It was a new day, but it was nothing new to Xiao Lan. For her, it was yet another same day where she would be treated worse than how a slave should be treated.
The only new thing in the new day was that she was finally going to be sold in an Auction. It wasn't good news, but at least it was better than rotting in the slave cells of the slave organization.
But she didn't lose her hopes or give up on her life. Why would she? She was sure she would one day escape this hellhole and take her revenge. That revenge alone was fueling her will to survive.
'Duan Tian Long, just you wait. This Empress would survive in this small realm and come to kill you in the Divine Realm. You can enjoy your throne until I burn your seven generations with my flames.'
Xiao Lan's eyes burned with fiery red flames of determination and revenge. She couldn't wait to escape this hellhole and Cultivate to the top of this small realm she had found herself in. Only then would she be able to go back to the divine realm and exact her revenge.
Xiao Lan was a reincarnated soul from the Divine Realm. She was previously the Empress of the Divine Phoenix Empire, one of the strongest factions in the Divine Realm.
She was going to marry a man who was also her Senior Brother because they shared the same Master. They had spent hundreds of years together and loved each other.
Their clan was also in agreement with their marriage since her Senior Brother also belonged to a strong Faction. Unfortunately, the day of her wedding, which was meant to be her happiest day, turned into a day of pure despair and betrayal.
Her so-called lover had betrayed her on the day of their wedding and thrust a dagger, made especially to kill the most powerful phoenix, into her chest. The pain of that dagger was far less than the betrayal she had experienced.
After all, she wasn't just betrayed by her lover, the man she trusted the most and gave her everything. She was also betrayed by the very same clan she fought so hard to protect. She had done everything she could do, sacrificed everything for her clan, but they had, in the end, betrayed her.
The dagger that killed her was a special weapon kept in the most protected treasury of the Pheonix Clan. No one except the top clan members could open it. The Clan had actually given the very weapon that meant her end to another man.
And if that wasn't enough, everyone mocked her when she was dying. They called her a fool, idiot, bitch, and many other things. Even her clan members she had protected and given her everything were mocking her and spitting on her bleeding body.
The last thing she witnessed before she lost consciousness was the smirking face of her ex-lover and her younger sister. They both had conspired to kill her. She couldn't forgive them, never even in her death.
So, she had used her ancestral Phoenix Flames to give herself a new life. Only the Heir of the Phoenix clan knew about the nature of the ancestral Phoenix Flames; others only knew that they held immense power and would be free once the user died.
That was one of the reasons her sister had killed her: to take her throne as Empress and the Ancestral Phoenix Flames. However, she wasn't fully informed about the nature of the Ancestral Phoenix Flames, which helped Xiao Lan.
Xiao Lan had sacrificed a vital part of her Ancestral Phoenix Flames to send her soul somewhere else. Unfortunately, she couldn't control her reincarnation and ended up in a small realm instead of the Divine Realm she was hoping for.
But it was also good since she was sure that both Duan Tian Long and her sister would search the whole Divine Realm for the Ancestral Phoenix Flames. And with how weak she would be because of reincarnating into a new body, She would be killed again, and this time completely.
Xiao Lan was happy with that but she didn't like her new life one bit. She was born into the dead body of a young girl who had died because a group of bandits attacked their village.
The villagers were mostly mortals with only a few Cultivators among them, so they couldn't resist the mighty bandits and were killed. The bandits looted everything and took every woman they found alive.
Xiao Lan was fortunate that she reincarnated after the bandits had gone. When she woke up, all she saw was a burning village and the dead bodies of everyone she knew—her mother, her father, and everyone she loved.
She was influenced by the emotions of the previous soul of the body but still controlled herself and escaped the village before someone came to check on it.
But it seemed like her luck had run out when she reincarnated. She encountered some members of the Slave organization right outside the village who had come to take anyone left alive. Finding only the small girl alive, they took her in and made her a slave.
Xiao Lan was powerless to do anything since she hadn't even stepped on the path of cultivation. Her soul was also injured, so she couldn't even use soul attacks. All she could do was go with the flow and wait for the perfect time.
It's been years since she had been a slave in a slave organization, and for some reason, they weren't selling her. And she understood it, too. They wanted her to get into her twenties, and then they would sell her.
After all, although some people had strange fetishes and bought underage girls, virgin young girls in their twenties always sold for a high price. That's what they were hoping for.
And today was that day. Today, she would be sold and turned into nothing but a sex slave. However, she wasn't worried about that. She had recovered a major portion of her soul in all the years she had suffered in the Slave Organisation and was sure she would be able to escape.
However, she was waiting for a perfect time.
