Chapter 2203: Chapter 2203: Call Me Li Mama
The tavern was bustling with chatter, a diverse array of people gathered, making it quite lively.
However, Ye Haochuan quickly noticed that besides drinking, these people would often strike up conversations with the tavern’s shop assistants. The assistants would speak freely unless they were asked specific questions, for which they would charge a fee.
Ye Haochuan entered with Rui’er, and her beauty immediately caught the attention of many men.
She was worldly and naturally wouldn’t be intimidated by mere glances. Gracefully, she followed Ye Haochuan to a corner and sat down.
The person who came to greet them was a young lady, moderately pretty. However, as she approached the table, she would sneak glances at Rui’er, her eyes showing a hint of envy.
Ye Haochuan did not want to waste any time finding Jiang Shuying and Fan Qingyin, so he promptly took out a photo and asked the woman, "I’m looking for the whereabouts of these two people. I wonder if the Dark Moon Pavilion has any information about them."
The woman looked at the photo, a bit surprised by their beauty, but she was evidently professional, quickly gathering her composure and responding, "Though these two women are quite attractive, they don’t have any special status, so we usually don’t pay them much attention.
If you’re looking to have someone find them, you can leave a task request here. Then, naturally, someone good at finding people will help complete the task for you, and you just need to pay the corresponding commission."
Ye Haochuan’s eyes lit up hearing this; hiring someone to help search seemed like a great idea. After all, specialized skills will be more efficient at finding clues, saving him from much trouble.
"How do we go about requesting a task?" Ye Haochuan pondered for a moment and then asked.
"Task requests are divided into levels. If you just want a general direction or location, I can handle that for you. However, if you need precisely to find these two women, the task will be quite extensive, requiring higher task levels, and if it exceeds my authorization, the shopkeeper needs to be involved," the woman explained.
"I need not only their current location but also accounts of what they have been up to. Money isn’t a problem!" Ye Haochuan replied straightforwardly.
Hearing this, the woman slightly bowed and said, "Then please wait here, sir, while I go fetch our shopkeeper!"
With that, she turned swiftly towards the inner hall.
Ye Haochuan’s eyes gleamed for a moment, capturing everything around him in a split second.
This tavern was clearly not as straightforward as it seemed; within the inner hall, countless private rooms could be seen, the people inside evidently having higher cultivation than those outside drinking.
Judging by their demeanor, some appeared to be affluent young masters, some seemed to be bloodthirsty desperadoes, while others held a mysterious allure that was hard to decipher.
Ye Haochuan quickly spotted the young woman who had served him earlier, watching as she entered a sizable private room and whispered something into the ear of a sophisticated woman.
This woman had delicate features, though a few freckles on her face slightly marred her elegance, but she was still an eight out of ten in terms of beauty.
Most crucially, this woman’s entire being exuded mature charm, her every move seductively captivating the heart.
Beside the woman were two handsome young men.
One was dressed lavishly, exuding an affluent demeanor, appearing to discuss something with the woman.
The other had a frosty expression, as if the whole world owed him money.
At the exact moment Ye Haochuan’s gaze swept past him, the cold-faced young man seemed to sense something and glanced in Ye Haochuan’s direction.
Ye Haochuan quickly averted his gaze. Though not afraid of the young man, being caught peeping wasn’t entirely comfortable.
Before long, the mature woman was guided by the young lady towards Ye Haochuan’s side.
"Young sir, my surname is Yao, I’m the shopkeeper of this tavern. Is there anything I can assist you with?" The woman smiled, her gentle voice spilling like silk.
Whether intentional or not, her every expression brimmed with a strong allure.
Seeing her act so flirtatiously, Rui’er quickly grew annoyed, lightly coughing while adopting an equally alluring pose.
Rui’er had once posed as a spy capable of approaching Ye Xiao, capturing his heart even before seducing him completely. She was not to be underestimated.
Her creamy, lustrous skin and slightly plump figure instantly exuded a distinctive allure, overpowering Boss Yao’s presence.
Boss Yao was slightly taken aback, laughing awkwardly as she refrained from any more pretenses, smiling at Ye Haochuan.
Helplessly, Ye Haochuan could only chuckle at Rui’er’s antics, acknowledging that when women engage in subtle battles, it’s far more overt compared to men.
"Boss Yao, I’m looking for two people. Name a price!" Ye Haochuan straightforwardly announced.
"One can tell you’re a direct person, sir. I’ve got a general understanding of your situation; the two young women you seek aren’t exactly easy to find, hence the cost might be..." Boss Yao smiled professionally.
"As far as price goes, there’s no..."
Ye Haochuan was about to say, "Price isn’t an issue," when an untimely voice suddenly interrupted him.
"Oh, such beautiful women! My young master thought Boss Yao was already the top beauty in Shuanghua City, but it turns out there’s another hidden gem here."
The voice grew closer as a lavishly dressed young man soon appeared in front of Ye Haochuan.
This person was indeed the wealthy youth earlier conversing with Boss Yao in the private room, followed silently by the cold-faced young man, his eyes intermittently sizing up Ye Haochuan.
"Young Master Zhu, you flatter me. In Shuanghua City, there are countless women more beautiful than me; you simply don’t frequent enough to notice them. If you’re interested, I could introduce you to a few top beauties in Shuanghua City," Boss Yao said coyly, glancing at Rui’er and smiling. "Though not as stunning as this young lady, they’d be a close match."
"I’ve already seen the best, why settle for any lesser option, even if it’s just a slight difference, there’d still be a noticeable gap!"
Young Master Zhu chuckled, quickly extending his hand towards Rui’er, saying, "Miss, I’m Zhu Biao. May I ask for your name?"
"My name’s Li Mama. Handsome, you can just call me by my nickname, Mama!" Rui’er suddenly giggled flirtatiously.
Young Master Zhu, noting Rui’er’s expression, felt as though another woman had succumbed to his handsome visage. Gleefully, he leaned in with a sly smile, "Mama, would you be willing to have a drink with me?"
"Oh, dear son, since you put it that way, of course your mama will have a drink with you!" Rui’er suddenly stroked Young Master Zhu’s head "affectionately," cackling.
