Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

He slowly raised his hand, then slowly extended his index finger, pointing it straight to the sky.

The price represented by this finger is by no means as insignificant as one or ten taels; it is naturally a staggering one hundred taels.

Even if they are women from the Kingdom of Chi, they are human beings. How can their life trajectory and future fate be so easily determined by a mere hundred taels of silver?

Faced with such a high price, Fang Yu simply stared at his outstretched finger, her face showing no surprise or dissatisfaction. She simply nodded slightly to indicate her agreement.

The man had some doubts and worries, but when he saw Fang Yu nod, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered a treasure.

However, perhaps because the transaction had gone too smoothly, a hint of doubt arose in his mind, so he hesitated slightly before asking Fang Yu again to confirm:

"Young lady, please look carefully. I'm referring to the price for one person. Are you sure you still want to buy them?"

As he spoke, he deliberately waved his finger in the air, as if afraid that Fang Yu hadn't seen it clearly.

Fang Yu did not answer his question immediately, but instead thoughtfully glanced at the eight women from the Blazing Kingdom once more.

The women's eyes had long lost their former luster, becoming dull and lifeless.

Perhaps because they have experienced too much suffering and torment, they no longer care where they are about to be sold or to whom they are sold, and they don't even have the thought of caring.

For them, this seemed to be an inescapable fate, and they could only silently endure everything. Even if their hearts were filled with fear, they did not have enough courage to struggle, let alone hope to change their tragic destiny.

Fang Yu slowly raised her head, her gaze meeting the man's sly, self-satisfied look.

A faint smile appeared on her lips as she softly asked, "Are you sure this is the price?"

Her seemingly casual words implied that there was still room for negotiation on the price, and that it could be raised further.

It was as if Fang Yu's deliberate reminder had nourished the seed of greed in the man's heart, causing his deep-seated greed to grow wildly and spread rapidly like weeds.

The man turned his head slightly and quickly glanced at his companions standing behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Then, without revealing a hint of cunning in his eyes, he quickly changed his mind again:

“These girls are all incredibly beautiful! If we sold them to brothels, we could earn far more money than we just discussed.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu showed no anger whatsoever; instead, the smile on her lips deepened.

With a smile on her face, she asked in a persuasive tone, "Brother, you are absolutely right! I also believe that each of them is priceless. It's just a pity that I left in too much of a hurry today and I only have a limited amount of money on me."

As Fang Yu spoke softly, he slowly pulled out a thick wad of silver notes from his pocket.

She casually flipped through the stack of banknotes and counted them, roughly estimating that the stack of banknotes must be worth at least two thousand taels of silver.

She blinked her big, innocent eyes, looked up at the man opposite her, and asked softly, "Brother, do you think this money is enough?"

When the men saw the large wad of silver notes in Fang Yu's hand, their eyes widened in disbelief, as if their eyeballs were about to pop out.

They looked Fang Yu and the others up and down, and seeing that they were all dressed like outsiders, they couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. They all thought to themselves: We've really hit the jackpot today, to actually run into such a big fool.

With so much wealth, why worry about not being able to buy maids, especially since they are just unwanted people from the Chi Kingdom?

Unable to contain his excitement, the man nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's enough, that's enough!"

Fang Yu bought the group of women from the Chi Kingdom without hesitation.

The group of men didn't even have time to count the exact amount of the silver notes in their hands, fearing that Fang Yu might suddenly change his mind and renege on the deal. They hurriedly turned and left.

Yan'er and Yun Jie walked over together and bowed deeply to Fang Yu. Yan'er said, "Thank you for your help, Miss. I will definitely return all the money in the future."

Seeing this, Fang Yu quickly stepped forward, helped the two up, and said with a sly smile:

"No need to wait until later. Since they dare to ask for exorbitant prices, let's retaliate in kind and just rob them on the road!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Jie immediately understood and nodded vigorously in response, "I'll take care of it right away!"

For Fang Yu, coming up with the money wasn't difficult, but trying to take advantage of her to squeeze out a large sum of money wouldn't be so easy.

Yan'er followed closely behind Fang Yu, walking together towards the direction where the group of women from the Blazing Kingdom were.

The women were all pale as paper. Their pale faces were probably due to prolonged exposure to the cold, rather than from extreme fear.

Fang Yu slowly walked up to one of the women, stopped, and stood firmly in front of her.

She took out a clean, simple handkerchief from her bosom, gently raised her hand, and carefully wiped the dirt off the woman's cheek.

The woman appeared somewhat frightened and uneasy, her body trembling slightly, as if she was full of wariness towards Fang Yu.

Perhaps sensing the gentleness and care in Fang Yu's actions, she gradually relaxed, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated.

She mustered her courage, opened her eyes wide, and timidly looked into Fang Yu's eyes.

Fang Yu asked, "You are all from the Chi Kingdom, how did you come to Beiyu?"

Upon hearing this, the woman being questioned instantly reddened, tears welling up in her eyes.

Perhaps because no one had ever cared for her like this for so long, the sudden greetings and concern from others caused her long-suppressed emotions to burst forth like a flood, finding an outlet for their release.

The woman trembled all over, but still gritted her teeth and said, "It's all that beast's fault! It's Xin Fujinyan, that heartless beast! Just because he was slightly dissatisfied with the clothes we sewed, he sold us all off. After that, we changed hands many times, and finally ended up in Beiyu..."
