Of course, that’s great!
Why not!
A warm, smiling, and sweet-looking blonde girl is the best!
Whether from Bai Ze’s past perspective as a boy or from the perspective of an elf.
More importantly, if the girl has features like blonde hair and blue eyes.
That means avoiding the storyline that the original elven princess Sherya was supposed to go through.
Forget about the female general leading a pursuit of marriage.
“Just stay put in the crematorium from the beginning!”
In any case, stay away from the black-haired beauty!
Stay away from people with the surname “Ji”!
These are the two survival rules that Bai Ze has come up with in the current two different worlds.
The advantage of doing this is that it can at least avoid the fate of being tortured, forced, and used as a tool for some sweet-looking but treacherous girls!
Of course, Bai Ze is aware that there’s a high probability of becoming someone’s slave.
But as long as it’s not the slave of the original female lead Ji Yu Su, it’s fine.
As for others… like the blonde girl in front of him.
Bai Ze is willing to take a gamble.
He’s betting that they will be gentle and kind masters.
Then, all Bai Ze needs to do is temporarily and insincerely please them.
When necessary, offer his body to gain their trust.
This way, there’s a chance to escape at a critical moment and embark on the journey to find his fellow elves!
Bingo! This plan is perfect!
“Why aren’t you talking? Clearly, you have such enticing lips.”
The blonde beauty questioned.
Above her azure eyes, her elegant eyebrows slightly furrowed, still displaying a dazzling beauty.
“Ah… ah…”
Bai Ze finally realized and made an effort to say something.
Of course, she knew she was mute.
But that’s not a reason to stay silent.
On the contrary, she could use this to her advantage.
Utilize her only vulnerabilities and beauty as weapons.
Her wrists and ankles were bound by chains, and even a slight movement caused a painful strain on her soft tissues.
But she still desperately tried to get closer to the blonde girl’s position.
So, she crawled on the floor of the cage with her tender knees, making squeaky sounds.
With a pitiful gaze, like a young animal or kitten, she looked up at the girl from bottom to top.
Very conscious of being a commodity, eager to be bought.
Seeing this, the slave trader fiercely whipped the cage with a whip.
“Crack!”
A terrifying sound of the whip cutting through the air rang out.
The young elf girl was immediately frightened, trembling all over.
“Sob…!”
“Stop!”
The blonde girl couldn’t help but feel a strong desire to protect and defend the girl in front of her.
She scolded the brutal slave trader.
“Hey, which law of the empire says I can’t whip my own slave?”
“I can stop if you want, or else, buy her yourself!”
“How many people dare to touch the slave of Miss here?”
The slave trader clearly noticed the extravagant and noble attire of the blonde girl from head to toe.
So, how could he miss the opportunity to provoke her?
The blonde girl saw through the slave trader’s tricks but just coldly snorted.
At the same time, she tried to comfort the frightened elf girl by gently stroking her long hair.
This was the first warmth Bai Ze felt since arriving in this fictional world.
She immediately immersed herself in it, drinking it like a person in desperate need of a clear spring.
Being enslaved was undoubtedly terrible.
But if the one doing it was a beautiful girl who gently touched her head, it might not be so bad.
“Enough nonsense. First, tell me why she can’t speak.”
“Could it be, as the rumors say, that some slave traders steal slaves from other households and feed them mute potions to avoid exposure?”
“If I find out she belongs to someone else, the consequences… you know them!”
Hearing the words of the noble girl, the slave trader became anxious.
“Don’t slander without evidence!”
“I’ll tell you the truth. I’m frustrated that, after finally catching a high-quality elf, she turns out to be mute!”
“Consider me unlucky. If you want this elf, I can give you a discount.”
The blonde girl couldn’t help but ponder.
Mute, huh…
It matched her sister’s personality well.
Moreover, the elf girl was gentle and obedient, as likable as an affectionate little cat.
If it weren’t for selecting a personal maid for her sister, the blonde girl might have found herself attracted to the elf girl.
At least, just the thought of her being bought by someone else stirred a sense of displeasure in her heart.
Thinking up to this point, the blonde girl’s heart had almost made a decision.
There was only one last question.
“Is she innocent?”
The girl’s tone was indifferent, as if asking, “Is the vegetable fresh or not?” while selecting groceries.
Bai Ze’s heart was not yet that sensitive.
So, she didn’t have time to feel despondent. Her long, pointed ears just turned a faint red and quivered.
She vaguely understood the implication in the blonde girl’s words.
So… was she really going to endure that kind of treatment?
“Innocent, definitely innocent!”
“Do you not believe it? Hey, Old Tudun! Bring over that unicorn you treat like a treasure!”
Unicorns, a legendary creature that only gets close to pure virgins among the elves.
After the fall of the Elven city Fericis, these beautiful white horses with single horns were divided among the nobles, leaving almost none for the elves.
Some of them ended up circulating in the black market, and surprisingly, their value exceeded that of their elven owners.
Tudun was one such merchant who sold unicorns.
He was acquainted with the slave trader, and upon hearing the command, he immediately led over a small unicorn, completely white and as delicate as flawless jade.
Its eyes were gentle and shy, sparkling with pure clarity.
The snow-white mane flowed like a fringe, and the silver horn had the texture of jade.
Its jet-black hooves obediently followed Tudun’s lead, occasionally fidgeting with unease.
It was evident that the unicorn had been well taken care of, and its value was naturally quite high.
The blonde girl’s eyes lit up, unable to help but exclaim, “So beautiful.”
Then, she turned to Bai Ze and spoke.
“Matches well with you.”
“…”
Bai Ze didn’t know how to respond.
Of course, she couldn’t speak either.
The small unicorn approached the blonde girl first, expressing its closeness willingly.
It allowed her to touch it in any way, appearing docile and even emitting joyful “neigh” sounds.
The blonde girl’s cheeks instantly turned red.
Well, you were supposed to be checking the elf, not me…
At this moment, the exit of the cage was opened by the slave trader.
The handcuffs and shackles binding Bai Ze were removed, leaving only the collar on her neck, emphasizing her slave status.
She felt a bit lighter without the restraints, but her soul remained burdened like never before.
Bai Ze’s eye sockets were a bit reddened. She tried to stand up, but after a stagger, she ended up falling to the ground again.
“Ugh…!”
She had indeed overestimated her ability to move after being confined and bound for so long.
Her knees hurt.
Just as she was getting anxious, a pair of gentle hands slipped under her knees, lifting the small and delicate Bai Ze tenderly.
Light enough to make one’s heart ache, like a person woven from feathers.
That was the blonde girl’s first impression.
Meanwhile, Bai Ze was completely lost in her embrace.
The girl’s presence reflected in her eyes, haunting her.
At this moment, the little unicorn excitedly neighed and trotted over to Bai Ze.
It had never seen such a pure and beautiful girl before.
Acting on instinct, it approached the elven princess.
The unicorn knelt down, folding its front hooves and bowing its head.
Tudun exclaimed immediately, “This is the posture a unicorn shows when acknowledging its master!”
“It hopes the elf can ride on it and become its owner!”
