Chapter 71

Chapter 71

Xiaoxia, who was once a minor idol, naturally heard Yi Tiantian's thoughts.

She turned her head in shock to look around but found no sign of any man.

Compared to the strange reactions of Chen Chen and Fei Tianyang when they heard Yi Tiantian's thoughts, Xiaoxia's response seemed much more normal.

Perhaps the thoughts she had just heard infuriated Xiaoxia, and she vented her anger on Yi Tiantian standing before her.

"You shameless thing! How dare someone like you be favored by Uncle Fei!"

The girl cursed wildly at Yi Tiantian, who was going to have dinner with Uncle Fei tonight.

"Since you can't speak anyway, Uncle Fei won't know if I hit you!"

With that, the girl raised her hand and swung it towards Yi Tiantian.

Some of the other girls stood by, watching as if it were a joke, while others retreated in fear, none coming forward to help.

Just as Yi Tiantian thought she was about to be hit by Xiaoxia, a short-haired girl around seventeen or eighteen suddenly ran over.

The girl bravely stood in front of Yi Tiantian, though she was half a head shorter, she still stretched out her hands to protect her.

"Xiaoxia, stop taking out your jealousy on others!"

The girl's words revealed Xiaoxia's true feelings.

Being seen through felt terrible, and Xiaoxia's face flushed red with rage.

"What nonsense are you spouting?! Don't forget, you're new here too. Should I give you some 'special attention' as well?!"

More girls gathered around, but most were enjoying the spectacle, with no one willing to intervene.

"Don't forget that Fei Tianyang is one of the people who ruined your life! You shouldn't like him at all!"

The short-haired girl showed no fear and continued to confront Xiaoxia loudly.

Fei Tianyang seemed to be Xiaoxia's sore spot, and hearing this made her lose control completely.

Xiaoxia approached the short-haired girl with a grim face, but before she could strike, she heard the strange voice again.

"Xiaoxia used to be a lively and cute little idol, but her childhood was very unhappy."

"Having debuted at a young age, she carried the enormous expectations of her parents and became their tool for making money, living only for them. One day, her parents personally handed her over to a teacher, who under the guise of teaching, sent her to the Girls' Island!"

"After Xiaoxia disappeared, her parents searched anxiously, but with the teacher's unexpected death, the trail went cold."

Xiaoxia held her breath, listening intently to the voice recounting her story.

She had arrived at Girls' Island at the age of eight and lost contact with her parents since then.

Her parents must be desperately searching for her now.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxia's face broke into a happy smile.

Their frantic search proved they still loved her!

But the next part of the voice shattered her hopes.

"Xiaoxia's deranged parents stopped looking for her after the teacher's lead dried up!"

"Instead, they had twins, a boy and a girl, and began training them in the same way they had trained Xiaoxia, turning them into the next Xiaoxia."

"Now those twins have become famous child stars in the entertainment industry, and Xiaoxia has faded from everyone's memory, even her parents have forgotten her existence!"

This sudden truth was too much for Xiaoxia to bear, and a loud buzzing filled her ears.

She screamed in despair, "Stop talking! You're lying! I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."

Xiaoxia repeated "I don't believe it" like a madwoman.

After working so hard to fulfill her parents' wishes, she was ultimately forgotten.

This realization drove Xiaoxia to the brink of madness.

She rushed towards the short-haired girl and pushed her aside.

"Both of you get out!"

As Xiaoxia's hand was about to touch Yi Tiantian's face, she felt a strong repulsion, causing her to stumble back two steps, almost falling.

The surrounding girls gasped, and someone ran to support Xiaoxia.

At that moment, a tall, pure-looking girl with long black hair descended the villa's spiral staircase.

She spoke softly, seemingly with a hint of amusement, asking, "Xiaoxia, what happened?"

Yi Tiantian noticed that upon seeing the long-haired girl, the other girls' faces suddenly showed a hint of reverence, and they made way for her.

"Sakura, Uncle Fei came earlier and asked me to take good care of the new girl."

