Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

The injuries I sustained here in Chapter 114 really hurt!

Although Ji Chen was very resistant, he was indeed too weak to do anything but let the strong man carry him away.

But as they untied his ropes and were about to tear his clothes, Ji Chen quickly shielded himself, saying, "It's alright! I'll wash myself! No need for you to do this!"

Seeing this, the burly man didn't insist and simply left the room. Ji Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and his strength returned slightly.

After giving himself a quick wash, Ji Chen looked at the blue robe lying to the side and realized it wasn't as cool as he had imagined, so he boldly put it on.

As soon as he put on his clothes, the burly man pushed open the door and led him to the madam.

The madam looked at Ji Chen, dressed in blue, and a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes. Not bad, he had the appearance of a gentle and refined young master, which was the type that young masters from noble families liked the most. With a little more training, although he could not compare with that person at the auction banquet three days later, he would definitely make a fortune.

Thinking of this, the madam's gaze towards Ji Chen softened considerably. "Do you have any talents?"

"I know a little about playing the piano." Ji Chen had already thought of all his answers while taking a bath, so he didn't seem too flustered when he answered.

“Very good.” The madam’s eyes lit up. “I won’t let you see any customers for the next few days. You should practice your zither. In three days, I will auction off your virginity at a high price.”

The madam didn't hide anything; as she spoke, her eyes gradually sharpened.

"Don't even think about running away. I'll have someone watching you. If you dare to run away, you know what the consequences will be."

Ji Chen nodded, feigning a slight tremor, "Okay."

The madam smiled with satisfaction. It was good that he knew fear; that made him easier to control.

"Alright, this is Green Leaf. From today onwards, it will stay by your side, keeping an eye on you and teaching you bedroom arts as well."

As the madam spoke, she introduced the person beside her. Only then did Ji Chen look at the teenager who hadn't spoken yet, and inwardly he couldn't help but complain to Qing Guangding.

"This...isn't he just a little kid?! How does someone so young know so much?!"

Qingguang Ding strongly agreed with his idea, "If this were with Master Yaoguang, it would be considered a crime!"

"Forget your previous name. From today onwards, your name is Wen Zhu," the madam said.

Despite all the complaints, Ji Chen still maintained a docile expression, replying, "Yes."

After leaving the madam's place, Green Leaf led Ji Chen to her residence. Ji Chen followed behind Green Leaf, observing the surrounding environment.

However, when passing by a separate house, I glanced at it a couple more times. There were many government officials guarding the front of that house.

Over the next three days, besides practicing the piano and being forced to listen to things he shouldn't have, Ji Chen also gained a general understanding of this world.

There is only a newly established dynasty here. The previous dynasty's rulers were tyrannical and were overthrown by the new rulers, who then created the new dynasty.

Unfortunately, after only a few years of peace, a barbaric tribe suddenly rose up in the north of the dynasty. Although they did not burn, kill, or plunder, they launched a fierce war against the dynasty. They have now conquered seven cities and turned them into their own territory. The tribe's leader declared himself king and called himself King Yi.

Although the dynasty wanted to destroy the new king, the people needed to reproduce and thrive after the change of dynasty. In addition, after the Yi King of this tribe conquered the city, he did not burn, kill and plunder the people. Instead, he allowed them to continue to live peacefully, just like when the dynasty was in power.

Therefore, the imperial court decided to make peace and invited Prince Yi to the capital. He was also allowed to choose any noble or royal relative of the dynasty to marry as his queen. Prince Yi readily agreed.

This is the general direction of this world. Right now, these things are irrelevant to Ji Chen. He is just curious how a newly appeared divine artifact could know so much and construct such a nearly complete world.

The Azure Cauldron's answer was that the artifact could create a new one based on the outside world as understood by those who entered the secret realm, but the direction of this world depended on those who entered the secret realm.

Ji Chen's current body is not his real body; it's just that his soul has entered this place while his physical body is still lying somewhere outside.

However, the injuries sustained here really hurt! Ji Chen looked at his hand, which he had accidentally cut while playing the piano, and confirmed this.

When Green Leaf saw that Ji Chen's hand was bleeding profusely, she panicked and rushed to the pharmacy to get several boxes of ointment, which she then applied to Ji Chen's hand.

Ji Chen was someone the madam specifically requested to be carefully served; if he suffered even the slightest injury, he would be held responsible.

Seeing Green Leaf's condition, Ji Chen comforted him, saying he wouldn't tell anyone, but only asked him to bring some medicinal herbs, explaining that they could quickly heal wounds and that no one would notice his injury.

Green Leaf was skeptical, but ultimately listened to Ji Chen and went to the pharmacy to get the herbs. She watched Ji Chen drink the medicine after it was brewed, and only felt relieved after seeing the wound quickly scab over.

Later, when Ji Chen asked him to bring the herbs needed to remove the scars, Green Leaf readily agreed.

Ji Chen glanced at the herbs on the table, a dark glint in his eyes. The madam hadn't entirely trusted him; she still added small amounts of muscle-relaxing powder to her food.

While it would prevent him from becoming completely immobile, it was simply impossible for him to escape from so many people.

The only chance is to be auctioned off in a few days and then escape before being killed!

Before that, he needed to get rid of the poison from the muscle-softening powder. Fortunately, it wasn't difficult for him to get rid of it.

There were only two days left until the auction. According to the information that Green Leaf had secretly told him, the main character at the auction banquet was someone personally selected by the current emperor to be auctioned. He didn't know exactly who it was, as he had only overheard the madam talking to someone.

This matter was kept secret; apart from the madam, perhaps only a few high-ranking officials of the imperial court knew about it. Therefore, among the people who came that day, there must have been some officials as well.

Green Leaf told Ji Chen all this only because Ji Chen was a decent person. He hoped that Ji Chen would be noticed by an official and auctioned off, so that he wouldn't actually become like him.

Ji Chen had no idea what Green Leaf was thinking. He only understood that many people would be coming that day, which would be a good opportunity for him to escape.

While Ji Chen was plotting his escape, a discreet carriage arrived at the city gate of the capital. It had already entered the city and was slowly driving to a residence.

The people in the courtyard rushed out to kneel and greet the carriage, bowing their heads deeply and not daring to look up at it.

"Master, we've arrived." The guard gently reminded the person inside the carriage after parking it.

Immediately, a man dressed in black stepped out of the carriage, wearing a terrifying demon mask. He didn't even glance at the crowd in front of the carriage before walking into the courtyard.
