Shizhi held one end of the iron chain, while the other end was tied to the hands of a woman with golden hair.

There were dried bloodstains on her body, emitting a strong stench.

This woman was Ria, Iris's little blood bag.

Ria felt uncomfortable under the gaze of the people around her, but she couldn't do anything about it. She didn't dare to resist and could only endure silently.

"Am I going to be sold to slave traders by this woman? Slave traders will imprint a curse on themselves, and if I don't obey, I will be punished. Then I will be auctioned off as a commodity and eventually become the plaything of those high-ranking officials. Every day, I will be naked, serving them, eating their white sticky substance." Thinking of this, Ria felt a chill in her heart. "I absolutely cannot let this happen!"

She was a young lady, and a princess of the elf race. How could she become someone else's plaything?

Ria made up her mind. She had to escape.

"Ah!!!" Ria screamed like a madwoman, struggling and trying to break free from the iron chain that bound her.

Shizhi turned her head and watched the foolish elf perform. Along the way, the foolish elf had tried many times to use her power to break free from the iron chain.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free. In fact, her strength became weaker and weaker, to the point where she couldn't exert any strength at all.

"Are you done causing a scene, foolish elf?" Shizhi looked at Ria coldly. "If you're done, let's go."

"Wait...wait." Ria gasped for breath and said, "I...I can break free."

Ria gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly. She refused to become a slave.

"Erupt! Cosmo!" Ria shouted in her heart, "I am a noble princess of the elf race. How can I become someone else's plaything?"

Snap!

Ria fell to the ground exhausted, but the iron chain in her hands didn't break at all.

"It seems that becoming a slave is irreversible." Ria thought to herself.

Then, like a rooster, Shizhi lifted Ria up from the ground and walked towards the palace of the Sun-Moon Empire.

During this time, the foolish elf didn't make any more trouble, as if she had accepted her fate.

...

Inside the palace of the Sun-Moon Empire, it was quiet, with only the sound of the wind rustling the leaves.

The pillars in front of the palace were intricately carved, and at the top of one of the pillars were two large gemstones, emitting a dazzling light, making the entire palace look like a beautiful and noble fairyland.

At this moment, a maid hurriedly arrived at the entrance of the palace. She bowed and whispered, "Your Majesty, Shizhi has returned."

Upon hearing this, Qizhou stood up from the throne and went to the door to welcome Shizhi's return.

"Any news about the key?" Qizhou asked.

Shizhi shook her head, placed Ria on the ground, and said to Qizhou, "This foolish elf has Your Majesty's aura on her. I guess she must be Your Majesty's private possession, so I brought her back."

"Oh?" Qizhou's eyes lit up as she looked at Ria. This meant that Your Majesty was not dead! Otherwise, the aura would have disappeared.

Qizhou untied the iron chain binding Ria's hands, and Ria immediately tried to run, but Shizhi caught her and lifted her in front of Qizhou.

"Aren't elves supposed to be mischievous? How come there's a foolish elf like you?" Shizhi looked at Ria coldly.

"I...I'm not a foolish elf!" Ria argued loudly.

"Shizhi, go rest. We will go to the Crimson Empire in a few days!" Qizhou's pupils flashed with a red light, indicating that a massacre was about to happen.

"Understood." Shizhi nodded and left the palace.

At this moment, Ria looked at the man named Qizhou in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

Am I going to serve this man in the future? Isn't there any middleman to make a profit? Ria couldn't help but worry.

She had thought that she could cause a scene at the slave trader's place and find an opportunity to escape, but she didn't expect to be brought directly to the employer. This man's power surpassed hers, and he didn't even need to imprint any curses on her.

Ria had already anticipated that this man would definitely make inappropriate moves towards her next.

Qizhou gently lifted Ria's chin with his right hand, carefully observing her appearance, and murmured, "Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a raised strand of hair. You must be a fairy princess. Compared to your ancestors, I don't think you're very clever."

Ria couldn't bear it anymore. The woman in the black robe called her stupid, and now this man was saying she wasn't very smart.

Wasn't this insulting her?

"You're the stupid one, and your whole family is stupid." Ria angrily retorted, her cheeks turning red.

"Hehe." Qizhou chuckled and slowly said, "Not being smart doesn't mean being stupid. Besides, I'm stating a fact. Your ancestors weren't very outstanding fairies, were they?"

"I..." Ria had nothing to say. She really wasn't as good as her ancestors.

"Xiao'an, help this fairy girl clean her wounds and also give her a bath and change of clothes." Qizhou said calmly.

"Yes!" Anya bowed and then helped Ria up and walked out.

"I won't let you succeed. I'll clean up and then you can enjoy me." Ria glared at Qizhou fiercely, silently vowing in her heart.

Anya, who was on the side, looked at Ria's expression and couldn't help but smile. "His Majesty has a good temper. He won't do anything to you, miss."

