8. The Elf King’s Blissful Life


Xie He’s eyes were glued on the roasted meat in front of him. He looked like he wasn’t staring at some delicious food but a cup of poison…. He slowly raised his arms, picking up the slab of meat. The unfamiliar sensation of oil on his fingers made him feel nauseated….


This had been taken from the body of an animal. It had been cruelly slaughtered, cut apart, and then treated as food by humans…. He could not stop himself from thinking like this. He felt his stomach turn and he wanted to vomit.


Saj smiled while looking down at Xie He. He didn’t have any intention of using force.


Xie He heard the bidding going on outside. His young female elf…would be sold to some disgusting, rich human, thereby losing her freedom and dignity. She would become a pet that humans used to play with and vent their desires…she would fall to miserable straits like him.


He couldn’t let that happen.


Xie He shut his eyes…and finally brought the meat to his mouth and bit off a piece.


After biting off a piece, he chewed and swallowed…. He couldn’t vomit it out. He tried to pretend that it was fruits or dew water, or any other kind of food… He tried to think like this, but the intense oily, seasoned aroma filled his nose. It was not the same…not at all!


Xie He vomited it out in the end. The meat in his hand fell to the floor and ended up covered in dust.


He stared blankly at the meat on the floor. Anguish flickered through his eyes. He had no time left…. He reached out, still on his knees, wanting to continue eating. However, Saj suddenly bent down and grabbed the elf’s hands. He said blandly, “Forget it. You don’t have to eat it anymore.”


These words were like a clap of thunder in Xie He’s ears. He shook, humiliation and forbearance in his emerald eyes. He pleaded quietly, “No…I can eat it…please….”


Saj looked at Xie He with dark eyes. His gaze slowly drifted downwards. He then took a handkerchief and calmly wiped the grease off Xie He’s fingers.


At this moment, the bidding price had already increased to one hundred and twenty million, exceeding Xie He’s winning bid. The female elf was obviously more attractive to humans. Despite this, the auction was reaching the end. Xie He didn’t dare pull his hand back. He said with a trembling voice, “Please save her. I really can eat it….”


Saj hooked his lips into a smile, his gaze full of affection as he looked at Xie He. He caressed his cheek and suddenly turned, shouting with a clear voice, “Two hundred million!”


At once, the hall broke out into raucous chatter. This bid was more than any of them could handle. Furthermore, they did not dare go against the City Lord. When they thought that the City Lord had both rare elves in his collection, many people grew angered and restless.


The auctioneer was exceptionally excited. This elf actually sold for double of what the other elf had. It was unbelievable! He loudly proclaimed the end and then had someone lift the cage off the stage.


Xie He watched as Amakiir was finally taken away from that frightening platform and felt relieved.


Saj pulled at the chain attached to Xie He’s collar, pulling him so that the other stood before him. He lowered his head to gently kiss those soft lips and smiled. “Look, as long as you are faithful to me, I am your god. I can fulfill any of your wishes….”


Xie He’s eyes reflected his aggrieved and stupefied emotions. For the first time, he didn’t fight back.


Saj seemed to be very pleased with his behaviour. He waited for the goods he had won to be delivered. He packed the jewelled tool and the elf’s cage into his carriage and then brought Xie He home. Xie He knelt at his feet docilely the whole way back, letting Saj occasionally stroke his golden hair and back, as one would to a pet.


【444:Host dada, you didn’t get to eat it. You could only have one bite before vomiting. QAQ】


【Xie He:Baby, I got to enjoy the delicious taste on my tongue. The most important part of eating delicacies is the process, rather than eating one’s fill. Do you understand? Smile.JPG】


【444:Oh….】


【Xie He:Also, I trust that Saj really loves me. Although I only got to have one bite this time, getting started is always the hardest part. It will become easier later on. He absolutely will not abandon me.】


【Xie He:A blissful life is up ahead.】


【444:O(∩_∩)O~】He can feel that Host dada’s mood had taken a turn for the better. He can finally relax….


…………………………………………………………


Saj brought Xie He home and locked him up in the cage again. After a while, he brought a platter of delicious foods. It was all meat cooked in a variety of ways.


