Host has drawn the life pattern: Bewitching Beauty
You were the child of an ordinary farming family near Heaven Dou City.
Unfortunately, your mother died early, and after your stepmother came into the household, you suffered greatly from mistreatment.
Fang Yuan shook his head helplessly.
Having such a poor family background was unfortunate, but it didn’t matter—he had talent.
He just had to endure until the martial soul awakening, and then the Spirit Hall would take him away.
You grew up eating irregularly, sometimes hungry, sometimes full.
The days passed one by one, and finally, you turned six.
An executive from the Spirit Hall came to the village to help with the martial soul awakening.
You stepped forward confidently.
The martial soul awakened, and a pure white fox with nine tails appeared in the center of your palm.
Martial Soul: Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.
Innate soul power: full level.
The Spirit Hall executive was very pleased and asked if you wanted to join the Spirit Hall.
But your father and stepmother hurried forward, holding you in their arms, saying they needed time to consider.
You sensed something was wrong with these two people and were about to call out to the Spirit Hall executive for help, when a sharp blade pressed against your back.
Feeling the knife already piercing into your flesh, and seeing how far the executive was from you, you wisely chose to shut your mouth.
After the village chief saw off the executive, he walked over with a smile, patted your head, and praised you for being such a good child…
You were sold to slave traders.
Because of your excellent martial soul, the slave traders planned to groom you a little, then send you to an auction and sell you for a high price.
Damn it.
Fang Yuan watched, utterly dumbfounded.
He had never really taken family background seriously before.
Compared to family background, he valued his own talent and strength more.
He never expected to fail so quickly.
That inhuman pair of parents had actually sold him off directly.
What made things even more troublesome was that this was completely legal.
Had he truly become a slave?
The slave traders dressed you up nicely.
Although you were a slave waiting to be sold, because you were considered premium merchandise, you ate better too.
Compared to when you were at home, you had gained a bit of weight.
Your previously gaunt cheeks slowly filled out and became rosy.
Your appearance changed day by day—your upturned, amorous fox eyes and the natural upward curve of your lips gave you a playful yet affectionate look, with ink-black hair and snow-white skin.
The slave traders were overjoyed at your transformation.
With such talent and such looks, they could raise the price even further.
You thought about escaping, but unfortunately, almost all the guards were soul masters, and the few ordinary people among them were all burly adults.
As a child, you simply couldn’t run away.
The auction began, and you were the grand finale.
You were locked inside a golden cage, wearing nothing but simple undergarments aside from chains and a collar.
Countless pairs of eyes from the audience stared at you.
You felt extremely uncomfortable.
At first, they thought you were just an exceptionally beautiful slave, but when the auctioneer introduced your martial soul and innate soul power, everyone’s expressions changed.
Fang Yuan was speechless at how this was developing.
This simulation had started off badly.
He hoped the simulated version of himself would be lucky and not fall into the hands of some pervert.
The bidding began, and your price skyrocketed.
A genius with a top-tier beast martial soul and innate full soul power was something even the top three sects and the Heavenly Dou imperial family would fiercely compete over.
Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already received advance notice and was seated in the VIP section participating in the bidding.
His gaze toward you was one of absolute determination.
Wild geniuses like you, who could be recruited and nurtured from childhood, were extremely rare.
Once the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the top three sects, made its move, more than half of the bidders withdrew.
In the end, only the Heavenly Dou imperial family still had both the courage and the financial power to continue competing with Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi sighed slightly as he looked at Xue Qinghe, the disciple sitting across from him representing the Heavenly Dou imperial family.
Although they were master and disciple, they each had their own agendas in the end.
The two of them could only maintain a facade of harmony on the surface while harboring their own thoughts behind the scenes.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, naturally didn’t want a perfectly good civilian genius to be taken under the wing of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a slave.
Moreover…
Qian Renxue gazed fixedly at the figure in the golden cage on stage—that young yet enchantingly alluring face.
Truly beautiful!
Qian Renxue and Ning Fengzhi bid against each other, driving your price up to an astronomical sum.
You looked intently in Qian Renxue’s direction.
Compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you still trusted the Six-Winged Angel martial soul possessor, the highly principled Qian Renxue, more.
Ning Fengzhi was unwilling to give up easily.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were already advanced in years and had no successors.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s inherited martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, had no offensive power and couldn’t break through to level eighty.
In Ning Fengzhi’s eyes, your appearance was simply a godsend opportunity.
If raised well, someone with innate full soul power and a top-tier beast martial soul could become a Titled Douluo without much difficulty, continuing to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after Sword Douluo and the others passed away.
But after all, this was Heaven Dou City, and Xue Qinghe was after all a prince of Heaven Dou…
Emperor Xue Ye also supported Xue Qinghe in recruiting an innate full soul power genius.
Ning Fengzhi wasn’t yet willing to fall out with the Heaven Dou Empire.
In the end, you were taken away by Xue Qinghe.
You were still led before Xue Qinghe with a collar and chains around your neck.
To attract more bidding, the auctioneer had specifically made you use martial soul possession, so you had a pair of fluffy white fox ears on your head and nine long fox tails flowing gracefully behind you.
Xue Qinghe watched, unable to resist reaching out to touch them.
The tails and ears trembled slightly, but you showed no reaction—you just kept staring at the food on the table.
Because you had to go on the auction stage, to prevent any unscheduled bathroom breaks, they had starved you for a full day and night.
Seeing your state, Xue Qinghe smiled, picked up a pastry, and fed it to you…
You grew up together with Xue Qinghe.
He was only nine years older than you, but he was incredibly mature, able to handle the nobles with ease and deal with the mountain of political affairs.
He liked to hold you while sleeping.
At first, you didn’t think much of it, because the reputation of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul was sterling—aside from one Qian Xunji, the Qian family had been honorable and upright for generations.
Until one night, you discovered that Xue Qinghe—or rather, Qian Renxue—was kissing you.
From your eyes to your lips, all the way down to your vulnerable Adam’s apple…
You chose to close your eyes and continue pretending to sleep.
The next morning, you acted as if nothing had happened.
You maintained this fragile balance.
Qian Renxue didn’t confess her identity, and you could only continue pretending not to know anything.
In the blink of an eye, you were twelve years old.
Because of the influence of your martial soul, your appearance grew even more striking.
Your originally black hair gradually turned into pure silver-white with not a single strand of other color.
Every move you made was captivating and soul-stirring.
You put on a mask again, but its effectiveness was limited.
Even without showing your face, you could still attract a swarm of admirers just with your silhouette and voice.
Princess Xue Ke always came looking for you, and more than once tried to take you away from Xue Qinghe.
Naturally, Xue Qinghe never agreed, and instead imposed even stricter restrictions on your social interactions.
After Princess Xue Ke confessed her feelings to you, Xue Qinghe angrily took you away.
Then, under your astonished gaze, she revealed her true identity.
