The obese man stepped back and forth while looking at Jiang Liushi and his members several times. That six female slaves’ eyes were filled with hope, after hearing that Ran Xiyu wanted to buy them. Although they didn’t know who those people were, at least they were Chinese. They stared at the obese man and wondered what price he’d give for their freedom.
Suddenly, the obese man grinned and said, “Among the six, some of them are still young, so if you want to buy them, the price is three mutant nuclei.”
“Uh? Three mutant nuclei?” Ran Xiyu frowned after hearing the price. She remembered the price the obese man had cried out for one slave was about 100 kg of mutant meat. Even if those female slaves were the best, they added up to at most about half a mutant nucleus. It was obvious that the man demanded an exorbitant price.
The six girls wallowed in despair after hearing the price. They clearly knew about the obese man’s attitude toward the Chinese. Since Ran Xiyu wanted to buy the girls to save them, the obese man would gladly take advantage of the situation and make them bleed.
“Brother Jiang!” Ran Xiyu looked at Jiang Liushi in embarrassed.
“Close the deal!” answered Jiang Liushi as he didn’t want to waste time. He just stared at the obese man carefully, imprinting his ugly figure in his mind.
Jiang Liushi’s benevolence made the six slaves feel grateful. They did not expect that Jiang Liushi would be willing to buy their freedom at such a high price.
Shortly after, Jiang Liushi took out three mutant nuclei. He was about to pay, but all of a sudden, he felt a strange energy fluctuation. ‘Eh? This is…?’ The energy fluctuation was actually coming from Starseed!
Jiang Liushi stood motionless like a statue. When the obese man noticed that he said coldly, “What’s the matter? Don’t you want to buy them?”
Surprisingly, Jiang Liushi didn’t answer. Ever since absorbing the Sprite Queen, Jiang Liushi’s brain had undergone various changes. He calmed down and tried to pinpoint the source of energy fluctuations, which attracted Starseed. He carefully determined the direction of the source, and at first glance, he fixed his eyes on a slave in tattered clothes. She was a dirty and thin woman. It seemed that she had been hungry for a few days, curling up in the corner. Her eyes emitted gray lights.
“Huh?” Jiang Liushi had an inexplicable feeling. He stared at the woman and then asked Ran Xiyu through their mental connection, ‘Xiyu, look at the girl in the corner. Can you see or sense anything special from her?’
Ran Xiyu nodded but didn’t turn back to look at her. Instead, she used her mental power to scan her. At first, Ran Xiyu didn’t feel that the dirty and thin girl was special. Her malnourished figure resembled a dried lily. It was obvious that she had experienced lots of disasters and had lost the will to live. However, since Jiang Liushi was paying attention to her, Ran Xiyu was determined to check her carefully. After a while. Ran Xiyu noticed that the girl’s spiritual light was bleak, which meant that the girl was on the verge of death. It didn’t come as a surprise to Ran Xiyu as the girl was weak and sick. It was normal that she could not last any longer.
‘Brother Jiang, what did you notice? I think the girl is an ordinary poor girl,’ said Ran Xiyu.
‘Are you sure?’ asked Jiang Liushi and looked at that girl again. He was sure that energy fluctuations were indeed coming from the girl.
‘Ying, can you feel it?’ Jiang Liushi’s voice sounded in Ying’s mind.
‘It’s a vague feeling. I can sense a comfortable and familiar aura from her,’ replied Ying.
Ying’s words cleared Jiang Liushi’s doubts. After all, considering that her figure or face were not good, it was impossible for people to feel comfortable when looking at the girl.
Jiang Liushi pointed the girl in the corner and asked, “Hey, how much about that girl? I’d like to also buy her.”
After being pointed by Jiang Liushi, the girl finally showed a reaction. She looked up to see Jiang Liushi, but then she lowered her head again.
“You want to buy her?” The obese man looked at Jiang Liushi in surprise. Then, he revealed a wicked smile and asked, “Wow, you have so many goddesses accompanying you, and you still want to buy her of all people?”
Psychologically speaking, he was unwilling to sell Japanese women to Long Teng’s members. But the girl was indeed too weak, and it would be challenging to sell her.
“Three kilos of mutant meat,” stated the obese man.
Jiang Liushi agreed immediately because he felt that the girl’s body was hiding a secret.
The tour bus had not enough to accommodate the seven girls, so Jiang Liushi decided to buy an SUV for them to drive. In this world, the price of vehicles was ridiculously low as cars could be almost found everywhere.
Originally, Jiang Liushi intended to spend some more time in the safety zone to buy information related to Genesis, but he immediately changed his mind because of the mysterious girl. Thus, they left the safety zone in advance.
Several hours later, Ying helped the thin girl to take a shower and provided her with clean clothes. Despite her efforts, the girl’s image did not change much. The malnutrition had really taken a toll on her body. Her complexion was pale, the skin dry while her hair was like hay.
After her makeover, Jiang Liushi walked toward her. The girl looked up and glanced at Jiang Liushi.
“Hello. My name is Jiang Liushi. Could you tell me your name?” asked Jiang Liushi in Japanese, which he had just learned.
However, the girl looked at him lifelessly, without answering at all. Jiang Liushi was quite patient. He also stared at the girl silently, and he suddenly noticed that her skin was exuding a special energy fluctuation. In fact, this kind of energy fluctuation prevented Jiang Liushi from seeing clearly what the girl looked like. It was as if her current appearance was an illusion.
Unexpectedly, when Jiang Liushi blinked, the girl’s appearance changed. Jiang Liushi’s brain was ten times more powerful than ordinary people, so he didn’t believe he was hallucinating. Hence, he continued staring at the girl.
When the ambiguous feeling reappeared, he finally confirmed one thing. The girl in front of him was not what she looked. She was actually using illusions to disguise her true appearance. Jiang Liushi could not even tell whether the person before him was actually a female or not!
