Chapter 30: Side Story: Being Creative (IV)
Lin Qingcheng managed to get her wits about her as Huang Ruyan slowly came down from her high. After an awkward silence, tomato red faces, and a lot of stammering, Lin Qingcheng finally explained her reason for coming to the inn. Huang Ruyan felt extremely thankful that there was someone in the world that cared for her. She let her emotions out and cried as she explained her situation after being kidnapped.
The kidnappers took them in carts to Moonlight City where they were sold at a human market. Those with any bit of cultivation, like Huang Ruyan, were more prized and bought by places like the Drunk Blossom Inn. Other peasant girls that had zero strength were sold to whorehouses in slums or directly to pimps and forced to work the streets. Although Huang Ruyan's customers could be rough or violent, the inn still protected the working girls. The other girls faced real danger of losing their lives.
Lin Qingcheng wanted to save those poor girls but couldn't come up with a good solution. In the end, Lin Qingcheng talked to the owner of the inn and directly bought all the girls working there that were on her list. It came out to an average of ten gold per person. Huang Ruyan helped her identify the ones that hid their real names out of shame and they were able to save twenty in total, including Huang Ruyan. The deal also allowed the girls to take their meager items and belongings.
Zhou You could only shake his head as Lin Qingcheng led a crowd of women into his building. She was the boss's senior sister after all and he couldn't refuse her so he arranged for people to take care of them.
Lin Qingcheng met with the twenty confused and nervous women and told them they were completely free to go back to their towns and villages. Shocked and elated, they cried and hugged each other. They didn't expect her to have simply bought them out of generosity.
What was surprising was that only eight of them ultimately chose to return home. The twelve that remained, including Huang Ruyan, each had their reasons. Some had nowhere to return to or were too ashamed to return. Others wanted to continue to work for the simple fact that selling their bodies in the capital city could earn them in one week what their parents earned in a year out in the country. But most importantly, they saw Lin Qingcheng, the first disciple of an immortal, as their savior and their new bastion.
Huang Ruyan led the others as they bowed to Lin Qingcheng. "Mistress! We vow to heaven and earth, from this day forth, we will be your servants for life and will follow you to the ends of the world!"
Lin Qingcheng laughed in surprise and delight, "Quickly rise... I will accept you all, you're my people now. If anybody dares to harm you, I'll beat them up!"
"Thank you, Mistress!"

Lin Qingcheng found Zhou You a few days later for a chat.
"Uncle Zhou, I am wondering if the Zhou family is interested in supporting a prostitution business."
He choked on his tea.
"Cough... What?" Zhou You was shocked. The Zhou family was only involved with merchant trade and their presence in Moonlight City was very limited. He guessed where she was going but this was a huge problem!
"Miss Lin, with Master Chen's support, perhaps..." Zhou You was a seasoned businessman and tried to be diplomatic. "But I don't think Master Chen will agree as it might smear the reputation of his sect."
Lin Qingcheng didn't come up with this idea without reason. After living a few days with the women that remained, she understood their plight, their lives, and also their desires a lot more. Many of them wanted to continue to sell their bodies but were afraid of threats and beatings from the pimps.
Her proposal was for the Zhou clan to create a safe house. Lin Qingcheng would then use her money or fists to save the women and bring them to the safe house. Those that wanted to return to their families would be able to. Those that had nowhere to return to or simply wanted to stay could live and ply their trade there.
Zhou You tried to persuade her otherwise and they argued for a long time. Lin Qingcheng was set in her idea and didn't budge an inch. She had a stubborn streak because of her only child syndrome as well as her first disciple syndrome. She was like an obstinate mule and didn't agree with any of Zhou You's arguments. Finally, he was forced to message the boss, Mistress Zhou.
The message was sent at the quickest speed using letter eagles. After a few days, Chen Wentian arrived in Moonlight City along with Zhou Ziyun. After hearing from Lin Qingcheng about the whole situation, he liked her solution to saving as many kidnapped women as possible.
