I looked at the young lady in front of me in shock. What kind of situation is this, why would there still be people coming to sleep? I'm not some aristocrat of the imperial palace, only when I was reminiscing about my dream of becoming a great beauty would I be able to guess that someone would change to sleep with me every night.

He quickly covered his eyes and picked up a thin sheet from the bed. He handed it to her and said, "Miss, put this on first."

She curiously asked, "What do you mean by that, sir? Are you not satisfied with this little girl?"

She immediately waved her hand and said, "No, no, it's just that I don't need anyone to take care of me. It's better if you put the sheets on first."

The woman obediently put on the blanket, covering her faintly discernible body. However, she did not go out. Instead, she found a chair and sat down.

I asked her, "What's your name?"

"Little girl, Mi Yuqi." The woman said gently.

Only then did I dare to carefully look at the girl. She was indeed very beautiful and could be said to be a beauty. Her age was very young and her face was red. I asked again, "Who asked you to come in?"

The tone sounded somewhat unfriendly, but it was actually not malicious. Just saying this sentence had a reproachful meaning, but I just wanted to ask this question. Unexpectedly, Mi Yuqi who was wearing a sheet immediately knelt down and said: "Master, it's my fault. If Master doesn't like his, I'll go out right now and find another sister to serve Master."

She was like a frightened rabbit. I was shocked by her actions and immediately helped her up. "Don't be like this. You didn't do anything wrong. Don't kneel down." I have always been curious about the people here, not because of their appearance but because of their behavior, always fearful of respect for me, always extremely humble, always afraid of offending me, just as the ancient servants were afraid of noblemen.

I asked her, "Why are you so afraid of me?"

She didn't dare to say anything. I smiled and said, "It's fine. Just say it. I won't tell anyone else."

She looked at me timidly and said, "Because the adults said that the humans are very strong. They can kill us all with one hand. There are both bad people and good people. If we don't respect them, we will be killed."

It turns out that the child is instilled with such a thought, a closed education, the child can only know what the educator wants them to know, for many things there is only partial and extreme understanding, it is as if history is forever confusing, we only know the history of the victor that others want us to know.

I said to her, "Humans aren't that powerful. There are also people who are just ordinary. They come from the sun, and as the sun sets, they become simple. Most people don't deliberately hurt others."

She said doubtfully, "But the chief said that not only will the humans kill us, but he will also sell us to be slaves."

The moment I heard the word "slaves", I became extremely furious. In my mind, human traffickers should not exist, how could they sell living beings with high intelligence, and these Pyramids were undoubtedly intelligent living beings.

I asked, "Is this true? Are you really being sold by humans as a commodity? "

Mi Yuqi shook her head and said: "I don't know either, the Patriarch said it like that, and the Lord also said it like that."

At this moment, the door was pushed open by a huge force and a panicked youth ran in. When he saw me, he immediately knelt before me and said, "My lord, please let Yuqi go. I'm willing to be an ox or a horse, as long as you let Yuqi go."

This person was the eldest child of the group during the day. I helped him up, and the people here would always kneel down. Anyone who kneels down for no reason would have their lifespan shortened.

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything to Miss Yuqi." "No," I said. He glanced at Yuqi, who nodded. He knelt down before me once again and said, "Thank you, milord."

I helped him up again. Even if you weren't tired, I was already tired. Every time, I would go and help you up. I asked, "What's your name?"

"I am Li Late." he said humbly.

"No need to speak such vile words. There is no difference between the two of us. It's fine as long as we are of equal age."

"Yes, my lord!"

Seems like he couldn't change anything, so he ignored him and asked Yuqi, "Miss Yuqi, who sent you here?"

"It's the Patriarch."

I stood up and told the two of them, "The two of you should head home. I'll go find your clan leader to discuss some matters." As he spoke, he stood up. Yu Qi immediately pulled me back and said, "Sir, don't go. If you don't, the clan leader will blame me for not being able to take care of you." I gently removed her hand and smiled. "It's fine. He won't blame you. Moreover, you won't have to serve anyone from now on."

After saying that, he walked out. He met a passerby, and after asking where the clan leader was, he walked over. Arriving at the door, he opened it and knocked on it. Upon hearing the words' please enter ', he walked in.

