The room was filled with concubines who ate on the round table containing six to seven people per table, meanwhile, there were dozens of tables untidily spread out in a sizable room while maids came and went serving food and drink while women in skimpy dresses exposed their ample breasts and Their thin skirts that show the silhouette of their legs without care, most of them looks intoxicate by the alcohol anyway.

All of them were having meals while laughing and talking with loud voices rather than concubines they are more like prostitutes in a brothel, these poor women have forgotten who they were and molded themselves into the kind of women Wei Zu Tian would like, Guan Men Niang forehead creased even after all these times she still not used to this sight.

The voices in the room instantly diminished when they saw Guan Men Niang, many of them showing surprised expressions while others showed curious looks but many scorned Guan Men Niang’s presence.

“Oh my, for what honor should we visit Lady Guan?” mocked one of the women in a bright pink dress and plump lips, immediately the other girls laughed.

Guan Men Niang doesn’t care, in this dirty place, she doesn’t need to mind her attitude besides Guan men Niang knows who is that woman actually is, just like the others she was brought to this place without her consent as well.

That woman was kidnapped while visiting Chang Lan’s kingdom two years ago, she was actually a princess from a small country, she was sent to Chang Lan kingdom as part of a tribute for the emperor unfortunately her lascivious body and alluring face immediately caught Wei Zu Tian’s attention.

At first, she also expressed strong resistance beside she had heard Wei Zu Tian’s scandalous reputation and how many women she had the rumors even said Wei Zu Tian also had male concubines so of course a haughty princess like her would refuse Wei Zu Tian ‘kind offer’

But the ending was clear, the emperor didn’t want to offend Wei Zu Tian and Duan Shu Shu just for a woman, the emperor gave the woman to Wei Zu Tian with pleasure, then what could a young woman who had no place to go home do? could only follow Wei Zu Tian’s wishes.

At first, she still carried his princess temperament, she obliviously thought Wei Zu Tian would at least treat her with respect given her noble background but she was very wrong… her haughtiness and proud attitude only awakened Wei Zu Tian’s sadistic side to conquer her so Wei Zu Tian destroyed every last bit of dignity and honor she had, he abused and shattered her in every inhumane way possible until she discarded her own identity and become the whore that Wei Zu Tian want it to be.

No, she had no hated for any of them other than pitied, and she pitty them even more because unlike them she finally see the light at the end of her tunnel thanks to Wu San Bu and Hei Shen sect members.

That Princess’s name was Tuya, she comes from a small kingdom far away from the Cang Lan kingdom, at that time her country was hit by a long drought to seek help her father sent her to the Cang Lan kingdom as part of the tribute as well as showing good faith in return for a favor from the Cang Lan kingdom, but who would have thought she ends up met Wei Zu Tian and unfortunately caught his attention, alas she was easily snatched from the emperor’s hands without further ado.

Tuya never expected that the emperor of a powerful kingdom like the Cang Lan kingdom would kneel before Wei Zu Tian’s willfulness. Like a cow being traded in the market, Tuya was bought by Wei Zu Tian with two thousand cows, five hundred goats, and two hundred thousand taels of gold, hence the worst part is that her father give her without batting his eyelids.

At such a young age, the proud princess Tuya is forced to realize what she actually worth is as a human being, turn out is not as much as she thought.

Tuya herself has complex feelings towards Wei Zu Tian, ​​although she hates Wei Zu Tian strangely she feels jealous when Wei Zu Tian sleep with other women or men, she hates to admit she likes Wei Zu Tian’s attention even though it usually doesn’t end well for her but after a while, she didn’t care, little by little she started to enjoy Wei Zu Tian’s sexual perversion she likes how he dominant her make her feel ashamed and unworthy, who knows, perhaps she already went crazy?

But Tuya is not the only one, many of them are like that. the fact is, if someone has been beaten for a long time, degraded, and constantly humiliated, they will slowly get used to it, gradually they start normalizing the violence they experience, as the result, they subconsciously change their mindset and self-value so they can cope with their situation.

