Number One Ugly Husband

7. Lord Bao

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

After Tang Kaiji left, Bao Ye searched the ugly slave’s memory for all friends of him, but unfortunately, there was no one with the surname of Bao, or anyone who looked like him.

However, Tang Kaiji ever told him that he looked like his grandpa, and his mother was a real goddess. She met his father, a semi-god, in the Lower World in 2018. They fell in love and gave birth to him. But shortly after he was born, his parents both died.

His foster father seldom referred things about his parents. He treated them like a taboo, and he even never told him their names. Not until Tang Kaiji deceased and Bao Ye worked in the Upper World, he got the chance to hear the gods talking about his mother. It was said that his mother was a fairy from Zisang Family, called Zisang Yanruo. But due to his father’s major crime, the whole Zisang Family was slaughtered by the prime god.

Perhaps it was because of his father’s crime, the gods didn’t even dare to say his father’s name. No matter how he tried to trap them into speaking, they refused to say his name, and only referred him as “that man”.

Except for this, his foster father rarely mentioned his other bros, only when he missed his early slave years, he may tell him the stories in the salve era in detail.

“Little bro, you haven’t told me your name.” Lao Liu’s words cut Bao Ye’s memory.

“Bao Ye.” He uttered his real name subconsciously.

Lao Liu stunned, “Bao…Ye?” (Here Lao Liu mistook his last name “烨” for “爷”, the latter means master or lord, so Lao Liu thought he called himself Lord Bao, so he was surprised.)

Hearing the familiar calling, Bao Ye couldn’t help to laughing out. Since his bros always called him so, he didn’t correct Lao Liu.

Recalling his bros, Bao Ye’s eyes were instantly darkened. He raised his eyes, staring at the sky above the head without emotions.

“Your name is so…” Lao Liu laughed as he thought his name was a bit funny, then he said, “Actually, I know who you are, and I have also heard words about you.”

Bao Ye raised his eyebrows, “So why did you ask my name?”

“I only know that you are called ugly slave, but I don’t know your real name. I know your big brother, his name is Jin Lingrui, the boss of the South District of Gong City. He is very capable, some owners even fear of his power. People all say that he has already reached the standard of entering the Middle World. The only reason he chose to stay is you.” Lao Liu said enviously, “You’ve got a very good big brother.”

Bao Ye didn’t reply him since he was not the ugly slave.

But the name Jin Lingrui was a little bit familiar to him. He seemed to have heard it somewhere.

Lao Liu showed Bao Ye around the construction site. The site covered 50 thousand mu’s land (mu is a unit of measurement, on mu equals to 666.66 square meters), with numerous slaves carrying heavy stuff to and fro. Their skin was burned to carbon black by the sun, with sunburn on their back. Their lips were dried and cracked, but the deacon refused to give them water.

Some female slaves worked carrying their kids on their back. The kids could not stand the heat and cried loudly, the fretful deacon gave her a whip violently, which made the kid cry even louder.

Bao Ye frowned at the scene.

Lao Liu sighed. Driving for a round and picking garbage in several spot, he took Bao Ye back to the health department, waiting for their dinner delivered.

The dinner for the health department included one meal dish, one vegetable dish and a bowl of soup, which overwhelmed his lunch: a bowl of water and a steamed bun.

After the dinner, Bao Ye got on the large truck to the hut. Passing by the factory he worked before, he picked up Du Peng and other slaves.

They all hadn’t had dinner yet, their hungry bellies grumbled successively like a symphony orchestra. One’s stomach grumbled, then the others did too. It seemed that the truck was filled with pigeons, cooing one after another.

Bao Ye could bear no more and laughed out.

All slaves glared at him immediately.

Receiving the roaring rage, Bao Ye narrowed his eyes and thought, since he decided to stay here, the first thing to do was get them tamed.
