Staring at Xin Yu, Qin Wentian spoke, "I don't understand why things are like this here. Your cultivation base is also at the peak of devil-foundation. Regardless of talent or beauty, they are both outstanding. Yet why are you willing to give up all your cultivation to a man in the span of a single night?"

It's normal for the Myriad Devil Islands to have the Mercury Lady Cultivation Art. However, doing things in such a way was definitely not normal.

"I naturally am not willing. However sir, don't think that everyone born here would have good lives. Living on the Myriad Devil Islands is a very terrifying thing as life can be incomparably cruel. This is especially so for beautiful girls. If they don't have the strength to protect themselves, it wouldn't be easy for them to exist. If there wasn't any reason, how would there be the Celestial Devil Lodge?" Xin Yu leaned against him gently, explaining to him

Such a feeling actually caused Qin Wentian to feel a tenderness in his heart. This Mercury Lady Devil Art was activated constantly.

"In addition, if Xin Yu really met someone where we are mutually in love, so what even if my peak devil-foundation cultivation goes to him? My strength might be gone but I can restart from the first-level of devil-foundation and wouldn't be a cripple. For sisters who are more lucky, they even have the opportunity to marry into those powerful clans." Xin Yu continued.

"The Celestial Devil Lodge nurtures all of you, they can gain some benefits from this?" Qin Wentian asked.

"That's only natural. Sir, your relationship must be very good with Young Master Ye, right?" Xin Yu smiled.

"Why do you ask this?" Qin Wentian questioned back.

"Nothing much." Xin Yu shook her head. Her warm and gentle hands held Qin Wentian's finger, as she leaned in closer to him. Qin Wentian then turned his attention back to the nine dancers as waves began to rise in his heart.

Although the ladies of the Celestial Devil Lodge would give their first time to the person they loved, however, how could it be so easy to enter a great clan just like what Xin Yu said? Male devil cultivators would usually act on impulse in situations like this, and may love the said female for only a period of time. However, if they really wanted to take them as a wife or concubine, things wouldn't be so easy. After all, the ladies of the lodge have accompanied and served many men before. Although their virginity was intact, the shame brought on by their occupation was a taboo to great and powerful clans. Most probably, the fate of these ladies would be to be abandoned.

"Sir, what are you thinking about?" Xin Yu inclined her head and asked in a gentle voice.

"I'm thinking if I have the ability to cause all of you to submit to me." Qin Wentian smiled.

Xin Yu's lips curled up slightly in a smile, "I don't believe sir is such a person. Many people, when at this point of time, already cannot endure it and begin to frisk around our bodies. Can Xin Yu ask sir something?"

"You may." Qin Wentian spoke.

"If Xin Yu is willing to follow you, would sir be willing to take me as your wife and protect me?" Xin Yu inclined her head, her beautiful eyes staring at Qin Wentian. Her soulful eyes were filled with deep emotions, causing most men to want to hurry and say yes.

"Nope." Qin Wentian smiled.

"Sir is truly direct. Many people wouldn't have such determination at this point of time. They would usually lie, wanting to get us to believe them and give up our bodies to them." Xin Yu's voice grew softer.

"How do you know I'm not putting on an act? Pretending to be the gentlemen so I can trick you better?" Qin Wentian asked.

"Pretending to be virtuous to get us to fall for you? But what meaning is there to females like us?" Xin Yu laughed. Qin Wentian nodded in agreement.

"Impudent!" At this moment, a loud shout rang out from within the mist, breaking the spell of the atmosphere instantly. After that, a cold voice sounded out, "I already said before that Xin Yu cannot accompany other men. Tell her to come to me immediately."

That voice was extremely tyrannical. Ringing thunderously through the air. Xin Yu struggled a little and got out of Qin Wentian's embrace as she sat to the side.

"Someone who likes you?" Qin Wentian stared at Xin Yu as he asked.

"Between truths and illusions, who knows what is real? His name is Ba Xiao, a ranker on the Devil Rankings and he has an extremely tyrannical personality. He has to get whatever he wants." Xin Yu simled.

"Is he very famous?" Qin Wentian asked.

Xin Yu bewilderedly glanced at Qin Wentian before she smiled, "Sir Qin actually doesn't even know of the characters on the Devil Rankings?"

"I'm not someone from the Fallen Devil Island." Qin Wentian explained.

"Ah, I see. Ba Xiao is from the Royal Devil Sect and has extremely high talent. Although he doesn't have an exact ranking on the Devil Rankings, cultivators on the Fallen Devil Island like to privately discuss his strength, feeling that Ba Xiao's strength was sufficient to rank among the top three. As for the Royal Devil Sect, it's also a terrifyingly strong major power. Tell me, do you think he is famous?" Xin Yu smiled.

"If this is the case and since he likes you, wouldn't that be a match?" Qin Wentian asked.

"Ba Xiao's personality is extremely tyrannical, he only wants me simply for my body." Xin Yu shook her head, "I don't like him."

"I see." Qin Wentian nodded lightly. At this moment, the magic like atmosphere was already spoiled by Ba Xiao's shout. The mist dissipated and the nine beautiful silhouettes disappeared, as the scene reverted back to its original state when Qin Wentian first came. It's just that beside each of the geniuses here, a supreme beauty could be seen accompanying them.

However Qin Wentian discovered that Xin Yu who was beside him, seemed to be the most outstanding one among these females. Seems like that was why Xin Yu made that earlier statement about him having a good relationship with Ye Zimo. Ye Zimo must have paid a heavy price to the lodge so that Xin Yu would come and accompany him.

