Rebate System in Cultivation World-Chapter 27: Nangong Qingya

Ri Guang heard that and shook his head with a smile, saying softly, "Lan Yue, I feel like you’re more and more like the one running the household now."

Lan Yue heard that, her face flushing red, yet inside she was so happy it felt like a flower about to bloom.

"My husband, do you feel like I manage too much and make you uncomfortable?"

Ri Guang shook his head, his hand holding hers, his other hand gently patting the back of her hand.

This gesture wasn’t overly intimate, yet it gave Lan Yue a sense of reassurance she had never felt before.

One action in place of ten thousand words, Lan Yue’s eyes reddened, her face blooming with a blissful smile: "My husband... Lan Yue will stay by your side forever."

"Mm, if you’re not by my side, tonight I’ll make it so you can’t even walk."

Hearing Ri Guang’s words, Lan Yue’s face turned even redder. Her soft fist, without the slightest strength, lightly punched his chest, accompanied by a voice so gentle it made him feel like he was sinking into warm water.

"My hu... husband, you really are a bad man."

"Hahahaha...."

...

Outside, BanLee frowned and said, "Sect Master RiuTien, don’t you find it strange? A Cultivator that strong coming here to choose a Cultivation Partner, no matter how you look at it, it’s really weird."

RiuTien lightly patted BanLee’s back and frowned as he said, "To them, we’re just ants. Ants don’t have the right to give opinions, understand? Even if it’s strange, so what? What can you do about it?"

BanLee sighed after hearing that. "This world is truly cruel."

"That’s right." RiuTien said softly. "Alright, I also feel they don’t have bad intentions. If they were bad people, they would’ve long since killed everyone, then taken all the beautiful girls away. They wouldn’t need to come to us to have us work for them."

BanLee nodded lightly. "You’re right, then... what should we do?"

"What do you think?" RiuTien sighed. "Just do what they said, find all the truly beautiful girls and bring them to them. Maybe... this is Yanlin Town’s fortuitous opportunity."

"Yanlin Town’s fortuitous opportunity?" BanLee felt confused when he heard that.

RiuTien nodded. "Just think about it. If that sir really chooses someone from our town as his Cultivation Partner, that means this town’s status will immediately rise."

Hearing that, BanLee immediately understood what RiuTien meant.

"I understand."

"Good that you understand!" RiuTien waved his hand. "We need to hurry. They won’t have the patience to wait for us too long."

.... 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

At an ancient building steeped in old Asian style.

Inside the study, a woman in a white dress sat with a graceful figure and curves so alluring it was unbelievable.

Skin as white as snow without a single blemish, black hair pinned up high with a silver hairpin, eyes sparkling like a lake, lips red like peach blossoms in spring.

At this moment, she sat on a cushion, eyes looking at the pile of scrolls stacked like a mountain before her, and let out a sigh.

"So... is this family really nearing its end?" she murmured, her gaze drifting outside through the window, carrying a hint of gloom.

"Nam Cung Thanh Nhã..." At this moment, the door abruptly opened without any knock beforehand.

Qingya frowned, eyes shifting toward the door, and she immediately saw an old man with hair already pure white, skin wrinkled like cloth folded into many layers.

But right now, that old man wore an excited smile as he walked into the room. "Hahahaha... Qingya, stop struggling in vain. Just listen to me. We don’t need to struggle and we can still find a way to save this family."

Nangong Qingya frowned, her gaze turning cold. "Second Elder, what are you talking about?"

"Hahahaha... today, Young Master Chen Cai has arrived. He’s waiting for you in the reception hall." The Second Elder laughed.

"Chen Cai?" Qingya frowned. "Second Elder, tell him I’m very busy. I don’t have time to meet him."

Hearing that, the Second Elder’s expression shifted from joy to anger, killing intent bursting out like a sharp blade. "Qingya, this isn’t up to you. The entire family has already agreed on the marriage between you and Young Master Chen Cai."

"After you two marry, Chen Cai’s family will help us secure an Inner Disciple slot in the Black Tiger Sect. At that time, you enjoy your comfort, and the family will rise again thanks to you."

"Black Tiger Sect?" Qingya frowned. "Second Elder, who are you planning to give that Inner Disciple slot to?"

"Of course, your younger brother, Nangong Lang."

Qingya felt sick to her stomach, her hand gripping the scroll until her knuckles went white. "Nangong Lang? He has no talent for Cultivation, what’s the point of giving him that slot?"

"Qingya, watch your words." The Second Elder frowned, displeased. "That’s your younger brother. You dare talk about your younger brother like that? Besides, it’s not that he has no talent for Cultivation, it’s just that his potential hasn’t been unlocked yet."