The clan head with the calligraphy on top raised his head and saw me. He immediately put down his brush and walked over, "Esteemed human lord, was it not good for Yuqi to serve you? She's the prettiest girl we have here and she's definitely a virgin. "

When he stopped, I said, "I don't need anyone's service, so you don't need to treat me as a VIP. I am just a Outsider who accidentally barged into your village, you don't need to be so humble in front of me."

Clan leader Lie De immediately said, "How can we do that? You are our esteemed guest, we must treat you well."

"Patriarch, I want to ask you something, although as an outsider, I would be a bit nosy." "No," I said.

"Milord, if there's anything you need, please ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know."

I said, "I want to ask you, is it true what the kids say is going to be taken away? I want a real answer. "

Lie De lowered his head, had not made a sound all along, and suddenly raised his head again: "Sir, can I completely trust you?"

"All I can say is that I mean no harm, I'm just a passerby. Seeing the kids here and wanting to know these things, I'm not a bad person."

Lie De said: "I believe, our clan does not have anything that is worth Master to snatch. Since we do not have much goods, and we do not have any feelings for the beautiful lady, and she helped us resist the monsters, I will tell Master about this matter."

"The sale is real, and I also lied to you before. This barrier wasn't set up long ago, it was set up for us by a powerful human warrior 30 years ago, at that time I could not confirm what you thought, so I did not dare speak the truth. I hope you will forgive me."

I indicated that I understood. I understand that you must let others go, but I still find it hard to accept that buying and selling human beings is actually true.

He continued, "Thirty years ago, our race lived an unsettled life. Although the nobles of the human race looked at our small stature, they looked no different from humans. People often came to capture the women of our race to use as bargaining chips."

"We kept running, running wherever they didn't catch us, but unfortunately, we were all caught, we were caught, we were raised like animals, women were turned into playthings by the nobles' masters, they satisfied their various perverts, and led a painful life. I originally thought that life was dark and dull, and that I hated humans very much. But one day, a human youth with a sword on his back and a snake-shaped monster following by his side cut off that noble master's head with a single sword strike, saving us, and brought us here. He set up this barrier, allowing us to live a peaceful life here. "

I clenched my fists tightly. I was the most furious towards my actions of bullying the weak and bullying the weak. It was likely because I was only a weak existence before I arrived here.

The chief continued, "So we fear and respect humans. We know that not all humans are bad people, but the experience makes it impossible for me not to hate humans. "We've been living here ever since we were saved by that young man, and you're the first human to come in here. That's why when you came in we asked you if you knew our tribe, and when you said that you didn't know us personally, we treated you like a VIP."

I said, "Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?"

The chief said, "If you are here to capture us humans, you don't need to lie to us. Those who know our race know that our race is weak, as long as you are a powerful human, we can only surrender. There is no need to lie to us."

"Didn't the person who saved you come back?" I asked.

The chief sighed and said, "No, not even once. He left in a hurry, as if he was afraid. He left after setting up the boundary."

I wondered why this was Lei Feng who did good deeds without leaving a name. Thinking about it, this kind of mythical figure shouldn't exist.

The chief continued, "We are not sure if humans are good or bad, so we will teach the children in the village to be like servants when they see humans. This way, they can at least keep their lives when they are happy, because we are too weak, unable to protect ourselves."

I thought about how those children treated me like a hero with such an innocent smile, so I didn't want such thoughts of inferiority to sink deep into their hearts. I mysteriously told the chief, "In the future, don't tell the children that you have to maintain a low status in front of humans, don't tell them that you are inferior to them. Tell them that they are the same as humans, equal."

The Lie De Patriarch said with some difficulty: "But what if the humans we meet in the future aren't like you, but are the cruel us? We don't even have the strength to fight back against human experts like you."

I walked to the table where Clan Leader Lie De was writing earlier. I picked up a brush and drew a crescent moon on a piece of white paper, along with a sword in my hand. It was the Twilight Moon's emblem. He picked up the painting and said, "In the future, this design will guard this place. I will guard this place."

What I hate the most is the inequality between people. Why divide people into different grades? Why can the strong bully the weak? Why?
