A Prostitute

"You…." Li Mei was shocked to see the man standing there as she backed away. Her face paled slightly as she took a deep breath and controlled her emotions almost immediately.

"What are you doing here?" She asked coldly as her entire aura emitted dark emotions. If it were an ordinary person standing there, he would have started to tremble upon seeing such a cold guy standing there, staring at the latter with a dark expression on his face almost as if Li Chen wanted to kill someone.

Unfortunately, the one who was standing there was Cao Haoran, the man who had faced several martial artists during his training days and managed to defeat them all with ease. He wasn't at all disturbed by that cold aura.

Instead, in his heart, he felt that this person, looking cold and icy was merely a little adorable as a little kitten trying its best to show its claws. Cao Haoran quickly averted his eyes and coughed, saying, "I'll go…."

"But…." Before Li Mei could get a chance to ask something, the man had already disappeared without a trace, making her dumbfounded and stunned. She tilted her head and stared at the door, frowning.

Strange man. Just what the heck was he doing here in the first place?

She was about to turn around and close the door when the man returned with a stoned expression on his face as he said awkwardly, "I came to remind you that you must get ready early in the morning. You'll meet your instructor."

After throwing those words, he dashed away as if he were a frightened dog who was rushing away with his tail between his legs.

Li Mei looked coldly in that direction and averted her eyes, glancing at the bed. She sighed and walked toward it, softly touching the surface of the bed with her hands.

How long had it been since she got to sleep in such a soft bed?

Sure, from the perspective of an ordinary woman, even this kind of bed was harsh to their bodies since it was nothing but a wooden bed with a straw mattress lying over it. She had spent her days sleeping on the cold hard ground of the horse shed when she was still with the Li family.

When she was sold into the brothel, she was still given a cold, wooden bed because she was merely a learner and not some professional prostitute who could get special treatment by the landowner.

Thus, the fact that she got such a bed with a straw mattress at that….

She felt a little grateful for that prince. At the very least, there was something he did right after giving her a chance to become a soldier and lead an ordinary life.

While she was lying on the bed and the third prince was still sneaking up on the young 'man' from the outside, the fourth prince was also sneaking outside his house. But this time, he wasn't going outside with his third brother.

He sneaked out and rushed through the street using his martial arts as he finally ended up heading toward a brothel. It was the same brothel from where Li Mei had run away twice.

Just what was this fourth prince doing here anyway?

If someone saw this scene of him sneaking into the brothel in the middle of the night, they would change their minds about this youngest son of the royal family.

How could a royal be so shameless?

But Cao Liangjei did it, not only he didn't change his expression, but his face was full of traces of excitement and utter seriousness as he climbed up from one floor to another through the balcony. In one of the balconies, a couple was kissing one another, leaning against the railings. The girl was wearing improper clothing as her back was exposed to the moonlight, shining down upon her to make her look ethereal. Her entire face was full of blush as she kissed another man, a fat and greasy one at that, with a passionate heart.

Her lips moved about as she looked extremely enchanted while kissing. Her golden complexion looked even more beautiful under moonlight as one of the corners of her eyes was decorated with a teardrop mole, giving a finishing touch to her beauty.

Her lacy dress seemed to open from the side as the man's hand tried sneaking inside the outfit, getting closer and closer to her breasts. Just as he had thought he had succeeded, a sword suddenly burst out from nowhere and directly attacked his neck.

The fat man was so shocked that he didn't even have time to react as his blood spilled everywhere, especially on the girl leaning against the railings. He clutched his throat from where blood was spilled as he struggled to speak, but he couldn't. His entire body froze as he looked pale and finally fell on his knees, falling flat on the ground with his face plastered to the ground that was already pooled by traces of blood.

The woman, however, didn't seem surprised. She looked at the dead man coldly and wiped her face as she turned her face to the side, glancing at the man who barged in on her once again without even seeking her permission beforehand. "You're here again."

Cao Liangjei sneered and grabbed her hand that was already stained with blood. He looked at her in anger as he seemed exactly like a bull who had been angered to death.

"Why… Why would you do that?! I had already told you I'll get you out of here! Why don't you just wait for me?!"

The woman only looked up and suddenly gave out a chuckle. She leaned over and with her bloodstained finger, traced the young man's cheek softly. Even though her actions seemed romantic as even her soft breasts touched the man's chest brazenly, her expression looked cold and detached.

She said, "Your Highness, I have nothing to do with you. Why should I wait on you when I have a stomach to feed?" She leaned back as she looked up coldly. "It's not like a certain someone can help me in any way. If he had, I wouldn't have to sell my body again and again just to take care of my dear brother back home. You said you wanted to save me. Then why don't you start by changing this damned rule about demons?"
