Peony (1)

Peony Island is actually not an island.

It is a brothel located in Longyuan Royal City, one of the ten major royal cities in the world.

The most beautiful woman in Peony Island is Peony.

She always appears on stage, behind the screen.

Through the screen, people can only see a slender shadow, ten fingers flying on the piano.

The singing is melodious and graceful, which makes the listener fascinated.

People stared blankly from the audience and muttered, "What kind of beautiful face is behind the screen?" ”

Tao Yuan sat under the stage, drank and smiled: "Won't you just go up and take a look!" ”

"Huh!" Someone said disdainfully, "The peony girl sells her art and doesn't sell her body, how can you watch it if you want to?" ”

"Why don't you let people see it?" Tao Yuan got up with a wine glass, "I'm afraid it's an ugly woman, so I don't dare to let people look at it." ”

"Nonsense! That's a peony! How can it be an ugly woman! ”

"Why can't Peony be an ugly woman?"

"Hey! You're not a local, are you? ”

Tao Yuan was slightly stunned, but still smiled: "I'm a native!" I just don't stay here very often. ”

"Then it's no wonder...... Peony is not a person's name. It is an identity in Peony Island, which means, the most beautiful woman! ”

"Oh!" Tao Yuan suddenly realized, "So that's the case." ”

"Alas! It's just a pity that we have never heard her voice but not seen her, and we have never seen her true face! ”

"Oh? Then you have a blessed eye today. ”

Tao Yuan walked towards the stage.

In front of everyone's eyes, Tao Yuan jumped onto the stage.

Everyone exclaimed!

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the shadow behind the screen pressed the strings with both hands and said, "Go down, don't come up." ”

The voice is clear and bright, and the tone is flat.

Tao Yuan smiled: "Why can't you come up?" ”

"The rules of Peony Island." Peony Island, "If you dare to get drunk here, I'm going to ask you out." ”

There was already a hint of anger in her voice.

But Tao Yuan still smiled: "I'm not drunk yet...... I just want to see if the most beautiful woman in Peony Island deserves her name. ”

Peony didn't speak, and several other thugs had already come up to the stage and surrounded Tao Yuan.

"If this son is here to find happiness, there are many beauties in the audience for you to choose; If you're looking for trouble, we'll have to ask you out. ”

"Naturally, I'm here to be happy, and you're looking for trouble with me."

They took a step closer: "Please step down and speak." ”

Tao Yuan smiled: "My son wants to be happy, can you still stop me?" ”

An aura erupted from him and swept in all directions!

The thugs were pushed to the ground, and the screen was overturned!

An exclamation.

Tao Yuan followed the sound and saw a woman sitting in front of the piano.

The woman was dressed in a long red dress, like a blooming peony.

But Tao Yuan's brows suddenly furrowed - the woman's face was covered with a red veil, revealing only a pair of big eyes full of panic.

Tao Yuan was angry and funny: "Don't worry about having a screen in the way?" What kind of ugly face do you have? ”

Peony stood up, stepped back, and said angrily: "You are so bold! How dare you go wild here! ”

Tao Yuan took a step forward and said with a smile: "You have aroused my curiosity, I have to see what you look like today!" ”

As he spoke, he held out his hand.

"Don't!" Peony panicked, but her feet slipped inexplicably, and she fell backwards.

Tao Yuan's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward and took her into his arms.

Peony looked at the man who dared to hold him in his arms in shock, his eyes full of fear.

Tao Yuan smiled at her, she actually closed her eyes and screamed: "Help!" Help me! ”

"Bastard! Look for death! The thugs got up, roared angrily, and rushed towards Tao Yuan.

Tao Yuan glanced at them coldly, his palm spirit condensed, and he pushed it out with one palm!

An aura barrier came out of nowhere, blocking between Tao Yuan and a few thugs. They punched and kicked angrily, but they were never able to break through this invisible barrier.

Tao Yuan smiled slightly: "What is it, dare to do it with Young Master Ben?" ”

He looked down again, and the eyes in his arms looked at him in surprise at this time, glistening with tears.