Saj brought some kind of roasted yellow bird in front of Xie He and said, “This was a Phoenix-Winged Bird. It is a very rare delicacy. Give it a try.”


Indignation and grief appeared in Xie He’s eyes. The Phoenix-Winged Bird was one of the most endangered bird species in the world. It was extremely expensive. One bird cost several hundreds of thousands. Often, one couldn’t buy it in the market no matter how high a price they offered. This was something even the nobles rarely ate. This kind of rare item…Saj actually brought it out!


Xie He’s stomach was rumbling with hunger. This was an absolute delicacy that could only be eaten in this world. However, Xie He didn’t move for a long time…. It was once again time to test his acting abilities!


This Phoenix-Winged Bird was even millions of times more tempting than that roasted meat from before. But he could not look too eager!


Saj stroked his hair and asked with a soft voice, “Are you not hungry? Didn’t you just…tell me that you could still eat?”


Although there was a smile in his voice and he seemed to be in a good mood, Xie He shivered. He slowly reached out and took the roasted Phoenix-Winged Bird over…. Amakiir was in this man’s hands.


Saj smiled, acting patient, “Eat, ba. Only by eating your fill will you have the strength to bear my love.”


Xie He shut his eyes in pain. He opened his mouth and bit down, chewing it and swallowing it down….


Saj gave him a pleased smile. He then handed another piece of meat to Xie He, watching him as he ate. Each time, he purposely told Xie He what the meat was and just how precious they were. He told him how expensive they were and how much particular attention went into cooking them.


When the majority of the food on the tray was eaten, and Saj saw that Xie He really was full, he took the tray away.


【444:Host dada, aren’t you going to throw up?_(:зゝ∠)_】Isn’t it too fake if you eat so much, ah….


&#k3010;Xie He&#kUU1J;Baby, actually, an elf’s body is not too different from that of a human. It can ingest meat. It’s just that I hadn’t been mentally prepared to get through it the first time. It’s enough to vomit once. After eating a few more times, it’s natural to get accustomed to it.&#k3011;


【444:……】


【Xie He:For the sake of my adorable young female elf, I can get over the mental obstacles. I’m fine, don’t worry. 🙂 】


【444:O(∩_∩)O~】No, I’m not worried in the least….


When Saj came back, he held in his hand an exquisite silver box. He placed the box on the ground and then pulled Xie He into his arms. He rubbed the other’s ears and chuckled in his baritone voice, “Look at the present I got for you. You’ll definitely look gorgeous with it on.”


As he said it, he opened the box. Inside was an emerald accessory.


Xie He’s expression changed. He had seen that object at the auction. When he thought about its use, that beautiful accessory, in his eyes, became an extremely terrifying torture device. He couldn’t help but begin to tremble.


He watched as Saj took out an earring-like object inlaid with emeralds. Finally, he could not bear it any longer and began to struggle, trying to get out of Saj’s arms. He then went to hide in a corner of the cage. His eyes were stuck on Saj. He looked like he wanted to maul Saj to death.


Saj smiled, looking at Xie He calmly. Truly disobedient. He can only act compliant for a short while.… Saj’s mouthed words silently.


A while later, his subordinates carried a cage over. The silver-haired, adolescent female elf cowered inside like a little animal, as if she could feel that something terrifying would soon occur.


The cage slowly approached. The moment Xie He could see Amakiir, Amakiir could also make out Xie He. She couldn’t help but reveal an expression of delighted surprise. She shouted, “Your Excellency Galan!”


But very soon, she realized that Xie He’s situation was likely as bad as her own. Her expression turned into one of sorrow. Xie He had also been captured….


Saj’s subordinate hung the cage on one of the tree’s branches. That cage hung above Xie He’s. From there, one could see everything that happened below.


Xie He bit his lips so hard that it nearly bled. He said with a hoarse voice, “I already fulfilled your request. Why haven’t you let her go?”


Saj quirked his lips up and said dully, “I have also already fulfilled my promise. I prevented her from falling into the vicious hands of those humans. I didn’t promise to let her go. I wasted two hundred million on her. Right now, she’s worth more than you. Why should I let her go?”


