After the destruction of her family, Lin Wan never had a peaceful sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she would see the bloody scenes of her home, the mournful cries of her father and sister, as well as the desperate howls of her mother. This childhood trauma of hers haunted her throughout her life. Earlier, she would constantly wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, but after stepping onto the path of cultivation, she never slept once. Perhaps it was her way of keeping herself safe from that trauma.
Besides, once someone starts cultivating, sleep is just a waste of time. Cultivators would rather spend that time getting strong and progressing further. After all, one of the biggest advantages of cultivation is that one would always be full of energy and free of diseases. Even if they didn't sleep, their bodies wouldn't be affected in the slightest.
Till yesterday, Lin Wei followed this same pattern. But now...
*Clang... clang... clang...
It was the chiming of the bell that woke her up.
"Umm..." Opening her eyes with a struggle, she looked around in confusion. An unfamiliar room, and an unfamiliar place... It took a moment for her to slowly come back to her senses. With every passing moment, the memories of the previous night became clear.
She tried to move her body, but the moment she did, an intense sense of pleasure as well as a sense of fullness overwhelmed her lower half.
"Mmmm❤️"
She could still feel the soft, thick and hot thing that was resting inside her body. For a moment, she couldn't believe that she fell asleep with this thing inside her.
She didn't dare to move, but with every passing moment, a sense of shame and anger filled her heart.
She just wanted to teach a lesson to that lowly slave. How could things spiral out of control and result in this ridiculous situation?
"Wan'er, Oh Wan'er! When did you become such an animal?" Biting the bottom of her lips, she could feel his hot breath directly on her breasts, sending a shiver down her body.
Gritting her teeth, she finally stood up with some struggle and with a *plop, the massive cock that was inside her body slipped out, completely covered in white sticky substance.
The moment it slipped out of her honey hole, Wan'er felt a sense of loss like never before. But she endured it and put on her tight clothes.
And just when she was about to take off her robe from his face, her hand stopped mid-way. His soul-stirring appearance was still clearly imprinted in her mind. She didn't dare to bet that if she were to see his face once again, she wouldn't repeat the same process.
"Hmph." With a snort, she just took back the ribbon that was restricting Yang Ze's movement before wrapping it around her hand and then stepping outside the house.
Even though she experienced such ups and downs last night, her body was still in perfect condition. She didn't feel tired or any pain coming from her lower half. Instead, when she circulated her inner strength, she could feel something hot and extremely potent inside her body.
"It's true." Lin Wei's eyes lit up in excitement as she focused her attention on that ball of white fluid in her body. She could feel an extremely terrifying energy from it. But it didn't seem harmful to her. On the contrary, she had a wonderful feeling that if she managed to refine and absorb it all, she was going to make progress by leaps and bounds.
She gazed back inside the room where the body of a naked boy half her size was still lying in a deep sleep. Other than his face, which was covered by a black robe, his entire body was on a perfect display. He didn't have bulging muscles like those brutes from body cultivation. Instead, his body looked rather frail and soft, as if it would break upon touch.
"Gulp." Lin Wei suppressed her urge to rush back in and averted her eyes from him. She needed to come up with a plan. It was impossible for her to report on his condition to anyone else.
What a joke... who would hand over such a treasure to another woman willingly?
She was going to keep him to herself. He was her opportunity. Fate gifted him to her, so it was natural for her to use him to her advantage.
"Mother... sister..." With him in her possession, she was sure that she could progress by leaps and bounds and one day would be able to take revenge on those people who put her through hell.
Stepping outside the house, she locked the door and sealed it shut with the ribbon before disappearing from there.
Yang Ze, on the other hand, was still in a deep sleep. From his arrival in this unknown world to being held captive and being sold as a slave, to finally being taken advantage of... Everything happened so fast that his mind was still unable to keep up with it. In his sleep, he dreamt that he was back on Earth, enjoying his peaceful life.

"Eh! Someone is late on the first day?" At the bottom of the mountain, the old woman raised an eyebrow while looking at the number of slaves in front of her with a cold smile on her face.
She didn't say a word, but continued to assign the duties to them.
It wasn't until the last slave left that she took out the small disk-shaped object from her robe and inserted some of her internal energy.
Feeling the fluctuations from it, the corners of her lips curled up, "So, he is alive."
The Blood oath wasn't only used for controlling and punishing the slaves. It has a myriad of functions, and one of the most common functions is that it tells if the slave is alive or not. Other than that, it could also point in the direction of the slave, quashing any hopes of their escape.
With a cold smile on her face, she placed the disk on her palm and followed the direction before finally standing in front of Yang Ze's house.
"Still sleeping?" The cold smile on her face only deepened as she began to think of ways to punish this little bastard.
