Chapter 110: Hunting for Beauty in the Gold and Silver House, Wu Yi
Lao Hei's face suddenly changed color: "Boss, who do you think will go to Jincheng?"

The boss frowned and said, "Have you heard of that rumor? Wherever Wu Yu from Wuchuan County is, that person will always appear."

Lao Hei thought for a moment and nodded. The eldest brother continued, "I also heard that Wu Chengxian wanted to buy a satisfactory gift for his sister who was taken away by mistake in the dark market. The money of the Wu family is so easy to make. If we can sell all the goods to him this time, we won't have to go out to sail for the next few years."

"The young lady Wu Yi, who was adopted by the Wu family, is about to turn eighteen. Time flies. It's been two years. I still remember that he was the one who sent her back to the Wu family. He protected her and worked together to expose the fake daughter. I really don't believe that there is nothing going on between these two people."

When it comes to gossiping, men will talk endlessly.

Listening to their endless chatter, Niao Niao tugged at the corner of Xu Shanshan's clothes, who couldn't move Taishan: "Sister Shanshan, are you asleep?"

The edges and corners of the buildings in the cabin were blurred by the darkness, and it was unknown how deep they were, but waves of suffocating stench filled the air. There was a strange atmosphere inside, as if an invisible fear was quietly spreading.

Xu Shanshan was resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard that she had something to say, he opened his eyes.

Everything in her field of vision was dim, except for a ray of light shining through the porthole. Niao Niao stared absentmindedly at her dark eyes, which were highlighted by the light: "Sister Shanshan, you seem to be getting more and more beautiful."

Xu Shanshan was not interested in this topic.

As the saying goes, appearance is determined by the mind. In addition, it is related to the martial arts she practiced. Her mortal body has been tempered and refined, so her appearance will naturally change.

Seeing that Sister Shanshan was about to close her eyes and meditate in deep immersion again, Niao Niao quickly shook off her lust and whispered, "Sister Shanshan, it seems that all the people on this ship are pirates."

"Ah."

"They were planning to become human traffickers and sell us." Niao Niao pouted and complained indignantly, "They also said that we were fools."

If she could hear it, how could Xu Shanshan not hear it?
"He said, are we?"

Niao Niao: "...Of course not. Sister Shanshan is definitely not one of them."

As for whether she was...she wasn't sure now.

In fact, it was not an accident that Xu Shanshan and Niao Niao were abducted onto the pirate ship by Lao Hei and his men, but a carefully planned one.

When they were planning to leave Longqiu, they found that one of them was penniless and the other was penniless.

It is normal for Xu Shanshan to be incorruptible. With her fate of five unlucky years, she cannot keep any money she has. She has relied on Maomao's street performance to earn a living. Now that Maomao has been transferred to other places for work, she has lost her money-making expert.

However, Niaoniao seldom went out and had no idea how to control her spending. She would pay a high price for any rare item she saw. Therefore, before she was captured and taken to Longqing Temple, the landlord's family had already run out of food.

It would definitely not be possible to leave by walking, because the only way to leave Longqiu is by boat, so Xu Shanshan came up with an unconventional idea.

It happened that Lao Hei and his group of bandits stopped at the pier in Longqiu. After learning that their destination was Sheyuan Jincheng, Xu Shanshan sent the little white rabbit Niao Niao to "fish".

As expected, for the "piranhas", once a beautiful living creature appears, it is inevitable that they will have greedy and evil thoughts, especially this little white rabbit that looks so alone, white and innocent.

When they were about to take action, Xu Shanshan stepped forward to stop them. Seeing that his evil deeds had been exposed, he decided to go all the way, so the two of them were tied up and taken away together.

Just to be able to take a free ship ride to Jincheng, Xu Shanshan brought Niao Niao and "visited" the pirate ship as innocent victims.

Of course, Xu Shanshan also has another reason for choosing it.

"Once you arrive in Jincheng, what are your plans? Go home or continue to run away and wander?"

Niao Niao thought for a moment and said reluctantly: "... Let's go home."

Having no money and no ability, this trip away from home made her realize her own "strength". If she continued to wander away from home, she would easily lose her life.

Of course, there was still something on her mind that hadn't been resolved. She had to go back and ask Sister Dandan what the amulet she had given her was all about.

"Where is your home?"

"Sheyuan and Heqi City are not far from Jincheng. By the way, Sister Shanshan, what are you doing in Sheyuan this time?" Niao Niao asked curiously.

