Chapter 94: Slave Market (Part 3)

  "Uh... Young Master, are you really going to buy them?" Chen Pangzi looked at Wu Yeyu's serious expression and immediately realized he had misspoken, so he quickly changed his words.

  "Hmm, these two are indeed in a precarious situation. But, as I recall, they were also military officers before, and had even led troops into battle, having experienced the battlefield firsthand. That we were able to capture them this time... honestly! Apart from their severe injuries, it seems that there was also some internal collusion with their own countrymen, intentionally trying to sabotage them. Otherwise, given these two's abilities, haha, it would be unlikely for them to become slaves. Such characters are truly hard to come by. And on top of that, we had to transport them all the way from the border... the cost of the journey and food..."

  "Cut the crap! I'm asking you to name a price! Who told you to give me all this nonsense? I asked you, how much are these two slaves worth who are almost dead?" Wu Yeru looked at the fat man in front of him with annoyance, suddenly having an urge to jump up and kick his face.

  "Hehehe, young master, don't be in a hurry. How about this? I'll put the two of them together for you, and it'll only cost 5,000 taels of gold. What do you think?" Chen Baozi said with a smile, his eyes narrowed to just a slit, but shining brightly inside, with an expression that seemed to say "I'm going to cheat you out of your money".

  Wu Yeyu's mouth twitched, almost choking to death, but instead burst out laughing, and then laughed loudly. Chen Baozi's face stiffened, also following along with a forced smile. After finally managing to stop the laughter, Wu Yeyu's expression turned cold, his face stern as he said: "Boss Chen is quite calculating! Alright... these two slaves may have had extraordinary identities before, and indeed had some cultivation on them. But now they're almost dead, one of them looking like he's about to run out of breath. And you're telling me that at this time, they're worth 5,000 taels of gold?"

  "How could I not have seen it, Old Master Chen is really generous with his spending! Hmph! Since you like these two slaves so much, then just keep them for yourself. As for the goods behind, we won't bother looking at them either. It seems that even someone of my status can't afford to buy a few, huh? Little Peach, let's go!" He stretched out his arm and wrapped it around Little Peach's waist as they walked away.

  "Master! Master, don't be in a hurry! There's something to discuss, we have things to talk about! I'm not waiting for you to haggle over the price, am I? This is how business is done, isn't it? The process of bargaining is indispensable!" Chen Baozi immediately followed up, holding onto Wu Yeyu and persuading him with a smile on his face.

  Wu Ye raised an eyebrow, spat out a mouthful of water in disdain, and then said: "Boss Chen, I'll make it clear to you today. Those two people are indeed the ones I'm interested in, but I, the young master, will only offer 100 taels of gold at most. This is my highest price. If you're willing, we can still discuss this deal today, and the slaves I want to buy will definitely not be left out. If you're not willing, then I'll immediately go to another household. I don't believe that in this slave market, with so many merchants around, buying a few slaves would be enough to let you cheat me. Just say it straight, are you agreeing or not?"

  After finishing speaking, Wu Yeru shook his hand and flung away Chen Pangzi's hand that was grasping his arm. He slanted his eyes and stared at the chubby face in front of him, waiting for an answer.

  "100 taels of gold? Hmm, this is not enough, young master. Can you add a bit more for me, Chen Baozi? Otherwise, we really won't even have enough to cover our travel expenses!" Chen Baozi's eyes darted back and forth a few times before he quickly spoke with a sorrowful face.

  "Transportation fee!? Alright, stop pretending! You must have made a lot of money from the 100 taels, otherwise you wouldn't even have that in a few days. Besides, did you really travel all this way just to transport those two slaves? Can you give me a straight answer? My time is precious, I don't have time to waste on nonsense with you!"

  "Ah... alright! Chen Baozi, I'll introduce you to this friend today! You said 100 taels, so it's 100 taels then! Of course, that's gold we're talking about. Wait for me, I'll go get the receipt right away!" It seemed like Chen Baozi was afraid Wu Yeru would change his mind, and also afraid that the two slaves would die in his hands at this moment. After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran off, his fat body disappearing from their sight after a few shakes.

  "Young master, it seems like you've been ripped off. That fat boss must have made a pretty penny." Little Peach said to Wu Ye Yu at this time, apparently having discovered the inappropriateness of the situation.

  Wu Yeyu smiled at Xiaotao and said, "It's okay, I think this money was well spent."

  After finishing speaking, he pulled her to the side of the cage, bent down and was about to say something when the other slaves in the cage, possibly former soldiers, immediately moved over to block Wu Ye Yu's line of sight. Although their bodies were weak and frail, their eyes were filled with vigilance.

  In this case, Wu Ye Yu also didn't mind, smiling and saying: "Don't worry, even if I bought the two of you, I wouldn't think to order them around like slaves. Besides, I'm doing this for their own good. Otherwise, with their injuries, I estimate that in another three to five days they won't be able to hold on. At that time, it would be you who harmed them."