He was not judgmental and did not look down on those women that sold their bodies. It was simply a part of human nature. As someone who was a bit perverted, he understood the need for such businesses. The problem was the kidnappings and slavery that came with it.
He didn't mind a prostitution house attached to him through his disciple when they were doing it for good reasons and were going to treat the women well. Many immortals visited such establishments to satisfy their desires and he knew of some that operated their own. It was completely fine.
"Qingcheng, I like your idea, but I think a lot of this will end up affecting Ziyun." He said, "As the master, I can't make such a decision to make her help you. You two should discuss it among yourselves."
He left the room and let them two sort it out. This was his main concern as he didn't want to show too much favoritism to his first disciple over his second.
Lin Qingcheng grabbed Zhou Ziyun's hands as she begged her, "Elder Sister, please help me! I'll only use the gold master gave me, and I just need to hire people from the Zhou clan. Elder Sister, those girls are so miserable, we must save them!"
Zhou Ziyun smiled, "Qingcheng, actually I agree with you. I think we should do our best to save them as well. As women, we should do our best to help when other women are being exploited. I can also help you with additional gold."
"Really!" Lin Qingcheng was excited.
"Only..." Zhou Ziyun paused dramatically, "I would like to ask of something from senior sister in return."
Lin Qingcheng nodded her head. "No problem!"
Zhou Ziyun continued, "Whenever we are both at the sect, your next 10 nights of one-on-one training with Master, can you give them to me?"
"Okay!" Lin Qingcheng said without thinking and gave Zhou Ziyun a grateful hug, "Thank you!"
Chen Wentian was outside listening in. He was taken aback by the implication, 'Wait, did Qingcheng just sell my body?'

Lin Qingcheng found Huang Ruyan alone in her room later that night, "Ruyan, what did you take when you left the inn?"
Huang Ruyan understood her meaning, "Mistress, I brought all the tools that you might be interested in. Here."
She retrieved the special box and placed it on the table before opening it up. They both sat as Huang Ruyan began to explain each fascinating instrument.
"Mistress, first, these are called dildos." Huang Ruyan took out an assortment of cylindrical-shaped items. There was the wooden one. There was a shiny one made out of what looked like metal. One was made out of a type of marble and had a smooth polish. They had different shapes and sizes.
"It's used to substitute a man's cock and the different sizes and shapes can create different sensations." Huang Ruyan said as she picked up each dildo and explained its particulars.
"... but there are so many different sizes?"
Huang Ruyan giggled, "Mistress, men's cocks come in all different sizes too!"
"But... but..." Lin Qingcheng spluttered.
She had only ever been with Chen Wentian and had no intention of changing that. She felt that with so many sizes, if she picked one a different size from him, it would be highly inappropriate and downright wrong.
She pushed the dildos away, "I can't... I can't! None of them are the right size!"
Huang Ruyan did not look disappointed but smiled knowingly, "Mistress, it seems you have someone dear to your heart and you don't want to betray them?"
Lin Qingcheng nodded slowly.
"Easy, we have a special artisan who can custom make one to your specifications. Length, girth, the curve, and as much detail as you desire. That way, when you are feeling lonely and missing him, you can pull out the substitute that is exactly the same as him!"
"Wow... that sounds amazing! Let's do that!"
"Okay, I will arrange a meeting. Next, these are called vibrators." Huang Ruyan pointed to a bunch of circular oval objects. They had about the same diameter as the width of the dildos and had inscriptions drawn on them.
She held up a small wooden tablet, also with inscriptions on it. "They are enchanted to vibrate and can be controlled like this."
She injected a tiny bit of energy into the tablet and a polished wooden vibrator on the table started buzzing and shaking. "The two inscriptions are linked to transfer my energy and to make it vibrate. Mistress, would you like to watch me use this?"
Lin Qingcheng was suddenly reminded of the image of Huang Ruyan spread out and her pussy on full display. Last time, she had been too nervous and shocked and could not stop it from happening. She still felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't bear to see such a thing again...
"Perhaps next time!" Lin Qingcheng yelped and fled the room.
