At the end of the month, on a sandstorm day, while the outside world was filled with yellow sand, the territory remained peaceful and tranquil.
Meanwhile, the Viscount of Olde was in a state of turmoil.
"That damn bastard gave me such a crystal! If I get hurt, I'll definitely settle the score with that groundhog!"
"This damned sandstorm still has three more days to go! This inferior crystal probably won't last another day!"
"If I ever find out who stole my crystal, I will make them my sworn enemy!"
Ald was terrified of death, so he hid in his lord's house for three days before finally venturing out.
The outer protective shield had been teetering on the brink of collapse for three days and was still teetering on the brink. He breathed a sigh of relief; the yellow sandstorm was finally over.
"Take a headcount of my laborers, and then take a headcount of my overseers!"
"Pack up, I'm going to Qin territory tomorrow morning to reclaim my people!"
Older assumed that nineteen-year-old Qin Yiyi was no match for him; he thought that if he made a fuss, she would cry and hand over the things with both hands. But he never expected…
"Where did this fatso come from? He's ruining my appetite!"
Qin Yiyi doesn't discriminate against fat people, but this person is a round ball. You can barely see his face, but if he looks down, he might not even be able to see his own feet!
This is disgusting.
"How dare you speak like that? Call your lord out here! Give back all the people she took from me!" Olde was arrogant and domineering. Qin Yiyi, dressed in a gorgeous dress, stood in front of him with her arms crossed, momentarily unaware of what fear was.
"Can't you see your great-aunt standing here? Is your left eye underdeveloped or is your right eye fitted with a fake fish-eye? And your mouth, oh, a dog's mouth certainly can't produce ivory, but I didn't expect that even you, a dog with elephant genes, can't produce ivory!"
"What do you mean by 'took your person'? Where did I take it, when and where? Why did I take yours? Why are you only coming to complain now after all this time?"
Qin Yiyi launched into a tirade, saying that she would never try to prove her innocence; if anyone wanted to prove it, it should be the person who raised the question!
Lord Alder was speechless when asked the question.
At this moment, the slaves behind all knew that Lord Alder had come to cause trouble in front of Qin Yiyi, but Qin Yiyi did not tolerate him! However, they were still very worried.
"Will the lord send us back out?"
"The lord's way of doing things is unlikely!"
“That’s right, Lord, you’ve always been considerate of us. I don’t think you would do such a thing!”
"If the lord wanted to send us out again, wouldn't he have told us in the previous meeting to work hard and try to get a job with better pay?"
"I believe in my lord!"
"I also believe in you, Lord! My whole family are your believers!"
"Since the lord gave me the opportunity to have a stable life, I will work hard for it! We are the lord's slaves, and the lord will not give us away casually!"
“That’s right! He’s right. When we came in, we signed a contract that we were slaves, not laborers! Slaves can only follow their slave owners, and we can only follow our lord!”
After this deliberation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Yiyi was undoubtedly the most qualified lord in their hearts, but Viscount Alder's rank was higher than hers, so they were afraid that Viscount Alder would use his power to coerce their lord.
"Let's go see if the lord has given us an hour's rest time at noon. We'd like to rest now and work during the lunch break, taking turns. Is it okay if the supervisor is there?"
The surveillance was provided by Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and Deer Antlers, who themselves wanted to watch the gossip, so they quickly agreed.
"Don't get too close, it will cause trouble for our lord. Just remember that our hearts are with the sun, and our hearts will always be with our lord!"
"That's right, we love our lord, we are our lord's slaves, and we will never leave our lord!"
Old was shocked by this unexpected person.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Qin Yiyi smiled.
"That's exactly what you heard. They are my slaves! Not your laborers! If you want your laborers back, ask them if they want to go back voluntarily."
"We don't want to! We'd rather be the lord's slaves than go back to be your laborers!"
“That’s right, we’re willing to follow you, Lord. I’d rather have my children follow you than follow you!”
Old was utterly shocked. Look at what these people were saying—they'd rather be slaves than hard laborers.
Ald was furious: "You know that as laborers you are free to go wherever you want, but as slaves you can only marry slaves and your descendants will be slaves too! Do you still want to be slaves after all that?!"
When Xiongzai's father came out, the other young men also came out. Fearing that Ald would cause trouble, they took their own work tools as weapons, including hoes, rolling pins, and bricks.
“Viscount Alder, we know very well the difference between slaves and laborers, but if we were given the choice again, we would still choose to be slaves under the lord!”
"We are treated worse than slaves here as laborers, but we live the life of human beings as slaves under our lord!"
Old pointed at the group and shouted angrily, "Who took you in when you had no work! Who fed you when you had no food! And now you've betrayed me!"
The slaves shielded their lord behind them.
“Lord Olde! You took us in to work, but we worked twenty hours a day without even a proper meal. All you gave us was highly polluted rice, which caused our health indicators to rise. Every three days, you gave us low-grade polluted rice to lower our levels. You precisely calculated our pollution levels and gave us a bowl of rice to keep us alive. Why should we thank you? Thank you for making us work like inhuman laborers?”
Bear Cub's father spoke with force and conviction, while Olde stood at the gate of the territory, his face flushed with anger.
He made a gesture behind his back, and the others quietly prepared to attack.
Qin Yiyi couldn't help but scoff at his low-class tricks and sneak attacks.
The moment people rushed in, the protective shield popped up, and they were ejected.
She chose a white protective shield, which was barely visible in sunlight, so everyone, including Ald, thought the territory was unprotected.
His life was also difficult; he pushed forward and washed away his hairpiece.
Qin Yiyi shouted through a megaphone.
"Old, you're Mediterranean!"
