Xiao Liyue looked at the sadness in his eyes and reached into the iron cage to touch his head, but the black-haired boy subconsciously dodged.
She didn't get angry but smiled and said: "The opportunity to change your destiny is right in front of you, are you willing to try again?"
The peddler was about to start cursing, but was pulled away by Wen Qing: "Don't bother my young master." Then he threw some magic stones into his hand.
The peddler took it with a smile: "Haha... dear customers, please take your time to choose. If you are not satisfied with this one, I have other good-looking young boys." After saying that, he happily stepped aside.
The black-haired boy looked at him. To be honest, it was the first time he saw such a handsome man. However, seeing Xiao Liyue looking so serious, he nodded.
After seeing him nod, Xiao Liyue smiled and said, "Buy him warmly and take him away."
"Yes, sir." He responded tenderly.
After Wen Qing handed the magic stone to the vendor, the black-clothed boy's indenture contract was given to Xiao Liyue.
Looking at the young man in black walking out of the iron cage, Xiao Liyue waved her hand to cut the chains that bound him, and continued to look at the iron cages of other vendors.
If she wanted the guards to follow her wholeheartedly, she had to train them from a young age, so she bought all the children under the age of fifteen in the iron cage.
This heroic act made all the vendors very happy. After all, no one would buy the child, so now that someone was willing to buy it at a high price, they were naturally happy to sell it.
Zhang Tiezhu looked at the thousand children standing in a row, frowned and said, "Sir... why are you only buying children? Can they fight? It would be better to buy young and strong men."
Xiao Liyue smiled mysteriously: "I have great freedom, let's go back."
So the three of them returned to the Demon Realm with a large group of children. The black-haired boy who had been following Xiao Liyue was very surprised to see that she was from the Demon Realm.
Xiao Liyue looked at how dirty they were, so she told Wen Qing to take the children to wash and then prepare uniform clothes for each of them. When all the children changed into new clothes, they stood in the hall excitedly.
After all, they had never seen such a magnificent palace, which made people feel an incomparably majestic royal aura.
Even though they were all very curious and excited, the children stood very well and obediently. The whole hall was very quiet and no child spoke.
At this moment, Xiao Liyue had changed her clothes and came back. Then she walked from the back hall to the dragon throne. The children of the prince were surprised when they saw the woman on the dragon throne.
Wen Qing said sternly: "The person on the dragon throne is the Lord Demon Emperor of our Demon Realm. From today on, your lives belong to Lord Demon Emperor. Seeing Lord Demon Emperor, why don't you kneel down and salute?"
When the older children heard this, they were so scared that they all knelt down. The younger children, seeing the older brothers and sisters around them kneeling down, also knelt down like them.
The black-haired boy didn't expect that she was the Demon Emperor of the Demon World, so he also knelt down.
Xiao Liyue said softly: "Get up!"
Upon hearing this, the children slowly stood up and looked at her nervously.
They didn't expect that the Demon Emperor of a world was actually a woman, and a very beautiful young woman.
Seeing their stunned expressions, Xiao Liyue smiled gently and said, "I am Xiao Liyue, the new Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm, so many of you may not have heard of my name. But from today on, you are my people, and I, Xiao Liyue, never keep useless people, so I need you all to become stronger and protect the Demon Realm with me."
"Of course, I will also select those with good talents from among you and personally train them to be my secret guards, including my personal disciples. But if anyone dares to betray me, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you don't want to be my people, I can set you free and won't force you."
Everyone looked at each other. They were all branded as slaves and would not be able to survive even if they left.
Becoming the Demon Emperor was something they never dared to think about in their lifetime, and it was also their only chance to escape the mark of slavery, so the older children began to speak up.
"We are willing to follow the Demon Emperor forever."
In the end, everyone chose to stay and no one chose to leave.
Xiao Liyue looked at the children and selected two hundred of them with good demonic roots. She decided to keep them by her side and train them personally, and the rest were handed over to Wen Qing and Zhang Tiezhu, asking them to teach according to her method.
So the rest of the children were taken away by Wen Qing, and Xiao Liyue selected three of the remaining two hundred children to be his own disciples.
Xiao Liyue ordered Zhang Tiezhu to take the remaining two hundred or so children to the palace next door to stay there first, let them rest for a night, and then train them well tomorrow.
The two men and one woman who were left behind were the black-haired boy in front, one of the thirteen-year-old red-haired boys, and a ten-year-old girl.
The three of them looked at Xiao Liyue, feeling somewhat uneasy. They could not believe that they would be accepted as disciples by the Emperor.
"Please introduce yourselves! After all, I don't even know your names yet." Xiao Liyue said gently.
The three were shocked. Could they tell their own names? After all, after they became slaves, they could no longer use their original names. They had to wait for the seller to give them new names.
The young man in black hesitated for a moment and was the first to speak: "Lan Yi..."
The young man in red said happily: "Disciple Luo Chuanhe..."
"Disciple... My name is Xia Zhixue." The little girl said with some fear.
Xiao Liyue looked at the three of them, smiled, and took out three space rings from the diamond-shaped space and placed them in their hands.
“From today on, the three of you are my direct disciples. You can call me Master in the future. This is your indenture contract, which seems unnecessary now.” After saying that, he burned the indenture contract in front of them.
Lan Yi looked at her in disbelief: "Master... if you burn the indenture, aren't you afraid that we will run away?"
"What? Is it a disadvantage to be my disciple? Besides, why do you want to run away? I believe you won't do such a stupid thing." Xiao Liyue said with a smile.
The third disciple Xia Zhixue and the second disciple Luo Chuanhe said with determination: "The disciples will always follow Master. The disciples will never forget Master's kindness."
Xiao Liyue rubbed their heads and said, "Now that you call me Master, I will naturally treat you as my children. In the future, you just need to practice well and then protect the demon world with me. That will be the best reward for me."
"Yes, Master."
Looking at Lan Yi standing beside him, Xiao Liyue gently rubbed his head and said, "If you have any questions in your future cultivation, please come to your master. Lan Yi, you will be their senior brother in the future. We hope that the three of you can get along well in the future."
Lan Yi nodded and said, "Yes, Master."
Lan Yi felt the touch on his head, which made him feel tenderness again in five years.
