Chapter 60: She was afraid of pain, despair and numbness
This is a city in the clouds, it floats on the continent, floating among the clouds, but this "high" city is not a place where "sunlight" can shine from every corner.
In this cloud city, people are strictly divided into different levels. And the one who has all the power over Cloud City is naturally the Lord of the White Bone City.
Cloud City is certainly not just a palace in the center of the city, it is where the lord of the city and those who serve him live.
With the palace as the center, the further out of Cloud City becomes, the more dilapidated it becomes, and the lower the status of the people who live there. Living in the outermost circle is naturally the lowest status of slavery in the city, such as Lin Yue.
The girl who refused to accept the painting given to her by the Lord of the White Bone City came here and became one of the lowest slaves.
Here, she has to do many, many of the dirtiest and most tiring jobs every day, is not considered a "person", and has a share of work to be done every day. If the work to be done that day is not done, slavery is punished.
It's just a little bit close. And to tell the truth, at first the girl felt that the work assigned to her was too much, and that it was impossible for her to finish it all every day, so the girl was whipped, and she was beaten with the sharp sting of the whip stained with salt water on her body.
The pain seeped into her flesh, into her bones.
Out of people's instinctive fear of pain, and after Lin Yue got used to it and knew how to finish the day's work as soon as possible, she finally didn't have to be punished like this anymore.
The "qualitative" disparity in strength made her despair...... Despair to numbness. She was scared alive.
What is the ...... changing one's life against the sky? What is the defeat of the strong by the weak? This is something that is simply impossible to do.
If it was a mortal, Lin Yue could still resist. But in the face of the Cloud City City Lord, who was a cultivator, the girl felt deep despair. It was a kind of despair that knew that there was no chance of victory.
It's as if you're stuck in a swamp, and the more you struggle, the deeper you sink.
How many people in this world are like Lin Yue who give up everything in despair because they see the huge gap between themselves and others.
Just give in...... Because it's useless to struggle.
...... In the end, she still couldn't do anything......
Although she has suffered many setbacks in the past, she always subconsciously thinks that she will definitely be able to overcome and escape.
But now, the girl's eyes began to become hollow, she began to become numb, and began to "break down" little by little.
The disparity in power levels is like an ocean. In front of cultivators who have practiced for a hundred years or thousands of years, the power of mortals seems to be so inadequate to see and not to strife.
The girl is like a butterfly in a cage that can easily kill her if the other party wants to.
Fortunately, the girl's adaptability is still very strong, and soon she will be like a mortal born in this cloud city, and she will no longer have to be beaten every day.
Even gradually, she can actually complete the work assigned to her every day, but of course the girl will not show it. Because she knows that if she does it well in advance, there will be more and heavier work waiting for her.
The only thing that should be celebrated is that no one dares to do anything to Lin Yue?
Because those who took care of Lin Yue and their low-level servitudes thought that the girl was the one who was favored by the city lord, and she was let here because she rejected the city lord. They were only half right.
They thought that Lin Yue was favored by the city lord because of her appearance, but this girl was unwilling to serve in Israel, but in fact, of course, it was because of other reasons.
