《Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good》Chapter 24 A: Plan to Improve the Courtesan House
Advertisement
This was precisely an expression of evoking an interest in someone!
If this expression was discovered by Nangong Yu or maybe some familiar with Nalan Ye, it's quite possible their eyeballs would pop out. Western Chu's always ice-cold Prince of Chu, who was completely indifferent to everything, when would he pay attention to a young lad?
[She's truly interesting!]
Nalan Ye calmly watched Luo Qing Luan blossom like a flower shining under the sunlight. It's understandable that Nangong Yu was not able to tell her identity since this was their first meeting. However, he knew her true identity. Not only was she not an ordinary woman, she was even the second daughter from the general's mansion.
The fiancee that Nangong Chen had just broken up with!
He originally thought that Luo Qing Luan merely hid her personality, just about the same as those aristocratic ladies and princesses who looked to be delicate and kindhearted when in fact, they were vicious and malicious. In but a couple of days, he had just about forgotten about the falling into the pond incident at the general's mansion.
But he didn't expect that he'd see this Luo family's second daughter again. Not only was she visiting a courtesan house, which was already so world shocking, she even possessed such an abnormal business acumen.
Merely these points already made Nalan Ye interested. Moreover, he was able to tell that Luo Qing Ye had a deep understanding of a man's mind. Everything that she said was clear and logical.
Was it possible that she had already experienced men, and was no longer as pure as she seemed on the surface early on?
Otherwise, how would she have no shame in visiting a courtesan house?
He wasn't able to clearly define his state of mind. Was it curiosity, disgust, amazement, rueful......Nalan Ye did not expose a single trace as he took the measure of Luo Qing Luan, a ripple already forming in his mind.

In regards to Nangong Yu's question, Luo Qing Luan dispelled his misgivings with just a sentence. "As long as Mr. Yu follows my plan and repackage all of Heavenly Dream Tower's noteworthy young ladies, you will very quickly be able to see the effect."
"Repackage them in what way?" Nangong Yu promptly asked.
"Not difficult, as long as you......"
Speaking to this point, Luo Qing Luan suddenly felt a severe gaze directly at her from the side. She turned her head to look at Nalan Ye, and saw his attentively listening appearance. Her eyebrows creased. She didn't directly speak, but instead took brush and paper and walked to another place to write down her thoughts.
In a moment, she brought the details she wrote down and handed it to Nangong Yu as she said, "Take a look."
Although he felt a bit awkward that Luo Qing Luan didn't speak in front of Nalan Ye, no matter what, he's the only prince in Western Chu with a different last name, whose position as a titled prince was higher than his own, Nangong Yu was already too curious now, and he urgently wanted to know what was written on the paper, so he couldn't be bothered with so much anymore.
Once he read the contents carefully, sure enough, he was sincerely filled with admiration. "Brilliant, brilliant......how in the world did Worthy Little Brother Luo think of such methods?"
"Um, after reading many books, I naturally will think of them." Luo Qing Luan used the same excuse she used before.
"Heh heh, Brother Luo is indeed a genius, ha ha ha......these methods, not only are they novel, not only is the expense not much, I'm totally convinced that before long, Heavenly Dream Tower will distance itself completely from the other courtesan houses, fully deserving of being number one–!"

"Really? Aren't you thinking about things too simply?" Nalan Ye abruptly inserted a sentence.
In his excitement, Nangong Yu no longer showed the slightest bit of princely bearing that he ordinarily displayed as he laughed heartily. "Ziqing, there are some things you don't know. Brother Luo's ideas are undoubtedly wonderful, simple, yet applicable. Moreover, it even satisfies those people's need for novelty and mystery......"
Speaking to here, he fiercely grunted an assent. "En! Good,based on this plan alone, Worthy Little Brother Luo already deserve your earnings. I will take the initiative to give you a thirty percent share, are you satisfied with that?"
Luo Qing Luan extended four slender fingers as she responded unhurriedly. "I want forty percent."
"Greedy and never satisfied!" Nalan Ye uttered disdainfully, his tone of voice brimming with disgust.
Nangong Yu started to hesitate somewhat when Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly. "Don't forget, these are not the only ideas in my brain."
"Good, forty percent, then forty percent it is!" Finally, having made his decision, Nangong Yu immediately signed the contract by pressing his fingerprint on it. After that, he gave the contract to Luo Qing Luan. Luo Qing Luan also signed her name on the contract. However, she only signed the two words 'Luo Qing', then simply said a few words to Nangong Yu before leaving.
Just as she turned a corner at the third floor, Luo Qing Luan suddenly stopped and turned around. "What, do you have more to say?" Behind her, that man who was always ice-cold and spoke mocking words unexpectedly followed her, causing her to be on guard.
"You've deceived someone into signing a contract and is just going to walk away from it?" Nalan Ye accused coldly.
"How did I deceive him?" Luo Qing Luan frowned.
In regards to this man, she disliked him more and more.
"Is your name really Luo Qing?" Nalan Ye looked at her as he approached closer step by step, exuding a powerful and imposing aura from head to foot, no longer holding back, suddenly forcing Luo Qing Luan's complexion to turn white, before the iceberg-like man faced her squarely.
Who in the world was he? Why did he give her such a powerful oppressive feeling?

