As the rchant Lord Xiu Xiang’s household was restored, people’s hearts settled down. Although many died tonight, this was the best outco, after all, it was a battle between Divine Blood Warriors.
However, Li Yi knew that even though he extorted eighty thousand gold to temporarily let the opposition go.
Hatred was already set, and once rchant Lord Xiu Xiang returns and learns everything that happened here, he will certainly use everything in his power to retaliate, he will not swallow this anger. What kind of conflict will erupt between the two rchant Lords then, Li Yi couldn’t predict.
What he could confirm was that one of the two rchant Lords would definitely die.
After arriving in the Barbaric World, Li Yi had co to understand so of the people’s temperant and characteristics.
Seeing there was nothing else to deal with, Li Yi returned to his yard alone, intending to continue his cultivation, striving to complete his body’s transformation and reach the perfection of the Five Qi Realm as soon as possible.
At this mont.
Two graceful and beautiful Beauties followed closely behind Li Yi, wishing to serve this esteed guest, and even hoping to see if they might have the chance to bear the offspring of a Divine Blood Warrior. If Li Yi’s divine blood purity was high enough, his descendants would naturally be born as Divine Blood Warriors.
Unfortunately, these two Beauties didn’t have this chance.
"I want to rest alone, no need for you two to accompany . You may go back and rest," Li Yi said to the two Beauties.
The two Beauties exchanged a glance, showing regret and disappointnt as they felt they missed an opportunity to change their fate, for here, having the chance to serve a powerful Divine Blood Warrior was a rare privilege.
"Does the esteed guest think us two are not beautiful enough to be allowed to stay and serve, or is it because of today’s events that the esteed guest doesn’t want to accept the master’s favor, and thus I must resolve the esteed guest’s dissatisfaction with my life?" one Beauty mustered the courage to speak.
Li Yi glanced over.
These two Beauties indeed were exceptionally beautiful; he didn’t doubt rchant Lord Xiu Xiang’s taste. After all, for a rchant Lord, any woman not beautiful enough did not qualify to be a Beauty in the household, and once slightly aged or lost beauty, the rchant Lord would promptly sell them off to replace them with new beauties.
Hence, the status of a Beauty was very short-lived.
This was why these two beautiful won were eager to seize their chance within this limited ti, hoping to change the fate of being sold once again, even if it ant incurring the wrath of the esteed guest and risking their lives.
"What is your na?" Li Yi asked.
"My na is E,"
The Beauty said, "After the master bought , he called E Ji, as I am one of the most beautiful won in the household, so the master only lets serve the most honorable guests. Da Yi is the first esteed guest I have served."
Li Yi then looked at the other Beauty and asked, "What is your na?"
The other Beauty, nervous and shy, lowered her head and replied, "My na is Su, the master calls Su Ji."
"You two look sowhat similar, are you related?" Li Yi asked again.
"E and Su both co from the Changshan Tribe, which was annihilated. Due to the warriors in our tribe not being strong enough, our tribe was annexed by another, and we were sold to the Slave Master. E and Su were sold for a hundred gold, the Slave Master taught us literacy, etiquette, dance, and music, and finally, the master spent two hundred gold to buy us back. E and Su have been in the master’s household for half a year now," the woman nad E Ji said.
"No wonder I didn’t see you last ti I ca to Beihuai City; the rchant Lord hadn’t bought you back yet," Li Yi said calmly.
Indeed, this world had its civilized side and its primitive brutal side: tribal conquest, selling hostile tribes’ population to slave masters, it sounded far from civilized.
It was likely the sa for Shoushan Village, due to a lack of warrior strength and the loss of a High Priest, others would target it, destroy a village, and capture people to sell to slave masters.
However, as a Cross-border individual, although Li Yi couldn’t understand the traditions and rules of this world, he would still follow them. This is called ’When in Ro, do as the Romans do.’
He wouldn’t be foolish enough to challenge a world’s traditions and rules.
"Since you two are literate, that’s good. From today, you two will stay in my house and teach literacy. When the rchant Lord returns, I will ask the rchant Lord to gift you two to ; I believe the rchant Lord won’t refuse my request," Li Yi said straightforwardly.
He considered it better to accept these two Beauties; after all, he would have two people to command nearby, making it so not everything had to be done personally.
Having two beautiful won around was definitely better than having burly n, with muscles bulging, constantly around.
Thinking back now, he still quite missed the tis when a group of Golden Eyes Guards followed him around.
"Yes!"
E Ji and Su Ji were thrilled upon hearing this, imdiately responding and kneeling to bow before Li Yi.
They knew that with this Divine Blood Warrior’s word, their destinies had already changed.
Even if Li Yi left them behind in the future, they wouldn’t be treated as Beauties or slaves, because their status would have already changed.
Watching these two Beauties walk into the eastern yard with Li Yi, other guards, servants, and guests smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
At least Da Yi would accept the master’s favor.
