Otherwise, maybe he could perform a one-handed bullet-cutting performance.
It’s not very practical, but it has great ornamental value.
"Pity."
When Li Mo got up, the sun was already high in the sky. He went to the ramen shop to eat a bowl of ramen as usual, and then walked out of the shop under the strange gaze of the other party.
It seemed that the news that he was going to replace the original swordsman and go to Yukuo had spread to a small extent. In a way, he was stealing someone else's love.
You Guo, the Oiran, and changing people.
These keywords can be associated with the plot of a rich young master competing with others for the oiran.
Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, Li Mo didn't know what to say for a moment... Fortunately, not many people knew about this matter.
This is the only consolation.
Although his reputation was damaged, Li Mo didn't care at all.
Originally, this sunshine and weather were suitable for a nap. But Li thought that he just woke up and it was not good to go back to sleep.
That’s great, I have something important to do.
"My Lord, it's great that you are willing to accept this mission. I don't want to go to the Flower Street, but Lord Butterfly designated me as the candidate."
After lunch, Li Mo found the swordsman.
He was about 14 or 15 years old, very young, and looked like a fresh meat. No wonder Kocho Kanae chose him.
But the original candidate was not very happy about being chosen.
"why?"
"I do have a fiancée."
Through subsequent communication, Li Mo learned that the young man's fiancée was his childhood sweetheart. The two survived the attack of the demons and joined the Demon Slayer Corps. He successfully became a swordsman, but his fiancée became a hermit because of her lack of strength.
For this reason, Kocho Kanae chose him. He didn't dare to make a move on the oiran, because if he did, he would tell his fiancée right away.
This is why Kocho Kanae chose him.
The handover went smoothly. As for the reason for the change of personnel, it is actually easy to explain. For the boss, as long as the money is in place, any excuse can be made to get away with it. On the contrary, if the money is not in place, no matter how many excuses there are, no matter how perfect they are, they will not be able to get away with it.
There are many moving stories in the tour. But behind those stories is a cruel reality. The reason why stories can be passed down is because they are rare. If they are rare, and everyone is like that, then what is the value of spreading them?
Time passes by minute by minute, like running water, flowing straight eastward without turning back.
When the sun sets and the moon rises, the hustle and bustle of the day ends and the leisurely night arrives. The whole of Tokyo changes from a hideous machine to a bustling market. The day is for work, and the night is for life.
Who would have thought that in the future, the first half of the night would also turn from life to work?
This is Li Mo's final sentimentality.
Because he had already arrived at Yukuoka Street. The death of Daki and Jifutaro did not affect anything, but the owner of Kyogokuya announced that the oiran Warabihime was missing.
Disappearance is not uncommon in Yoshiwara. Even the most famous courtesan has gone missing.
Perhaps the only one who felt sad was the owner of Kyogokuya, as her family's cash cow was gone. But for other people who lived a life of luxury, Princess Warabi's disappearance meant nothing.
When visiting the city, the thing that is most lacking is the oiran.
You Guo is still the same as always.
The Demon Slayer Corps' pursuit of the oiran Koixia is just one step away, and that is the oiran herself coming to the street with her guard of honor to receive customers.
The cost is borne by the store, but the customer has already spent a lot of money before that.
During the whole process, the courtesan and the customer had to stand on the stage, being watched by people on the street was enough to satisfy anyone's vanity.
If Li Mo were to say, this is equivalent to the top scholar riding a horse around the city when his name is on the list of successful candidates, accepting the admiring gazes of others.
Getting something that others can't get is also one of the sources of happiness for others. Oiran not only represents beauty, but also brings other things.
Li Mo looked above average in appearance, not as good as the previous team members. But when he saw the boy standing next to him, he looked relieved.
Most likely he is henpecked.
He looked at the other person with malice.
"The people are here. Sir, I'll leave the rest to you."
The team members were here as servants. But from this statement, it felt like they were trying to pass on the blame.
Li Mo, on the contrary, could understand the other person's feelings.
Who made it so that the person sitting on the float now is not the courtesan Lixia?
Even with the thick makeup, Li Mo could still tell at a glance. The names on the health bar were enough for him to tell who was who.
"Thanks a lot."
Li Mo said to the boy next to him. He had guessed this possibility long before he came.
