The little boy gritted his teeth, raised his head suddenly and said: "Otherwise, you...you turn me into a slave. I know that warriors can take slaves. This way you don't have to worry about me running away, right?"
He Xi raised his eyelids slightly, "Do you know what it means to become a slave? Soul slaves will have part of their souls taken away, which means that no matter how much you practice as a slave in the future, you will never achieve much success."
The little boy's face was full of confusion and pain, but after looking at the innocent expressions of the children behind him, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to be your slave, but... you have to promise to let all of us follow you, and you can't make them all slaves!"
The two looked at each other, there was obvious fear in the little boy's eyes, and his little body was trembling, but he did not hesitate at all.
A satisfied smile finally appeared on He Xi's face. She suddenly threw out a porcelain bottle and said calmly, "If you become a soul slave, your strength will be greatly reduced. Why should I keep a useless waste? Is it for fun?"
"Since you are so confident that you will not betray me, then take the medicine in this bottle. This is a drug I made to control people's minds. As long as you don't think of betraying me, the poison will not take effect. But if you have any other thoughts, this poison will make you feel like you can neither live nor die."
"Well, are you still willing to eat?"
The little boy held the porcelain bottle and hesitated, "Should we eat all of them?"
"Of course." He Xi smiled faintly, "Even if you can guarantee that these children will not betray me today, what about ten or a hundred years later? I still say the same thing, I will not raise a group of ungrateful people."
"Okay, let's eat!" The little boy gritted his teeth, opened the porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
Most of the children behind him were still confused. When they saw the little boy taking the medicine, they didn't understand what the medicine was, so they just took the medicine from the little boy's hand and swallowed it.
He Xi nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. In that case, you should stay here with the group of little guys and wait for us to finish our business and then come back to pick you up."
The little boy immediately showed a suspicious look on his face when he heard this, and said nervously: "We have all taken the medicine, you won't go back on your word, right?"
The little boy's wandering life since childhood has made him accustomed to the despicable faces of adults. Even though the big brother in front of him makes him want to get closer to him unconsciously, he still has some doubts.
He Xi sneered, "If I want to leave you behind, can you follow me? Is it worth wasting a bottle of my medicine?"
After saying that, without waiting for the little boy to speak, he pulled Gu Liufeng and disappeared in a flash.
The little boy stood there in a daze, then wiped his bloody face and gritted his teeth and said, "I... We'll just wait here, big brother and the others will definitely come pick us up soon!"
These words were a comfort to all the children in the dungeon, as well as to himself.

In the dark dungeon, Murong Feng held a whip soaked in salt water in his hand and whipped the woman who was rolling on the ground.
The woman had disheveled hair, a bloodstained face, and scars all over her body. When she was whipped, she couldn't make any sound and could only wail and cry for help.
Murong Feng retracted the whip, kicked the woman away, and then walked to the interrogation rack not far away.
On the torture rack was a tall man with a half-broken mask on his face and scars all over his body. (To be continued)
