Inside the Hidden Farm, Su Yang had repaired the damaged area, and Jiu Li had temporarily dispelled his doubts, deciding to observe Su Yang further. At this moment, the group was sunbathing on the platform Su Yang had just built, while the Icewing Dog lay on the grass by the stream, resting listlessly. Little Orange lay on Su Yang's head, its limbs and tail drooping, in a lazy posture.

Linglong and Jiuli sat on either side of Su Yang, one with a graceful demeanor and the other silent, but no one knew what they were thinking. Die'er lay to one side, fiddling with a few blades of grass in her hand, while Lin Anlan and Su Yang were tidying up the freshly harvested vegetables.

"Su Yang, it seems we're running low on seeds. Should we go and stock up on some?" Lin Anlan asked Su Yang while arranging the vegetables.

"It seems like we don't need it. We still have some, and we have plenty of vegetables in the cellar. That should be enough for this winter. It's just that we haven't had meat in a long time. How about we go hunting sometime?"

"Great! Let's bring back more meat for the winter. That way, when the heavy snow closes the mountain passes, we won't have to go out." Lin Anlan was quite excited, seemingly looking forward to the days of staying indoors and being affectionate with her lover.

Upon hearing Lin Anlan's words, Linglong, Jiuli, and Die'er all turned to look at her, as if she had said something outrageous. Lin Anlan was immediately embarrassed by their stares and quickly lowered her head to arrange the vegetables, remaining silent.

"Why don't we go now and come back in the afternoon? Then I'll process the meat tonight," Su Yang suggested, agreeing with Lin Anlan's suggestion.

"Okay!" The two stopped what they were doing, tidied up the vegetables, and Su Yang went back to his room to get two backpacks, which contained some dry food and water. He handed one to Lin Anlan, told Xiao Ju, Xiao Shi Hua and Bing Yi Quan to stay at home, and then reached out his hand to Lin Anlan.

Lin Anlan looked at Su Yang's hand, somewhat puzzled. Seeing that Lin Anlan hadn't moved, Su Yang urged, "What are you waiting for? Hold my hand and let's fly over."

"Oh," Lin Anlan thought Su Yang was going to hold her hand. He did hold her hand, but only because he wanted to carry her. Linglong and the others also deactivated their transformations, and Su Yang carried Lin Anlan into the air, heading towards the forest where he had practiced elemental power.

After flying for a long time, they finally arrived above a forest. After landing safely on the ground, Lin Anlan asked in confusion, "How did we end up in the Lingluo Great Forest?"

"Is this the Spiritfall Great Forest? Wasn't it said to be far from the royal city?"

“You fly so fast, and this is the edge of the Spiritfall Great Forest. Given your flying speed, it’s normal that you’ve taken so long to get here.”

"Alright, let's set off then. We have to get at least a hundred pounds of meat today." Su Yang was full of energy, his mind only on the meat.

The two walked on, but perhaps because they were on the edge of the Lingluo Great Forest, they didn't encounter any decent ferocious beasts as prey. Either their meat was inedible, or they were too small. So the two walked and stopped, going deeper and deeper into the Lingluo Great Forest, until they finally found a suitable prey.

According to Lin Anlan, this is a water elemental ice beast. Su Yang looked at it and saw that the ice beast was about the size of a bear, plump and strong, and must have a lot of meat. Su Yang was overjoyed. Such a big ferocious beast must weigh at least two or three hundred pounds. Even if all the meat was shaved off, it would still weigh about a hundred pounds. But there was still a problem.

Su Yang asked quietly, "Is the meat of this Ice-Hiding Beast delicious?" He was worried that the meat wouldn't taste good, and that taking it back would not only be a waste of time, but would also be killing an innocent ferocious beast. He was only there to find food, not to kill a ferocious beast.

"It's alright, nothing special."

Having received Lin Anlan's reply, Su Yang decided to give up. Since the meat was so-so, he might as well just leave it. He then led Lin Anlan forward and unknowingly arrived at the edge of a cliff.

It's called a cliff, but it's not the kind of cliff on a mountain. Instead, there's a ravine below that you can't see the bottom. After walking along the edge of the cliff for a while, we suddenly spotted a building in the woods on the other side of the cliff. We could only see the roof, so we guessed it wasn't very tall, maybe two or three stories.

"Look, what's that over there? It looks like a house," Su Yang asked, pointing to the house across the cliff.

Lin Anlan looked in the direction Su Yang pointed and indeed saw the roof of the house. However, she didn't know what it was, which aroused her curiosity. So she suggested, "Why don't we go and take a look? Maybe some peerless master lives in seclusion here."

Hearing that he was a peerless master, Su Yang became curious. What if he was a transmigrator like Senior Gu Wushuang living in seclusion here? He then sighed that he should also move to a place like this. Building a house on the outskirts of the royal city was too hasty. He must move to a forest like this in the future, where no one will bother him.

Su Yang was still somewhat resistant. Even if it was a peerless master, what if the person didn't like being disturbed? Wouldn't that be his fault? So he thought of refusing, but Lin Anlan wouldn't agree. Once her curiosity was piqued, it couldn't be easily dispelled. She insisted on going over to take a look. Unable to resist Lin Anlan's persistent pleading, Su Yang took her flying over.

After landing, they walked a dozen steps forward and saw a three-story building surrounded by a fence. Lin Anlan led Su Yang around for a while before finally arriving at the front of the building. The two knocked on the door, and after a short while, a head peeked out from inside. Upon seeing the two, the person opened the door and said respectfully, "Distinguished guests, we apologize for not welcoming you properly. Please come in!"

This scene left Su Yang completely bewildered. How could this person seem to have known he would come all along? Lin Anlan, however, didn't care about all that and pulled Su Yang inside. Following the person into the building, they found only a reception room with two doors on either side, and nothing else.

Su Yang found it strange that such a large building only had one reception room upon entering. The person who led them in invited them to sit down, poured them a cup of tea, and then said, "I am the person in charge of this black servant market. You can call me Theodore, esteemed guests. Do you two have any black servants you prefer?"

Su Yang and Lin Anlan exchanged a glance, both looking bewildered, unsure of what Theodore was talking about. Seeing their confusion, Theodore continued, "It seems this is also your first time here, esteemed guests. No problem, I can give you a tour. You can choose whatever you like. Of course, if you have any special preferences or needs, you can also tell me." A wicked smile crept across Theodore's face as he finished speaking.

Theodore opened the door to the side of the reception room, gestured for the two to enter, and stepped inside first. The two followed, still confused. Inside the door was a dimly lit passage. They followed Theodore for a long time, making several turns and climbing several stairs, before finally arriving at a spacious area, but it was still very dark.

At that moment, Theodore turned on the light switch and loudly proclaimed, "Welcome to the Black Servant Market!"