Tao Yuan smiled: "Come!" Let Master Ben take a good look at you, what you look like! ”

He leaned his head down, gently bit down on the peony's veil, and ripped it off.

He turned his head to the other side, let go, and the veil fell lightly to the ground.

Peony's eyes were wide open in disbelief, and her mouth was slightly open.

But Tao Yuan looked at himself with a frown, up and down, back and forth several times.

Realizing that the man was looking at him recklessly, Peony finally recovered from her panic and changed her face to an angry expression.

She punched Tao Yuan in the chest and scolded, "Bastard! Let me go! ”

Tao Yuan straightened her body, took a step back, and withdrew his other hand.

Tao Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "It turns out that it's just like that." ”

The group of thugs rushed over and surrounded Tao Yuan. They looked furious, and they were ready to wait for the peony girl to give an order, and they were going to beat this bastard to death!

But Peony said: "You stand down, he is a cultivator, you are not his opponent." ”

Tao Yuan glanced at her, hugged his fists and smiled: "Peony girl, under Tao Yuan, fortunately, farewell." ”

But Peony said: "Stop!" ”

Tao Yuan stopped, turned around and smiled: "Is there anything else?" ”

Peony stepped forward and frowned: "You ran up to the stage for no reason to toss and make a mess here!" Want to leave now with a shake of your hands? ”

"Ah......" Tao Yuan smiled, "I said, I just want to see what you really look like." Now that I've seen it, I'm not leaving, what are I still doing here? Do you take care of the food? ”

Peony stomped his foot angrily: "Bastard! What did you just say! ”

Tao Yuan looked puzzled, pointed to himself, and said puzzledly: "Me? What did I say? ”

Peony gritted her teeth and said, "Don't think I didn't hear it!" You just saw my face and said! Originally! No! Pass! As! This! ”

"Uh......" Tao Yuan scratched his head, and his eyes were rolling everywhere.

"What do you mean!" Peony stood in front of Tao Yuan and said, "But that's it!" What is it! Meaning! ”

Tao Yuan thought about it, but he slurred: "But what does it mean...... In other words...... Not bad...... Not bad......"

Peony frowned, and she said unrelentingly: "Not bad?!" You make it clear to me! Why is it not bad! Why am I just okay? ”

Tao Yuan thought for a while: "Actually, you are very beautiful, very good...... But as for the figure...... It's a little bit worse......"

"What!" Peony was furious, "You said I was in poor shape? What's wrong with me?! ”

She struggled to puff up her chest and stood in front of Tao Yuan angrily: "Are you blind!" Is this also called bad? ”

At this time, Tao Yuan felt a little shy inexplicably, he blushed slightly, and then said, "That...... I'm not talking about this issue......"

Peony also suddenly realized that his actions at this time were inappropriate.

She quickly withdrew her chest and stood farther away from Tao, her face also red.

Tao Yuan scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "That...... I mean...... You're too short......"

Tao Yuan came closer, held Peony's head, and stuck it in front of him: "Look at you, you can only go to my chest!" ”

Peony raised his head and glared at Tao Yuan, a tall man who lowered his head slightly at this time, looking at himself with a sympathetic expression.

Are you really short? Not at all! Although he is not tall, he is definitely above the average height of a woman in the world! Although she does look petite in front of this big man, is this her fault?

Peony couldn't help but scold: "Bastard! Where am I short? I'm not short! Because you are tall yourself, you can say that I am short? ”

"Not really." Tao Yuan said seriously, "My senior sisters, they are all about the same height as me, and some are even taller than me!" ”

“......”

Tao Yuan squinted and touched her head again: "But short girls are also quite cute." ”

"Cute ......" Peony was stunned.

People praise her for being beautiful, beautiful, and versatile...... As for the adjective "cute", it is really not often heard.

Peony stood dumbfounded, looking at the man who was squinting and smiling at him; His hands ruffled his hair, but he didn't feel angry......

This is the first time this kind of experience.

