lan Ran Qingtian immediately understood Xiang Xueer's meaning and smiled, "Shirley doesn't need a token to enter; she just needs to pretend to be one of the captured girls!"
"Ah, I see!" Lian Cheng Xue exclaimed in realization. Xiang Xueer turned to Qingtian and smiled, pleased that they were on the same wavelength. This made Li Yunyang feel quite displeased.
"Big sister, if we can catch that Shape-shifting Monster, we should be able to get the token!" said Platypus. Hearing this, Xiang Xueer felt pressured: "Catching this guy seems a bit difficult!"
Just then, Guan Erniang rushed over from across the Yixiang Pavilion, looking anxious as she addressed the group: "Not good! The Peony went missing last night too. Losing two top performers at once is really going to ruin my business."
Looking at Guan Erniang, Xiang Xueer suddenly had a bright idea: "I have a plan! It can help you make a profit and quickly draw out the Shapeshifter. It's killing two birds with one stone!"
"Oh? What's the plan?" The others quickly gathered around her, their eyes wide with anticipation. With one hand on her hip, Xiang Xueer struck a pose, raised an eyebrow, and said with a smile, "Choose a courtesan."
"Choose a courtesan?" Guan Erniang blinked in confusion. "Heavens! My Yixiang Pavilion has lost two top performers. Where am I supposed to find someone to choose as a courtesan?"
After all this time posing was for nothing, Xiang Xueer pointed at herself: "Hey, I'm right here as a candidate!"
"You? No way! How could you possibly become a courtesan?" Li Yunyang exclaimed in shock as he looked her up and down. "Besides, you don't even have any curves. The only way you'd be chosen is if everyone else were blind!"
"Say that again if you dare!" Xiang Xueer glared at him with fierce eyes. The others quickly stepped back to avoid any potential bloodshed; this idiot was crossing a line that could get him killed by Xiang Xueer.
"No!" Guan Erniang narrowed her eyes as she assessed Xiang Xueer. She stepped closer and scrutinized her delicate features before circling around her: "Aside from being a bit young, your other qualities are quite good. Alright, it's settled—you're the one. Tomorrow night, you'll be chosen as the courtesan."
At the Vertical Sun, inside the Yixiang Pavilion,
Xiang Xueer was busy training for the evening's performance on stage. She clapped her hands to keep time while directing everyone in practicing their movements: "One two three four, two two three four, three two three four, change positions, let's do it again..."
Li Yunyang scratched his chin in confusion and asked, "Hey, what are they dancing to? Why are their legs moving up and down like that? Who are they pointing at with their fingers?"
Qingtian was even more puzzled: "Exactly, did you hear what Qian Duo Duo is singing? What does 'nobody' mean?"
Lian Cheng Xue pouted and sighed, "It's not just that. Look at the fruits and snacks on that little cart. What are they trying to do?"
"You ask me... who should I ask? Anyway, I think it's all quite strange!" Lian Cheng Xue turned around and saw Guan Erniang coming over with a pile of papers, handing them to several people: "Hurry up, Shirley said to distribute the flyers quickly!"
In the evening, Li Yunyang, Qingtian, and Lian Cheng Xue each held a large red poster and stuck it on the entrance of Yihong Courtyard. Suddenly, a large crowd gathered around, blocking the entrance completely.
A man stared at the poster for a long time: "Celebrating the opening of Yixiang Pavilion, the courtesan Xiang Xueer will perform tonight. All drinks and meals inside are free; entry fee is 100 taels, free for women!"
"100 taels?" A group of people gasped in shock, "What kind of courtesan charges 100 taels just to get in?" The crowd erupted in discussion.
Suddenly, Platypus pouted and smiled as he added a line at the end: "The highest bidder that night can spend a romantic night with the courtesan!"
"What? A... romantic night?" Li Yunyang jumped three feet high upon seeing this: "What kind of joke is this? She's my wife; how can..."
Seeing this, Lian Cheng Xue quickly covered his mouth to calm him down: "Brother Li, take it easy. Don't get angry; this is all for tonight's hunt for the Shape-shifting Monster. Miss Xueer said we need to put in enough effort to lure that guy out."
Even so, Li Yunyang still looked extremely displeased. This Dead Girl really knows how to pick a courtesan; it was infuriating.
Noticing the surrounding discussions, Platypus clapped his hands to quiet everyone down and gestured towards the second-floor balcony. The various beauties of Yixiang Pavilion were already dressed in bright clothes standing upstairs, smiling down at the crowd and waving continuously.
"Handsome guys, come quickly!" The beauties shouted in unison, instantly captivating the attention of many men. Before long, everyone was rushing into Yixiang Pavilion, nearly breaking down the threshold by nightfall.
By evening, Yixiang Pavilion was packed with people—wealthy young masters or high-ranking officials came to watch. Lian Cheng Xue and others hid in various corners, closely observing suspicious individuals.
Xiang Xueer was already dressed up, wearing a pink gauze skirt with long sleeves adorned with tassels, accentuating her curvaceous figure. The floral crown and the beautiful makeup complemented each other perfectly, making her look nothing like a woman from the brothel; instead, she appeared ethereal, like a fairy from a painting.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's such a waste not to be a courtesan!" Guan Erniang exclaimed as she stood aside admiring her. "Oh my, she looks just like I did when I was young."
"What a pity, though; her chest is a bit small!" After saying this, she shook her head and stared at Xiang Xueer's flat chest, laughing as she said, "No worries, I have a solution."
With that, she ran to the side and fiddled around for a while before taking an apple from the fruit platter. She cut it in half and wrapped it in cloth strips around Xiang Xueer's chest, with the clothing covering it completely so that it was not visible.
"What the hell! You actually put apples on me? I don't need any fakes!" Xiang Xueer stood there fuming. Her previous figure didn't require such tricks; she didn't even need padded bras.
Just as they were about to start, Li Yunyang pushed the door open and was immediately stunned by the sight of Xiang Xueer. Her stunning appearance left him dumbfounded.
"What’s wrong? Are you stunned?" Xiang Xueer proudly stepped forward, placing her hands on her waist and tilting his chin up. His eyes were fixated on her chest as she frowned and asked, "Where are you looking so lewdly?"
Li Yunyang's face turned red as he stared at Xiang Xueer's chest in shock and exclaimed, "You... weren't you flat-chested? How... how did it suddenly become so big?"
Damn it! She swung her fist toward his forehead, causing him to cry out in pain while covering his face. She turned around and opened the door; Lian Cheng Xue and Qingtian had already hidden around the stairs below, ready to begin.
She couldn't believe it; if all the lecherous men in the city were drawn here and that Shape-shifting Monster didn’t show up, she would be disappointed. After giving a knowing glance to the musicians downstairs, lively and upbeat music began to play. The show was finally about to start.
