Chapter 3697: Sword Fighting Across the Realm (36)

Whether Qin Nianzhi was imprisoned by a women-plucking bandit or sold to a brothel by one, her fate was to be ruined by men. The only difference was whether it was one man or multiple men.

Ning Shu searched for Qin Nianzhi in one brothel after another. If she was in a brothel, Ning Shu might have a hard time but could still find her. However, if she was locked up by a women-plucking bandit, she wouldn't be easy to find.

Yin Nanlian felt the chances of finding Qin Nianzhi in a brothel were slim. It was also possible that the women-plucking bandit had ruined Qin Nianzhi, pulled up his pants, and left, while Qin Nianzhi left the Wanjian Manor on her own.

Ning Shu, on the other hand, felt this possibility was quite small. Women-plucking bandits were always sneaky. However, if Qin Nianzhi was alone and a woman with no power to resist, wouldn't she be entirely at the women-plucking bandit's mercy? In that situation, how could the women-plucking bandit not have any wicked thoughts?

She would be easy to find in a brothel, but it would be truly difficult if the women-plucking bandit had locked her up.

Ning Shu felt she really broke her heart worrying over Qin Nianzhi. If she didn't suffer a loss now, she would definitely suffer a huge loss in the future. The human heart was the most chaotic and changeable thing. Perhaps a tiny matter could cause a drastic change in a person's heart.

Do not mistake naive and cute for interesting. The world is so chaotic. Who is that naivety for?

Yin Nanlian followed Ning Shu to visit brothels every day. She was very constrained at first, but by now she was completely used to it. She sat in every brothel like a lord, asking the madam if there were any new girls in the establishment.

Ning Shu and Yin Nanlian searched for a while but couldn't find Qin Nianzhi. Ning Shu couldn't help but wonder if her guess was wrong.

Perhaps Qin Nianzhi had left on her own.

A women-plucking bandit would only sell Qin Nianzhi to a place relatively close to Wanjian Manor. Would he really carry a woman a great distance just to sell her?

After ruining a woman and making a small fortune in passing, he would definitely want to take her off his hands quickly.

Qin Nianzhi wasn't in a brothel. Perhaps the women-plucking bandit only defiled Qin Nianzhi and hadn’t sold her?

Ning Shu: …

"We have been searching for so long. Can we really find Miss Qin?" Yin Nanlian couldn't help but ask. "Why do you always focus on brothels?"

"Because Qin Nianzhi has an unbreakable bond with brothels," Ning Shu said casually. Last time it was also a brothel, and this time, she might’ve been sold to one again.

Ning Shu knocked her own head. Perhaps she went off to have a deep, abusive romance with the women-plucking bandit. Perhaps the domineering women-plucking bandit had acquired a taste for her. Women from before meant absolutely nothing, and only this woman tasted the best.

This completely fit the storyline of this world.

Ning Shu started filling in the blanks in her mind again. Once she started imagining things, she couldn't control it.

Ning Shu visited all the brothels closest to Wanjian Manor, but she didn't find Qin Nianzhi. It seemed Qin Nianzhi really, truly wasn't in a brothel, which meant she might not have been sold.

Perhaps she went off to fall in love with the domineering women-plucking bandit. Perhaps this women-plucking bandit was incredibly handsome. Perhaps this women-plucking bandit only became one for the thrill, and his actual identity was noble.

The female lead's ability was to make any man fall in love with her.

Yin Nanlian saw Ning Shu's strange expression and couldn't help but ask, "Are you hungry again?"

"I am not hungry," Ning Shu said.

It seemed Qin Nianzhi's whereabouts were truly hard to find. Ning Shu was a bit frustrated.

She would take her time looking. What could she do even if she couldn't find her? If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have gone beyond the frontier, as her main goal was to find a world origin.