Xiaoxia's demeanor became respectful and somewhat timid upon seeing the long-haired girl.

"Oh? A new girl?"

The long-haired girl shifted her gaze to Yi Tiantian, who stood opposite Xiaoxia.

"What's your name?"

Yi Tiantian waved her hand, indicating that she couldn't speak.

"Sakura, her name is Yi Yiyi, and she's a mute who can't speak."

Xiaoxia's voice carried a noticeable hint of superiority.

"Yi Yiyi."

The girl with long black hair walked up to Yi Tiantian, her exquisitely carved face coming close to Yi Tiantian's.

Yi Tiantian held her breath, pretending to be nervous, her eyelashes fluttering rapidly.

The girl with long black hair slightly curled her lips, revealing a beautiful smile.

Unlike Xiaoxia, who had reached out to hit someone, she quickly withdrew from Yi Tiantian's side.

Her gaze shifted back to the short-haired girl beside Yi Tiantian, but her face still wore that breathtakingly beautiful smile.

Then, the girl with long black hair let her eyes drift lightly over the short-haired girl and onto the group of girls behind them.

"It seems our new plaything has arrived."

Upon hearing Sakura's words, the faces of the girls behind her revealed expressions of greed and distortion, as if they were beasts seeing their prey.

The short-haired girl rushed back to Yi Tiantian's side, grabbed her hand, and said in a small but firm voice, "Yi Yiyi, let's go!"

Yi Tiantian was pulled by the short-haired girl, and the two ran upstairs.

The short-haired girl led Yi Tiantian into a room on the second floor of the villa, where numerous beds for the girls were placed.

After tightly shutting the door, the short-haired girl climbed under the bed in a mysterious manner.

Yi Tiantian looked down and saw the girl's head poking out, saying, "Yi Yiyi, what are you waiting for? Come down here quickly!"

Yi Tiantian bent down and looked under the bed, only to find a hidden entrance in this corner.

Following the short-haired girl, Yi Tiantian entered the secret passage under the bed and climbed down a ladder.

The short-haired girl nimbly jumped off the ladder and flipped a switch in the pitch-black room.

Instantly, the dark room was illuminated.

After descending, Yi Tiantian looked around and found that the place was much larger than she had imagined, but all she could see was a white bed.

"This feels so familiar."

Yi Tiantian watched as the short-haired girl carefully closed the hatch after turning on the light.

Suddenly, Yi Tiantian remembered why this place felt so familiar!

"This seems to be the room where Liu Ran kidnapped me!"

[This is the "torture chamber" built by Liu Ran's father at Brand University of the Arts!]

As Yi Tiantian realized this, a major revelation popped up in the system.

[It turns out that there wasn't just one demon, the vice president, at Brand University of the Arts! When those "torture chambers" were constructed, there was guidance from an evil organization!]

[The villa on the island was also built under the guidance of this evil organization, which is why it contains similar "torture chambers"!]

After closing the hatch, the short-haired girl excitedly introduced herself to Yi Tiantian, "Yi Yiyi, we've known each other for so long, but I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Xiaoniao, like the bird that flies in the sky."

Yi Tiantian nodded, acknowledging this.

She tried searching the system for any gossip about this girl named Xiaoniao but found nothing.

However, her name seemed to have some connection to Xie Yi's sister, Xie Niao.

And Yi Tiantian even suspected that she might be Xie Niao herself!

Yi Tiantian attempted to search the gossip system for information about the girl named Sakura, but the result was still blank.

"It seems these pieces of gossip are not available yet."

Yi Tiantian had to temporarily abandon this idea.

The girl named Xiaoniao didn't seem to hear Yi Tiantian's thoughts and continued to boast about her secret base.

"Yi Yiyi, as far as I know, no other girls know about this place, so it became my secret base. Whenever I'm sad, I come here to sit... "

Yi Tiantian listened carefully to the girl in front of her but suddenly noticed something amiss.

[If Xiaoniao's secret base is similar to the "torture chamber," then there might be surveillance installed here!]

