Humanity’s Great Sage – Chapter 1011: Good Job Recuriting this Blood Slave
Lu Ye discovered that the one living in this cave dwelling was not a Blood Race member, but a Human, and a reasonably attractive woman at that.
The woman looked a bit weak, her face slightly pale, but what caught Lu Ye’s attention wasn’t her complexion, but her belly.
This woman was heavily pregnant.
Meeting Lu Ye’s gaze, the woman was somewhat panicked and hurriedly shrank into a corner to hide.
Lu Ye frowned, but he had no intention of investigating further for the time being, and continued walking.
However, he soon noticed something was off. The cave dwellings here were mostly inhabited by pregnant women. Along the way, he had seen at least seven or eight of such women.
There were also some who were not pregnant, but they all hid in their cave dwellings, not daring to show their faces.
Without exception, these women were all somewhat attractive.
Lu Ye vaguely formed a speculation in his heart, feeling heavy.
In Bright Moon Cave, there were not only Human women, but also some men. However, there were not many of them, and they were all abducted by the Blood Race to serve them. These Humans were not even Blood Slaves; if any Blood Race member was injured or simply felt like it, they could casually grab them and drink their blood.
Going deeper, the passageways became like a maze. Zhang Julai was familiar with the layout and led Lu Ye and Dao Thirteen in a certain direction. They soon arrived at his residence.
This place was undoubtedly much more spacious than where the pregnant women lived outside, and the environment was also better. The entrance was blocked by a door and covered by a ward.
Upon returning here, Zhang Julai’s tense expression finally relaxed. He bowed to Lu Ye. “Sir, this is where I live and cultivate.”
He didn’t know how to address Lu Ye either. Originally, he was going to call him master, but Lu Ye disdained the title, so he could only call him sir.
Lu Ye sat down and asked with a dark expression, “What’s going on with those pregnant women outside?”
Zhang Julai replied, “They were all brought back from nearby villages to provide pleasure for our clansmen. In addition, they are also surrogate mothers.”
Lu Ye was currently examining the memories of the dead Blood Race member and found that it was indeed as Zhang Julai said, and also what he had expected.
These women were all abducted for the Blood Race to enjoy. Although the physical stature of the Blood Race was generally taller than that of Humans, their physical structures were almost identical. Moreover, the aesthetics of the Blood Race seemed to lean more towards Humans; beautiful Human women were also considered beautiful in their eyes.
Consequently, the men of the Blood Race preferred Human women, and they actually did not harbor much desire for females of their own kind.
In the midst of indulgence and lust, it was inevitable that Human women would become pregnant.
Perhaps because the bloodline of the Blood Race was stronger, the babies conceived from the union of the two races were, without exception, all Blood Race. Therefore, the Blood Race had always treated Humans as a breeding ground for their kin. This was also the reason why many Humans lived in the territories under the jurisdiction of every Blood Race cave.
To the Blood Race, Humans were not simply property; they also served the purpose of continuing their race. It could be said that ninety percent of the Blood Race in the Blood Refining Boundary today were born from Humans.
And once these Blood Race babies were born, they would be sent to a special place to be raised together.
This was also the reason why the Blood Race in the Blood Refining Boundary did not live in families. They had no families to speak of at all. Most Blood Race members didn’t even know who their parents were, so how could they live as families?
Zhang Julai’s previous outing was because a woman in Bright Moon Cave had given birth to a Blood Race baby, and he was responsible for taking that baby out.
Listening to Zhang Julai’s words and examining the memories of that dead Blood Race member, Lu Ye’s fists clenched and unclenched, unclenched and clenched.
As if sensing Lu Ye’s displeasure, Zhang Julai didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.
The room was completely silent, save for Dao Thirteen, who foolishly looked left and right.
A series of knocks on the door broke the silence, sounding extremely abrupt. Zhang Julai was startled and hurriedly looked at Lu Ye.
Lu Ye tilted his head.
Zhang Julai opened the door. Outside stood a Blood Race member, who looked very young. His cultivation was probably not high; he was likely one of the few Spirit Creek Realm Blood Race members here. He placed a hand over his chest and bowed to Zhang Julai before speaking. “The Cave Master wants you to go over.”
Zhang Julai nodded. “I’ll go right away.”
The Blood Race member’s eyes peered past Zhang Julai into the room and added, “The Cave Master heard you newly acquired two Blood Slaves, and told you to bring them along.”
A glint flashed across Zhang Julai’s eyes, and he grunted sullenly in response.
Only then did the Blood Race member leave.
Closing the door, Zhang Julai looked at Lu Ye. “Sir, that woman probably harbors no good intentions.” As he said this, he glanced at Dao Thirteen, appearing somewhat hesitant.
“How so?” Lu Ye asked.
Zhang Julai looked slightly embarrassed. “She has probably taken a fancy to this one.”
When it came to aesthetics, Blood Race men preferred Human women. However, Blood Race women were not like this; most of them still preferred to unite with men of their own race. Of course, there were exceptions.
The master of Bright Moon Cave, Sun Miaozhu, was one such Blood Race member.
She always had strong Human men abducted from various villages by her side to relieve her loneliness. When they were no longer pleasing to use, she would turn those Human men into blood food to improve her own cultivation.