In one of the pavilions, a figure stood there arrogantly with a cold expression. After which, his gaze turned to Qin Wentian and Xin Yu.

"Sir Ba, the Celestial Devil Palace has its own rules, please forgive me for not being able to comply with your requests." Not far from Ba Xiao, a woman stood there, apologizing to him.

However Ba Xiao didn't look at him. His eyes were only on Xin Yu, "Xin Yu, come over and accompany me."

Xin Yu was somewhat at a loss for words. She cast a glance at Qin Wentian who was beside her.

"Ba Xiao, since you are here at the Celestial Devil Lodge, don't spoil the rules here." Ye Zimo unhappily interjected.

"Ye Zimo, you still don't have the qualifications to talk to me." Ba Xiao coldly stared at Ye Zimo.

"Since I'm arranged to accompany Sir Qin today, I will listen to his orders." Xin Yu spoke in a soft voice.

Ba Xiao's eyes then turned to Qin Wentian once more.

"I naturally won't allow you to go." Qin Wentian held Xin Yu's hand as he laughed.

"Mhm." Xin Yu smiled.

Ba Xiao's expression sank. He stared at Qin Wentian and spoke coldly, "You are very unbridled."

"Am I as unbridled as you?" Qin Wentian stared at him. Coming here to seize someone, yet this Ba Xiao actually said that he was the unbridled one?

"Hmph." Ba Xiao coldly snorted. He glanced at Xin Yu again, "Xin Yu, everytime I come to the Celestial Devil Lodge, I come because of you. I remember I once said that other than me, I don't want you to accompany others. Am I right?"

"Sir Ba, Xin Yu is from the Celestial Devil Lodge, I naturally have to listen to the lodge's arrangements." Xin Yu spoke in a low voice.

"Stop using the lodge to pressure me. I'm sure I've treated you fairly. It's fine that you rejected me several times before, I respect your choices. But today, I'm truly angered." Ba Xiao coldly spoke.

"Ba Xiao, your logic is truly astounding. How many times have you come here for Xin Yu and because of that she needs to give up everything of hers to you? In the Celestial Devil Lodge, many people like to come here, you are not the only one." Ye Zimo spoke again. "Brother Qin is my friend, today is the first time he is here. As for you, you are truly dampening the spirits of everyone."

"As I have said before you don't have the qualifications to speak to me. Talk to me only when you can defeat me." Ba Xiao glanced disdainfully at Ye Zimo before continuing, "Xin Yu, you should know that the Celestial Devil Lodge is a place of benefits. If I can pay a sufficient price and want you specifically, what can you do?"

Xin Yu's expression changed. The lodge has its own rules but if Ba XIao really can pay a price sufficient to stir the hearts of the Celestial Devil Lodge, the lodge might choose to sacrifice her.

"Sir Ba why must you do this. You should've known that the boosting effect of the Mercury Lady Devil Art will only activate if we will it to be so." Xin Yu spoke.

"The reason I want you is not merely for the Mercury Lady Devil Art. Since you said it this way, if you land in my hands, do you think you still can resist me?" Ba Xiao's voice grew more domineering. Clearly, he was truly enraged.

Qin Wentian was speechless, he didn't expect to encounter such a strong case of jealousy in such a place like the Celestial Devil Lodge.

"If Sir Ba really wants to do things this way, I can choose to die." Xin Yu's beautiful eyes turned steel-like, no longer a weak and fragile lady, directly staring at Ba Xiao.

"Since you say it this way, very well." Ba Xiao no longer stared at Xin Yu. He turned his gaze to Qin Wentian, "Tell her to come over now or you will be in an extremely miserable state."

"Help me to fill my tea." Qin Wentian didn't even glance at Ba Xiao as he spoke in a gentle tone to Xin Yu.

Xin Yu started, after which she nodded her head lightly and continued filling tea for Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian sipped his tea and placed down his cup. He placed his arm around Xin Yu, He then closed his eyes, "I always assumed only wild beasts would bite people, but to think that humans would do so as well. How disappointing."

As the sound of his voice faded, the eyes of the people in the surroundings gleamed with sharpness. Treating Ba Xiao as a wild beast? How crazy was this.

Ba Xiao and Xin Yu were both stunned. After which the people here only saw Ba Xiao's silhouette flashing by as he directly exited the pavilion. "I will wait for you outside the Celestial Devil Lodge. Let's hope you can continue hiding in here forever."

"Continue on, don't let your spirits be dampened by this." Qin Wentian spoke. The immortal mist gradually appeared again and the nine beauties restarted their dance, turning this place once again into a paradise on earth instantly.

Xin Yu's body leaned softly against Qin Wentian as she asked in a gentle tone, "Since Sir looks down with disdain on me, why did you offend Ba Xiao because of me?"

"Look down with disdain on you? What do you mean?" Qin Wentian asked puzzledly.

"I asked if Sir Qin was willing to marry me if I can give up everything to you, but sir, you are not even willing to lie to me. Isn't that looking down on me?" Xin Yu asked in a gentle voice.

"The world is so vast, with countless lives here. All of us lived in the swap, stained with blood and mud. Which of us is truly clean and innocent? What qualifications do we have to look down with disdain on others? Let alone Xin Yu, you are truly so beautiful." Qin Wentian smiled. "The reason why I won't marry you, is because I already have two women which I love. Even if the environment is extremely tempting, I might temporarily be dazzled but if you want me to marry some other woman, that would not only be disrespectful to you, it would be disrespectful to the women I love as well."

Xin Yu's beautiful eyes flashed. She then fall silent and quietly leaned against Qin Wentian, looking at him.
