Chapter 4: The Holy Female? The Red Rose Mark on the Collarbone

"Miss, please put your hands out. This is the rule here. Please cooperate." Nan Yu barely withdrew his gaze, rubbed his nose awkwardly, and took out a pair of silver-white handcuffs from his waist.

With two fine "click" sounds, Ye Li happily received two silver bracelets.

The handcuffs are very thin, only half a centimeter wide, and very light, so you won’t feel anything strange when wearing them on your hands.

[This bracelet not only restricts the host's actions, but also inhibits the host from using his supernatural powers. ]

The two walked around in the auction house. As they walked, Ye Li looked around. The carved railings and jade bricks, the decorations were exquisite, and the place was magnificent. Compared with the ancient beast world, this place seemed to be more advanced...

"Is High Priest Shengyun here? Lord Jinxi asked you to test the level of this female." Nanyu knocked on the door respectfully, then walked in with Ye Li.

Sheng Yun slowly closed the book in her hand, her whole body exuding a holy and noble aura. She glanced at Ye Li, and without asking anything, she said lightly, "Come on."

Ye Li blinked her round aqua blue eyes and looked at the priest. While she was impressed by the mysterious beauty of the priest, she wondered in her heart, they haven't said anything yet, but they already know the purpose of their coming?

Do many people usually seek out Holy Rhythm Priests to reawaken the female level mark? Probably not many.

"Come this way." Sheng Yun waved to Ye Li and turned to walk deeper into the room.

After awakening their special powers, the fertility level of females in the Beast World will generally be at least one level higher.

Some people even upgraded their fertility level directly from purple to green or even yellow, which are closely related to supernatural attributes.

In the depths of the room, there is a huge upright disc with all kinds of bizarre characters painted around it. As Holy Rhyme continues to operate on it, a holy and mysterious purple light emanates from the center of the entire disc.

"Okay, now put your hands on it."

The moment the jade-white palm touched the huge disc, the purple light emanating from the disc instantly turned blue, and then gradually changed to cyan and green.

“Do these colors have any special meaning?”

[Females are divided into seven levels: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Purple is the lowest and red is the highest. The higher the female level, the faster the female's cultivation speed, the higher the pregnancy rate, and the better the talent of the offspring born. At the same time, the male who signs a partner contract with this female will get more benefits. ]

[Females with red reproductive marks are known as holy females. According to legend, males who sign contracts with holy females can directly upgrade their cultivation by one level. However, the number of holy females is very, very small. The number of females with red marks in the entire continent or ocean can be counted on one hand.]

Hearing this, a question popped up in Ye Li's mind, "Will the males force the females with higher fertility levels to sign a contract with them?"

[No, host. Females have the right to unilaterally break the mate contract. Every male beastman has only one chance to conclude a contract in his lifetime.]

[Once abandoned by a female, they will become rootless beasts. Not only will their cultivation stagnate, but they will also gradually lose their humanity and eventually become irrational beasts.]

[This is also the reason why many male orcs with strong talents and abilities have never had a partner.]

"So will my fertility level be red?"

Yiyi shook her head. [Although you are the host, the fertility level is red, orange or yellow. It is random, with a ratio of 5:25:70. Therefore, the yellow fertility level is most likely for ordinary players. But yellow is already very good, far exceeding 90% of the females in the Beast World.]

As soon as the voice in my mind finished ringing, a dazzling red light flashed on the huge upright disc.

The priestess slowly closed the book in her hands. Strangely, she did not seem shocked by the scene before her.

However, Yi Yi in his mind and Nan Yu who was watching from the side did not seem so calm.

It’s amazing. I have led so many hosts, but this is the first time I see the fertility level mark is red.

Ye Li only felt a warmth on her collarbone. She lowered her eyes to observe, and a bright red, gorgeous rose appeared out of thin air on her collarbone.

The priest turned his head and looked at Ye Li's collarbone. After seeing the red rose pattern, a look of understanding emerged in his eyes.

After the Holy Rhythm Priest whispered in Nanyu's ear, the latter's eyes flashed with incomparable excitement.

That look was like looking at a rare treasure that is one in a million.

