Upon hearing this, Hua Kui's expression finally changed. She knew that she was in a bad situation.
However, she also knew that Lord Qin Xiao was very strong, far stronger than her. Therefore, she had no power to resist.
Since she didn't have the power to resist, she could only be obedient if she wanted to live a good life.
People like her, who came from humble origins, didn't even have the ability to cultivate a clone.
Although it was said that once one became a Celestial Venerate, not everyone could cultivate a clone.
If he wanted to cultivate a clone, the price he would have to pay would not be small. Some poor people who did not have any background would have to spend countless years to accumulate enough wealth to cultivate a doppelganger.
Cultivating a clone required several types of precious materials, all of which were not cheap.
All in all, it would take about a thousand Chaos Source Stones to cultivate an avatar.
Therefore, a clone wasn't something that ordinary people could cultivate.
Hua Kui earned a lot of money, but it was all earned for her boss. She received very little of it.
Moreover, even if she received the money, she didn't have the freedom to cultivate a clone.
"Ask away, Lord Qin." Hua Kui could only brace herself and say.
"Who taught you this technique?" Qin Xiao asked, staring at Hua Kui so that she wouldn't dare lie.
Hua Kui hesitated for a moment, then said, "It was an older sister."
An older sister?
It seemed that he was close to the answer.
"Tell me the details." Qin Xiao continued asking.
Hua Kui hesitated for a moment before he slowly recounted the events that had transpired.
It turned out that the story started a thousand years ago. Hua Kui had been in the Harmony Brothel for tens of thousands of years. She hadn't been a courtesan before, but a very ordinary dancer. In addition to dancing, she had to sell her body to customers.
Her status in the Harmony Brothel wasn't high. She had to do all kinds of work, and she couldn't be picky about her food.
If the girls in the Harmony Brothel were to be divided into three classes, then the first class would definitely be the courtesan who was surrounded by stars. The courtesan was highly sought after by countless men. She was the Harmony Brothel's cash cow, and even the boss had to be polite to her.
Moreover, there would be servants to serve them. They could be said to be able to call the wind and summon the rain.
Every time, there would be a large group of young masters fighting for the position of the top courtesan.
Right now, she was the Courtesan Belle, the only Courtesan Belle in the Joyful Spring Brothel. She stood at a very high position.
Although she was still serving customers, her status was obviously different.
The second level was a red card.
The bosses also liked those who were good-looking, had a large number of regular customers, and were guaranteed to lose and earn money for Harmony Brothel.
These girls only did the work of receiving customers. They didn't need to do other menial and tiring work.
As for the third type, they would do any kind of work. When a customer picked one, he would accompany the customer. When there were no customers to choose, they would sing, dance, and even serve tea and water.
This kind of people had the least status, and their lives were more or less the same as servants.
The previous Courtesan Belle was at the third level, and she had also suffered a lot.
Once, a customer deliberately bullied her, and a red card also humiliated her. No matter how she begged for mercy, they didn't let her go. In the end, she was tortured to the point where she wished she was dead.
At that time, she felt despair. She didn't want to live anymore, so she thought of suicide.
Just as she was about to commit suicide, a beautiful older sister appeared and saved her.
She complained to the beautiful older sister, and the beautiful older sister asked her if she wanted to become very beautiful and seductive. Many men liked her.
Of course she was willing. She wanted to change her fate, but she had been powerless.
She was so lowly, living like an ant.
She felt that her life had entered darkness, and she couldn't see a trace of light.
However, the beautiful older sister brought her light, and her dead heart was rekindled.
The older sister taught her two cultivation techniques. One was the art of seduction, and the other was the art of yang absorption.
Under the effect of the two cultivation techniques, she instantly transformed from an ugly duckling into a white swan. She became extremely beautiful, charming, and beautiful.
After these transformations, her entire life was naturally different. From then on, she shone brightly and became the most popular courtesan in the world.
As for the beautiful older sister, Courtesan Belle didn't know much. She didn't know much about the beautiful older sister, and only regarded her as a god in her heart. She regarded her as her savior who had given her a new lease of life.
Qin Xiao asked her more questions, but she didn't get any useful information.
She either didn't know anything, or said that it was worthless.
In addition, Courtesan Belle was obviously very grateful to the beautiful older sister, so she didn't want to say more. She directly shook her head and refused to say anything. She would rather die than submit.
Seeing that, Qin Xiao knew that she couldn't ask more questions. If she continued to ask, it would be useless. It would only lead to bad consequences.
Sometimes, people's understanding was very limited.
In fact, if she put herself in Courtesan Belle's shoes, Qin Xiao could understand Courtesan Belle very well.
After listening to her so much, Qin Xiao was basically sure that the beautiful older sister she mentioned was undoubtedly the jade-faced man. The time also matched. Everything was very consistent.
It was normal for Courtesan Belle to protect the jade-faced man. After all, the jade-faced man had only given Courtesan Belle a favor, and it was a favor that changed her fate. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the jade-faced man had saved her life.
