33: Chapter 32: Genius Lanling, Massive Gold Coins!
Three hours later, the parade of Yuhua Pavilion could hardly move an inch, as it was surrounded by countless people, not just men, many women were also screaming at the posters.
Because, within the royal city, there were many people of various bloodlines and races, some of which are incredibly bold and open-minded, so they simply could not resist the kind of attire and makeup featured on the posters.
This unprecedented, provocative, and realistic poster instantly ignited all the men in the city’s hormones, completely overturning all the women’s perspectives on sexiness.
Yuhua Pavilion, Ye Xiaomao, this name had completely blown up, becoming a sensation.
At this moment, even though night had not yet fallen, even though Yuhua Pavilion had not yet opened its doors.
But Lanling knew that he had achieved a great success.
All he had to do was wait until the evening, and an endless tide of Gold Coins would flood towards him.
As night fell, the staff of Yuhua Pavilion, like the rest of the royal city, opened its doors and then hung new lanterns at the entrance.
But the moment they pushed open the door, they were almost scared to piss themselves.
The crowd outside was a vast sea of people, not just a few hundred or a few thousand, but tens of thousands of individuals.
Not just men, but women too.
As soon as Yuhua Pavilion opened its doors, the crowd surged in like a tidal wave.
“Where is Ye Xiaomao?
We want to see Ye Xiaomao!”
“Tonight, I want to be with Ye Xiaomao, no matter the cost.”
“I bid one Gold Coin.”
“I bid two Gold Coins.”
“I bid three Gold Coins…”
“I bid ten Gold Coins!”
Although Yuhua Pavilion was large, it was impossible to turn around with so many people suddenly arriving.
“Ye Xiaomao, Ye Xiaomao, Ye Xiaomao!”
Countless men were shouting Ye Xiaomao’s name.
Bao’er was almost going crazy with excitement, as her business had never been this good since she started.
At this time, a maid rushed over and screamed excitedly, “Mom, the price for Xiaoxian has been bid up to twenty Gold Coins.”
This price was already ten times the highest current rate in the royal city, equivalent to hundreds of thousands in renminbi.
However, this was normal.
In modern Earth, some people are willing to spend millions for a night with a star.
Immediately after, the maid rushed in again, screaming, “Someone has bid fifty Gold Coins now!”
Everyone present completely lost their minds, including Lanling himself.
He knew he would be successful, he knew it would be sensational, but he never imagined it would be to this extent.
It was too crazy, too exaggerated.
Bao’er then screamed, “Quick, quick, let the highest bidder come in, let Xiaomao accompany him.”
Lanling immediately stopped Bao’er, saying, “Absolutely not, this would be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
This price is irrational, besides, Ye Xiaoxian is not a virgin.”
Bao’er said weakly, “Xiaoxian is a virgin.”
Lanling was taken aback.
Ye Xiaoxian, who made flirtatious eyes at customers and acted in a fawning manner, was a virgin?
Bao’er said, “We planned to sell her first time for a high price, two Gold Coins, but we couldn’t make the sale, so she still has her virginity, especially since she’s only seventeen years old.”
Lanling said, “Then how does she earn three silver coins at a time?”
Bao’er gave him a look and said, “You’re the ancestor of the pleasure district, don’t you know how to entertain guests?”
Lanling said, “That’s even better.
Tonight, let’s have a grand auction for Xiaomao’s first time, no matter how high the price goes.
But starting tomorrow, Xiaomao will still only take one customer a day, and only charge five Gold Coins each time.”
Bao’er said, “Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
Xiaomao is so popular now, people are willing to bid ten Gold Coins, and she could take at least a dozen clients a day.”
Lanling said, “Fool, ever heard of scarcity?
We need to do hunger marketing.
Only take one customer a day to maintain the mystique, making men covet her even more, ensuring her value stays high.
If you take ten clients a day, in less than ten days, no one will want Xiaomao anymore.”
Bao’er’s eyes lit up instantly, and she said, “Young Master Suo Lun, you really are a genius.
But with dozens or hundreds of people wanting Xiaomao every day, how do we choose if we only take one customer?”
Lanling said, “Draw lots, it needs to be fair and just.
Of course, when a VIP comes, we will need to cheat.”
Bao’er said, “Isn’t that too much of a pity?
We could earn dozens of Gold Coins in a day, but now we can only make five.”
“Foolish,” Lanling said.
“Xiaomao will only take one client a day, but she can attend various events, accompany guests to high-class banquets.
For instance, if a large shop is opening, Xiaomao can be the guest of honor.
Or, if a VIP’s son is getting married, Xiaomao can attend the wedding celebration.
Bao’er’s eyes went wide, and she said with a trembling voice, “Young Master Suo Lun, you’re a genius.”
Lanling said, “Next, Xiaomao needs to gradually learn various talents, to move away from the line of entertaining clients.
This is how to make more money, to make her a star, not a courtesan.
Regarding her talent packaging, I will write it up in a book later and hand it to Manman.”
In the future, Yi Manman would be the chairperson of the Art Committee, in charge of managing the top belles of the royal city.
All Bao’er could do was nod vigorously.
Just at that moment, another maid rushed in, screaming, “Madam, madam, the people outside are going crazy!
If Xiaomao doesn’t come out soon, they’ll start smashing things.”
Bao’er said, “Go quickly, let Xiaomao out.”
Another maid rushed out saying, “Xiaoxian, no, Xiaomao is too nervous, her legs have gone weak, she’s too scared to come out.”
