To be rated as an SS-level genius is no simple feat. In the Immortal Palace, it was rare for a female prodigy to be rated as an SS-level genius. An SS-level genius was, in fact, someone with a high probability of cultivating to the Golden Core Realm.

It's important to understand that SS-level geniuses are fully qualified to enter major cultivation Sects, like Kunlun and Shushan. Their disciples are all SS-level geniuses, though there are, of course, the higher SSS-level geniuses. However, an SSS-level rating is only determined after an SS-level genius undergoes a period of cultivation and several years of observation. This prodigy, Yan Feifei, even had a small chance of being an SSS-level genius, which meant she might one day cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, the probability of that was extremely low—almost negligible. After all, in all of China's thousands of years of history, only a handful of Cultivators have ever reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

If Yan Feifei hadn't been terribly burned as a child, leaving her with a terrifying appearance, she might have already become a disciple of a major Sect. But now, the major Sects wouldn't give her the time of day. Her only option was to enter an Ancient Martial Family or a smaller Sect to cultivate.

She was still perfectly capable of being a masked bodyguard. With proper nurturing, it was entirely possible for her to reach the Liquid State. Anyone who cultivates to the Liquid State is considered a powerful expert. While they might not be able to guard an entire territory, they could at least deter most criminals.

Yan Feifei stood quietly on the stage. Her facial injuries prevented her from making any expressions, but her body trembled slightly. She was clearly excited, anticipating the dawn of a new life.

Most people looked on with disgust. Yan Feifei was so hideously ugly that looking at her for too long would surely cause nightmares.

Nevertheless, there were still many bidders.

"6 million..."

"7 million..."

"10 million..."

"..."

"30 million."

The price quickly reached thirty million. After that, the bidding slowed. Spending so much money on an extremely ugly bodyguard who still required nurturing hardly seemed worth it.

At that moment, Zhang Bin made his move, shouting, "50 million!"

He then shot Lv Jianben a provocative glance. He was actually quite nervous. If Lv Jianben saw through his intentions—saw that his series of ploys was all for the sake of buying Yan Feifei—then Lv Jianben would undoubtedly start bidding wildly, possibly driving the price into the billions. As wealthy as Zhang Bin was, he couldn't afford that.

Lv Jianben shot Zhang Bin a disdainful look and turned his head away. Idiot. Still trying to trick me? As if I'd fall for that again.

Meanwhile, no one else raised their bids.

And so, Zhang Bin won Yan Feifei for 50 million.

He was so delighted he felt like shouting, his heart overflowing with joy.

Lv Jianben, however, still hadn't realized what had happened. A smug look appeared on his face as he muttered, "Idiot. You tried to set a trap for me but ended up trapping yourself, didn't you?"

Zhang Bin paid Lv Jianben no further mind and immediately completed the payment.

Yan Feifei leaped gracefully from the stage and landed before Zhang Bin. She bowed deeply and said, "Greetings, Master."

"There's no need to call me Master. Call me Senior Brother," Zhang Bin said gently, his gaze compassionate as he looked at the terribly scarred prodigy.

Her voice grew gentle, clearly pleased. "Yes, Senior Brother."

She had often fantasized about what her master would be like—perhaps an old Daoist, a geriatric man, or even a lecherous, middle-aged one. But she had never imagined that the person who bought her would be a youth. And not just any youth—he was the world-renowned King of Gamblers, the Chairman of Wenwu Entertainment Co., Ltd., and China's most famous prodigy. Moreover, he didn't seem repulsed by her, unlike everyone else. For this reason, she was thoroughly satisfied with her new master.

"Let's go."

Zhang Bin took Wu Qianqian's hand with his left and Yan Feifei's with his right, then walked out, beaming with joy.

Naturally, the three stooges followed behind Zhang Bin, their faces a mask of bewilderment.

The auction for prodigies had just concluded, so there was a three-hour break before the auction for beauties and Fairies began. Zhang Bin took everyone to a luxurious suite in the Immortal Palace.

Yes, the suites here were for guests to rest in, at no additional cost. The Immortal Palace "day trip" wasn't limited to a single day; it sometimes extended to two or even three. After all activities concluded, guests could stay for up to a month, eating and drinking for free. Only when the next auction was about to begin would they be asked to leave.

"You guys go have some fun. We'll all meet up later for the beauty auction."

After shooting the three stooges a suggestive look, Zhang Bin led Yan Feifei and Wu Qianqian into the room.

"Oh my god, is Senior Brother actually planning a threesome? A beauty and a prodigy... Can he even do that?"

"So, Senior Brother is into that sort of thing... He likes beauties and ugly girls too."

"This is Brother Bin's noble spirit: 'If I don't descend into Hell, who will?' The two of you just wouldn't get it."

The three stooges exchanged even more bewildered glances, spouting absolute nonsense.

After a moment, they snapped out of it. Ma Rufei was the first to speak, his voice filled with excitement. "Let's go find some matches! We need to pick out a few beauties before all the good ones are taken."

"Yeah, yeah! If Senior Brother gets a threesome, we should too! I'm going to bring at least two girls back with me!" Chen Chaoyue chimed in with a wicked grin.

"But will Brother Bin get mad that we didn't invite him?" Zhang Haijun wondered.

"Idiot! Senior Brother has tons of Fairy-Level girlfriends. Why would he need to go looking for a match?" Ma Rufei retorted, slapping Zhang Haijun on the back of the head.

Then, like three ravenous beasts in heat, they dashed out, making a beeline for the matchmaking hall.

Wu Qianqian and Yan Feifei followed Zhang Bin into the room, both looking shy and nervous. This feeling wasn't as intense for Yan Feifei, who believed no man would be interested in her due to her appearance.

Wu Qianqian, however, was a rare beauty. Since the age of thirteen, countless men had lusted after her, wanting nothing more than to devour her. So, when Zhang Bin led her into the room, she couldn't help but think, Is Brother Bin going to devour me right now?

The word "now" was well chosen.

In her mind, her beauty was the real reason Zhang Bin had chosen her. Although he claimed he wanted to groom her as a star, she was sure he would inevitably invoke the "unwritten rules" with her. She was prepared for this.

But wasn't this happening a little too fast?

The thought made her breathing quicken, and her lovely face flushed a brilliant crimson, as vibrant as a rainbow in the sky, making her look irresistibly alluring. At that moment, she seemed to exude a unique aura, one that could enthrall any man.

Even Zhang Bin seemed captivated by her beauty, and he couldn't stop himself from wrapping his arms around Wu Qianqian's tiny waist.

Wu Qianqian let out a soft cry and collapsed into Zhang Bin's arms...
