Chapter 6 The Trade

The night was deep and the moon was cold with few stars. On Chenyue Island, every night, beautiful music filled the air,

lights shone everywhere, and singing and dancing filled the air.

Evenings were the busiest time for the Heaven on Earth establishment. After nightfall, painted boats shuttled back and forth on

Yinyue Lake, and people thronged the bridges. Groups of noblewomen entered and left Chenyue Island, their graceful figures a source of envy for the men

who stood around the lake, gazing longingly at Chenyue Island in the distance.

Liuxiang Pavilion and Heaven on Earth were the two most famous brothels in the capital. If Liuxiang Pavilion was

a den of ecstasy for men, then Heaven on Earth was a paradise for noblewomen. Both were places of extravagance

, the former profiting from men, the latter from women—different paths leading to the same goal.

In the dead of night, in a private room of Heaven on Earth, melodious music filled the air. On a large chair,

a stunningly beautiful woman reclined languidly. This beautiful woman was elegant and noble, exuding an air of nobility. She wore a long, flowing, pale

gold dress that draped to the floor above her seat, revealing her bare shoulders and skin as smooth as jade, white as snow.

Her delicate face was lightly powdered, and a hint of allure flickered in her eyes.

She was none other than Madam Yaoyu, the proprietress of Heaven on Earth.

On the table before her were various fruits and pastries. In the hall ahead, five alluring

young women dressed in sheer gauze danced to the accompaniment of music, their graceful movements revealing glimpses of their beautiful bodies beneath the sheer fabric, their breasts and

hips undulating, a sight to behold.

Madam Yaoyu enjoyed the fruits and pastries while admiring the five young women's dance,

finding it a delightful spectacle .

Just as Madam Yaoyu was engrossed in the performance, the door to the private room opened, and Xu Erniang, the head steward of Heaven on Earth, entered

. She quickly approached Madam Yaoyu and whispered something in her ear.

"What? He's here!"

Upon hearing Xu Erniang's words, Madam Yaoyu's expression changed. She quickly sat up, her expression grave.

She waved hand and said, "All of you, leave!"

The five dancers stopped and followed the accompanying musicians out of the room. In an instant,

only Madam Yaoyu and Xu Erniang remained in the room.

Madam Yaoyu's expression was solemn. After pondering for a while, she said to Xu Erniang, "Go and invite them in!"

"Yes!"

Xu Erniang replied, but she stood still, hesitant.

Lady Yaoyu was taken aback and frowned, asking, "What's wrong?"

Xu Erniang hesitated, then said, "Madam! The Azure Dragon Prince and his men came to see you late at night. What is their purpose?

I'm worried they might harm you. Should I make some arrangements to avoid being caught off guard?"

Lady Yaoyu waved her hand dismissively, saying, "No need! I am the head of the Golden Robe Hall of the Heavenly God Palace. I doubt the Azure Dragon Prince, no

matter how presumptuous, would dare do anything to me."

She paused, then sneered, "This time, the Azure Dragon Prince came to the capital of the Divine Eagle Empire to offer birthday greetings to the Divine Eagle Empress Dowager and

challenged the young masters of the Divine Eagle Empire. The result was heavy losses, including the deaths of the Three Asura Heroes. Hmph! If I'm

not mistaken, he came to demand an explanation from me!"

"To demand an explanation?"

Xu Erniang asked, puzzled, "What crime did you commit, Madam? What does the death of the Three Asura Heroes have to do with you? They were

simply unskilled and failed their challenge!"

"Of course there's a connection!"

Madam Yaoyu sneered. "Although our Golden Robe Hall is a branch of the Heavenly God Palace,

the intelligence we collect and transmit back to the Asura Empire is indirectly passed on to the Asura Empire's intelligence department. In the capital of the Divine Eagle Empire, Wu Wudi

knows we are an intelligence agency, but he's wary of the Heavenly God Palace's power behind us, so he doesn't target us. But

he has no such scruples when it comes to the Asura Empire's military intelligence personnel. Wu Wudi kills them one by one, and even

those he doesn't discover, who manage to infiltrate the capital, gather limited intelligence that isn't of much value.