Lanling and Bao’er were completely speechless.
This Ye Xiaoxian, even after they had pushed her to such heights of fame, now found herself with jelly legs at the crucial moment.
Bao’er was really going insane, almost crying as she said, “Young Master Suo Lun, what do we do now?
If Xiaomao comes out looking timid and scared, her reputation will be ruined, and my Yuhua Pavilion will be smashed to pieces.”
“It’s alright, I’ll go,” Lanling said.
Then, he walked straight into the room and saw Ye Xiaomao sitting there, shaking uncontrollably, with lips turned white and limbs trembling.
I can’t control myself, I’m too nervous,” Ye Xiaomao nearly cried when she saw Suo Lun.
Lanling said, “It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, being nervous is normal.
How much can you usually drink?”
“Half a jin,” Ye Xiaomao said.
Lanling poured seven liang of alcohol and placed it in front of Xiao Mao, saying, “Drink it down.”
Without another word, Ye Xiaomao picked it up and drank it all in one go.
Her alcohol tolerance wasn’t great, but she was truly bold in her drinking.
After drinking, her cheeks instantly turned red, and her eyes instantly shone with light.
After a while, Lanling asked, “Still nervous?”
Ye Xiaomao stood up and shook her head, “Not nervous anymore.”
“What are those men outside?” Lanling asked.
“They are pigs, they are dogs, I’ll just fool them to my heart’s content,” Ye Xiaomao said.
Lanling asked, “Do you still remember the performance I taught you?”
“I remember,” Ye Xiaomao said.
Lanling asked, “And you remember what to do when you’re receiving guests later?”
“I remember, use whips and candles to torment them, use my nails to scratch at them,” Ye Xiaomao said.
“Good, that’s enough.
Go out, from now on the entire world is yours,” Lanling said, pushing Ye Xiaomao by the shoulders and nudging her forward.
The great hall and the streets outside of Yuhua Pavilion were surrounded inside and out by countless people.
These people’s hearts were filled with flames, staring at the large poster of Ye Xiaomao in the hall, desperately shouting her name, Ye Xiaomao, Ye Xiaomao.
But after waiting for a full half an hour, Ye Xiaomao had not appeared, and they were almost ready to smash things.
Just then, suddenly all the lights in the Yuhua Pavilion went out, plunging it into darkness.
“Now presenting, the Art Committee’s top-ranked beauty out of the city’s nineteen, Ye Xiaomao!” a voice came from the darkness.
Finally, the moment arrived, and a huge cheer erupted throughout the Yuhua Pavilion.
Then, everyone quieted down, holding their breath, waiting for Ye Xiaomao to appear.
A beam of light shone straight down, then two beams, three beams, four beams…
Finally, dozens of beams of light all converged, emitting an intensely bright glow, while everything else was in complete darkness.
Of course, there were no electric lights in this world, so all these beams were reflected by mirrors.
As everyone held their breath and did not blink, a woman, cat-like, stepped into the column of light.
Suddenly, the entire crowd erupted.
Ye Xiaomao, the center of attention, appeared.
She was exactly like the one in the poster, the same cat ears, the same explosive tight leather bustier, the same ultra-short skirt, the same fishnet stockings (made from beast tendons), the same high heels.
But what was different was that, under the spotlight, she was even more dazzling than on the poster, hotter and more captivating.
Especially since, behind her waist, there grew an almost real cat tail.
(In fact, it was the tail of a clouded leopard)
Then, under the spotlight, she walked towards the crowd with a cat-like gait, swaying seductively, her wild, arrogant eyes looking down on the men below.
An unprecedented fire-breathing modern lady, an unprecedented cat woman, under the radiance of countless beams of light, created an incomparable visual impact.
Instantly, all the men went mad, intoxicated.
Wearing such high heels, under the spotlight, walking such a model’s stride, that swaying curve was just too elegant, too sexy, too moving.
Without uttering a word, Ye Xiaomao walked gracefully to the end of the temporary T-stage, where a harpsichord waited.
She sat down in the sexiest pose, her tail still flicked up, and her slender fingers pressed on the keys.
Suddenly, the entire hall went completely silent.
A section of wonderfully beautiful, intensely passionate harpsichord music immediately rang out, piercing into everyone’s ears.
In such an atmosphere, even music that wasn’t pleasant to listen to would seem lovely, let alone the intense “Spanish Rhapsody” being played now.
Of course, although Ye Xiaomao’s piano skills were not bad, it was impossible to learn this piece in just half a day.
It was actually Lanling playing behind the scenes, while she was pretending.
And the piano-playing posture Lanling designed for her was completely modeled after Lady Gaga, utterly exaggerated and wildly outrageous, with her even lying on the piano when the music reached its climax, or kneeling on the chair, or rolling on top of the piano.
In short, with the intense music as backdrop, this wild cat nature was unleashed to its extreme.
Her sexy and fiery figure was also displayed to the fullest.
At the end of the performance, Ye Xiaomao let out a sharp “meow” towards the audience.
As if it were a wild cat ready to fight, or a horny night cat.
It was incredibly lifelike, incredibly rough.
Suddenly, the entire crowd completely lost their minds.
This was Ye Xiaomao’s only vocalization tonight, without a single word spoken, just this one catcall.
Following that, the first night of Ye Xiaomao was put up for auction bidding.
The whole scene went absolutely wild!
“I bid one hundred and fifty gold coins!”
“I bid one hundred and eighty gold coins!”
“I bid two hundred gold coins!”
