Not long after the group walked, they arrived in front of a tall octagonal building on Exchange Street.
This building looks very prosperous from the outside, and is incompatible with the surrounding quaint low-rise houses.
Ye Jiuyou saw this tall octagonal building when he entered the street.
In broad daylight, strings of red lanterns like candied haws were hung on the eaves of each floor, and it was difficult for her not to notice.
Ah Da said respectfully: "Miss, this is the place where slaves are bought and sold, let's go in."
Ye Jiuyou looked at the plaque above. There were several big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes. They were vigorous and powerful, revealing an uninhibited style.
"The building outside the building."
Ye Jiuyou read out the name softly and sighed, "It's a very interesting name."
The waiter at the door nodded and said, "Dear guest, please come in! Whatever you want to buy, there will be people inside who will entertain you!"
Ye Jiuyou nodded slightly, gently lifted the hem of her skirt with her jade fingers, stepped up the steps in front of the stairs, and stepped across the high threshold with her legs.
Feixue put the candied haws skewers with only the hawthorn left in them and stuffed them into the hands of a waiter at the door, "Throw them away for me, thank you!"
The boy saw that Feixue was white, tender and cute, so he quickly took the two candied haws skewers with a smile on his face, and reached out to help Feixue, "Okay, okay, young master, please walk slowly, don't fall!"
Feixue tiptoed and jumped over the high threshold lightly, chasing Ye Jiuyou in front, "Master! Wait for me!"
He was just eating candied haws of sugar haws and walked slowly.
Ye Jiuyou heard Feixue's voice and looked back, "Hurry up."
There is a sense between Feixue and her. Within a certain distance, Feixue can directly return to the Guixu space, so she is not worried that Feixue will get lost in these few steps.
Feixue rushed over and took Ye Jiuyou's hand.
Seeing Ye Jiuyou who was so gorgeously dressed, a waiter immediately came up and asked, "Dear guest, what do you want to buy?"
Ye Jiuyou looked around with her beautiful eyes and saw that the things on the first floor were all ordinary, and some were not even as high-grade as those sold by the stalls outside.
Her voice was slightly cold and she asked calmly: "It's my first time here, please introduce what you sell here."
"Okay, just listen to me and tell you in detail!"
The guy spoke very smoothly and enunciated clearly, "Our building outside the building not only sells various spiritual weapons and elixirs, but also various spiritual plants and materials for refining weapons. We also have a lot of rare spiritual plants and materials here! Buy outside. We also have god-level spiritual weapons that are not available here!”
"In addition, our place is also the largest slave market in the entire imperial capital. No matter what type of slave you want, you can find the one you like here! Take it home and train it well, you will definitely be satisfied with it!"
Ye Jiuyou couldn't help laughing at his words, "What you said is quite funny."
"Hehe! It's my honor to make our distinguished guest happy!" The waiter nodded and bowed with a smile, "I wonder what your distinguished guest is going to buy?"
"I'm here to buy a slave. I want one with good training qualifications."
The waiter immediately made a gesture of invitation, "The slaves are in the backyard, please move this way."
Following the guy's guidance, we soon arrived at the backyard.
The backyard is large and has many trees.
There are also many iron cages with people in them.
There were also some slaves who were shackled on their feet and hands and imprisoned under the shade of the trees. They squatted under the trees, motionless, looking like they had lost their souls.
Hearing footsteps approaching, the people under the tree looked in Ye Jiuyou's direction.
As soon as they saw what Ye Jiuyou was wearing, they immediately stood up, their eyes shining brightly on their dirty faces.
At first glance, Ye Jiuyou is a young lady from a wealthy family. As her slaves, they will never suffer in the future!
At least it’s better than being bought to do hard labor!
The clanking sound of the iron chains made Ye Jiuyou look towards those people.
The slaves under the shade of the trees are all fairly fair, at least there are no scars on their faces, and their appearance can be seen.
Moreover, they are not locked up in a cage, so they must be a relatively docile type.
Ye Jiuyou has also seen slave markets in the interstellar world. They are criminals captured from various planets. They are labeled as slaves and are specially used to build houses on undeveloped planets.
What mistakes did these slaves make?
She glanced around the huge yard and saw countless eager eyes.
Then he asked calmly: "Why did these people become slaves?"
The waiter chuckled, "Of course someone sold it to us. Of course, there were also people who voluntarily sold themselves into slavery. After all, you can't even eat outside, but the person outside our building is in charge of a meal."
"Sold to you? Isn't that a human trafficker transaction?" Ye Jiuyou's voice turned slightly cold.
She knew that buying and selling slaves was normal and legal in ancient times, but she still felt that when someone was kidnapped and sold into slavery, his life was ruined.
The clerk immediately waved his hand and explained: "Dear guest! You misunderstood! The slaves we have here are definitely not trafficked by serious people, nor are they traded by human traffickers!"
"Then let's hear it." Ye Jiuyou crossed his hands on his chest and looked at the anxious expression of the waiter at leisure.
She wanted to see what kind of flowers he could make.
"Some of these people were caught by knights and sold to us because they stole things or killed people, or they were sold to us by the casino because they lost their fortune in gambling and had no money to repay their debts. Some of them even abused their wives and children. The scum of mankind, in short, they are all people who have made mistakes.”
The boy said, pointing to the people who were locked in the cage, "You see, anyone who made a mistake will be locked in a cage, and the wind and sun will be their punishment, and those who squat under the shade of the trees will be punished." They are all voluntary slaves. They cannot practice and have no skills, so they just want to be bought by others and let their masters give them a bite of food."
After Ye Jiuyou heard what he said, he raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, "What you do in the building outside the building is a serious business."
"That's right, distinguished guest, let me take you to an area with good training qualifications to select slaves!" Seeing her attitude improve, the clerk immediately said with a smile.
Ye Jiuyou nodded, "Let's go."
As she walked over, she noticed that many of the slaves in the cages were dying and even had scars on their bodies. It seemed that they had been beaten frequently.
If what this guy said is true, scum like them deserve to be beaten.
When passing by the cage, many slaves stretched out their hands towards Ye Jiuyou, "Please help me..."
"Buy me! I'll be a cow and a horse for you!"
The boy immediately scolded them in a cold voice, "Shut up! You don't even know what your cultivation qualifications are! If you keep making noises, I'll give you a whip!"
The slaves in the cage fell silent instantly.
