A knock came at the door shortly after. The Lady of Thousand Flowers greeted her from outside, “Young Master Jia, may I come in?”

Ding Shuang said, “Please come in, host.”

The Thousand Flowers Pavilion Master entered the room and saw Nalan Yanran fast asleep on the bed. She whispered, “Young Master Jia, shall we move to another place to discuss this further? Let Madam Wei’er get some rest.”

Ding Shuang shook her head and said, “It’s alright, let’s talk here.”

Nalan Yanran was fast asleep. Firstly, she was really tired today, and secondly, she wasn’t in the mood to listen to Ding Shuang and the Thousand Flower Pavilion Master’s conversation. She had already figured it out: since things were already like this, as long as she could get through these ten days, she would be free.

The Lady of the Thousand Flowers whispered, “Young Master Jia’s skills in bed have greatly impressed the sisters. I have received many requests from my sisters who all wish to have a romantic encounter with Young Master Jia.”

Ding Shuang chuckled and asked, “Oh, OP, how many of you sisters are interested in adding me?”

The owner of Qianhua Pavilion also laughed, “The sisters who haven’t registered their names are too embarrassed to come to me, but more than eighty of the sisters who have registered their names want to try Young Master Jia’s skills. Among them is our Qianhua Pavilion’s top courtesan.”

Ding Shuang cheered. That’s over eighty experience points! Ding Shuang laughed, “Since you sisters are interested in me, I’ll gladly oblige. I just don’t know if I have enough money on me. Haha.”

The mistress of Qianhua Pavilion laughed at Ding Shuang and said, “Hehe, Young Master Jia is joking. These are all voluntary acts by the sisters, how could we accept your money? If you are willing, I will arrange it for you. You can come to Qianhua Pavilion every night.”

Ding Shuang nodded in agreement.

The Thousand Flowers Pavilion Master said, “Alright, I have conveyed the sisters’ requests. Now we will discuss serious matters with the young master. What are your plans for the remaining nine days?”

Ding Shuang thought for a moment and said, “Starting today, let’s spread the word that Qianhualou will have a wonderful performance from tomorrow morning until dinner time, and invite people from all over the city to watch. First-time viewers will have priority entry and it will be free.”

When Qianhua Louzhu heard that Ding Shuang was going to act all day, he asked in surprise, “Young Master Jia, can Madam Wei’er handle it?” According to the previous discussion, the next nine days would not be for Young Master Jia to have sex with Madam Wei’er. Qianhua Louzhu was worried about whether Madam Wei’er’s body could take it.

Ding Shuang laughed and said, “Don’t worry, Master. After all, not everyone is as skilled as me. Wei’er will have time to rest. By the way, also spread the word that there are only 20,000 free spots available. From now on, it will be charged, and the fee will be 50 gold coins.”

The Thousand Flowers Pavilion Master nodded, indicating there was no problem. Ding Shuang continued, “We must prioritize those 20,000 free spots. I don’t care who gets the free spots, but one person absolutely cannot have multiple spots!”

The Thousand Flowers Pavilion Master solemnly replied, “Young Master Jia, please rest assured that the Thousand Flowers Pavilion will never engage in favoritism or cheating, and guarantees that none of the 20,000 free spots will be duplicated. Furthermore, several of the sisters in the Thousand Flowers Pavilion possess photographic memories, ensuring that no one will be deceived.”

Ding Shuang nodded and said, “That’s excellent. I’ll leave the publicity and quality control to you, sir. I’ll take care of the rest. I’ll be watching from this room.”

The Lady of Thousand Flowers asked, “Young Master Jia, would you like me to arrange for a few of my sisters to serve you?”

Ding Shuang was speechless. “OP, you’ve really thought of everything!” Several sisters are here to serve me, so who’s going to fuck Nalan Yanran? Ding Shuang really hadn’t thought about finding anyone else to fuck Nalan Yanran; everything that followed was just her pretense.

