“We are very satisfied with these knuckle dusters and will test them out.

If they really are effective, we will increase our purchase volume.

We also need to order more of these candles and lanterns.”

Elaia said to Zhao Guang indifferently, though there seemed to be a hint of pleading in her voice.

Really, had he misheard?

It seems he was probably overthinking it.

“No problem, I’ll get started as soon as I return,” Zhao Guang turned around and noticed that this time the Beastmen were even more eager for the spices he brought.

Many of them seemed ready to fight over them, but were restraining themselves.

Speaking of which, he hadn’t visited in a while, how much had the Beastmen’s food been cut back?

At that moment, Aleya said somewhat sheepishly, “Well, due to some reasons, we haven’t fully prepared the payment for the goods.

After all, our resources here really aren’t that abundant.”

“What do you mean?” Zhao Guang frowned.

That didn’t sound too good, and he expected an explanation.

Soon, Zhao Guang saw the items the Beastmen were carrying over.

Blocks of gold, which were more numerous than he had expected.

Could it be that ordinary gold wasn’t valued highly among the Beastmen?

Indeed, the Beastmen’s casting skills were poor, and there were no alchemists around here.

Most importantly, the Beastmen had no need for inapplicable precious metals like gold.

So, it seemed normal that ordinary gold was not valuable here, even though they didn’t produce much of it.

However, Zhao Guang’s expression didn’t improve, as there was a shortage of the Beastman Holy Spring.

In Zhao Guang’s eyes, gold wasn’t important; he would sell it to banks once back home.

Having more or less didn’t matter.

But the issue with the Holy Spring was significant; it was related to his ability to rapidly improve himself.

If there wasn’t enough Beastman Holy Spring, wouldn’t his training speed slow down?

Having always enjoyed the boost from the Holy Spring, being without it would painfully slow his progress.

“I’m truly sorry, we’ve had some internal issues recently, but they should be resolved soon.”

This was a Beastman secret, and Aleya wasn’t going to share it with Zhao Guang.

“Alright, I can agree to extend credit, but I’m not exactly flush with funds either.”

“We know, we know.

So, to make up for your loss, we’ve decided to give you a valuable gift,” Lai Wu quickly interjected, handing over two pieces of paper to Zhao Guang.

Zhao Guang looked at the papers, He could understand the words, but their combination seemed rather odd.

Right, they appeared to be combinations used in spells.

Zhao Guang, having studied for only a short period, was unclear about these more obscure matters, but he could tell that they seemed to involve some form of contract.

“Please drop your blood here, and this slave contract will be immediately effective.”

“Slave contract, you’re giving me a slave?” Zhao Guang frowned.

Having come from a modern era, he instinctively rejected the idea of slavery.

Of course, it was only a slight discomfort, considering it was a gift to him, bringing him a certain benefit.

But assigning a person to him, where was he supposed to keep her?

He certainly couldn’t bring her back home.

So, you’re not only shortchanging me, but you also want to add to my burdens?

Thinking this, Zhao Guang was ready to decline.

“Well, I’ve got a lot going on right now, quite busy actually.”

But, as he spoke, he faltered because he saw a beautiful woman—a seductively enticing woman who made one’s thoughts drift towards the bed at first glance.

Such a slave, truly irresistible.

“She is a half-demon, half her lineage is human, and the other half is from an Enchantress.

Beings with Demon Bloodline our kind are either dead or enslaved; there’s no need for pity.”

Aleya also spoke up, “You are our distinguished guest, always running around without anyone to take care of you isn’t ideal.

It is said that Human Nobles always have maids by their side, and now you are a noble, aren’t you?”

Zhao Guang nodded, “Indeed, I am a noble now.” Although that was the case, the idea of constantly having maids around was nonsense.

Among the three nobles he knew, only Yalugo lived in such a manner.

Even Ocoro, that eccentric fellow, had mostly surrounded himself not with personal assistants but artists.

Zhao Guang was a bit dizzy and wasn’t quite sure how, but he found himself signing the contract.

Then he realized he could control everything about this woman, even instruct her to die with a single command.

So this was a contract, Zhao Guang thought, experiencing that feeling.

He even sensed the half-Enchantress’s emotions, a mix of fear and uneasy anticipation, a stark contrast to her outward seductive appearance, which now seemed merely a facade.

“From now on, he is your master.

This Enchantress is named Xi Fei; you can treat her however you wish.”

It was rare, but a strange emotion could be seen on Aleya’s ordinarily icy face.

It seemed to mix disgust with something tantalizing, but Zhao Guang couldn’t quite make it out.

“And this one, Jeana.

From now on, he is your master,” Aleya suddenly pulled forward a little one.

Yes, quite small, looking perhaps about seven or eight years old, maybe younger.

Such a frail little girl, yet a highly humanoid Beastman.

He remembered such highly humanoid types usually held respectable positions among the Beastmen due to their potential.

And those white ears, were they dog ears or fox ears?

“You guys, are you moonlighting as human traffickers?

Is this really okay?”

Aleya shook her head, “We had no choice, Jeana’s family committed a crime, and surviving that was fortunate enough.

This girl is from the White Fox lineage, with a high talent for being a Priest.

If you wish to train her as a Priest, we can assist you.”

“Train as a Priest?

Are you sure?” Was this how to treat slaves?

“Of course, because the secret technique for training Priests is actually very simple; other races also know it.

It’s just that they lack our Beastman talent, and thus they can’t train one,” Lai Wu said, stroking his beard.

“But because of that incident, Jeana can no longer follow the path of an Ancestor Priest; she can only follow the path of a natural Priest.”

So, they had it all planned for him, but for such a small little one to be left uncared for was indeed a bit heart-wrenching.

“Alright then, I’ll accept her.” Having signed the contract, he really had no choice but to accept now.
