"Nothing is impossible to your imagination!"
"Hey, young master! Come look! I have a beautiful young lady here, and her skills in bed are top-notch! You'll love her!" A plump woman, swaying her barrel waist, approached Qin Yun.
She was as solicitous as could be!
Qin Yun dodged the woman's touch and smiled. "If I like her, I'll naturally buy her!"
He averted his gaze.
He saw that the woman wore iron chains on her hands and feet, and her clothing was revealing. Perhaps this was the madam's doing, deliberately dressing the woman provocatively to catch the eye of potential buyers!
Taking two steps forward, Qin Yun lifted the woman's chin.
She had a pair of bewitching, foxy eyes. Despite a scar on her face, it didn't diminish her beauty. Perhaps it was this terrifying scar that had prevented her from being bought by any customer so far.
Her figure was also curvaceous.
"Stand up and turn around! Let me have a good look!"
The woman was somewhat unwilling, but the madam glared at her fiercely. "What are you standing there for, you fool? The young master wants you to turn around, so stand up and turn around!"
With no other choice, the woman complied.
Qin Yun stroked his chin, his eyes narrowing.
He casually put an arm around the woman's slender waist and caressed her small hand.
"It's such a shame that someone as beautiful as you is being bullied here! Little lady, how about following me?" Qin Yun hugged the woman with a lecherous expression. The woman's face was filled with disdain, wishing she could kill him on the spot!
"Oh, young master, you have excellent taste! This young lady has a great figure. If it weren't for that scar on her face, she might have been snatched up long ago! However... when the lights are out, it's all the same. You can have your fun however you wish!"
Qin Yun chuckled and then released the woman. "Alas! I am willing, but it seems the beauty is not keen!"
The madam turned and glared at the woman. "It's your good fortune that this young master fancies you. Don't be ungrateful!"
The woman lowered her head, biting her lower lip, and said no more.
The madam approached Qin Yun and said, "Young master, if you like her, buy her. One thousand taels of silver!" The madam smiled, her eyes narrowed.
Qin Yun looked at the madam, then back at the woman, and shook his head. "I don't like to force anyone. If this little lady doesn't truly wish to follow me, I'd rather not have her."
The madam grew anxious and quickly said, "Wait, wait! Young master, please wait a moment!"
The madam turned to the woman, looking at her with fierce eyes, and then spoke in a voice audible only to them.
Whatever the madam said, the woman's demeanor instantly softened.
Then, with a smile, she slowly approached Qin Yun. "If this young master does not mind, this servant is willing to follow you! Even if it means working like an ox or a horse for you for the rest of my life, this servant is willing!"
Qin Yun smiled. "No need to work like an ox or a horse, just serve me well! However... your beauty, while stunning, is marred by disfigurement. Looking at it for too long can be quite a turn-off."
Seeing Qin Yun hesitate, the madam hurried forward. "Young master, a final price, seven hundred taels? How about it?"
Qin Yun stroked his chin, pondering. "This is tricky..." Qin Yun appeared to be in a difficult position. "I haven't verified if she's still a virgin."
The madam knew the truth of this matter but continued to lie.
"Young master, rest assured, this young lady is unmarried. Of course, she's a virgin!"
Qin Yun thought for a moment and then said, "Five hundred taels!"
Five hundred taels?
The madam was somewhat displeased. However, this wench had been in her hands for days, and no one had taken a fancy to her.
She had been spending money on her food and drink every day, and she was truly unwilling.
After some thought, she gritted her teeth. "Fine, five hundred taels it is!"
After they agreed, Qin Yun paid five hundred taels of silver and successfully obtained the woman's deed of sale.
As he took the deed of sale, Qin Yun turned to the madam and said, "Take the iron chains off her."
The madam shook her head. "Young master, you can't. This young lady is very stubborn and also quite cunning."
Qin Yun repeated, "Take the iron chains off her. I won't say it a second time!"
The madam wanted to say more, but seeing that Qin Yun was a resolute customer, she said nothing further.
The woman also looked at Qin Yun with curiosity, just a glance... then lowered her head again.
The madam took the key and unlocked the chains on the woman's hands and feet. The woman initially wanted to resist but her reason told her to remain calm.
Looking at Qin Yun's retreating back, the woman narrowed her eyes. She was still unsure what kind of person this was. If he turned out to be a scoundrel, she would definitely carve him into a thousand pieces!
"Let's go!" Qin Yun said and strode forward.
The woman, now free, followed closely behind.
Her enchanting eyes were fixed on the back of Qin Yun's head.
This person, who had been so lecherous just moments ago, was now so quiet?
Wasn't he afraid she would run away?
After walking for a while, Qin Yun suddenly stopped, and the woman also stopped abruptly. "As expected of good footwork. She walks without a sound, not even a breeze."
The woman narrowed her eyes and smiled. "This servant does not know what the young master is talking about."
"What's your name?" Qin Yun asked.
The woman swayed her slender waist and approached Qin Yun, extending her fair hand to caress Qin Yun's face. "Why doesn't the young master show his true face?"
Qin Yun was very surprised, and at the same time, delighted. "I don't want to repeat myself!" He shook off the woman's hand, his cold eyes fixed on the woman before him.
They stared at each other, neither giving way.
The woman smiled. "Since this servant is now the young master's person, I shall accept the name you bestow."
"Very well. Seeing your crimson attire and seductive charm, I shall call you Hong Fu."
"Thank you, young master, for the bestowed name!" Hong Fu smiled.
"What did you call me?" Qin Yun asked, looking sternly at the newly named Hong Fu, exuding an imposing aura.
Hong Fu trembled. She had been intimidated by someone who possessed no martial prowess. Though unwilling, she replied obediently, "Yes, master!"
"Remember this: I am the superior, you are the inferior. From now on, my word is law. If I am pleased, I can find you a beloved." Qin Yun then moved to the next stall.
Beloved?
Hong Fu looked at Qin Yun's retreating back, puzzled. How did he know?
Hong Fu did not dare to delay and quickly followed, staying by Qin Yun's side and remaining silent.
Seeing over ten burly men not far away, Qin Yun pursed his lips into a smile and walked forward.
These male slaves were all bound by iron chains. Some looked fierce, others were covered in scars, and some were missing limbs, clearly having been punished for failed escape attempts.
Among these ten or so individuals, Qin Yun's eyes landed on a particularly thin man.
He looked malnourished and frail, but Qin Yun did not think so.
Those who appeared to pose the least threat often delivered the most fatal blow.
Qin Yun approached the leader of the men and pointed at the thin man. "How much will it cost to buy him? Name your price!"
The man was exceptionally rugged, with a full beard, his upper body bare, revealing oily, yellow muscles. His arms were as thick as Qin Yun's head.
He looked down at Qin Yun, who was two heads shorter than him, with disdain. "Three thousand taels!"
"Good, it's a deal!"