  Those slaves thought for a moment, hesitated, and moved away, revealing the young thousand-household chief named Yu Hu. The young man opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't speak, while the older one had long since lost consciousness and remained in a daze.

  Just then, Old Man Chen appeared, holding a receipt in his hand and accompanied by two young servants. He walked up to Wu Ye Yu with a smile on his face, handed over the receipt, and said: "Young Master, this is the receipt. From now on, these two slaves will be yours. Hmm, as long as you give me 100 taels of gold, we'll consider it settled, heh heh heh, what do you say?"

  "Alright, you're afraid I won't pay up, take it!" Wu Yeru looked at the boss's expression and naturally knew what he was thinking, so he took out a 100-tael gold note and handed it to him.

  "What's wrong with these slaves of yours? Can't they speak? Did you feed them something that made their bodies go bad?"

  Mr. Chen put away the silver ticket with a smile and looked at Wu Ye Yu with even more respect, and when he heard Wu Ye Yu's question, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "How can that be? They were just given a secret technique by the Secret Technique Master. You know, there are so many slaves here, if they could speak freely, it would be noisy to death, and it would affect the buyer's mood later. Hehehe, since you don't like it, I'll undo it for him."

  The fatty finished speaking, and with a wave of his hand to the two people behind him, they nodded in understanding and immediately took out their keys to unlock the cage. They casually pushed aside the several soldiers blocking the way, and then dragged out the two people he had bought.

  "Hey! You two, be careful! It seems like you've bought them and now you don't care about them anymore, huh?" Wu Yeru shouted, looking at the two men's rough hands and feet.

  Those two young men hastened to respond after hearing the words, carefully lifting the two injured people out and placing them on the ground, then locking the door with a casual hand.

  At this time, Chen Pangzi took out a bottle from his bosom, opened the stopper and let Yu Hu and Yu Qianshan smell it.

  Zhuan Du said to Wu Ye Yu: "Young master, this is the antidote that can lift the secret technique. As long as they smell it, they will be able to speak. Moreover, they have also been cast with weakening and servant spells. The former will make their whole body weak, while the latter will make them obey the owner of this token. You take it, I'll remove the weakening spell from their bodies."

  Chen Pangzi finished speaking and handed two tokens to Wu Yeru, who played with them for a while before throwing them into the storage space. He thought that when he got back, he would still use his own slave system to make another insurance policy, after all, this secret technique was too mysterious in Wu Yeru's eyes and not very reliable.

  At this time, the fat man took out another bottle and circled it around the two people's heads. A slightly pungent smell appeared in the air, and Wu Yeyu subconsciously held his breath, not daring to smell the odor, who knew if this thing was harmful to the body or not.

  All he saw was that with Chen Baozi's efforts, the thousand-year-old Yu Hu had recovered at this time, at least he could move on his own. He supported himself and struggled to sit up, then grabbed Wu Yeyu's leg and said weakly: "Please...please save my father...he's dying soon, as long as you save my father, Yu Hu will be your servant for the rest of his life."

  The scene before her eyes was unbearable, and the little peach was tightly grasping Wu Ye Yu's clothes, with a sympathetic expression. After hearing this, Wu Ye Yu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, your father won't die."

  Then Wu Yeyu took out a jade bottle, poured out a few low-grade healing pills from it, squatted down and stuffed them into Yu Hu's mouth, instructing him to rest assured.

  Wu Ye Yu poured out a few more, walked to Yu Qian Shan's side, supported him up, pried open his mouth and fed them to him. After thinking for a moment, he took out a jade bottle, poured out a few low-grade inner energy pills and fed them to him as well. Then he took out a glass bottle filled with red liquid, which was the low-grade healing medicine water, and similarly forced it down Yu Qian Shan's throat.

  At this time, without mentioning others, even Yu Hu's gaze was stunned, staring blankly at the bottle in Wu Ye Yu's hand. For a moment, he forgot to speak and didn't notice that his injuries had improved significantly. Even his pale face showed a few strands of healthy color, and his hands and feet gradually regained their strength.

  Wu Yeru stood up after doing all this, and casually threw the empty bottle in his hand. With a crisp sound, the glass bottle rolled to one side.

  Next to him, Chen Pangzi and Xiao Si were already stunned, watching Wu Yeyu's busy figure, their foreheads were already filled with black lines, looking at the bottles still rolling on the ground, Chen Pangzi secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face showing reverence, saying.

  "Hey, young master, this medicine must be worth a lot of money, right? Even if it's just an entry-level treatment pill, that's still something very valuable. You're giving it to two slaves like that?"

  Wu Yeru was taken aback for a moment, then placed his hands on his hips, raised his chin and said to Chen Baozi: "What a waste! These elixirs were all refined by me myself, don't I know their value? Besides, since I can afford to buy them, they are mine now, what's the point of talking about waste?"
