"Young man you look like an old friend, come buy something from me. I'll give you a discount." A middle aged street vendor slyly approached him yet Ming Yu shook his head in refusal.

On this day, Ming Yu planned to visit the western district which was well known as the capital's entertainment district.

By entertainment, theatre houses and gambling shops were in numbers. Street performance were common and the well known Heaven Pavilion was located in it.

By Heaven. The Pavilion was the largest and richest brothel house in the capital with a relatively high reputation. The Pavilion was exclusively for nobles and some well-known families but as long as you have the money, the Heaven Pavilion was more than willing to make an exception.

The author didn't have any idea on entering it of course. As a part-timer struggling to make ends meet, saving money has become his 6th sense.

He was only interested in seeing a theater act or a performing troupe. Even a brawl in a gambling house was much more entertaining than it.

[Admin: Ming Yu. you really. really. Really. don't want to go inside a brothel house?]

"No."

Ever since they made up. The Admin had been online the entire time and would even take the initiative to wake him up to greet the sun's warm sunshine.

He wanted to sleep longer ...

"I don't have money" Ming Yu reasoned out.

[Admin: Ill give you money so can we go now? ]

"No."

[Admin: COME ON. Ming Yu! aren't you a man? lets get some action going okay? I give you my word! It won't disappoint you!]

"..."

This system. . . why does it sound like it had been in there before?

[Admin: As a system! It wishes to show some usefulness in other areas too!]

The Admin left Ming Yu speechless.

Better ignore it.

Ming Yu was idly walking when suddenly a delicate hand grabbed him into an alley, the forceful tug made him stagger and his butt fell to meet the ground.

" ...h-help" a woman's voice said.

[Admin: This was unexpected but DAMN. Here she comes!!!]

"..."

Ming Yu calmly stared and observed the panting woman.

"Mmn...ahh~ help. h-help me. too hot." she begged, her words stuck between her moans and panting. His hand was held tightly and was slowly being guided to touch the woman's cheeks.

[Admin: Now's the chance!! TAKE IT!]

Ming Yu gathered the woman's arms over her head. Ah ... this was to stop the woman from wandering her hands all over his body yet for the Admin who was witnessed how it was playing out, he started spamming the chat with ah~ ah~ to express excitement.

Ming Yu took the string of cloth that bounded his hair together and tied up her hands to limit her movements.

"En~,ah!"

[Admin: DO IT.]

Ming Yu took out a numbing medicine ignoring Admin's encouragement?- and forced the lady to drink it to help alleviate her symptoms.

The lady was really alluring with peach round eyes picturing a gentle and delicate look despite her having a sexy ... healthy body. Due to intoxication, her eyes were foggy with tears that could make a man go crazy. For her to reach such a state, the person who did this to her went too far as the dose of the drug was too high. Its easy to tell that she ran away from her slightly tattered clothes but after observing her face twice, Ming Yu couldn't deny that men would go crazy for such a high grade courtesan.

Numb, the lady's legs gave away. Ming Yu took off his outer robe and hid her in it then carried her in his arms and headed back to the inn.

[Admin: Not doing it?]

"Go away" If you really wanted it badly, why don't you do it?!

[Admin: Fine. I wont disturb you. What a bore.]

"Innkeeper. Bath. Cold water." Ming Yu asked.

The innkeeper was a middle aged old man who kept gathering his beard with his fingers as a habit. He gave Ming Yu and the body in his arms a questioning glance before nodding his head and left to prepare the bath.

Soon after it was ready, Ming Yu walked in with the lady in his arms. It was then that the lady snapped out of it and finally struggled in his embrace but just before she could grab hold of Ming Yu's neck, he let her go and she plunged into the bath water.

He wasn't at fault. She wasn't light at all so squirming like that made his arm give away.

"khak! hheuk!" She coughed unable to steady herself and was literally drowning on a shallow tub. Ming Yu didnt bother help ad cause further misunderstanding so he put the women's clothes that he bought onto the chair and left.

[Admin: What a disappointing example of a man you are ...]

-

The capital of Xi lived up to its name for a week wasn't enough to see through the entirety of it.

Ming Yu continued with his sight seeing activities and headed to visit the huge lake in the south-western part of the Xi capital.

It was noon, and the lake was filled with boats in various colors that were either ridden by couples or boat vendors.

In the middle of the huge lake was a wide patch of land where a restaurant called Culinary Pavilion stood which was the most expensive restaurant in the capital. Due to it's unique location, a boat was needed to be rented to get there.

As an author, it was known that there will always be a gathering spot for the characters and Ming Yu created the Culinary Pavilion for that purpose. Secondly, he wanted to try the so called food-for-the-royalty. Ming Yu never had the chance to indulge himself with delicacies in real life so if the food was as tasty as he described it in his novels, then it really was a must try.

Ming Yu chose to dine on the second floor, east wing. It was expensive, but it was less crowded making him feel at ease.

The pavilion consists of four floors. Ming Yu sat closest to the open that he could gaze up and get a glimpse of the upper floors.

