One could only say that the body’s original owner was physically too weak.

She couldn’t utilize even half of her own skills and strength; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been in such a sorry state.

All her attacks relied on tactics and taking advantage of opportunities.

Otherwise, she would have died long ago!

Of course, if they were not experts, naturally they wouldn’t see her opportunism.

Gu Xiaoxi was so exhausted that she lay on the ground gasping for breath.

At that moment, Quan Shaoqing saw everything Gu Xiaoxi did through the video surveillance.

Although she wasn’t physically strong, her reactions and judgment were good. The force of her hits always targeted the wolves’ vital spots.

Her strength was a little more formidable than he had imagined.

"Young Master, are you sure she isn’t a spy sent by our rivals?" Jin Xiao asked with suspicion. With those moves capable of killing seven wolves, she was already stronger than most of the Quan Clan’s subordinates.

Quan Shaoqing shook his head while looking at the monitor on his computer, "Hard to say! At least, she doesn’t seem like it right now."

"Have you found out her identity?"

Jin Xiao bowed his head and said, "Not yet, the black market only mentioned that she was sold here, and at that time the seller only wanted ten thousand yuan. That’s why the starting price at the auction was one million yuan."

"Then search faster!" Quan Shaoqing said impassively. Only by clarifying this woman’s background could he feel reassured.

After resting for a while, Gu Xiaoxi moved on to the second cage.

Four tigers eyed her with predatory interest.

But she just flexed her fingers, moved her neck, and clenched her fists again, not hesitating to rush toward them.

First dodging the attack of one lion, she punched another lion. Then dodging again, she struck at the other lions.

With agile speed, she repeatedly targeted the animals’ vital points using their weaknesses to her advantage.

Compared to dealing with seven wolves, the four lions seemed a bit easier.

After all, there were fewer of them, allowing her to cleverly predict each lion’s attack, dodge their claws, and counterattack opportunistically.

Even though the lions were more robust and powerful than the pack of wolves, they were still no match for Gu Xiaoxi’s reaction speed.

Some people are born warriors.

Extremely sensitive to danger, and Gu Xiaoxi was one such person.

Ten minutes later, Gu Xiaoxi knocked out the last lion with a punch and then collapsed onto the ground, breathing heavily.

She was done in, feeling like all her meridians were shattered and her whole arm was about to become useless.

She was certain that the body’s original owner had never exercised before.

Having watched Gu Xiaoxi’s "performance," Quan Shaoqing closed his computer. "Take her back to her room, clean her up before bringing her out again!"

"Yes!"

After experiencing so much in the evening, Gu Xiaoxi felt completely drained.

During her bath, if it weren’t for someone knocking at the door, she would have fallen asleep.

Gu Xiaoxi washed off the messy makeup from her face, cleaned her hair, and then blow-dried it.

She put on clothes that had been prepared in the room and followed Jin Xiao out of the cabin with long strides.

By that time, the ship had already sailed into the middle of the sea.

When Gu Xiaoxi stepped out, the two other sultry beauties who were bought along with her had also changed into beautiful clothes.

These clothes were obviously much classier than what they had worn before.

Shades of water blue, mellow yellow, and light pink, looked ethereal to any spectator.

Especially Gu Xiaoxi, having washed the makeup from her face.

Her delicate features, slightly juvenile but with sparkling big eyes, as if they hid gems inside, were both beautiful and brimming with Spiritual Energy.

Standing there, she drew the gaze deeply, even without a curvaceous figure; it was enough to captivate one’s attention.

The water blue dress made her look like a night elf, ethereal and pure, pleasing to the eye.

After seeing her, Quan Shaoqing was caught off guard for a moment.

Jin Xiao also saw such a unique temperament for the first time.

Somehow, Gu Xiaoxi seemed completely different from the women they had seen before.

It wasn’t just her beauty; it was her aura.

When she was quiet, she projected a refined grace.

Gu Xiaoxi lightly flicked her hair and caught Young Master Quan zoned out, squeezing her eyes at him, "Oppa, do I look pretty?"

"Pfft!"

The crowd, who had just been thinking of her refined grace, felt stunned.

Once Gu Xiaoxi started moving, she was nothing but a mischievous Demon, full of life and liveliness.

Even with her bold and unrestrained behavior, nobody could truly get angry at her.

Quan Shaoqing stared at her with an expressionless face, clearly wanting to teach her a good lesson for her mischievous behavior.

"My name is Gu Xiaoxi, boss, you haven’t told me yet. What’s your name? What’s our gang called? From now on, we’re all family, so please don’t talk about making me kneel or anything like that. Otherwise, it would be too alienating," Gu Xiaoxi said, smiling as she walked up to Quan Shaoqing.

