Upon hearing this, the little old man immediately took out his key and unlocked the succubus's chains. Throughout the entire process, the succubus showed no reaction. She didn't even look up.
"I'll come again."
Li Tianxiang said slowly.
Upon hearing this, the joy on the little old man's face was indescribable. He said, "Master, the next time you come, I'll definitely prepare a better breed. Of course, I'll still give you the cheapest price."
Li Tianxiang nodded in satisfaction and led the succubus straight to the stairs that led to the exit of the basement. The old man followed closely behind him.
"Master…"
"Boss…"
When they arrived at the beast cage, the 200 orcs looked at Li Tianxiang excitedly.
Could they be transported back to the farm together?
Li Tianxiang asked in his heart.
[Yes.]
The system answered affirmatively.
"Then let's go back."
In an instant, the same light that had appeared when Li Tianxiang had arrived also appeared beneath their feet. Then, the light instantly disappeared. Following that, Li Tianxiang, the succubus, and the 200 orcs disappeared.
Meanwhile, only the shocked old man and the otherworldly people in the market remained.
…
[Welcome home, farm owner Li Tianxiang!]
Upon hearing this welcome, Li Tianxiang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
The moment they reached the farm, the succubus beside Li Tianxiang was curled up by the fence of the small courtyard. Just as he was about to go to the succubus, he was interrupted by the voice of the orcs.
"Master… what is this place?"
After a flash of white light, the 200 orcs found themselves in an unfamiliar place.
"This is your new home."
Looking at the young girl curled up in the corner, Li Tianxiang sighed. He could only deal with the orcs first.
"The five of you, go to the warehouse in the east and get 200 servings of food."
Li Tianxiang turned to look at the warehouse, indicating that it was there. Then, the five orcs obediently went to the warehouse.
When they pushed open the door of the warehouse, they were greeted by a mountain of dried meat and pancakes.
Upon seeing the mountain of food, the orcs were shocked and respected their master, Li Tianxiang.
After transporting the food to the other orcs, the orcs simply looked at the food with green eyes. They were like hungry wolves that had seen their prey.
"Is this for us?" It seemed that they couldn't believe that so much food was for them. None of the orcs came up to eat it.
However, upon seeing Li Tianxiang nod, the orcs rushed forward and began to eat.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Long live our Master!"
"How delicious! How delicious!"
"It's better than the food in the Tribe!"
"Master is great! It's too delicious!"
The orcs who had always eaten raw meat and bark stuffed their mouths with the taste of dried meat.
They had to repay their master!
Meanwhile, Li Tianxiang stood at the entrance of the small courtyard and watched as the orcs finished eating. The orcs touched their stomachs with satisfaction. Then, they looked at each other and whispered to each other.
The general meaning of their words was: "We haven't done anything for him, but he wants us to eat our fill. This is too embarrassing."
Then, a bold orc walked towards Li Tianxiang. "Is there anything we can do? Since you have allowed us to eat our fill, we will do our best to repay you."
Upon hearing Sal's words, Li Tianxiang's lips curled up.
"How about this? You guys can go to the forest behind to mine the trees and build your houses first."
After saying that, Li Tianxiang opened the system shop. He could exchange one gold coin for a two-person saw that could be used to chop trees. He chose to exchange his gold coins for 100 saws and only had nine magic crystals left after purchasing them. Li Tianxiang sighed helplessly. He had to hurry up and make money! Otherwise, he would have none when he needed money.
Li Tianxiang was silent for a moment. Then, he said, "Come and get your tools from me."
Just as the orcs were about to pick the wood with their tools, Li Tianxiang called out to the leader of the Orcs, Sal.
"What can I do for you?" Sal asked in human language.
"As expected," Li Tianxiang thought silently. It was no wonder that he felt Sal glaring at him in the market.
He smiled and watched as the orcs left for the workplace that he had arranged for them. Then, he said to Sal in the orc language, "Orcs will never be slaves, right?"
Upon hearing this, Sal couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. His new master actually understood the language of the orcs!
Li Tianxiang looked at Sal, who had entered a nervous state, and smiled. Then, he said calmly, "Don't you just want a home for yourself, where you can eat your filled and remain warm? You can make this place your home, and I can also let you eat your fill and wear warm clothes. As long as you make all the orcs listen to you and work harder, you will not lack anything. Furthermore, you can also expand the farmland and take in more orcs in the future."
Sal nodded at this. "If it's really as you say, I'm willing to work with you."
"Mas… ter…"
Sal looked very embarrassed. His green skin was flushed. Those who didn't know better would think that Sal was confessing to him.
F*ck! He couldn't go back now.
"Ahem!" Li Tianxiang coughed to allow his thoughts to return to normal. Then, he said solemnly to Sal, "I don't treat you as my slaves. You are my employees and my friends."
"As long as everyone works hard, we can lead a good life together. You don't have to call me Master. Just call me Boss."
"Tell them later that they can work from six in the morning and rest at six at night. Outside these working hours, they can do anything. They can cut down trees, build more houses, and construct better rooms. All of these can be done."
Hearing Li Tianxiang's words, Sal was very touched.
However, he was somewhat puzzled. There was no such thing as a "boss" in his world. Although it was still a little strange, it was indeed easier to say than "Master." There was also a hint of familiarity.
"I'll definitely do my best, Boss!"
Sal bade farewell to Li Tianxiang and went to the forest where the orcs were working.
Upon hearing the cheers from behind the cabin, the corners of Li Tianxiang's lips curled up.
…
Next, it was time to study this succubus.
Li Tianxiang turned around and saw the succubus, who was curled up by the fence.
"Hello?" No matter what, he should greet her first.
However, the girl did not react to him.
"Missy, Missy?"
"Hello?"
Li Tianxiang stared at the girl helplessly. He didn't think so when he was in the basement of the market, but now that he was in a space filled with sunlight, he realized that the girl's skin was like white jade. Her tightly shut eyes had long eyelashes that cast a shadow under the sunlight. Meanwhile, her cherry-like lips were slightly pale.
"You… What do you need to treat your injury?"
Upon hearing this, the young succubus's eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes.
She had a pair of eyes that were as clear as top-grade rubies. However, they were emotionless. Although they were very beautiful, there was no light in them.