Ding Shuang shook her head and said, “In this situation, I prefer to stay here alone and watch. I don’t want anyone to disturb me.”

The Thousand Flowers Pavilion Master said, “If the young master has any instructions, he can simply inform the sisters at the door.”

Ding Shuang said, “Alright, I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving now. Let Wei’er rest here. Please ask the host to find a few sisters to take care of her. When she wakes up, tell her to continue tomorrow morning. If she doesn’t want to stay here, that’s fine with her.”

The Thousand Flowers Pavilion Master said, “Young Master Jia, please rest assured, I will arrange everything. By the way, are you free tonight? That sister you promised before seems to be in a hurry. Hehe. If you are tired, I will help you decline.” The Thousand Flowers Pavilion Master covered her mouth and chuckled, as if to say that she would finish the date she had arranged, even if it was a tearful one.

Ding Shuang laughed and said, “No need, I’ll come tonight!” After saying that, Ding Shuang cupped his hands in farewell to the Thousand Flower Pavilion Master.

After Ding Shuang left, the Thousand Flower Pavilion Master looked at the sleeping Nalan Yanran on the bed, her face covered by a veil. This veil was an E-grade item; when worn, it made people feel as if they could clearly see Nalan Yanran’s appearance, yet couldn’t quite remember who she was. The Thousand Flower Pavilion Master only needed to remove the veil to see Nalan Yanran clearly on the bed.

The Thousand Flowers Pavilion Master didn’t lift Nalan Yanran’s veil. She was hesitant to gamble; if Ding Shuang had a backup plan, things would be troublesome. Besides, there was still time. Through observation over the next few days, she should be able to guess the identities of the two. The identity of Lady Wei’er in bed wasn’t the point; the true identity of Young Master Kato Taka was what mattered. She called two trusted sisters to help take care of Nalan Yanran.

After leaving Qianhualou, Ding Shuang still had some time before it was time to inflict the poison on Nalan Jie, so she went to the Mittel Auction House to commission some items from Ya Fei. The craftsmen at the Mittel Auction House were quite skilled; they had already prepared everything Ding Shuang needed before she left.

That evening, after Ding Shuang finished treating Nalan Jie’s poison, she changed her identity and went to Qianhua Brothel. Upon arriving, all the women there recognized Ding Shuang, and many unlicensed women clung to her, seeking her favors. Ding Shuang smiled and refused them all. One of the women led Ding Shuang to the room of the “Anal Sex Expert.” Ding Shuang knocked and entered, finding two people sitting inside.

The seated man stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Ding Shuang, and said, “Finally, Jia Shao! My name is Lan Tian. I’ve been listening to Sister Ju’er recount your heroic deeds!”

Ding Shuang returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, “Haha, I’ve also heard Young Master Lan’s profound theories!” He thought to himself, “Holy crap, the sister who got her sodomized is named Ju’er. What an amazing coincidence.”

Lan Tian laughed and said, “It’s nothing, nothing at all. I was just expressing my feelings at the time. Sister Ju’er said she wanted to try what it felt like to be penetrated by two people at the same time, so I came over immediately.”

Ju’er, who was standing to the side, said, “Young Master Lan, Young Master Jia, stop chatting, Ju’er can’t wait any longer.”

Seeing Ju’er’s anxious look, Ding Shuang and Lan Tian laughed and began to undress her. Once all three were naked, Ding Shuang stood in front of Ju’er, and Lan Tian stood behind her. Lan Tian said, “I’ve heard that Jia Shao has impressive stamina, and I myself pride myself on being quite good in bed. Shall we have a contest?”

Ding Shuang said, “Okay, whoever shoots first loses, how about that? And the loser pays for it this time, okay?”

Ju’er said, “Gentlemen, Ju’er will not accept money this time. The host was just joking when he mentioned adding money.”

Lan Tiandao said, “How about we have some kind of prize? The loser grants the winner one request?”

