Under One Person: From Nascent Soul to Great Sacred Body

He wasn't very good at close combat, and if he killed Smith at this moment, he couldn't guarantee that he could leave with Hong Yin.

"You two kids, come here for a moment."

Smith and his men arrived in front of Zhou Shengjingming and got straight to the point.

How much does this child cost?

"Name your price, and I'll buy it."

Smith spoke in broken Mandarin.

At the same time, he raised his right hand to receive a bag of silver dollars handed to him by his subordinate.

This was during the late Qing Dynasty, when the buying and selling of people was quite common.

"Sorry, this is my junior brother, he's not for sale."

Upon hearing Smith's words, Zhou Sheng shook his head and then cupped his hands in greeting.

Is it because we don't have enough money?

"I'll give you another fifty silver dollars."

Seeing Zhou Sheng's refusal, Smith narrowed his eyes. As he finished speaking, his lackey behind him handed out another bag.

Two bags, each containing fifty silver dollars.

"I'm sorry, this is my junior brother, I won't sell him."

Looking at the two money bags thrown at his feet, Zhou Sheng shook his head firmly and said.

"He's still too inexperienced, bringing a burden into his work."

Standing next to Wang Yaozu, Jingming looked at Zhou Sheng and Hong Yin, who were being put in a difficult position, and shook his head slightly.

"One hundred silver dollars is already a lot, don't push your luck!"

Smith didn't say anything more, but his lackeys behind him started barking.

One hundred silver dollars, still following the foreign masters, they all want to sell themselves!

"I'm sorry, but even if it were a thousand or ten thousand silver dollars, I would not sell my junior brother."

Zhou Sheng shook his head slightly and spoke again.

"Hey, you wish! Ten thousand silver dollars!"

Upon hearing Zhou Sheng's words, the people behind Smith burst into laughter.

"Boy, this is Mr. Smith's fleet. If you don't agree, then get off the ship now!"

The captain who had previously agreed to let Jingming and the others board the ship came out, gave Smith a gentlemanly bow, and then spoke.

“Esteemed benefactor, we have already paid the boarding fee.”

Upon hearing the other party's words, Zhou Sheng paused for a moment before speaking.

"I'll give it back to you."

The man smiled and tossed out a silver coin.

"Should we kill this guy?"

Seeing the silver coin thrown out by the bespectacled man in the long robe, Wang Yaozu gestured to Jingming with his eyes.

Zhou Sheng and his companion were only charged one silver dollar each, but because they worked hard and said nice things, they ended up charging more than ten silver dollars.

"Not urgent."

Jingming shook his head slightly and simply stood there watching quietly.

Looking at this absurd scene before my eyes.

"Young Taoist priest, you should just agree."

"Otherwise, besides being thrown into the river to feed the fish, your junior brother will still be taken in by Lord Smith."

Someone in the crowd kindly offered some advice.

However, Zhou Sheng remained standing still, unmoved, while Hong Yin was tugging at Zhou Sheng's robe.

"When people do things beyond their capabilities, they become out of control."

"If I were you, I would say yes."

Jingming looked at Zhou Sheng and said with a smile.

"Do you also think I should buy my junior brother?"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Zhou Sheng said in disbelief.

"Why wouldn't I want to get a hundred silver dollars?"

Seeing the incredulous look in Zhou Sheng's eyes, Jingming smiled and said.

"Good boy."

Upon hearing Huang Ming's words, Smith also offered his praise.

“If you sell this child to me, I guarantee I won’t treat you badly.”

Smith said with a smile.

The foreigners who came out and hit him had no idea what the Taoist robe Zhou Sheng was wearing meant.

"I can give you food and land."

"If only you could give me this child."

Smith offered conditions that made even his subordinates jealous.

"Suck!"

"Whoo~"

Upon hearing Smith's words, Zhou Sheng took a long breath and then spoke.

"Let the real buyers come out and talk to me."

Zhou Sheng, holding Hong Yin's hand, spoke to Smith.

"Oh?"

How do you know I'm not a real buyer?

Smith raised an eyebrow and began to speak.

"Let the real buyer come and talk to me, otherwise my junior brother and I will jump into the Xiangjiang River together."

Zhou Sheng squinted and spoke.

"An interesting guy."

Smith narrowed his eyes slightly, then gave the captain some instructions before turning back.

A short while later, William, dressed in a black robe and carrying a hint of blood, appeared on the deck with him.

"Evil?"

Zhou Sheng narrowed his eyes; this was his impression of William.

"Another pervert who doesn't even consider himself human."

Jingming hid behind Wang Yaozu like a child.

"I have to say, I'm really lucky."

William glanced at Hongyin, then at Jingming.

Chapter 114 Unexplained Whispers

"Easterner, are you also a mystic?"

William approached Zhou Sheng and looked at him with an arrogant air.

The Zhou Sheng in front of him had a youthful face, and was not on the same level as the mysterious people he had met in the East.

William dismissed Zhou Sheng's threat outright.

Even those mysterious figures from the Eastern Continent cannot threaten him.

In particular, they are able to take things by surprise, and even have their own methods on this ship.

"Sir, it is indeed unethical to force my junior brother to sell in this way."

Zhou Sheng looked at William, who had appeared in front of him, and bowed with his hands clasped.

Are you begging?

"Looks like the money they offered wasn't enough?"

"Smith, give him double!"

William frowned, looking at Zhou Sheng, who was bowing with his hands clasped in front of him, and then looked at Smith beside him and spoke.