[When the "torture chambers" were built, those perverts installed cameras to watch the girls' despair and pain!]

Sure enough, amidst Xiaoniao's continuous chatter, a mocking female voice came from a distance, mixed with laughter.

"Hahaha, what do you think we should do to those two girls later?"

"I don't care, as long as we don't leave any serious scars on their bodies, no one will ever find out!"

"Besides, the new one is a mute; she won't tell on us!"

The girls' bell-like laughter outside sounded like it came from hell, and they were approaching step by step.

Xiaoniao clearly heard the voices outside, but she showed no fear.

"Rest assured, they won't know about this place..."

Before Xiaoxia could finish her sentence, the cellar door was opened from the outside.

A sliver of light that did not belong in this room streamed in, and a girl with long hair peeked inside.

Upon seeing Yi Tiantian and Xiaoxia, the girl's face twisted into a ghastly smile.

"Xiaoxia, they are indeed here!"

Xiaoxia's pupils dilated with terror as she kept retreating.

Yi Tiantian knew that they were now like fish in a barrel, with no chance of escaping.

Sure enough, Xiaoxia's voice came from outside the next moment.

She cackled, "Poor little bird, did you think we wouldn't know about this place? I saw it on the surveillance when I spent the night with Uncle Fei!"

Xiaoxia never expected Xiaoxia to know about this place, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "Then let us out! If Fei Tianyang sees you like this, he'll be disappointed!"

Yi Tiantian gave Xiaoxia an appreciative glance.

She couldn't believe that Xiaoxia had the presence of mind to use Fei Tianyang, whom Xiaoxia cared about most, to counter her in such a crisis!

Hearing Xiaoxia's words, Xiaoxia hesitated, and her laughter lost some of its confidence.

"Stop talking nonsense; I haven't done anything yet!"

Both Xiaoxia and Yi Tiantian detected the fear in Xiaoxia's words. Xiaoxia continued, "Tonight, Xiao Yi is having dinner with your Uncle Fei. She can't speak, but she can certainly text!"

Xiaoxia, still immature, was enraged but stomped her foot and turned to leave.

She left behind only one sentence: "Consider yourselves lucky today!"

The other girls, seeing Xiaoxia leave, also followed dejectedly.

Only after the bullies had gone did Xiaoxia breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xiaoxia is the worst bully here! But she's just a lackey of Ying!"

When Xiaoxia mentioned Ying, Yi Tiantian deliberately showed a curious expression.

Xiaoxia noticed Yi Tiantian's reaction and quickly explained, "Ying and I came in around the same time, but after spending a night alone with Fei Tianyang, she became the queen of our villa. When she first arrived, she beat up the former queen, Xiaoxia, leaving her bruised and swollen! So now Xiaoxia listens to her like a dog!"

Yi Tiantian nodded.

It seemed that this girl named Ying held considerable power in the villa, and perhaps even on the island of girls. There must be many secrets waiting for her to uncover.

After staying in the "chamber of punishment" for a while longer, Xiaoxia got up from the bed and said, "We need to leave here because it's almost time for dinner."

Yi Tiantian nodded, and the two climbed up the ladder back into the bedroom.

Xiaoxia led Yi Tiantian to the villa's dining hall.

Only then did Yi Tiantian realize how many girls were housed in this villa.

There were three long tables in the dining hall, each filled with girls.

Roughly estimating, there were over forty girls in the villa alone!

The girls sat obediently at their seats, waiting for the staff to distribute their boxed meals.

Since Yi Tiantian and Xiaoxia arrived last, they had no seats and had to stand aside waiting for their meals.

Xiaoxia sat at the center of another long table, while Ying was nowhere to be seen.

Seeming to notice Yi Tiantian's confusion, Xiaoxia whispered, "Ying usually doesn't eat with us, and she's often not in the villa."

Yi Tiantian nodded slightly.

Her speculation about Ying seemed correct; she likely controlled the island of girls to some extent!

