Chapter 722: Chapter 721: A Song of the East Wind Shattered
"Haha, it’s actually a brothel!" Grayson Martin burst into laughter after hearing the explanation from the inn’s server.
At this moment, Yusuf Zuck’s face was filled with an indescribable expression. There were remnants of chrysanthemums, steam baths, hair washing, pedicures, oily massages, and even themed play? So, the person who opened the brothel must have come from the secular world, right?
Having spent several years in the Capital of the secular world himself, he knew that a place called "Heaven" had once existed there, although it was eventually shut down. This Heaven in the Sacred Dragon Dynasty Capital was clearly following the secular world’s blueprint!
"Brother Luo, are you interested in having some fun?" Grayson Martin suddenly asked with a smile.
"Oh? You’re interested?" Yusuf Zuck raised an eyebrow.
"Hehe, it’s always good to see the world, a little relaxation is justifiable!" Grayson Martin laughed heartily. "Let’s go, to Heaven!"
"Turns out you’re just pretending to be upright!" Yusuf Zuck finally understood; there were no true gentlemen here. Of course, the humans here didn’t think soliciting prostitutes was something to be ashamed of. They even dared to sleep with demons, so what’s visiting a chicken for?
"Then let’s go and see for ourselves." Yusuf Zuck was curious about who had opened Heaven. He was well aware that many people had entered the Dragon Gate World when the Dragon Gate Passage had opened a few years ago.
Not to mention Russ Trujillo and Felicity O’Brien from the Dragon Group or his own brothers, there were also the Han family from the Heavenly Kingdom with more than one hundred and eighty members entering, along with various martial artists from all corners of the land. The total number must have been around eight hundred, if not five hundred.
At that time, the Dragon Group didn’t restrict entry, anyone with a Dragon Gate Order could enter.
So, the person who started Heaven must be someone from the secular world.
The two wandered the streets of Capital City like tourists, finding it even more colorful than a few months ago, bustling with people doing business at night.
"Brother Luo, a few months ago, when you performed your ’Sword Flight to the Immortals’ and saved four demon cultivators, we in Cangmang Mountain were exhilarated. Capital City has always been a forbidden zone for demon cultivators, also the place they fear the most. If a demon cultivator appears in Capital City, they’d end up being sold on the streets for humans and demons alike," the demons from Cangmang Mountain knew about Yusuf Zuck’s deeds in Capital City, which he himself had talked about.
"At that time, seeing Sandy and the others in such a sorry state, I was impulsive and just saved them. I didn’t expect that my Treasure Sword could break the Trapped Dragon Ban of Capital City!" Yusuf Zuck shrugged.
"Right, besides Sandy and the others, there should have been one more, right? Who was the other one?" Grayson Martin suddenly asked.
Yusuf Zuck smiled and replied, "The other one has gone to do some work for me."
"Oh, we’ve reached the Painter’s Street, is that Heaven ahead? There are so many carriages outside!" The two conversed and arrived at Painter’s Street, where they could instantly see a courtyard as lively as a marketplace and brightly lit.
Outside the courtyard, more than a hundred carriages were parked, blocking half of the street, with a heavy flow of customers coming in and out.
Yusuf Zuck saw the signboard of Heaven, heard the familiar tunes coming from inside, which seemed to be the music of ’Smiling Proud Wanderer’, and damn, they even had ’Smiling in the Sea of Bitterness’.
"Interesting, very interesting, haha, let’s go in!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily, growing more and more curious about Heaven.
"’Smiling in the Sea of Bitterness’... This melody is so captivating, perfectly describing the jianghu of this world, the composer is truly talented!" Grayson Martin also grew more interested. Not to mention anything else, just this melody alone could attract all the wanderers in the jianghu.
Yusuf Zuck didn’t use Telekinesis to look around carelessly, as there were clearly many experts here, and he didn’t want to attract trouble for the time being.
The two entered the main hall of Heaven, where there were no greeters outside because it was too crowded to manage.
Upon entering the hall, they could look up to see the open second and third floors, with the building in a square shape, each floor featuring galleries. From the upper floors, one could see the main hall and hear the laughter, pig-slaughtering-like screams, and various other sounds—it was quite a chaotic scene.
"Yo, dear sirs, do you have a reservation? Without one, you might have to wait since all the ladies are occupied at the moment. Why don’t you gentlemen sit down and listen to some music, snack on some dry fruits, and have some tea?" A madam with half her face swollen came over with a handkerchief, smiling from ear to ear despite looking rather unsightly.
"Sure, we’ll listen to the music first. But who was it that beat you up like this?" Grayson Martin took out a Gold ticket worth a thousand gold and tossed it to the madam.
"Thank you for the tip," the madam giggled, not bothering to explain, and quickly pocketed the Gold ticket. As a veteran in such an establishment, getting beaten was commonplace, and she didn’t feel the need to explain anything to these two strangers.
Her significant other went to pull some strings, and it was uncertain if it would work out. If not, they would have to make a big sum tonight, otherwise, without Heaven, their future livelihoods would be in jeopardy.
Yusuf Zuck and Grayson Martin sat down with a smile as a waiter brought over a platter of nuts and tea. There was a stage in the hall, and a woman had just finished playing ’Smiling Proud Wanderer’. She then bowed slightly and said, "Next, I will perform a piece composed by our boss, ’Christopher Graham’. Thank you all for your appreciation."
The girl was quite pretty. After a slight bow, she gently began to pluck the strings of her pipa. As the sound of the instrument filled the air, she also started to sing:
By the window, a lamp of parting sorrow stands alone
Behind the door, I pretend you have yet to leave
Revisiting the old place under the full moon is even lonelier
The candle flame at midnight can’t bear to reproach me
A flask of wandering, hard to swallow after roaming the ends of the earth
After you left, warm wine and memories grow thin
Water flows east, how does time steal away
The flower blooms but once, yet I missed it
Who plays a tune of "Christopher Graham" on the pipa
See the childhood days on the peeling wall
...
...
"Great!" Grayson Martin suddenly slammed the table and shouted in praise.
The other patrons also banged the table and shouted their approval!
"Wow~" Grayson Martin pulled out a handful of gold tickets and threw them directly onto the stage.
"This song... this song, indeed it’s a melody from Heaven..."
"Pfft~" Yusuf Zuck spat out a mouthful of tea: "Big brother, you just threw about a hundred thousand gold!"
"Oh, that’s not enough? Here’s more!" Grayson Martin grabbed another handful of gold tickets and threw them onto the stage.
The other patrons were also throwing gold tickets, showering the young girl on stage.
Yusuf Zuck was stunned. Was Jay Chou’s song "Christopher Graham" really that good? If they were to hear "Nunchucks," would this crowd even understand it?
After "Christopher Graham" ended, the young girl on the stage must have earned at least a million, and the Mistress of Flowers couldn’t stop smiling.
"Next, I’ll present another song for everyone, ’Approximately In Winter’!" The girl bowed slightly, but as she was just about to start playing the pipa again, it suddenly dropped to the ground, and she rushed towards the door like the wind.
The Mistress of Flowers was taken aback for a moment and mechanically turned her head to look, then screamed out, "Fifth brother..." and also rushed over.
All the patrons were curious about what had happened.
Outside, where the crowds thronged the entrance, a makeshift stretcher crafted from bamboo mats was carried in, dripping with blood, and on it lay a bloodied person!
"Hmm?" Yusuf Zuck also curiously turned to look when suddenly his eyebrows fiercely raised.
