Liu Jin, although he looks quite sleazy, and his gaze is also quite sleazy...
However, in terms of actions, he still behaves decently...
At the very least, Gu Changsheng’s body did not undergo a thorough search, his clothes were intact, and even when Gu Changsheng woke up, Liu Jin appeared, but did not lay a hand on him...
So...
Gu Changsheng didn’t mind giving him a chance to live!
"You’re... you’re saying all of this is true? You can really cure the poison in ? How can I be sure you won’t poison ? You yourself said you’re a Poison Master..." Liu Jin’s gaze toward Gu Changsheng had already changed, although it couldn’t be called upright, at least it was no longer sleazy...
"You have no choice! Of course, you can also try finding another dical and Poison Master to treat you, but only if they can actually cure your poison!" Gu Changsheng replied, shrugging with a nonchalant attitude as if saying it didn’t matter whether they cooperated or not...
The more Gu Changsheng acted like this, the more uncertain Liu Jin felt...
Riverwater City didn’t lack dical and Poison Masters, but those dical and Poison Masters were exceptionally precious, to seek their treatnt, even for soone like him, a slave trader, would cost dearly, and the thought alone gave Liu Jin a headache...
"Daddy, Daddy are you busy? Mommy is sick again, Daddy please go check on her..."
But just as Liu Jin hesitated, a little girl’s voice ca from outside the dim room, and the mont he heard that voice, Liu Jin’s hefty body tensed up imdiately, followed by a nervous dash out of the room...
"Ah Zi! Ah Zi! Luoluo, how is your mother? Ah Zi... Ah Zi..."
While running out, Liu Jin was panting and softly calling out...
Evidently, Liu Jin cared deeply for the mother of his child...
"Mommy’s health has declined, her breathing is rapid, and she feels very unwell, Daddy, slow down, don’t run so fast..."
Outside, the little girl’s voice echoed again...
Gu Changsheng knew the little girl was nad Luoluo...
When Liu Jin disappeared, outside the door, a small head was peering in, constantly looking into the room...
The room Gu Changsheng was in was very dim, perhaps it was the place ant for slaves...
However, Gu Changsheng was sowhat unaccustod to it, but the little figure peeking in at the door piqued Gu Changsheng’s interest...
"Are you called Luoluo?"
"Yes! I’m called Luoluo, how did you know my na? Did my daddy tell you? Are you the new slave my family captured? That’s great..."
"..." Gu Changsheng paused at her words...
Being a slave, to be honest, Gu Changsheng didn’t see anything good about it...
For her, it was simply an insult, wasn’t it?
"With slaves, we can earn money, and with money, Daddy can hire a doctor for Mommy. My Mommy is very ill, they all say my Mommy won’t live through this year..." Luoluo spoke, sadness overtaking her...
The small figure leaning against the doorfra looked so pitiful that Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but turn his head...
"Is your family very poor? Didn’t your father say he is the biggest slave trader in Riverwater City? How could you be so poor that you can’t even afford dical treatnt?" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng frowned...
In Gu Changsheng’s understanding, slave trading should be a lucrative business, so how could Liu Jin’s family be so poor that they couldn’t afford dical expenses?
"Don’t you know? Here, dical treatnt is very expensive and costs a lot of money. My Daddy used to be very impressive, but because of Mommy’s illness, we spent a lot of money, and Luoluo hasn’t eaten at for a long ti. Daddy says if we don’t capture more slaves, we might soon run out of food..." Hearing this, Luoluo’s spirit dimd even more, speaking very softly...
"!!!" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng was truly shocked!
Damn...
Poor!
Just how poor was this slave trader who had captured her?
What a stroke of bad luck...
Or perhaps, what a twist of fate...
Gu Changsheng thought this was rather unbelievable...
"Luoluo, do you want to save your mother?" With a sigh, Gu Changsheng still asked.
"I do, I really want to save Mommy, but they say, Mommy can’t survive, Mommy’s illness is incurable, they say it’s retribution, it’s Daddy’s retribution for defying the rules of Riverwater City’s slave market, they say it’s all because Daddy married a slave, that’s why it ended up like this, with the family torn apart, wealth gone..." Luoluo’s words ca out imdiately, and her voice remained small, as if she hadn’t spoken to soone in a long ti, and with Gu Changsheng asking, she couldn’t stop talking...
"..." Hearing this, Gu Changsheng frowned again...
Married a slave?
Violated the rules of the slave market?
Retribution?
So...
