Douluo 2: Miss Noumenon wants to be the ultimate villain

Chapter 564: Liuhe Fort Liuhe King

In the last era, the year 9986 of the Douluo calendar——

At that time, there was a famine in the Tianhun Empire, and people were starving to death everywhere. Some people even sold their children for a bite of food.

The sun scorched the earth, fertile fields became barren, and a branch of the mother river Tianhun dried up. The riverbed cracked into countless abyss-like holes.

Everything here looks so barren, and many villages have disappeared from the map.

But if we go a hundred miles further east, we will find a city that is still magnificent. That is the Tianhun Empire - Liuhe Fort!

Liuhe Fort was the fief of King Liuhe of the Tianhun Empire, and was considered a noble place. However, it is now in name only.

The dragon bloodline was difficult to inherit, and by the time it was passed down to this generation, it had already become extremely diluted. When its martial spirit was released, it looked like a monster, not even like a dragon.

After declining to this day, Liuhe Palace is left with only one person who has some Taotie bloodline.

The people of Tianhun have long been starving, but the royal family places their hopes on this weak bloodline.

Not only did he allow Liuhe Fort to oppress the people, but he also continuously sent women there to supply the weak, incompetent, yet extremely greedy lineage of the Liuhe King.

The contemporary King of Liuhe is by no means an elite, but he relies on his bloodline to enjoy everything that a king should have.

The King of Liuhe lived a life of drunkenness and dreams. He was constantly having sex with women under the control of the Tianhun royal family all day long, and he enjoyed it very much.

In order to keep this thin Taotie bloodline in Tianhun, King Liuhe forced the woman at will, and the people around him dared not speak out.

All families with daughters kept their doors shut tightly, because once they were spotted by the King of Liuhe, they would be captured and taken to Liuhe Fort, where they would be trampled upon like pigs and dogs, and they would never be able to escape for the rest of their lives.

The high walls of Liuhe Fort trapped the people inside. A fifteen-year-old boy watched carefully as a shiny black crow flew over his head with a caw.

"Little Sixteen, come and have dinner." A beautiful girl lifted the tattered door of her house and greeted her son who was squatting on the wall.

That was when Xuanzi was young. He was not as melancholy as he is now. He was very handsome at a young age and looked exactly like his mother, with his eyes just as bright.

Little Sixteen responded cheerfully and slowly slid down from the wall.

The woman looked at her son's handsome appearance and couldn't help but rub his head. "Little Sixteen, can you go and invite all the aunts around to come over for dinner today?"

"Mother, but I heard from people inside the wall that they are sows." Little Sixteen blinked his eyes and asked simply.

The woman frowned and her voice became stern, "Who taught you to say that? Those are your aunts, understand?"

Although Xiao Shiliu didn't understand, he still nodded. In the end, he only called two or three women who looked haggard.

"Sister Jingshu, I can't bear it any longer." The woman was not even 30 years old, but she had already become emaciated.

There was also a woman who looked less than 20 years old. She was already a little crazy. She took the noodles brought by Xiao Shiliu's mother Jingshu, reached directly into the bowl, grabbed the noodles and put them into her mouth.

This is the outermost part of Liuhe Fort, where a large number of women are kept who can be used for breeding at any time and discarded at any time.

From the nobles in Liuhe Fort to the servants serving inside, everyone calls this place a pigsty, and the women here are all sows.

The woman who was less than 20 years old was so hungry that she heard that she could have a full meal if she came in, but she went crazy after a few days.

Outside, things just don’t go as planned; inside, that’s the real hell on earth!
Jingshu came here earlier than them, and she has experienced more than them, but deep down she is a woman with an extremely tenacious vitality like grass.

Only by entering the innermost high wall of the fortress can food be obtained for the King of Liuhe to enjoy. Jingshu asked for permission for everyone and opened a simple noodle shop here.

Liuhebao doesn't keep idle people, and Jingshu's noodle shop can only charge money, but she has lowered the price to a level that everyone can accept.

The people in the palace seemed to have discovered the irrationality of the original system. With Jingshu's noodle shop opened here, fewer women died, so they began to tolerate this incompatible little shop.

In fact, the noodle shop opened by Jingshu did not make any money at all. She had to use the currency handed over by others to exchange for various food raw materials with people in Liuhe Palace.

Jingshu was a very beautiful woman, and she was different from all the other women here. A few years of living in a pigsty had not dulled the light in her eyes. Her amber pupils were like the sun, emitting a warm glow.

Those who were invited to eat were women who had been abandoned by King Liuhe for too long, and Xiao Shiliu's family would often provide them with support.

