Chapter 19
But it's just a stone's throw away.

The surroundings were as silent as death, and the breathing of the kneeling boatmen on the deck could be heard desperately suppressed.

For a long time.

Huangfuyi finally opened his mouth to break the dead silence, he asked the boat boss coldly: "What are these things used for and where are they going to be sent?"

"Qi, Qi, my lord, I'm sending you to Qianjiao Tower." Having said this, the boss of the boat turned his head to look at a middle-aged man in brown clothes who was kneeling next to him.

The middle-aged man in brown clothes: "His Royal Highness, the young one is the steward of Qianjiaolou. The building has just bought a group of nobles. The things in this box are for those nobles to dress up."

Qianjiaolou is a brothel, well-known in Tianhuang City.

At this moment, the sound of water came from the other side of the stern, the sound of water was extremely soft and inaudible, but it did not escape Huangfuyi's ears.His eyes sharpened, and people passed by like a gust of wind.

The surface of the water swayed slightly, as if there were tiny ripples spreading out.

Huangfuyi stretched out his arms, his five fingers bent into claws, amidst the sound of splashing water, a half-foot-long river fish rose into the air from the water, and he held it in his palm.

"Crack!" The fish in the palm was thrown into the water violently.

……

Shui Qianxun had capsized into the boat next to the cargo ship.

The time to maintain invisibility is too long, she can't spend it like Huangfuyi anymore, otherwise, when her mental power is exhausted, not only will she not be able to invisibility, but she will also be as weak as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and it will be even more difficult to escape.

"Don't make a sound, this is for you..." Shui Qianxun spread her palm in front of the boat lady, and the pearl in her palm was shining brightly.

In the dark and narrow cabin, the boat lady with rolled trouser legs, bare feet and heavy makeup, her panicked eyes lit up the moment she saw the pearl.

The scream that was about to rush out of the throat was also swallowed back abruptly.

There is a red lantern hanging on the bow of this small boat.One boat and one person travel to and from the Jinxian River. On the surface, they pick up and drop off guests, but they also do business in the dark.

Such hard work is only enough to maintain food and clothing, and the money she has earned through ten years of hard work may not be able to buy this pearl.

Shui Qianxun rolled his black eyes, and he had a panoramic view of the environment in the cabin. The smell of inferior makeup powder, the gaudy bedding directly spread on the deck, and the tulle apron thrown beside it...

She immediately guessed the boat lady's occupation, her plump red lips were slightly pursed, and she smiled cutely: "If you have money, you can make more money. If you don't have money, you can only work hard to earn hard money."

The boat lady suddenly felt sorry for her, she nodded involuntarily: "One boat and one phoenix like ours, the guests they pick up are poor coolies who don't have much money and are rude."

"With this pearl, you can change to a bigger boat, buy a few girls who know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, wear well-cut dresses, and use exquisite makeup and hairpins to chat more and go to bed less."

"Ah, how can this work? Isn't it necessary for the guests to be served comfortably?" The boat lady was puzzled.

"Do you know what it means to play hard to get? The higher the appetite of the customers, the faster the money will come." Although Shui Qianxun has never run a brothel, but when it comes to business methods, she will definitely kill the boat lady.

The boat lady nodded endlessly.

There seemed to be wind blowing over the ship.

Shui Qianxun shook the pearl towards the boat mother, then pressed her body against the bulkhead and disappeared instantly.Fortunately, her sudden appearance had already mentally prepared Chuanniang, and that precious pearl also strengthened Chuanniang's courage.

The cabin curtain was lifted, and the boat lady habitually smiled and looked at the person who came.

Meixiao suddenly condensed on her face, and Chuanniang couldn't help shivering, but her gaze became more and more obsessed, and she couldn't bear to look away no matter what.

The man was tall and stooped to stand at the cabin door. The sunlight shone from behind him, plating a golden border on his black clothes and black hair. The outside of the cabin was extremely bright, while the inside was dark. Between them, it looks like a black ice lotus.
