Chapter 10 – First Tutorial Quest (9)
"A-A demon?"
Miaomiao lost his strength but he still struggled to breathe. He didn't understand what the silver hair woman's words.
"What are you? The lost race incubus? An orc? A doppelganger? A slime? A vampire? Or a mimic? A first-stage human cultivator can't possess this much strength."
The woman smiled at Miaomiao, but her freezing aura suppressed Miaomiao's qi. She choked him and raised his body high.
Miaomiao was helpless against her. His legs kicked the snow woman, struggling to remove her hands. Unfortunately, it didn't hurt her.
"I'm a human!"
The woman's friendly smile faded. She put Miaomiao down on the ground and pulled his face up against her, so she could stare into his eyes, "Say it to my face! Are you a human or a demon!?"
"I'M A HUMAN, BITCH! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?"
Miaomiao lost it and yelled. He didn't care anymore if he would provoke this master.
The snow woman's blue eyes gazed into the eyes of Miaomiao in silence for 10 seconds. Her blue eyes changed to yellow for a brief moment, but they reverted back to the old color. Her friendly smile reappeared, "I see that you've told me the truth."
She withdrew her freezing qi from Miaomiao's body and helped him up. She patted his pants and introduced herself, "My name is Xu Xiuying. I'm the brothel mama and the vice master of Silver Phoenix Sect. I'm so sorry that I've offended you, junior Mao. Please forgive this old lady, okay?"
"Huh?" Miaomiao frowned and raised his eyebrows in doubt. He couldn't understand this woman, "Okay? Nice to meet you?"
"I see that you're confused. Let's do it this way. You can request services from any girl in this brothel except my disciples. You don't have to pay a dime for their services 'cause it's on the house. Let's take it as an apologift, okay?"
"Apologift, wha-?" Miaomiao still didn't believe her, "I don't believe in free goods. You almost killed me just now. What's your goal?"
Xu Xiuying squinted her eyes in annoyance, but she resumed her business smile, "It's a sample of our products. We'll let you have a test run if our brothel is worthy of your time and money, so you can come back and buy our girls in the future."
"…"
Xu Xiuying's words made sense, but Miaomiao didn't trust her anymore. Everyone in this world fought for their interests, greed, and desire, even if they had to kill.
'If it wasn't because of the urgent quest, I wouldn't have had come here in the first place! I'll play along with this woman one more time, and I'm out of this city! I'd rather live in a rural village and get an ugly girlfriend to dual-cultivate than living here and getting myself killed by these people!'
Miaomiao gritted his teeth, but he nodded, "That offer… I'll take it."
Xu Xiuying smiled and pulled out a catalog of her employee portraits from her spatial ring. She gave it to Miaomiao, "Pick one."
Miaomiao took the album and viewed it.
Then…

'Hmm?'
Miaomiao squinted his eyes and glanced at the system message. Then, he flipped through the album to find the worker number S053.
'System, why do you want me to pick this girl?'

The rewards changed, but the quest content became more specific. Miaomiao couldn't complete it by having sex with any random woman anymore.
Miaomiao frowned and inspected the girl in question. The prostitute was in the "Slave" category. She was a pretty young girl who could easily become a Korean idol. Her eyes and eyebrows slanted up like a phoenix, but her small mouth looked delicate and smooth. Just by looking at her photo, Miaomiao had an urge of kissing her lips.
However, unlike other girls Miaomiao had met in the brothel, this girl had short black hair that only reached her neck.
'A slave? The system wants me to mate with a slave?'
His mouth curved down, doubting the system quest and its purpose. He didn't want to go through with it, but the death threat couldn't be ignored.
'Fine. I'll complete the quest as instructed.'
Miaomiao sighed and showed Xu Xiuying this girl's picture, "I want this girl."
"A slave? You have a unique taste. Of course, I'll send you to her right away! For one night, you can do anything to her!"
Xu Xiuying laughed and snapped her fingers. A sci-fi-like portal opened below Miaomiao's feet. He fell into the warp hole.
"Have fun."
…
*POOF* *POEK*
Miaomiao's butt landed on a small bed in an unknown bedroom. Because of the spring bed, it bounced and sent Miaomiao to the floor next to the bed.