Jingshu comforted the other women, "Ayue, let's hold on a little longer. Isn't your child also going to awaken his martial spirit?
No matter what kind of martial soul it is, as long as there is soul power, he will have his own name, and his life should get better. "

None of the children here have names, and Xuanzi is ranked sixteenth, which is enough to show that her mother should be one of the first people to enter here.

Liuhebao was a ring-shaped structure. Most of the useless people were driven to the outermost "pigsty", while the newcomers who were about to be enjoyed by the owner were kept in the place closest to the palace.

That day, a tall guard with a serious face held a 15 or 6-year-old boy in his hand and announced in front of everyone, "Anyone in Liuhe Fort who has dirty hands and feet will end up like this!"

Having said that, he threw the young man in front of everyone, looking as if he was going to beat him to death in public.

"Xiao Shiliu, benevolence is love, go and save that child."

The boy who was helping to knead the dough wiped the flour off his face and said, "Mother, won't this cause you trouble?"

"You are a child of this Liuhe Palace," Jingshu smiled, "no one will dare to hurt you."

"What about you, mother?"

Jing Shu's eyes curved, "With you, Xiao Shiliu, protecting me, what can happen to my mother?"

Xiao Shiliu ran out and stood in front of the young man, "Brother Soldier, please let him go."

The guard's eyes under the armor looked very unhappy. He hated that someone in the "pigsty" dared to challenge his authority. "Get out!"

Little Sixteen grew up in such an environment, which made him mature at his age. "Brother Soldier, if he falls into this place, he has no chance to survive. Why do you have to dirty your hands and add to the sins of killing?"

"Even if I don't let him go, what can you do?" The guard hit the young man with a stick, but he didn't expect that Xiao Shiliu stood in front of him, and a line of blood flowed down from his head.

"Then you can just kill me first." Little Sixteen's gentle eyes were sharpened. "I am the descendant of King Liuhe. My martial soul will awaken soon. If I really awaken my soul power, how will you explain it to me?"

Being stared at by such a child, the guard actually felt a little timid, "Okay, kid, then I'll wait for the day when you enter the palace!"

When Xiao Shiliu returned home, Jingshu immediately took him to treat his wounds. She looked distressed and said, "Child, although a benevolent person loves others, you should love yourself first."

Little Sixteen smiled embarrassedly, "Mother, if I wasn't injured, he probably wouldn't leave so easily. I'm fine, but he is." He looked at the scarred boy he brought back.

After the young man woke up, they found out that the child was a small servant in the palace. Because he stole some food, he was beaten half to death and thrown here.

"So your name is Zhang Peng." Little Sixteen showed an envious look, "It's great that you have your own name."

Zhang Peng is a clever boy, 15 years old this year. When he awakened his soul power, it was less than half level, and he didn’t even have a martial soul.

Up to now, he is still just a soul warrior and has not even reached level 10. Since the day he was rescued by Xiao Shiliu, Zhang Peng has lived with Jingshu's family.

It wasn't long before the time came for the martial spirit to be awakened. Little Sixteen looked at the thing the boy handed to him with some uneasiness, "Brother Zhang Peng, is this thing of yours really okay? After all, I'm not even six years old..."

"Don't worry, this thing of mine works every time. I've seen many people use it. It's guaranteed to block the formation that awakens the martial spirit. Besides, you're only a few months away, right?" Zhang Peng consoled him. "Aunt Jingshu has worked so hard. If you can awaken your martial spirit sooner, won't she be able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering sooner?"

Under Zhang Peng's instigation, Xiao Shiliu went to the awakening ceremony without telling his mother Jingshu.

When Jingshu found out, it was too late. "Xiaopeng, why didn't you stop Xiaoshiliu? I don't ask for any identity, I just hope Xiaoshiliu can be safe. As long as he can have a name, he won't be looked down upon when he travels around the continent in the future."

"Aunt Jingshu, don't you know Xiao Shiliu?" Zhang Peng didn't tell the truth. "He loves you the most, and you have to be dragged down by me. He is so stubborn that he insisted on going no matter what, and I couldn't stop him."

One day, Jingshu stopped working in the noodle shop and ran to the inner circle of the "pigsty", anxiously waiting for her son.

Xiao Shiliu is not even six years old yet. Jingshu is afraid that something has happened to him, but the guards won't let her in no matter what.

In fact, she didn't really want her son to awaken a martial spirit as powerful as Taotie. It would be enough for him to have soul power. As long as he had soul power, he wouldn't have to stay with her in such a place and suffer.