Anger flashed in Xie He’s eyes, “You despicable person.”


Saj smiled carefreely, “Thank you for the compliment. Now, come here.”


Xie He did not move.


Saj thus stood up and shook his head, a smile painting his lips. “Really disobedient. Right now, I regret buying her for you a bit. I should just sell her. That way, I can minimize the loss.”


When Xie He heard the meaning in his words, he quivered. He looked at the other in disbelief.


He watched as Saj almost left and finally gnashed his teeth and spat out, “No…I…will listen.”


Saj looked at him meaningfully, “Really?”


Xie He was rigid. He looked like he was ready to meet with death and nodded.


Saj gave Xie He a profound look, a smile on his lips. He pulled the silver box back out.


Xie He lied on the floor, fingers digging into the ground. Because he used too much force, his fingertips became bloodied…. His expression warped and his face paled from the pain but he didn’t dare move. He only did his best to endure.


When Saj finally took his hands back, Xie He felt like a fish dying on the short. He had broken out into a cold sweat from the pain. Now, he curled his body up helplessly.


Amakiir had watched the entire proceedings from above. The moment Saj had begun, she had cried. But when she saw how His Excellency Galan had borne it, not letting out a sound, she didn’t dare to make any more noises. She was afraid that it would only serve to add to His Excellency Galan’s pain. Therefore, she covered her mouth. However, the tears fell down her cheeks uncontrollably, dripping onto the ground….


His Excellency Galan was enduring this pain and suffering for her sake. His Excellency Galan had never changed. He had indeed been forced.


She suddenly regretted running away. If it wasn’t for her, His Excellency Galan wouldn’t have needed to agree to this demon’s demands. But she also felt conflicted. If she hadn’t seen this all, she would never have known the truth. She wouldn’t have known how much His Excellency Galan had endured for their sake unbeknownst to them all. He faced that horrifying fiend all on his own and also bore the race’s misunderstanding.


Saj looked at his work with satisfaction. Now that the beautiful elf wore an exquisite accessory, that little bit of decor made him even more dazzling, making one unable to look away all the more. It made people want to possess him even more..


He bent down and kissed Xie He, stroking the silver collar that had emeralds embedded within. Love and desire intertwined in his eyes. He wanted him again.


Xie He looked up, eyes covered in a layer of mist. He met eyes with Amakiir and revealed a terribly anguished expression. He said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t look….”


Amakiir covered her mouth, shaking her head forcefully. Everything before her eyes were like fierce attacks against her psyche. She had never seen such a thing before, never anything so terrifying or tragic…her king….


She could even imagine that if it wasn’t for His Excellency Galan having given himself up to this demon to stop her from being sold, these terrifying happenings would have happened to her. He was enduring this on her behalf.


Amakiir sobbed silently. She slowly turned around. She didn’t watch, she didn’t listen. She shut her eyes and covered her ears.


If His Excellency Galan did not wish for her to see this, she would pretend she could not see it.


She would pretend to be oblivious….


……………………………………………………


The next morning, the sunlight shone warm against Xie He’s skin. He slowly woke up.


Actually, since 444 had blocked 60% of the pain, the proceedings yesterday hadn’t hurt all that much. Furthermore, the dark energy Saj had left behind healed his body. After one night, that tiny wound had healed fully.


He touched his own ear. There was an emerald earring attached now. There were also those things attached to his body. When they moved, they emitted a tinkling sound. Even he nearly couldn’t hold himself back when this beautiful body was adorned with accessories. Ai…he really wanted to look in a mirror.


Saj really had good taste.


Xie He moved slightly and heard a quiet female voice call him from above, “Your Excellency Galan….”


Amakiir looked at Xie He with reddened eyes. She didn’t sleep all night. The demon had only left very late into the night. She had sat up here watching powerlessly, watching as His Excellency was tormented into unconsciousness by that fiend….


She had watched as his body was cruelly treated.


“Your Excellency Galan…wuwuwu…” Amakiir couldn’t get any words out. She could only cry, non-stop. She really wanted to hold her tears back but she couldn’t.