Nobody's Way
Foreign Thorn: Book 1 For eight centuries, the people of Isla have wanted for nothing. The Creator, Maere, uses Her power not only to keep them healthy and fed, but also to map the direction of each person's future Path - their vocation, role in society, and even the partner they'll spend their life with. In a world where infighting once threatened the very survival of humankind, the old texts say that Maere personally stepped in to help guide Her creations to harmony. All is not well among the people of the northern lands, however, as Jian discovers when she receives her own long-awaited Path. The Creator has chosen to favour some towns, but not others, leading to anarchy and unrest in the east, and fierce distrust between the neighbours who enjoy Her protection and those who don't. After many nights of disturbing premonitions, visions of a face uncannily familiar to her, and a voice beckoning her to "Homeland," Jian decides she needs to find answers for herself. She hires Madrigal, a surly young traveller hailing from an "unblessed" village, to take her to the southern lands. The swordsman is on the run from something, or someone, but Jian has no choice but to trust him. When the two leave the safety of the familiar and meet Quinn, a mysterious boy who seems to know more about Jian than she does about herself, it becomes clear that there are forces besides the old magics, forces completely unknown to the people of Isla, in play. Madrigal and Jian aren't sure if Quinn can be trusted, but they're certain he knows more than he's letting on...

The Bronze Players of Recreation
The world of Creation has seen a recent explosion of what can only be called an adventurer’s culture over the past few decades. People who were once looked at as nothing more than lower class mercenaries rose to the ranks of heroes and legends as adventuring became recognized as an idealized lifestyle of overcoming hardship and finding triumph. With the establishment of a guild-based government system on the continent of Terramania, adventurers were soon legitimized and adventuring became a phenomenon universally accepted around the world. Redlette had retreated from this world to live on Earth for the remainder of her years, having been born and outcast by the gods of Creation. However, upon meeting a friend that she treasured dearly, she found herself longing for a return to her world—she wanted to experience it properly and go on adventures with someone whom she holds dear. Putting a plan into action, she meets with her friend, an awkward, nerdy boy by the username of Herring who she’d only known through years of playing online games with him, and invites him to go on this fantastic adventure with her. An adventure in another world had always been an impossible dream for Herring, but when he suddenly found himself with the opportunity to embark on one, he knew it wouldn’t be as simple as books and shows made it out to be. Redlette was notorious for rushing into things without thinking them through, and he was flighty and weak. In the games they played together, they rarely grasped victory. They were losers through and through, both in hobby and life. Despite this, though, he takes the leap and sets off with Redlette into the world of Creation. Together they only had one goal: to have fun and go on the adventure of their lives. This time, they’d establish a guild of their own and be free to take on whatever exploits their hearts desired. This is the story of the founding of their guild. Author’s Notes: -My writing style is largely based off of the absurd amount of light novels I’ve read and anime I’ve watched, so it may come off as cartoonish or exaggerative at times. If that isn’t your thing, I’d steer clear of this story.-Not an MMO story.-No numerical stats.-Relatively slow pacing.-Posts are between 2000-5000 words weekly after Chapter 1.

The Villain's Double Life
“The Villain’s Double Life as the Hero’s Mentor," “Demon Nobles Want to Live Too: A Hero-Raising Simulator for the Transmigrated Villain," “Just Because I’m a Villain Doesn’t Mean I Want the World to End!” Cyrus Calvide was the second son of an aristocratic lord; haughty, vain and power-hungry. One day, when his ancestral inheritance manifested, he discovered he was able to steal other’s powers and abilities using demonic magic. Taking this as a sign that he was destined to rule over others and become the new king of this land, he poisoned his father, killed his elder brother, and embarked on the path to greatness, taking advantage of a demonic invasion to consolidate power and harvest the abilities of others in a cruel and bloody fashion. Until he was summarily defeated by the Hero as a mid-game boss battle and executed for his crimes, of course. When a dedicated fan of the RPG “Next to Eden” awakened in the body of the cruelest future Count, four years before the beginning of the game, he pledged to live humbly. He would let his brother lead and support the Hero from the shadows to ensure the demon invasion would be defeated and he could enjoy life in peace. Rather, he would have, if he hadn’t gotten the Hero’s mentor killed in a freak monster attack before the Hero’s training could even begin. How was he supposed to live a life of peace and luxury if the Hero couldn’t stop the end of the world!? Donning a mask, Cyrus took up mentoring the Hero himself; how hard could it possibly be? . . . Four years later, the kind jack-of-all-trades hero Leon had become a twisted powerhouse: alienating his party members, clearing enemy encounters in a single magical blast, and coldly ignoring the affections of the girl whose love would have allowed him to clear the final boss. He seemed to have plastered himself to his Master’s side, instead. Cyrus bit back his despair while the hero reached out to grasp his hand. “Please stop ignoring the saint, Leon; you can't beat the Demon King by grinding stats! You need the power of love, remember?” “Don’t worry, Master,” Leon smiled as he traced the lines of Cyrus’s palm gently, almost reverently. “I have all the love I need.” VDL is two parts plot and worldbuilding, one part slow-build gay romance, starring a man far too proud to admit he's in over his head and the hero who loves him. Should be updating weekly.
