The ladyboy, ToeoCo, looks as calm as usual:
"What's the big deal?
At most, I'll just go on the run again.
I only have two more years to live anyway.
A barefoot person isn't afraid of someone wearing shoes. Who should be afraid of whom?
I'm just worried about where to get the money to buy medicine for my illness.
I actually wish someone would come after me.
It would create an opportunity for me to get some money."
..
JiiXi's eyelids twitch wildly:
"Of course I'm not worried about you.
I'm only worried about myself.
I'm worried that, if something happens to you, it might implicate me.
After all, we signed a secret contract.
I'm your contract Lord.
You haven't even done anything for me yet, and if you end up hurting me instead.
Then, saving your life would be a really bad deal for me, wouldn't it?"
..
The ladyboy, ToeoCo, grins:
"If something happens to me, it will indeed have an impact on you.
You can only pray to the gods and Buddha to keep me out of trouble."
..
JiiXi goes crazy:
"Then you can threaten me in a roundabout way, can't you?"
..
The ladyboy, ToeoCo, says calmly:
"Of course. That's also the price of being a contract Lord."
..
JiiXi is depressed and speechless.
He picks up the small metal wine bottle, that fell on the grass, and shakes it.
Then, he takes a sip of the wine out of boredom.
..
After a while, JiiXi continues:
"Today is my first day at work.
How did you find me?
I specifically chose a remote and secluded place, to hide for a while.
Some of those Golden Garment socialites, are a bit terrifying.
They don't have X-ray vision, but why do they keep staring at that part of me?
It makes me so nervous, and uncomfortable."
..
The ladyboy, ToeoCo, points at the few scattered manjusaka flowers, by the lake:
"After all, I'm a super assassin.
I was born with a assassin's intuition.
You have an innate virgin body, and a lonely nature.
The manjusaka is an extremely lonely plant."
..
JiiXi turns his head, and stares blankly at the manjusaka flowers, by the lake.
The withered manjusaka flowers, shine with an intense scarlet color.
The flamboyant petals, are mottled like blood.
The manjusaka, is the strongest lonely plant.
The flowers and leaves, will never meet.
When it blooms, all the leaves fall off, leaving only the flowers.
As long as there is still one leaf left, the flower will never bloom.
..
The ladyboy, ToeoCo, talks to himself:
"An innate virgin body, is so rare.
You're the only one, in Saigon City in the past few decades.
The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
I wanted to come and see, who this guy is, the one whose fate is even more tragic than mine.
I never expected it to be you, my contract Lord.
Fate is really amazing."
..
JiiXi remains silent.
He looks at the scarlet petals of the manjusaka.
He looks silly and is just staring blankly out of boredom.
..
The ladyboy, ToeoCo, continues to talk to himself:
"For us innate ladyboys, it doesn't affect our ability to carry on the family line.
You have an innate virgin body, which means you're an innate eunuch.
You're much more miserable than me.
Although I have a congenital terminal illness and can only live for two more years.
Compared to you, I'm not the most miserable one anymore.
Getting to know you makes me feel at ease.
We are both wanderers under heaven’s edge;
Why must we have met before to know each other?"
..
The Princess Sisterhood has extremely strict requirements, for male geishas and female geishas:
"Must be from a noble family of a century-old lineage or above.
Have a top-notch figure and appearance, and outstanding talent and temperament.
Have a natural body fragrance of a virgin boy or a virgin girl."
..
And the most stringent requirements are:
"Male geishas: Innate virgin body, that is, a natural eunuch."
"Female geishas: Innate virgin girl, that is, a lifelong virgin."
..
For decades, no one in Saigon City could meet the requirements for male geishas.
JiiXi was born with a strange body fragrance of a virgin boy, and also has an innate virgin body.
So, as a matter of course, and as he wished, he became:
The only male geisha, in the Princess Sisterhood of Saigon City.
..
Inside the Princess Sisterhood, it's just like the imperial harem in ancient times.
All the members are noble socialites and newly rich ladies.
JiiXi is like an eunuch in the ancient imperial harem.
He entertains the socialites and ladies, and accompanies them to drink and have fun.
..
And the ladyboy, ToeoCo.
Is like a man pretending to be an imperial concubine.
He has successfully infiltrated the imperial harem and is thriving there.
