《Life of a Villain》Chapter 34: Su Xin
Advertisement
Andy’s lips curled into a smile as that slouching figure drew his attention.
But the owner’s face turned ugly when he noticed Andy’s gaze fixed on the cage in the room's corner. He coughed lightly and said,
“That girl has already been booked, Young Master. You can also search for any other girl. And if none of the girls meet your criteria. I can plan for you.”
But the moment those words left his mouth, he froze on the spot, sweat cascading down his brow as his gaze was drawn to the young master’s slightly red eyes. He felt as if he were falling into an abyss until he heard a stern voice.
“What did you say?”
As the feeling faded, the owner shook his head, and when he looked up to see the Young Master before him, he noticed that the blue eyes were staring at him. He gulped slowly as his eyes scanned the room before settling on the man in front of him. His heart raced when he noticed that, except for the girl with blue hair, every woman was shaking uncontrollably as their gazes were fixed on the Young Master.
The owner hurriedly shook his head and said, “I... said nothing. The girl is yours now,”
"How much do I have to pay?" Andy asked
“No, no, no, how can I ask for money from you. You can consider it a gift from my side. You’re so lucky, we just brought the girl yesterday.” The owner replied while a drop of sweat rolled down his forehead.
While his eyes were fixed on the man in front of him, he nodded slightly as a pouch appeared in his hand, which he threw towards the owner as he turned around to face the cage.

Andy froze as he realized the girl peering at him with perplexed eyes. His heart raced as he’s never seen such a beauty before. Her oceanic blue hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her blue eyes were scrunched as she fixed her gaze on him. Her fair, soft skin complimented her slightly triangular face, while her rosy lips were cracked and her small dainty nose elevated her beauty to new heights.
Her body was draped in Green Robe, and her lean frame slouched on the ground, her back supported by the cage wall.
While her gaze was fixed on Andy’s, he smiled slightly and strolled towards her, his mind replaying every word about her written in the book. She was the only daughter of the Su Family’s patriarch in the upper world. She was born with a unique body that allowed her to break through with no bottlenecks. When the news of her talent spread throughout the upper world, many greedy eyes focused on the Su Family, who was one of the upper world’s Hegemon.
She was supposed to be the brightest star of her generation, but the heavens envied her when she was ambushed on her way to the ruins. Her maid betrayed her as her meridians were destroyed by poison, and the enemy’s brutal attack on her head caused her to lose her memories and she into this lower world after that epic battle.
She had no memories of her past when she awoke in this world, and she roamed the lower world before being captured by the Slave Traders and bought to this place.
In the book, following the events of the Sect’s Gathering, Fang Yan’s popularity soared as he was declared a once-in-a-thousand-years talent, and many people worshipped him. After the gathering, Fang Yan went for a walk and came across this Slave Shop, which he entered out of curiosity. And when he saw her in a cage, her beauty captivated him. And, just like today, the owner gifted him the girl.

But when he discovered that this girl couldn’t cultivate, he was disgusted, and he didn’t even touch her when he returned her to his place. Even though she was his maid, he kept his distance from her. And following the events of the Lu Family’s demise. He recruited her as Shi Yi’s exclusive maid.
Even though she loved him, she did not receive the response she had hoped for, but during her time with him, she discovered how selfish and Fang Yan was.
Even the gods couldn’t save the fool. Fang Yan did not know he was carrying a great treasure, as the idiocy dazzled him. The heavens pity her as her body unlocked yet another potential for self-healing. Her body and memory both recovered, and she left the world without even looking at Fang Yan.
When he saw her leaving the world, Fang Yan was filled with remorse and swore an oath to reclaim her heart. But by the time he got to the upper world, she was at the pinnacle, and he could only look up to her. He grew stronger slowly and steadily, and when he found out she was already married, a knot of regret formed in his heart. Which could only be opened by obtaining or killing her. But since another man had already touched her, hatred rose in his heart, and he killed her in one of the epic battles that helped him untie the knot in his heart.
Andy stood in front of the cage with a smile on his face, his eyes carefully observing the otherworldly beauty before him as if he was capturing her beauty in his mind.
He closed his eyes momentarily before taking a deep breath and turning around to signal the owner to open the cage and her lock.
When the owner noticed Andy staring at him, he quickly opened the cage, unlocked her, and backed away. But that girl was still slouching on the floor, her confused gaze fixed on Andy’s.
As he felt her confusion, he entered the cage, even though he could feel many eyes on him, his gaze was fixed on the beauty before him as he slowly extended his hand towards her.
As Her confused eyes shifted from Andy’s face to his hand, and she heard a soft voice, “You are Su Xin from now on.”