If he refused everything, it would an he wouldn’t stay long in Beihuai City, and the master couldn’t keep the guest; the master’s mood upon returning would certainly be very sour.
"What are you doing?"
Once in the bedroom, Li Yi saw E Ji and Su Ji beginning to undo their garnts. As the outer clothing was removed, the thin undergarnts outlined voluptuous and graceful figures.
Their skin was very fair, soaked in who-knows-what, radiating a faint glow under the moon, stars, and sun through the window.
The air was filled with a subtle fragrance.
No wonder Xiu Xiang was willing to spend two hundred gold.
You should know that back when Li Yi was trying to find Jiang Mingtian, Zhao Fangji, and Hu Fei, the three slave masters jacked up the price on the spot and only demanded one hundred gold, while these two beauties, each was worth one hundred gold.
It really doesn’t make sense to compare people with people.
"We are naturally here to serve Da Yi," E Ji spoke, displaying a sweet smile.
Li Yi said, "No need, I fought a great battle with that Divine Blood Warrior today and don’t want to have another great battle with you two. If you want to prove your worth, it’s best not to overly rely on beauty."
"There’s a saying that goes, when one uses beauty to serve others, as beauty fades, love declines, and when love declines, favor ends."
"We are just beauties, apart from serving Da Yi, we have no other skills," E Ji said. "Of course, we can bear offspring for Da Yi. You are an esteed Divine Blood Warrior; your offspring will surely inherit your Divine Blood."
"If I could bear a Divine Blood offspring for Da Yi, I would be imnsely honored," Su Ji, who was beside her, said expectantly.
Upon hearing this, Li Yi rely said calmly, "My Divine Blood is still maturing and undergoing transformation, not yet at its peak. So, I don’t need you for the ti being. It’s already late today; you two should go and rest first. Tomorrow, start teaching to read."
"Understood!"
Upon hearing this, E Ji and Su Ji were not disappointed. They obediently picked up the clothes from the ground, intending to rest on the stone slab.
"Wait."
Li Yi then took out soft, clean bedding from the Five Elents Bracelet and tossed it over. After all, this place was bare after being rebuilt, and it wasn’t right to sleep on cold stone.
"Thank you, Da Yi."
The two imdiately showed joy and then took the bedding.
Although it was just a trivial gift, it showed that they were not loathed.
A day quickly passed.
By the next day.
Just as the sky was starting to lighten, even before the two beauties in the room had risen, Li Yi, sitting in the bedroom, suddenly opened his eyes. He felt a familiar aura reappear nearby.
It was that Divine Blood Warrior Dong Chong who was defeated last night.
Besides, rchant Lord Liehou seed to have co too.
Li Yi imdiately stepped out of the stone house.
At this ti, a guard rushed over and said, "Honorable guest, the rchant lord from last night and the Divine Blood Warrior have appeared again. This ti, they brought redemption money."
"I already know," Li Yi nodded.
People in this world have a high level of trust; they never break their promises.
Speaking of which, it brings to mind those inherently evil Earth people.
Indeed, once away from Earth, everyone’s morality seems so noble.
"Overnight, the Xiu Xiang Family was rebuilt; this isn’t the work of craftsn." At this mont, outside the gate, rchant Lord Liehou stared at the restored residence, stunned for a long ti.
The house was almost identical to before it was destroyed, except for the materials.
It used to be wooden beams, bronze decorations, with thick stone slabs on the ground, but now all materials had beco stone, and these stones had no gaps, as if sculpted from a whole mountain.
But that was clearly impossible.
How could one move a mountain and carve it into a house overnight?
Right now.
A servant hurried over, inford rchant Lord Liehou of what he had learned, and explained why this house appeared.
"Was it that Divine nad Da Yi who used so thod to reconstruct this residence in such a short ti?" At this mont, rchant Lord Liehou marveled, "I once heard stories of the rfolk weaving fabric, extraordinarily divine without seams, and in so places, it’s called Heavenly Cloth, giving rise to sayings like ’seamless Heavenly Cloth.’ I didn’t expect that the divine thod used by Da Yi to build this house was also seamless, so it must indeed be a kind of Divine Arts."
Divine Arts?
Upon hearing this term, the Divine Blood Warrior Dong Chong fell silent.
Although he was still severely injured, his strong physique, along with tily healing, allowed him to move freely today, though he still couldn’t fight.
"Divine Arts can only be awakened when the Divine Bloodline reaches a certain height, this ancient knowledge of the Divine flows through the blood," Dong Chong said. "It seems this Da Yi has already inherited the knowledge and abilities of the Divine; during yesterday’s battle, he must have held back and not shown his full power."
"At the very least, he didn’t use that big bow he carries on his back."
Upon hearing this, rchant Lord Liehou appeared a bit regretful; it seed that he had indeed made a foolish decision last night.
Looking at the heavy chest behind him, he was reluctant, but there was no better way to fulfill last night’s promise.
