Chapter 1: He

Qiao Suisui felt as if a heavy weight were pressing down on her eyelids; she struggled to pry them open just a sliver.

In her blurred vision, there were two figures.

One person held a syringe, the needle tip spraying an extremely fine jet of water, and the scent of medication permeated the room.

The sharp sting in her arm brought her to instant clarity.

Where is this?

She remembered clearly that she had been beta-testing an interstellar beast-world themed game; the moment her mouse clicked into the server area, everything had gone black.

Voices drifted into her ears, speaking a language she couldn't understand—

"The goods in this auction are truly valuable; I heard she just reached adulthood. Damn, the scent is incredible too. I'm almost losing it just from one whiff."

"Look at that face and figure, skin so white and tender, it turns red with just a pinch."

"Hey, are you crazy? This is the finale item, about to be showcased! If you dare leave a mark on her and the boss finds out, you're finished!"

Qiao Suisui peeked secretly and saw a man kneeling on the floor, licking her fingers with a greedy expression. They seemed to have reached some sort of agreement, and the other person began to kiss her toes.

Her hair stood on end; without time to think, she lifted her foot and kicked the man in the face.

A scream rang out, and Qiao Suisui bolted toward the door.

This was an underground illegal auction site with two levels. Qiao Suisui had been locked in the second basement level, while the first basement level was the auction stage, currently packed to capacity. On stage, the masked host was introducing the item with great passion—

"The next item is the finale of this auction!"

"SSS-grade appearance, SSS-grade intelligence; although she lacks mental power, she is a viviparous female capable of reproduction!"

At these words, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.

Due to interstellar pollution, many beastmen had lost their reproductive capabilities, and females were on the verge of extinction. Procreation had become the greatest problem in the galaxy, relying solely on gene-hatching for offspring. To soothe the instability in beastmen's genes, the Interstellar Federation produced a large number of 'artificial females.' Even though these artificial females could not conceive and some even lacked intelligence, they were still highly sought after by male beastmen.

Therefore, viviparous females were the primary protected objects of the entire galaxy, not to mention that precious reproductive capability.

"A viviparous female? How many years has it been since a viviparous female appeared!"

"Even in the entire Federation, she must be the only viviparous female capable of conceiving, right?"

Many people were already rubbing their hands, preparing to bid.

Above the bustling audience, on the second floor, in a high-end private box, sat a man wearing a lion king mask.

A powerful sense of oppression radiated from him; in his crisp military uniform, legs crossed, his presence was impossible to ignore even while sitting.

The officer standing to the side, Angsi, leaned over and whispered in the man's ear: "Colonel, the news is indeed true. Shall we move?"

He hadn't expected that someone would actually dare to make money off anything! Angsi gritted his teeth in hatred.

He followed the Colonel and had military merits to his name, yet even now, his application for a female spouse was queued ten years out. And these people could buy a viviparous female just by spending some filthy money?

"Ensure we catch them in the act."

Receiving the man's instruction, Angsi nodded solemnly and left the box.

At the other end of the sofa sat an artificial female. The woman leaned in, rubbing her red high-heeled shoe against the man's sturdy calf.

"Luka, if it weren't for me giving you the information, how could you have found the lair of this illegal trafficking organization so smoothly? Why don't you consider my proposal? I don't mind sharing you with the Princess."

According to regulations, an adult female could have multiple spouses, but a male could only have one female.

Although Luka had been pre-selected by the Princess, the woman couldn't help but feel tempted looking at his pectoral muscles; she didn't mind developing an underground relationship with him. After all, sitting before her was the heir to the Sikesaisi Family, known as the 'Empire's Sword,' and also a Colonel in the Military Department—Luka Xikesaisi.

"I've heard from many people in the Royal Court that you aren't very good in that department?"

Seeing that he had no reaction to her provocation, the woman was not discouraged and pressed her proud bosom two inches closer to the man. Any other male would have pounced on her by now, yet Luka remained seated upright.

"I have much more passion than the Princess; anyway, she is an artificial female just like me. Instead of choosing her, why not choose me?"

The man finally had a reaction at this point. He turned his head slowly, and from behind the lion king mask, a pair of cold eyes glared at her. The next second, the woman's brows furrowed, and she began to break out in a sweat, her entire face visibly turning pale.

Is this the pressure of a top-tier male?

The man coldly looked away, the pressure lifted, and his voice remained without any fluctuation.

"I don't like being addressed by my first name. Furthermore, since you've heard the rumors, you should know I have no feelings for any female, so don't waste your effort."

"So you really are no good in that department? What's so great about an impotent male? No matter how handsome, it's useless, pfft!"

"You should be grateful you are a female." Otherwise, you would never see tomorrow's sun again.

Before Luka finished, he left the furious woman behind and walked straight out of the box.

He stood on the second floor, leaning against the railing, looking down.

His men were already in position around the stage, waiting for the auctioned female to appear so they could sweep the place.

The man removed his lion king mask, revealing a face with sharp, three-dimensional features, a high nose, and thin lips, but there was no expression on that striking face—numb and cold, as if he were interested in nothing.

He lowered his head to bite onto a cigarette; the moment the nicotine burned, his originally indifferent light-colored pupils suddenly constricted.

This scent...

Clean, with a soapy quality and a hint of astringency, a fragrance like lily of the valley wafted from the direction of the stage.

The ash burned Luka's hand; he snapped back to reality, looked down at himself, and discovered he was already having a physical reaction.

At the same time, following the host's loud announcement on stage, the giant red curtain was slowly pulled open.

Coming into view was a massive golden birdcage.

Inside the cage, a young girl lay on her side on a white velvet blanket, her dark hair scattered everywhere. She was curled into a ball; even though her face was hidden, the curves of her body and her skin, like mutton-fat jade, were already alluring enough.

The girl wore only a champagne-colored silk spaghetti-strap dress that barely covered the tops of her thighs; her entire body was snow-white, her skin flushed pink due to the medication, making everyone present feel dizzy and even lose their souls.

On the second floor, Luka stared at the girl on stage, frowning.

The audience was in a constant state of agitation; many males were already boiling with blood, and some didn't even wait for the host, shouting their bids directly.

"Ten million."

"Thirty million."

"I bid fifty million."

"One hundred million! I want to take this little female home right now!"

The price climbed continuously; one must know the transaction price of the previous artificial female was only one million.

Qiao Suisui had been caught and dragged back shortly after running out; she had been injected with an aphrodisiac and was currently dizzy, but a prompt in her mind brought her to a brief moment of clarity—

【Host detected in danger, passive skill activated.】

She propped up her body, not realizing where the voice came from, as the fragrance on her body began to grow intense, drifting to the entire first floor.

Suddenly, no one cared about the bidding anymore; pair after pair of eyes stared straight at the stage.

The aura of the girl in the cage drove all the males into madness; some males even uncontrollably entered their rutting period, rushing onto the stage with red eyes.

Qiao Suisui saw the chaos below—beating, killing, suppression. Just as she wanted to escape, a burly man suddenly rushed onto the stage, staring at her greedily with lecherous eyes.

She shrank back desperately, but the person grabbed her ankle through the cage.