Therefore, whether it's the Asura Empire's military or the Asura royal family, if they want to understand the Divine Eagle Empire's movements,

they have to buy intelligence from our Heavenly God Palace!"

"Such a thing!"

Xu Erniang exclaimed in surprise, then suddenly understood. "The Azure Dragon Prince has come to question you, Madam, about why you didn't

send the information about Wu Tianjiao back to the country?"

Madam Yaoyu nodded, frowning. "I'm worried about whether he knows about my affair with Wu Tianjiao. If

he does, that would be terrible! Anyway, things have come to this point; whether it's a blessing or a curse, there's no escaping it. Go and invite

them in. No one is allowed to enter without my order!"

"Yes!"

Xu Erniang agreed and left the room.

A moment later, light footsteps sounded outside the room. Led by Xu Erniang, a man and a woman

entered .

The first was a middle-aged man of about forty, wearing a light blue brocade robe and a fur hat. His face was pale,

with a faint bluish-gray tinge. It was none other than the Azure Dragon Prince.

The woman who had accompanied the Azure Dragon Prince to Heaven and Earth was none other than Princess Zhuque.

Upon seeing the Azure Dragon Prince's arrival, Lady Yaoyu stepped forward slowly, bowed slightly, and said, "

Jin Ruyu, the head of the Golden Robe Hall under the Heavenly God Palace, greets Your Highness! Your Highness's esteemed presence is an honor; I

, Ruyu, have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me!" "Head of the Golden Robe Hall is too kind. It is we who have disturbed you by coming here so abruptly! How dare we! How dare we!"

The Azure Dragon Prince bowed slightly and smiled. After exchanging greetings, both sides took their seats as host and guest. After the maids served tea, they all withdrew. Only Lady Yaoyu, Xu Erniang, the Azure Dragon Prince, and Princess Zhuque

remained in the room . Xu Erniang and Princess Zhuque did not sit down, but stood beside Lady Yaoyu and the Azure Dragon Prince, respectively. 　　Lady Yaoyu glanced at the Azure Dragon Prince briefly, then looked at Princess Zhuque. Lady Yaoyu had never met Princess Zhuque , and she had not gone to the Golden Eagle Tower last night, so she did not recognize Princess Zhuque. She was dressed in a vibrant, multicolored outfit, draped in a dark red cloak. Her elegant and exquisite face was striking; her smooth, fair skin radiated a noble and refined air. 　　Beneath her long, arched eyebrows, her phoenix eyes were bright and captivating, brimming with a sharp, almost menacing aura. Her delicate nose was refined and well-defined, conveying a sense of independence, strength, and unwavering resolve. Her full, red, diamond-shaped lips were alluring and graceful.

What was even more enviable and alluring was her devilishly stunning figure. Her loose-fitting, multicolored leather outfit perfectly accentuated her

tall, well-proportioned, and athletic physique—slender yet voluptuous, with undulating curves, a

slender , exuding a unique blend of strength and grace.

Lady Yaoyu didn't recognize Princess Zhuque, but she guessed that the beautiful woman before her was Princess Zhuque.

The thought of her fighting to a draw with Wu Tianjiao at the Golden Eagle Tower sent a chill down her spine.

Lady Yaoyu was sizing up Princess Zhuque, and Princess Zhuque was also sizing up Lady Yaoyu.

Lady , exuding charm and allure. Her brows held an arrogant coldness, yet her very being possessed an indescribable seductive allure. Few

men could resist her allure.

"And this is…" Lady Yaoyu smiled at Princess Zhuque, "If I'm not mistaken,

this must be Her Highness Princess Zhuque?"

Crown Prince Qinglong nodded slightly and smiled, "Madam has keen eyes; you guessed right away

!