But among these crazy men and women Guan Men Niang stood out like a sore thumb at least in Tuya opinion, Guan Men Niang was one of the women who accompanied Wei Zu Tian for a long time, many women who came before and after had been thrown away like a useless toy while others died at the hands of Wei Zu Tian himself or someone else, only Guan Men Niang who managed to stay alive after all these times.

The strange is, compare to other Wei Zu Tian plaything Guan Men Niang is the only one who is still able to maintain a little bit of her dignity for not truly given herself to Wei Zu Tian,

Unlike her Guan Men Niang never resigned to her fate thought it was faint but Guan Men Niang was still brave enough to be hopeful and for that she envy Guan Men Niang.

“Miss Guan why are you here? I thought you think we are dirty so you don’t want to mingle with us?” Tuya quipped as she can’t hide her jealousy how Guan Men Niang never lose her temperament as a noble daughter even after she stay in this wretched place for so long, meanwhile she become more and more like a whore in a brothel.

“I never thought like that to any of you?” Guan Men Niang sincerely said then she took an empty seat at one of the tables and one of the waiters poured wine for him, Guan men Niang frowned slightly as the strong smell of alcohol hit his nose still he swallowed his discontent and took a small sip.

Hearing Guan Men Niang’s answer Tuya answer sarcastically “How kind of you…”

“Perhaps Miss Guan has finally realized that she is no longer the noble lady she used to be,” said another girl in a half-drunk state. “Just like us, she finally realizes that she was nothing more than a tool to fulfill our master’s desires”

The other girl guffawed “Who knows maybe Miss Guan enjoyed it too, she’s too proud to admit it!”

“That’s right, I saw for myself how she served our Master, you could say Miss Guan has some skills!” the other chimed in.

The room was suddenly filled with boisterous laughter, some of them hitting the table as they laughed, while others made more vulgar comments.

Guan Men Niang didn’t show any reaction as she was already numb to their vulgar words, she had long understood that they were only venting their bitterness and frustration because just like her they were also trapped in this hell hole.

“Maybe I’m just worried,” Guan Men Niang calmly said then she casually took another sip of wine.

“What do you mean?” asked Tuya.

Guan Men Niang sighed “Didn’t you hear it? our master lost the battle with Long Ming and now they are saying the Hei Shen sect is heading to our sect, I’m afraid that Long Ming will destroy our sect” Guan men Niang looks grim and continued, “regardless how hard our lives in this place, we cannot change the fact that we have nowhere to return if something were to happen to the Heaven’s Gate sect…” she looked dejected.

“Nothing will happen!” one of the girls interrupted while pounding the table.

“That’s right, this place is protected with the most powerful barrier made by the Wei clan ancestor himself so there’s no way Long Ming can break our powerful array!” another girl said with utmost confidence.

One by one express their confidence towards the heaven’s Gate sect protective barrier, although life in this place was hard, however, they fully understand that there will no other place will accept them if they left the Heaven’s Gate sect, other than brothels of course since the society consider them as tainted women.

“Didn’t Master ever tell you about the barrier?” Tuya suddenly speaks.

“What’s wrong with that barrier? I know our protective barrier is very strong but Hei Shen’s strength can’t be underestimated otherwise why is everyone at Heaven’s Gate being so alert these days” Guan Men Niang said again.

Knowing Wei Zu Tian didn’t share this information with Guan Men Niang he felt a little proud, does that mean his position is actually higher than Guan Men Niang? Tuya suddenly had the urge to show off in front of Guan Men Niang.

“Master once told me that the barrier is impossible to penetrate from the outside because the person who made it add the reversal ability means that no matter how hard Long Ming tries to break the array, power will only reverse to him therefore Long Ming might even die from it,” Ta Yu smiled triumphantly everyone was awed and smiled in relief only Guan Men Niang subconsciously tightened her grip, luckily, she was still able to maintain her calm expression.

“That’s good to hear, I can sleep peacefully now….” Guan men Niang smiled but the next second she tilted her head and ask again “But, are you sure the array is impenetrable?” she raised her brows showing her doubt.

“Yes.!” Tayu waved her hand in the air then she took a sip of wine, her face turned bright red “The array can only be broken from the inside, so we are all safe here!”

“Oh, is that so….” Guan Men Niang’s eyes glint dangerously.
