The courtesans’ barefooted drum dance ended.
“Magnificent! Absolutely magnificent!”
Cao Ren leaped to his feet, applauding, while Cao Hong, with a satisfied look, stroked his beard and nodded.
“Well? Yan Province parties are quite something, aren’t they?”
“Ah, well… I suppose so.”
I had never considered the appeal of bare feet, so I could only give a noncommittal answer.
I recalled hearing that foot fetishes had a particular significance in Chinese history. Even before the late Han Dynasty, there was the legend of Zhao Feiyan, where the emperor was captivated by the sight of his concubine’s bare feet. It seemed to hold true.
Cao Ren, in particular, seemed overly excited, pulling one of the courtesans to sit beside him.
I knew Cao Ren as one of the most valiant generals among Cao Cao’s kinsmen, but seeing this side of him was a bit…disconcerting.
Well, everyone had their own preferences. And if we were talking about personal lives and preferences, Cao Cao himself… well, let’s just say there was plenty to discuss.
“Are you not entertained? Perhaps the girls didn’t perform to their best.”
Cao Hong’s words made the other courtesans flinch, their faces filled with fear.
“No, no, it’s not that. It’s just that I’ve… never seen a party like this before.”
“Hmm, is that so? Perhaps you lack experience with women?”
“There’s no need to…”
“Hahaha, what’s there to hide? I invited you here at Mengde’s request.”
Cao Hong took out a few gold coins from his pocket and tossed them towards the courtesans. They scrambled to collect the glittering coins scattered on the floor.
“Mengde said that a talented young man had joined our family, a young man who saved the lives of his father and brothers, and that we should take special care of him.”
“Ah, yes. I’m already incredibly grateful for the hospitality.”
“Then you should familiarize yourself with this place. The woman who runs this establishment is the most remarkable woman in Yan Province. Knowing her won’t hurt.”
“What?”
A remarkable woman? Was there a female warrior in this era?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
While the Cao and Xiahou families feasted, a courtesan slipped out and hurried down a corridor. She whispered a report to the two guards stationed outside a secluded room deep within the brothel.
“Manager, it’s Xiang.”
“Let her in.”
A refined female voice responded, and the door opened. The room was filled with gold, silver, treasures, and bamboo slips.
Amidst the treasures, a woman sat at a table, expertly manipulating an abacus and writing on bamboo slips. She appeared to be in her late twenties or early thirties, a beautiful woman with elegant makeup and fair skin. She was Wei Hong, the manager of the brothel and a wealthy merchant who supported Cao Cao and his family in Yan Province.
“Manager, Lord Cao’s party is in full swing.”
“Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun come here often, don’t they?”
“The young Cao general you mentioned is also here. He just arrived and is enjoying the party.”
At Xiang’s words, Wei Hong paused her calculations.
“The young Cao? Are you referring to the one who recently arrived from Wu Commandery?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“The one who gathered the warriors in Xu Province and rescued the Governor’s father and family?”
“Yes. Therefore, I’m reporting this to you, Manager.”
Wei Hong pondered for a moment, then picked up a brush.
“Cao Xiu of Wu Commandery, was it? He’s a distant relative of Lord Mengde, but he saved his father’s life, so he must be held in high regard…”
Wei Hong added Cao Xiu’s name to a bamboo slip containing the names of the Cao and Xiahou families.
“The fact that he saved Lord Mengde’s father makes him someone to watch. Prepare the most beautiful girls in the brothel.”
“Should I send more courtesans?”
“Yes, and I should go see this young man for myself.”
Wei Hong rose from her seat, intending to meet Cao Xiu personally.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“Sir, the Manager is here.”
“Manager Wei? Excellent. Bring her in.”
The door opened, and an elegantly dressed noblewoman entered. She was so strikingly beautiful that I almost stood up and approached her.
“The heroes of the realm gathered in one place. Are you enjoying the party?”
“Oh, Manager Wei. The party is excellent, as always.”
Cao Hong nodded with a satisfied expression, and she bowed politely before sitting between Cao Hong and me.
“Wenlie, this is Manager Wei Hong, the wealthiest merchant in Yan Province.”
Wei Hong?
I was momentarily confused. Wei Hong wasn’t a historical figure, but a character from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
She was described as a wealthy merchant in Yan Province who supported Cao Cao and provided him with funds when he raised his army under the pretext of suppressing rebels.
“Wei Hong… you say?”
“Yes, that is my name.”
“Not Wei Zi?”
“!?”
Cao Hong and Wei Hong’s expressions changed instantly.
“Young Master, how do you know that name?”
“What? I thought…”
“Wei Zi is Manager Wei’s older brother.”
Ah, I see.
