Because when many slaves were discovered, they were either severely traumatized, both mentally and physically, or they had been trafficked from neighboring planets and had lost their families.
So the Queen ordered that the slave market be converted into a shelter to care for these poor people for a period of time.
Just then, the two arrived and found a group of slaves with blank expressions sitting around a table eating dinner.
They mechanically shoveled food into their mouths with spoons, their hands covered in scars and scabbed wounds on their faces.
Because of the itch, I scratched it, exposing the tender flesh, and my fingernails were full of blood.
Some people can only eat if they hold their plate and hide in a corner.
He was still uneasy while eating, his eyes looking around in fear, his fingers trembling slightly.
Some food fell on the ground, and people would just reach out and grab it, stuffing it into their mouths along with the dust.
Hearing a noise by the door, they all looked at Yu Tang and Yu Xiao.
As their gaze gradually focused, the conscious person recognized Yu Tang, quickly rose, knelt before him, and called out, "General Yu..."
Yu Tang told them to get up quickly.
There is no need to bow.
Afterwards, he chatted with the conscious slaves for a while, hugged a slave girl who was no more than five years old, and played games with the child.
Yu Xiao stood to the side, watching Yu Tang show a gentle smile to these lowly slaves.
Just like a long time ago, when he first met Yu Tang.
The man seemed to be looking at him in the same way.
But at that moment, he miraculously felt no jealousy whatsoever.
On the contrary, looking at Yu Tang like this, he felt a warmth in his heart.
He could sense Yu Tang's pity and concern for these people.
It wasn't an act; it was genuine kindness from the bottom of my heart.
And that's exactly the kind of Yu Tang he likes.
It's no longer about wanting to confine a man to a certain place and make him belong only to you, but rather a warm and relaxed kind of love.
He loved the man in front of him, loved his kindness, loved his smile, loved everything about him.
Yu Xiao didn't realize that she, too, had gone from being expressionless at the beginning to being infected by Yu Tang's smile and was now smiling softly.
The little girl looked at him and whispered, "Big brother, your smile is so handsome!"
Yu Tang followed his gaze and saw Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao was somewhat stunned.
There was even a moment of bewilderment.
He subconsciously reached into his pocket and found the candy Yu Tang had given him.
The boy pursed his lips, squatted down, took out the candy, and handed it to the little girl: "Do you... want some candy?"
At that moment, Yu Xiao felt as if he had returned to when he was five years old, the day he was adopted by that couple, when he wanted to show kindness to the girl next door and took out the candy that the woman had given him.
But the girl slapped his candy away and yelled at him: I don't want candy from a toy!
Then, using her pretty little shoes, she stomped the candy he gave her into the soil in the garden and continued, "Mom says the things you give me are dirty!"
At that time, he could only smile, but he found it somewhat difficult to understand why the other person would dislike him.
"I want..." The little girl's soft voice interrupted Yu Xiao's reverie. Encouraged by Yu Tang, she carefully took the candy from Yu Xiao and smiled at him: "Thank you, big brother!"
Yu Xiao's fingers stiffened slightly. He looked at the little girl's smiling face, then met the gentle gaze of the man beside him.
The warmth in my heart was amplified infinitely, enveloping my entire being.
His smile widened, and his voice unconsciously softened to match Yu Tangfang's as he gently said to the little girl, "You're... welcome..."
Yu Tang noticed his changes, and then let the girl go play. He then sat with Yu Xiao to the side, watching the slaves do some simple activities in the courtyard after they finished eating.
He said to Yu Xiao, "Xiaoxiao, these rescued slaves once had nationalities."
However, the bodies were destroyed by human traffickers, leaving them unable to find their families.
Some slaves suffered cruel treatment and abuse, leading to mental breakdowns.
If there is nowhere to shelter them, their only fate is to starve to death on the streets.
During my thorough investigation of this case, I also discovered that Zhou Nanfeng was not the only nobleman suspected of human trafficking…
“Where there is light, there will be shadow.” Yu Tang sighed softly and said, “But we can’t use that to comfort ourselves when we’ve done nothing.”
"So, I hope you can heed what I said to you before you listened."
"Do your job well, and make it your goal to eradicate the darkness and filth hidden beneath the empire's prosperous exterior. Help as many people as you can."
Yu Tang gently rubbed the top of Yu Xiao's head: "This way, you can also gain more happiness."
Yu Xiao listened quietly to the end.
