Three of them were humans, and one was a beastman with rabbit ears.
Two men and two women. Both were shirtless, and their skin appeared oily and shiny even from a distance, perhaps due to the application of oil for aesthetic purposes.
Roya frowned; he had always felt extreme disgust for such things.
Roya is no saint, but he genuinely felt disgusted in this situation.
The slave trader standing to the side saw Roya pause slightly, his eyes narrowed, and a plan came to him. He stepped forward and blocked Roya's path, bowed to him, and then gave him a humble explanation with a servile smile.
Luo Ya was hesitant about whether to resolve this matter. In Luo Ya's view, even if this matter was resolved, related industries would still exist in other places. If this kind of thing is not eradicated at its root, it will only become more and more rampant.
Moreover, seeing the other party openly engaging in the slave trade here, this country most likely tacitly approves of such things happening.
Luo Ya looked at the other party coldly. The merchant had a face full of fat and gave people a low-class feeling just by his appearance.
The merchant continued his endless chatter, but Luo Ya didn't say much, simply asking expressionlessly, "How much?"
The merchant was overjoyed upon hearing this and was about to step forward to have a more direct conversation with Roya when Roya suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Is your life worth the price of these people?"
The merchant looked bewildered, then saw the disgust in Roya's eyes and immediately understood. He was about to speak when he was suddenly startled as a thin thread silently tightened around his throat.
The merchant wanted to make a move, but the silk thread around his neck had already cut through the skin of his throat.
At that moment, the other party also understood something. His fat face trembled slightly, and he whispered to Roya, "Young man, I used to be just like you, full of a sense of justice. But there is no pure justice in this world. The fact that I am standing here has already explained everything."
Luo Ya, too lazy to listen to the other party's nonsense, asked directly, "Is your life enough to buy these people?"
The obese merchant swallowed hard, glared at Luo Ya with resentment, nodded with difficulty, and said to Luo Ya, "Fine, kid, you win."
The businessman didn't say anything harsh, just this one sentence: "A dog that bites doesn't bark; a dog that barks a lot doesn't bite."
The merchant was able to engage in the slave trade here because he had some connections. He planned to use his connections to teach this hothead a lesson.
Roya glanced at the four slaves on the platform, but didn't say much. He simply said to the merchant, "Alright, from now on, they belong to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the steel cage burst open. The four men were stunned, staring at the broken cage, unsure of what to do.
Luo Ya casually took out a few copper coins from his pocket, threw them at the other party, and said to the four of them, "Go and buy me something."
He stepped onto the stage, grabbed the slave trader, and whispered in the ears of the group, "Don't let them catch you again."
When school starts next month, it will return to a 4-day week.
I've seen the recent feedback from readers; writing 10,000 words a day is indeed tiring and somewhat thankless.
As for the issue of the name mentioned by the reader, it is indeed my own fault.
I use numbers to replace names when I write.
For example, use 1 to represent Roya and 4 to represent Kanroji Mitsuri. It's faster to write this way.
As a result, many errors occurred.
In short, the pressure of achieving 10,000 yuan per day this month was too much for me; it was purely a thankless task.
Will I improve my quality next month and stop padding my word count?
Thank you for your understanding.
Waaaaah, to all the legitimate readers who made it this far, you're supporting the author no matter what. This is my first book, and my skill level is limited. Many settings are not yet clear, making it seem quite messy.
All I can say is that this book was ruined by my own actions.
But don't worry, we absolutely won't cut it.
Even if my grades aren't good, I'll try my best to finish the book and strive to write a better one next time, so it won't be like this one.

Chapter 157 Reunion with Luo Qixi
Then, seeing the astonished look on their faces, Luo Ya raised an eyebrow at the four of them and said coldly, "Why aren't you going yet?"
Luo Ya's words were naturally overheard by the slave trader, who gave a mocking smile, but this time he was very obedient and didn't say a word.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Roya smiled, patted the other party's shoulder, released him, and said coldly to the slave trader in a low voice, "Well then, I'm leaving first. Don't let me find out that you're playing any more tricks, or you'll lose your head."
After saying that, he continued walking towards the location of the palace at the top.
The slave trader swallowed hard. The passersby all looked on with amusement. Although no one said anything, they generally didn't have a good impression of this kind of person.
The merchant's face turned ashen. He watched Luo Ya's dashing departure, gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and packed up the cages to go back.
The vendors have made up their minds that this matter is definitely not over.