Ding Shuang replied, “No problem.”

Lan Tian picked up Ju’er from behind, his penis aimed at her anus. Ding Shuang also aimed his penis at Ju’er’s vagina, waiting for Lan Tian to say “start.”

Lan Tiandao asked, “Young Master Jia, you didn’t take your medicine before you came, did you?”

Ding Shuang chuckled and said, “Hehe, I never use that stuff. Did Young Master Lan eat it?”

Lan Tian said, “I… I wouldn’t stoop to using that kind of thing.”

At this moment, Ju’er, who was standing between the two, became really anxious and said, “Um~ Gentlemen~ Stop~ Stop talking~ Ju’er can’t stand it anymore~ Can you please interrupt me to talk~”

Lan Tian laughed and said, “Alright, I’ll count to three, two, one, and we’ll insert them together! Three, two, one!”

Ding Shuang and Lan Tian simultaneously penetrated Ju’er’s two orifices. The instantaneous depth caused Ju’er’s entire body to tense up, the pleasure making her feel as if she were in heaven. Ju’er let out a long moan, “Ah—Ju’er loves this feeling so much~”

Ding Shuang first pulled out, waiting for Lan Tian. As Lan Tian pulled out, Ding Shuang inserted himself. After a short while, the two were working together better and better, with Ju’er moaning repeatedly as they fucked her.

Half an hour passed, and Lan Tian’s complexion looked rather pale. He felt he was about to give up. Ding Shuang’s pace remained unchanged, making it impossible for him to stop or control himself. During this time, Ju’er had climaxed three or four times. Lan Tian knew Ju’er very well and knew that her vaginal walls would contract violently during each climax; he himself could only endure two before giving up. But Ding Shuang had already endured three or four.

At this point, Lan Tian had already admitted defeat, but the two had made a bet that whoever ejaculated first would lose, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere. During Ju’er’s fifth orgasm, Lan Tian finally couldn’t hold back and ejaculated into Ju’er’s anus, while Ding Shuang remained radiant. After Lan Tian finished ejaculating, he let Ding Shuang enjoy Ju’er alone.

Ding Shuang finally ejaculated inside Ju’er during her sixth orgasm. Ju’er, relentlessly fucked by the two men, rolled her eyes and fainted during her sixth orgasm. Ding Shuang carried Ju’er and gently placed her on the bed. Turning around, she saw Lan Tian staring at her with adoration, and her anus tightened instantly.

Damn it, this kid likes chrysanthemums, he’s not planning to fuck my chrysanthemum, is he? Ding Shuang misunderstood Lan Tian. Lan Tian turned to fuck chrysanthemums because he couldn’t stand the stimulation from Ju’er’s vagina during orgasm.

When Lan Tian saw Ding Shuang turn around, he said with an admiring look, “Young Master Jia! Please take me as your little brother! How about you teach me a few moves of your bedroom skills?” Lan Tian had lied to Ding Shuang before that he hadn’t taken drugs, but based on his years of experience in various brothels, he judged that Ding Shuang really hadn’t taken drugs.

Ding Shuang started getting dressed, saying as he did so, “Young Master Lan, it seems like I won the competition, but it feels like you’re the one making demands. Hehe. But your stamina is already quite good; I don’t need to teach you anything.” As an alchemist, how could Ding Shuang not know whether Lan Tian was taking drugs? He just hadn’t called him out on it at the time.

Lan Tian was immediately embarrassed and said, “Young Master Jia, I’m sorry. I lied to you before. I took aphrodisiacs, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to last that long. I was just too embarrassed to say it at the time, thinking I would tell you after I won and then void the bet.”

Ding Shuang laughed heartily; he was still an honest young man. Ding Shuang said, “Well, let me make a request first. How about I ask you to be my underling?”

Lan Tian looked at Ding Shuang in surprise, not expecting Ding Shuang to agree. He said happily, “Thank you, boss! I’m willing! I hope you can give me more guidance in the future.”

