I, Altria, only want to rule China.

"Ah!!!" the girl screamed in pain again, tears streaming down her face due to the pain.

The big man was not satisfied with this, he grabbed the girl and threw her to the ground, then took a whip from the side and whipped her. The girl screamed immediately, and the people around did not have any sympathy, but watched the fun and even commented on it.

With a "snap" sound, as the whip continued to hit the girl, a white hand directly grabbed the whip that was hitting the girl.

"What did she do wrong? Why do you treat her like this?" Leah said to the big man with a cold face.

She really couldn't bear to watch it anymore. How could people be so heartless? And that group of people dressed in bright and beautiful clothes were simply a group of cold-blooded demons.

"Miss, this is our Pasha Court's business. If you don't want to get into trouble, you'd better not interfere in our affairs." The big man twitched the whip in his hand, but found that he couldn't pull it back, and his face immediately turned cold. You dare to threaten me?

Liya was also unhappy and said: "Humph, aren't you just a brothel owner? I'm not afraid of you!"

Seeing that Leah looked completely ignorant, the big man frowned and said, "These are the 'slaves' we bought with money. How to deal with them is our business. Miss, you are meddling too much!" The big man emphasized the word "slaves". Slaves have no human rights. It doesn't matter if they are killed at will, let alone beaten.

"I don't care about these rubbish laws. I want this girl. If you are not convinced, you can come up and try." Liya swung the whip rope back and directly hit the big man on the forehead. "Ah!" The big man screamed in pain, covered his face, and stepped back several steps. When he put his hand down, a bloody whip mark was clearly visible.

Liya ignored the other party, but turned around and half-knelt on the ground, helped the girl up, and said softly: "How are you, are you okay?"

The girl just looked at Liya without saying anything, but her hands were tightly grasping Liya's clothes. Perhaps the girl also knew that Liya was the only one who could save her. "How dare you hit me? Brothers, catch this woman!" The big man came back to his senses at this time. The severe pain on his face made him look even more hateful. He didn't care about Liya's identity and directly called the other thugs. At the big man's shout, five or six thugs immediately surrounded him.

Liya seemed to have not seen them. She just gently stroked the little girl's hair and said softly, "I'll take you away from here, okay?"

The little girl looked at Leah's gentle expression and nodded.

The thugs were also angry when they saw that Liya ignored them. The first thug rushed up and punched Liya, without any sympathy. Facing the attacks of these thugs, Liya just snorted coldly, grabbed the thug's fist with one hand, and broke the thug's wrist with a twist. The thug screamed in pain and was kicked in the abdomen by Liya. He directly hit a spectator behind him, and the two fell flat on their faces. Then Liya picked up the little girl with one hand, jumped up, and kicked the thugs who surrounded her one by one, and hit the crowd who had been watching the show from beginning to end. Liya said with a gloating heart: "Do you think there will be no trouble when watching a show? Didn't your family tell you when you were young that you should stand far away when watching, so as not to splash blood on your face?"

Chapter 5 Alice

After knocking down all the thugs, Leah picked up the girl and left immediately.

Looking at Leah's back, the group of people didn't dare to catch up with her at all.

"Oh, in order to avoid so many troubles in the next few days, I can only take care of the aftermath for you." At this time, Merlin, who had been hiding in the dark, saw that the problem was solved, but a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

To be honest, although this kind of thing is infuriating, Merlin will not meddle in it.

After all, for a nightmare tapir, humans are just his daily spice, and he doesn’t care whether humans are good or bad.

Sometimes, for his own bad taste, he might even add insult to injury.

Seeing that she had really escaped from that devil's cave, the girl's tense nerves finally relaxed, but she still didn't speak, just buried her head deeply in Leah's chest.

"It's okay. If you feel tired, just take a nap." Leah patted the girl's back gently. Her soft voice gave the girl a great sense of security. After hearing Leah's words, the girl gradually became accustomed to the sound of her breathing.

Leah brought the girl back to the hotel and put her directly on the bed.

Seeing that the girl was still sleeping, Leah thought for a moment and then lay down beside the girl. When she was about to go to sleep, the voice of the system rang in her mind again.

"Detected that the scene is suitable, the sticker system is activated, please seize this opportunity!"

Hearing this inappropriate voice, Leah immediately became angry!

"WCN MD dog system! It's totally useless!"

If this guy hadn't suddenly appeared, Liya would have forgotten his existence. Now he is actually going to attack a young girl. The system has no morals at all!

Even if I really did it myself, what skills could a young girl give me?

Acting cute?

Liya ignored the system and closed her eyes.

When Liya woke up, it was almost night. The faint smell of sandalwood in the room was not bad, but her body felt a little heavy, as if something was pressing on her.

