Mushroom Man

No wonder……

No wonder this guy said I have good taste...

Wu Liang's lips twitched slightly, and his face darkened.

He was neither the benevolent abbot nor the unlucky Taoist priest, and had no interest in so-called male beauty.

"How is it, madam?"

"Hehe, this little guy looks like a girl, I imagine he'll be quite interesting to play with."

"And this little guy is an extraordinary being, someone many people would love to play with but can't!"

The slave trader had a lewd look on his face and chuckled wickedly.

Wu Liang opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

He ignored the slave trader, and with a cold face, asked, "How much silver?"

Upon hearing this, the slave trader's smile widened, and he immediately held up five fingers.

"Hehe, since Madam is so eager to buy, I'll give you 50,000 taels of silver."

"Buying a nearly extinct alien with 50,000 silver coins is a sure-fire way to make a profit..."

Fifty thousand silver coins?

Wu Liang frowned, clearly dissatisfied.

This guy is really audacious, asking for 50,000 taels of silver right off the bat.

Keep in mind that 50,000 silver coins can buy three or four level-four mushrooms.

Of course, an extremely rare and endangered orc is indeed worth the price.

Some people who like this kind of food might even think the price could be raised further.

only……

Wu Liang glanced at the fox-eared boy curled up in the dog cage, looking utterly pitiful.

The fox-eared boy was very nervous, as if he understood their conversation and knew that he was about to be sold.

For a moment, he was filled with fear and uncertainty about his future.

Wu Liang withdrew his gaze and shook his head at the slave trader.

"He's not worth that price..."

"This little guy is indeed a beastman, but he only has the cultivation level of the first stage, so he can only be used as a decorative plaything for me."

"And you should know better than anyone that this little guy has a problem."

Wu Liang spoke calmly, rejecting the proposal of 50,000 silver coins.

In his view, the slave traders' eagerness to sell the orc must mean there was something fishy going on.

After all, logically speaking, no one would be willing to sell a male orc.

If he were that slave trader, he would definitely raise the fox-eared boy to be plump and healthy, then use him as a stud to breed with humans, trying to create more beastmen.

However, the slave traders did not do that. Instead, they killed the goose that lays the golden eggs and tried to sell the fox-eared boy, which was extremely abnormal.

In this situation, only one explanation is possible...

That means there must be some hidden ailment or defect in the fox-eared boy that he is unaware of!

And it is indeed true...

As expected, the slave trader's face stiffened after being tricked by Wu Liang.

He chuckled awkwardly and rubbed his hands together sheepishly.

"As expected, the truth couldn't be hidden from the lady..."

"To be honest, when I caught this little guy, his manhood was damaged, and he has become a rootless tree, losing the ability to reproduce."

"But don't worry, Madam. As long as we can find powerful healing fungi, there should still be a chance to recover from this kind of injury."

"Before that, Madam could buy him and keep him by her side as a male maid..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang immediately snorted coldly, and his fourth-level aura instantly enveloped the slave trader.

The slave trader turned pale, clearly not expecting that Wu Liang, this beautiful woman, would actually be a fourth-level mushroom master!
"Are you trying to scam me?" "I bought this slave just to have some fun and relieve my loneliness."

"But now you're telling me that this little guy's manhood is gone, so what use is he to me?!"

Wu Liang's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his tone was icy and chilling.

The slave trader could not bear the oppressive feeling brought by Wu Liang, and a fine layer of sweat instantly seeped from his forehead.

He stammered, then quickly said, "Madam, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

"I didn't mean to fool you, Madam. Please don't take offense."

"Hmph." Wu Liang glanced at him before withdrawing his aura.

"A four-turn mushroom, this child belongs to his mother!"

After Wu Liang finished speaking, he took out a four-turn Wind-Bearing Mushroom.

He obtained this from the White Horn tribe's chief.

The value of the Four-Turned Wind-Riding Mushroom is definitely over 10,000 silver coins, making it an extremely valuable mobile mushroom.

The White Horn leader used this mushroom to maintain his invincible position.

If Wu Liang and Morobi hadn't chosen to lead them into a narrow, secluded cave, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Logically speaking, given the mushroom's remarkable properties, he shouldn't have sold it.

Unfortunately, Wu Liang was not a Wind-Riding Mushroom Master, and due to the conflict of Dao Marks, he was unable to perfectly utilize the Wind-Riding Mushroom.

Moreover, as a Yu Dao Mushroom Master, Wu Liang has no shortage of mobility-related methods.

The Void-Breaking Mushroom alone is far superior to the Wind-Riding Mushroom in terms of movement.

Under these circumstances, Wu Liang would naturally not abandon the fundamentals and go on to use the Chengfeng Mushroom.

If that's the case, it's better to use it to exchange for something more useful.

Comparing the Wind-Bearing Mushroom and the Fox-Eared Boy, the latter is clearly more valuable.

Although the fox-eared boy lost his manhood and his value was greatly reduced, it was no big deal to Wu Liang.

Wu Liang has countless ways to restore the fox-eared boy's health.

Just because others can't do it doesn't mean that he, the 'Ancestor of the Blood River,' can't.

If Wu Liang can defeat this orc, he will surely be able to establish an orc tribe in the Demon Suppression Tower in the future.

By then, including the dragon people, he would have acquired two of the nine major alien races.

Wu Liang's mind raced, and his gaze fell upon the slave traders.

Upon hearing this, the slave trader hesitated for a moment, but when he noticed Wu Liang's gaze and recalled the oppressive feeling he had just experienced, he shuddered.

He dared not be greedy and quickly agreed to the deal.

The slave trader took out a two-turn collar mushroom and put it around the fox-eared boy's neck.

Then he took out a chain, tied it up, led out the dog cage, and handed it to Wu Liang.

Wu Liang got his wish and obtained the fox-eared boy, but did not linger there for long.

He nodded slightly, dropped the Wind-Riding Mushroom, and led the fox-eared boy to continue wandering around the Ghost Market, searching for the white-bearded old man.

The fox-eared boy felt utterly humiliated, like a puppy being led around on a leash.

However, he dared not resist and could only bite his lip and stagger behind him.

'Endure, you must endure!'

"My mother said that if we, the extraordinary beings, want to survive in the hands of humans, we must endure humiliations that ordinary people cannot bear."

'My mother was killed by those damned humans while trying to save me.'

'My mother risked her life to save me; I must not let her down and let her sacrifice be in vain.'

'According to this female human, she bought me only for mating.'

'As long as I'm willing to sacrifice my body to satisfy this female human's desires, I'm sure my life won't be in danger for a while...' (End of Chapter)