"Should I peel off his skin or should I give him a hundred cuts and pour salt on it?" Her words were chilling, and if the older slaves heard her, they would have trembled in fear. After all, it wasn't just empty talk. She had done it countless times before. In fact, it was one of her favourite things to do. Watching those young boys scream in agonising pain... Just thinking about it was enough to fill her with excitement.
"YOU LITTLE BASTARD..." With a loud shout, she was about to kick open the door and drag him out, but before she could even finish her sentence, her words got stuck in her throat.
Looking at the delicate ribbon in front of her that was giving off a hazy glow, she even rubbed her eyes in disbelief, wondering if she was seeing things. But even after rubbing till her eyes got red, when she didn't see it disappear, she took a deep breath before taking a few steps back in fear.
How could she not recognise this ribbon? This delicate-looking black ribbon with phoenix embedded upon it was the very same that tore off the heads of the previous three stewards.
She knew exactly to whom this belonged and what it represented. Lin Wei might consider herself a maid of the Young Lady Lin Yue, but in Lin Yue's eyes, she was no less than her elder sister. And any disrespect towards her was disrespect towards the Young Lady of the Lin Family. For such disrespectful people, their only fate was dying under this ribbon.
When Young Lady Lin Yue ran to this slave area to play, the previous stewards... those old women, jealous of her looks, insulted her. And then... their decapitated heads were found the next day.
"Gulp." Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she didn't dare to spend another second here. She didn't know why that devil woman would leave her ribbon here or what her relationship with this little slave was. Neither was she foolish enough to ask or poke her nose in that matter.
She quietly turned around and walked back. Midway, she even erased his restriction from the disk-shaped object, freeing him from the status of slave.
After doing all that, she quietly headed to her pavilion, completely forgetting that such a boy exists amongst the slaves.
------------------
"Oh! That little bastard isn't here?" Lin Yue, who was just hopping around with a bored expression, was surprised to see that the boy who had previously stood up to her wasn't there amongst the slaves.
"Did I overestimate him?" By now, that boy would have been tortured to death by that old woman. Thinking about how she finally found something fun to play with and how he was going to die so soon, she couldn't help but walk towards the old woman's pavilion.
With her strength, it took her less than twenty seconds to reach her destination.
Standing in front of the pavilion that was eerily quiet, she let out a frown. By now, this place should have been filled with the miserable cries of that young boy. Why was it so silent now?
"Did that old wench change her habits?" The moment this thought came to her mind, she threw it out. How could she not understand the true nature of that old wench? Underneath all that smile, she was a cruel and vicious animal who would torture young boys for fun. It was just that she was extremely respectful towards her and Lin Wan, so she never paid any attention to that old hag.
She lifted her finger, and with that, her figure seemed to turn blurry. She was still standing there, but her figure seemed to have blended with the environment.
Taking a step forward, she disappeared from her place, standing directly in front of the old woman, who seemed to be in a deep sleep.
"Eh! Not here." She gazed around with a frown and even sniffed a few times to look for the smell of blood. But there was nothing...
Reaching inside the old woman's robe, she took out the jade-like disk and, after a while, exclaimed in surprise.
"Eh!? He is still alive and in his house?" Now her interest was truly piqued. Usually, this old hag would be the first one to punish boys like him, but now.
Placing the jade disk back in its place, she took another step and disappeared from her place.
One had to understand that the old woman wasn't weak. On the contrary, she had stepped into the Pulse Opening realm. Even if she was at the Early stage, it was impossible for her to be so unaware of her situation. But now... Forget about reacting, she wasn't even able to sense the young lady in front of her,
Without wasting another second, Lin Yue rushed towards the place where that unruly boy was living. It didn't take her long before she was standing in front of that old house, but unlike that old steward, she immediately noticed the ribbon sealing the door to the house.
"EEEEHHHH!?" A surprised scream escaped her lips as she saw Lin Wei's personal weapon there.
For a moment, her mind almost stopped working. The two of them have been living together for almost twenty years, and in this world, perhaps she was the only one who knew her the best.
Which was why she was filled with disbelief upon seeing the ribbon there.
"What the.." Closing her eyes, she raised her left foot and then gently tapped it on the ground.
After a few moments, she opened her eyes in confusion.
"I can only sense the presence of the boy inside. What's going on?" She couldn't understand why Lin Wan would leave her personal weapon here to guard the boy. Yes... The boy was unruly, but it was hardly anything special. She had played with countless boys who were arrogant at first, only to break down and cry under her relentless torture. This was what she loved to do the most, and this was why she was happy when she found such a person amongst this group of slaves.
She could have punished him for talking back to her, but she wanted to take her sweet time.
And now... With a frown, she didn't break open the door. Instead, after glancing around, she just turned around and headed to her pavilion to find Lin Wei. She wanted to understand why this woman, whom she considered her sister, would go this far for a mere slave.
--------------
An hour after Lin Wei left that place, inside the dimly lit room, Yang Ze finally opened his eyes...
