Huaxu Square, the liveliest pleasure quarter in Li Zong Pass.
"Young Madam, are you sure you want to come here?"
Dressed in men's clothes, Xuan Mei cut a dashing figure, but a slight frown of worry now creased her brow.
"I hear Huaxu Square is full of curiosities, and lots of… uh… blonde-haired, blue-eyed Ah Qi Beauties. I have to go see for myself!"
"But His Lordship…"
Song Lianhe stopped in her tracks, a wide grin spreading across her face. "Did Zhou Cangyan ever explicitly forbid me from going to Huaxu Square?"
Xuan Mei froze for a moment, then shook her head. "No."
"Well then!" Song Lianhe proactively linked her arm through Xuan Mei's, snuggling against her shoulder. "If he didn't forbid it, that means it's allowed. We came all this way to Li Zong Pass. Wouldn't it be a shame not to see the sights?"
"…"
Xuan Mei found herself at a loss for words.
'This place is fraught with danger,' Song Lianhe silently reminded herself. 'I'll just take a quick peek and then leave.'
