"Damn! Nine Treasures, what are you doing?"
Yang Yan dashed out and directly picked up the little white tiger.
"So you were planning to eat it! Tsk tsk! This little kitty is really cute, even the Vermilion Bird dared to eat it."
The Black Tortoise said with a smile.
Yang Yan gave it a harsh glare:
"Hurry up and catch so more fish, can't you see they're all hungry?"
The Black Tortoise opened its mouth, then jumped off the deck, making a splash as it landed in the sea.
"Wow! Wushuang, what is this thing? It looks so cute!"
Zhou Hanyu excitedly pointed at a furry little pet that looked like a ball and asked.
"This, oh, this is a Mao Li Beast! A harmless little pet, quite a few people in the Hidden World like to keep these pets. But they're very pricey."
Zhuge Wushuang said with a smile.
"Miss, do you like it a lot? How about I give you one?"
A blond, blue-eyed man nearby looked at Zhou Hanyu and said.
It seed he had taken a fancy to Zhou Hanyu and was ready to spend a fortune to win her favor.
"No need, thank you! If she likes it, I will buy it for her."
Zhou Hanyun stepped up quickly, politely declining.
The man saw Zhou Hanyun, and his eyes lit up again.
Sister flowers!
And completely different temperants.
Rare, truly rare!
"Miss, you might not know, the transactions here don't involve money from the normal world! You must use special currency. Money from the outside doesn't work here."
The man tried to appear courteous and explained patiently to Zhou Hanyun.
"Hey! Are you treating us like we're invisible?"
Zhuge Wushuang coldly said from the side.
"My friend, how could I treat you as invisible? But, bringing ordinary people to Paradise Island, isn't it to trade so things?"
"Naturally, I'm quite interested in those two people you brought. Na your price, I'll take them."
The man said confidently, full of self-assurance.
"Auntie Wushuang, what does he an?"
Nearby, Cai'Er asked in a crisp voice, holding Zhuge Wushuang's hand.
Ruyi also blinked her big eyes, looking at Zhuge Wushuang.
Ever since Yang Yan gave her an appropriate cultivation technique, Ruyi's intelligence had started to drop drastically.
Now she was almost like a three-year-old child.
"Sister Wushuang?"
Zhou Hanyu also looked questioningly at Zhuge Wushuang.
"Hasn't she told you? Or were you tricked by her to co here? On Paradise Island, ordinary people can only be regarded as a type of commodity!"
"Even though trading is forbidden here, secretly there are still people buying and selling. Otherwise, why do you think Paradise Island would let ordinary people in?"
The man said with a smile.
However, in Zhou Hanyu's eyes, his smile was really irritating.
"I think you're mistaken, these two are our friends, not rchandise."
Mu Qingcheng smiled as she stepped forward to say.
"Oh? Spending a lot of money to bring two ordinary people onto the island? Are you worried that I can't afford it?"
The man frowned and said coldly.
"Really is an idiot!"
Zhuge Wushuang sneered at the man, unabashedly retorting.
"How dare you insult ? Do you know who I am?"
The man was furious upon hearing Zhuge Wushuang call him an idiot and said angrily.
"Let's go! Ignore this brain-damaged guy. We'll explain this matter to you later."
Zhuge Wushuang beckoned to Zhou Hanyun and the others.
After saying that, the group walked towards the street ahead.
Surprisingly, the man, who was already livid with rage, did not stop them. He clasped his hands tightly against his chest and said with a cold smile:
"You can't escape, you will definitely be mine."
Throwing down these words, he turned around and quickly disappeared into the crowd in the opposite direction to Zhou Hanyun and the others.
"How should I explain this to you... Let's put it this way, the Hidden World is a very chaotic world, much scarier than you could imagine."
"Here, killing and arson are as common as daily als, it's far too normal. And the Paradise Island we're currently on is considered one of the few sanctuaries in the Hidden World."
"However, even here, those dirty things can't be avoided. For instance, bringing ordinary people here and then selling them is one of those things."
"So, whenever ordinary people land on the island, they have to pay a significant fee. Of course, those who know the coordinates and can directly teleport here are exceptions."
"Though, this is the first ti I've seen soone directly teleport to Paradise Island. But for this to happen to the boss, it's actually not surprising."
"What I want to say is that every ordinary person ticulously chosen and brought here is often sold at a high price."
"Especially after ordinary people landing on the island need to pay a huge amount, the selling price is even higher. Because all costs have to be factored in. That's also why we were so amazed to see the boss's luxurious yacht."
After Zhuge Wushuang's explanation, Zhou Hanyun frowned tightly and asked coldly:
"Trading humans? Isn't there anyone to manage this here? What about the forces behind Paradise Island?"
Zhuge Wushuang forced a bitter smile:
"How should I put it? This is considered an unspoken rule here. As long as you're not caught by the law enforcent team, who would know? Or maybe the forces behind Paradise Island just turn a blind eye to such things."
After hearing this, Zhou Hanyun said sowhat agitatedly:
"So to them, ordinary people are no different than livestock?"
She initially had a pretty good impression of this island, but after this incident, she realized what she saw was just an illusion, leaving her feeling very disgusted.
"Sister, don't get excited." Zhuge Wushuang said with a smile, "Actually, it's just like the human traffickers in your world. Although it's equally prohibited, driven by high profits, there will always be people who take risks."
"Of course, if buying or selling ordinary people gets caught by the law enforcent team, it's death. This is actually far better than your world."
Hearing this, Zhou Hanyun felt sowhat relieved.
If this place was completely laissez-faire, then even if it were paradise, she wouldn't want to co a second ti.
"Let's go, those guys don't dare to cause trouble here. If they act here, the consequences are not simply death. It would involve their families and forces behind them."
Mu Qingcheng comforted, holding Zhou Hanyun's hand, and continued walking forward.
The incident just now was just a small episode for them.
After all, the other side had just pointed out the unspoken rule and didn't say anything more extre.
The key point was, that guy didn't make a move.
Otherwise, whether it was Zhuge Wushuang or Mu Qingcheng, either one could have easily dealt with him.
