The first impression Ding Hao gave everyone was that he was cultured and handsome, with not a very tall build. But when he lifted the black-haired young man with one hand like a little chick, everyone suddenly felt that this handsome, teal-robed youth had suddenly become so tall that they had to look up to him.

  “Hey…… you……” The black-haired young man struggled with all his might, terrified.

  However, that hand clenching his neck was like forged iron and would not budge at all. At this instant, he could not unleash his Martial Emperor Realm prowess even one bit.

  Ding Hao looked down at him, his eyes keen as knives, gleaming coldly.

  His gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing through the heart of this black-haired young man, making him suddenly feel an unprecedented fear, as if Death were staring straight at him in the eyes.

  The terror he experienced during that instant was such that he did not even dare to struggle.

  Ding Hao shook his head gently and waved his hand casually. And this expert in the Martial Royal Realm was flung directly out of the boat like a dead dog, falling into the water. He did not even dare to utter a word to save his face and left in great embarrassment.

  As all the rest looked shocked to the core, Ding Hao sat down slowly at the black-haired young man’s gold table.

  “Hahaha, Brother Ding, you ought to have done this long ago. This world operates by the law of the jungle. Only the strong can have a foothold, and receive delicious food and beautiful women. To disguise your true prowess is not the way of martial arts world.” Golden Cicada had clearly predicted the outcome long beforehand. He guffawed, the corners of his mouth dripping with meat grease. The two female warriors in attendance gingerly poured him some wine.

  Ding Hao was speechless about this meat-and-wine monk.

  If a monk said such things, would he not fear punishment from the Buddha?

  Soon, a female warrior hurriedly entered from outside Heaven Pavilion. She was the female leader who had brought Golden Cicada and Ding Hao here. With a panicky look on her face, she immediately came to Ding Hao and knelt before him on the floor, almost begging, “Your servant was blind and slighted you, distinguished guest. Please spare my life.”


  Ding Hao was shocked. He waved his hand, and an invisible force gushed out. He helped the female warrior up and said, “It’s alright. You don’t have to do this. Get up quickly.”


  “Distinguished guest, please spare my life! Please spare my life!” Implorations were still written all over the female warrior’s face.

  While they were talking, two young female guards wearing tight black leather armor and holding battle spears came in from the outside. They caught the female leader from behind and dragged her out. By now, the female leader’s face was already looking totally hopeless, her beautiful big eyes and the pretty face full of terror.

  Ding Hao’s heart skipped a beat and he said, “Wait a second.”


  As expected, the female guards with the spears stopped. One of them looked at Ding Hao and asked, “What can I do for you, distinguished guest?”


  Ding Hao pointed to the apprehended female leader and said, “Let her go. I want her to come here and serve me wine.”


  “Yes, sir.” The spear-wielding female guard saluted and then yelled at the female leader, “Hurry up and serve the distinguished guest well. If he hadn’t pleaded for you today, you would have lost your cheap life.”


  For some reason, Ding Hao could sense clearly that although that female guard spoke very harshly, she was secretly relieved. The two of them looked at Ding Hao with some gratitude. It seemed that they had a good relationship with the female warrior leader, and did not want to see Miaoyu Bordello torture this sister just because of some little mistake.

  The female warrior seemed to have experienced a new lease of life. She immediately came over and sat down beside Ding Hao, like a well-behaved kitten, gently pouring wine for him.

  In her heart, she was extremely grateful to Ding Hao.

  The rules of the “Miaoyu Bordello” were extremely ruthless. She had not realized Ding Hao had exceptional skills and had slighted him all the way. If it weren’t for that monk, she would not have brought Ding Hao to Heaven Pavilion. And after they arrived, she had not arranged for him a seat of honor. She deliberately made things difficult for him, meaning that she had offended Ding Hao thoroughly.

  When Ding Hao defeated the black-haired young man instantaneously as though uprooting a dry tree stump, she finally understood what a big mistake she had made.

  That astounding strike was enough to reveal many problems. Ding Hao could defeat even an expert at the two-apertured Martial Emperor Realm at will easily—his strength was definitely not something she could measure. He was much more powerful than many men in Heaven Pavilion.

  She finally understood the true implication of Golden Cicada’s words, “Your mistress really didn’t recognize the true Buddha in person.”


  This kind of mistake was simply irreparable. Offending this young and unfathomable genius would have a serious impact on the master plan of “Miaoyu Bordello”. If her fate were decided according to the strict rules of the sect, she would have been severely maimed even if she were to survive.

  If Ding Hao had not forgiven her and pleaded on her behalf, she would have suffered a tragic fate once the female guards dragged her out of the hall.

  Hence, she was now totally obedient to Ding Hao.

  Even if Ding Hao had asked to sleep with her, she would not have hesitated.

  “Your servant’s name is Muying. Thank you for saving my life.” As the female warrior leader poured wine, her delicate hands, as fair and tender as freshly peeled shallots, brought the wine goblet to Ding Hao’s lips.

  Ding Hao did not open his mouth directly, but reached out and took the goblet. Only then did he drink the wine.

