7. Can Finally Eat Meat

Xie He looked at the greedy, repulsive expressions on the humans’ faces and listened to those vulgar shouts…. He bit down on his lips harshly, anger and despair filling his eyes….

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Because the cage was tiny, he could only curl up inside there, revealing the curvature of his slender spine. His blond hair cascaded down, half covering his face. Even if his face was only faintly discernible, it still caused the humans to madly bid non-stop.

Very soon, the bid rose to over sixty million. After some time, the auctioneer saw that the bids were coming in slower than before so he shouted, “This is a seldom seen, precious elf that only appears once every hundreds of years. We have inspected many valuable resources and data to determine that this elf possibly holds a noble identity amongst the Elves! With just one glance, you’re sure to become infatuated…. Ladies and gentlemen, not only can you enjoy his body if you have this beautiful elf as your pet, he will also be a symbol to your own noble status! You absolutely cannot miss this opportunity! CfcGFg

As he said this, he signalled for several big, sturdy-looking men to come over. One of the men immediately came and grabbed the chain attached to the cage, pulling it outwards.

The chain was connected to Xie He’s collar. When it was pulled, Xie He moved with it a bit. But very quickly, Xie He grabbed hold of the cage’s bars and withstood the pull! He wasn’t willing to be shown off to these humans as a product. He did everything he could to maintain the last vestiges of his pride!

However, his body was still weak. That man was a human warrior specially hired by the auction. He was an expert in subduing disobedient slaves and pets. His strength was incredible. The skin on the palms of Xie He’s hands broke from the friction as he was dragged forward bit by bit. He felt like his neck was about to snap. In the end, he was still displayed n front of the humans. His face ended up stuck tightly against the side of the cage, completely revealed.

The icy metal bars pressed tightly against his cheek. Xie He had a direct view of the immense hall. Everyone stared at him, unable to look away. It was like they were trying to swallow him whole with their gazes. Intense shame and pain reddened Xie He’s eyes. There was a layer of mist over his emerald eyes and his golden eyelashes fluttered….

However, it didn’t evoke any pity from any of the humans. Instead, it made them feel even more obsessed!

The auctioneer walked to the front of the cage and said with an exaggerated tone, “Everyone, take a careful look. Are you willing to miss a beautiful elf like this? I’ve worked here for several decades but it’s the first time I’ve seen such a perfect creature. He’s simply the darling of God. It can’t be that you don’t want to possess him?!”

As he spoke, he bent down and grabbed Xie He’s ankles. He pulled open the bottom of Xie He’s robes, revealing the other’s calves. Those calves had a graceful outline and appearance and were well-proportioned. Even though he was male, they weren’t stocky at all. They were still exquisite, like a flawless sculpture. It was both beautiful and powerful at the same time.

Xie He was so angry his whole body trembled. He wanted to shrink back but the human warrior noticed and immediately pulled the chain taut so that Xie He had no choice but to keep his body on display for the humans to appreciate. The chain left deep red marks on his fair skin…. WRlaDz

The auctioneer smiled. “I apologize profoundly but we can only let everyone see this much. The rest can only be enjoyed by his master.”

After this episode, the bids in the auction hall once again became enthusiastic. Very soon, the price reached over eighty million.

The auctioneer was very excited. In all his time working, this was the first time he was able to sell such an extravagantly priced item. He was extremely moved, “Eighty million going once, going twice, and….”

Just as he was about to yell ‘sold’, someone from a private room on the second level yelled, “One hundred million.” 7jBvQE

The auctioneer looked over, excited. He immediately knew that this was the private room of the Dahl City Lord. The City Lord was the richest and most influential person in the city. Indeed, even he had been tempted!

“One hundred million, going once, going twice, sold!” Even until the end of the auctioneer’s speech, no one continued to bid. The auctioneer proclaimed excitedly, “The item with the highest winning bid in the history of our auction hall has appeared. A beautiful elf worth one hundred million—he now belongs to His Excellency the City Lord! “

Everything had been settled. Everyone looked at Xie He with avaricious gazes that said they really were reluctant to give up on him. From now on, he was a being that would be owned by another.

The sturdy man let go of the chain and Xie He fell back suddenly. He quickly curled up, avoiding the gazes of the humans. UdiTxc

The cage was once again covered by the black cloth.