Xie He crawled up from the ground, cutting a sorry figure. He shut his eyes, exhausted, covering up the pain and humiliation. He then looked up at Amakiir and gave her a comforting gaze. He slowly said, “Do not be afraid. I will think of a way to save you.”


Amakiir sobbed, “Don’t worry about me. You should escape….”


Xie He chuckled. He looked at Amakiir gently, “My mission is to protect you all, have you forgotten? Don’t think about it too hard. I am fine.”


Amakiir didn’t believe these words at all. She still wanted to say something but Saj already arrived soon afterwards. She didn’t dare speak.


Saj presented a full tray of fine foods to Xie He again. As for Amakiir…he casually flicked his hand, causing several fruits to fall. He then couldn’t be bothered to give her another glance.


Xie He did not resist this time, as if he had lost all intentions to fight back. He slowly walked over to Saj, bringing with him a tinkling sound as he walked. He then grabbed the meat and began to eat.


Saj was very pleased with Xie He’s behaviour. He watched as the other ate while twirling the thin chain attached to Xie He’s body with his finger, tugging at it softly. Pain appeared on Xie He’s face but he held it back, not making a sound. He forced himself to keep eating until he could no longer eat.


Saj hugged Xie He, touching the other’s ears. The elf was now wearing earrings. A single tug caused the elf to tremble. It was many times more sensitive than before. This beautiful body had always brought him a delightful surprise time and time again.


He whispered in Xie He’s ear, “Do you like it? I think it suits you very well.”


Xie He’s face paled.


Saj couldn’t help but laugh. He held Xie He and said with a smile, “I really like it.”


………………………………………………………………


From then on, Xie He acted very compliant and obedient. No matter what Saj brought him, he ate it. He would also cooperate out of his own will when Saj ‘enjoyed’ his body, as if he had lost all will in resisting.


Meanwhile, Saj treated him very well.


Some time passed in this manner. Saj loosened the watch over Xie He. Sometimes, he would leave the cage unlocked when he left, as if he wasn’t afraid that Xie He would escape.


【Xie He:Ai, what a beautiful life. I’m a bit reluctant to ruin it.】


【444:(⊙v⊙) Mn.】


【Xie He:But it’s about time I act a bit stubborn. I can’t neglect either my sex life or the Favourability Value.】


【444:……】


Today, when Xie He woke up, he noticed that Saj had already left. The cage was left unlocked. He had already gotten a good idea of Saj’s patterns. In the daytime, he was probably still playing the City Lord. At night, he would come back to see Xie He.


Xie He forcefully pulled off the earrings and other accessories off himself, throwing the bloodied jewelled accessories onto the ground. He then walked out of the golden bird cage and climbed the tree, bringing Amakiir down.


Amakiir looked at Xie He’s body, eyes reddening. She felt at a loss for what to do. She herself only wore one layer of clothes so she couldn’t lend anything to him.


Xie He, however, acted very calmly. The long-term humiliation had raised his tolerance. Right now, escape was most important. Moreover, Amakiir…had already seen everything that was to be seen. Right now, what would be the point in hiding anything?


He said in a low voice, “We can leave from the back.”


They secretly headed to the back. After some time, they saw patrolling personnel. The workers had already received the City Lord’s orders to never enter the central garden. Therefore, they only patrolled its perimeters. Because things had been too peaceful, they were not very vigilant.


Xie He knocked out one of the guards and donned the guard’s clothes. He then took Amakiir out to escape.


Because the guards of the City Lord’s mansion were just ordinary human warriors, with Xie He lurking in the shadows and Amakiir’s light magic, the two of them were able to escape successfully.


Seeing that they were about to leave the city, Xie He said to Amakiir, “You leave first. I will follow after.”


Amakiir looked at Xie He, not understanding him. She said, “Why?”


Xie He’s gaze sharpened. He had a bad premonition. Everything had gone too smoothly, so smoothly that it seemed unreal. What that demon loved the most was toying with others’ hearts. This was probably a trap.