Suddenly, the vendor's eyes widened, he clutched his chest repeatedly, and then collapsed to the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
The onlookers were all stunned. They looked at each other, and no one went forward to check.
Needless to say, it was most likely that the boy did this, but even if they knew, no one wanted to help the merchant.
Half an hour later, a guard came to check, but by then all the passersby had already left.
-
far away.
Luo Ya had already walked quite a distance; in these narrow alleys, you could easily leave your opponent completely disoriented after just a few steps.
Of course, Roya would not let the merchant go. Although the other party did not show any unusual anger or resentment after being threatened by him, and did not even say a few words, it was precisely this kind of guy who was the most vicious.
Knowing full well that the other party is a bad person and may have a negative impact on him, Luo Ya has never had the habit of showing mercy.
After easily manipulating magic to pierce the opponent's heart, Roya prepared to leave gracefully.
Luo Ya thought that pursuers would appear soon, but in fact, he did not see any guards chasing after him until he reached the outside of the palace.
The palace was naturally very grand.
This is a real palace. Even in a country with a less developed economy, its palace is very imposing. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as magnificent. The deep red gate alone demonstrates its grandeur.
Of course, the gate is now open, revealing a much larger garden inside.
Guards stood on either side of the gate, and both of them exuded a strong aura, suggesting they were at the level of intermediate or advanced swordsmen.
Upon seeing Roya standing at the door, one of the guards subconsciously frowned, but Roya couldn't see the guard's expression clearly because he was wearing armor.
The guard stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? What brings you to the palace?"
Roya nodded and asked curiously, "Is Loki in the palace? You mean your new court magician, never mind."
Luo Qixi has a demonic seed on her, so I can just go find her myself. Judging from her appearance, she probably won't let me see Luo Qixi so easily.
Of course, Luo Ya didn't just disappear in front of her. He planned to retreat to the corner first, and then quietly slip up to Luo Qixi.
I haven't seen Luo Qixi in a long time, and I miss her very much.
I miss the scent of Luo Qixi, and I still remember the times we slept together.
The guard wore a strange expression and fell silent, a silence he hadn't felt in a long time.
Luo Ya raised an eyebrow slightly, having no intention of continuing to waste time with the other party. Judging from the other party's appearance, they didn't seem to be the type to let Luo Ya pass easily.
Without further ado, Luo Ya went straight down and headed back the way he came.
One guard fell into deep thought, while another guard asked the one beside him, "Should we give chase or not?"
The guard hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Why chase after him? Does he have to obey the Seventh Prince's orders? Let's just pretend we don't know. Besides, he's already gone."
Although the two were whispering, Luo Ya heard them. Luo Ya raised an eyebrow, it seemed that Luo Qixi had also gotten involved in some troublesome matters.
Upon reaching the dead end, a transparent world opened up, the domain unfolded, and a 360-degree map appeared in Roya's mind.
Without further ado, they hurried into the palace, bypassing all the guards along the way, and arrived directly inside the palace of the Kingdom of Xilong.
There were many rooms, and guards patrolled in the center. Luo Ya sensed something and subconsciously looked at one of the rooms.
Although these rooms are located inside the palace, their location is clearly not very good; they are in a rather remote area.
It's noon now, and Luo Qixi should be having her meal in her room.
Finding an opening, Roya walked directly to the door.
Luo Ya knocked gently on the door, cleared his throat, and prepared to give the other person a surprise.
"Who is it? Didn't lunch already arrive?"
Luo Qixi's slightly immature and questioning voice came from inside.
However, before Royado could say anything, the door was opened.
Luo Ya was speechless; the other person really needed to change his unreliable personality.
If you don't know who's standing outside and open the door rashly without knowing anything, you could easily be abducted by human traffickers.
Upon seeing Luo Ya, Luo Qixi was slightly taken aback. She tilted her head in confusion, as the other person's appearance gave Luo Qixi a very familiar feeling, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
The gift that the other party had given me suddenly began to beat again, something I hadn't done in a long time.
That thing called the Demon Seed became even more active.
Standing outside was neither a soldier in armor nor a maid in a maid's outfit, but a young boy in a short-sleeved shirt with a bright, sunny smile on his face.
The other person had dazzling blond hair, which was casually tied behind their back. Their handsome features made Luo Qixi subconsciously think of someone: Luo Ya. The outline of their features was very similar, but the subtle details on their faces were completely different.
Those eyes were becoming more and more expressive, and those crimson-gold pupils reflected Luo Qixi's face.
