Chapter 818: Chapter 816: Seeing Her Once More

And what she whispered in the ear of the disfigured man elicited some incoherent utterances from him, which were noisy enough to be deemed normal by the guards outside, who decided not to come in and check.

Ah Jing, seeing that the patrol outside had moved on, approached Su Yingxue with wide eyes, “Sister Yingxue, how did you get here? Weren’t you discovered by anyone?”

The master’s Xi Lou was tightly secured like a web, where hundreds of slaves lived on the bottom floor. They all wanted to escape, some with considerable martial arts skills, yet none had ever succeeded.

That Su Yingxue had managed to enter was truly astonishing.

Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow, “Though the defenses are tight, it’s not impenetrable. If you don’t want to stay here, then come with me to Xi Lou, and I’ll find a way to send you to the surface to start a new life.”

Su Yingxue thought Ah Jing was forced, even terrorized to the point of losing her courage, to be in such a state.

However, to Su Yingxue’s surprise, Ah Jing shook her head and trembled at the mention of returning to the surface, “Sister Yingxue, I won’t go back. I will stay by master’s side. He treats me… very well.”

Ah Jing seemed to ponder for a moment before nodding firmly at Su Yingxue.

“Very well?”

Su Yingxue pointed at the urn, “Not turning you into this is considered good?”

Upon first laying eyes on Mu Fei, she knew he was not normal.

A normal man wouldn’t possess such an unnaturally handsome appearance; his face was abnormal, his gaze was abnormal, and even every move he made exuded a sinister aura.

No matter how she thought about it, she could not see how he could be someone that treated Ah Jing well.

Ah Jing bit her lip firmly, “Sister Yingxue, the master is truly good to me. Of all the sisters who came with me, I’m the only one alive, but… the master has never troubled me. My fear of him today is because he always made me stay up all night for him. But today, after he met you, he rewarded me with a night off. Compared to being scorned on the surface, or the ever-present danger of losing my life, I’d rather stay here with my master.”

Su Yingxue crossed her arms, unable to change Ah Jing’s mind and thus did not force her.

Yet, being with this disfigured man felt awkward to her.

After asking Air Jing about the events that befell her, Su Yingxue’s understanding deepened to another level.

It turns out that in this world, apart from the madman Chu Yifeng, there were many more lunatics.

Mu Fei was one of them.

Having returned to the Eastern Tower, Su Yingxue was visited by Mu Fei the next day.

When Ah Hong came to call her, he said, “Mu Fei has offered a hundred female slaves in exchange for a meeting with you.”

Su Yingxue curled her lips and scoffed coldly, “So I’m worth that much? A whole hundred female slaves?”

Ah Hong overlooked the sarcasm in her eyes and said with a composed smile, “Our master is the overseer of the Ghost Market, and people there can do business with him. The master has agreed to this deal, so please, Miss Su, step this way.”

“Hah!”

Su Yingxue chuckled coolly, “Isn’t this just Chu Yifeng trying to sell me off while my husband isn’t around?”

Ah Hong laughed lightly, “Our master certainly cannot sell Miss Su. It’s just a meeting, and it will not cause Miss Su any harm.”

“Enough already!”

Su Yingxue rolled her eyes, certain that if Chu Yifeng could sell her to Mu Fei, he wouldn’t hesitate for a second!

That kind of man who could be jealous over a woman, what wouldn’t he do?

But Su Yingxue also felt curious about Mu Fei and, keeping Ah Jing in mind, she decided to go.

Mu Fei was waiting for her on the fifth floor of Xi Lou.

There were attendants at the entrance, and the reception hall was splendid and magnificent. With the windows open, one could overlook the entire view of the Ghost Market.

For her, Mu Fei had indeed made an effort to show hospitality.