Xie He felt himself get moved onto a carriage. The journey was bumpy.

【444：……】He decided to go back to the System Space to inspect his own data. He felt like he’d been infected by some virus.

【Xie He：Oh, I can’t wait to see Saj-Saj’s new disguise.】

The carriage ride was approximately one hour long. Xie He felt his cage get lifted again. In the end, he was placed in some room.

After some time, he heard faint footsteps approach, neither fast or slow. Very soon, the footsteps stopped. The black cloth was lifted. Xie He gnashed his teeth, gaze fixed on the man before him. It was a treacherous looking middle-aged man, the Dahl City Lord, the man who had bought him. lPUtoz

The man had a smile on. There was dark, deep desire hidden in his eyes. He slowly reached out, caressing Xie He’s sleek calves….

Xie He immediately dodged to the other side of the cage, doing his best to evade the man’s touch. His chains clanged against the cage.

The man crooked an eyebrow and suddenly grabbed the chain, slowly pulling Xie He over.

He gazed into the elf’s furious eyes and caressed his pale face. He said with a smile, “As a pet, you must first learn how to obey your master.” T9I xW

Xie He used all his power to cause the man’s chest to cave in! He saw the man flash a look of disbelief as he died. Xie He reached down and felt up the man’s body, very quickly finding a key. He released himself from his shackles. XLaqlG

Xie He turned around to leave. However, as soon as he opened the door, his expression changed suddenly.

The man stood at the door, beaming at him. He said, “Where are you going?”

Xie He’s pupils suddenly constricted. He turned to look back into the room. The corpse just now had disappeared into thin air. If he hadn’t been certain he had killed a filthy human, he would have thought this was all a nightmare.

Xie He had no time to think. He sent a punch in the man’s direction. But this time, the extremely weak looking human had suddenly become extremely strong! He grabbed Xie He’s wrist, twisting it until Xie He fell to the ground. He whispered into Xie He’s ears, “Really disobedient….” LwfIUh

When Xie He heard this familiar deep voice, the colour retreated from his face. “It’s you….”

The man’s face changed slowly. In the end, his true face was revealed.

He pressed down against Xie He’s body, kissing him softly on the lips and chuckled. “From now on, I’m your master.”

Despair floated up in Xie He’s eyes. This was a being he could not defy. He had thought that he had escaped, but in the end, his hope had been mercilessly shattered. His robes were pulled apart and his body was once again cruelly invaded by this fiend. Tears seeped out of his eyes. nTZuJX

Saj caressed the elf beneath him tenderly, lapping at the tears in the corner of his eyes. He smiled. “Why are you crying? Aren’t you happy? Your body should be very happy…this is something to rejoice, why are you crying…?”

Xie He grit his teeth and shut his eyes tightly. His eyelashes quivered. From then on, silence was his only method of resistance.

………………………………

Saj held Xie He in his arms and gazed at him gently. He kissed the other’s ears. 19KGze

Xie He’s eyes were both clouded. He shuddered when the most sensitive part of him—his ears—were touched. He then felt himself get clothed in a gown. Xie He then carried him out.

Xie He let Saj hold him, not moving in the slightest, and shut his eyes.

Saj walked out to an empty, open area. Black fog carried them through the night sky. Very soon, they ended up above a remote house. Saj slowly descended and carried Xie He inside. The people inside seemed unable to see them, allowing Saj to walk in as if no one was around.

In the end, Saj carried Xie He into a room. He chuckled into Xie He’s ears. “Open your eyes and see, see how ugly humankind is…. Selling you was not enough to satisfy them….” tdbu07

A cacophony of noise sounded in Xie He’s ears. He finally couldn’t bear it any longer and opened his eyes. What he saw was the merchant party that had betrayed him after he had saved them.

Jonathon, Lina and the other humans were arguing inside the room.

There was a sneer on Jonathon’s face. He said to the other humans, “It was because of my daughter Lina that we were able to capture that elf. Without her, that cautious elf would not have been duped. Therefore, we should get the majority of the money! The auction takes ten percent. That means there’s ninety million left. Eighty million is ours. There’s ten million left to divide amongst you all. This is already extremely benevolent of us.”

