Chapter Family Mission Arc . 2 : purchasing battle slave
In the Xiao family garden , Wong Xue was watering the plant while she was enjoying her work .
Suddenly from afar away from her , Xiao Sheng approached near her . She looked at him and quickly bowed lightly toward him and greeted " greeting young master , did you have something to do here ?" She didn't understand why Xiao Sheng came in the flower garden ? So she waa thinking , maybe he had something to do here ?
Xiao Sheng brightly smiled after watching her , he kindly replied her " of course I had something to do that is why I am here" Wong Xue asked him in curiosity " can the young master tell me what is that you want ? I shall do it for you "
Xiao Sheng replied " actually I wanted to ask you , would you like to be my personal maid ? If you don't than I wouldn't force you " he slowly walked close to her , closing their distance.
Wong Xue was taken back by his sudden proposal so she retreated few step back in surprise " me , but how can a lowly maid like me be your personal maid ?" She hesitated whether to accept his proposal or not ?she felt like he was messing around with her .
How can a nobleson want an ordinary maid as his personal maid ? Only those battle maids are allowed to become personal maids , not someone like her . Becoming personal maid also means that the maid will have equal power as their master and only serve under their masters and no one else.
She was feeling heavy in her heart . A bitter feeling began to conquer her heart , she felt helpless thinking that she was only an ordinary person . If she was also a cultivator than she would had not felt hesitant in accepting the offer . But she was just an ordinary.
But she could hear Xiao Sheng's warm voice " don't worry , if I say you can become personal maid than you can . Don't feel inferior but try to feel proud in what you have and not nervous for what isn't there " he slowly got close to her. She didn't notice his approach because of her nervous heart, she asked him in nervously " but , but young master, how can I take such a huge important role and responsibilities ? I can't , I don't have ability to" before she could finish , Xiao Sheng raised his right hand up and closed her lips with his right index finger.
He could feel her softness coming from her lips , heavenly sensation that he had never felt before was there on his index finger. Right at this moment he felt extremely jealous of his own index finger , why wasn't that finger his lips instead of finger ?
Wong Xue raised her head to look at him , he was 5'2 while she was 5'3 tall . Both were very close with each others , Xiao Sheng wasn't a saint so he tried taking advantage of the situation " beauty Xue , don't you want to be my personal maid ? Do you think I am not worthy of becoming your master and serving me ? If so say it , I wouldn't disturb you " his face turned extremely sad as if his heart was broken.
Looking at his expression , a sudden pain hit Wong Xue's soft heart. She didn't know why but she suddenly and hurriedly said to him " young master , Xue is ready to be your personal maid so just don't feel sad . It's making me too feel pain in my heart "
Watching her worried expression , Xiao Sheng's corner of lips curled up slightly but Xue didn't noticed that . Xiao Sheng giggled and showed an expression that was like telling the world that he won the heaven in the lottery. He happily and excitedly said " great than , you are my personal maid from now on . Let's go outside now " he grabbed her hand without even giving her the chance to say no or anything.
"But young master , where are we going ? "
" hehe… you will soon know about that "
" huh !!"
*******
[ Black Heart market ] , just like it's name it's filled with people with black heart. This market is owned by Qin Guan Qi , High stage Body practitioner stage cultivator. The market is located in [ Hook city ] .
There are many items and treasures sold in [ Black Heart market ] in both ways , legally and illegally. This place is also place where humans sells humans or other races . Governments simply doesn't takes action in this mess because they also hand painted their hands in this mess . They may act righteous but in actual they also have some shares in illegal business and have connection with underworld .
There were many merchants selling their merchandise such as treasures and items that were either stolen or robbed from those targets that they killed . There were slave traders selling little kids that had their origins related with fallen empires , fallen kingdoms, fallen villages or massacred family. Nobles, commoners neither royals could escape the fate once their backing has been wiped out from the map of the world .
Virgin young girls and even married women with beautiful looks and youthful bodies were getting sold by the slave traders.

Walking around Xiao Sheng looked around the market. While Wong Xue felt very nervous. It was her first time visiting the market where there was no such thing as moral .
" are you nervous ? If so than don't try to focus around and try to clear your mind , try distracting your mind from the slave traders to treasure traders " Xiao Sheng leisurely said to her . Wong Xue tried to distract herself from those slave trading and focus on treasures and items that were on the sales .
Just as when they were looking around , a fat man wearing luxurious and costly hat similar to painter's hat . 4'6 tall came walking near them . He was middle aged looking with average looks . His name was Qin Bao, manager of [ Black Heart market ] - an early stage body refining stage cultivator.
He approached them and laughed in a friendly way before saying " haha…. If it isn't young master Xiao ? I wounder what young master Xiao wants from our small mercenary business ?" Both Xiao Sheng and Wong Xue turned around to see Qin Bao . They had to lower their heads to look at him cause he has a smaller height compare to them.