The silver bracelet on his hand was replaced with a silver iron cage that was a circle larger than the original one. The entire cage was clean and sparkled with silver light under the illumination of the lighting crystal.

"Come in quickly, female Snow Fox. We have to go see Master Jinxi as soon as possible."

"Can I not go in?" Ye Li asked tentatively, but received a negative answer from the latter.

"These are the rules here, please cooperate. I promise that as long as you behave, I will never use violence against you."

Nanyu put on a gentlemanly yet irresistible smile.

"Okay." Ye Li bent down and took two steps into the cage, muttering in dissatisfaction, "Can't we change to a bigger cage? It's hard to move in here."

"Okay, I will report this matter to Lord Jinxi." Nanyu laughed awkwardly, took out the key and locked the cage.

Ye Li glanced at the key in Nan Yu's hand, which was no different from the key to the gate before she traveled through time.

Nan Yu stood up and pushed the cage that Ye Li was in around the corridor.

After learning that Lord Jinxi was currently busy with something very important, he had no choice but to push Ye Li away with regret and would notify her later.

Nan Yu walked to a door with 101 written on it and stopped, looking down at Ye Li in the cage, "Master Jinxi is busy now, you go to 101 and stay for a while, then I will bring Master Jinxi to see you."

After he finished speaking, he took out a key and opened the door next to him.

As the door opened, soft sobbing sounds continued from inside the house.

Ye Li looked around the room. The dim light reflected the faces of beautiful women one after another. They looked panicked and scared. From time to time, someone would raise her hand and carefully wipe the corners of her eyes.

The females that will be auctioned this time are all kept here.

Nan Yu pushed the cage that held Ye Li inside, looked around for empty spaces, and finally chose to sit next to a beautiful female with cat ears who was resting with her eyes closed.

"Don't worry about going hungry. We will deliver food to you when the time comes. Please stay here and don't have any unnecessary thoughts."

The light outside the door was completely blocked. Nanyu locked the door that held them, and the footsteps gradually became smaller.

At the moment the door was closed, the beautiful female cat-eared girl beside him opened her eyes instantly, and her light pink round pupils were particularly bright in the dim environment.

*

The cat-eared female simply tested the width between the iron bars, then carefully stretched her head out.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Ye Li intuitively felt the meaning of the sentence "Cats are made of liquid."

The woman used her bone-shrinking skills to squeeze out of the narrow gap in the iron cage.

The cat-eared female noticed Ye Li's gaze, gave her a warning look, and then slowly walked towards the door.

[Triggering the story node, now assigning the host a side quest: Help Catwoman escape from the auction house. If successful, you will be rewarded with 500 points and your ability level will be upgraded by one level. If you fail, you will be randomly punished. ]

[Because the task is somewhat difficult, the host is prompted to use ice to condense into a key shape and try to unlock it. ]

Key to unlock?

A pure white light flickered in Ye Li's palm, and after a moment, an ice cone as long as a finger condensed. Ye Li recalled it carefully in her mind, and the tip of the ice cone kept changing.

After a moment, it successfully condensed into the shape of the key in memory.

Ye Li held the key tightly and fumbled quickly at the keyhole of the cage. With a crisp "click", the iron door that imprisoned her opened a crack.

“Success!”

Ye Li quietly came out from inside and walked towards the door, and found that the beautiful catwoman who had escaped from the iron cage before was looking down and thinking about how to open the door.

The cat-eared female fiddled with a piece of wire in her hand, but still couldn't open the door in front of her.

“Let me try!”

Before she finished her words, Catwoman suddenly jumped up from the ground, leaped three meters away, and looked at Ye Li with a vigilant look.

Ye Li smacked her lips, really envious of those who were good at long jump and could land so lightly.

Seeing the person in front of him making way for him, Ye Li kept changing the shape of the ice crystal in his hand, trying to pry open the door in front of him.

Seven or eight keys were condensed in succession, and when the energy points were almost consumed, the door finally opened as expected.

Before the surprise in their eyes faded, they suddenly heard the sound of "clicking" footsteps coming from far away outside the door. They immediately became alert and stood on both sides of the door.