"Come to find a few people, come to get something." She said simply.

Looking for someone or something?

Upon hearing this, Niao Niao was filled with enthusiasm and was about to ask for more details. She planned to ask her brother to help Sister Shanshan to send people to look for her after returning home, but suddenly her eyes were dazzled by the bright light passing by.

She blocked it with her hand, and then heard several footsteps passing by. They were holding lights, which just happened to illuminate the area.

It was only at this time that Niao Niao could see clearly what was happening inside the cabin.

There was a specially built large cage inside it, with many torture instruments such as iron hooks, chains, and awls hung on the walls. In the corners, there was a row of iron cages, with many vague faces locked inside.

Those who came with lanterns took a whip from the bulkhead and hit the iron cage with a "snap", making a terrifying sound.

"Have you learned your lesson? I told you to follow them and learn well, but you insisted on being stubborn. Now you've been locked in a cage for several days, and you still won't beg for mercy, right? Fine, if you don't want to be a slave serving men, then be a beauty beast that attracts attention."

The woman in the cage had disheveled hair and wore only a thin piece of underwear. She curled herself up into a ball and huddled tightly in the corner of the cage.

The man waved his hand, and his men took out the key, opened the innermost cage, and pulled out an animal with a chain around its neck and a pitch-black body.

At first it was unwilling and struggled hard against the chain, but after being whipped hard several times, it whimpered and lay on the ground, walking and dripping blood.

Because it was moving too slowly, these inhumane pirates were unhappy and pulled it hard. Its neck was stretched and it cried out in pain from its throat.

Niao Niao immediately covered her mouth and her pupils trembled.

It's people!

The one walking on all fours like an animal is actually a human!
But how can a person have such thick and long hair? And the hair looks coarse and hard, covering the whole body...

At this time, the dog-like and monkey-like beast raised its head, and then a human head appeared. It turned out to be a woman with long hair draped over her shoulders. Under the light, half of her face was exposed.

Her fair skin and delicate features formed a sharp contrast with the hideous and ugly fur on her body. This half-human, half-beast combination was simply horrifying!
Niao Niao took a breath.

Not only her, but all the people in the cabin who were about to be trafficked were trembling with fear, and their teeth were chattering.

"Let me tell you, if anyone dares to run away or disobeys me, she will be your fate!" The pirate laughed wildly with malicious intent.

"Do you know how she became like this? I peeled off all the skin from her body, and when she was covered in blood, I covered her with a piece of wild dog skin and sewed it into her flesh. After ten days or half a month, the dog skin was completely grown on her body. Hahahaha... Look, isn't she as obedient as a dog now?"

Hearing such cruel words, Niao Niao's eyes widened, her eyes turned red and filled with tears. She was afraid and angry, and her whole body was shaking.

How can there be such cruel people in this world?

Xu Shanshan reached out and held her cold little hand: "Calm down, what you are seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. Even if you kill these people, it will not help."

Kill, kill these people?

She froze for a moment.

“Sister Shanshan, I…” She opened her mouth, then sobbed in a timid and self-loathing way: “I’m actually so scared…”

When Sister Ren Shanshan saw injustice and despair, she thought about how to deal with the criminals, but what about her... Although she also felt sorry for them and wanted to save them, she was more afraid, real fear and terror.

Her life used to be all clean and bright, so how could she have seen the filthiness of the dark? Even when Sister Shanshan said she was going to take a pirate ship to Jincheng, she just felt a little nervous and excited, and her worries were wiped out by Sister Shanshan's strength.

But when she saw what happened to the women in the pirate ship, she was suddenly shocked and almost broke.

Niao Niao suddenly realized that if she didn't have these powerful protectors, if she was really abducted and taken to the black ship like these women, what would be the fate that awaited her?
The thought of this made her tremble with fear.

-

Ten days later, the black ship docked at the most prosperous wharf in Jincheng, but these cunning pirates were very cautious and waited until after dark before calling people over to slowly "unload the cargo."

In this batch of goods, there are rare breeds of stallions and rare animals, beautiful men and women, precious cultural relics, and even rare weapons, box after box and cage after cage, which shows how extensive their "channels" are for purchasing goods.

Along the way, Xu Shanshan was just like the others, obedient and quiet. He did whatever they taught him and listened to whatever they said. He was even highly praised by the pirates for his outstanding sacred and noble temperament and his quick understanding of current affairs.