The staff member in a suit placed two boxed meals in Yi Tiantian and Xiaoxia's hands and sternly said, "Shut up and eat!"

All the girls, like machines, opened their boxed meals simultaneously and began eating with their spoons.

At that moment, the walkie-talkie in the staff member's pocket suddenly crackled to life.

The staff member quickly picked it up, walked to the dining hall entrance, and listened intently.

"I understand."

The staff member in the suit approached Yi Tiantian and asked sternly, "Are you the new Yi Yi? Someone has specifically requested your service."

Yi Tiantian understood that this was Xie Yi fulfilling their agreement.

They had agreed to meet at dusk to exchange information, and this seemed to be it.

Yi Tiantian nodded, preparing to put down her boxed meal, but the black-clad man spoke again.

"The guest also allows you to bring anyone else with you."

This peculiar request made sense to Yi Tiantian.

If she could encounter Xie Yi's sister, Xie Niao, here, she could take the opportunity to bring her along.

So Yi Tiantian pointed to Xiaoxia, who was most likely Xie Niao.

The staff member in a suit nodded and said, "You two, eat quickly. Someone will come to pick you up after you finish."

The little bird looked at Yi Tiantian beside her in shock, seemingly unable to understand why she had been dragged into this.

Although the little bird had served several guests since arriving on the island, she still found it extremely repulsive.

Those days of being humiliated were something she would never forget!

But this friend she had just rescued chose to drag her down to hell with him, which was something the little bird could not accept at all!

A seed of resentment had already quietly taken root in her heart.

At that moment, Yi Tiantian was busy eating, completely oblivious to the strange expression on the little bird's face.

But then, Xiaoxia suddenly slammed her lunch box onto the table, causing unfinished food to splatter everywhere, even hitting the other girls around her.

Xiaoxia, as if she hadn't noticed, turned and stormed off angrily.

"Xiaoxia cares most about others' affection for her. Whenever a guest requests another girl, she gets so upset that she acts out like this!"

Yi Tiantian had already seen through Xiaoxia.

She was an immature girl who mistook sexual desire for love!

The other girls watching Xiaoxia storm off actually showed mocking smiles on their faces.

Some even laughed quietly among themselves.

"This Xiaoxia is nothing but a paper tiger! Many of the girls in this villa have long been fed up with her!"

Yi Tiantian thought to herself while eating.

After dinner, two more staff members walked in.

They were also dressed in black suits and loudly called out, "Yi Yi!"

Yi Tiantian and the little bird obediently followed the two staff members out of the villa.

They walked quickly, and Yi Tiantian eagerly anticipated the moment when Xie Yi and Xie Niao would finally meet.

Before long, the staff members led them to Villa No. 9, where Yi Tiantian had been earlier.

As soon as they entered the villa, Yi Tiantian saw the greasy, pot-bellied man.

It was Fei Tianyang who came out to greet them!

Yi Tiantian's heart pounded wildly.

She had not yet exchanged information with Xie Yi, and Fei Cheng and Gang Fengxing had likely just arrived on the island. She couldn't let Fei Tianyang discover her true identity now!

Sweat trickled down her back as Yi Tiantian tried to think of how to hide her male identity.

In this critical moment, Yi Tiantian suddenly saw a familiar figure emerge from behind Fei Tianyang.

The figure was tall and imposing, exuding an aura that warned others to keep their distance.

It was clearly Xie Yi!

Yi Tiantian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But then, her heart leaped to her throat again.

The little bird was right behind her, and if she was Xie Yi's sister Xie Niao, it meant that the siblings were about to meet!

With excitement, Yi Tiantian looked at Xie Yi.

Xie Yi, however, remained cold-faced and subtly shook his head.

Yi Tiantian's eyes widened, her expression filled with barely contained shock.

At that moment, the system finally revealed the truth about the girl named "little bird" behind her.

"The little bird, whose real name is Ren Xiaoniao, is a girl from the same village as Ren Ruru, who was trafficked by the scriptwriter couple. She is not Xie Niao!"
