Chapter 2 Men also have virginity marks
While thinking about her points, Ning Qi rubbed her itchy fingers, her gaze falling on the man's extremely unnaturally drooping hand.
"As you can see, we have severed all the tendons in his hands and feet, and he is blind. There is no need to worry about his past as a cultivator. This servant has no possibility of harming you. Moreover..." The shopkeeper smiled meaningfully and kicked the cage, "He is in good physical condition. You can treat him however you like after you bring him home."
The cage rattled as he kicked it, but the man's expression remained unchanged throughout, as if he couldn't hear the malicious jeers from the audience.
People have already started bidding on the first floor.
Ning Qi clenched her fingers and turned to look at Yan Chongyan, only to see him holding a communication talisman and listening to something with a serious expression.
Immediately afterward, he stood up abruptly and said to the other disciples, "There is a berserk monster roaming fifty miles west of the city. It is probably level three or higher and has already injured more than a dozen people. The situation is extremely urgent. We must go there immediately!"
"Hey, what about him?" Ning Qi suddenly stood up and asked.
Yan Chongyan looked at her with his light-colored eyes, which carried a hint of compassion. "The safety of the people is more important. We're afraid we can only think of a solution for Junior Brother Xiao's matter later. Princess, please go back."
"At least leave one of him to take back," Ning Qi said.
But the others had already picked up their swords and followed the male protagonist out, leaving her behind.
"Host, this is a perfect opportunity to increase your Devotion Points. Let's hurry over there. Even if we get a minor injury, we'll still get the points."
Ning Qi glanced back at the bustling scene on the first floor. Because the starting price was low, the bidding became increasingly fierce, and the price continued to rise.
The air seemed to grow hotter, and the motionless man in black on the stage became the only cold figure.
She really didn't want to give up the opportunity to increase her infatuation points, but this man's looks were just too much to her liking...
While she hesitated, the system said, "Host, don't let irrelevant people delay our mission. This person has already killed three Huaguang Sect disciples and is an extremely dangerous individual. You must not let a wolf into the house."
"But didn't the boss just say that he's out of danger?"
The system scoffed, "Do you know what happened to the person who bought him in the original book?"
"What was the result?"
"He bit through the man's carotid artery."
Ning Qi gasped.
The system continued, "If you don't want to leave the mission world early, you should give up the idea of buying him back as soon as possible. This kind of person is inherently cold-blooded and lacks emotion. No matter how good you are to him, it won't work."
Ning Qi caught up with Yan Chongyan and the others as they left Nanfeng Pavilion, accompanied by Qian Yu.
Her mission was almost complete, and she didn't want to cause any further trouble.
After taking a few steps, one of the female cultivators hesitated slightly: "Senior brother, are we really going to abandon Junior Brother Xiao?"
"Things have come to this, and he has already ruined our sect's reputation. We might as well let that demon fend for himself," another person said.
Yan Chongyan pursed his lips and remained silent, his gaze fixed on Ning Qi. He seemed oblivious to the conversation of the others, and was instead trying to think of more persuasive words to drive her away.
Ning Qi didn't care. She was thick-skinned and determined to go with Yan Chongyan no matter what he said.
The female cultivator hesitated and said, "But I heard that those people tortured and killed Junior Brother Xiao's cat first, and then hung it up in his residence as a show of defiance, which is why Junior Brother Xiao..."
"What's a cat?" one of the disciples exclaimed. "Is a human life more important? Just kill it if you want."
Ning Qi's attention was instantly drawn to it, and she asked the female cultivator, "You mean that person from earlier, he owns a cat?"
"Yeah, I even petted that cat." The senior sister didn't know why she was focusing on this.
Ning Qi immediately turned around and said, "I'm not going with you."
Yan Chongyan called her name twice from behind, but because the exorcism was urgent, and seeing that she didn't respond, he instructed Ning Xi's guards to protect her well, and then left with everyone.
Ning Qi hurried upstairs, and because she was walking so fast, she inhaled a few breaths of cold air, which made her throat feel a little itchy.
Fortunately, the auction was still ongoing, so she quickly gestured for Qianyu to raise her paddle.
The system's voice was in an uproar: "What are you doing? Why did you come back? Aren't you going to do the mission?!"
Ningxi said to it, "I wasn't originally part of this story. Going along would be a bonus, but not going wouldn't be a loss, would it?"
"Didn't I just tell you? This person is extremely dangerous. If you provoke him, you could lose your life. Okay, even if you survive, do you think you'll keep your points after the male lead finds out? Do you still want to go home?"
"I know, I will keep it from the male lead."
The system remained silent for a while. "I don't understand why you insist on buying it."
"A person who would avenge a cat can't be a bad person."
"Those were just excuses for him to kill. Do you really think someone like that would have any deep feelings for a cat?" the system said. "Do you even know who he is?"
"who?"
"Xiao Sui".
Ning Qi frowned. The name sounded familiar. "It doesn't seem to have much to do with my storyline."
"It has little to do with you, but it has a lot to do with the whole book," the system said. "He is the biggest villain in the book, a demon god who almost destroyed the world! If it weren't for the male protagonist turning the tide at the last moment, this small world would have collapsed because of him."
Ning Qi was startled, but only for a moment. She continued to urge Qian Yu to raise the price. At least until the end of her story, this person had not become a demon god. Why should she be afraid of his future identity?
"If you insist on getting involved with him, you'll have to bear the consequences of affecting the plot yourself." The system had no other choice but to leave without saying anything more.
