The feed Madam Xie, “Ma'am, please! I kno to cook, I even kno to rear horses! I'll give youyou want! Please! You can askas you letof you!”
At this moment, Asparta, too, had kneeled on the floor and koed to Madaether, I promise you, my life will be yours!”
Madam Xie never liked to buy slaves in pairs because they would be ether once they settled down But Madaht sacrifice their lives for her, she must first buy their hearts!
Whips and blades may force the to sacrifice their own lives
Madaht carefully “How much is this one?” She asked the slave merchant
The foreignin his mind Eventually, he spoke “This one… well, this slave isn't your ordinary level of beauty Look at her jade-colored eyes, her perky and firm breasts… Not to mention her round and plump buttocks… Heh heh…”
Madam Xie impolitely cut him off, “She's a woman, a female slave will never be as valuable as a male slave”
The foreign merchant smiled slyly, “That is true, but she is no ordinary wo Asparta!”
Mada scammed by the merchant But Madale-handedly brought up Cheng'an City's King of Troubleave him a cold sive you two options One, I give you the nor her home; Two, she is separated from her lover and coet a penny's worth of your investments back” She replied

His tendons around his arms and feet have not been broken It seeth If he really wanted to escape, you and your men would definitely not be able to stop him The only reason why he stayedthat the two of them harbor such intense love, they will definitely follow each other through life and death! If you doubt me, you could try it and see for yourself!”
The foreign ed iht, you win! Eighty-two silver pieces, take her away!” He replied slowly
Asparta and Agatha cheered upon hearing this, e each other as they sobbed with joy
The slave-trading business in Daqi was very developed, and so was the uarantor present This ensured that both buying and selling parties were legitiallyOtherwise, anyone could simply kidnap a person and sell them in the market as slaves Wouldn't that just lead to chaos in the market?
After Madan uarantor had guaranteed both parties' legitimacy, both the buyer and seller presented their permitted license to buy and sell slaves with the city's official seal issued by the city's official palace Followed by signing a contract where the buyer, seller, guarantor, and slave all agree and sign Only then will the transaction be officially completed
This contract was then uarantor The guarantor's copy overnister the slave's name and credentials in the papers
Madalared at her t slaves “From today onwards, both of you are a part of our Li Family! You are now on Daqi's land! Here where the sun rises, and where the sun sets, all the earth that light touches, they all belong to our Daqi! You'd better think twice before plotting any escape Without your slave release contract and your customs clearance documents, just how far do you think you can escape to? Where COULD you escape to?” She threatened them, her tone cold as ice
The two slaves shi+vered They tre they were ready to surrender themselves and abide her every order