Therefore, no matter what kind of person the jade-faced man was, Courtesan Belle would definitely choose to protect her, and would even die for her.
Courtesan Belle believed that Courtesan Belle could do it. She had such determination.
Because of that, Qin Xiao didn't dare to ask more questions.
"It seems that we have underestimated the jade-faced man. He's much more cunning than we thought."
"Clearly, he did this on purpose. He purposely found a few substitutes in Muta City to shift the attention of others to substitutes like Hua Kui."
"From the looks of it, it is indeed not an easy task to find the Jade-faced Man."
Qin Xiao shook his head secretly. But no matter how difficult it was, they had to find him.
Since they had chosen this task, they had to complete it no matter what.
"Well, Young Master Qin, you've asked enough questions, and I've told you so much. Don't ask any more questions. Don't make things difficult for me. I won't say anything more, "Courtesan Belle said bluntly.
Qin Xiao understood Courtesan Belle's feelings, so he didn't ask more questions. He nodded and said, "Well, I know. You worry too much, Miss."
"In fact, I think you should feel that I'm not a bad person. There are some things that I may not be able to explain to you, but I, Qin Xiao, have always been open and aboveboard. I won't harm people. "
"You're a very kind woman, but also a pitiful one. I sympathize with your experience. I respect your indomitable spirit very much. "
"You have a heart for cultivation, a heart that defies the heavens and changes your fate. This is a good thing. Perseverance is the most important thing. "
"No matter what you do, perseverance is the most important thing. A heart is the most important thing. You have a good heart, so you have the foundation to transform. "
"But there are some things that I may need your help with."
"If you're willing to help me, I can redeem your freedom and return it to you. In this way, you can cultivate freely and change the trajectory of your life. "
"Perhaps one day, you can also become a strong person, stand at a high position, overlook this world, and no longer be controlled by others. You can control a world that belongs to you."
Redeem my freedom?!
Hearing these two words, Courtesan Belle's heart was obviously moved. This was something that she had always dreamed of.
This was indeed a great temptation to her.
But —
Courtesan Belle's expression quickly dimmed and she shook her head. No matter how great the temptation was, she couldn't betray her benefactor.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Qin. I really can't help you. If I make Young Master Qin unhappy, I'm willing to accept Young Master Qin's punishment, "Courtesan Belle said.
Qin Xiao seemed to have expected Courtesan Belle's rejection, so there was no trace of anger on his face. Instead, he smiled faintly.
"Well, then I won't say anything more. Your way of doing things is worthy of my recognition. You're not afraid of power, you're unyielding to temptation, and you know how to be grateful. You're indeed very different. "
"It's a pity that the heavens treat you unfairly. You didn't have a good birth, a good environment, and even fewer good opportunities, which led to your current life."
"But the value of people is that they can defy the heavens and change their fate. They can control their own fate in their own hands."
"If that's the case, then take care of yourself. Goodbye."
After saying that, Qin Xiao really left. He really didn't force Courtesan Belle anymore.
After sending off Qin Xiao, Courtesan Belle came back to her senses after a while. She looked up at the sky and was lost in thought again.
"Lord Qin Xiao, you're really a very special man. I believe you're really a good person."
"But — about that matter, I really can't say anything more to you."
"I also yearn for freedom, but I won't get it by betraying my benefactor. That way, I won't be at ease for the rest of my life."
"Everyone has their own fate. I've already accepted my fate. I want to defy the heavens and change my fate, but how can the heavens be so easy to defy? "
"I'm lowly. In this vast world, I'm just an insignificant ant."
"Forget it, forget it. Let's not think about this. One day, I'll redeem myself."
Courtesan Belle shook her head. She also had a direction to work hard for now. She also saw a glimmer of hope, although it was far away.
But no matter how far the road was, as long as she worked hard, she would definitely slowly approach it and finally reach it.
After leaving Yi Chun Brothel, Qin Xiao contacted Gong Li and Mo Nong. Interestingly, the two of them also encountered a similar situation as Qin Xiao.
They also heard from two different brothels that there was someone similar to Courtesan Belle who had sucked men's Yang energy. So they also went in separately to investigate this matter.
However, the two of them were slower than Qin Xiao. They were still in the middle of investigating and asked Qin Xiao to wait for a while.
Qin Xiao patiently waited for the two of them. Finally, after investigating the matter, the three of them gathered together.
"What a cunning jade-faced man. We've underestimated him too much. The information given by Wind Cloud City clearly underestimated the jade-faced man. "
"At first, I thought this was a relatively simple mission. Now, it seems that it's not that simple. We've been cheated by Wind Cloud City."
"If we knew earlier, we would've chosen another mission. Maybe we would've already completed it."
As soon as they met, Gong Li started to complain.
Indeed, the three of them had such a feeling. This jade-faced man was too cunning. He had long expected that someone might find trouble with him, so he had already prepared for it.
Such a move completely scattered Qin Xiao and the others' attention, and their direction was also disrupted.
