In the desolate garden, where updates are the fastest, the night wind is like a splash of cold water, making everyone's body chilled to the bone. They gaze up at the sky in shock and unease, watching as a slender and elegant figure struggles incessantly, like a butterfly trapped in a spider's web, unable to escape its fate of being slaughtered at will.
Two men on the ground, one unconscious and the other clutching his chest in agony, spat out a mouthful of blood, and smiled bitterly.
Mu Xiao Damao Jin Dao sat in the room, his expression calm and composed, not angry but majestic. His tall and robust body contained a vigorous and fiery blood energy, emitting a thick and powerful aura that was as unshakeable as a high mountain, creating an oppressive atmosphere around him that was like a huge boulder weighing on everyone's heart, making it hard for anyone to breathe.
"The strong are revered, the weak are despised... Don't you understand this principle even now?" Mu Xiao's expression was cold and stern, his eyes flashing with a sharp, intimidating light. "In this villa district, personal will is not needed. I once gave you the opportunity to choose, but during my absence from the villa district, not only did you fail to grasp it well, but you also put on a superficial show for me, playing a low-level farce of duplicity behind my back. Do you think I'm an ignorant and weak child who can be toyed with at will, allowing you to flaunt your cunning schemes and superior airs?"
The scene in the garden was even more chilling, with the withered and yellowed flowers around seeming to have a layer of frost on them. The three owners of the villa district, who were at the center of the storm, had faces that were so tense they seemed to be dripping water, their surface calm but actually extremely uneasy, including the few ordinary new humans who also showed fear, only the man and woman next to Pang Xuejun remained quiet, but Mu Xiao's gaze swept over them with a hint of coldness, and instantly they too felt a shiver in their hearts.
"Shu Xue didn't do anything seriously wrong, I hope you can let her go."
"We admit that we didn't take good care of Mrs. An and Miss Han, but they both have enough strength to protect themselves, and even surpass us in physical ability. As for not interfering with the struggle between other owners and Mrs. An, it's also to maintain the peace of the villa district. Otherwise, if the variant beasts attack, we might not have the power to resist. Moreover, we didn't make things difficult for them, and we handed over the blood pearls as you ordered. Our mistake is not worth dying..."
Ding Qi slightly understood the key point, avoiding the previous struggle between An Rongru and those owners in the villa area. He also felt that Mu Xiao had no intention of killing, understanding that this was a lesson for Mu Xiao, or a warning shot, with the true intention being to make his own side's forces thoroughly surrender.
"Hmph!" Jian Huan Yao coldly snorted, neither confirming nor denying Ding Qi's words.
"If you've done something excessive, do you think you still have the nerve to stand in front of me?" Mu Xiao gave a cold glance, and Yun Xue Xue, who was struggling in mid-air with increasing weakness, rolled her eyes upwards. Her plump and pale face turned purplish-red, and her small mouth slightly protruded a bright red tongue, suffering to the point of near asphyxiation.
Suddenly, Nianyuanli threw out his strength, and the delicate body of Yunshu Xuefeng, full of beauty and elegance, drew a beautiful parabola in the air, landing behind Mu Xiao. At this moment, everyone heard his indifferent words.
"She was rude to me, so as punishment she will be my female slave from now on. If you don't obey, there's only one dead end road, if you betray me, no matter where you escape to, it's still a dead end road..."
The meeting started from the beginning to now, Shangguan Xingyun has not been too surprised, including Mu Xiaojiang giving her the greatest power in the villa area, she is also a calm and composed expression, only when she heard that Mu Xiaojiang humiliated Yunxue Snow as a female slave. Her eyebrows were slightly raised and then restored to calmness.
As for Zhou Xuan, Mu Xiao Yin, Zhao Yi Ling, Sun Xin Yue, Yan Shao Nan and others, they were a bit surprised to glance at Mu Xiao. They knew Mu Xiao's personality, not a strong man who is difficult to deal with, but didn't understand why Mu Xiao humiliated Yun Shu Xue like that. Perhaps in other people's eyes, Mu Xiao had taken a liking to Yun Shu Xue's beauty, but they didn't think so because the fact that they hadn't been forced by Mu Xiao to become his women already proved this point.
However, Yun Shu Xue is in the stage of a mature woman, with a plump and delicate figure, mature but not flashy, noble and elegant, with a hint of charm hidden beneath her fair and beautiful skin. Her bright eyes and white teeth, full and plump cheeks, make her look like a round and luminous pearl. Her small nose and snow-white skin... indeed, she is a beautiful woman with an air of nobility.
Many men present suspected that Mu Xiao had taken a fancy to Yun Shu Xue's beauty.
But Shangguan Xuanxin soon understood Mu Xiao's intention, humiliating Yunshu Xue was actually suppressing the owner's side of the momentum, making them subconsciously lose their former dignity in their hearts.
At this time, Yun Shu Xue, who had barely regained her composure in the rear, almost fainted with shame and anger when she heard that she had become a female slave. Now she could only control her rationality and not make any moves, otherwise she would definitely be killed. The only option was to wait until later to win over other people and escape from the villa's control. But if he had ulterior motives tonight, she could only fight to the death to preserve her chastity of many years.
The new human had a powerful mentality and a sense of superiority, especially some who were once high above, so Yun Shu Xue couldn't accept such a humble identity.
Just as Mu Xiao finished speaking, she gradually became cold all over her body, her face turned pale, and even those owners with ulterior motives felt a chill run down their spines, shivering involuntarily.
