After returning to the Demon Realm, Xiao Liyue began to take over the position of his own master. He looked at the dozen memorials on the table and flipped through them casually.
After reading several memorials, she found that they were basically all about unimportant things. If she spent time reviewing memorials every day, it would be a waste of her time for cultivation.
Now that her master and Demon Lord Mo Yan are both in seclusion for training, she doesn't have many trustworthy demon guards and disciples around her.
Therefore, she is isolated and helpless in the demon world. Once her master ascends to heaven, she will have no power or support.
So after thinking for a moment, Xiao Liyue smiled and said, "Wenqing, come in for a moment."
She opened the door tenderly and walked in: "What instructions does Lord Demon Emperor have?"
"I am now the emperor of a world. Apart from you and Brother Tiezhu, I have no other trustworthy guards and disciples around me, so I want to recruit some guards and train them, and also recruit some disciples by the way." Xiao Liyue said.
Wen Qing's expression became serious: "Master Demon Emperor, if you want to train your own guards, you can only go to the slave market and the dead soldiers to choose some suitable people and train them to be your guards. Generally, our disciples in the demon world have families. It is not easy to get them to follow you wholeheartedly. Just like our Wen family is the guard of Master Emperor, and you are Master Emperor's disciple, our Wen family will naturally follow you."
"Okay! I understand. Take me to the slave market in the demon world tomorrow and I will select some secret guards and bodyguards. After all, only when you become strong can you be truly safe." Xiao Liyue said.
Nodding tenderly, he agreed with her idea.
After all, Xiao Liyue's power is too weak now. Because of Lord Emperor, those people dare not touch her. Otherwise, it would be easy for those old guys to overthrow her.
On the morning of the second day, Xiao Liyue and Wen Qing both dressed up as men and went to Beixing City, the most prosperous city in the Demon Realm, with Zhang Tiezhu. As soon as they entered the city, they saw that it was crowded with people and it was very lively.
Zhang Tiezhu has been practicing in the Demon Realm for the past three hundred years and has never been to the Demon Realm's Beixing City, so he had an expression of curiosity and surprise along the way.
She looked at him with a puzzled look on her face: "Zhang Tiezhu, is this your first time in the Demon Realm North Star City?"
"Hehe...yes! It's the first time I've seen such a prosperous city. There are so many people here." Zhang Tiezhu said happily.
Xiao Liyue waved her white jade fan and said with a smile: "Today I will take you for a good stroll, so that your trip will not be in vain."
Zhang Tiezhu smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Mo... Thank you, Master."
Fortunately, Wen Qing pinched him and he reacted and did not reveal her true identity. You must know that Xiao Liyue is now a woman disguised as a man. If someone knew that she was the new female demon emperor of the demon world, it would definitely cause a riot.
Wen Qing led the way in front. Xiao Liyue and Zhang Tiezhu admired the scenery as they walked. If they found something delicious, they would ask for it to buy. So Zhang Tiezhu's hands were full of food. They both ate happily as they walked. Only Wen Qing was embarrassed to eat while walking.
After passing through the busy streets, they came to a quiet and dark alley.
After walking in, I found that the iron cages on the roadside were filled with demons, some were half-demon and half-human, and some were pure-blooded demons.
They were all locked in tiny iron cages. Even inside, their hands and feet were tied with chains. Their eyes were filled with despair and emptiness.
There are old people, women and even pregnant women. The majority are young and beautiful men and women, and of course there are also quite a few children.
Seeing them wearing tattered clothes and with their heads lowered, Xiao Liyue felt a little bit sorry for them.
After all, as a modern person, it is still a bit shocking to see such a brutal scene.
Wen Qing saw this and said, "Some of these people's ancestors made big mistakes in the demon world, and then they were exiled here together and became slaves. Some of them offended people from major families, causing their families to become slaves together. The demons who were branded as slaves basically have no resources for cultivation. They can only be slaves for generations and cannot make a breakthrough. Therefore, the people in this cage are generally innocent people who have been implicated."
The vendors nearby saw Xiao Liyue and the others dressed elegantly, and they immediately greeted them with a smile, "Young master, come and have a look. We have a new batch of beautiful female slaves. I have whatever slaves you want. Come and take your pick!"
Xiao Liyue's mouth twitched. She couldn't accept that humans were treated as animals. Although they were from the demon clan, they were also human beings.
Hearing the hawker's shouting, many slaves in the cages looked up. After all, only by being sold would they have the opportunity to continue practicing and survive.
However, seeing the three young men, the men and children all lowered their heads with regret. After all, when young nobles came here to buy slaves, they basically picked good-looking female slaves and took them back as playthings.
Xiao Liyue ignored the vendor and observed each iron cage by herself. She saw a tall but thin black-haired boy locked in one of the iron cages. Although he hid his strength, his strength had already reached the middle stage of human-demon realm.
So she said, "Lift your head."
The black-haired boy ignored her and continued to rest with his head down and eyes closed.
Seeing that he ignored him, the vendor nearby picked up an iron rod and hit the iron cage: "I'm calling you, you little bastard! Hurry up and raise your head so that the guests can see you. If you piss off the guests, I'll make you pay for it tonight!"
In order to avoid being beaten at night, the black-haired boy had to raise his head.
When I saw the black-haired boy's angular face, there was a pair of deep red eyes, shining with mysterious light like two red gems. His high nose bridge gave people a feeling of firmness and pride. His lips were tightly closed, revealing a calmness that was inconsistent with his age.
Xiao Liyue asked, "How old are you?"
The black-haired boy didn't say anything, and the vendor next to him immediately said with a smile: "My lord, this boy is fifteen years old. Although he is a little thin, he can practice and has good talent. If you train him well in the future, he will definitely become your capable assistant."
Xiao Liyue ignored the vendor and squatted down near the iron cage, staring at him intently: "Do you want to be a slave for the rest of your life? Or do you choose to leave here with me and become a superior person? I will only ask you once, are you willing to trust me once and follow me?"
Looking at her determined eyes, the black-haired boy was a little hesitant. As a person who was branded as a slave, did he really have a chance to become a superior person? Five years ago, his father offended the Venerable in the Demon Realm, so the Venerable killed his parents in anger, and he was exiled here and became a slave. In the past five years, he was bought and sold ten times, so could he still believe the words of the red-haired man in front of him?
