After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a

Chapter 218 System Upgrade

The door closed, and two people came out from behind the bed: Qi Jinlan and Ye Yaoyao, who was dressed in men's clothing.

Ye Xiyao ran out and ran into the two of them.

The three sat at the table and discussed in hushed tones.

"Sister, why won't you come with us?"

“There are many girls suffering here, and I want to save them.”

They won't sell me until tomorrow night. There will definitely be many high-ranking officials and dignitaries coming. We'll work together from the inside and outside to wipe them all out and destroy this filthy place.

Moving now would only alert the enemy and wouldn't save anyone else.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister. Second brother and Lian Jin will also sneak in. Father will wait outside for news."

Qi Jinlan's eyes were glued to her the moment she entered. Xiyao was indeed different from other women; she was intelligent and brave.

"Little sister, have you found out who's behind this?"

"Not yet, maybe my second brother and the others can find out."

"Xiyao, how were you taken away?" Qi Jinlan didn't understand why she walked out the back door.

Ye Xiyao gave him a resentful look, "Someone is impersonating you and getting into a physical altercation with a girl."

"Xiyao, I have no interest in other girls and I won't get involved with them."

Qi Jinlan hurriedly explained, and Ye Yaoyao, seeing her cousin's survival instinct, covered her mouth and chuckled.

"I know."

As she spoke, Ye Xiyao's stomach growled, and she blushed as she clutched her stomach.

"The food here has been spiked; I haven't eaten anything since yesterday."

"It's my fault." Qi Jinlan took out the food she had brought in from her bosom.

"Eat quickly!"

"Cousin, you've really thought of everything."

Roasted chicken, steamed buns, pastries, etc. are wrapped in oil paper.

Ye Xiyao was deeply moved. She picked up the pastry and took small bites. Hmm, it was still warm. Not bad.

"I was worried you weren't having a good time here, so I brought some in. Eat slowly."

Ye Yaoyao opened the teapot, put a pill in, and then poured water for her to drink.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, with plenty of food left over, we carefully wrapped up the rest.

"Little sister, do you have any medicine for your wounds?"

"Xiyao, where are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. I was locked in the woodshed last night, and a girl was beaten very badly."

Cousin, please take this food and medicine to that girl later! She helped me before.

"Okay." Qi Jinlan is skilled in martial arts and can move freely without any problem.

Ye Yaoyao stayed here with her sister, while the two fake nuns went back to rest.

Qi Jinlan remained hidden in the shadows to protect her.

Ye Xiumu waited for Ye Jingyang to return the next day.

"Why are only the two of you back?"

"Father, Cousin Qi has found Xiyao. They are safe now. The methods used inside were too despicable, even worse than those used in brothels."

They listened to the girls recount their tragic experiences, how they were subjected to abuse, how old wounds were compounded with new ones, how some were driven insane by torture, and how some were tortured to death. Those nuns and those behind the scenes truly deserved to die.

The two recounted what they had seen and heard.

"How could such a heinous and outrageous thing happen!"

Ye Xiumu clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. The thought of his two daughters being in that kind of place, even if nothing happened, filled him with an overwhelming surge of anger.

Beneath the surface of a peaceful and prosperous era, how much unspeakable filth is hidden?

The food delivered today was more plentiful than yesterday's, and there were two people watching over it.

One of them was a nun in her forties, still quite attractive. Judging from the doorman's respectful attitude, she must be the person in charge here.

"Since you're here, it's best to be sensible and avoid suffering."

The woman was brought here, but instead of making a scene, she was very quiet. The host couldn't possibly think that she wouldn't resist.

Ye Xiyao slumped weakly on the table, looking shrewd and calculating.

“You drugged me and sent people to guard me, so I can’t get out. Now I’m cooperating a bit more, hoping to suffer less.”

The system broadcast information to Ye Yaoyao.

[The nunnery was originally a nunnery, but fifteen years ago the real abbess was killed by this woman in front of me, and it was renamed Fairy Nunnery.]

This woman had been a prostitute in her youth, but she saved up money to redeem herself and marry a poor scholar.

The poor scholar stole her jewelry, sold her, and returned to his old ways, colluding with officials to do these things as he grew older.

There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.

The host scrutinized Ye Xiyao for a long time and realized that she was a smart one. He decided to list her tonight, figuring she wouldn't cause much trouble, which would save him a lot of trouble.

"Okay, as long as you behave well, I won't treat you badly."

Ye Xiyao picked up her chopsticks and ate her food under their watchful eyes.

Then, two fat nuns carried me to the pool, stripped me naked, and forced me in for a bath.

For the sake of the greater good, Ye Xiyao endured the humiliation and was fondled and groped by them.

She was pulled out of the water, dressed only in a thin veil, and two young nuns applied makeup to her.

Ye Yaoyao drugged the people inside, knocking them unconscious, and then entered with Qi Jinlan.

Ye Xiyao, draped in a thin veil, was incredibly alluring. Qi Jinlan's expression turned ugly at the thought of many lewd eyes staring at her in a moment, and she wanted to take her away right now.

"In addition to the 'softening powder,' they also added aphrodisiac."

Ye Yaoyao took Ye Xiyao's pulse, gave her the antidote, and she slowly woke up.

"Sister, I've cured you of the poison. Now, just keep up the good act."

"I want to take Xiyao with me," Qi Jinlan said, revealing his thoughts.

Looking at Ye Xiyao's attire, Ye Yaoyao realized that it was indeed inappropriate for her sister to dress like that; it would ruin her reputation if word got out.

"How about we try a different approach?"

There was too much time to make a human skin mask, otherwise Ye Xiyao wouldn't have been sent as bait.

“No, they said many distinguished guests have arrived, and not showing up would alert them.”

Ye Xiyao refused.

System upgrade successful.

A mechanical sound suddenly echoed in Ye Yaoyao's mind.

[System, you've been working on something big behind the scenes! What good rewards are there for a successful upgrade?]

[Hehe, I've opened a small online store.] The system's cute boy laughter rang out.

The system didn't tell Ye Yaoyao that after Ye Mian's family was executed, they received a lot of merit points, which would have allowed them to level up. However, the system suppressed the merit points and accumulated them.

Ye Xiyao is in trouble, but the merit behind her is obviously much greater, so the system reluctantly uses the merit points for upgrades.

Ye Yaoyao couldn't wait to look. Inside were three rows of lit patterns: Puppet Pill, Life-Saving Pill, and Prank Pill.

[Host, use the Puppet Pill to make someone eat it, and then have them drink your sister's blood. That person will then be able to transform into your sister's appearance.]

That's practically a disguise technique! The Puppet Pill came just in time.

Ye Xiyao: There's such a good thing.

[It's only valid for one hour, but it's enough to fool people temporarily.]

【Very good, excellent, give it to me immediately.】

Ye Yaoyao secretly rejoiced; the system was truly a timely help.

"I suddenly remembered that there is another kind of drug that can make them hallucinate and see other people as their older sister."

"Really? Yaoyao, take it out quickly."

"Okay, but I also need a drop of your blood, sister."

Ye Yaoyao took the blood, and Ye Xiyao could escape unscathed.

"Let's hurry, they need to wake up soon."
