Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

Chapter 75 A Chill Down My Back (Please Subscribe)

"Alright, alright, you're the seller and I'm the buyer, why are you kneeling before me? How much are you planning to sell this kid for?"

Feng's mother was filled with fear, but her eyes were also filled with greed, and a joyful expression appeared on her face. Since the leader of the Dulong Regiment said so, then this matter was settled.

"Commander, you can give me whatever you think is appropriate..."

Upon hearing this, Dulong's face immediately showed a look of disgust. Usually, people who say they're giving something away casually are actually just asking for more.

It's like a snake trying to swallow an elephant – insatiable greed.

If the woman had negotiated with him at the market price, he would have paid her even if she had offered twice the market price.

But when it comes to playing mind games with Dulong, Dulong thinks she's still too naive.

He grabbed a handful of copper soul coins from his storage soul tool and threw them on the ground. "This doll, eighty copper soul coins, I'll take it."

"Ah, what?"

Feng's mother was clearly somewhat surprised. She thought that a noble young master like the Second in the World, with his refined manners and elegant speech, would be worth at least one gold soul coin, or one hundred copper soul coins, even if he was dressed in rags.

She had hoped that the leader of the Dulong tribe would give her a little more, but she only received eighty copper coins. She was immediately annoyed, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only quickly grab the copper soul coins on the ground and run away.

Anyway, being second in the world was something I picked up; it's free money.

After Dulong paid, the Second Under Heaven naturally became his goods. He gently pulled the Second Under Heaven over and led him into the group, then continued to preside over the trade fair.

This is one of their trading locations. Today, all the ordinary people from the villages and towns along the border who want to sell their children will go to the market in Luoyun City to sell them, so today is destined to be a long day.

However, Dulong was not in a hurry. He had been doing this kind of thing for more than ten years and was already very familiar with it.

He did all this simply to earn money to improve his cultivation. A Soul Master's cultivation is impossible without money; in the eyes of ordinary people, a single gold soul coin can sustain them for a whole year, and a single gold soul coin can even lead to the sale of one's own children.

But in the eyes of a Soul Master, a single Gold Soul Coin is nothing. A thousand Gold Soul Coins can't even buy a decent Soul Tool, and Soul Bones are priceless. To obtain a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, one must spend a fortune to hire a high-level Soul Hunting Team.

The cultivation of a Soul Master is an expensive process.

This is the stark difference between the Soul Master world and ordinary people. In this border region, a child's life is worth only one gold soul coin. And in the hands of these unscrupulous merchants, the price will be reduced by another ten or twenty percent.

But these people have no choice; they can only sell, because even if they don't sell, they will be robbed by human traffickers, so they might as well sell for some money.

Du Long engaged in this business partly to curry favor with his boss, Du Chong, who was the true leader of the area, commanding dozens of bandit gangs. Among his subordinates were even Soul Saint-level experts.

Their Dulong mercenary group can pass through this road smoothly every year, all thanks to his offerings, allowing them to move freely here. On the other hand, it's also because money is really easy to make at the border.

People are like leeks; they can be harvested again and again, but you can't sell them all. However, the children and war orphans transported from Douluo Continent to Sun Moon Continent each fetch ten times the price. Buying for one gold soul coin and selling for ten—that's a tenfold profit. Compared to Douluo Continent, the people of Sun Moon Continent value human resources highly, and these Soul Masters have no shortage of money.

However, a tenfold profit is not something that ordinary thieves would even consider. Making money this way is not only risky but also slow, unless there are even more lucrative ways to trade people.

Yes, there are still Dulongs. The most important reason he came to the border to collect these cheap children is to try his luck.

He had two Martial Soul Awakening Masters under his command, who were specifically responsible for awakening the Martial Souls of war orphans he had robbed or bought, as well as other unwanted children.

However, if even one child possesses soul power, their value can instantly increase a hundredfold. In the Sun Moon Empire, anyone with soul power can become a Soul Master.

The transaction continued, and the Second Under Heaven and the others were taken to a special tent to awaken their martial souls one by one. During this time, Du Long also learned what the Second Under Heaven's martial soul was.

He knew the concept of a physical spirit, so he immediately became very excited because the price of the second-best spirit in the world had increased significantly. Unfortunately, the second-best spirit in the world had very low innate spirit power, and the spirit power aura on its body was very weak. Moreover, it did not have any spirit rings attached. Otherwise, the price could have been even higher.

With its unique effect, Du Long, a mere Soul Emperor, couldn't possibly discern any clues. However, that didn't matter. He was already satisfied that he could sense a faint portion of soul power in the Second Under Heaven. The Second Under Heaven's value had already increased several times over.

Dulong specially arranged for him to be in a luxurious cage, which had water and food and was not as dirty and messy as the other cages. He did not make any fuss and just lay down on it.

Gazing up at the sun, he fell into deep thought. Having successfully boarded the slave wagon, Second in the World now only needed to wait for it to depart, arrive smoothly at the Sun and Moon Empire, and then figure out a way to leave.

What a perfect plan! Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, but because of his defect, his expression was extremely cold.

It wasn't until evening that everything stopped, and two more figures finally appeared in the luxurious cage where the Second Under Heaven was located. A man and a woman, both about the same age as him. The man was unremarkable, just a skinny little guy.

In such border areas, it's practically impossible to find fat people; being pale and thin is the norm. As soon as the little boy came in, he immediately found a corner and squatted down.

He was still very disappointed to be sold by his family, and so was the other girl. With her head down and her voice choked with sobs, she found a corner to squat in after being locked in the cage, just like the little boy, and began to cry. She stopped after a long while.

Once everything was quiet, the Second Under Heaven opened his bright eyes. When he looked at the girl's figure, his pupils widened instantly, as if an earthquake had struck them. The cold expression on his face also became somewhat distorted with shock.

He felt a chill run down his spine, because he saw that the girl was none other than the girl named Feng from the family that had taken him in in Luo Yun Village.

He had clearly replaced Feng and been sold to human traffickers by her so-called family, but now, Feng had reappeared in front of him, in this human trafficker gang, and was locked up in a cage as a commodity.

That's what made him feel a chill down his spine.

It turns out that the lack of money was just an illusion; whether he was there or not, the girly style would still be sold.

Her parents, consumed by desire, are the most cruel demons in the world. In their eyes, their daughter is nothing more than a tool to be exchanged for money.

What an ugly side of human nature!