Ah ... the scene where a character was leisurely drinking tea whilst intently listening and observing the people around him. Ming Yu had been looking forward to imitate this noble scene in real life.

[Admin: Ming Yu. why are you spending so much. so unlike you.]

"Admin... is someone looking..." Ming Yu felt the strong gaze for a while now but couldn't tell where. If he typed it down, he'll look weird so Ming Yu was forced to use the voice command hoping that no one was looking at his lips moving.

[Admin: Pretty much everyone here are taking glances at you pretty boy.]

Ming Yu glanced around and surely some people are looking at him. But their gaze, it felt different? He didn't know how to describe it and could only ease the cold feeling on his neck by rubbing it.

The cold feeling was getting colder in each second yet Ming Yu couldn't express his nervousness. It was only after a while did he notice a dark shadow that casted itself on the table.

"Handsome scholar, would you mind sharing the table with me?" Although the man asked so, he already took his seat without even hearing his reply. Ming Yu was in the middle of an internal struggle only nodded and continued to leisurely sip his tea.

He didn't need to waste time to guess who the luxurious man was since his very presence alerted the crowd, filling the hall with the noise and topics that stemmed from rumors.

"Hey... isn't that Lu Palace's... 5th Prince."

"Prince Lu. what's he doing here.."

"Poor scholar. Prince Lu has his eyes on him."

Admin.

[Admin: Yeah?]

I don't remember creating a character like him.

[Admin: Can't blame you. You only wrote a short passage of him in your manuscript. A line to be exact.]

[Admin: He's pretty much a filler character.]

Why is he suddenly talking to me.

[Admin: Since your characters pretty much came to life. Filler characters wont stay still anymore. they want to walk into the spotlight too.]

[Admin: 5th Prince entitled Lu, Zhang Muye. You initially wrote him as a scum who is delighted with both genders, who was supposed to forcefully marry the ML's sweetheart adding up to the ML's vengeance. You threw that plot away.]

[Admin: Now he's man-hunting you.]

[Admin: Author fighting!]

The Admin cheered him on yet Ming Yu can only dislike this development.

Prince Lu was giving him flirtatious looks appraising Ming Yu from head to toe.

"Young scholar, you're a new face. En. suits my taste, how could I not have seen you before."

Learning from Admin about this filler character, Ming Yu nodded his head and coolly moved away.

[Admin: Gathering both bees and butterflies.]

Prince Lu licked his lips enjoying Ming Yu's cold and indifferent treatment. He reached out his hand and touched Ming Yu's cup, slowly tracing his fingers down the back of Ming Yu's hand.

Just before he could sneak into his sleeves, Ming Yu grabbed the naughty hand and put his tea down since he couldn't drink it anymore. Ming Yu gracefully stood up from his seat with an intent to leave.

"If I were you I would stop before this prince will cripple your legs." Prince Lu threatened in a flirtatious voice but his tone expressed a fit of not rejectable dominance.

Ming Yu stood still. He stopped not because of cowardice rather to ponder which would be the wises choice to make in this situation.

He didn't even spare a look to Prince Lu and the Prince was left sitting, gazing at his back.

Prince Lu grinned and took the cup Ming Yu left on the table in his hands, the warmth of it was seeping through his palms. He could see a faint lip mark on it and didn't even think twice to drink from the same spot. An indirect kiss of sorts.

Prince Lu stood up from his seat when suddenly a man, no doubt familiar to him blocked his flitarious approach.

"My. my. General Yao. do you mind moving out of the way?" The smile behind his fan turned rigid, looking forced.

The General lightly smiled back but didn't move. If there was only a handful of people Prince Lu despises, this blockhead was totally one of them.

"I would like it if you leave this man alone, Lu Wangye." chimed a woman's voice.

Her strides were graceful and slow radiating with elegance. Half of her face was veiled but the beauty in her eyes couldn't hide her charming features.

"this woman..." Wasn't this the same woman he threw into the tub earlier?

[Admin: The butterfly came! I'm telling you, this woman is into you author~ sexy time! sexy time!]

Prince Lu's smiling face couldn't help but crumble after he noticed the change around him. These two figures weren't the only ones flashing him a bad look. He was surrounded. "The 7th Prince's people..."

This fact spoiled his flirtatious appetite and the gaze he looked at Ming Yu's silhouette changed into a murderous one.

This scholar. Who is he?

"Interesting." His chosen prey amounted more than what he had expected. He had a feeling, that Ming Yu was a toy that was about to give him high quality entertainment.

Prince Lu didn't dare make a fuss in this situation and left after giving Ming Yu a lasting flitarious glance.

The prince was gone yet the cold gaze that made him shiver still didn't disappear.

His eyes reflexively stared at the third floor room parallel to his direction. If one looked hard enough, a figure could be seen behind the blinds intently staring at Ming Yu's every move.

"Who is it..."

Ming Yu wasn't really looking forward on meeting another psycho.