She looked at Tao Yuan's eyes and couldn't help but be a little curious: "What is the origin of this person?" ”

She finally knocked away Tao Yuan's increasingly presumptuous hand on her head, and asked lightly, "Who are you?" ”

Tao Yuan smiled and said, "Your hair is so comfortable to the touch." ”

He put his hand in front of his nose and sniffed his fingers, which still smelled of her hair: "And it's very fragrant." ”

Peony's face was slightly red, but he glared at him: "Answer me." ”

Tao Yuan said: "I have already said it, my surname is Tao." ”

"Your surname is Tao?" Peony thought for a while, "Since you have the same surname as the Tao City Lord, you must be a son who is either rich or noble." ”

Tao Yuan smiled.

Peony frowned slightly and said, "But there are only a few sons surnamed Tao in this city, and I have been fortunate to see them, but it seems that I have never seen you." ”

Tao Yuan smiled: "Although I was born here, I have been practicing outside with my master, and I haven't stayed here for long. ”

"I see." Peony nodded, "That's true, if you live in Longyuan City for a long time, with your temper, Longyuan City doesn't know what it will be like from you!" ”

Tao Yuan laughed.

Peony blinked again and said, "But you only said that your surname is Tao, and you haven't told your name." ”

Tao Yuan smiled: "I only know that you are called Peony, but I don't know your real name." ”

Peony looked around and said a little shyly: "It's inconvenient here, I don't want too many people to know me." ”

Tao Yuan smiled: "Then where is it convenient?" ”

Peony lowered her head: "If you really want to know me...... Then wait for me here tonight. ”

"A word is a certainty, and it will not be seen or dispersed."

......

The news spread quickly: "The peony girl has started to pick up customers!" ”

Someone asked, "Really, fake!" Doesn't it mean that you don't sell your body when you sell your art! ”

"Hey! Don't say that! How can you raise your worth! This is what I saw with my own eyes, she made an appointment with a kid to spend the Spring Festival on Peony Island tonight! ”

"Oops! My peony! I really believed her nonsense! I don't care! I'm going too! I'm going to wrap up the peony girl tonight, and I can spend as much money as I want......"

The time is about to pass, and Peony Island is overcrowded at this time.

The men in the audience were almost crazy, and they held silver tickets in their hands: "I will also spend a good night with the peony girl tonight!" It costs as much money as you want! ”

Someone said: "Everyone, the rule of the peony girl is that once the time passes, you won't see anyone, please go back." ”

"Why! Why should that kid see her! We can't! ”

"That's it! It is! ”

"I'm going to see her too!"

......

Tao Yuan sat on the second floor, looking at the noisy crowd downstairs, he waved his hand lightly, and said lightly: "It's too noisy, clean up these people, don't bother me to make new friends." ”

"Yes."

A group of soldiers lined up in a neat line, and they rushed into Peony Island and stopped the group of men under the stage.

The commander said: "There is an order from the City Lord's Mansion that since Hai Shi, Peony Island will be closed, and no one will be allowed to enter!" Violators will be punished heavily! ”

Everyone was shocked: "The soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion, how could they come here?" ”

Everyone looked up at Tao Yuan on the second floor, the kid looked calm, and drank the wine slowly.

"That kid...... What the hell is ......?"

......

The candlelight is dim, and the atmosphere in the room is ambiguous. Peony poured a glass of wine and held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "We don't know each other, Peony respects Tao Gongzi with a glass." ”

Tao Yuan took the wine glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "I'm not here for peonies. ”

"Oh?" Peony's eyes brightened, "Then why are you here?" ”

"For you." Tao Yuan said, "Really you." ”

Peony smiled: "Then, before that, should you introduce yourself first?" Although, without you saying, I also guessed seven or eight points. ”

......

The second child of Longyuan City is back!

Tao City Lord's beloved son, that rare genius in a hundred years - Tao Yuan.

His reputation outside is already very loud, and he has done so many earth-shattering things! Not only the people of Longyuan City, but even several nearby cities, when it comes to Tao Yuan's name, everyone knows it, and no one knows it.