Indeed, she is Qinglong's cousin, Shura Zhuque!" "I've heard so much about you!"

Lady Yaoyu chuckled, her beautiful eyes darting around, "I heard that Miss Yan Rubing has also come to the capital. Why

didn't she come with you?"

"Miss Rubing and Zhuque spent the whole day sightseeing in the capital today and are a little tired. They are resting at the inn, so they

didn't come!"

Crown Prince Qinglong said with a smile, then paused, changing the subject directly, "Madam! Qinglong

has come today to discuss a business deal with you!"

"Business?"

Lady Yaoyu was startled, but her jade-like face remained calm and composed as she smiled, "I wonder what kind of business Your Highness wishes to discuss with

me ?"

Suddenly, the Azure Dragon Prince coughed violently, quickly pulling out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, but the coughing continued

, his face turning extremely pale.

Lady Yaoyu was taken aback, frowning, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"

The Azure Dragon Prince waved his hand, finally stopping his coughing after a long while, and sighed, saying, "

I caught , but it's nothing serious!"

"A cold!"

Lady Yaoyu was dismissive. With the Azure Dragon Prince's internal energy cultivation, how could he fear a cold? However, judging from the Azure Dragon

Prince's complexion, he was indeed not well. His eyes were filled with melancholy, and his face showed a desolate and bitter expression,

giving the impression of a hero weakened and at his wit's end.

Seeing the Azure Dragon Prince's sorrowful expression, Lady Yaoyu couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. She sighed inwardly. Last night at

the Golden Eagle Tower, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xuanhe announced the marriages of Wu Tianjiao and the Xiao sisters, among others. The Azure Dragon Prince

must be heartbroken to learn that his beloved had married another.

Lady Yaoyu deeply understood his feelings. When she learned of Wu Tianjiao's impending

marriage to the Xiao sisters, her own emotions were incredibly complex. She dared not hope that Wu Tianjiao would marry her, or give her a

proper status . But to watch her beloved marry four other women—and remain unmoved—

was simply impossible.

What woman doesn't want to marry the one she loves, legitimately and openly? Lady Yaoyu was no exception. Given her

status , she feared she would never be able to be with Wu Tianjiao legitimately in this lifetime. She only hoped that Wu Tianjiao wouldn't forget

her and would visit her occasionally; that would be enough for her. However, what comforted Lady Yaoyu

was that at least she and Wu Tianjiao had a daughter; perhaps their daughter was the greatest guarantee between them.

The Azure Dragon Crown Prince coughed for a while, put away his handkerchief, and smiled, "Madam! I've come here to

do business with you. I want to buy someone's head!"

"A head!"

Lady Yaoyu's heart tightened instantly, her pupils contracted, and her brows furrowed. "I wonder… whose head does Your Highness

wish to buy ?"

The Azure Dragon Crown Prince didn't answer, but glanced at Princess Zhuque beside him. Princess Zhuque understood, took out a brocade box from her person

, stepped forward, placed it on the table in front of Lady Yaoyu, and then returned to her original position.

*Ahem!* Crown Prince Qinglong coughed twice and pointed to the brocade box on the table with his right hand, saying, "Madam! Inside the box are

gold notes worth three million gold coins!"

"Three million!"

Madam Yaoyu's heart skipped a beat, thinking to herself, "He... really intends to kill Wu Tianjiao?"

Thinking this, she calmly said, "I wonder whose head could be worth three million? This person truly deserves Your Highness's

high regard!"

Crown Prince Qinglong smiled slightly and said, "These three million gold notes are just a deposit. After the deed is done, Qinglong will

pay another seven million!"

"What?"

Even Madam Yaoyu, with her worldly experience and cold heart, couldn't help but be moved. A three million deposit, plus another seven million after the deed

, totaling ten million—whose head could be so valuable? Worthy of

such a large sum from Crown Prince Qinglong? Wu Tianjiao? He couldn't possibly be worth ten million?