A large man viciously slammed his hands against the table. He looked very fierce-looking and his gaze was sinister. “Jonathon, without our escort, your family would have been eaten by wild beasts. In order to protect you, we lost many of our brethren. Right now, you’re only going to give us ten million?” Yb k1E

Lina couldn’t help but chime in. Her originally pretty and delicate face now had on a cold smile. It was exceptionally sharp. “Uncle Hank, when Father hired you to protect us, your asking price was a hundred thousand, ah. A hundred thousand is enough for you all to risk your lives in escorting us. Protecting us is your duty. We don’t have to give you any of the money. And yet you still want to demand more from us?”

Hank gave Lina a cold look. “Miss, your appetite ain’t small. Indeed, that elf only stayed because of you. In the end, he fell for your scene. You’re ruthless. Don’t you feel guilty?”

Lina smiled proudly, “If I’m not ruthless, how can I earn money? Can a good conscience earn money?”

Jonathon lost his patience and said, “Ten million, take it or leave it. We will part ways here.” kXyW 8

Hank flashed a cold smile, “Such a big sum of money, everyone should get a portion. There’s so many of us. We also have our own families. Give us fifty million and we’ll leave without another word. Otherwise, hehe….”

Jonathon’s expression changed, “Fifty million, don’t act so unrestrained.”

Lina looked at them with a look of bitter resentment. Forget fifty million, they didn’t even want to give them ten million. This money was earned by her. If she killed them, the money would all be hers! Hehe, she had poisoned Hank and his group’s water beforehand. It should take effect soon.

Hank was still negotiating with Jonathon when he suddenly felt unwell in the stomach. He had actually been very cautious. He knew that Jonathon and his family were not good-natured. He didn’t think that he would fall for a trap! This sinister, vicious girl. Not only did she want the money, she also wanted his life! MaWrQl

Hank and his group were furious. Today, if they were to kill these people, the money would be theirs. What need did they have to continue speaking in circles with them? He suddenly grabbed the sword by his side and slashed at Jonathon!

Jonathon didn’t think that Hank would suddenly attack. He couldn’t dodge in time and his arm was slashed off!

Both sides began a skirmish!

Lina shrieked and wanted to escape. She didn’t expect for Hank to persevere for so long. That poison should be very powerful. How did they have the strength to attack them?! However, she couldn’t escape. A soldier stabbed a sword into her back and she fell to the ground. Soon after, she felt an excruciating pain in her legs. Hank had chopped off her legs from the knees down! hSKHov

Lina stared at her bloody legs and shrieked as if she had gone insane, “Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, go to hell ah, ah, ah!”

There was a strange smile on Hank’s face, “The one that should go to hell is you.”

He also chopped off Lina’s hands and watched her bleed out onto the ground. He let her howl miserably for a long time before beheading her. At this time, the entire room had turned into a bloody, hellish scene of slaughter. Dismembered limbs were strewn about. Hank was the last one standing. He slowly walked over to the bag of money and gazed at the sack, obsessed. However, before he could pick it up, he fell to the ground as the poison flared. He had stopped breathing.

In the end, all that was left was a deathly stillness in the room. bCzcQe

Xie He watched this happen, never averting his eyes. He stared at the corpses of the people who had killed each other….He looked at the money that had not been taken by anyone. Sorrow appeared in his eyes….

This was something that they were willing to throw away their conscience for. In the end, no one got it.

Xie He slowly turned his head and said to Saj, “You did something, didn’t you?”

He had ingested Lina’s drugs before. It was extremely potent. Even he had succumbed to the drugs in an instant. If she wanted to kill someone, she would have certainly used an even stronger drug. It would have been impossible for her to be unable to deal with a trifling human such as Hank. And yet, Hank had survived until everyone else had died. RL4QK2

The corner of Saj’s lips rose, “I didn’t manipulate them. I just benevolently delayed the time in which the poison would come into effect. If they died right away, how could we see such an interesting scene?”

Xie He parted his lips, voice hoarse, “Interesting…?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Saj smiled. “Yes, ah. Isn’t it interesting? The human heart is so complex. They have so many desires. You just have to tempt them a bit and they will no longer be able to control the darkness and wickedness inside of their hearts. They were born to exist in the darkness.”

