I transmigrated into a beast world, hated by everyone, and was eaten by a shameless snake.

Leng Ran was excited and caught up with Xie Yungui.

"Agui, from now on, can I kiss you?" Leng Ran asked cautiously.

"What do you think?" Xie Yungui felt that Leng Ran was sometimes very shrewd, and sometimes incredibly stupid. Did he need someone's approval or instruction for this kind of thing?

If you're a man, shouldn't you just go up and kiss him until he submits? Do you need my consent, the person involved?

It's like those two radio calisthenics exercises were done very little, what are you pretending to be so important about?

Men are truly cunning beyond belief, and Xie Yungui forgot that he himself was a man in his past life.

"A-Gui said he agreed, I'll kiss A-Gui every day from now on." After Leng Ran finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Xie Yun Gui.

They had already walked quite a distance, so when they returned, Leng Ran transformed into his beast form and led Xie Yungui to a place not far from the Exchange Day. Then, the two of them held hands and walked back to the tent without anyone noticing them.

Xie Yungui and Leng Ran returned to the tent. The others were fast asleep. Xie Yungui had been running around all night and was very tired. He fell asleep in Leng Ran's arms.

She slept until very early morning.

When he woke up, there was no one left in the tent; everyone must have gone out to do other things.

Xie Yungui filled a wooden bucket with water, washed his face and brushed his teeth. At that moment, Leng Ran walked in.

"Agui, you're awake? I traded some berries with the horse tribe, have some." Leng Ran held a wooden bowl in his hand, with some common berries in it.

"Okay, where are they?" Xie Yungui took out some dried meat to eat with Leng Ran.

"They went to the slave market to check the details, they'll be back soon." Leng Ran sat down and poured Xie Yungui a glass of water.

"I understand." Xie Yungui didn't have a big appetite, so he ate two pieces of dried meat and some fruit, and he was full.

"Clan leader, Leng Ran, we're back." Achen and Ajia walked in.

"How's it going at the slave market?" Xie Yungui asked, since their main purpose this time was to buy some slaves to take back.

"Not good!" Ah Chen shook his head.

"How so?" Xie Yungui asked.

"Chieftain, this batch of slaves is not good. The adult slaves are all very thin and weak, and they are all orcs with little fighting ability."

"They're mostly cubs and young females; there aren't many adult females, so it's a mixed bag." Ah Chen had been to the exchange day twice, and these slaves were getting worse each time.

"Actually, I can understand," Leng Ran said.

"What's your opinion?" Xie Yungui asked Leng Ran.

"Many tribes, when they can't survive, won't just wait to die; they'll seek refuge with larger tribes. In such cases, they generally won't become slaves."

Only orc tribes that large tribes look down upon are annexed, so naturally, the slaves sold here won't be strong orcs." Leng Ran's words silenced everyone.

Yes, becoming a slave is a last resort. Who would want to be a slave if they could just live a good life?

"Let's go take a look first, and then decide what type of slaves to buy," Xie Yungui suggested, urging them to wait and see.

"You guys go ahead, I'll stay at the stall and watch over things," Ah Chen said.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Xie Yungui, Leng Ran, and the other three went to the slave market for a look.

Even though Xie Yungui had seen too much darkness and cold-bloodedness, seeing these slaves in the slave market still made him feel very sad.

Even knowing these were slaves, when he saw the beastmen, females, and cubs locked in cages like animals, the females disheveled and filthy, the beastmen huddled together in their smallest animal forms, and the cubs trembling and afraid to look at the people outside, he was still deeply moved.

He felt inexplicably sad.

It's not that he's burdened with guilt, nor that he's overflowing with compassion, but rather that he's a person of civilized society.

He has a sense of right and wrong, and a conscience. He hasn't fully integrated into this cruel world. He understands that such emotions are unacceptable, but he doesn't want to abandon his conscience, as it is the most basic thing he has as a human being.

As human beings, we must possess the most basic conscience.

Xie Yungui watched as everyone bargained, remaining silent and observing quietly.

He discovered that powerful orcs consumed three bamboo tubes of salt per adult, while adult females consumed two bamboo tubes of salt per adult.

As for the sub-adult cubs and females, each is given one bamboo tube of salt. As for the young females and little beastmen, each is given two bamboo tubes of salt.

These slaves were shockingly cheap. Of course, this was only Xie Yungui's opinion; for tribes without salt, they were extremely expensive.

After all, all tribes needed salt, but the production of salt was low. Basically, every tribe had to exchange salt for slaves.

Therefore, salt is too expensive.

Xie Yungui looked at the sub-adult cubs and females and had an idea in mind.

But there's no rush, because in the end, the slaves that can't be exchanged will be sold cheaply, so he'll wait a bit longer.

The slave exchange was quick, taking only a day, and everyone would be returning the next day.

Therefore, the exchange of slaves will be completed today.

Leng Ran watched Xie Yungui's unhurried manner and didn't urge him. As for A Jia and the others, they all listened to Xie Yungui.

Leng Ran found a large leaf from somewhere and held it up to shade Xie Yungui from the sun.

Xie Yungui glanced at him, said nothing, and moved a little closer to Leng Ran.

Upon seeing this, Leng Ran immediately became happy and reached out to take Xie Yungui's hand.

Xie Yungui actually had a straw hat, but he just forgot to wear it.

Xie Yungui looked at the employers of these exchanged slaves; they were all from very powerful tribes.

They were all top predators, tribes at the top of the food chain. Xie Yungui didn't have a good impression of them, but he didn't want to offend them either.

At this moment, a dirty male and female hiding among the females saw Xie Yungui and Leng Ran, who were hiding in the shade.

Then, with an expression of disbelief, trembling lips, and almost speechless with excitement, she nearly choked out, "Thank you, brother!"

However, Xie Yungui didn't hear it, but Leng Ran did, because the character "Xie" was too special. Xie Chuyang in the family had the same surname as Agui.

How did this man and woman know A-Gui's surname? A-Gui said that his surname was Xie, while Leng Ran's was Leng.

Therefore, having children take their surname is another form of inheritance.

But having traveled to so many places, this was the first time he had heard the surname "Xie," so A-Gui was unique, just like his name Leng Ran.

But when he heard the surname "Agui" from the man and woman, he became wary, because the woman was speaking a language that was not theirs. Although he couldn't understand it, the word "brother" was the same as how his own son called Chuyang.