If the two of them were together, no one would be able to escape. But as long as one person escaped, there would always be hope.


Saj only wanted him.


But Xie He could not tell Amakiir that. He smiled at her gently, “I suddenly remembered something. You go first. I’ll follow soon. Don’t worry.”


Amakiir really trusted Xie He and did not doubt him at all. She was just reluctant to part with him.


Xie He’s expression turned serious. “Go quickly.”


Only then did Amakiir not dare to tarry. She left the city speedily.


Xie He stared at Amakiir’s departing back. He didn’t leave the city. Instead, he turned back, shuttling through cramped alleys. The alleys here were complicated and there were many people around. It was very difficult to find someone.


Xie He found an abandoned house to rest for a night. When he was certain that Amakiir must have already gone far away, he headed towards the city gates the next day.


However, as soon as Xie He exited the city gates, he caught sight of Saj clad in black robes. He was standing there waiting for him and beaming at him.


Xie He felt his heart sink. Indeed, everything had all been a trap.


Saj reached out a hand, standing far away from him, his pale palm facing upwards. “Come here, my elf.”


Xie He took a step back, a ridiculing smile on his face. At the very least, Amakiir had escaped…. He said, “I don’t belong to you. I am free.”


Saj looked at him. Truly pigheaded…but that’s what made him so attractive.


Why don’t you continue pretending? Is it so frightening to drown yourself in pleasure? As long as you are willing to obey me, I can grant your any wish.


He strolled over to Xie He. With every step he took, the air became even more oppressive. Xie He had to do his best so as to not fall to his knees. He stared at Saj with bright, stubborn emerald eyes.


Saj grabbed Xie He by the neck, pulling him over to him. He breathed into his ear, “You cannot escape.”


Xie He said coldly, “So what? You can rot my body but never my heart.”


Saj’s eyes turned cold.


He seized Xie He and took him back to the City Lord’s residence.


Saj threw Xie He back into the cage. His gaze fell on the pile of bloodied accessories on the ground. For the first time, his dark eyes that always looked down on the world with ridicule had anger in them.


This was the first time he had longed for something and had used up so much patience like this…. But the elf went against him time and time again. He even dared to play such a trick on him.


He wanted to leave him…how could that be allowed?


【Ding, the target Saj’s Favourability Value +5. The current Favourability Value is 80.】


A cold smile played out on Saj’s lips. He looked down at Xie He and said, “Since you’re so determined, then you should pay more on behalf of your race. I really look forward to just how far you’ll go….”


“Moreover, I believe that you will certainly come to my side out of your own free will one day.”


He lifted his hand up and a scene played out in midair.


Amakiir had already left the city and reconvened with the Elves, having followed the marks they had left behind. What made her delightedly surprised was that Thamior, with whom they had lost touch, had returned. He proved Xie He’s innocence to Elder Mileya, and explained that it was Joshua who had released the darkness and plotted against them. Xie He had never betrayed them.


Mileya did not believe him, because there was no way to explain the dark energy in Xie He’s body. However, Amakiir had been able to give them an explanation. She told the Elves that Xie He had endured torment and humiliation for the sake of their race. He was not willing for any of this to happen. It was possible that he had already been enduring this silently for a long time. It was just that he had never told anyone, because nobody would believe him.


Xie He had never Fallen voluntarily!


Because of Thamior and Amakiir’s words, the others finally believed in Xie He. They had found out the truth. Since Xie He had never betrayed them, they could not give up on him!


Amakiir had waited for a whole night, but Xie He did not come. She was afraid that Xie He had been captured and realized that Xie He must have sacrificed himself again for her sake.


Therefore, the elves discussed coming back to save Xie He. The goal was the City Lord’s residence!


When Xie He saw this, he felt anxious. He could not stop it!


Saj waved his hand, causing the image to disappear. He held Xie He and chuckled in his deep voice, “Such stupid, loyal elves. Are you happy? They didn’t choose to abandon you.”



Eve:…Let’s take a guess what the ‘chains’ on his body are. Where else can you pierce…. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


sere: oof…. Yikes. Also this level of blackmail is inSANE YIKES.