Xie He closed his eyes, exhausted. He spoke slowly, “That is because you tempted them. Perhaps there is darkness within their hearts and perhaps some humans are unworthy of sympathy…but I still believe that there still exists people who would not be tempted. There are still kindhearted people in this world. The wicked do not speak on this world’s behalf. All you see is the evil, because you can only see the evil….” L0zy1s

Saj looked at Xie He profoundly. He couldn’t stop himself from kissing the other again. “Oh…so even if you’ve been treated like this, you’re still willing to believe in the good of humankind?”

I really want to know for how long you will persist….

………………………………

Because Xie He had been exhausted, he had fainted on the way back while carried by Saj. When he woke up, he found himself in a giant golden birdcage. y80dpu

The birdcage sat beneath a giant tree. This was probably a courtyard. He was completely nude, with only sturdy and gorgeous golden mithril shackles bound to him. The chains were attached to a corner of the birdcage. To one corner of the birdcage lay a soft mat. He could rest there.

Xie He tried to break free but gave up soon afterwards. This extremely sturdy cage was obviously tailored for him.

He was trapped in a cage like a pet. He had lost his freedom. It made him feel terribly anguished and ashamed to be watched at any time. He could only curl up, as if it would reduce his embarrassment.

When the sun set, Saj came over carrying a tray of delicacies. They were all specialties of Dahl City. There was marinated meat cooked with a secret recipe, a juicy, plump, whole roast duck, as well as meats Xie He didn’t recognize. It all looked sumptuous. 9GJwgO

However, in Xie He’s eyes, it was cruelty and wickedness. These were all lives that had been slaughtered. He turned his head away coldly.

Saj placed the food before him and chuckled alluringly, “Are you not hungry?”

Xie He didn’t pay him any mind. He would never eat such things!

Saj didn’t force Xie He to eat. He only tugged him over with the chains and violated him there in the cage. Xie He was very weak from having starved for a long period of time. Moreover, he was never Saj’s match to start with. His resistance was feeble and laughable…. But as long as he had any strength left, he would not give up on resisting…. BMlob8

The next morning, when Xie He awoke, Saj had already left. The food had also been carted away. His whole body ached. On the ground were a few ripe fruits. They had probably fallen from the tree. He picked a couple to eat and felt a bit better.

Saj continued to come everyday. Each time, he brought with him different delicacies. These foods were made of many different kinds of ingredients, but they shared one thing in common: all of it included meat.

However, no matter how hungry Xie He got, he would never take a bite. He wasn’t even willing to take a glance.

A few days passed like this. Saj stopped bringing food. He understood that the elf would rather starve to death than to eat meat. H8UdO3

Today, Saj once again did Xie He and then gathered him in his arms. He gazed tenderly at the beautiful elf in his embrace.

He really made people obsessed. This was the first time Saj had wasted so much time on something. Moreover, he wasn’t bored at all. Instead, he found himself growing fonder of the other as time went on. Even when he wasn’t by his side, all Saj thought about was him.

Saj caressed the features on Xie He’s slumbering face. My beautiful elf….

There will be a day in which you completely belong to me. FQUVpr

【Ding, the target Saj’s Favourability Value +5. The current Favourability Value is 75.】

When Xie He woke up, Saj had already left. He sighed and lied on the ground, bored out of his mind.

【Xie He：This is torture for my mind and body. I can’t hold on for much longer. Sigh.JPG】

【444：Σ( ° △°|||)︴Host dada, are you OK?】What to do? This is the first time Host dada has said he can’t hold on any longer! Wuwuwuwu, Saj is too terrible! b1meck

【Xie He：Every day, I can only look and not eat those delicious foods. It’s like displaying a beautiful naked woman in front of a thirsty man, telling him he can look but not touch. How cruel…. No, not being able to eat meat is countless times more cruel.】

【444：……】

【Xie He：The cruellest part is that you can’t detect Saj which means I can’t eat on my own. :)】

【444：QAQ】Yingyingying, it’s like he can feel the anger beneath Host dada’s smile…so scawy... he’s not even using Saj’s nickname anymore…. sCA6QM

【Xie He：As the God of Darkness, he can’t even do a simple thing like make me eat meat. This is going to make me look down on him. Hehe.】

【444：……】

Xie He hadn’t eaten meat for a long time. Furthermore, he hadn’t eaten his fill for a long time. Although he had a full sex life, he still felt like his pleasure had decreased. Every day, his head would droop down and he would look increasingly decrepit. He no longer used emojis to express his misery.