Upon hearing this, Ria disdainfully pursed her lips. "I won't believe you."

"Believe it or not. No matter how capable you are, as long as His Majesty doesn't allow it, you will never escape." Anya smiled.

"Hmph!" Ria snorted coldly and said no more.

After years of hard practice, her magic skills had improved a lot. She believed she could escape.

Anya led Ria into the bathhouse and began to help her wash her body. Ria had a great figure, delicate and curvaceous, especially her chest, which seemed like it was about to burst out of her clothes. Anya couldn't help but marvel.

"The miss has such a full chest." Anya couldn't help but exclaim.

"Don't touch me randomly, or I won't be polite to you." Ria glared at Anya.

"Yes, yes." Anya nodded repeatedly and continued to help Ria clean her body.

Anya had a good temper and didn't take Ria's words to heart. She continued to help Ria bathe.

"You can wash the front yourself. I'll go prepare clothes for you." Anya said as she left, making sure to close the door before leaving.

Seeing Anya leave, Ria couldn't help but feel happy and immediately prepared to escape.

She wrapped herself in a towel and walked barefoot towards the exit.

"Ouch!" Just a few steps out, Ria was attacked by a bar of soap. Her feet slipped and she fell to the ground.

Ria held her buttocks and picked up the soap, throwing it at the wall. However, the soap hit the wall and bounced back, hitting her head. Her head immediately started buzzing.

"Ah! It hurts!" Ria couldn't help but cry out in pain.

I can't take it anymore. I've been bullied by that woman in the black robe all the way, and now even this soap dares to bully me.

She stepped on it, but with a "thud," Ria slipped and fell to the ground again.

In the following time, Ria fought against the soap, rubbing her head while battling. Her head was now both painful and swollen, as if she had been beaten up, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She had a big bump on the back of her head from the fall.

At this moment, Anya came to the bathroom door with clothes in hand and heard Ria's screams. She immediately placed the clothes on the table by the bathroom door and walked in.

She saw Ria still lying on the ground and couldn't help but walk over to check the situation.

"Are you okay, miss?" Anya crouched down and saw Ria holding her head, unable to help but ask.

"I'm fine, what could be wrong with me." Ria shook her head, pretending to be calm.

Anya looked at the soap on the side, then saw Ria holding her head, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Why bother with the soap? Quickly rinse off the foam from your body, and I'll take you for treatment." Anya laughed and said, "Shizhi was right, you really are a clumsy fairy."

Ria glared at Anya in anger and said, "I'm not a clumsy fairy! Most of the time, I'm very clever."

"Yes, yes, miss, please wash quickly. I'll wait for you at the door." Anya quickly nodded in agreement.

She stood at the bathroom door, holding back her laughter, and then closed the door.

Ria was speechless for a moment. She had a good chance to escape, but it was ruined by this piece of soap.

She washed off the foam from her body and wrapped herself in a towel.

Anya handed Ria a set of light green dress, "Put this on."

Ria took the dress and walked out of the bathroom. She put on the dress, tied her long hair up high, and looked very beautiful.

"Follow me." Anya led the way.

Anya led Ria to the door of a bedroom, pushed it open, and walked in. "This is your bedroom. Rest for a while, I'll find a physician to treat your injuries."

With that, Anya smiled and turned to leave.

Ria sat on the bed, looking around the room. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the decoration was exquisite and luxurious. The room was also filled with a faint fragrance, everything was meticulously arranged.

Slaves are treated like this? It's unbelievable!

She lay on the bed, thinking about how to escape. Unconsciously, Ria fell asleep.

"Ah~"

Ria, who was asleep, suddenly woke up and let out a sharp cry.

"What's wrong, Miss Ria?" At that moment, Anya pushed open the door and quickly ran over.

Ria looked up at Anya and shook her head, "It's nothing, just had a nightmare."

"Then let's eat." Anya brought the food to Ria's side.

Ria scratched her head and found that the lump on the back of her head had disappeared, and the bruises on her body were also gone.

"The healing mage took the opportunity while you were sleeping to heal your injuries." Anya couldn't help but admire.

Ria silently ate her meal, thinking about how to escape.

"Aren't you afraid that we might poison you?" Anya suddenly said.

Ria stopped chewing, paused for a moment, and then continued eating.

"After eating so much, if I were to be poisoned, then so be it." Ria thought to herself.

"This elf is not stupid. If we wanted to kill her, we would have done it long ago. We wouldn't have kept her until now." Anya thought to herself.

If Anya knew what Ria was thinking, the label of "stupid elf" would definitely not be removed.

"I was just kidding, there's no poison. Rest well and try not to go out at night, otherwise, you might get into trouble." Anya advised.

Ria silently nodded, but in her heart, she thought, if you don't want me to go out, then I will go out.

Ria lay on the bed, quietly waiting for the night.
