Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Capital's red light district was always crowded.

There were prostitutes and courtesans everywhere, showing their seductive appearance to the customers. Some were sitting inside their windows or balconies, waiting for their next target while pulling their clothes down, revealing their shoulders and a bit of their chests.

Some were standing outside, their breasts and buttocks shaking as they tried to catch the customers' eyes. They would smile and giggle, fluttering their fans and their eyelashes, making themselves as sexy and attractive as possible.

Leo wore a simple robe, covering his upper body completely, and had his hair tied into a bun like the other civilians. He looked perfectly normal, and no one would expect him to be the Thunder God.

Not only him, but Emperor Sheng also dressed pretty simple, with only a black robe and his hair tied into a bun, hiding his golden hair color.

As they walked down the street, many eyes were on them. They had a strange aura, not like normal customers or even high-rank officials. Many courtesans and prostitutes approached them, trying to entice them.

"Sir, are you looking for a good time? We have the best courtesan in town."

"Please don't, my dear customer. She will hurt you with her sharp teeth."

"Hey, hey, no fighting. Look, we have a new one. She's beautiful and will make your dream come true."

They were loud and pushy, trying to pull and drag the two men into their shops.

No surprise they became crazy.

While Leo and Sheng's clothes were normal, they looked brand new. Their faces were also clean and handsome, catching the prostitutes' attention. Leo had strange, unique face features not often seen in the Central Plains, and his blue eyes were like sapphire.

Meanwhile, Sheng's way to carry himself was graceful and elegant, a typical sign of a noble or royalty.

Their presence was strong, and they were perfect prey.

However, they didn't have the intention to visit any shop yet.

"Wow, is this how the red light district is? It's so lovely, similar to my Harem Estate." Sheng commented, a smile on his lips. "I wonder how it will be once we enter the brothel. What are you thinking, Leo? We can't just walk around like this."

"Ah, well. You're right. How about you find some places, Sheng? I'll follow you. Let's visit each shop and choose the best one."

"That's a good idea! Let's do it!"

With their plan set, they visited every shop on the street. Leo only tagged along because he was invited, and he couldn't refuse a friend's request. He wasn't interested in a woman's body, not strangers.

They haven't gone to the brothel yet. Instead, they chose a teahouse, where the prostitutes served tea and entertained the guests with their skills. It was a way to test the water before choosing the final place.

"The music here is good. There are lots of talented people out here."

"I agree."

Leo nodded and took a sip of his tea. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

'This is not bad. At least, I don't have to worry about anyone recognizing me.'

Even if they did recognize him, he could throw the attention by sacrificing Emperor Sheng. He was confident people would be more interested in their mysterious ruler, whose identity was shrouded in mystery instead of a mere mercenary leader.

'Maybe I can have fun here.'

He was feeling a bit tired from his non-stop working, and a little fun would be good for him.

So, he continued to sit there and enjoyed the performance. A woman was playing zither and singing, and another woman was dancing, swaying her hips and touching her skin.

She was wearing a red dress, and her breasts were almost popping out. Her eyes were bright, and her smile behind the veil was charming.

The Emperor was attracted to her, and he waved his hand, calling her over. She bowed and approached him, leaning forward to give him a view of her cleavage.

"Guest, do you want to continue in a private room? My master will let us have a discount if you're interested."

Her voice was low and seductive, and Sheng was obviously attracted.

"Let's go, then." He stood up and looked at Leo, "Well, enjoy yourself. If you fancy any girl and want to have fun, let them know I will pay for your part too. No need to hold back."

Leo blinked in surprise, not expecting such an offer.

"I'll keep it in mind."

With a smile, he watched Sheng and the courtesan leave to the second floor, where the rooms were. Leo couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

To be honest, his interest to experience youth died down after he entered the red light district. He just wasn't interested in any of these women, not even the beautiful ones.

Maybe because he was used to Jessica and Anya's bodies, or he just didn't like the smell of smoke and alcohol. But overall, it was a waste of time.

'Haa... I should've just return to Chengdu after returning. But well, making my client happy is also one of my duties. So, let's try to enjoy myself.'

Leo took a deep breath and looked around. No matter how he thought, he had never been to a brothel before, and this was a great opportunity.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

However, the courtesan and prostitute's attitude was putting him off. He wasn't sure if it was the environment or the lack of trust between them and the customers.

But, he wasn't that interested. Until he found something.

"Huh?"

A girl, smaller than the others, timidly stood there, not moving and not attracting any customer. She looked out of place, with her dark green robe and her messy gray hair hiding her face.

She was like a shadow, blending in the crowd.

Leo didn't know why, but he found her interesting. She seemed different from the other women, and his eyes were drawn to her.

And then, he remembered something.

'Gray hair and small stature not even reaching my chest. Her eyes are covered, and she looks fragile.'

With a petite body that was hidden by the robe, her pale skin and gray hair, Leo could imagine who she was.

'Is she?'

It was a character from the original novel. An important one that was enough to make a big impact on the plot. She appeared once to help Kim Min-Gu when he was on the run, hiding him from the Supreme Evil's follower as well as the Murim Alliance and other factions trying to kill him.

Their detection ability was among the best. And Kim Min-Gu's blatant and unique Qi was easy to detect.

However, this girl had managed the impossible. She masked Kim Min-Gu's Qi and made it seem like he wasn't even there, which allowed him to escape safely.

'How interesting. Is it really her?'

He didn't know if she was the real one.

She whom the readers called as Hidden Loli, the shadow that was able to hide the protagonist and even the Supreme Evil's existence from everyone's sight.

But, maybe it was a coincidence.

There was a possibility that this was just a random prostitute, and Leo had gotten the wrong idea.

'Let's ask her name.'
