The competition has two parts: ranking the top courtesans and ranking the brothels. Only the top four brothels are eligible to enter the pleasure boats.
The current four brothels have held their positions for nearly twenty years, and no other brothel has the power to challenge them.
Our family entered the Fragrant Brothel. At the entrance to the brothel's pleasure boat, we saw more scantily clad women greeting customers, but their quality far surpassed what we had just seen. There were mature women, sophisticated women, and young girls.
These women were not only warm and generous, but their demeanor was also completely different from the prostitutes we had just seen.
Each woman exuded a different aura; some were like noblewomen, some like young women, some like chivalrous women, and a few young girls even possessed an innocent charm.
I secretly compared my mother to those mature women who resembled noblewomen, and I sadly realized that my mother, this true noblewoman, lacked their aura.
Of course, if my mother truly displayed her aura, she would completely surpass them.
Moreover, in my opinion, their demeanor was somewhat affected and unnatural, but the customers seemed to enjoy it.
What surprised us most was that there weren't only beautiful women greeting customers here; there were also handsome men and muscular men doing so.
As our family of four appeared, two muscular men and a slender, handsome man immediately approached us.
Their eyes burned with desire as they made suggestive glances.
The two muscular men went to my mother and wife, welcoming them, while the slender man went to me.
"Esteemed ladies, would you like us to accompany you?" the three men asked in unison, their expectant gazes also falling on us.
My mother and wife smiled and extended their hands to them. Their eyes immediately lit up with ecstatic joy, and they pulled them by the hands, leading them into the pleasure boat.
I shook my head at the handsome man, who stepped aside with a disappointed look.
I had only taken two steps forward when I noticed the handsome man staring in terror at the approaching men, his hands clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.
Seeing the handsome man's terrified expression and the lecherous gazes of the burly men, I immediately went back to his side and took his hand.
Seeing me return, the man looked surprised and puzzled.
"You don't like them?" I asked quietly.
"Yes! They come often these days. They come whenever I don't have customers, and they always leave me covered in bruises." He said, looking at me pleadingly.
I scrutinized him. He was handsome, but years of life in the sex industry had clouded his eyes, yet the light of hope within them remained, buried deep in his heart.
While I was observing him, the burly men arrived beside us.
Looking at the man I was pulling, the leader gruffly said, "Little wench, get out of the way, or I'll throw you overboard for my brothers to play with. Hehe! Don't blame us if we ruin your little cunt. Brother Chun (hehe! Not that Brother Chun!), we're back for you again."
The man called Brother Chun knew he couldn't escape, resignedly trying to break free of my grasp, then forced a smile and tried to speak to them.
The man's reaction made me decide, and I forcefully pulled him behind me.
Then, without wasting words with the burly men, before they could react, I slapped them across the face several times.
The burly men were immediately slapped into the Yingchun River, while the leader's almost entirely blackened and yellowed teeth landed on the pleasure boat.
The man stared in astonishment at the scene before him, stunned, as I pulled him towards the pleasure boat.
After I pulled the man's slender body away, the people on the pleasure boat watched my retreating figure disappear and immediately went back to what they were doing, paying little attention to what had just happened.
Such scenes were commonplace on the pleasure boats; they were nothing new to them.
The man, pulled along by me, stumbled forward.
When he finally caught up with me, his eyes were filled with adoration as he looked at my tall, slender back, his handsome face beaming with excitement.
I clearly saw the man's staggering steps and infatuated gaze behind me, but I didn't slow down for him.
Taking advantage of a quiet moment when there were few people around, I silently channeled my inner energy, transforming into "Long Tianfei," before slowing my pace.
By this time, we had arrived at the entrance of the pleasure boat's lobby.
I turned back to "Brother Chun" behind me and asked gently, "What's your name?"
"My name is Xi Chun. Thank you for your help, ma'am—no, heroine." After saying this, he looked at me nervously.
In the man's eyes, besides gratitude, there was a hint of expectation and flattery.
Because he knew that I might only be temporarily helping him out. If that was all, he would have to go back to entertaining customers, and he really hoped that I was his customer tonight.
I looked into his eyes, put my arm around his waist, and said to this man who wasn't even as tall as me, "Xi Chun, you'll stay with me tonight!" After saying that, I led him, who looked ecstatic, into the lobby.
Upon entering the hall, I immediately searched for my mother and wife. I quickly found them watching the performance with two burly men.
My mother and wife were sitting in the laps of the men, watching the show and eating food they were being fed.
While the two men were feeding them, another man was constantly kneading and fondling their bodies.
As their large breasts were being kneaded, they thrust their hips, stimulating their genitals.
I pulled Xi Chun towards them, observing the situation in the hall.
Almost all the patrons in the hall were men, with only a few women.
Moreover, the women who came alone almost all covered their faces, making their true identities unclear.
There were no more women like us who came alone.
These women who came alone were almost all accompanied by male prostitutes provided by the brothel. These male prostitutes were easily recognizable—their clothing...
The male prostitutes were dressed in two ways. One group consisted of burly men like my mother and her companions, each barely concealing their large penises with a white cloth wrapped around their waists.
The other group, like Xi Chun beside me, wore only a slightly transparent veil over their naked bodies.
As I walked towards my mother and wife, I teased Xi Chun, my hand constantly stroking his buttocks.
Occasionally, I would slip my hand under his crotch from behind, touching his perineum and scrotum, making it very difficult for him to walk.
When we reached my mother and wife's table, Xi Chun's penis was fully erect, the veil billowing high under his long shaft.
When they saw me, my mother and wife were startled, but quickly recovered, continuing to watch the program while letting the male prostitutes tease them.
When I sat down, I noticed that my wife was no longer wearing underwear, and the male prostitute's large hands were ravaging her crotch without any cover.
Watching this scene, I felt a surge of excitement.
My wife was exposing her genitals to a male prostitute in public, and they could be discovered at any moment.
My mother was doing the same; a male prostitute was squeezing her breasts while simultaneously lifting a white cloth and rubbing his large penis against her buttocks.
After I sat down, I immediately had Xi Chun, who was shorter than me, sit facing me on my lap, letting him rub his penis against my body while I watched the performance with my mother and the others.
The performance was quite interesting; it was actually a reenactment of my battle with Hei Wulong on the Canglan River.
I was played by the most beautiful courtesan of Piaoxiang Courtyard, a beauty who used to be on par with Xiao Hong, while Hei Wulong was played by a very handsome male prostitute.
Xi Chun told me that this was a game frequently held at Piaoxiang Courtyard, where prostitutes and male prostitutes would perform famous and exciting battles, but the ending would always be altered, turning into a sensual and lewd orgy.
