: The Second Simulation, Beauty and Intrigue

[Simulation Start]

[Host's Destiny Extraction: Beauty's Heart]

You are the child of an ordinary farming family near Tiandou City. Unfortunately, your mother died early, and your stepmother brought mistreatment upon you.

Fang Yuan shook his head helplessly. His family background was too poor, but it didn't matter. He had talent, and he could just wait until he awakened his martial soul and was taken away by the Spirit Hall.

You grew up with irregular meals, and as the days passed, you finally turned six. Then, a Spirit Hall deacon came to the village to help you awaken your martial spirit.

You confidently step forward, your martial spirit awakens, and a pure white fox with nine tails appears in your palm.

[Martial Soul: Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox; Soul Power: Innate Full Soul Power.]

The Spirit Hall deacon was delighted and asked if you wanted to join the Spirit Hall, but your father and stepmother rushed forward and hugged you tightly, saying they needed to think about it.

[You sensed something was wrong with these two and were about to ask the Spirit Hall deacon for help when a sharp knife was pressed against your back. You felt the knife pierce your flesh, but seeing the deacon quite a distance away, you instinctively chose to remain silent.]

After seeing the steward off, the village chief smiled, walked over, patted your head, and praised you for being a good child...

You were sold to slave traders.

Because of your excellent martial spirit, the slave traders plan to train you and then sell you at auction for a high price.

Damn, Fang Yuan was dumbfounded.

He had never really cared much about his family background; he valued his own talent and strength more than his family's connections. He never expected things to turn out so quickly.

These inhuman parents actually sold themselves out.

What's even more troublesome is that this is legal, and I've truly become a slave?

[The slave traders dressed you up nicely. Although you were a slave waiting to be sold, because you were considered high-end, you were fed better, and you've gained quite a bit of weight compared to when you were at home. Your originally thin cheeks have gradually become fuller and rosier, and your appearance changes every day. Your upturned, amorous fox-like eyes and naturally smiling lips, both cunning and affectionate, along with your black hair and snow-white skin, give you a captivating charm.]

The slave traders were delighted by your transformation. You have great talent and good looks; they could even raise your price. You considered escaping, but unfortunately, most of the guards were Soul Masters, and the few ordinary people they encountered were burly adults. A child like you couldn't possibly run away.

The auction has begun, and you're the last to appear.

You are locked in a golden cage, wearing only simple undergarments besides a chain collar.

[With countless eyes fixed on you from below the stage, you felt extremely uncomfortable. At first, they thought you were just an exceptionally beautiful slave, but their gazes changed after the auctioneer introduced your martial spirit and innate soul power.]

Fang Yuan was truly speechless at this development.

This was a bad start; I hope my simulated self will be luckier and not fall into the hands of the monster.

[The auction has begun. Your net worth is soaring. Even top-tier forces like the Three Upper Sects and the Heavenly Dou Royal Family would vie for a genius with a top-tier beast martial spirit and innate full soul power.]

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had received advance notice and was participating in the auction from the VIP seats. His gaze towards you was determined to win; a wild genius like you, who could be cultivated and nurtured from a young age, was truly rare.

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, making a move, the number of people daring to participate in the bidding decreased by more than half. In the end, only the Heavenly Dou Royal Family dared to continue competing with Ning Fengzhi, possessing both the resources and the financial strength.

Ning Fengzhi sighed slightly as he looked at Xue Qinghe, the disciple representing the Heavenly Dou royal family, sitting opposite him.

Although they were master and disciple, they ultimately harbored their own agendas. They could only maintain a facade of harmony while secretly harboring their own thoughts.

[Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, naturally didn't want a perfectly good commoner genius to be taken under the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's wing as a slave, and besides...]

Qian Renxue stared intently at the youthful yet alluring face encased in the golden cage on the stage. She was truly beautiful!

[Qian Renxue and Ning Fengzhi bid against each other, driving your price to an astronomical level. You looked intently in Qian Renxue's direction.]

Compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you have more faith in Qian Renxue, the possessor of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and whose moral character is extremely high.

Ning Fengzhi was unwilling to give up easily. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were already old and had no successors. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's inherited martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, lacked offensive power and could not break through to level 80.

[In Ning Fengzhi's eyes, your appearance is a godsend. As long as you are properly nurtured, it won't be difficult for you to become a Title Douluo with innate full soul power and a top-tier beast martial soul. You can continue to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after Sword Douluo and the others pass away.]

However, this is, after all, Tiandou City, and Xue Qinghe is, after all, a prince of Tiandou...

[Emperor Xue Ye also supports Xue Qinghe in recruiting a genius with innate full soul power, as Ning Fengzhi does not yet want to break ties with the Heaven Dou Empire.]

You were ultimately taken away by Xue Qinghe.

You were still led to Xue Qinghe wearing a collar and chains. To attract bidders, the auctioneer specifically required you to possess a martial spirit, so you have a pair of fluffy white fox ears on your head and nine long fox tails flowing behind you.

Xue Qinghe watched, unable to resist reaching out to touch it. A slight tickle ran through your tail and ears, but you didn't react, only continuing to stare at the food on the table.

[Because you're going to be auctioned off, they've starved you for a day and a night to prevent you from needing to use the restroom.]

Seeing your expression, Xue Qinghe smiled and picked up a pastry to feed you...

You and Xue Qinghe grew up together. He's only nine years older than you, yet he's incredibly mature, able to handle nobles and mountains of official business with ease.

He liked to hold you while you slept. At first, you didn't think much of it because of the reputation of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Apart from Qian Xunji, the Qian family had been upright gentlemen for generations.

[Until one night, you discover that Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, is kissing you, from your eyes to your lips, and then to your delicate Adam's apple...]

You choose to close your eyes and pretend to be asleep, then wake up the next day and act as if nothing happened.

You maintain this fragile balance; Qian Renxue hasn't revealed her identity, so you can only continue pretending you know nothing.

[In the blink of an eye, you've turned twelve. Due to the influence of your martial spirit, your appearance has become increasingly outstanding. Your original black hair has gradually turned into long, pure silver-white hair. Every move you make is captivating and alluring. You've put on a mask again, but unfortunately, its effect is limited. Even without showing your face, you can still attract a swarm of admirers with just your silhouette and voice.]

Princess Xueke keeps coming to see you, and has tried more than once to take you away from Xue Qinghe. Xue Qinghe naturally refused, and instead tightened his restrictions on your social interactions.

After Princess Xue Ke confessed her feelings to you, Xue Qinghe angrily took you away. Later, to your astonishment, she revealed her true identity.