Niao Niao, who was described as dull and unpresentable: "..." Although she would always be at the bottom of the list wherever she went, they would regret choosing her sister as the pillar!

The largest underground trading market in Jingguo is in Sheyuan, and the largest market in Sheyuan is in Jincheng. The most famous place in Jincheng is the "ghost market" outside Daofu Gate.

What is a ghost market? There are ghosts in the market, and there are ghosts in people’s hearts.

The "ghost market" is usually a night market. There is no one on the street during the day, but after nightfall, all the stalls will appear one after another. Everything is sold in the "ghost market". The stalls are lined up from north to south, stretching for several miles.

If vendors have come, how can buyers be far behind? There is a constant flow of people, and people in cars, on horses, and on foot all carry lanterns. However, there are rules for lanterns. White lanterns are for white customers, who can only buy ordinary items, while colorful lanterns are for colorful customers, who can buy all the items on the stalls.

As for the colored glaze lamps and golden palace lanterns, they are the distinguished guests of the "Ghost Market". Basically, in the "Ghost Market", as long as he (she) has money, he (she) can buy anything first.

"Hey, are you going to have some fun tonight?"

On the road, two men carrying colorful lanterns looked around, trying to find something they liked at the vendors' stalls.

"Of course I'll go. Who knows, maybe I can join in the fun."

"What's the excitement?"

"I heard that the daughter of the Wu family is coming. What kind of fun can we have?"

"No, this place of wine and women is for men, what is she doing here?"

"Hasn't she always been like this? Unlike other women, she insists on going to places that the world thinks women shouldn't go to. It is because of her uniqueness that our Sheyuan Dark Emperor is so attached to her. Even if there are many women around her, none of them are as important as her."

"Oh, women with clever means are indeed irresistible, but the world is not short of beautiful and smart women. Tonight, a new batch of beauties will come to the wine pool and meat forest. If she keeps the appetite for too long, and the Dark Emperor takes a fancy to someone else, will she be considered to be stealing a chicken but losing the rice?"

As the men chatted, they suddenly began to look forward to the "show" that was going to be performed tonight.

A place of wine and meat, the name sounds quite vulgar, but in fact it is a place that combines taverns, teahouses, leisure and entertainment, and it is a place with a unique elegance.

The boss behind the scenes invited famous craftsmen to build boats for sailing on the lake, snow flying in the spring pavilion, waterside pavilions in the garden, and a star-gazing platform... Daytime and night are two completely different moods. During the day, it is like fallen flowers floating freely, with a look of sincere hospitality.

Once night falls, hundreds of ladies light up the lights, listen to silk music, and indulge in sensual pleasures in the utmost luxury.

Guests coming from afar were welcomed in one after another. Those with white lanterns were kept outside, and only those with colored lanterns or above were allowed to enter the feast.

Goods are delivered in the background. The goods shipped from all over the country need to be inspected, rated, priced layer by layer before being transported into the warehouse. These "goods" will eventually be sold in the Gold and Silver House.

The Gold and Silver House is the highlight of the feast and revelry. The threshold to enter the Gold and Silver House is relatively high. One must have an invitation letter from the feast and revelry. Those without an invitation letter will be rejected.

"Do we need an invitation to enter the Gold and Silver House? I'll pay a hundred gold for a spot, is that not okay?" said a middle-aged man dressed in gold and silver dissatisfiedly.

The guard in front of the Gold and Silver Building said politely but firmly: "I'm afraid not."

At this time, the group walked into the gold and silver building leisurely without looking around. The foreign businessman who was stopped immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Why did you let them in without showing their invitation letter?"

The guard took a look and warned, "Don't talk nonsense, that person is not ordinary..."

"Who is she? A girl dressed as a man. Do you really think that others are blind and can't tell her from you?" the rich businessman snorted in dissatisfaction.

They were almost entering the gold and silver shop, but upon hearing this, the woman who was walking in front and wearing a chic and elegant men's outfit turned her head and smiled: "You are not blind, and no one else is blind either, but why don't others dare to expose it?"

The rich businessman was stunned and asked suspiciously: "Why?"

"Because everyone knows that offending me is equivalent to offending the wine pool and the meat forest..." She put away the smile on her face, stared at him coldly and said: "Listen, this person is not allowed to set foot in the ghost market again. This is what I, Wu Yi, said. If you don't agree, go and find the Dark Emperor to judge."
