Chapter 336 Su Yen was sold once again.
Inside Blue Crystal City, all the passersby looked at the incredibly handsome young man with shock on their faces.
This was the first time they saw such a handsome young man in the city.
Boss Hao, feeling the numerous gazes on his slave, was filled with pride. He was merely lucky to encounter an unlucky otherworlder who appeared at the space gate.
The space gate had been inactive for many decades, but who would have expected it to come to life?
He considered him such a nice present.
They arrived in front of a ten-story building, and Boss Hao came out of his carriage and sauntered into the building.
This was the only trade pavilion in the city where all the major trades took place.
With Boss Hao inside the Trade Pavilion, Su Yen and the slaves stood outside, enduring the various strange gazes directed at them.
Just then, a beautiful carriage appeared in front of the Trade Pavilion, and a young woman came out of the carriage.
When she set her eyes on Su Yen, she froze and couldn't avert her eyes.
"Young Miss…." her maid called in a low voice.
"I want that slave," she commanded.
Her maid, a middle-aged woman, looked in the direction of her Young Miss's gaze and was stunned to see Su Yen's astonishing beauty.
She recovered quickly and moved toward Su Yen. "Where is your owner?" she demanded coldly.
The toothless man looked at the Young Miss's maid and flashed her his best smile.
"Boss Hao is inside."
"You belong to Boss Hao?" she asked.
"Yes," he nodded with pride.
Ignoring the slave, the maid went inside the Trade Pavilion to meet with Boss Hao.
However, the Young Miss was too enchanted by Su Yen's beauty to wait to have him for herself.
She walked toward Su Yen and stopped a couple of feet from him.
"Would you like to be my slave? Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."
Slave trade was a common practice in Blue Crystal City. Those unfortunate enough to be transported to Blue Crystal had their cultivation suppressed and were used as slaves by the inhabitants of the city.
Su Yen looked at her without any change in his expression and asked, "Will you allow me to read?"
Hmm!
The girl was stunned; she had never heard any slave demand the right to read, but Su Yen's beauty was too good to let go.
Thus, she agreed readily.
"Fine. You can read as much as you want," she responded with a bright smile on her face.
She looked at Su Yen's smooth face and couldn't help but compare it to hers and was disappointed.
How could her skin be inferior to a man's? But when she remembered the man would belong to her, the sadness disappeared at once.
Just then, the maid came out with Boss Hao behind her.
"You're really my lucky charm," he said in a loud voice.
Quickly, the Young Miss bought Su Yen for one thousand Divine Stones.
With Su Yen being her slave, the Young Miss couldn't wait to bring her toy home.
Inside the carriage, Su Yen noticed the carriage traveling deeper into the city. He saw many outstanding things that broadened his horizons.
The most notable thing he saw was a floating palace in the distance.
"What's that?" Su Yen asked, pointing to the floating palace.
Looking in the direction he pointed at, the Young Miss smiled and responded, "That's the city lord's palace."
When he heard this, he did not have any change in his expression and slowly began to ask the Young Miss various questions.
It was then he learned that Blue Crystal was on a broken star, floating in space.
The people in the city were able to survive due to a powerful ancient formation protecting the city.
Hmm!
Su Yen creased his brow and did not bother to ask any more questions. To find out the secret about his mysterious appearance in Blue Crystal City and how to return, he knew he could not rush it.
After a couple of minutes, the carriage entered a beautiful district with fewer houses and people.
But the most notable thing about this district was each person that passed on the street had their slaves working behind them.
Some were full of warriors with bulging muscles, intimidating anyone they encountered.
While some were surrounded by enchanting ladies dressed in scanty clothes.
The outrageous ones even had their slaves behave like dogs, barking frequently.
Watching all the inhuman actions, Su Yen didn't show any change in his expression, but deep in his heart, he had already decided their fate.
"We're home," the Young Miss shouted and held Su Yen's hand, rushing out of the carriage.
Inside the mansion, many slaves with chains on their necks, hands, and legs stared at Su Yen. They were shocked for a moment before a look of pity appeared on their faces.
The Young Miss was too excited that she rushed to her parents' courtyard.
"Dad, Mom. See what I bought in the commoner area."
In the courtyard, an elderly couple was enjoying the gentle breeze while sipping nourishing tea.
"Li Mei…" her mother called with care and love.
"Mom, have you ever seen such a handsome slave before?" Li Mei said proudly.
The old couple looked at Su Yen in shock and wondered where in the world he came from.
They scrutinized him for a couple of seconds before a sigh escaped their mouths.
"Be careful around him and always make sure his chains are on his body at all times," her father warned.
"Yeah… Yeah…" Li Mei responded and dragged Su Yen out of the courtyard.
With Li Mei's departure, her mother looked at her husband and asked, "How long do you think this will last?"
"Three days at most," her husband responded.
Just like that, Su Yen exchanged hands as a slave and was taken as a pet.
He was given a small room that could barely contain a ten-year-old boy, but he did not complain.
Like that, he became a toy pet that the Young Miss played with for fun.
Even though he was subjected to the lowest treatment a human being could endure, he was not bothered as he read more books about the history of the world.
In a world where everyone had lost hope for a brighter future and their only source of pleasure was using their slaves in every inhumane way to fill the void in their hearts, the Barren Land Emperor was about to take action.