“It’s been a while since I’ve heard my brother’s name. He died fighting against the traitor Dong Zhuo’s army…”
“Ah, I apologize.”
“It’s alright. Please, enjoy the party.”
Wei Hong smiled graciously and clapped her hands.
One of the courtesans attending Wei Hong approached me. She was as beautiful as Wei Hong herself.
“Please take good care of this gentleman.”
“Yes, Manager…”
She sat close beside me, and my heart pounded.
“And please accept this.”
“This is…?”
Wei Hong took out a small plaque from her pocket.
It was a silver plaque, intricately crafted.
“This is a silver token. Show it to any member of the merchant guilds in Yan Province, and they will provide you with silk and grain.”
As expected of the wealthiest merchant in Yan Province, she gave me a token that granted me access to resources from merchants throughout the region.
“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll leave you heroes to your merrymaking.”
“Manager Wei! Thanks to you, we’re having a wonderful time.”
Xiahou Dun raised his cup and laughed heartily. Wei Hong smiled faintly and quietly excused herself. Seeing Wei Hong gave me much to think about.
In these chaotic times, Wei Zi and Wei Hong were the financial backers of the Cao family in Yan Province. And that’s why Wei Zi’s son, Wei Zhen, would later become a minister, serving under Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Rui, and Cao Fang, the four emperors of Cao Wei.
“I’m meeting many remarkable people.”
“You’ll meet many more, from powerful magnates and merchants to Daoist priests. But for now, let’s eat and drink, shall we?”
At Cao Hong’s words, the courtesan beside me refilled my cup. The combination of her fair skin and the subtle scent of her perfume made my head spin.
She leaned against me, her revealing clothes brushing against my skin. I had been indifferent to the barefooted dance, but now, I felt a surge of excitement.
“Wenlie, do you like that girl?”
“Well…”
“A man shouldn’t refuse the company of ten women, let alone one!”
Cao Hong laughed loudly and told me to enjoy the party to the fullest.
“What’s… your name?”
“I am called Huayan.”
A young woman named Yan with the surname Hua. She smiled brightly and leaned closer, and with the alcohol warming my blood, I felt a stirring below.
After the late-night party, she led me to a room.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“Mmm!”
As soon as we entered, I pulled her into an embrace and kissed her. Her red lips were moist, and she opened her mouth, her tongue meeting mine.
It wasn’t just a simple kiss; our tongues intertwined, and a lewd scent filled the air. Her breath was minty fresh.
I pulled her closer, her soft body pressing against mine.
After our tongues had tangled and we had exchanged saliva, Huayan gently reached for my clothes and slowly untied my sash.
My robes loosened, and she knelt before me, undoing my trousers. My hardened penis sprang free, slapping against her face as she pulled down my undergarments.
She looked up at it with wide, surprised eyes. Uh, that was a bit awkward…
“Young Master, I’ve… only been taught, I haven’t actually… done this before, so I may be clumsy.”
“Even better!”
Wasn’t a woman admitting to being inexperienced even more arousing?
She took my erection in her hand and opened her small mouth as wide as she could, slowly taking me in.
The sensation of her mouth and tongue swirling around me was intoxicating. She held my legs and bobbed her head, filling the room with sensual sounds.
“Slurp, slurp, mmmf-”
I felt myself on the verge of climaxing from the intense pleasure, so I pulled her up by her shoulders.
She quietly led the way to the bed and lay down demurely, slowly untying her own robes.
She seemed like a well-trained courtesan. But even though her actions were practiced, her face was flushed with shyness.
I couldn’t hold back any longer.
Her flushed face, her bright red lips, her throat bobbing as she nervously swallowed, her beautiful breasts and smooth waist revealed as she opened her robes…
Everything about her was alluring, and she was undressing before me, wanting me.
I tossed aside my clothes and climbed onto the bed, pulling her into my arms.
I ran my hands along her body, finding the incredibly wet mound between her legs. She trembled at my touch, her eyes squeezed shut as she spread her legs.
I rubbed my hardened cock against her entrance, then thrust inside.
“Ah!”
I pushed hard, but she was incredibly tight, her entrance clenching around me, refusing entry. I pushed harder, forcing my way in, and finally broke through.
“Haa, haa…”
“Mmm…”
Huayan clung to me, tears welling in her eyes.
What followed was nothing more than animalistic thrusting of her hips, an onslaught of frantic movement.
Her tightness around me, the more I pounded, the more her fluids glistened, bringing wave after wave of pleasure.
I climaxed quickly, spilling my seed deep inside her.
-Spurt, spurt
Of course, it didn’t end there. I continued making love to her until morning, waking up in the same room with her beside me.

just another night in Yan Province! 🍷😉