But no matter what happened before, he is standing here now.
He closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, Li Mo let out a slight breath.
The aura belonging to Bai Chen's bloodline.
Foxes, in human cognition, are associated with beauty.
Even without spreading its tail and ears, that hint of aura was enough to change its temperament.
At the invitation of the guard of honor, Li Mo boarded the float.
When they were a little further away, Li Mo recognized her as Butterfly Kanae by the name on the health bar. After boarding the float, he could recognize Butterfly Kanae and Li Xia by their various differences.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Li Mo didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Does it look good, Mr. Li?" The girl nodded and said softly.
The hairpin on her bun moved slightly, and her cheeks were rosy. The twelve layers of single hair covered her body, but added a sense of nobility.
Li Mo replied: "It's like a goddess descending to earth."
Chapter 233: The elder sister always walks ahead of the younger sister
The height of the float is not very high, but it is enough for people standing on it to overlook the people on both sides of the street.
Water flows to the lowest place, and people climb to the highest place. This is the truth of the world. For those distinguished guests who spent a lot of money, standing on the float is also a service of the courtesan. At this moment, those who stood around and watched the courtesan and watched the excitement also became part of this service.
Free is the most expensive.
Li Mo withdrew his gaze.
He doesn't care for this kind of "spotlight" scene.
Meaningless.
"Li-san, don't you like this kind of scene?"
"Why not go exercise?"
"What a straightforward statement. Li-san, you were praising my beauty earlier, but why are you not paying attention to me now?"
Butterfly Kanae's voice was very soft, but it was loud enough to reach Li Mo's ears. Yes, after that conversation, Li Mo's attention was no longer on Butterfly Kanae next to him.
That's when I felt that way.
Li Mo hasn't answered yet.
Butterfly Chanae pressed on: "Since you don't like the surroundings, then look at me more. What do you think?"
"You've already said this." Li Mokan turned his gaze to Butterfly Kanae.
When his aura spread out, almost all he could hear along the way were words like "a handsome man and a beautiful woman". All words of praise... He guessed that this had something to do with his demonstrated financial resources?
Li Mo maliciously speculated that there was no lack of "shills" hired by the boss. After all, what if such an important scene encountered a fool? If the scene was ruined, it would not only be a simple loss of face.
"Li-san."
"Ok?"
"Even I would be very angry if you ignored me like this. I'm now beginning to doubt whether your previous compliments were fake." Kanae Kocho had reasonable doubts.
Li Mo focused his eyes on the other person, looking at his slightly puffy cheeks. He smiled and said, "I have never seen you angry, Chanae-san."
"Don't change the subject."
"Okay, I surrender."
Standing on the float, being watched by everyone, I had to bear the burden of being an idol, so I couldn't do anything rude. So I just apologized verbally.
Li Mo looked at Butterfly Chane and slapped something like white powder on her cheek. This reminded him of ancient Japan, whose aesthetic standard was white face and black teeth.
At least, Kocho Kanae's teeth are not black.
"You look beautiful in this outfit, but I don't like the way you look. Clear water removes the lotus, and nature removes the embellishment."
If Li Mo were to comment on the dressing of later generations, then the internet celebrity face would definitely not be within his aesthetic range, and of course he would not talk about bare face. But girls with light makeup are beautiful enough.
Butterfly Kanae said, "Really? You barely made it through. We'll get to the store later."
Tokitoya is right in front of you.
Li Mo came here twice, but neither time he went through the formal channels. Instead, he came to this shop like a thief on a beam.
This is my third time here and my first time as a customer.
"Kaname-san, do you want to say something?"
"Really? I don't know." Butterfly Kanae smiled, looking forward to how he would act.
Li Mo paused and said, "Kanamee-san, is someone like me worth it?"
The relationship between the two has long surpassed friendship. It is in the middle position between friends and lovers. If I have to give an example, it is probably the situation in the animation where the woman plays straight and the man plays the pulling game.
Should we tear off the disguise of this deteriorating friendship?
"Why isn't it worth it? Mr. Li, are you becoming timid at this time?" Butterfly Kanae smiled.
The float was about to arrive at Zhongshi's shop. Li Mo frowned and said, "I am actually a playboy."
"Li Sang, you are the one making the decision now."
The store entrance is right in front of you.