But this peerless genius who was making waves outside returned to his hometown, and the first earth-shattering thing he did was to use the city lord's army, requisition the largest brothel in the city, and occupy the top brand of Peony Island!

Typical gentleman!

Arrogant! Arrogant! Vile! It's disgraceful!

But it's enviable.

The Tao City Lord summoned Tao Yuan to the front and said, "You just came back, and there was such a big commotion. ”

Tao Yuan stood straight, bowing his head slightly.

City Lord Tao sat at the table, holding a teacup in his hand, and said slowly: "The matter between you and that woman has been spreading in the past few days. ”

Tao Yuan's heart tightened: "Father, I ......"

The Tao City Lord waved his hand: "It's just a woman, I don't bother to care." But don't be discouraged and delay your cultivation. You know, women are the most troublesome! ”

Tao Yuan frowned slightly, but still said, "The child understands." ”

"You're just having fun with her, aren't you?" The Tao City Lord raised his head, "You shouldn't have true feelings for her, right?" ”

"Father......" Tao Yuan frowned and said, "The child has known her for a while...... I think she's a really good girl......"

City Lord Tao's face changed, and he threw the teacup on the table with a clang.

"What do you want to say!"

"I ......" Tao Yuan lowered his head deeply, "I think, I should be in love with her......"

The Tao City Lord snorted coldly: "Now is not the time for you to fall in love!" Now that the foundation is firmly established, it is the stage for you to ascend! If you look for a woman, let's put it back. What's more, a woman in a green house ......"

Tao Yuan said: "Father! Although she was born in a Qinglou, she has always been a girl who is clear and jade, and she knows books and etiquette......"

The Tao City Lord said coldly: "Did you hear what I said? ”

Tao Yuan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head again: "The child will not waste his cultivation." ”

City Lord Tao nodded: "When you reach the right age, I will find you a good daughter-in-law." Fortunately, you have a deep aura, and if you combine with another woman with a deep aura, the offspring produced will definitely be a more gifted genius! In this way, my Longyuan City has a large number of talents, and I will definitely be able to carry it forward......"

Tao Yuan shouted: "Father! ”

City Lord Tao sighed and said impatiently, "What? ”

"Child...... The child thinks that the father does not have to worry too much about marrying a wife, and the child has his own decision......"

The atmosphere was silent, and no one spoke for half a while.

After a long time, the Tao City Lord said: "What do you mean, you don't have to worry about your affairs?" ”

"It's not!" Tao Yuan said, "The child means that when it comes to marrying a wife, in fact, the child has his own ideas......

"Oh?" The Tao City Lord smiled coldly, "What do you think? Tell me about it. ”

Tao Yuan was already sweating profusely, and he bowed his head and said, "Child...... In fact, with the peony girl, marriage has been discussed...... The child has promised to marry her......"

"Smack!"

The Tao City Lord slapped his palm on the table, which seemed to be patted on Tao Yuan's heart, causing the table and Tao Yuan's heart to tremble and mourn together.

"You're enough! Didn't you listen to a word of what I said earlier? First! You are not allowed to associate with any woman now! Second! Your future wife, Lao Tzu will help you choose! And! It can never be a Qinglou woman! ”

Tao Yuan knelt on the ground: "Dad! I'm already in love with peonies! I must marry her! ”

"Bastard!" The Tao City Lord's eyes were split, "You have a kind!" Say it again to Lao Tzu! ”

Tao Yuan said firmly: "I want to marry her!" ”

The Tao City Lord was almost mad: "The dignified Young City Lord of Longyuan City actually wants to marry a dusty woman!" Do you want to disgrace your fathers and fathers? You want me to hold my head up in front of the 800,000 people of Longyuan City! You're going to make me a joke among the many city lords! ”

The life in front of him didn't look like his father, or even like a person.

He was more like an angry lion, a raging flood, a terrible storm.

He was like a disaster.

Tao Yuan's catastrophe......