When Leah opened her eyes, she found that a little girl was lying on her, but there was a sad look on the little girl's face.

After just a moment's thought, Leah remembered what happened this afternoon. She seemed to have saved a little girl and brought her back to the hotel where she was staying.

Thinking of this, Leah decided to get up first.

Leah just moved a little, and this slight sensation made the little girl open her eyes. Seeing Leah looking at her, the little girl's face showed excitement and joy, and a few tears slowly appeared in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry."

Seeing that the little girl was actually crying, Leah was a little flustered and quickly wiped the tears from her face with her fingers.

"She may regard you as her savior or even a relative, after all, you brought her out of that place." At this moment, Merlin heard the voice and pushed open the door of the room. He smiled slightly when he saw the scene inside.

When Leah heard this, she looked at the little girl's eyes, which already showed a look of dependence on her, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What a lovely little girl. She will definitely be a beautiful lady when she grows up~" Merlin looked at the little girl who kept sticking to Leah, and a smile appeared on his face.

He immediately reached out and wanted to touch the little girl's hair.

The little girl immediately showed a nervous look, and when she saw Merlin's hand getting closer, she bit Merlin's hand, then let go after Merlin felt the pain, and hugged Leah tightly again, burying her face in Leah's arms.

"Woo woo, she actually bit me!"

Merlin looked at the two teeth marks on his wrist and immediately cried out in dismay. He just wanted to show some kindness, but he got bitten.

Leah ignored Merlin. After thinking for a while, she pushed the girl in her arms away a little. Seeing the girl suddenly become nervous, she asked softly, "Can you tell me your name? Where are your family members?"

The little girl had a sad look on her face when she heard that, but she still tried to say, "My name is Alice. My family was killed by a group of robbers."

Listening to the little girl's words, Leah sighed softly. She had been thinking that if the little girl's home was nearby, she would send her back. But now she thought that there was nowhere to go.

"What are you going to do with this little girl?" Merlin asked.

Although this little girl is still young, after experiencing such things, she should have more or less understood her situation.

"This..." Leah also lowered her head and began to think.

"Miss, please don't let me leave. Please don't sell me out." Alice's eyes immediately turned red when she heard this, and she held Leah's hand tightly.

Seeing Alice's nervous expression, Leah was also a little surprised, but soon she smiled softly: "How much do you weigh? Even if you are sold as meat, you won't get much. Forget it, you should just follow me for the time being."

"Okay, Master...Master." After hearing what Leah said, the expression on Alice's face relaxed a little. As long as she was not sold, she would just stay by her master's side.

"Master? You don't have to call me that. Just call me sister. Just be my younger sister." Upon hearing this, Leah shook her head.

She hated this slave-owner-like title.

"Sister?" Alice was a little shocked. Why was this young lady so kind to commoners like them? Looking at the appearance of this sister in front of her, she was so beautiful. She must be a noble, right?

"Well, that's it." Leah nodded.

"Why?" Alice still didn't understand.

"Because I think people should not be divided into different levels, everyone is equal, so I plan to build such a world in the future, so you can be my sister." Leah said, gently holding Alice's hand.

Although Alice didn't understand what Liya meant, she felt less uneasy. But as a commoner, was she really qualified to be a sister to this young lady?

Alice secretly looked at Leah, and when Leah saw Alice's look, she also smiled gently.

Looking at Leah's reassuring smile, Alice also felt a lot more secure and warm in her heart.

Leah also had her own considerations about adopting Alice.

This society is too unfriendly to women, they are almost like commodities. Leah doesn't have time to consider a family and then join Alice with them.

Chapter 6 Three People on the Road

So it is better to adopt Alice. The most important thing is that Leah wants to find something for Merlin to do. This is Leah’s real purpose.

This guy was always running around there, so Leah planned to let Alice follow him all the time, become his little tail, and ruin his "good deeds" whenever she could!

She is really a good disciple who respects her teacher!

A few days later, on a merchant ship.

"Magic is a power that everyone has. It exists in everything, but few people are able to discover its existence..."

In a room, Merlin is teaching Alice how to acquire knowledge of magic.

Alice looked confused, but she still tried hard to understand these things, because she knew Merlin was teaching her something very important.

Fortunately, Merlin is a relatively patient teacher, or he finally found a hint of what it means to be a teacher from Alice.

God has mercy on him. When he taught Liya, she always sneered at what he taught. And Liya was willing to learn something, but she could only learn it at a glance. This made him very sad and he didn't feel any pleasure as a teacher.

Now seeing Alice's clumsy look, he realized that this was what a normal disciple was like, which made him very happy to explain to Alice all the things she didn't understand.