Xiao Sheng , smiling in a friendly way , he replied " haha… if it isn't uncle Qin , why be so humble like we are strangers ? You clearly know about me uncle Qin ? I am younger compare to you so just call me nephew Xiao Sheng , I wouldn't mind if it's you " he spread his arms like a wings before hugging Qin Bao as a form of greeting
After a short hugs , they both separated. Qin Bao was someone that Xiao Sheng had made contact many times and used those opportunity to get close . After all Qin Bao was some with great connection in the world of illegal business . He may not have same status as Qin Guan Qi but he surly doesn't lacks connection in secrets. So why wouldn't Xiao Sheng wants to have connection with someone at his level ?
Qin Bao laughed before he said " so nephew Xiao , what do you want from this uncle of yours ?" He has quite a good impression for Xiao Sheng. Although he may not be cultivation prodigy or genius , he liked how well matured and understandable he is unlike kids from his age .
Xiao Sheng scratched his cheek before replying him " I want to purchase best of best slaves that would assist me in battles or protect me . Don't worry about money since you know it , my old man is not low on funds "
" haha…. " Qin Bao laughed while rubbing his palms together. He liked this young man so well , he knew what the second party wants ? And how to satisfy them ? He said " nephew Xiao must be kidding with me ? Have I ever talked about money with you ? You and I are very close , additional to that even master Qin Guan Qi is very close to you . Even if you didn't pay , we can wait for some long times . Oh , I suddenly remembered something. Master Qin has told me to show a very interesting treasure to you like always . If you can exchange something valuable with the treasure than I am sure we can have a goody trade like always " he gave a wide smile to Xiao Sheng while Xiao Sheng raised his his left brow slightly.
He had been trading mysterious items or treasures that Qin family or [ Black Heart Market ] has been finding for past 4 years with something in exchange and Xiao Sheng has been in winning term in every years. Because the thing he traded for those treasures are less valuable compare to the treasures that he got .
He wasn't strong enough to use them or else he would had used them already. He nodded and said " let's talk about it later after I purchase some slaves. So show me the elites ones "
Qin Bao nodded before leading them to a small house yet huge from inside. Wong Xue was feeling nervous at first but now she felt little relax after seeing that her young master has quite friendly relationship with each others.
Walking inside they saw lots of iron cages locking slaves with many different races . Wong Xue couldn't help but feel sad for them but she couldn't do anything for them while she was no better than them.
" nephew Xiao can search anyone you like and we will talk about price later " Qin Bao said while he walked to somewhere else and send a worker boy who was in his early 22 to help Xiao Sheng introduce with those slaves.
Xiao Sheng walked past by many cages that were holding slaves inside. Wong Xue looked at Xiao Sheng and asked " young master Xiao , look at them , they are so pitiful. Can't you help them and free them from solitude of being slaves ? I feel sad for them" her heart was very kind and innocent which made her say those statements .
The worker boy and Xiao Sheng looked at her and both smiled wryly. Xiao Sheng just casually replied " I , don't have that kind of ability" after that , he didn't said anything and walked away with the worker boy while the worker boy kept introducing him about the slaves. Wong Xue didn't know what he said but she could vaguely understand a little about his meaning.
While walking past those slaves , suddenly Xiao Sheng's got his eyes caught on someone. The worker boy notice his gaze and turned to look around .
A small kid in his mid 6 , short silver hairs and silver eyes . Wearing torn off clothes and had slime and pale body . He seem to be very weak since he has such a skinny body . He was 2'3 feet tall .
The worker boy introduced him about the kid " his name seem to be Han Tian Yuan. 6 year old kid from frost demon race , a survivor that was hunted by a high rank hunters. If you want than you can buy him with 10 000 low grade spiritual stones since he is from a very powerful race but not a cultivator at least for now. If you train him than he will be a very powerful slave in the future "
Xiao Sheng took his time on examining the kid very carefully . Although he has a silver hairs and silver eyes like those frost demons , this kid wasn't from frost demon tribe but from soul tribe that are extremely gifted in soul cultivation .and more than that this kid seem to have king level bloodline , soul king bloodline . Those with king level bloodline can fight against 3 stage higher opponents and enemies.
If he bought him , he will have a very powerful knight by his side . A knight that can use soul attacks to kill his enemies. More than that , this kid can become the king of soul knight in the future that would serve under only him.
10 000 low grade spiritual stones ?
Wasn't this just too low priced ? A king grade soul tribe member getting sold for such….such a free cost .
Although he wanted to buy him , Xiao Sheng didn't showed any sign of excitement as he said to worker boy " such a rare existence , I think I will buy it. A frost demon is capable of mastering ice elements so I think I would have a strong ice slave in the future " he didn't revealed the truth about the kid and played along the worker boy.
The worker boy was delight to hear that Xiao Sheng will purchase the kid so he hurriedly said " I am sure you wouldn't regret buying this kid "
" I too am sure" a grin appeared on Xiao Sheng's face as he watched the kid.
