Moved by pity, Lai Jianlin wanted to buy the two women and set them free.
“Lai Jianlin, you need to think this decision through.
Do you know who they are?”
Luo Yaxuan looked at the two women and recognized at a glance that they were from the Blood Clan of a foreign country.
It was unclear why they had been captured by an organization and sold to serve as female slaves.
Though it was cruel, this was the Cultivation World where the strong were revered and the weak could be bullied.
“I don’t know, but something is compelling me to set them free.”
“They are from the Blood Clan of a foreign country, and their cultivation practice is different from ours.
If they can be of use, then it wouldn’t be a bad idea to buy them to work as female slaves.
However, their auction price won’t be low.”
“Blood Clan?”
“Yes, the cultivation technique they practice is different from ours, and these two female slaves have relatively low levels of cultivation.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Lai Jianlin didn’t know why the voice inside his heart was urging him to purchase these two female slaves.
The price could be quite high, but if they could work for his family for a lifetime, it would be worthwhile.
“Tsk tsk, Junior Brother, you’re too kind-hearted.” Mo Wen had no such intentions; being so poor, he had come here just for fun and didn’t dare to bid on anything.
Lai Jianlin smiled faintly, not explaining why he was adamant about buying these two women, and picked up his placard to join in the bidding.
“Ten medium Spirit Stones.”
The starting price for the female slaves was two for one medium-grade Spirit Stone, with one medium-grade Spirit Stone being equivalent to ten low-grade Spirit Stones.
It sounded relatively cheap, but that was just the starting bid, no different from any other female slave auction.
“Fifty medium Spirit Stones.”
Others began to outbid each other, driving the price higher.
The Cultivation World was full of wealthy people, and some were particularly fond of “playing” with such auctions, eager to buy the two female slaves.
“One hundred medium Spirit Stones.” Lai Jianlin’s family was a second-tier clan with plenty of money for him to spend.
Over the years, he had saved up without spending much in the Immortal Sect, and entertaining his friends a few days ago was just a small token.
The money given to Mo Wen was even refunded by the shopkeeper later, so Lai Jianlin had enough to buy one or two female slaves.
He was also considering purchasing some precious gifts.
There were a few young men in the hall, anxiously watching the people on the stage, but not having the money to buy the two women.
“Earl, what should we do?” a Viscount asked anxiously, looking at the two of his own kind in the cage.
They knew these two were not from their encampment, yet were from the same country and belonged to the Blood Clan just like them.
“The security here is too tight, buying them out is impossible, we can only wait for someone to purchase them and then rescue them.”
“It seems that’s the only way.”
The Earl and several young Viscounts, after patrolling for several days, had failed to capture the person who had harmed their encampment.
Later, the Viscount made a request to descend from the mountains and to seek out the adversary.
The Earl was appointed as their team leader, wielding a Magic Wand and guiding them.
The Earl still remembered his Clan Leader father telling him:
“This is fate.
We have hidden ourselves for more than a thousand years, thinking we were safe here, yet we didn’t anticipate someone would violate us.
It’s destiny’s will that we return to the Martial World.”
“Father, what can we do once we leave?” the Earl didn’t understand why his father said this.
“Our country has our own kind.
You and the Viscounts should go out, gather information, and meanwhile unite our kind to oppose those enemies that harm us.”
“Why would they want to harm us?”
“Because the Cultivation Techniques we practice are different from theirs.
Perhaps the techniques we practice are helpful tools for some people’s cultivation.
There are evil beings who abduct our kindred girls to become female slaves, turning them into their playthings.”
“That’s despicable.
I must stop them.”
The Earl and the Viscounts, after a day and night’s journey, arrived at Immortal Venerable City.
They had only taken a brief look around the city when they discovered this place and, out of curiosity, came in to see.
Having spent over a thousand years in the mountains, the wealth left by their ancestors was nearly spent.
The Earl and the Viscounts could only watch as their own kind was auctioned off, feeling helpless and desperate.
“Earl, the bids are getting higher and higher, what kind of people are these?”
“Let’s not be hasty.”
Lai Jianlin finally bought those two foreign women for 1,000 medium-grade Spirit Stones.
After the auctioneer sold the female slaves, he released them from the cage and handed them over to Lai Jianlin.
Although the women were freed from the cage, their hands and feet were still shackled; the seller gave the keys to the shackles to Lai Jianlin.
The fear that the two female slaves felt before, upon seeing that Lai Jianlin was the one who purchased them, stabilized somewhat.
They were in the Illusion Room and couldn’t clearly see the buyer, but since they didn’t sense any malice from him, their panic eased a bit.
“Master, we’ll serve you from now on.”
The female slaves, who spoke a foreign language, didn’t know why, but Lai Jianlin could understand their language.
He took out clothes he used to wear from his Storage Bag and used the key to unlock their chains.
“Put on the clothes.”
“Yes, master,” the female slaves, who had been trained for some time, could understand simple language, though they still couldn’t speak it and continued speaking in their own language.
“Lai Jianlin, if you let them go and they run away, what then?
They’re quite expensive.”
Mo Wen couldn’t believe Lai Jianlin was so wealthy.
Just two female slaves, yet for a thousand medium-grade Spirit Stones.
He dreamed of becoming rich, to bring money home for his family to use.
With that thought, he realized how poor he truly was.
No matter what, he needed to cling to this big leg.
After this competition was over and he had watched it through, he wanted to return to his hometown to have a look.
“It’s fine.
With their current level of cultivation, even if they did run away, it would only show their stupidity.
They’d still end up being captured, because without my permission to release them, the organization would still bring them back.”
Lai Jianlin had thought about releasing them, but hadn’t done so because they hadn’t found a place to settle the women yet.
The two female slaves put on the overly large men’s clothing, transforming the robes into dresses, and stood obediently by Lai Jianlin’s side.
“Master, we are sisters from the same village.
People stormed into our village and took us sisters away to be brought here.
Thank you for taking us in, master.
From now on, we sisters will serve you.”
“Hmm, we’ll talk about this issue later.
Let’s watch the auction.”
Lai Jianlin stopped the female slaves from continuing.
It wasn’t convenient to talk too much in such a public place.
Having bought the female slaves, many people were staring at them now, and many eyes were focusing over here.
“Yes, master.
Thank you for saving us.” The female slaves also felt some leering glances from men and timidly stood by Lai Jianlin’s side.
