Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer - Chapter 1240
Chapter 1240: Poetry
With the end of the ninth episode, both Feng Qing Rou and Zhao Xin found themselves seething in anger. They initially thought Xu Feng’s character was really going to the brothel for lovemaking.
Yet Li Sheng Xuan’s final remark made it clear that the Phoenix Brothel title was a bait all along.
It was actually a Qinglou, a high-class version of a brothel where women sell art and not their bodies.
“And who is this Yumong lady mentioned? It can’t be a fake name in disguise for Chen Kexin’s role, right?” Feng Qing Rou uttered.
“That’s indeed a possibility.” Zhao Xin rubbed her chin. “It could possibly be a spy identity used to integrate herself into the Daxia Dynasty. This kind of plotline isn’t new.”
“Heh, now that’s predictable! Seems like the Vanguard Guild is about to lose the heat.” Feng Qing Rou mused.
Maybe it was the withdrawal symptom effect, but when she knew there was only one episode left to watch, she wanted to detach herself from becoming too addicted to the short drama.
After all, to wait every day for a single episode was truly too exhausting and infuriating.
Nobody could stand a cliffhanger!
By now, those who failed to reach the requirement and could only stop at either episode 2 or 3 were raging on social media.
“Then should I click on the last episode?” Zhao Xin asked.
She was somewhat hesitant to watch episode 10 titled Poetry.
Since only 10 episodes were available at maximum for even those who reached all the requirements. Zhao Xin had a bad premonition that this cliffhanger was going to be extremely painful to endure.
Not to mention her, even Feng Qing Rou held such thoughts and simply wanted to change the topic to avoid thinking about it.
“Forget it, we have already gone this far.” Zhao Xin hissed and promptly clicked on the next episode.
Her speed was so fast that Feng Qing Rou couldn’t even stop her in time.
With the video playing, she could only grit her teeth and watch in agony.

Tenth Episode: Poetry
“Here’s your table, Young Master Feng.” Tao Weng brought Xu Feng to a prime location and quickly had people serve him wine and some fresh fruits.
“Do you also need some of our women to accompany your table?”
“No need for that!” Ding Xiao Ying answered on Xu Feng’s behalf and promptly sat down next to him. It was evident that she was trying to declare her stance and position.
Tao Weng naturally understood what Ding Xiao Ying was thinking. She merely giggled and cleverly excused herself when she noticed Xu Feng’s inaction. As a Madam for so many years, she would be damned if she couldn’t understand the customer’s needs.
However, Tao Weng became even more amused when she witnessed Li Sheng Xuan coming in and heading toward Xu Feng’s table.
“Hoh, even the Young Miss Sheng Xuan has come today. What gives?” Tao Weng wasn’t ignorant of the details of their relationship. She had her own intelligence network to keep her up to date and survive in the capital’s muddy water.
‘Sigh, whatever. Their affair is not my problem. I should just inform Yumong to start getting ready.’ Tao Weng shook her head and rushed upstairs.
…
“There are so many tables around us. Why must you come to our table?” Ding Xiao Ying was exasperated. These two women were really annoying pests.
Li Sheng Xuan was too lazy to even respond to her.
Instead, she sat next to Xu Feng and asked curiously, “Do you still have more banknotes to spend?”
Xu Feng kept quiet. The banknotes he retrieved were indeed all used up already.
After all, they were considered the “entry fee” to even dine in the Phoenix Brothel.
Such a high-class place was inaccessible to the common folks.
Without spending a large amount of money on an entry fee, one could only dream of entering and admiring the beautiful women available here.
However, Li Sheng Xuan would be mistaken if she thought he came here without a plan.
“I don’t need your charity.” He flatly said and gazed at the center platform. “I may not have banknotes, but I have things even more valuable than those.”
“You do?” Li Sheng Xuan raised an eyebrow suspiciously. “What do you have that is more valuable?”
“Want to know?” Amused, Xu Feng leaned close to her and whispered, “Come to my bed tonight and see how you will moan and scream in ecstasy.”
“Scoundrel!” Her face flushed red from his hooligan remarks.
How could he have the nerve to speak those lines?
“Haha, don’t flatter yourself too much. Even if you come to my bed, I’ll still kick you out. Someone like you isn’t even worthy of a courtesan.” Xu Feng laughed gleefully.
The original host was a complete simping and licking dog, who did everything to please Li Sheng Xuan.
Yet what did he receive in return?
Scorn and disdainful gazes, followed by her constantly accompanying another bastard.
Now that he transmigrated over and fully occupied this body, he refused to follow that licking dog behavior.
What kind of woman can’t he get?
Just take a look at Ding Xiao Ying, and his heart was already warmed enough.
Beautiful and unwavering loyalty plus trust toward him.
Which retarded man won’t love such a woman?
“Young Master, I’m also curious.” Ding Xiao Ying suddenly wrapped her arms around his and asked softly. She wanted to know whether Xu Feng was being serious or playing a joke. If it was the latter, then she needed to drag him away to safety.
The Phoenix Brothel was no easy place to meddle and mess around without any consequences.
“Xiao Ying also wants to know?” Xu Feng’s attitude quickly changed 180 degrees as he smiled warmly toward her.
“Un,” she nodded like an obedient dog.
“Give me a kiss and I’ll tell you.” He teased and pointed at his cheek.
But little did he know, Ding Xiao Ying was very proactive. Rather than the cheek, she directly held his chin and kissed him on the lips.
3 seconds later, she pulled away with a flushed expression.
“Can I know now?” She asked shyly.
“It’s a poem meant for you. A bidding in this event is definitely about poetry, so I’ll recite that by then to earn money.” He revealed as the bell rang through the brothel, signaling the start of the event.