“…Don’t think that leaving the villa area will bring you peace, as long as you dare to betray, this life will only be one of unrest. This place will become my rising power, and those who betray me will be on my list of targets to eliminate. I am the only one on earth who knows how to train new humans, and the women by my side are the best examples - each one is stronger than you. In the future, more and more powerful individuals will be born here, so how can my power not rise? Those who escape for a time will not be able to escape forever, ultimately those who betray me will only have the fate of being hunted down. My power will grow larger, and the dark clouds hanging over your heads will only thicken. I'm not afraid to tell you that the world crisis has just begun, the darkest moment has yet to arrive, although I don't know if you can survive, but I know that leaving the villa area means losing my guidance and protection, death is always lurking around you... most importantly, you will lose the power I brought you.”
Whether Mu Xiao's last words were intimidating or not, the people in the villa district did not dare to confirm, but they only knew that Mu Xiao absolutely had the capital to rise, and Mu Xiao came back in a short time, leading a pair of car teams, and with Zhou Xuan and others' fierce fighting power, it was undoubtedly a fact in front of them, Mu Xiao indeed had a way to train new humans.
And that method is precisely the physical training technique that those masters did not know about.
Suddenly, the four ordinary new humans in the villa area looked at each other, bent down and knelt to Mu Xiao.
"Xiao Zhu, we are willing to pledge our loyalty!"
They had been oppressed by a group of owners in the villa area, but now the owner's side is almost sinking. Yesterday and today they received not small information from the new human fleet, including Mu Xiao's title in the fleet, and after understanding the various benefits of joining the fleet, they quickly unified their opinions. However, one of them was eager to show off and was knocked unconscious by Mu Xiao, but the four of them still seized this opportunity to pledge allegiance.
"Xiao Zhu, I...I also want to pledge allegiance..." The new human who was knocked unconscious by Mu Xiao not long ago had already woken up, but he pretended to be still asleep due to fear of being blamed. However, when he heard the statements from the other four people, not only did he not hold any grudges, but he also didn't want to miss this great opportunity and hastily scrambled to his feet to make a statement.
Mu Xiao didn't look at the five new humans for long, and only Shangguan Xuanxin made a simple gesture. Cheng Shuge was a rough man, but he had a meticulous mind and immediately called over the five new humans to join their team. Indirectly, this created an opposing side that seemed isolated and unfamiliar, as if they hadn't responded, they would lose everything.
"What about you?" Mu Xiao slowly picked up his teacup, speaking in a tone as if he were chatting idly, but in fact many people sensed the hidden killing intent.
"We are willing to be loyal." Pang Xuejun and a man and a woman stood up, compared to their three calm faces, they understood that some things were inevitable, now survival was their first priority, the second was to become incredibly strong.
They just wanted to kneel down and show their loyalty on the surface, but an invisible force restricted them from kneeling.
"You have nothing to blame, and secretly protected Ruo Yu and Han Yao, so you don't need to do this." Mu Xiao said calmly: "As long as you work hard from now on, I won't treat any of you unfairly."
"Yes, Lord Xiao."
The three of them were all down-to-earth people and simply replied with a sentence before sitting back in their original positions.
"I was already loyal, so I'll be loyal again."
Ding Qi's face slightly bitter, understanding the situation, can only kneel down on one knee.
Three times, four times the oppression, Mu Xiao has the complete power to crush them, every time is a ruthless trampling of their dignity, especially this time it's even clearer, at any moment they can be wiped out, Mu Xiao doesn't need their strength, but rather they need Mu Xiao's strength, because Mu Xiao has the ability to cultivate more powerful people, whether they exist or not has no impact on Mu Xiao.
However, Mu Xiao was not a bloodthirsty person and did not want to leave a brutal and inhumane impression on the minds of other new humans. They also didn't have any great faults, unless they were disloyal which would be a good excuse for killing them.
In the end, the three owners endured a sense of humiliation, knelt down and surrendered. Even if there were still dissenting opinions, they would be crushed by Mu Shuo's increasingly powerful strength...
"What about you?" Mu Xiao's calm voice sounded.
Only one person did not respond, and that was Yunshu Xue in the back.
Everyone's attention in the room was focused on the back, and every person present was a new human being, creating an enormous invisible pressure. At this moment, Yun Shu Xue felt that the air she breathed seemed to be filled with the taste of death, because she knew that if she uttered a single "no", death would descend upon her head, and if she agreed, it meant she would become the female slave of the man in front of her.
Yun Shu's body kept trembling, her lips were dry and white, she was so tense that the mud under her fingernails was deeply embedded, and she spoke with great difficulty.
"I... I... I... am willing... willing... to dedicate..."
After saying this sentence, she seemed to have been drained of all her strength, but the sudden sound of Mu Xiao's previous words made her tremble with fear.
"Then I'll give you..."
Huh?
Everyone was shocked, and they did not expect Mu Xiao to send Yun Shu Xue, this great beauty, to Xia. Instantly, the men in the car team emitted wolf-like gazes, and Aibao also slightly puffed out his chest, thinking that he had deeply won Mu Xiao's favor and would definitely get this beautiful woman as a reward.
Yun Shu Xue was so desperate about her bleak future that she looked like she had lost all the blood in her face. Just as Ding Qi was about to speak up to salvage the situation, after all, he himself bore some responsibility for Yun Shu Xue's misfortune.
However, Shangguan Xuanxin and Muxiao Yin, Zhou Xuan, Zhao Yiling... and other women were also somewhat dissatisfied. They felt that Mu Xiao was casually giving away the woman, and as women who were close to Mu Xiao, they had an uncomfortable feeling in their hearts. They would rather have Mu Xiao take in this woman than have him make such a move.
It was Mu Xiao's decision that exceeded everyone's expectations.
"I'll give you Yiling and Jingzhen, then you protect their lives until they become the new humans, after that, you can regain your freedom."
