Ster Empire border town, slave market.

early morning.

Liu Ru was in a drowsy state of half sleep and half awake. Suddenly, a bucket of cold water mixed with broken ice poured down from top to bottom. The cold liquid stimulated the ubiquitous wounds on her body, and the scorching pain instantly spread and aroused.

"Ah!" She couldn't help but let out a low and hoarse moan.

"Look, I said I was alive. I was thirteen or fourteen years old, a girl who was as beautiful as a flower. I bought it home and became a maid. You can't buy it and suffer losses or be deceived." A greasy and hot sales voice rang in my ears.

Liu Ru wanted to open her eyes, but the swelling of her right eye made her barely open a gap in her eyes.

The warm winter sun shines on her body, allowing her to see everything in front of her.

I was on a wooden table with a heavy iron collar clasped on her neck, and the extended iron chain was locked on the pillars at the edge of the wooden table. When I looked around, there were still 70 to 80 men and women locked on the stage like her.

who I am?

Why am I here?

Liu Ru pursed her thirsty lips and carefully recalled what had happened to her. At that moment, countless memories of blood and fire surged into her heart, and anger instantly filled her mind. She couldn't help but rush towards the slave dealer who was holding a long whip and was spitting everywhere. At that moment, she led the iron chains behind her to ring.

The slave trader was enthusiastically selling the rare and pretty guy in his hand. He never expected that danger would come from behind him. He felt suddenly a pair of hands hugging him in the waist, and then a sharp pain came from his neck. He subconsciously rushed forward, barely getting rid of the crisis. When he looked back, he saw that the product he was selling was still trying hard to approach him, his mouth was blurred and bloody, and he actually bit off his neck.

Fortunately, there were still shackles on her neck, and the iron chain was stretched straight and tightly tied to her neck, just like a tied beast, who could only maintain a pounce in vain.

But even though she was almost suffocated, she still stared at the man in front of her, and red blood beads slowly flowed down the corners of her mouth.

Just now, he looked at Liu Ru's rich man with interest. He couldn't help but feel trembling when he saw the girl's fierceness. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."

As he said this, he quickly slipped away.

After all, no one dared to use such a fierce girl as her slave. Judging from the scars on her body, she has suffered a lot when she was caught here, but even so, she still looks like a beast, which makes people feel scared.

The slave trader covered the wound on his neck with his hands, and blood slowly oozed out of his fingers. He was not reminded when he took over the goods, nor had he ever seen such a brave slave. He stared at the other party, his voice as if it was coming from hell: "You stinky bitch really want to die, right?"

As he said this, he waved the long whip in his hand, and when the whip sounded in the air, the whip tip, like a spirit snake, had already fallen on Liu Ru, and immediately knocked her down to the ground with a rebellious blow.

Her body was covered with such whip marks and other injuries. She looked dying, but even so, she still stubbornly got up on the ground, staring at the other party with a rebellious and fierce look.

Even though he was used to seeing the evil people, the slave trader still felt a chill on his back when he was stared at such a look. He couldn't help but take a step back, but then he laughed again: "Okay, I'll give you my wish."

It’s not that Tang En had killed slaves. When dealing with these lowly people, whips and sticks were the only language they could understand.

So he raised his long whip and prepared to give Liu Ru another ruthless one. Today, this lowly person made him lose face, and he didn't mind beating the other party to death here to establish his authority and vent his anger.

At this moment, a cold voice from a boy came from behind him: "Wait, I bought this guy."

Tang En had no intention of turning back at all. How could he care about other people's words when he was angry? He did not pause at all in his hand and was about to swing the whip.

But then he realized that the whip could not be moved.

He turned around in a frustration and saw a young man in black-haired, looking at him with interest. The other party's pure black eyes exuded a calm and majestic smell.

"I said, I bought this guy." He said this, and then gently pulled the long whip. Tang En felt a huge shock in his wrist. The long whip came out of his hand, and was held in the boy's hand, and then threw it into the distance.

"I won't sell." Tang En squeezed out these words from his teeth.

"You said nothing." The boy said with a faint smile, then he pointed at the cover and drew an arc in the air and landed at Tang En's feet. He himself walked towards Liu Ru who was still looking fiercely ahead as if no one was around.

Liu Ru was actually ready to be beaten to death, but unexpectedly, such a young man suddenly appeared. She still did not give up on resisting, and made waves of roaring sounds from her throat with a chain tense.

"Don't mind, I'm not a bad person." The boy still smiled faintly, then stretched out his hand and quietly touched Liu Ru's head.

Liu Ru was a little stunned.

At that time, she had the opportunity to avoid it, and even said that she could take the opportunity to grab the other party's hand and bit off his fingers.

But at this moment she did nothing and couldn't even explain why.

"I don't know why you don't want to live, but I personally think this world is very interesting." The boy still said to her in a gentle and quiet voice. At the same time, his hand that was stroking Liu Ru's head quietly slid down, and then landed on Liu Ru's neck. A crisp sound was heard, and the handcuffs on Liu Ru's neck were divided into two petals and fell to the ground.

The oppression on Liu Ru's neck finally disappeared. She immediately took a few steps back alertly, trying to escape but did not take action immediately.

She knew very well that she could not escape, and she was also curious about the black-haired boy in front of her.

Seeing his actions of releasing Liu Ru, the slaves around him who had been numb to watch the show leaned towards the boy, hoping that this savior-like boy could save them from the fire and water.

"Freedom comes from fighting for it, not from waiting and praying." The boy looked at them and smiled: "I will not save you, and at least I paid for her."

As he said this, the young man stretched out his right hand towards Liu Ru.

"You have a serious injury. If you still have a little bit of faith to survive, then hold my hand."

Liu Ru looked at the other party hesitantly.

He looked like he was just about the same age as himself, but he spoke with a faint smile from beginning to end. Liu Ru could not feel the threat in him, but should she believe this stranger?

Even if he is the only beam of light he can see in his dark world.

She bit her lip and then stepped forward and held the other person's hand.

"My name is Liu Ru." Liu Ru said hoarsely.
