Every big city always has places like this. They are inconspicuous, but they are also the most indispensable. They give people a dirty feeling, yet they have existed alongside human society from beginning to end.
People in this world do not prohibit the existence of prostitutes, but they are not the kind that can exist in broad daylight. Some nobles and prominent figures would not want to be associated with such people. Therefore, places like Mole Forest emerged. If you come here during the day, it is just a rundown village. It is desolate, lacking people, like a forgotten place.
However, at night, it becomes the liveliest and most prosperous place in the whole world. Women engaged in indescribable professions dress up flamboyantly and greet their customers. Laughter and joy fill the air.
Tonight, Mole Forest seems especially lively. Probably because the Crown Battlefield has finally ended, some people have found a reason to celebrate and come here to indulge themselves.
Carriages with concealed family crests park in the farm outside Mole Village. Coachmen gather to start gambling games and drink a little wine, waiting for their masters to finish their merrymaking.
The moonlight is thick, and the sky is full of stars.
At this moment, a flock of bats suddenly flutters out from the farm and flies into the dense forest. The bats look ordinary, but they are very rare here. However, those busy soliciting customers or waiting for pleasure pay little attention.
The bats scatter, moving silently between trees and houses.
Then, three people appear in Mole Forest. They walk along the messy path towards the inside.
The three are a bit strange. The oddity is that two of them are very short but have big beards. Having beards is not strange, but judging from their faces, they are not very old. Their skin is fair and tender, not like rough men who would grow big beards.
The courtesans here are all experienced. They quickly notice that the two bearded short men are actually men dressed as women. The conspicuous big beards are a bit too obvious.
However, having seen some young masters disguise themselves out of shyness to visit here, they find it novel that women are disguising to come here. This amuses some sisters without customers, and they invite them to rest in their rooms.
The three obviously lack experience. They seem very flustered, keeping their heads down as they walk forward.
These three are naturally Green, and the disguised Debbie and Guni. However, the two girls’ bodies are too petite. Although Ye Chui thinks they have talent for dressing as men, they did not use it well. The big beard look is awkward no matter how you see it.
Never mind, it is not important anyway.
“If Bosley knows I came to this place, she will definitely be angry.” Green quietly glances at the girls on both sides, while keeping his head down shyly. Because this operation involves the church, Ye Chui did not let Bosley know.
“These women are so bold, shameless.” Debbie’s little face under the big beard is full of blush. Although the girl is now a full-fledged adventurer, coming to this place is her first time. Besides novelty, there is endless panic.
Guni, with her naturally bold personality, is much calmer than Debbie. Her big eyes curiously look left and right. When passing a house with the door half-closed, she tiptoes to peek inside, but Debbie quickly covers her eyes and pulls her away.
The three occasionally look up and see bats flying over treetops and eaves.
Finally, they arrive at the tallest house in the deepest part of Mole Forest. This house is much grander than the others, like a small castle. If other houses are like cheap salons, this is a high-end club level. It is called Dome Palace, claiming to have the best prostitutes in the entire Star Empire.
No girls stand outside. Instead, there are several fierce-looking guards to prevent troublemakers.
When Green and the others arrive, the guards glance at them and smile at each other. They recognize that two of them are girls disguised as men. A guard with a fierce face steps forward amused and says, “What do I see? Young masters, do you want to go inside and play? The consumption here is not low.”
“Money is not a problem. How much to enter?” Green asks hurriedly.
Before he answers, a fat customer already comes over first. Without saying much, he takes out a gold coin and gives it to the guard. He glances disdainfully at Green and the others, then pushes the door and goes in.
It seems the entrance fee is one gold coin.
“So expensive.” Debbie is shocked. One gold coin equals several months’ expenses for an ordinary family.
The guard seems to hear Debbie’s words. His playful expression grows stronger. He plays with the gold coin in his hand and says, “You think this is expensive? The consumption inside is even higher. Since you are first-timers, the price is double. This place is not for everyone. If you just want novelty and fun, go elsewhere.”
These words make Debbie unhappy immediately. She takes out six gold coins from her purse with a whoosh, deliberately says in a rough voice, “We are here to find girls today. This master wants the best girls.”
Then she pushes the door first and enters.
The guard looks at the gold coins in his hand, a bit surprised. He did not expect this obviously girl-disguised person to be so generous. He is stunned for a moment, then hurriedly says to his companion, “Go notify Madam Rose. Big fat sheep tonight. Hey, this must be some noble lady coming to see the world. Not slaughtering them well would sorry our purses.”
Debbie and the three enter a gorgeously decorated palace.
It looks extremely luxurious, of course with some exaggeration and decadence. The air is filled with the scent of velvet grass, a fragrance with intoxicating effects that can make people dazed and lose control.
Debbie smells something wrong with the scent and immediately reminds her two companions, “Be careful, all of you. Do not get confused by the smell here. Only people with strong minds can resist the temptation here.”
“Miss Debbie, I think you should be the most careful.” Green cannot help but whisper. You know, although Debbie is a summoner famous for strong mental power, she cannot resist even the slightest dizziness.
While they talk with heads down, a gorgeously dressed woman comes over. She looks thirty or forty years old, in a red long dress, with a red rose pattern on her half-exposed bosom, looking extremely seductive. She is obviously the Madam Rose mentioned by the guards outside. Behind her are several pretty young ladies, flirtatiously sending charming looks to Green and the others.
“Three young masters, is this your first time at Dome Palace?” Madam Rose greets them with a floating fragrance and frivolous tone. “What kind of girls do you want? We have them all here, guaranteed to satisfy you.”
She naturally sees at first glance that Debbie and Guni are disguised as men. She deliberately lowers her voice and whispers, “We have men too.”
“What do we want men for?” Debbie says innocently and puzzled. But she quickly pretends to be a regular customer, twirls her big beard with her hand, and walks past the young ladies pretendingly, then shakes her little head. “No good, these are no good!”
The young ladies who were giggling become unhappy immediately. They are all top girls at Dome Palace. This fake boy disguised as a man actually says unsatisfied?
“Then young master, what kind do you want?” Madam Rose thinks she understands something, assuming these two disguised girls are not here for women, just too shy to say.
However, Debbie’s next words suddenly make the smile on Madam Rose’s face disappear.
“I heard you have a singer named Migo here? Her songs are very nice. We want her to sing for us.” Debbie sits down at a seat in the Dome Palace hall, saying in a very practiced manner.
Hearing the name Migo, Madam Rose’s face changes suddenly. The expressions of the young ladies also become strange.
This name seems to be a taboo here.
Madam Rose looks at Debbie and the others with more seriousness and vigilance. Migo’s identity is very special. Although a few years ago she was famous for her singing, after that incident, she has been hidden. Coming from a place like Mole Forest, her name has long been forgotten. These three strange guests tonight suddenly mention Migo’s name. They are probably not ordinary people!
Madam Rose says to Debbie with some difficulty on her face, “I do not know where young master heard this name.”
“That is not your concern.” Debbie says calmly pretending. “Quickly call Migo over. This master wants to hear her songs.”
“Sorry, Migo does not receive guests now.” Madam Rose says hurriedly.
“Humph!” Debbie slaps the small table beside her hard, saying very arrogantly, “Go call her out quickly. Not receiving? Then if this master plays and does not pay, it is not receiving.”
Madam Rose: “…!?”
With a thud, a bat hanging upside down from the beam above suddenly falls down and hits the ground.
