"It’s you. You finally returned!" They instantly kneeled down, which shocked everyone, including her.
"What are you doing?" It was her turn to be frightened by them.
"Thank you so much for giving our relatives and friends new lives." They said it gratefully.
"Hah????" She tilted her head in doubt.
So they began to tell her the story of four years ago.
The other slaves stared at her as if they were seeing a magical creature. No way; why didn’t they hear about this?
"Well, how are they doing now?" Her tense face relaxed as she used her spiritual power to lift them up.
"My friend has opened a medical shop now. He always wishes to see you."
"The friend of my dead father has now become the shopkeeper of an inn."
"My sister, who was not caught by them to sell as a slave, now opens her teashop in Zhiwu City. She hopes that as long as you return, she can show you her accomplishment."
They enthusiastically talked to her. The tense and awkward atmosphere became warm.
She patiently listened to them one by one and softly responded to them.
Until later, they realized a serious problem, so they asked her with confusion.
"Miss, what are you doing here in this dangerous place? What can we do for you?"
They would not be stupid to think that she wanted to abuse them. Who would be free to buy thousands of slaves for abuse?
They looked around and were surprised to see the fresh and beautiful scenery that was entirely different from the gloomy environment of the Poisonous Valley that they had known.
"I’ve eliminated all danger here. You can stay here peacefully in the future. All I want from you is absolute loyalty and power. Can you lend me your powers?" She used her spiritual power, spreading her voice to every corner of the valley.
"What can we do? We are all just normal slaves." They asked in doubt.
"I give you freedom to live, with one condition. Swear your loyalty to me! I only want your loyalty." She expressed her intention.
"Our loyalty?" They were getting more and more confused.
"I need to establish a strong force that is strong enough to help me. To do that, I will give you the resources to cultivate. You can become a cultivator. Those who don’t have spiritual roots can become my strong fighters."
"You will have places to stay, enough clothes to wear, and foods to eat. You’re free to do whatever you love, except betraying me."
Everyone instantly went uproar.
"I’m going to go to the higher continent in the future. This place is my starting point. I want to make the world a better place where everyone gets to live equally and free from slavery."
Everyone was shocked. What was she talking about? Did she mean what she said?
"You know, some people are born beautiful, but their sinister hearts and dirty souls are darker than any dark creature in this world."
"Your appearances don’t matter. What matters is how you treat yourself and others."
"You don’t have to care what they say to you in the future. Focus on your improvement and self-love; one day, they will accept you for who you are." She patted their shoulders one by one and gave them the purest smile.
Her clear eyes, which were fixing on them, showed how proud and happy she was right now.
"I’m happy to be reborn and get to see you guys closely. Although you were born different, you have your own unique charm."
Her sensitive six senses smelled the pure souls in them. That was why she bought them and decided to give them new lives.
Not only them, but these two thousand people were all specially chosen by her when she could feel their pure and kind souls.
Somehow, she was truly glad that she had this ability to see people’s souls. Her pair of eyes seemed to have magic to let her see the colors of their souls.
She smiled broadly as she saw the blue light inside most of them. A few of them had white light.
White represented humility and purity. If they possessed blue light, it meant that they were good people. And if they possessed white light, it meant that they were the kindest, and purest people in the world.
She didn’t know what they did, but she knew that these people never thought of hurting anyone.
"Remember, you are human beings, just like everyone else!" She looked at them seriously.
