"Creak, creak..."
Swaying, Liu Feng opened his eyes. It was pitch-black all around him, covered by a black cloth.
The hard objects at his back felt like several iron bars. He seemed to be inside a large cage.
Outside, he could hear the clopping of hooves and the wheels rolling over the road.
He blinked, quickly grasping the situation.
The very day he'd crossed over.
He'd been kidnapped!
In a horse-drawn carriage!
"I just read Peerless Tang Sect, envied the life there, and prayed to the gods to let me become a transmigrator too. And it actually came true?"
Liu Feng couldn't believe it. Then he sighed.
If only he'd known, he would've wished for a cheat ability too!
Resting his chin on his hand, he considered his situation.
Suddenly, he realized something else unbelievable.
His body had gotten smaller!
And even though it was dark, he could see everything clearly!
He was slender, with short, pale-gold hair that reached his ears and snow-white, luminous skin.
He touched his cheek. Judging from his bone structure, he was definitely incredibly beautiful.
His hand moved upward, feeling long, pointed ears...
"Uh...???"
Liu Feng froze. He didn't seem to be human!
Those ears, and his extraordinary beauty...
A certain race came to mind...
Elves!!!
Were there elves on Douluo Continent?
They had never appeared during the Peerless Tang Sect era!
But elves did exist in the Douluo World—they just lived on other planets!
So he was probably the only elf on Douluo Continent!
Liu Feng's heart pounded. He knew what his cheat was.
It wasn't a system, but his bloodline!
During the Peerless Tang Sect era, a pure-blooded elf's talent would definitely be top-tier!
Just then, two men's voices rang out from outside.
"Knife, once we sell this little girl, we'll have enough to eat and drink for the rest of our lives! What do you want to do after that? Tell Brother Kun."
Brother Kun flicked his whip and laughed.
Knife chuckled. "I want to marry three wives! All of them fat! I'll beat one every day! That way, I won't have to worry about them running away, and taking turns means they can take more of a beating!"
"..."
Brother Kun fell silent.
Liu Feng also said nothing, hurriedly reaching down to check.
Thank goodness, he was a boy.
Still, the fact that people could mistake him for a little girl showed just how beautiful he was.
Now he had to find a way to escape. If he really got sold off as a slave, he'd probably spend his whole life as some noble's canary!
Besides, with his Elf King bloodline, would humans even accept him?
He had to prepare for the worst, especially with a face as beautiful as his.
The human world would be fraught with danger!
"I'm only six, and I haven't awakened my Martial Soul yet!"
"Even with my Elf King bloodline, I might not be able to beat two grown men. I don't even know if they're Soul Masters."
"Anyway, I'd better awaken my Martial Soul first. Then I'll have a chance to fight back—and I can make them turn against each other..."
Liu Feng kept a clear head, thinking through how to break out of this predicament.
At the same time, he could truly sense a hidden force inside him!
If he could summon it...
After an unknown amount of time passed.
The black cloth covering the cage was pulled away.
A fat man with a scarred face leaned over the cage, leering at Liu Feng, practically drooling.
"Little girl, eat your fill. You'll fetch a good price when we sell you."
He tossed two roasted sweet potatoes inside.
Liu Feng picked them up and, without worrying about the heat, peeled and ate them.
As he ate, he studied his surroundings. They were in the wilderness, with a fire burning nearby. The other man, Brother Kun, was roasting a chicken, its skin sizzling.
His eyes shifted. In a low voice, he asked, "There are two of you. How much money will you get to split after selling me?"
Knife tilted his head and thought for a moment. "Half?"
He turned straight to Brother Kun. "Brother Kun, how much will I get to split after we sell this little girl?"
"..."
Liu Feng almost choked.
So this guy really was an idiot!
He'd been trying to sow discord between them, and the idiot had gone and ruined it for him.
Brother Kun brushed the dust off his clothes as he walked over.
"Knife, why are you asking that out of nowhere?"
"You know what kind of man I am, right? Tell me, how much do you want?"
Brother Kun asked with a genial smile.
Knife scratched his head and chuckled.
"Then I want half!"
Knife turned back to Liu Feng and urged, "Eat more! I'll get half..."
Before he could finish, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
A bloodstained blade had pierced through his chest.
"I was just saying it casually, Knife. You really thought you could ask for that much?"
Brother Kun pulled out the blade and spoke coldly.
With a casual shove, he tossed Knife's lifeless corpse aside, his eyes wide open.
"I'd planned to make that fool do more work for me, but he went and got himself killed. You little girl must've put him up to it, right?"
Brother Kun sneered as he slid the blade into the cage and stared at Liu Feng.
"Here. If you don't want to die, lick this blade clean."
Liu Feng looked at him, set down his roasted sweet potato, and took a deep breath.
If he didn't do as he said, he'd probably suffer for it.
"First of all, I'm a boy!"
"What?!" Brother Kun's face changed dramatically. A boy was worth far less!
While he was still stunned, light flashed across Liu Feng's hands.
A long, slender purple bow appeared, crystal-clear and adorned with dark-purple star patterns.
His fingers drew the bowstring at once, and all the dark-purple patterns lit up.
An arrow made entirely of purple energy instantly took shape.
"Whoosh...!!!"
The arrow shot out.
It pierced straight through Brother Kun's chest.
Brother Kun's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked down at the gaping hole in his chest.
"Clang...!"
The blade fell from his hand.
Then, eyes still wide open, he toppled off the carriage!
Watching the two men die one after the other, Liu Feng let out a breath of relief. He drew his bow again and aimed at the lock.
"Clink...!"
The lock dropped with a clatter, shot off its latch.
Liu Feng crawled out of the iron cage and leaped over Brother Kun's body.
He searched the two corpses but found only some dry provisions and Silver Soul Coins.
Not even a Storage Soul Tool!
As expected, they were just ordinary men who happened to be strong.
After untying the reins of a chestnut horse from the carriage, he faced the future, unsure what to do.
"I'm free now, but where should I go?"
"I may have limitless potential, but I'm still only a six-year-old child. I'm also incredibly beautiful, an outsider, and have no one to protect me."
Frowning, Liu Feng rode away from the spot, thinking as he went.
There was no going home...
He didn't even know where he was. He was completely lost!
He hadn't gone far when a Black Tiger, bigger than the carriage, "squeezed" out of the woods.
The chestnut horse froze in place, not making a sound.
"..."
Liu Feng's mouth twitched.
Well, now he knew where he was—and where he needed to go next.