Ning Xi quickly won out with his strength, buying the most dangerous villain in the book for a price of three thousand five hundred taels, which was not too high.
The auction ended, and it was completely dark outside, with the Milky Way faintly glowing.
Ning Qi waited for a moment, then followed the boss to the third floor and entered a lavishly decorated room. The bed was very large, with overlapping curtains. There seemed to be a figure inside, but it was not clear, creating a somewhat hazy atmosphere.
However, the various shaped tools displayed in the wooden crate by the wall seemed too straightforward.
"The two people you booked are all ready for you. Have a pleasant evening," the boss said obsequiously, trying to close the door for her.
Ning Qi quickly called out to him, "Hey! I don't need to go with them..."
The owner, a somewhat flamboyant man, leaned against the door and smiled at her. "Miss, why not use it? The experience tonight is a specialty here. If you are dissatisfied with their service, you don't need to wipe off their virginity marks. Just leave them here, and we will train them according to your needs until you are satisfied."
"Wait, the... the virginity mark?"
"You probably don't know this is our secret recipe. When a man who has never been to the broth takes the pill, a red mark will appear on his body. He cannot remove it on his own and the buyer must wipe it off himself."
Ning Xi fell silent. Why were there so many rules?
"By the way, because that Huaguang Sect disciple is a special case and might be a tough nut to crack, just call us anytime if you need anything, and we can help you into any position you like."
"Alright, I won't take up any more of your time." The boss winked at Ning Qi and closed the door for her.
Ning Qi rubbed her forehead, turned around and saw two vague figures on the large bed, and felt a headache coming on.
Although she was attracted to the man at first sight, as a princess, staying overnight at Nanfeng Pavilion could seriously jeopardize her points if rumors spread and reached the male lead's ears.
No, Ning Xi walked to the bedside, lifted the curtain, and saw two men sitting on the bed, their clothes changed into thin gauze that could be easily untied with one hand.
She glanced at Xiao Sui and said to them, "Come with me."
The handsome young man she had casually bought showed no joy on his face; in fact, his lips were somewhat pale. "Do you have any complaints about me? Why don't you enjoy my body..."
As he spoke, he gently pulled off his shirt, revealing his fair and thin chest. With his head bowed and his ears red, he said, "Please have mercy on me."
Ning Xi was startled and quickly helped him pull his clothes up. "We don't need to stay here. Let's talk about it when we get back."
The boy looked up with red eyes and said anxiously, "No, we can't leave here unless you help us remove the 'virginity mark'."
"..." Ning Qi took a deep breath. It was just a moment of kindness, but now she's really gotten herself into trouble.
"Where is it? I'll wipe it for you."
The boy immediately showed a delighted expression, pulled down one sleeve, and a red dot was clearly visible on his thin right arm.
The spot was fine, Ning Qi reached out to rub it off for him, but the boy lowered his eyes and said shyly, "I might need your bodily fluids."
Ning Qi was already screaming in her heart; Nanfeng Pavilion really had a lot of dirty tricks up its sleeve.
“Saliva will do?” she asked.
The boy nodded.
Ning Xi licked her fingers, pressed them against his upper arm, and rubbed them a dozen times. The red spots on the boy's skin gradually disappeared under her movements, but they stained her fingertips red.
"Why is it dyed?" Ning Qi asked.
"Don't worry!" the boy said anxiously. "This can be washed off with the special medicine made by the Pavilion Master. The stain is to prevent us from rubbing it off ourselves."
"Okay, all right." Ning Qi looked at his clean, white arm. "Now you can rest assured, right?"
The boy stared at the spot where the red dot disappeared, then knelt down at Ning Qi's feet with a thud, grabbing her skirt. "Master, I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life."
Ning Qi was very annoyed to see him crying so hard again, so she asked Qian Yu to take him out to find something to eat, since the child was too thin.
The room finally quieted down, and she turned her gaze to Xiao Sui.
From the moment she entered until what just happened, the man remained quietly seated by the bed, without making a sound, as if he were not alive.
Ning Qi was startled by her own thoughts. She raised her finger and brought it to Xiao Sui's nose, feeling the unusually hot temperature.
"Come on," he suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.
"Ah," Ning Qi responded, "Let me help you wipe off that virginity mark too, you..."
She glanced at his drooping hands. "Let me roll up your sleeves for you."
"I said do it." Xiao Sui raised his head.
Ning Qi was startled by his blunt words, "Huh? I didn't buy you back for..."
"Isn't that right? Then why would you come to a place like this?"
Ning Qi was about to argue, but then she remembered that she had come for Yan Chongyan, so she kept quiet.
Well, she's a villain after all, so it's normal for her to be more aggressive. As long as she wipes off the virginity mark and leaves with them, he'll realize that he's different from those lustful people.
Ning Qi rolled up Xiao Sui's sleeve. His arms weren't particularly strong, but they had no excess fat and exuded a sense of burgeoning power.
But there is no red dot.
She looked around but found nothing, completely unaware that Xiao Sui's breathing had become heavy.
Ning Qi suspected it was on the other arm, so she rolled up the other sleeve, but it still wasn't there.
She straightened up. "Um...where is your virginity mark?"
"I don't know," Xiao Sui said expressionlessly.
Oh right, he can't see.
Ning Qi was in a dilemma, as none of the areas that had been exposed so far were yet.
Wouldn't that mean I'd have to get a full body checkup?
