In a place called Silk River Town, there stands a magnificent courtesan house known as the Perfumed Silk Pavilion.
This place is popular for its excellent services for men, such as entertainment and companionship.
Moreover, the women here are almost all exceptionally beautiful, and their treatment of all customers is very friendly.
This establishment was founded by a woman who could be considered the most beautiful in this town, named Madam Hwa-Ran.
Her beauty makes all the men who see her filled with desire and eager to receive services from her, but there is only one who is not tempted by her Ryu Mu-Yeon.
He is also the beloved adopted son of the madam. She found him in a cave in the middle of the forest. At that time, he was 12 years old, surviving alone in the forest.
And now, here he is...
Lazy and sleeping all day in a room at the courtesan pavilion.
Madam enters Ryu room and sees her beloved son, who is always sleeping all the time. He is now grown up and 18 years old.
Most children his age would be focused on training their martial power or learning their faction power.
Madam entered the room with her assistant... Her assistant always hides her face with a mask.
There are three levels of power in this Murim world: low-level, mid-level, and high-level. Madam is at the peak of her power, a Supreme Master (high-level), while her assistant is a Great Master (mid-level).
Although madam build this courtesan house but she never show anyone her body and service one of customer but in front of her son...She seemed to forget her elegant and beauty ..
Ryu who was sleeping soundly on the bed covered by a curtain .. felt someone sitting next to his bed..
No need to open his eyes, he already knew who had climbed onto the bed.
"Mother, I know it's you."
Madam just smiled happily and immediately hugged Ryu tightly, shaking him back and forth excitedly.
"I miss you soooon!!!!"
Ryu, who felt like he was in an earthquake, just accepted his mom's behavior.
"I didn't go anywhere, Mom... I'm always here, just sleeping a lot." He then held his mother's face and looked into her eyes with his dark eyes. "You're as beautiful as usual, Mom. Btw why are you here?"
'..Erghh... Mother is here because... ahh... I just wanted to ask you to eat together..." Madam's voice was a bit hesitant.
"Oh, if that's the case... let's go," he replied with a smile.
"Erghh... but first, son, can you please remove your hand from my butt?"
Unconsciously, Ryu had been squeezing both sides of his mother's butt with his hands, like they were balloons.
"Oops….. sorry."
He then removed his hands, but the whole scene was seen by Madam's assistant standing behind them.She not doing anything because he's the only person allowed to touch Madam's body.
"Are they here again, Mother?" he asked suddenly.
Madam just nodded.
When his mother nodded, his face suddenly changed to one of annoyance.
They then walked to the dining area—but it was a VIP room inside the suite. This kind of room is usually reserved for important people, like the royal or the most powerful individuals.
They soon arrived outside the room, where two beautiful women, who looked like courtesans, were standing guard. The two women then opened the door for them.
Inside, there were three men with three women they had paid for their services.
Three of the courtesans after seeing Madam and Ryu enter the room, they immediately stood up and bowed to them and immediately left the room.
Meanwhile, the three men wore blue robes, in this world, the color blue is typically reserved for the royal or imperial family.
They looked at Madam with captivated expressions, their faces slightly blushing at her beauty.
Madam and Ryu sat at the round dining table, and within moments, servants brought in the food.
"Please, enjoy the meal," Madam invited softly in a gentle voice.
Without wasting time on small talk, the guests got straight to the point of their visit. They handed over a letter they had brought with them.
Madam took it and began to read, while Ryu paid no attention and simply started eating the food that had been served.
After reading the letter, Madam placed it back on the table and returned it to them.
"I apologize, but I must decline the offer to become the young prince's consort," she said with a smile.
All three of them were visibly shocked by her rejection. One of them suddenly spoke up..
"I'm sorry, but we cannot accept a rejection. This is a direct order from the Imperial Family. Do you understand the consequences of defying their command?"
Madam sighed softly upon hearing this, though she showed no sign of fear.
"This town is an independent faction. We are not under the Murim Alliance or the Orthodox Sect. Therefore, I have the right to refuse," she replied gently.
The three men fell silent. Silk Town was indeed an independent town, open to all factions, even the unorthodox. Causing trouble here would only lead to complications.
Still, they seemed unwilling to give up.
"Can you at least give us a reason why you are rejecting the Young Prince's proposal? He fell in love at first sight after meeting you. Not to mention, he has already reached the Peak-Expert level ( lowest mid-tier) ."
"Also he is still young, and within ten years, he may even advance to Supreme Master (high-tier). Only one in a hundred thousand cultivators can progress that quickly."
Madam shook her head, indicating she was not interested in the young prince.
"Sorry, but still... I must decline."
Then...
"Can you at least tell us why, so we can inform our young prince?"
Madam fell silent for a moment. She just looked at Ryu, who was eating heartily without a care. She didn't really have a concrete reason, she simply loved her life as it was now. She wasn't sure how to explain.
The three men waited for her answer.
"Because she already has sex with me."
Suddenly, Ryu answered the question for her. Everyone was shocked and froze in place, even Madam turned as still as a statue.