Ding Shuang was willing to take this underling for several reasons: first, he felt the man was kind-hearted and honest; second, he found him agreeable and had a good personality; and third, he wanted to have a follower to try out and experience what it was like to be a boss. Ding Shuang redeemed a “Bedroom Arts Manual” for 10,000 Transmigration Points in the system shop and gave it to Lan Tian.

Lan Tian took the booklet Ding Shuang handed him. The cover read “Learn to Swim with Me.” Curious, he flipped through a couple of pages, his eyes lighting up. It was a book of bedroom arts, teaching men how to improve their skills in bed! Lan Tian was deeply moved; his newly sworn brother already trusted him so much. Lan Tian reached for a jade pendant and handed it to Ding Shuang, saying, “Brother, this is my family’s token. Take it. If you need help, have someone bring this pendant to the Lan family to find me.”

Ding Shuang took the jade pendant and found it very familiar; the patterns on it were somewhat similar to those on the clothing of the Yunlan Sect. Ding Shuang asked, “Is this jade pendant related to the Yunlan Sect?”

Upon hearing Ding Shuang’s question, Lan Tian’s expression changed, and he said, “To be honest, boss, the Lan family did have connections with the Yunlan Sect in the past. However, it’s been too long, and no one remembers it anymore.”

Ding Shuang was very curious, as this was a plot point not found in the original novel. Ding Shuang asked, “Could you explain it in more detail?”

Lan Tian nodded and said, “The Yunlan Sect originally had two patriarchs, one surnamed Yun and the other surnamed Lan. Patriarch Yun was incredibly powerful, while Patriarch Lan was extremely wealthy. With the help of the Lan family, Patriarch Yun established the Yunlan Sect, and Patriarch Lan was on equal footing with him at the time. However, with each generation of sect leaders changing, the Lan family failed to produce a powerful figure and gradually lost its position within the Yunlan Sect. After Patriarch Yun passed away, the Yunlan Sect rapidly declined, mainly due to internal strife. The Lan family became a victim of this infighting.”

At this point, Lan Tian sighed, lowered his head, and continued, “Sigh, boss, let me tell you the truth. Even with this jade pendant, there’s not much the Lan family can do to help you. The Lan family has declined drastically; by my generation, I’m the only one left. And I’m useless; I’ve become addicted to prostitutes, and I’ve sold off many valuable items in the house to pay for them.”

Lan Tian glanced up at Ding Shuang, and seeing that Ding Shuang’s expression did not change, continued, “I learned the art of prolonging sexual intercourse so that I wouldn’t feel like I’m losing out every time.”

Ding Shuang chuckled. Hearing Ding Shuang laugh at him, Lan Tian’s face turned bright red, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Ding Shuang. Ding Shuang wasn’t mocking Lan Tian; rather, she thought this man was truly a peculiar character! On one hand, he knew that going to prostitutes was wasteful and wrong, but on the other hand, he couldn’t control himself and even tried to prolong the time to make himself feel like he wasn’t losing out. What a talent! Ding Shuang cast an appraisal spell on Lan Tian’s face, and his smile froze after seeing the information.

Lan Tian’s strength wasn’t high; he was only a three-star Dou Shi. However, he possessed a strange physique: a water-fire fusion body. Ding Shuang clicked on the detailed description of the water-fire fusion body and discovered that this physique was extremely powerful. It allowed him to freely cultivate either water or fire attribute techniques and switch between them at will. If he simultaneously cultivated two techniques of the same level and grade, his cultivation speed would double.

Ding Shuang glanced at Lan Tian and said, “Brother, do you even know how awesome you are?”

Lan Tian noticed that Ding Shuang hadn’t spoken for a while, so he looked up at her. He saw that Ding Shuang was sitting on the stool, frowning and deep in thought, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.

