Strongest Eccentric Consort

Chapter 685: Is Something Wrong With Her Brain?

The slave market had many slaves. The myriad choices would dazzle most people. Lou Qianxue and Lou Potian, based on their judgment, chose a dozen muscular guards and a female chef.

“We’ll just select a butler, and that should be enough.”

Lou Potian was quite satisfied with this trip.

“Yes.” Lou Qianxue nodded. “Just now, I heard that someone’s auctioning slaves in front. Shall we go and take a look?”

“Sure. These slaves must be quite capable if they’re being auctioned.”

Lou Qianxue and Lou Potian walked forward and saw a tall platform. A crowd had gathered underneath it.

“Hu Laosan has sold slaves many times. Why did he commit such a mistake this time? Is he trying to ruin his own reputation?”

“That’s right. We can just casually gather a group of people and claim that they’re from the Moonlight Clan. How can the members of the Moonlight Clan be auctioned in such a place? Wouldn’t they have already been sent to the auction house to be auctioned off as precious items?”

“Exactly! I really don’t know what he’s thinking...”

“Moonlight Clan?” Lou Potian’s eyes flashed with surprise. “The legendary clan whose members are extraordinarily beautiful, regardless of their gender?”

“Maybe.” Lou Qianxue looked at the stage and saw more than ten thin, frail young men and women in ragged clothes standing there, shivering.

“Judging from their looks, they seem ordinary. They don’t look like they’re from the Moonlight Clan,” Lou Potian concluded after taking a few glances at them.

However, Lou Qianxue frowned and remained silent.

Everyone sighed as they looked at the young men and women on the stage. “It’s a good thing that they’re not from the Moonlight Clan. Otherwise, we’d be in trouble.”

The members of the Moonlight Clan were mysterious and hard to find. They were extremely beautiful, and every time one of them was discovered, they would be treated as toys...

“Everyone, listen to me. These people are all genuine members of the Moonlight Clan. They haven’t grown up yet, so their beauty isn’t obvious. In a few years, when they grow up, they’ll definitely become drop-dead gorgeous beauties. To be honest, if I, Hu Laosan, weren’t poor now, I wouldn’t be willing to sell them.”

“Tsk! Hu Laosan, why aren’t you selling the true members of the Moonlight Clan at the auction house? Are you trying to trick us here? A child can only be sold for thirty thousand taels at most. You want a million taels for them? Do you think we’re all fools?”

Hu Laosan bitterly smiled. “The auction house also thinks that they look too ordinary to be from the Moonlight Clan. Everyone, I’ve been doing business for such a long time. You should know that I never lie. If you can’t afford a million taels, five hundred thousand is fine too. If you can’t afford all of them, buying one back won’t be a loss.”

Lou Potian took a few glances and sighed. He said to Lou Qianxue, “Let’s go.”

“Grandpa.” Lou Qianxue looked at Lou Potian. “Let’s buy them.”

“Huh? You’re interested? Okay, then. But a kid here is worth tens of thousands at most. It’s not worth half a million—”

“It’s fine. Moreover...” Lou Qianxue looked at the young men and women again. “They are from the actual Moonlight Clan.”

Lou Potian sucked in a breath of cold air. He had yet to come back to his senses when...

“Five hundred thousand tales each. I want them all,” Lou Qianxue said with a calm expression.

Whoosh!

These words shocked everyone, and they looked at Lou Qianxue in unison.

“Is this young lady stupid because she is rich?”

“She’s actually buying all of them...”

“Five hundred thousand taels for one! There are eighteen of them; that’s nine million taels! She’s spending almost ten million taels just to buy a few skinny, small children. Is something wrong with her brain?”
