Chapter 35: Conflict

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Siebel looked around. However, Li Tianxiang was immersed in his dream of growing more crops on the farm, so he didn’t notice it.

“If that’s the case, why waste your energy to remove the curse? After all, it will naturally be lifted after waiting for a while.”

Li Tianxiang frowned. For Siebel, this period of time might not be too long, but for Li Tianxiang, it was a little too long.

After all, from the execution just now, if he didn’t become one of the top farms, he might end up like those two.

Thus, Li Tianxiang decided to try to help Siebel remove the curse as soon as possible. However, this was not an urgent matter, so he did not tell her about this.

He just nodded and asked her to call Sal over.

The top priority was the situation around the farm.

Siebel looked at Li Tianxiang, who was deep in thought, and smiled. She agreed and left the shabby medical building.

Soon, Li Tianxiang heard voices arguing outside the door.

In particular, he heard Sal’s voice. His voice was so loud and penetrating that it was hard for Li Tianxiang to imagine that this guy previously looked like he was about to die.

“Whether you like it or not, if you want to make the house that you mentioned, build it yourself!”

“Why, why, why! If you don’t want to eat, then forget it. Save some money for the boss!”

“Dirty? What… bullshit! Do you understand farming? That’s how farming is!”

Li Tianxiang rubbed his temples that were swollen from the noise and finally saw Sal’s tall figure squeeze into the medical building.

Behind him were Siebel, who was covering her ears, as well as Linné and a few small elves, who were watching the show helplessly.

Those little elves were really too short. Furthermore, Sal was considered tall among the orcs. Thus, when the little elves jumped up, they only reached the height of Sal’s knees.

It made Li Tianxiang think of a saying — jumping up and touching one’s knees.

“Stop arguing!”

Li Tianxiang’s voice was not loud, but Sal immediately shut his mouth. He even covered his mouth and looked terrified.

Meanwhile, Li Tianxiang was amused by this.

“What’s going on?”

Seeing that Sal was about to speak again, Li Tianxiang closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows. Then, he pointed at Lin Nai.

“Sal, don’t speak first. Linné, speak.”

Linné coughed awkwardly and bowed slightly.

“It’s not a big deal. These children are just not used to living in this environment.”

Li Tianxiang thought about Sal’s roar that he heard just now, as well as the Western Fantasy World.

Even in such poverty-stricken circumstances, Linné once lived in a dilapidated aristocratic villa in the lower district. Thus, Li Tianxiang roughly understood what had happened.

He raised his eyebrows and said to the kids who looked younger than him in a displeased tone.

“I’m sure you all know I brought you here so you can work, not enjoy your lives.”

Seeing Li Tianxiang’s angry look, Linné panicked and quickly explained.

“Mr. Li, we’re already very satisfied with our current living environment. However, the pursuit of elegance is engraved in the souls of the elves, so…”

“Tsk!”

Li Tianxiang clicked his tongue in disdain, causing Linné to be unable to continue. Upon seeing his puzzled expression, Li Tianxiang became even more furious.

“What elegance? People will only understand etiquette once they have enough food. We don’t even have adequate food and clothing now, yet you’re thinking of this question? The pursuit of elegance is engraved in your souls? Who are you trying to fool?! I’m not afraid to tell you that Sal and the others are my first batch of employees. Your houses, food, and even the things you use are all earned by their hard work in farming. Are you looking down on them? You don’t deserve it!”

“Do you know what it means when they say that ‘those who work the hardest are the most beautiful’?”

Sal was stunned for a moment. Even Siebel was a little stunned. She blinked and looked at Li Tianxiang curiously.

After all, in their previous world, orcs represented evil and vulgarity.

Furthermore, the orcs fought with humans, while the elves were a noble and elegant race in the eyes of humans. Thus, once the two races engaged in conflict, there was no need to mention who humans would support.

As a result, Siebel didn’t expect Li Tianxiang to take the orcs seriously. He even said that they were more beautiful than the elves. It was unbelievable.

Linné didn’t expect Li Tianxiang to say this either. However, he wasn’t angry. Instead, he started thinking about his words, that those who work the hardest were the most beautiful. He was a little lost in thought.

However, the little elves couldn’t stand it any longer. They opened their mouths to retort.

Li Tianxiang sneered and put their words back into their mouths before they could even speak.

“Do you want to say that I’m wrong? In that case, go build your own house, then go farm and find food by yourselves. Finally, try not to rely on Linné to live. As long as you can persist for two days, I’ll let Sal apologize to you. If you can’t, then obediently apologize to Sal and me!”

“Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to work hard yourself. Apologize to Sal now, but don’t be picky about your life in the future!”

Upon hearing Li Tianxiang’s words, a small, short-haired male elf was the most furious. His little face flushed red, and he turned around and left.

Upon seeing him leave, almost all the little elves left with him, leaving only two timid girls in the room.

Linné wanted to chase after the boy at the sight of this, but Li Tianxiang stopped him.

“Do you know why in your original world, even if you worked so hard, you still lived such a hard life? If you don’t let these children suffer, they won’t understand that those who don’t work cannot eat.”

Lin Nai fell silent. In the end, he let out a long sigh but did not look for those children. It seemed like he approved of Li Tianxiang’s actions.

“Don’t worry, I won’t really make them unable to live. It’s only for two days. Besides, even if I didn’t allow them to live, would you not have taken care of them?”

Linné smiled awkwardly. He was originally prepared to share some of his food with the children tonight.

“However, you must know that I will only give you the portion that you earned through labor. It is up to you how you deal with it, but I will not give you more.”

Of course, Li Tianxiang knew that not giving food to those who had not worked was essentially an act of the capitalists to exploit the remaining value of their workers.

However, he was already a farm owner and could be considered a landlord. However, he was too civilized to exploit the remaining value of his employees.

Linné nodded and agreed to Li Tianxiang’s plan. He had always trusted him.

Seeing that he had stopped talking, Li Tianxiang turned to look at the two remaining girls.

One of them looked about eight or nine years old. However, she already had a head of long golden hair.

Her hair was almost touching the ground. It was glowing under the sunlight that shone through the window..
