Chapter 20

In the hall, there was a cacophony of noise.

A woman, dressed in luxurious attire and with a plump figure, stood with her hands on her hips, raging and complaining. As spittle flew from her mouth, the fat on her cheeks trembled rhythmically.

A preliminary estimate suggested that this woman weighed at least 200 pounds.

Although Dongfang Xiuzhe was surprised that this fat woman could be so overweight, his attention was drawn to the two petite figures standing behind her.

They were a pair of twin sisters, aged around twelve or thirteen, with short hair, delicate noses that resembled fine jade, and strikingly bright blue eyes. Their pale, tender faces displayed a resolute expression.

From their appearance alone, it was clear that these two little girls would grow up to be beautiful women.

Dongfang Xiuzhe, like any normal man, naturally liked beautiful women, but what attracted his attention was the aura and potential of these two little girls.

Although Dongfang Xiuzhe had not yet opened his "Yin-Yang Eye," his experience in recognizing people remained. He could see at a glance that these two little girls had excellent potential and, with proper cultivation, would surely become his trusted assistants in the future.

The thought was truly exciting!

The two little girls had chains around their ankles and handcuffs on their wrists, making it clear that they were also slaves here.

Chen Yue looked at her sister, Chen Xing, with a sorrowful expression. She felt some fear, as she could guess what their fate would be after being brought back here.

"Why does heaven treat us and our sister this way? What have we done wrong to be reduced to being slaves?"

Chen Yue wanted to comfort her trembling sister, Chen Xing, but she could not find the words, knowing that any words of comfort would be a lie.

She raised her head and glared at the fat woman who was making a scene. Chen Yue hated her to the core. This woman, who had bought her and her sister, had never treated them as human beings.

"Since my sister and I cannot change our fate as slaves, why can't heaven grant us a good master? Are we born to be playthings for others?"

Chen Yue was filled with hatred, but she was just a child with no power, unable to control her own destiny!

She longed to become strong, even if it meant paying with her life. As long as her sister could live like a human being, she would be willing.

As they say, sisters share the same heart. At the same time, her sister, Chen Xing, had similar thoughts.

"Where is your boss? Bring your boss here! I'm going to return these two today!"

The fat woman's loud voice was very penetrating. Even without trying to listen, Dongfang Xiuzhe could hear her clearly.

It turned out that these two little girls had already been bought, and now the buyer was demanding a return, with a very strong attitude!

"Very sorry, but our rule is 'no returns or exchanges once a slave is sold'!" A waiter was trying to persuade the domineering buyer.

"What rule? I don't care about your rules! I must get a refund today!"

As she spoke, the fat woman tugged at the chain in her hand, causing the two little girls behind her to stumble and fall in front of her.

"You two brats, you're getting bolder and bolder, daring to talk back to me. I'll return you today and see who will want you!"

Without regard for the presence of others, the fat woman began to punch and kick the two girls on the ground.

Dongfang Xiuzhe frowned and could not help but step forward.

The two girls hugged each other, remaining silent in the face of the fat woman's kicks, their eyes showing not fear but defiance!

I really like these two little girls more and more!

"This fat woman is really stupid. To have such good twin sisters and still want to return them, I wonder what she's thinking."

A faint smile appeared on his lips. Dongfang Xiuzhe thought, "This is good. Since you don't recognize their value, I'll take them!"

I'm just lacking some trustworthy assistants, and these two sisters will be perfect!

A grand and long-term plan began to take shape in Dongfang Xiuzhe's mind, and he could call it the "Loli Cultivation Plan"!

"Master, where are you going?" The guard, Zhao Hu, grabbed Dongfang Xiuzhe, thinking, "Little Master, just let me have some peace."

He naturally saw through Dongfang Xiuzhe's intentions.

"Of course, I'm going to take a look!" Dongfang Xiuzhe gave a strange smile.

With a flick of his hand, he broke free from Zhao Hu's grip and strode forward.

Zhao Hu stared at his hand, puzzled as to where the little master got such strength.

By the time he reacted, Dongfang Xiuzhe was already in front of the fat woman.

At that moment, both sides were still arguing over the issue of "return" and "no return." Just as the situation was about to escalate into a conflict, a child's voice suddenly rang out.

"Big sister, sell them to me, I'll take them!" Dongfang Xiuzhe smiled.

Having frequented the palace, Dongfang Xiuzhe naturally knew what kind of words women liked to hear.

The fat woman's argumentative voice abruptly stopped, and she looked down at the child who was not even as tall as her thigh.

"This is not an ordinary child!" She came to this conclusion almost instantly.

Despite her rough and violent behavior, she was skilled at reading people. From the expression of the guard beside Dongfang Xiuzhe, she became even more convinced of her conclusion.

When she learned that this child was the son of the great general, Dongfang Long, her fleshy face immediately broke into a smile.

After a round of insincere conversation, Dongfang Xiuzhe said some insincere flattering words, making the fat woman laugh uncontrollably. He eventually bought the two twin sisters smoothly.

"Little boy, these two brats are very disobedient and have hard bones. When you get home, you'll need to discipline them well. They won't listen unless you beat them hard!" The fat woman, having received the money, happily shared her experience.

Dongfang Xiuzhe, being an expert in disciplining subordinates, certainly did not need her advice!

Looking at the two bewildered twin sisters, Dongfang Xiuzhe smiled on the outside and felt pleased inside.

These two little girls have good potential. Once trained, I can teach them some Yin-Yang and Five Elements techniques and have them assist me!

My future cultivation days will no longer be so boring!

"Which one of you is the older sister?"

Outside the slave market, Dongfang Xiuzhe stopped and looked seriously at the twin sisters.

"…Me."

Although hesitant, Chen Yue moved slightly, her voice as light as a breeze.

Nodding in satisfaction, Dongfang Xiuzhe then asked for their names.

Slaves, by rule, should not have names. Even if they had names before, they had to be abandoned and identified by numbers, unless given a name by their master.

However, perhaps because Dongfang Xiuzhe was a child and there were fewer concerns, or perhaps because he had just saved the two sisters from a dire situation, they felt a sense of goodwill towards him and revealed their original names.

The older sister was named "Chen Yue," and the younger sister was named "Chen Xing"!

From that day on, the fate of Chen Yue and Chen Xing took a turn. Neither of them could have imagined that this little master, who was seven or eight years younger than them, would bring such a great shock to the entire Battle Continent.

They also could not have imagined that, after becoming slaves, they would one day become formidable experts feared by many.

The chains of fate had already bound them tightly to Dongfang Xiuzhe!

Ignoring the guards' advice, Dongfang Xiuzhe removed the chains and shackles from Chen Yue and Chen Xing, and then returned home with a joyful face…