Ning Shu wasn't in a rush and searched slowly. As long as Qin Nianzhi wasn't dead, she would appear. After all, the entrustor and Qin Nianzhi had an unbreakable bond. She was the second male lead, after all. Whether it was out of hate or love, she would always show up.

During her free time, Ning Shu practiced her cultivation diligently. Nothing was more important than strength.

Ning Shu and Yin Nanlian found an inn and settled down. After all, in this world, Ning Shu was part of the property-less class and could only live in inns.

Yin Nanlian went wherever Ning Shu went, constantly following her, leaving Ning Shu truly speechless.

If only such a cute girl were a man.

Compared to men, Ning Shu found that girls were even cuter. That was excluding the love-obsessed girls—the girls whose minds were full of sentimental grief and putting love above all else, of course. She felt that independent and strong girls were truly charming and had their own personalities.

Ning Shu just couldn't stand women who wanted to live or die for a man.

Always longing for someone to pet them. Since they chose to be petted, they should have the self-awareness of a pet.

Damn, was she turning bent?

Probably not, Ning Shu chanted ‘Amitabha’ in her heart.

Right now, she should discard the distinction of gender. Men and women were all people, and when they died, they were all souls alike.

Therefore, loving a girl was the same as loving a man.

Damn, what was she thinking!?

Chong Xuefeng was truly blessed to have a girl like Yin Nanlian like him.

Ning Shu eventually found Qin Nianzhi. The place she found her was still a brothel. She asked the madam if there were any new girls in the establishment. The madam actually said there was, just that she wasn't very obedient.

Ning Shu said she wanted to see her. Qin Nianzhi, who was dressed seductively, was pulled in.

Qin Nianzhi's face was thin. It was unknown what kind of torture she had endured to make her eyes lose all their color.

Their eyes met. When Qin Nianzhi saw Ning Shu, tears immediately flowed out, and she cried out hoarsely, "Senior Brother."

Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. It seemed Qin Nianzhi truly had an unbreakable bond with brothels.

Ning Shu gave the madam a little money, and the madam left with a beaming smile.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, why did you only come now?" Qin Nianzhi cried to Ning Shu.

Ning Shu asked, "Did the women-plucking bandit sell you?"

Qin Nianzhi's expression stiffened, and she looked at Ning Shu in horror. "How did you know?"

During this time, just as Ning Shu had guessed, the women-plucking bandit grew tired of tormenting Qin Nianzhi and promptly sold her off.

What kind of conscience could a women-plucking bandit, a man who used aphrodisiac incense to drug women, have? Ning Shu asked, "Where is that women-plucking bandit now?"

She needed to go and chop off the women-plucking bandit's appendage. This man targeted respectable women and ruined pure maidens. A man like that deserved to have his appendage chopped off.

Hearing Ning Shu's words, Qin Nianzhi thought Ning Shu was going to avenge her. Her tears immediately poured down. "Eldest Senior Brother."

"Junior Sister, have your martial arts been crippled?" After all, she had practiced martial arts since childhood. Why did it feel like Qin Nianzhi had no martial arts skills at all? Why was she always getting caught?

Qin Nianzhi said painfully, "Senior Brother, I was given skill-dissolving powder. My martial arts are gone, and my internal core has been shattered by someone."

Ning Shu: …

"Did the women-plucking bandit do it?" Ning Shu asked.

Qin Nianzhi was in total despair, and her expression was grim. It was obvious she harbored intense hatred for the women-plucking bandit.

Ning Shu truly hadn't anticipated this kind of situation. To think a women-plucking bandit would target Qin Nianzhi. He probably wanted to taste a woman fought over by martial arts experts.

Especially the woman of a demonic cult leader, who also held the identity of the expert Chong Xuefeng's former betrothed. Just thinking about it must’ve been enough to make that man excited, thrilled, and tremble all over.

If she had known it would be this kind of situation, she should have used the tracking system and not appeared in front of Qin Nianzhi.

Her brain had cramped up!
