It turned out to be the pockmarked Zhou Chong of the Zhou family, standing on the edge of the slave trading platform, laughing wildly and raising the whip in his hand to whip a female elf slave in blue.
Wherever the whip strikes, a red blood mark will appear on the body of the green-clothed elf slave, and her flesh and blood will be bloody and terrifying.
Zhou Chong is the most powerful third-level alchemy master of the Zhou family. He usually relies on his alchemy skills and is very arrogant and domineering in Lava Town. Ye Tian has long heard of this.
But it was his first time to see such a helpless elf female slave being openly and cruelly bullied in public.
Although slave trading is legal in the Origin Continent and even Zhou Long Kingdom, under normal circumstances, the life and death of these slaves are protected by law.
Take this female elf slave in blue as an example. As long as she does not violate discipline or law, Zhou Chong cannot whip her for no reason.
If someone really wants to seriously hold Zhou Chong accountable, he will go to jail.
But the real situation... This is impossible in Lava Town, because the elves are an alien ethnic group and a vulnerable group. No one will make decisions for them. Most of the officials in Zhou Long Kingdom will only turn a blind eye. If nothing happens, you won't mind your own business.
Of course, it is not ruled out that this female elf slave in green offended Zhou Chong.
Just when Ye Tian didn't want to mind his own business and left, the passers-by who were watching the excitement made him understand what was going on.
It turns out that this female elf slave in blue is a free trade slave, that is, she can choose the buyer by herself. If she does not agree, the buyer has no right to interfere.
The reason why such a transaction occurs is because the Ancient Tree Continent where the elves are located was invaded by the demons. In order to survive, millions of displaced elves had to sell themselves to the humans on the original continent at a low price.
In fact, the appearance of the elves is not much different from that of humans, except for the three differences: pointy ears, green skin, and a long, fluffy tail.
The female elf slave in blue was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhou Chong's pockmarked face, so she refused. It had occurred to her that Zhou Chong could not care less about his face, so he raised his whip and whipped her hard.
Even though the passers-by around looked at him and couldn't bear it, no one dared to stand up and speak.
Because no one dares to offend the Zhou family.
In this world of the Origin Continent, where the jungle prevails, if you don't have absolute strength and meddle in other people's affairs, you'll end up dead.
Ye Tian saw that the whip in Zhou Chong's hand was about to beat the female elf slave in blue to death, and was about to step forward to stop him. However, Ye Qianqian, who was holding the roasted sweet potato, angrily ran to Zhou Chong and took the belt away. Bloody whip: "Zhou Chong, stop it! Do you still have Wang Fa?"
"Huh! Tell me about the king's law. I'm in Lava Town, that's... the king's law!" Zhou Chong yelled angrily. When he turned around and saw that it was Ye Qianqian, he was shocked: "You... your Ye family is in charge of us Zhou What are you doing at home?"
"Who wants to meddle in the Zhou family's business? As long as you don't bully others!" Ye Qianqian stretched out her hand to help the poor female elf in green who was lying on the ground and handed the sweet potato in her hand to her: "Eat it! It's just roasted. It smells delicious.”
"Thank you...sister!" The female elf in green timidly took the roasted sweet potato, but she didn't dare to eat it. Her big watery eyes looked at Zhou Chong fearfully with tears in her eyes.
Ye Qianqian suddenly lost her temper and looked at Zhou Chong coldly: "Why don't you get out! Look how scared that little girl is."
"Hey! You Ye family are in charge of heaven and earth, but you can still control me buying female slaves!" Zhou Chong saw the passers-by pointing at him, and suddenly the face on Mazi's face lost all control, and he stretched out his hand to grab the girl in Tsing Yi. The elf roared domineeringly: "I'm telling you, if you don't let me be your master, I will do it anyway. You are mine for ten thousand gold coins!"
"No!" cried the female elf in green, so frightened that the roasted sweet potatoes in her hands fell to the ground.
She knew that Zhou Chong's ten thousand gold coins were not to buy her as a slave, but to buy her life.
"You are so shameless!" Ye Qianqian wanted to take Zhou Chong's dirty hands away, but was blocked by two menacing and burly guards behind Zhou Chong, who were intent on taking action.
"Get out of the way!" Ye Qianqian's face was pale and she didn't know what to do. Whoosh~~~!
Ye Tian used space teleportation to appear next to her, hoo~~! Lifting his legs with both feet, he kicked the two guards who were helping him fly several meters away. They vomited blood and fell to the ground unable to crawl.
"Ye Tian, you... you dare to interfere with our Zhou family's business?" Zhou Chong put down the hand that grabbed the female elf in green and shouted sternly.
In his opinion, those who offended the Zhou family in Lava Town would not end well.
Ye Tian sneered: "Why don't I dare to take care of it? Does this Lava Town belong to your Zhou family? Don't forget that the day before yesterday, your family leader Zhou Luotian and Lei Tianbao wanted to bloodbath our Ye family. What will be the final outcome?"
"You!" Zhou Chong broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He knew what happened the day before yesterday, but if he just gave in, he would bring shame to the Zhou family.
Just as he was about to find a way to go down the steps, Zhou Ziqiang, the eldest son of the Zhou family, who was wearing a silver robe and squeezed the pimples on his face, squeezed in from the onlookers and appeared in front of him. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and squirted. She slapped him in the face: "Zhou Chong, is your uncle blind? You dare to offend Ye Tian, don't you want to live anymore?"
"Young Master, I didn't offend Ye Tiantian! It was him who was meddling in other people's business and wouldn't let me buy a female slave!" Zhou Chong covered his face and explained in silence.
"Go away, you think this young master is blind!" Zhou Ziqiang shouted angrily: "You are a shameful thing!"
Zhou Chong whipped the female elf in blue. There was such a loud movement. How could he not know about it on the sidelines? He just turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.
Now that Ye Qianqian stood up and spoke out, she naturally acted as a peacemaker and asked Zhou Chong to get out. If things got bigger, his Zhou family would definitely suffer.
Because the truth is not on Zhou Chong's side at all.
Again.
The current Ye family is simply not something that the Zhou family can provoke.
If the Ye family were to deal with the Zhou family because of this trivial matter, it would really be more of a loss than a gain.
"Okay! I'm out, I'm out!" Seeing that Zhou Ziqiang was angry, Zhou Chong glanced at Ye Tian resentfully and walked away dejectedly. But he knew that his status as a third-level alchemist was not as good as Zhou Ziqiang's. The family is not as strong as last week.
If he makes trouble with Zhou Luotian, he will definitely be punished.
Seeing Zhou Chong walk away, Zhou Ziqiang squeezed out a forced smile on his acne-prone face: "Ye Tian, Ye Qianqian! I'm sorry for what happened just now! It's all Zhou Chong's fault. I apologize to you on his behalf!"
Nowadays, the Zhou family is different from the past, and he can't do it without being humble.
"You don't need to apologize, this is all Zhou Chong's fault!" Ye Tian waved his hand: "That's right! Why are you at the market by chance today?"
"It's the same as sister Qianqian! They are all supplies for going to Mojia Academy!" Zhou Ziqiang looked at Ye Qianqian and grinned, showing his yellow teeth: "What do you like, do you need help purchasing it?"
"Go away, who cares about your help!" Ye Qianqian glared at Zhou Ziqiang disgustingly, then turned around to chat with the female elf slave in blue.
Zhou Ziqiang was very embarrassed. He knew that Ye Qianqian hated him, and it must be related to his father's treatment of the Ye family the night before yesterday. He was about to walk away wisely, but Ye Qianqian shouted out.
