Where there is darkness, there is light. The two are opposites and coexist.
Just like this beauty village, the outside is a dark environment, but after opening the door, it's a dazzling world.
The dazzling light isn't glaring; instead, it enhances the atmosphere. After seeing the world inside clearly, Ma Hongjun felt that light and darkness should be reversed.
Inside is darkness, outside is light.
The walls, entirely cast from colored crystals, reflect a soft, seven-colored light.
The atmosphere inside is very lively. Food and wine are freely available, and the seating is orderly, filled with all kinds of men, and a handful of women.
The waitresses are all women, and all are stunningly beautiful. They are scantily clad, and their styles vary.
The rough customers don't hold back at all, their greasy hands casually groping.
This is truly a man's paradise!
Ma Hongjun personally experienced what it meant to have his blood surging. If he hadn't circulated the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sutra in time to control his blood and qi, it's no exaggeration to say he would have actually had two nosebleeds.
Such a scene would make it difficult for a normal man to remain rational.
Even the underlings want to be the boss.
Dai Mubai took two glasses of wine from a beautiful woman and handed one to Ma Hongjun.
"Come on, let's sit over there."
Ma Hongjun looked around without saying a word and followed Dai Mubai.
This was his habit; when he arrived at an unfamiliar place, he would first observe the surroundings to familiarize himself with the scene.
However, there were many people here, so he needed to look carefully.
"Don't look anymore. These waitresses are just basic quality; you can take them away for a thousand gold soul coins. If you see someone you like, you can have her sit next to you and take her with you when you leave.
However, I suggest you wait a bit; there are more and better options. Of course, since you're so strong, you can pick a few more."
Dai Mubai appeared very calm, as expected of an old hand, having been to places like this many times. His nonchalant demeanor was telling.
"Time's almost up!"
After Dai Mubai finished speaking, the noise in the room immediately stopped, and the lights focused on the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's event begins! First of all, I'm delighted to announce that we'll be featuring the ace twin sisters tonight.
I wonder who will be chosen?
Please welcome our first performer, Huang Li!
Her martial soul is the oriole, and her voice is clear and melodious. She's a singing prodigy; her voice is captivating and enchanting, making her the perfect choice for the leading lady, fully capable of holding the top spot.
Miss Huang Li, please perform a piece first..."
Then, the elegant woman in yellow moved gracefully, releasing her martial soul, though it lacked spirit rings, seemingly a useless martial soul uncultivable.
A beautiful song rang out, indeed possessing the vocal characteristics of an oriole; it seemed her martial soul had altered her voice.
After humming a beautiful melody, the woman in yellow bowed and retreated.
"Who would like to hire Miss Huang Li?
Bids are now being placed." People were already raising their bidding paddles.
"Three thousand gold soul coins!"
"Three thousand five thousand gold soul coins!"
...
Ma Hongjun was a little confused. He originally thought it was a pure transaction, but now it seemed to be more than that, with an added touch of artistry.
"Mu Bai, what's going on?"
"This is a special kind of recruitment fair. The women here are beautiful, and their names are stage names, not their real names.
Their martial souls are basically uncultivable, or rather, they can't become soul masters, but their martial souls are very special. Just like a sickle or hoe can help with farm work, this oriole's martial soul can help her sing.
The women here each have a special skill. They can sing, dance, cook, or play the zither or flute...
basically, they all possess a skill. They can work as receptionists in hotels, sing and dance in high-end venues, or be stage performers, etc., all normal jobs. Moreover, their beauty and skills can help their employers earn a lot of popularity and gold soul coins.
Of course, the price for hiring them is very high, and it's done through bidding, with the highest bidder winning."
"Are they doing this voluntarily?"
"It's basically voluntary. The Beauty Village has done extensive research on these women's martial souls. They can develop many useless martial souls, turning them into treasures. Although they can't make them Soul Masters, they can make their martial souls useful.
However, they only recruit beautiful women, so training them is very profitable."
It didn't seem as sinister as he'd imagined.
"However, I think most of the people here are sleazy; there don't seem to be many genuinely hired!"
"Most are experienced, unscrupulous merchants. They want to make money and engage in underhanded dealings.