Ding Shuang was considering whether to actually take this underling under her. Such a powerful attribute would definitely be a huge asset if she nurtured him! However, Ding Shuang was worried, afraid that the underling she cultivated might rebel. After all, Ding Shuang had always relied on soul control to ensure that women who had had physical relations with him wouldn’t rebel; she had never tried to subdue others through her own personal charm.

Ding Shuang cursed himself inwardly! Damn it! Ding Shuang, you’re such a coward! You have the system’s cheat code, yet you’re still so timid! All you know how to do is bully girls with the “Manipulating Women’s Manual” and “Primordial Desire”? Can’t you be a man and face them head-on? Start by subduing Lan Tian, ​​what’s there to be afraid of! If he rebels, I’ll just beat him to death!

Ding Shuang made up his mind and immediately set to work, recruiting Lan Tian as his loyal follower! Just as Ding Shuang made up his mind, the system issued a mission.

“Mission issued: A powerful leader needs powerful underlings. Help Lan Tian advance to the rank of Dou Huang within two years. Mission reward: unlock loyalty data. Mission failure: Lan Tian instantly advances to the rank of Dou Zun and becomes the host’s enemy for life!”

Holy crap! If this fails, we’ll have one more Dou Zun enemy! This has to succeed! We have to feed him with medicine to make him a Dou Huang!

After reading the mission description, Ding Shuang looked up at Lan Tian and asked, “Brother, what attribute cultivation technique do you practice?”

When Lan Tian heard Ding Shuang call him “brother,” he didn’t react for a moment. He was stunned for a moment and then quickly said, “Oh, boss, I cultivate a wind attribute technique.”

Ding Shuang frowned and said, “Why do you cultivate wind-attribute techniques? That doesn’t match your attribute.”

Lan Tian asked in astonishment, “W-what? How come it doesn’t match? When my attribute was assessed, there were gusts of air rising upwards, along with a bit of mist. I am a wind attribute with a bit of water attribute.”

“What the hell is this ‘wind carrying water’? That’s just water vapor, okay?! There’s nothing we can do; the Jia Ma Empire is too remote, and the cultivation system here is underdeveloped. But this Lan Tian is quite impressive; he actually managed to reach the three-star Dou Shi level by cultivating wind-attribute techniques.”

Ding Shuang sighed and said, “Alas, brother. I am an alchemist. I just scanned your body with my soul power and discovered that you have a rare physique on the continent, a fusion of water and fire. You said you cultivate a wind-attribute technique, and now I know why you have such a strong urge to seduce women. Wind fuels fire, and the fire in your body has nowhere to vent, so you can only release it through women. In order to release the fire quickly, you naturally can’t last long.”

Lan Tian’s jaw dropped, speechless with shock! Holy crap! If what his elder brother said was true, then he’d been tricked all these years! Damn Yunlan Sect! Were you doing this on purpose?

Ding Shuang continued, “The person who helped you determine your attributes probably didn’t know about your constitution. Because this constitution does indeed resemble the wind and water elements.”

Lan Tian knew Ding Shuang was trying to comfort him, but he didn’t believe the Yunlan Sect wouldn’t know. He knew the Yunlan Sect was once a top sect on the continent!

Ding Shuang said, “Come find me here at this time tomorrow night, and I’ll help you solve your problem.”

Just as Lan Tian was at a loss, Ding Shuang surprisingly offered to help him solve the problem. Lan Tian was overjoyed and deeply admired his newly sworn brother! Lan Tian bowed deeply and said, “Boss, you are my forever boss! From now on, I will always follow your lead!”

Ding Shuang laughed and stood up, saying, “Remember, this time tomorrow, still at Qianhua Pavilion. Have one of the sisters take you to me.”

Lan Tiandao asked, “No problem, boss. What are you going to do now?”

Ding Shuang chuckled, “Go comfort the other sisters.”

Lan Tian stared blankly as Ding Shuang left. Was this boss reliable?
