Bai Xueyue looked up at the man, her eyes wide open, a little trembling, nervous. She climbed up and looked at the floor. When the man who smelled of cigarettes and alcohol took a step towards her, she took a step back, hoping to blend into the dark corridor. Alas, it was inevitable that everyone saw her.

"What are you doing outside the room?" Viscount Bai Sheng roared and rushed towards her, but it was too late.

Bai Xueyue has caught the attention of Hechen's highest bidder. He is a man with deep pockets and a larger house that can accommodate as many wives as he wants, regardless of their ages, although he prefers them young and before they bleed.

Despite coming from Han Jian, a country where harems were frowned upon, he didn't mind. As long as he had the money to support his many wives, he wouldn't have any problems.

"Who is this, Viscount?" the man asked, showing a cunning smile. He was not ugly, nor handsome. There was nothing special about him, but there was a glimmer of malice and greed in his eyes.

Another voice answered him. "No one!" Viscount Mu Yihua exclaimed and rushed out of the room to see who it was. When she thought of Bai Xueyue being entangled in her spider web, she felt a pang of fear in her heart.

“Xueyue, go back to your room!” Viscount Mu Yihua asked, her voice more severe than usual. Her voice was high, revealing her panic.

Bai Xueyue was so frightened that her whole body went numb. She could feel the stern gaze of Viscount Bai asking her to leave, but her feet were firmly planted on the ground.

"Useless kid." Viscount Bai Sheng muttered, rushed to her, and grabbed her thin wrist. He pulled her forward, trying to drag her back to the room. He would beat her up tomorrow, but the man had other plans.

"Please wait a moment, Viscount." The man saw her gentle big eyes, raised his hand and licked his lips.

He could almost smell her fear before he saw it himself. When their eyes met, he felt his body buzz with interest. Despite her tattered figure and clothes, she was easily one of the most attractive women he had ever seen, as his young daughters loved the beauty of an imported porcelain doll. Her hair was plastered to her forehead, her cheeks were sunken, and she was obviously malnourished, but he could feed her easily, and her maliciousness was beyond her comprehension.

He licked his lips again, wondering what kind of woman she would be in bed with. So young, so pure, and he wanted her immediately. "Is this your youngest daughter?"

Viscount Mu Yihua froze. She was shocked by his suggestion and immediately walked out of the room to try to protect her daughter. Although she despised Xueyue, she couldn't bear to sell her child like an animal.

"She's just a child." Viscount Mu Yihua explained nervously.

"How old?"

She swallowed nervously and looked to her husband, begging for his mercy.

Viscount Bai Sheng did not let his wife go either. He glanced at the thin child beside him, who was petite and looked several years younger than his actual age.

"She's almost sixteen," Viscount Bai Sheng replied cheerfully. He released her wrists, grasped her shoulders, and turned her around, showing the man her front assets.

“Did she bleed?” the man asked, wondering if she had already had her first period. He would rather they hadn’t had it yet, it would be better in bed that way. He would know.

Viscount Mu Yihua walked quickly towards her daughter, but her husband gave her a warning glare.

"Yes, recently." Viscount Bai Sheng replied. "But don't worry, she is not affected."

"Really?" the man asked, his eyes roaming over her from head to toe. His gaze lingered on her undeveloped breasts, and he licked his lips again. His attention returned to her eyes, like a fawn. She had the same eyes as the Viscountess. A smirk spread across his face.

"How much money should I give her?"

"What?" Bai Xueyue finally spoke, her voice very soft.

"It depends on what you want to get from her." Viscount Bai Sheng replied indifferently.

He ran his hands through her hair, his lips twitching as he found a tangle. He tried to repair her appearance in the hope of selling her for a higher price. If he could get rid of this unwanted dregs and make a profit from it, it would be killing two birds with one stone.

"If it's just a slight touch, considering our friendship, I don't mind asking for a high price. However, if you are willing to marry her, then I am willing to discuss further." Viscount Bai Sheng added.

"You want more investors, don't you? You know, I'm from Han River, where I have a lot of rich friends." The man began, rubbing his throat and shifting his weight to one leg.

He analyzed her flaws, or rather, the parts of her body that had not yet developed, like her breasts and hips were too small for childbearing. That was fine. He would stretch her.

"Yes, investors are also welcome." Viscount Bai Sheng said slowly. "But is this all you offer?"

The man snorted in response. "Wait until I get a good look at her. Open her mouth."