Anyway, to her, Humans were just livestock to be taken from at will, and no one dared to resist her.
Someone like Dao Thirteen, with a solid build and abundant vitality, would naturally attract Sun Miaozhu’s interest. He didn’t know which loose-lipped Blood Race member had reported Dao Thirteen’s existence to Sun Miaozhu right after they returned.
Zhang Julai was naturally unfazed by this, but now that he was Lu Ye’s soul slave, he had to consider Lu Ye’s feelings in all aspects.
Moreover, he could also tell that Lu Ye accompanying him to Bright Moon Cave this time was clearly not for a tour, but to do something big!
As for what big thing he was going to do, Zhang Julai was no fool, so he could naturally guess.
He felt apprehensive and somewhat nervous for a moment.
Lu Ye turned to look at Dao Thirteen and chuckled softly. “Since she’s taken a fancy to him, then let’s go and meet her.”
Zhang Julai immediately turned and led the way.
The group walked deeper into the cave until they stopped in a spacious hall. Faintly, some decadent sounds could be heard. Lu Ye looked up and saw a Blood Race woman reclining on a huge stone bed over there. Her excessively slender figure swayed seductively in the dim light. There were also two muscular Human youths on the stone bed; one was kneeling by her feet, massaging her legs, while the other knelt behind her, pounding her shoulders.
The clothes on both the Blood Race woman and the Human men were pitifully scant, making it an eyesore.
This Blood Race woman was clearly the master of Bright Moon Cave, Sun Miaozhu.
Zhang Julai led Lu Ye and Dao Thirteen forward, saluting with the etiquette of the Blood Race. “Cave Master.”
Sun Miaozhu ignored him; her gaze was fixed only on Dao Thirteen beside him. A smile emerged on her lips. She raised a hand and beckoned to Dao Thirteen. “You, come here.”
Dao Thirteen remained unmoving.
It wasn’t until Lu Ye kicked him that he somewhat reluctantly walked forward and stood by the stone bed.
Sun Miaozhu sized up Dao Thirteen from top to bottom, her interest clearly growing stronger. She waved her hand, and the two Human youths serving her immediately retreated to the side.
Slowly getting up, Sun Miaozhu stood in front of Dao Thirteen.
Although Dao Thirteen was a Body-tempering Cultivator, he wasn’t tall; he was just solidly built. When the two figures were compared, Dao Thirteen only reached Sun Miaozhu’s chest.
She reached out a hand and gently stroked Dao Thirteen’s firm chest. Her breathing suddenly quickened. She pinched Dao Thirteen’s chin, tilting his head slightly upward.
After examining him carefully for a while, Sun Miaozhu giggled coyly. “Zhang Julai, you did a good job acquiring this Blood Slave. He’s mine from now on.”
Zhang Julai replied respectfully, “Since the Cave Master has spoken, there is naturally no problem.”
“You guys can leave,” Sun Miaozhu waved her hand, not glancing at Lu Ye from start to finish.
Lu Ye turned and left, and Zhang Julai hurriedly followed.
Walking outside, Lu Ye casually closed the door and stood quietly.
Immediately after, Sun Miaozhu’s exclamation could be heard from inside. “What are you doing? Let go!”
Then came muffled groans, followed by loud thuds as if something heavy was smashing against the ground. Sun Miaozhu’s shrill screams rang out, and Spiritual Power surged within, but was quickly snuffed out.
Lu Ye waited silently for a moment until the commotion inside had completely subsided, before opening the door again and walking in.
Zhang Julai hurriedly followed, looked up, and his pupils shrank.
By the stone bed, Dao Thirteen stood quietly, while a slender figure lay on the ground. Who else could it be but Sun Miaozhu? It was just that the Blood Race woman, who was smiling coyly just a moment ago, had now been reduced to a pile of mangled flesh.
He didn’t know what Dao Thirteen had done to her, but Sun Miaozhu’s corpse was broken into several pieces. There were obvious indentations on her chest and head, the shape suggesting they were smashed by fists.
Blood flowed freely beside the stone bed.
On the stone bed, the two Human youths huddled to the side, trembling violently, for in that short moment just now, they had witnessed the most unbelievable scene of their lives.
Zhang Julai couldn’t help but gulp.
He had always known that Lu Ye’s and Dao Thirteen’s strength could not be judged by the fluctuations of their Spiritual Power, but he had absolutely no idea just how strong they really were.
Until this moment.
The strongest in Bright Moon Cave, Sun Miaozhu, was killed by Dao Thirteen in such a short time. Furthermore, looking at Dao Thirteen’s demeanor, it was as if he had merely slaughtered a stray cat or dog, without breaking a sweat or even blinking an eye…
Even a Real Lake Realm Master wouldn’t be able to do this, right?
Seeing Lu Ye reappear, Dao Thirteen’s expression became somewhat resentful, as if blaming Lu Ye for leaving him behind. However, he still bent down, dug out Sun Miaozhu’s Blood Crystal from her chest, casually wiped it on his clothes, and handed it to Lu Ye.
He knew this thing was very useful to Lu Ye.
The sound of something tearing through the air came from all directions. Evidently, the other Blood Race members in Bright Moon Cave had been alerted by Sun Miaozhu’s screams and were coming to investigate the situation.
