Chapter 522: Chapter 522

Yang Fan breezed through the challenges with surprising ease.

He was even a bit startled by his own result; nine times, no less. It seemed he truly had become the fabled expert of the bedchamber mentioned in whispers.

Previously, he had never done something this extreme, unaware of his own limits.

But he could distinctly feel that ever since his Inner Qi had transformed from a single thread into the yin and yang fish, his physique underwent a metamorphosis as well, with his abilities appearing to have tripled in strength.

When Yue He and Yue Li saw Yang Fan again, their eyes were filled with awe and astonishment.

"Mr. Yang, you’re the first person in our establishment to really complete all the challenges in one go," Yue He said, astonished, her mouth agape as if she could almost fit half a salted duck egg, her face resembling a giant exclamation mark.

Yang Fan, looking nonchalant, waved his hand and said, "Youthful vigor, you know. I think it was fine."

"I’m curious about the mysterious grand prize your store offers. What is it?"

"We’ve already notified the owner. She’s on her way," Yue He replied with a gentle smile. "What the grand prize is, we do not know. Only the owner herself is privy to that information."

"I see, so it really depends on what the owner has in mind, right?" said Yang Fan.

Having completed the nine challenges, even without the so-called grand prize, he felt relaxed and content, in a cheerful mood, very comfortable indeed.

This was a place that paid great attention to detail and service.

It made sense for her to set such a high threshold and charge such a steep price.

"Mr. Yang, please let us lead you to your room to rest," Yue Li said, gesturing invitingly with her hand.

Yang Fan’s gaze swept over the exquisite figures of Yue He and Yue Li and he teased, "Does your establishment have a tenth challenge by chance?"

Both Yue He and Yue Li shook their heads in unison, "There really isn’t one."

"Then which challenge do you two count as?" Yang Fan asked with a smile.

With a glint in her eyes, Yue He replied, "We are your attendants, Mr. Yang, accompanying you throughout your entire visit from the moment you enter to when you leave. If you wish, we are at your service at any time. It’s just... do you still have the energy to take on both of us now?"

"Do I look like I lack the strength, or the interest?" Yang Fan asked with raised eyebrows and a smile.

Yue He quickly explained, "I mean, we’re in no rush. You can take your time, Mr. Yang."

"Alright, then let’s take it slow," Yang Fan laughed.

As long as he understood, that was enough for him.

The accommodation was upstairs. The moment he opened the door, Yang Fan was struck once again by the notion that luxury does indeed come at a price.

It was a presidential suite.

A room of this caliber would cost thousands per night elsewhere.

The owner of this establishment had high demands for patrons, but she certainly invested a considerable amount.

Yue He and Yue Li helped Yang Fan change into a comfortable outfit and then prepared some tea for him.

"Mr. Yang, do you have any other special requests? Like the bedding, beverages, and so on?" Yue He asked.

Yang Fan lit a cigarette, sank into the sofa comfortably, and waved his hand dismissively.

If not for financial constraints, he really would have liked to stay here.

This place truly elevated indulgence to a whole new level.

Knock, knock, knock.

The door was suddenly knocked on.

"It must be our boss," Yue Li quickly walked over with small steps and opened the door.

Following that, a woman dressed in a white traditional-style blouse with a black horse-face skirt, her hair pinned up behind her head with a jade hairpin, walked in.

As Yue He and Yue Li were greeting their boss, Yang Fan’s expression turned blank.

Xiao... Liu?!

His brain seemed like it had been suddenly struck by a heavy blow, struggling to react.

The owner of this club was actually Xiao Liu!

The same Xiao Liu who had been threatened by Zhang Yulan and finally meekly bowed his head in submission?

"Brother Fanzi? Why is it you?!" Xiao Liu was also genuinely surprised to see Yang Fan.

Unable to believe it, Yang Fan asked, "This is your place?"

Xiao Liu hesitated, glancing at Yue He and Yue Li before saying, "You two go prepare some late-night snacks; I’ll have something simple with Mr. Yang."

Curiosity shining in her glossy black eyes, Yue He swiftly glanced between Yang Fan and her boss before responding sweetly, "All right, boss. Any particular dishes you need?"

"It’s up to Mr. Yang; I’m fine with anything," Xiao Liu said with a serious face and some authority.

Yang Fan said, "Bring me something spicy and some liquor."

"All right."

With a sweet response, Yue He left the room along with Yue Li.

Only then did Xiao Liu drop the stern boss facade, revealing a faint smile as he sat down on the round stool next to Yang Fan and said, "Brother Fanzi, this is Sister Yulan’s business. She can’t show her face, so it’s under my name. I’m just the face here; she’s the one calling the shots behind the scenes."

"To think it’s Yulan’s business, that’s... somewhat unbelievable," Yang Fan said in astonishment, "If that’s the case, this store must not have been operating for long, right?"

"This place has been around for a while, but it was just mediocre before," Xiao Liu explained, "After Yulan Sister negotiated the partnership with Diwu Ming, she began having ideas about this and eventually chose this location. Then we revamped the whole place, including cleaning up the floors above."

"Did you come up with all these projects on your own?" Yang Fan inquired.

Nodding, Xiao Liu replied, "Indeed, the two of us put our heads together. Rent here is outrageously expensive, and we’d be at a disadvantage if we did something similar to the fifth. That’s why we came up with the idea to filter our clientele, to create a truly high-end experience."

"After trial operations for a while, we found the results very good, so we settled on it—high standards not only ensure a stable clientele but also larger revenues. After all, clients worth millions aren’t short on money; they value prestige and genuine enjoyment."

"Today I came with Mr. Wei, and he holds this place in such high esteem, veiled in mystery. I had thought to myself that the owner must be a really powerful and influential big shot in Xin’an. Never expected it would turn out to be you two," Yang Fan remarked with a chuckle.

"Mr. Wei..." Xiao Liu pondered for a moment, then said, "Brother Fanzi, you mean Wei Jin, the fortune-teller, right?"

"Yes, that’s him."

"He is indeed something in Xin’an, connected to many big shots," Xiao Liu commented, "He must be one of our first batch of members here and has introduced quite a few significant figures as well."

"However, Sister Yulan should be considered a truly powerful and influential person in this part of Xin’an. There are rumors that Chen Zhong is about to rise in status, and Sister Yulan is very good at networking. Her status will inevitably become even higher."

"That’s true," Yang Fan nodded, "I just find it a bit hard to believe the two of you are running a club like this."

"Brother Fanzi, you’ve misunderstood one thing; it’s not the two of us running it, it’s Sister Yulan’s business; I’m just managing it," Xiao Liu clarified, "I’m essentially a salaried worker; I wouldn’t dare to blur those lines."