"Potential?" Qingya sneered. "His potential is going to the brothel to play with girls and drinking with his friends, huh?"

"Qingya!"

BAM!

The Second Elder shouted, his aura of Body Refinement Stage 1 surging. To ordinary people, even a Cultivator at merely Body Refinement Stage 1 was a terrifying existence they could never contend with.

Qingya was also an ordinary person. Facing the Second Elder’s aura, of course she couldn’t withstand it, her face gradually turning deathly pale.

"Huh!" The Second Elder snorted in disdain. "I don’t want to waste words with you anymore. If you don’t hurry up and go meet Young Master Chen Cai, then don’t blame me for breaking both your legs, then tossing you into a brothel."

After saying that, the Second Elder immediately left.

Qingya sat there, tears silently rolling down her cheeks because she knew full well... her fate had been decided the moment she was born.

Was Chen Cai any different from Nangong Lang? They were the same, both useless trash who only knew how to indulge and chase women, not caring about the family at all, and possessing no talent whatsoever.

It was just that... Chen Cai’s family had someone who was an elder in the Black Tiger Sect, that was all.

Qingya let out a sigh, her gaze drifting far away, feeling like a bird trapped in a cage, unable to be free.

But she knew... this world was ultimately the world of Cultivators. An ordinary woman like her had no right to decide her own fate.

Moreover, possessing a beauty like an angel only made her even more dangerous.

Qingya shook her head and wiped away her tears. She pulled open a drawer, took out a knife from inside, and a trace of resolve appeared in her eyes.

She murmured, "If... if there’s no way out of this cage, then..."

...

In the reception hall, Nangong Lang and Chen Cai really were the same kind of people, drinking wine and chatting happily.

Around them, the four elders could only sit there and sigh. Even though they were extremely unwilling, they had no other choice.

Chen Cai had the ability to save their family, and although Nangong Lang was useless, he was still the only son of the family.

Besides that, Chen Cai and Nangong Lang seemed somewhat close, which made them trust the decision they had made even more.

Of course, the only one truly happy was the Second Elder, because Nangong Lang was his grandson.

At this moment, a figure appeared, making both Nangong Lang and Chen Cai startle.

In her white dress, she looked like a fairy descended to the mortal world, yet her face was nothing but frost, so cold it seemed even the temperature around her had dropped.

When Chen Cai saw Nangong Qingya, his eyes widened. In his gaze was nothing but greed and lust.

Nangong Lang saw Chen Cai’s expression and immediately laughed. "Chen Cai, that’s my older sister, Nangong Qingya. Beautiful, isn’t she?"

"Hehehehe..." Chen Cai laughed. "Beautiful... very beautiful..."

His eyes gradually grew hazy, his face flushed from drinking too much wine.

Qingya walked over. Seeing the four elders sitting in front, she only slightly lowered her head, saying nothing.

The Second Elder frowned and barked, "Qingya, what are you doing? Don’t you see the elders are here? Don’t you see Young Master Chen Cai is here? Has your mouth gone mute?"

Qingya remained silent, her eyes dull as she looked around, with no intention of speaking.

The Second Elder was so furious he panted, lifting his hand to slap Qingya, but Chen Cai spoke up at this moment.

"Wait." Chen Cai laughed. "Miss Qingya is probably a bit shy. Let her calm down a little."

Nangong Lang clenched his teeth and hurriedly said, "Chen Cai, you don’t know her personality so you think that. That bitch always wears a cold face like everyone around her owes her tens of thousands of gold coins."

"She’s just pretending to be aloof. If you can subdue her, ride her in bed, I guarantee it’ll feel amazing."

"Hahahaha..." Chen Cai laughed lewdly, his gaze on Qingya not hiding his desire at all. He stared at those full, milky breasts, then looked down to her slender waist, and finally stopped at her lower body.

"Miss Qingya..." Chen Cai laughed. "I’ve already discussed it with your family’s elders. After we get married, I’ll use my connections to get your younger brother into the Black Tiger Sect."

"You also know that within 1,000 li around here, the Black Tiger Sect is the biggest sect. Sect Master RiuTien is even at Body Refinement Stage 7, about to Breakthrough to Stage 8."

"Follow me, and I guarantee you’ll have nothing to worry about. Every day you can eat and drink happily, admire the scenery."

"That’s right!" Nangong Lang spoke up at this moment. "Sister Qingya, you’re just a woman anyway, why bother managing the family’s affairs? Leave everything to me and the elders. You just need to be a good wife to Young Master Chen Cai, hahahaha..."

Qingya kept her icy expression. Her gaze swept across everyone, then she pulled out a knife from her sleeve, the tip pressed to her own throat.

"If you force me, then... I’ll kill myself. All of you... none of you can force me, turn me into merchandise."
