The Demon Realm.
Ming Qiancheng carried the little dumpling back to the bedroom where Li Ji had lived before her death. He saw that the bedroom was decorated with bright red everywhere, including the bed sheets, which were so bright red that they were glaring.
Li Ji was born with a love for the alluring color of bright red, as vibrant as fire.
Ming Qiancheng remembered that he had asked her a question casually, but Li Ji answered it with unusual seriousness.
She said, "Bright red is so beautiful! Everyone says I look just like a fairy, so if I wear the brightest bright red, I can be a femme fatale, right?"
When Ming Qiancheng first met Li Ji, she was an orphan with no parents, captured by human traffickers and taken to a brothel to learn how to serve men.
Unfortunately, Li Ji was extremely proud, and no one could tame her. She was beaten by the brothel madam every day, and eventually learned swordsmanship, selling her art but not her body.
Because of her alluring face, she stood out in the brothel at the young age of sixteen.
Because of her personality, she drove away many customers who wanted to take advantage of her, and her reputation became even more famous than that of the courtesan in the brothel.
Many people come to see her practice swordsmanship, but she only practices with people she finds pleasing to the eye. Even if someone offers a fortune, she will still refuse if she doesn't like it.
It wasn't until this point that the madam in the brothel realized that Li Ji was slowly slipping out of her control, but she couldn't bear to lose Li Ji, her cash cow, and wanted to drug her and sell her virginity.
Around that time, Ming Qiancheng was searching for Ming Beiya's whereabouts and came to the human realm. By a twist of fate, he entered the building and casually took away Li Ji's nameplate.
When Li Ji heard that someone dared to ask her to sell herself, she grabbed her sword and rushed to the room where Ming Qiancheng was. She kicked the door open, and when her gaze fell on Ming Qiancheng's face, she was so surprised that she couldn't even utter a word.
Ming Qiancheng glanced at Li Ji with his slightly upturned phoenix eyes and said indifferently, "Come in since you're here."
"..."
Li Ji was still in a daze and didn't realize what Ming Qiancheng was saying until the madam pinched her arm hard and she was pushed inside, after which the door was closed.
Ming Qiancheng's subordinates wisely turned and left, leaving only Li Ji and him in the room.
"Having served others"
Looking at Li Ji, Ming Qiancheng went straight to the point and asked.
"other people?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ji frowned slightly, gripped the sword in her hand tightly, and suddenly raised it. "Who dares to make me serve them?"
Because the sleeves and collars of the clothes in the building were all wide, when Li Ji raised her hand like this, the sleeve slid down to her forearm, leaving a patch of bluish-purple marks.
Upon catching sight of this scene, Ming Qiancheng curled his lips into a slight sneer.
Upon hearing the laughter, Li Ji was about to question them when she noticed the injury on her forearm. She hurriedly pulled down her sleeve to cover it, pursing her lips and refusing to speak any further.
"You were beaten for not serving?"
Ming Qiancheng gently held the teacup to his lips and took a sip, his movements languid and casual.
"Aren't the people in this brothel living worse than animals? If they don't obey, they get beaten; if they don't like someone, they don't get fed."
Li Ji spoke disdainfully, took a few steps to Ming Qiancheng, and slammed the sword in her hand onto the table. "Since you've chosen me tonight, I'm willing to serve you."
She slammed the sword on the table with considerable force, causing the table to shake slightly.
Upon hearing Li Ji's words, Ming Qiancheng slightly raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Li Ji. He remained silent, simply watching her quietly.