Leah glanced at Merlin and Alice, then left the room, intending to go out for some fresh air. She had been stuck in the cabin for the past two days and felt a little uncomfortable.

Coming onto the deck and smelling the fresh air outside, Leah's mood finally improved a lot.

Some merchants and nobles in the cabin did not come forward to talk to Leah when they saw her.

After all, what happened two days ago is still vivid in her mind. A short-sighted noble wanted Leah to play with him, and Leah did play with him, but she just gave him a full body massage.

This also led to other people, when they saw Leah, they would quickly stay away from her to avoid getting into trouble.

Leah was also happy and at ease. If she wasn't afraid of trouble, she would have thrown these disgusting nobles into the sea to feed the fish.

It will still take a few days to reach the continent, but it would be too boring to stay on this ship all the time.

After standing outside for an hour, Leah returned to the room. At this time, Alice was already there, feeling the magic with her eyes closed under Merlin's guidance.

Seeing Leah come in, Merlin smiled at her, but Leah ignored him, just sat down on the bed and closed her eyes.

It's not like she was meditating or anything; it wasn't necessary for her.

Her body is a combination of human and dragon, and she has a strong adaptability to magic. Even if she does nothing, she can absorb the magic from the outside world on her own.

And this efficiency is much faster than meditation.

a few days later.

Suddenly, a loud cry of "Wow!" was heard in a very quiet deep mountain, startling countless birds and making them fly into the air.

The person who made the wow sound was a young man with a smirk on his face, and next to him was a pretty little girl about seven or eight years old, and next to the little girl was a girl dressed like a knight.

Facing Merlin's shout, Alice's expression was full of helplessness, "Merlin, you idiot!"

The young man, whom Alice called Merlin, smiled and said, "Little Alice, don't be so serious. It's just that you got lost. What's there to worry about?"

"Humph!" Alice wrinkled her pretty nose after hearing Merlin's words and said, "It's all because of you that you insisted on going to the mountains and forests and said the scenery was beautiful? In the end, you got lost. When will you grow up?"

Leah at the side burst out laughing when she heard this. It was really funny that Merlin was asked by a little girl when he would grow up.

Even Leah couldn't help herself after hearing Alice's words.

But Merlin didn't pay attention to Alice's words. He just smiled and looked at the surrounding forest scenery.

Then he looked at Alice who was tearing her mouth and didn't want to pay attention to him and asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch, little Alice?"

When Alice heard that it was time for lunch, her eyes suddenly lit up. She thought about it for a while before saying, "I want to eat meat."

"Little Alice said she wanted to eat meat. I'll leave it to you, Leah!" It was Merlin who asked the question, but he ended up throwing it to Leah. What a good master!

However, Leah didn't care about this problem, but looked into the forest.

"Meat." It can be said that the thing that is most abundant in this forest is meat, especially the pheasants in the forest, which are easily caught by Leah.

After Leah cleaned the chicken, she found a large leaf, wrapped it with soil, and placed it on the ground.

Looking at Alice and Merlin's surprised expressions, Leah smiled slightly. Maybe only she would know how to do this?

Leah looked for some branches and dead leaves around, and then a fireball appeared in her hand. She threw it at the leaves and branches that had been used as firewood on the ground, and it began to burn.

Half an hour later, Leah broke open the soil that had been burned as hard as stone, revealing the extremely tender chicken inside.

The smell of chicken spread all around and wafted through the forest. After smelling the fragrance, Alice and Merlin couldn't help but drool.

In just a short while, the three of them finished a roast chicken, but Merlin felt that it was not enough and wanted to continue eating. Looking at a group of geese flying in the sky, he directly shot down a group of them.

Leah on the side couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. What a plucking of feathers from a passing goose. You are worthy of being Merlin. This kind of thing can only be left to you! Only you can really do it.

However, Leah herself felt that she was not full, so most of the geese shot down by Merlin ended up in Leah's stomach.

After finishing lunch, it was time to think about how to get out of the forest. Alice started complaining to Merlin again.

"Alice, I will teach you how to get out of the forest if you get lost in the forest." At this time, Leah spoke from the side.

Merlin and Alice looked at Leah curiously.

Liya naturally had her own way of finding her way. She looked at the two of them, pointed at the leaves and said, "You can tell the direction between north and south from the dense leaves, as well as... the position of the sun in the sky. At night, you can look at the position of the North Star, etc."

After Leah told me a lot of ways to find the direction, I found a few branches and after identifying the direction, I knew where to go.

They are currently in the Netherlands. They need to pass through Poland, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and then enter Xinjiang to reach China.
