Da Xuan Martial Saint

...

In the northern part of Yu State, within the territory of Lang Prefecture.

Cuiyan Mountain Villa was located on the eastern side of Lang Prefecture, close to the border of Bi Prefecture, forming a unique mountain range.

It is called a villa, but in fact, due to decades of mining activities in the Cuiyan Mountains, many common people have settled here. Centered around Cuiyan Mountain Villa, a town with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants had formed, almost comparable to some remote County Governments.

With Cuiyan Mountain Villa established here, it acted almost like a 'local emperor', overseeing all matters within Cuiyan Town. Under normal circumstances, neither the Prefectural Government of Lang Prefecture nor the Yu State Government Office would interfere much with its affairs.

This was also because behind Cuiyan Mountain Villa stood one of the six great families of Yu State, the Fang Family, and one of the family's elders was currently the Peak Master of the 'Heaven Profound Peak' of the Seven Profound Sect, a dignified Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster, and a highly esteemed figure in Yu State.

At this moment.

Night had just fallen.

The town of Cuiyan still showed a few lights here and there.

The closer to the center, the brighter it became, and Cuiyan Mountain Villa, situated right at the center, was nearly ablaze with light.

In the complex corridors, several servants were seen leading a group of four or five young maids of varying ages, who looked pretty and delicate, towards the back courtyard. Along the way, someone was speaking softly:

"You were sold to the villa as slaves, originally the lowest-ranking maids, without the right to serve the Second Young Master. But the Second Young Master is kind and gives you a chance. If you can make him happy, you might have the opportunity to remain by his side to serve, and if you do even better, you could even become his concubine, rising to the position of a master."

The girls, who looked like maids, appeared to be as young as thirteen to fourteen in age, with the older ones around seventeen or eighteen. However, their expressions varied; some showed timid looks, some bit their lips, some were numb with a blank expression, and only one showed a mix of worry and hope. They all followed the servant, heading forward.

Soon.

After circling through various courtyards and corridors, the maids entered a spacious yard.

"Go in, the young master is waiting for you in the bedroom," said the leading older servant in a low voice, pausing at the entrance of the yard and gesturing for the maids to enter. They exchanged hesitant looks but carefully proceeded into the yard under his command.

As the figures of the maids gradually disappeared into the yard, entering the well-lit hall inside, the older servant at the entrance turned to the two younger servants beside him and said in a quiet voice, "Now, no matter what you hear, pretend you've heard nothing, otherwise..."

The two young servants exchanged a glance, their expressions tensing as they nodded in response.

They had been transferred to serve outside the Second Young Master's courtyard only the day before. It was said that some servants had committed a grave error, fornicating with the maids, and were expelled from the villa. Yet these two knew that those men had not really been expelled but had disappeared altogether, most likely dead—how they died, no one knew, and neither did they wish to.

All they knew was that to survive in Cuiyan Mountain Villa, whether as a servant or a lowly manservant, one had to abide by strict rules. Any violation of the villa's commands usually meant vanishing without a trace; in Cuiyan Town, the villa was the sole authority.

Inside the courtyard.

The five maids cautiously entered the hall.

The room was quite spacious, and there was a bedroom inside. Upon entering, they saw a young man clad in white, very handsome, sitting there with a smile, observing the five newcomers.

"Greetings, Young Master," said the maids.

All of them were new to the villa and had never met the esteemed Second Young Master before. They only knew his name was Bai Shiyong, but nothing of his disposition. Having braced for the worst, they were pleasantly surprised to see a refined and handsome gentleman upon meeting him.

The nervous, hesitant maids now felt a slight easing of tension in their hearts. Sold to Cuiyan Mountain Villa without any choice, they were destined to serve. If their service was for a handsome gentleman, the resistance in their hearts diminished substantially; some even began to consider how to please Bai Shiyong and raise his spirits.

"Very well, no need for formalities. Since you've come to my room, you are all mine now," Bai Shiyong said gently, addressing the maid at the forefront, "Come here and tell me your name."

Approaching, the roughly sixteen or seventeen-year-old maid bowed to Bai Shiyong and said softly:

"This servant's name is Ying'er... My Lord..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Shiyong's hand shot out to pull her into his embrace, his palm softly caressing her chest, saying, "Ying'er, hm? A nice name, I'll remember that."

Ying'er, finding the handsome young man's face close to hers, blushed to her ears, her body squirming but not daring to resist. She said meekly, "Ying'er is a virgin, I beg the Young Master to be gentle..."

"Ah, be gentle? Of course, I will savor you slowly," Bai Shiyong said with a trace of a smile.

Spurt!

Blood spattered.

Ying'er's expression froze on the spot, feeling a pain in her chest, and saw Bai Shiyong's hand was stained red with fresh blood, clenching a still-beating heart.

The flicker of timidity and shyness in her eyes was suddenly filled with endless terror. Feeling her strength drain away rapidly, she wanted to say something but couldn't make a sound, only being able to watch in horror as Bai Shiyong's mouth suddenly widened and swallowed her beating heart whole, chewing a couple of times.