Finally, one day, Saj came over, holding some robes for Xie He to wear. He then attached a chain to Xie He’s collar and pulled him out. He smiled. “I’ve got a delightful surprise for you today.” DxURHw

This was the first time Xie He left the birdcage. He was pulled into a carriage by Saj. His weak resistance was easily subdued.

The carriage stopped before an enormous building. Xie He followed Saj into a private room on the second floor. When he looked down, his expression changed. This was the auction hall he had been held in last time. He looked at Saj questioningly and with vigilance. He didn’t understand why he had been brought here.

Saj looked free and at ease the whole time, as if he had just come here to participate in the auction. He placed bids when he saw interesting toys. Amongst them was an exquisite emerald tool that had been crafted by a great human craftsman. It was said to be made for some influential bigwigs for the sake of educating their male pets. Saj thought that the emerald was very close in colour to Xie He’s eyes. He spent a lot of money to buy it. He then pulled Xie He towards him, making him sit in his lap. He whispered into Xie He’s ear, “I’ll use it on you when we get back. It will definitely look really good and suit you well.”

Xie He had also seen it. When he heard this, his face paled. His body shook from fear and anger. YcX74k

To Xie He, this auction was torture. After a long time, the auction once again reached its final leg. It was the same auctioneer. The auctioneer said excitedly, “This time’s final item is once again a rare elf! The friends who didn’t manage to buy last time, you must not miss this opportunity!”

As he said this, people carried a cage over. Inside the cage was a young, silver-haired female elf. She had beautiful hazel eyes and was shackled. She cowered in the corner like a frightened little rabbit.

Xie He stared down in disbelief. His fists were clenched tight. That was Amakiir!

He was preoccupied with his shock when Saj wrapped an arm around his waist and slowly said, “What a loyal young lady. After you were expelled, after they all abandoned you and left, only this little girl believed in you. She suffered on your behalf and secretly slipped out of the group to find you…. It’s truly a pity that she was captured before finding you. A beautiful, young female elf like her would be even more popular than you in the human world. She will probably break the record you set…. With a bit of education, she would definitely be greatly doted on by some bigshot.” gdYhrv

Terrible pain flooded Xie He’s eyes when he heard this….His lips trembled, “No…no….”

Saj leaned back on his chair and said dully, “Do you feel pained and upset? This is all your fault. Otherwise, she would have been protected by the Elves and would have been able to safely settle into a new life. She would not have encountered such difficulties. It is because she couldn’t let go of you that she ended up in such a predicament…what a pity.”

Xie He looked down, anguished. He watched as the girl was looked at with greedy eyes, experiencing the same things he had…. He had personally undergone that suffering, and he now had to watch a member of his clan who trusted and loved him undergo the same kind of suffering….

He could foresee what kind of treatment she would suffer if she were to be sold. A life worse than death, why must she suffer…? Why…? KMqnHb

And there was nothing he could do. This pain made it difficult for him to breath. He wanted to die.

At this moment, Saj suddenly said, “Do you want to help her? It’s not impossible.”

Xie He whipped his head around, eyes fixed on Saj.

Saj hooked up a corner of his lips, an indecipherable smile on his lips. His pupils were pitch black, dark as an abyss. He laughed in a low voice, “Your gods have already abandoned you, but I am still here. Beg for my care. I will satisfy your wishes.” X8754Y

Xie He understood at once. He didn’t think of imploring Saj, nor did he think Saj would help him. Yet at this moment…even if it were the words of this fiend, he had no choice but to believe them. Because he had no other choices.

This was the nearly omnipotent God of Darkness. He obviously could save Amakiir. This was as easy as lifting a finger for him. As long as he could save Amakiir, Xie He was willing to pay any price….

Xie He’s eyes were so red it looked like blood would leak out at any moment. In the end, he slowly sank down to his knees and kissed the instep of Saj’s foot. His voice trembled, “Please save her.”

Saj smiled. He picked up a tray from the desk. On the tray was delicious roasted meat, with oil dripping from it. The aroma permeated the whole room. ygkxrF

He placed the roast meat in front of Xie He and said, “Eat.”

【Xie He：Today is indeed a delightful surprise. 🙂 】