"OUCH! GODDAMMIT, BITCH!!"
Xu Xiuying's portal closed, but Miaomiao could see that the gate connected to the ceiling of this room. He stood up and looked around to check where he was.
"Umm, sir?"
Miaomiao paused when his eyes met with a pretty girl.
It was the girl in the catalog, the slave with serial number S053. She wore short kimono, the same outfit as Ma Xingjuan, but the clothes were too small for her chest and her hips. The thin pieces of clothes couldn't even cover her private parts and her panties.
On her forehead, a glowing red tattoo, DEBT SLAVE S053, could be seen, which degraded her natural beauty and her pretty face. The small pink lips parted, revealing her clean white teeth and her tongue.
The girl was in shock when Miaomiao suddenly fell from a ceiling warp gate. She stuttered and trembled like a scaredy mouse.
Miaomiao and S053 looked at each other in silence. Both were awkward, and they didn't know what to say to break the ice.
"S-Sir, are you alright?" S053 mustered her courage and spoke first.
Miaomiao came back to his senses and coughed, "I'm fine. Say, where is this place?"
"This is room 5053. It's my room, sir."
"Huh? Err."
While Miaomiao didn't know what to say to this pretty sexy slave to explain the situation, Xu Xiuying's voice rang in their ears.
[S053, this man is your first customer! Serve him for a night, and I'll decrease your debt by 20 spirit stones.]
S053 widened her eyes and dropped her jaw. Her eyes revealed joy and sadness at the same time.
"R-Really?"
[This person is my guest, so that's your pay.]
S053 bit her lower lip. She glanced at Miaomiao. Then, she looked away, "But, it's my first time…"
[Normally, that only elite workers can enjoy that kind of commission. You have two choices. One you can keep your virginity and continue working as a maid for another 10 years before you can free yourself from the debt. Or two, you sacrifice that useless pride, then you can be freed instantly. Your current debt is only 20 spirit stones.]
"…"
[You won't get this opportunity again. Think carefully. Spend another 10 years paying off your debt as a maid or have a one-night stand to pay off what your parents owe me.]
Listening to the conversation between S053 and Xu Xiuying, Miaomiao felt bad for this slave girl. He wanted to say something, but it got stuck in his throat.
'So, her parents must have sold her to that woman. Twenty spirit stones are 20,000 freaking gold coins! Wait, that's 20 million taels of silver! What a harsh debt.'
S053 was on the verge of crying. Miaomiao didn't know what she was thinking or worrying, but it pained him.
Because of the suffocating development and a girl's sad face, Miaomiao embraced S053 and patted her back.
"I'll take responsibility. You can be my wife. You don't have to sell yourself to other men to make money!"
"Eh?"
S053's face reddened as she was shocked and flustered because of Miaomiao's sudden proposal. Even Xu Xiuying who was monitoring them from the fifteenth floor was surprised.
[Ahem! Junior Mao, do you have any idea what you're doing?]
"I don't, but I want this girl as my wife. So what?"
Miaomiao he didn't even know S053's real name. Yet, his remaining bits of his gentleman's side wanted to save this girl from her dilemma. Also, Miaomiao had to consummate with S053 eventually, so he wanted to take responsibility.
[I don't think you don't know what you're doing. Well, back to the main topic. S053, what are you going to do? Are you going to serve him, or are you going to take it slow?]
S053 looked at Miaomiao's face in hesitation. After a few seconds of reconsideration, she smiled at him, "I will serve him."
[Good! Have fun, you two! I won't interfere with your lovey-dovey Snoo-Snoo anymore.]
Xu Xiuying's voice faded. S053 and Miaomiao were left alone, hugging each other.
"Erm," the red face girl extended her arms and hugged Miaomiao, "I'm inexperienced, so please be gentle."
Miaomiao sighed. He stroked her hair, "What's your name?"
"Jiang Lan, sir."
Miaomiao pulled his body and head back to look at Jiang Lan's face up close, "I promise. I'll make you the happiest woman on earth!"
Miaomiao princess-carried Jiang Lan to the small bed. He stripped her clothes before he kissed Jiang Lan's belly.