To be honest, Quan Shaoqing really did want to tell her to kneel just now.

But once Gu Xiaoxi had said that, the words stopped at the tip of his tongue.

He pointed to the spot next to him, and Gu Xiaoxi immediately took a seat.

Quan Shaoqing reached out to touch her smooth hair, stood up, and patted her head a few times, "As long as you obey, I won’t treat you unfairly."

"I promise to be obedient," Gu Xiaoxi swore, raising three fingers. Clearly, she was wise enough to recognize Quan Shaoqing as the boss.

As for what she really thought, only she knew.

Just then, the boat came to a stop.

Jin Xiao and Quan Shaoqing’s expressions immediately turned serious.

At the same time, another boat docked beside theirs.

Jin Xiao spoke up with a stern tone, "Young Master, Louis has arrived."

"Let them come up for a talk," Quan Shaoqing gestured to everyone, and all the people stepped back.

Gu Xiaoxi picked up an apple from the table and munched on it while looking around.

Quan Shaoqing’s subordinates moved quickly, all taking up positions at the windows on the second floor.

Seeing their readiness, it was clear a battle was imminent!

She was even more convinced that Quan Shaoqing and his men were not good people.

She considered making her escape while they were busy fighting.

Quan Shaoqing sat there holding his phone, his expression as cold as ever.

Gu Xiaoxi continued to eat and watch the doorway.

Soon, Jin Xiao led ten people into the cabin.

The lead man, with a head full of greasy hair and decked out in a suit, had a beer belly that nearly burst through his shirt. Behind him, nine men carried cases, following submissively.

"Hahaha! Young Master Quan, long time no see. Brother here has missed you," Louis approached with his chubby hands outstretched.

Quan Shaoqing looked at him, his smile faintly cold. He didn’t raise his hand to shake his but instead said coolly, "I don’t want to waste time, let’s start the transaction! Jin Xiao, take Mr. Louis to the next room to check the merchandise."

"Young Master Quan sure is straightforward. Alright then, bring up the money, and you can count it," the fat man said, waving his hand, and immediately two of his subordinates went into the inner room.

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes spun around curiously, guessing what kind of deal they were making.

"Mr. Louis is a straightforward person as well. We’ve been cooperating for two years now.

Today, as I was passing through the black market, I spotted two beauties.

Thinking that Mr. Louis’s birthday is coming up, consider it a gift from me to Mr. Louis.

I hope our cooperation continues to be pleasant," Quan Shaoqing said in an indifferent tone, gesturing towards the other two women.

The two women took a step back in terror, their faces ashen.

Anyone involved in the underworld knew what kind of man Louis was. Lustful and violently inhumane.

Giving them to Louis was like sending them to their deaths, wasn’t it?

"Young Master Quan! We..." the two women hadn’t finished speaking.

Louis had already eagerly agreed, "Young Master Quan really understands me. I’ll accept this gift then."

As he said this, his gaze set firmly on Gu Xiaoxi, his look unabashedly lascivious. "I wonder, is this young lady related to Young Master Quan?"

Gu Xiaoxi’s face darkened and the half-eaten apple almost fell to the ground. Something about his words felt off.

"Picked up casually!" Quan Shaoqing said indifferently.

Louis, with his mouth agape, drooled over Gu Xiaoxi’s delicate skin, almost salivating. "I love this kind of petite and delicate oriental girl the most. Would you let me have her, Young Master Quan? In return, I’m willing to give you a two percent cut in future deals."

"Hiss..." Gu Xiaoxi could clearly hear someone gasping around her.

Two percent cut, how much money would that be?

She also saw that Jin Xiao was actually tempted.

And what about Quan Shaoqing?

He was sizing her up, his expression fluctuating, clearly considering it.

Frightened, Gu Xiaoxi quickly put down the apple, grabbed Quan Shaoqing’s hand while putting on an appealing look, "Darling! I’m so cute, so sweet, so pretty, do you really have the heart to give me away?"

As she finished speaking, she coyly batted her lovely big eyes.

Quan Shaoqing remained silent, but his gaze grew deeper.

Seeing that Quan Shaoqing wasn’t speaking, and with Gu Xiaoxi pleading, Louis grew impatient. "No more talk, five percent!"

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

There were sounds of people being genuinely tempted.

Damn it! Gu Xiaoxi cursed Louis in her mind: impotent, prematurely senile, may he come to a bad end.

He could make harsh remarks, tempting Quan Shaoqing to compromise.

She could also play hardball, making Quan Shaoqing give up the idea of giving her away. And so...