  Soon, all the fine wine and delicacies on Ding Hao’s gold table were replaced. Every item left behind by the black-haired young man was removed, and even the gold table was replaced with a new one. Everything was conducted in a very thoughtful manner.

  The female warrior molested by the black-haired young man also sat quietly by the side, her head bowed and her body trembling slightly, awaiting the sentencing of her fate.

  From similar incidents in the past, she knew that all the young talents offered a seat in Heaven Pavilion were men of profound strength and great arrogance. A servant like her, molested by the black-haired young man, would be regarded as unclean even if she had no sexual relationship with the guest, and had remained a virgin. They would still request for her to be replaced.

  Once a woman entered Miaoyu Bordello, she no longer belonged to herself.

  Many preadolescent girls had entered Miaoyu Bordello and received martial arts and other pieces of training for decades. Seven or eight out of ten would be eliminated, and only girls who were both beautiful and highly skilled would qualify to serve the honored guests in Heaven Pavilion tonight. If they were thrown out now, they would end up like lowly dancers in the lowest Earth Pavilion, having to service and fawn on men as real prostitutes, no matter how unwilling.

  “Come and help me cut the meat.” Ding Hao pointed to a large chunk of golden spiritual meat on the table.

  The girl at first was stunned, but understood him almost immediately. Overjoyed, she quickly picked up a pair of delicate silver knives from the gold table and slowly sliced the golden spiritual meat into small cubes of equal size. Carefully brushing them with sauce, she threaded the meat on wooden skewers and brought them to Ding Hao’s mouth.

  She understood that this meant that she could continue working in Heaven Pavilion.

  Her fate had been completely changed in the blink of an eye, by this teal-robed, jade-like youth.

  “Sister Miaoyu, you’ve met a good man. You ought to thank the eminent guest well,” Muying said with a smile.

  “You’re right, Sister Ying.” Hearing that, the girl knelt down beside Ding Hao, bowing her back elegantly, and offered him her heartfelt thanks. “Thank you, Young Master. Your servant is called Miaoyu.”


  Ding Hao nodded and said no more.

  By now, Ding Hao had already understood the many tricks of their trade.

  Miaoyu Bordello, the force behind the Golden Boat of the Nine Heavens Mystic Fairies, was a horrible place with brutally savage methods to manage the girls. No one knew how the Bordello had managed to find so many stunning beauties and trained them. Each was as delicate as perfect porcelain, yet absolutely obedient.

  It was a great pity. Such beauties with both looks and skills would have become the treasured pearls of major sects and the highly sought-after goddesses of countless geniuses and martial artists in Snow Province. But now, they were used here like merchandise. Although they had extraordinary strength, they could not control their own destiny.

  For a moment, Ding Hao could not help feeling sorry for these pretty girls.

  “It’s been more than two hours. Why hasn’t the festival started yet?” Someone could not help but ask aloud.

  “That’s right. We’re here because of the Moonlight Fairy. If you only allow these slack, vulgar girls to serve us, it means that Miaoyu Bordello is looking down on us, isn’t it?”


  “I’m very busy. Miss Moonlight, please show yourself now.”


  “Hehe, Miaoyu Bordello is really putting on airs.”


  “It’s already past the designated hour. Why hasn’t it started yet?”


  One started clamoring, and soon, the Heaven Pavilion became a cacophony of noise.

  Many were yelling, as their eyes gazing at the distant stage became more and more scorching.

  “Young valiants, please calm down. The auction will start soon. The reason why we have delayed the actual auction is that Miaoyu Bordello was preparing big gifts for everyone, so all will be satisfied.” A noble, ethereal and immensely imposing female voice rang out clearly in everyone’s ears, as if whispering into them.

  Ding Hao was slightly stunned.

  This was an extremely terrifying expert with unfathomable strength. Even with his strength, he was unable to locate the source of that voice. Just where exactly had this voice come from?

  As soon as this voice rang out, Heaven Pavilion gradually quietened down.

  “Sister Moonlight is the next successor of Miaoyu Bordello, so ravishing as to sink fish and make flying geese fall, make the moon hide and put flowers to shame. And she’s truly gifted in martial arts. They say that she has already reached the Martial Emperor Realm. Over the next few years, it would possible for her to reach the Sage Realm.” Muying was sitting beside Ding Hao docilely, pouring wine and explaining with a smile. “The most extraordinary thing is that she’s rumored to have descended from the gods, with a most unusual Xuanyuan Divine Body. If she practices together with a man, she will achieve in one day what others take months to diligently cultivate. It’s quite wonderful.”


  Ding Hao heard her and was also stunned.

  “The Xuanyuan Divine Body?

  “You mean there’s such a kind of a constitution?”


  Were he to marry such a woman, it would be tantamount to using cheat codes while cultivating!

  Not only could he roam the world with this beautiful woman, but given enough time and aptitude, he could also aim to become a Supreme Master. Her physical body and lineage would surely tempt a man to cultivate with her, even if she were a sow and not a woman.

  “Miaoyu Bordello” was truly extraordinary.