Then she gently took the man's hand, clasped it with both of hers, and replied, "Yes, I understand."
However, after saying that, he immediately emphasized, "However, this goal can only be secondary. In my heart, you will always be number one."
Yu Tang tapped him on the head, saying helplessly, "Alright, alright, I know."
"Don't you feel ashamed to say such sweet nothings every day?"
Yu Xiao leaned against the man: "With you, I will only be shameless."
Yu Tang felt a chill run down his spine from the oiliness of the man's scalp.
He tried to push her away several times but couldn't, and feeling ashamed, he quickly dragged the clingy girl away from the slave market.
Even after they got into the car and arrived home, Yu Xiao still clung to him tightly.
Xiao Jin was already used to the interaction between the two.
Seeing them return, she snorted, wriggled her body, turned her back to them, and whispered to Yu Tang with her eyes closed: "Hurry up and go up! I can't bear to watch anymore!"
Yu Tang raised an eyebrow, finding Xiao Jin incredibly cute.
He wasn't in a hurry to push Yu Xiao away. Instead, he pulled the boy upstairs while deliberately sending a telepathic message to Xiao Jin: "Envious? Do you need me to find you a tigress for a blind date?"
"Host! You're so mean!"
Little Jin slammed its paw on the ground in anger: "I don't want a tigress!"
Having achieved his goal of provoking Xiao Jin, Yu Tang happily led Yu Xiao upstairs. But as soon as they entered the bedroom and closed the door, Yu Xiao pressed him against the door panel.
The kisses landed behind the ear and on the neck.
A shiver ran from the point where skin was in contact to the tailbone.
A truly devastating thought flashed through Yu Tang's mind: it seemed like his back was about to fall off!
The joy I felt from just now, mocking Xiao Jin, vanished instantly.
He curled his fingers and warned the boy behind him, "Xiaoxiao, well, eating too much sugar is actually bad, it can easily lead to diabetes."
Yu Xiao paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid."
Before Yu Tang could react, Yu Xiao's hands reached out from under his armpits.
One hand turned his face to kiss him, while the other hand landed on the buttons of his shirt...
Chapter 39
Died for the seventh time for the villain (39)
In the end, Yu Xiao did not get diabetes, but Yu Tang got hemiplegia.
In the latter half, he could only grip the bed railing and curse Yu Xiao, his voice choked with emotion.
Yu Tang didn't wake up until almost noon. Still lying face down, he poked Yu Xiao's forehead as she knelt before him, reflecting on her mistakes, and said angrily, "I was planning to go on a date with you today. I'm just thanking God I can even stand up now!"
Yu Xiao immediately clasped her hands together and apologized, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Yu Tang was amused by his behavior, covered his mouth, and said, "Are you turning a reading pen into a repeating machine? Do you think I'll forgive you just because you've worn my ears down to your ears?"
"A reading pen?" Yu Xiao's muffled voice came from under his palm.
Clearly, he didn't understand the joke.
"Cough, it's nothing, it's nothing." Thinking of this joke, which reminded him of the erotic songs Yu Xiao had sung before, Yu Tang immediately waved his hand, not wanting Yu Xiao to think about that anymore.
"Then how can you forgive me?" Yu Xiao pouted, looking aggrieved, then suddenly had an idea and said, "Oh, right, I'll sing you a song! You'll forgive me after I sing, okay?"
Seeing that he was about to start singing, Yu Tang immediately covered his mouth: "Don't sing!"
Yu Xiao blinked: "Then can you forgive me?"
"Alright, alright, I forgive you." Yu Tang sighed sadly.
He was ultimately defeated by his own foolish apprentice.
After that, the two of them spent the rest of their time at home.
After all, for Yu Xiao, it doesn't matter whether she goes on a date or not during the holidays.
He was happy as long as he was with Yu Tang.
Before leaving, Yu Xiao told Yu Tang that he could control the empire's network.
If you need his help, be sure to tell him.
Yu Tang understood that Yu Xiao was essentially a human-shaped energy manager and database.
However, the medical report that Dr. Chen showed him some time ago stated that the metal content in Yu Xiao's body had been increasing.
If possible, try to use these metals as little as possible.
Therefore, Yu Tang sternly demanded that Yu Xiao be obedient, telling him that these things could also be investigated by human intervention.
It just takes a long time, and he won't need to use his abilities again.
Yu Xiao was actually aware of the abnormality of the metal in her body, but she didn't take it seriously at first.
