Chapter 658: The Top Consort
However, Xiao Wu inwardly thought that Bai Meiyue was thinking too beautifully. Even if they passed down the orders that no one was allowed to bully and insult Xu Yiyi and her girls, the chances of these orders being followed and adhered to were naturally impossible. Even Xiao Wu, who was loyal and respectful toward Bai Meiyue, felt that there was no way anyone was going to listen to this order. Worst came to worst, they would stop coming to this place altogether.
Why would they bother coming here with so many rules and laws attached? Just for a few seconds of pleasure, who would bother putting their entire life and comfort on the line? It would be better to stay away from this place rather than getting on the hit list of Bai Meiyue. At that moment, Xiao Wu suddenly paused; he seemed to have understood what Bai Meiyue was trying to do.
Maybe by putting these words out here in the open, she was playing with the minds of the men.
She, who came from a good family, would certainly look down on women like Xu Yiyi and her girls. Maybe she knows that even if she stopped the men from coming here, they would only try even harder to sneak inside this building behind the backs of the guards. So instead of stopping them, Bai Meiyue played reverse psychology tactics on these men.
Though men did like to sleep with women like Xu Yiyi, they were also quite notorious and arrogant. Men would often condemn women like Xu Yiyi and the girl who lived with her. By asking them to respect Xu Yiyi and the other women who were engaged in the soft-skin business, it was equivalent to asking them to curse at their mothers. It was a task impossible for the men to do.
More importantly, she asked Xu Yiyi to raise the price of every minute that she spent with another man. Two bowls of rice were enough for women like these... asking the men to pay more for them – that was simply too much.
Xu Yiyi also had the same thought. She knew that these men, no matter how sweet their words were when they were in bed with them, but when they donned their clothes and walked out of the room, turn around and condemn her and her girls for being shameless.
Xu Yiyi had heard these words way too many times and couldn’t be bothered by them, but when she heard Bai Meiyue say that the men who came to look for them had to respect them, she felt as if the woman was cutting off her path to survival. She chased after Bai Meiyue. Angry and upset, she didn’t even care about her image and shouted after Bai Meiyue, "What are you doing? Are you trying to stop the man from coming here? No matter how much you look down on my business, at least we are not harming others. Are we messing with you? We paid the money to stay in this place, honestly. So why are you passing down orders that you know men cannot follow? Isn’t it equivalent to cutting down our livelihood?"
"Just why are you doing this to us?"
"Who said that I am trying to cut off your livelihood?" said Bai Meiyue with a raise of her brows. She glanced at the woman behind her and stated, "Believe me or not, but I am not trying to do anything to harm you or the women living under your roof."
How was she supposed to tell Xu Yiyi that she would soon awaken her supernatural abilities? Though the woman lived a pitiful life after being dragged down by her careless and reckless mother, the woman was lucky and soon would awaken the top consort skills as her special abilities. While the skills sounded like nothing much, it was a really good set of skills. Xu Yiyi would soon rise to the top of the consort world with this set of skills, as just one performance of hers, whether it was singing, dancing or playing a musical instrument, would make several men entranced.
Back then, in her previous life, there would be a long line to just see Xu Yiyi. Men would come from all over the place to meet with her.
Bai Meiyue used to look down on women like Xu Yiyi, who would sleep with men for the sake of surviving, but after meeting and talking with Xu Yiyi, she couldn’t help but admire this woman, for she had created a wide network among the high and the low; there was nothing that she didn’t know. Like butterflies wandering in the gardens, Xu Yiyi and her women would scatter all over the city and would get every single bit of information, something that even the military people couldn’t do.
In her past life, people would actually pay to get a glance at Xu Yiyi and an additional million crystal nuclei to get information from her.
This was the reason why she genuinely respected Xu Yiyi. Even though this woman sold off her body, she didn’t sell her soul. She was willing to get powerful and more influential—a woman like her was bound to be respected, even if she did skin business.
Even if Xu Yiyi was unwilling to kill zombies.
Even if Xu Yiyi was not willing to work hard for someone else.
She was someone who didn’t lose herself even when things got hard for her. This alone was enough for Bai Meiyue to genuinely respect the woman.
When Xu Yiyi saw the sheer admiration and concern in the eyes of the woman in front of her, she frowned. What was going on? Bai Meiyue truly didn’t look down at her? But if so, then why did she pass down such an order?
"Miss Bai—" Xu Yiyi began, but someone tugged at the back of her clothes and shook their head at her. Seeing this, Xu Yiyi could not help but control her temper. She turned around and looked at Bai Meiyue before saying to her, "If you are not cutting my livelihood, then what are you trying to do?"
She tried to suppress her anger, but she couldn’t. With her rising and falling chest, one could see that she was really angry. She said to Bai Meiyue, "If you are not asking the men to turn away every time they see us, what else do you think you are doing? I am telling you, don’t even think for a second that we are going to come and ask you for a decent job like playing with the kids or washing the laundry of the men in your mansion. We are not going to beg. This is the only thing that we know!"
"I never asked you to beg for a job either. Did I say that you should take care of the babies or the dirty clothes?" said Bai Meiyue with a frown. She knew that Xu Yiyi was having a hard time believing that she truly believed that Xu Yiyi was capable of more; after all, she grew up with a mother who often doubted and didn’t care about what Xu Yiyi was suffering from. All she cared about was her own liquor and gambling money. How could she even care for a young girl when she was too big a mess on her own?
"You mean to say that I should actually ask a man to pay me more than one hundred thousand crystal nuclei?" Xu Yiyi asked with an angry look on her face. However, as soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and felt like she had gone crazy. Why was she asking Bai Meiyue about the pricing of her body? It wasn’t like the woman respected her enough for that.
To her surprise, Bai Meiyue actually frowned and said to Xu Yiyi, "It’s too little for someone as beautiful as you. But for the beginning, you can start by putting that price. Xu Yiyi, even if you cannot see through your own beauty, believe me, you are worth more than the price you are setting right now. One day you will know that."
"But what about our meals?" Xu Yiyi was touched by what Bai Meiyue said to her, but at the same time, she knew that no matter how good these words were to hear, they could not fill her stomach.
"I will arrange your meals." Bai Meiyue waved her hand and then turned around to walk away.
"Bai Meiyue!" Xu Yiyi shouted at the woman. However, Bai Meiyue didn’t stop; she simply waved her hand and then continued walking to her car, but as soon as she opened the door of the car, several fleets of cars came driving and Lei Qian stepped out of the one in the centre. He was dressed in a long black cloak which fluttered behind him as he walked towards her. His flaming sword strapped right on his waist.