Why do you care what others do? According to you, aren't we sleazy too?"
"Choose carefully, it's on me today!"
Women came and went one after another, each one a stunning beauty. Ma Hongjun didn't know how to choose; he wanted all these beauties.
However, the hiring fee is truly expensive, starting at at least three thousand gold soul coins. This fee is calculated annually, and the employment relationship will be terminated after one year, at which point the employment rules will need to be re-established.
"Hurry up and choose, they're almost gone!" Dai Mubai urged.
"No rush, wait a bit longer, the best ones are usually at the end." Ma Hongjun remembered saying at the beginning that the ace twin sisters would be there to anchor the event.
"The hiring fees get more expensive towards the end, so hurry up and choose."
"It's okay, it's your treat anyway!"
...
Finally, the twin sisters appeared.
"Please welcome Shuang'er and Miss Feifei!"
Dressed in slightly transparent black cheongsams and high heels, they walked in perfect unison to the center of the stage; their long legs, covered in black stockings, were particularly eye-catching.
Exquisite curves, tall figures.
Stunningly beautiful, captivating all!
"Shuang'er and Feifei's martial souls are clothes. They have very weak innate soul power, but they can cultivate, although slowly, and they are not yet soul masters. However, they can use their martial souls to conjure all kinds of clothing. The clothes they are wearing now are transformed from their martial souls. Moreover
, no matter what kind of clothes you can imagine or draw, they can conjure them with their martial souls.
With such martial souls, they are perfect candidates for fashion design.
This ability is a great skill for making money.
Of course, it also saves us the trouble of buying clothes for them. And with such beautiful twin sisters, whatever clothes you want them to wear, they can conjure them up.
If it weren't for the fact that the sisters didn't want to stay in our Beauty Village, we wouldn't want to let them leave.
With this martial soul, you can say that as long as you can design good clothing, you can earn a steady stream of gold soul coins."
After hearing the host's description, the audience erupted in excitement. As expected of the ace twin sisters, they truly have something to be proud of.
Putting aside their exquisite appearance, their unique martial souls alone are enough to increase their value several times over.
"Shuang'er and Feifei are free, but their employment is limited to one year. After one year, their freedom cannot be forced.
The bidding begins now, with a starting price of 10,000 gold soul coins. Each bid must increase by at least 100 gold soul coins."
The host had barely finished speaking when the audience erupted in cheers, frantically raising their bidding paddles, all wanting to hire the twin sisters.
"11,000 gold soul coins!
" "12,000 gold soul coins!"
"13,000 gold soul coins!" "
...
Ma Hongjun was also incredibly excited. He saw a huge business opportunity in this. This natural fashion design martial soul was a money-making machine!
No matter which world it was, as long as there were women, their love of beauty would never diminish. Just look at the universities in his previous life; they even had a dedicated fashion design major. The market was enormous.
In Douluo Continent, from Ma Hongjun's observation, their clothing was also unique and very trendy, especially the female soul masters. They loved changing clothes and had many outfits. Most importantly, because of their soul master cultivation, they had great figures, so they had high demands for clothing. This made the fashion industry in Douluo Continent far ahead of its time. Female soul
masters were a perfect consumer group.
If he could get these two twin sisters, Ma Hongjun could bring all kinds of clothing from his previous life to this world.
Hanfu, kimono, hanbok, American clothing... and modern trendy clothes, etc., could all be showcased in this world. There was bound to be something that would be popular.
Combining the characteristics of clothing from both worlds, if it developed well, it was very likely that he could completely monopolize the clothing market in Douluo Continent."
"Mu Bai, those two beauties are the only ones left. No matter the price, you have to win them!
Trust me, you won't lose out!"
Dai Mu Bai wanted to roll his eyes, thinking to himself,
"Of course you won't lose out; I'm the one who will."
"There are no other options now, only these two. I'll get them for you no matter how expensive they are."
Dai Mu Bai sighed helplessly. It seemed that tens of thousands of gold soul coins were still a significant expense for a prince like him.
However, Ma Hongjun felt it was worth it, no matter how many gold soul coins it cost.
This clothing spirit not only had a huge business opportunity but also offered a strong sense of excitement.
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but think… (