Bai Xueyue kept struggling to break free from her father's control. Why did this man peek into her mouth?

"For...?" Viscount Bai Sheng asked, confused by this puzzling request.

"I can't have a wife with bad teeth. How will she feed my children herself?"

Viscount Mu Yihua froze when he heard his words. Xueyue, now a mother? She is still a child, not an adult woman at all!

"Very good." Viscount Bai Sheng said nervously. He reached out and grabbed Xueyue's chin roughly without warning, biting it tightly until she screamed in pain and showed her teeth.

"Hmm..." The man stroked his chin and tilted his head. "I'll take her for 500 gold."

Viscount Bai Sheng hesitated about the price. It was not enough. Five hundred gold could barely buy a decent house, and he wanted more than that. "Hmm..." He obviously hesitated and shook his head slowly.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to separate my daughter and I... She is my youngest child, and my wife is very attached to her." Viscount Bai Sheng said gritting his teeth with a smile on his face.

The man smiled and responded. "If you want a higher price, just tell me. How about 1,500 gold coins?"

Viscount Bai Sheng's eyes lit up. "Oh my God, that's a——"

"But first, I want to taste her."

"No!" Viscount Mu Yihua yelled, finally deciding that enough was enough. Xueyue was only fifteen years old and still a woman. This unfair lord was too much! Even if he was an earl with a higher title than her husband, she couldn't tolerate it anymore!

"Yes, Uncle Qin, you wouldn't want such an inexperienced child..." Viscount Mu Yihua added hurriedly, softening his tone, hoping to ease the tense atmosphere.

"The less experience, the better," Qin Bojue replied sullenly. He turned to Viscount Bai Sheng and clicked his tongue irritably. "You should discipline your wife better. If that was my wife and she said something inappropriate, I would slap her in front of the children."

Viscount Bai Sheng heard this and his body tensed. He would never touch his wife, not in this life or the next. She was too important to be hurt. If he abused her and she suddenly couldn't give birth to an heir for him, she would become useless in his life, and the Mu family would blame him.

Despite this, he still forced a smile and wanted to respond, but was interrupted by Earl Qin.

"Because of such disrespect, I don't know whether I should keep your daughter. What if she has a rebellious personality like your wife? It's such a despicable behavior for a woman to talk about herself. It should be used for pleasure, not entertainment." said.

Viscount Bai Sheng gnashed his teeth, irritated by this arrogant earl. His fingers dug deep into Xue Yue's shoulders. He watched with satisfaction as she cried in pain and frowned. Okay. Seeing her like this, his frustration eased a little.

"How do you want me to show you her obedience? I disciplined my daughter so well that she doesn't dare to talk nonsense or look at people. Even now, she looks at the floor instead of looking directly into the eyes."

“Obedience can be pretended.” Qin Bo shook his head angrily. He had a daughter who liked to pretend to obey and immediately attack when he was not paying attention.

“Well, I’m not interested in someone as unruly as your wife.” Earl Qin sighed and shook his head in disappointment. “I’ll see you next time I go into town.”

"Then, when was that?" Viscount Bai Sheng replied nervously.

"I don't know. Weeks, months, or..." Earl Qin smiled evilly. "Years?"

Viscount Bai Sheng's heart suddenly dropped to his stomach. One thousand five hundred gold for Xue Yue. No one had ever offered him such a high price to marry her. He was so scared that such a good opportunity would never appear again.

"Have a safe journey, Viscount," said Earl Qin. He turned and took a step forward, and his companion called out nervously.

"Wait a minute."

Earl Qin paused, but did not face the Viscount. His lips twitched as he tried to hold back the excited smile that was about to burst out. His plan was working.

"Uh, do you want to give her a try? Touch her here and there and see how much she's worth."

"Some...?" Earl Qin looked thoughtful, turning his chin to look at the Viscount.

"Yes."

“Why would I caress my wife for just a few seconds when I could easily play with her while she waits for me in the carriage?”

"Excellently-"

"Humph, Viscount, you are a bitch."

“Wait!” Qin Bo took another step forward, and Viscount Bai Sheng called out hurriedly. “Okay,” he said with gritted teeth. “As long as you want, until you think she is suitable for you.”

The corners of Qin's mouth curled up into a Cheshire smile, revealing his yellow and imperfect teeth. "Oh, you are so generous today, Viscount! I am happy to accept this proposal."