Liu Jin married a slave, and Luoluo’s mother was actually of slave origin?
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but change his view of Liu Jin once more...
It seed that Liu Jin’s sleazy appearance was just a façade, otherwise, how could he have married a slave? And willingly squander everything for his wife of slave origin?
Or, in so sense, Liu Jin might be a good person?
It’s just...
As a slave trader, Liu Jin inherently carries the unique attributes of a slave trader, much like when Gu Changsheng first t Liu Jin, he was oozing that sleazy aura...
"Luoluo, if you want to save your mother, then take the key over there and set free..." Gu Changsheng thought for a mont and finally spoke to Luoluo, who was lying at the door.
Breathing rapidly, an attack...
It seed that Luoluo’s mother, the woman nad Ah Zi, should be suffering from a respiratory disease like asthma...
This kind of illness won’t be fatal in a short ti, but it does burn money and requires proper treatnt!
If Ah Zi truly has such a disease, then in Riverwater City, where dical care is expensive, it’s not impossible for Liu Jin’s family to be burdened!
"No way!" Luoluo heard Gu Changsheng’s words and shook her head imdiately, "No way! Daddy said that slaves can’t be let out of the cage, no matter how pitiful they seem! I let a slave go before, and as a result, my mother couldn’t afford even the money for dicine. I won’t make such a mistake again, or else Daddy would be sad."
Without money for mother’s treatnt, Daddy would surely be very sad. Although Daddy wouldn’t punish her, Luoluo knew that secretly letting a slave go was wrong...
"Luoluo, I won’t run away! I’m a Doctor, do you understand? I can treat your mother!" Gu Changsheng sighed upon hearing this and spoke, "Your family doesn’t have money for your mother’s treatnt anymore, unless you let out. I will treat your mother and save her! Luoluo, you might not know, but not only your mother, even your Daddy is poisoned. If you don’t let out, you might lose both your family mbers—your mother and Daddy—do you understand?"
Gu Changsheng’s words were indeed sincere...
But hearing this, Luoluo was imdiately frightened, "No! You’re lying! How could Daddy be poisoned? Daddy is the best! You’re deceiving ! You’re definitely lying to ! Waaah... Luoluo doesn’t want to lose mother, nor Daddy. You’re bad! You’re a bad person..."
Saying this, Luoluo squatted at the door and started crying. To her, a five or six-year-old girl, Gu Changsheng’s words were nothing less than a threat, weren’t they?
At such a young age, how could she bear to hear such words?
She got scared imdiately, didn’t she?
"..." Seeing this, Gu Changsheng wondered what else she could do?
She wasn’t doing it on purpose, wasn’t she?
She was rely stating a fact; who would’ve thought Luoluo’s capacity to handle things was so weak, unable to even accept such truths...
But...
Never mind!
She doesn’t necessarily need Luoluo’s help to get out of this cage...
This iron cage...
Frankly speaking, trying to confine Gu Changsheng was undoubtedly a fool’s dream!
In her palm, an obscure light flickered, and Gu Changsheng didn’t even need the key to directly lt the shackles on her hands...
Spiritual Power condensed into flas...
Gu Changsheng had done such things long ago, moreover, the flas she conjured were unlike ordinary ones. Not just iron chains, even Mystic Iron posed no difficulty to her...
Therefore...
"Thud!"
The chain fell to the ground...
Luoluo outside the door was stunned, looking at Gu Changsheng in disbelief...
"Thud!"
Another thud echoed, and Gu Changsheng lted the shackles on her feet too...
Then, Gu Changsheng stood up in the iron cage and walked directly to the gate...
With a single hand on the iron lock, in just a blink of an eye, the iron lock turned into drops of liquid and dripped onto the ground in Gu Changsheng’s palm...
Gu Changsheng bent down and slowly walked out of the iron cage...
Still wearing a red robe, with long hair floating...
Still stunningly beautiful, beyond words...
Luoluo stood at the door, montarily captivated...
In her young years, she had never seen a woman so beautiful...
Beautiful enough to make her gasp involuntarily...
"Ah! The taste of freedom is indeed the most beautiful! No wonder people say, better to die than not be free!" Out of the cage, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but stretch languidly...
Frankly speaking...
Things like cages really don’t suit soone like Gu Changsheng who cherishes leisure...
Ghost knows, she was living a rather luxurious life before; suddenly ending up in such a shabby place was truly...
Lowering one’s stature, wasn’t it?
"You... are you going to escape?"
