Chapter 307: Three Years in Langye (VII)

She untied her waistband and only took off her top layer of clothing. She was still wearing two to three pieces of clothing under her outer layer. Upon seeing the situation, Jiang Pengji got up and walked towards Acao. Acao clenched her fists nervously and awkwardly.

She initially thought that a strange body was going to press against her body, but she saw a pair of fair, clean hands instead. They were really clean––even the rounded nails had some transparent luster.

The pair of hands put her clothes back on her body and tied a beautiful knot on her waistband. “You’re not here to do that.”

Of course, the excitement of the veterans who were waiting for the girl to undress and give away her body had to calm down for the time being.

Acao no longer kept her head down. She quietly lifted her head, wanting to see Jiang Pengji’s face. She was stunned. Jiang Pengji was even younger than she expected. Would such a young aristocrat find pleasure in her? She was confused.

Startled, Acao asked, “Then... what should I do?”

“Enjoy a luxurious life.” Jiang Pengji scrutinized Acao’s face carefully. According to Liu She’s confidant, the girl was 70 percent similar to the lady in the portrait.

If she was raised well, she would probably look even more similar to the lady. After a few touch ups in the future, it would be as if she was reborn.

Like what people said, beauty was not determined by one’s features. Even if a girl was very thin with a look of undisguisable fatigue on her face, she could still be called a beauty.

“Enjoy... a luxurious life?”

“Yes. You get to live like a princess.”

A princess? Acao was so shocked that her eyes widened. A princess was the daughter of an emperor––the superior princess!

“You have a very pretty face. It’ll let you live your best life for the rest of your life.” Jiang Pengji did not try to conceal her praise.

Even if Acao already had gray hair, a thin figure, and a withered face, she was still beautiful.

Acao regained her senses and her facial expression changed. She was pondering it. There was no free lunch in the world. How was such a good thing happening to her?

If she had such good fate, why was she bullied continuously by the local hooligans when she was eight years old and forced to crawl home half-dead? She was wronged, but her mother hit her with a piece of firewood, denounced her for being easy, and said that she was born to sell her body to men.

She had such a miserable life in the past. How could something good come to her now?

“I’ll let you live a better life than the princess.” Jiang Pengji sat in front of Acao and did not try to explain anything deliberately. She just wanted to see Acao’s reaction.

“Then... then... what do I have to do? How can I live a better life... than the princess?” Acao secretly grasped her sleeves tightly. She could not help but feel nervous and afraid facing Jiang Pengji.

Jiang Pengji smiled. The girl in front of her was of humble origin, but she was smart. She was a diamond in the rough.

“You have to be loyal to me. You have to overcome immense dangers and difficulties for me. You have to devote yourself to me and I’ll let you live a good life. It’s an equivalent exchange. Nothing in this world comes free. I know how your life was in the past. It’s not even too much to describe it as hell on earth. Are you willing to become an object to someone else for your whole life and be humiliated for just a few coins?”

The emotions in Acao’s heart were stirred up. Countless disgusting faces flashed across her mind, from the teenage gangsters to unashamed, old men.

She could not help but wonder how the person in front of her said that she had value. How could she not seize it and live a life that everyone despised instead?

She no longer wanted to live the kind of life in which she had to welcome and send off customers. If that continued, she would die underneath the bodies of men sooner or later.

She was only 14 years old, but she had already lost her charm over the years. Her mother valued the young prostitutes even more. They received a fixed number of customers daily. She was the only one who had to undress herself to serve customers whenever someone paid money... Why?

Age was something that declined the most in that field of work. When one was 14 and had been a prostitute for so many years, they would be destroyed completely no matter how delicate they were.

Acao could not help but think of the 11-year-old girl her mother had just purchased. She could not help but tremble when her voice echoed in her ears. Gritting her teeth, Acao could not help but grab Jiang Pengji’s sleeves with her hands. She begged while crying, “I’m not willing to. Please don’t send me back.”

“Devote yourself to me then.” Jiang Pengji’s voice was flat, as if she was just informing her.

“Okay!”

The audience in the streaming room said that their outlooks on the world, their life, and their values were once again shattered by the streamer. Was she streaming on human trafficking?

Qiaokeli Dangao: “I’m dumbfounded. Traffickers are not even as domineering as the streamer.”

Laosiji Lianmeng: “I seem to understand a little. Is the streamer trying to use a seductive woman to ensnare a man?”

Niuzhatang: “Using a seductive woman to ensnare a man? These women are usually volunteers. Isn’t the streamer coaxing her and combining threats with inducements?”

Yinyuejia Zhuge Qinmo: “You all aren’t paying close attention to the streamer. The streamer has obviously revealed a message just now through her words. This little girl probably did not live a normal life in the past. Didn’t you notice that her neck is full of bruises? The streamer wants to use her to corrupt somebody and sell her womanly charms. The little girl can then escape from hell with this opportunity and live a good life. It’s considered an equivalent exchange.”

Even so, some audience members in the streaming room could still not accept it.

The streamer, Jiang Pengji, was simply challenging their views on the world, life, and values. However, some of the viewers in the streaming room seemed to have a worse view on the world, life, and values than that of Jiang Pengji.

Laosiji Lianmeng: “You can’t be so frank and outspoken. She’s someone who can be reached by benefits. Who knows if she’d be attracted by even greater interests? You should try to persuade her sentimentally and rationally. Little girls are more emotional, and they’re easier to deceive. I believe that you can do it.”

Yinyuejia Zhuge Qinmo: “Well, although the viewer above is a little cold-blooded, you do have to be more careful. There’s nothing wrong with it.”

The audience in the streaming room did not say a word. According to Jiang Pengji’s personality, how could she not consider all of that?

She could see Acao’s behavior clearly.

There were at least two years before Liu She’s daughter married Wuma Jun. In those two years, it would depend on if Acao could stand the ordeal and become a valuable chess token. Moreover, Jiang Pengji did not need Acao to do anything dangerous.

She just had to make herself chubby, dress up beautifully every day, avoid conspiracies, and live a lazy and comfortable life.

She was destined to be exalted to the skies with her looks alone.

“Acao isn’t a good name. I’ll change it to something else.” Jiang Pengji tilted her head and thought for a while. She said meaningfully, “You’ll be Huijun now.”

Acao did not know what the characters were for the name Huijun, but it was a very nice and proper name. It did not sound like a name of a poor girl.

She bowed to Jiang Pengji. “Thank you, Master...”

“You’re working for me, so of course, I can’t treat you badly.” Jiang Pengji asked, “What do you want to do most now?”

Acao, now Huijun, thought about it seriously and asked her timidly, “What I want to do most... No matter what?”

“I’ll definitely try my best to make it happen.”

Huijun bit her lip. With a pale face, she said firmly, “I want to kill a few people. They’re evil people and they should die!”

If it was not for the few hooligans, she probably would not have become a prostitute... even though she knew that it was unrealistic. It was because her mother had already taken a fancy on her looks and felt that she was valuable. However, she lost her virginity. In her mother’s opinion, she was valueless.

Jiang Pengji responded with a smile, “No problem.”
