Chapter 20: Xiao Lan
It was a new day, but it was nothing new to Xiao Lan. For her, it was yet another same day where she would be treated worse than how a slave should be treated.
The only new thing in the new day was that she was finally going to be sold in an Auction. It wasn't good news, but at least it was better than rotting in the slave cells of the slave organization.
But she didn't lose her hopes or give up on her life. Why would she? She was sure she would one day escape this hellhole and take her revenge. That revenge alone was fueling her will to survive.
'Duan Tian Long, just you wait. This Empress would survive in this small realm and come to kill you in the Divine Realm. You can enjoy your throne until I burn your seven generations with my flames.'
Xiao Lan's eyes burned with fiery red flames of determination and revenge. She couldn't wait to escape this hellhole and Cultivate to the top of this small realm she had found herself in. Only then would she be able to go back to the divine realm and exact her revenge.
Xiao Lan was a reincarnated soul from the Divine Realm. She was previously the Empress of the Divine Phoenix Empire, one of the strongest factions in the Divine Realm.
She was going to marry a man who was also her Senior Brother because they shared the same Master. They had spent hundreds of years together and loved each other.
Their clan was also in agreement with their marriage since her Senior Brother also belonged to a strong Faction. Unfortunately, the day of her wedding, which was meant to be her happiest day, turned into a day of pure despair and betrayal.
Her so-called lover had betrayed her on the day of their wedding and thrust a dagger, made especially to kill the most powerful phoenix, into her chest. The pain of that dagger was far less than the betrayal she had experienced.
The villagers were mostly mortals with only a few Cultivators among them, so they couldn't resist the mighty bandits and were killed. The bandits looted everything and took every woman they found alive.
Xiao Lan was fortunate that she reincarnated after the bandits had gone. When she woke up, all she saw was a burning village and the dead bodies of everyone she knew—her mother, her father, and everyone she loved.
She was influenced by the emotions of the previous soul of the body but still controlled herself and escaped the village before someone came to check on it.
But it seemed like her luck had run out when she reincarnated. She encountered some members of the Slave organization right outside the village who had come to take anyone left alive. Finding only the small girl alive, they took her in and made her a slave.
Xiao Lan was powerless to do anything since she hadn't even stepped on the path of cultivation. Her soul was also injured, so she couldn't even use soul attacks. All she could do was go with the flow and wait for the perfect time.
It's been years since she had been a slave in a slave organization, and for some reason, they weren't selling her. And she understood it, too. They wanted her to get into her twenties, and then they would sell her.
After all, although some people had strange fetishes and bought underage girls, virgin young girls in their twenties always sold for a high price. That's what they were hoping for.
And today was that day. Today, she would be sold and turned into nothing but a sex slave. However, she wasn't worried about that. She had recovered a major portion of her soul in all the years she had suffered in the Slave Organisation and was sure she would be able to escape.
However, she was waiting for a perfect time.
