Qin Xiao led Ye Qingya and the other two women into this dark and cannibalistic prison.

Calling it a dark and gloomy prison wouldn't be quite right; at least the surrounding pearls give it a certain style.

However, the atmosphere inside is far too terrifying.

The sea people, both men and women, showed almost no reaction, each immersed in their own grief.

Qin Xiao looked around and found that there were roughly a hundred prison cells, and that was only what he could see; there were probably many more that he hadn't yet seen.

Qin Xiao wanted to probe further, "This kind of stuff probably won't do. Do you have any better stuff?"

The fat man smiled obsequiously, "Yes, yes, don't worry, sir. We've been operating here for over a decade and have collected quite a few top-quality items."

But this price... hehe, is it acceptable to you, sir?"

Qin Xiao didn't speak, but Ye Qingya took a step forward in response.

"Are you blind? My man would never be short of such a small thing. Just bring up the good stuff!"

Ye Qingya flipped her hand, and three diamond-grade spirit crystals appeared in her hand.

Although the fat man was only at the Gold rank, his eyesight was exceptional, and he immediately recognized that the spirit crystal was a high-grade item.

His expression turned serious at first, but then became even more cloyingly ingratiating.

"Please wait a moment, sir, the finest goods will be here shortly!"

As he spoke, the fat man pulled over the errand boy beside him and muttered a few instructions.

The servant quickly ran away, and the entire cell became lively in an instant.

Even the sea creatures around Qin Xiao overheard their conversation and glared at him angrily.

The slave trade and the brutal exploitation of my people—this hatred would frighten most people.

His eyes held undisguised murderous intent and hatred.

Qin Xiao's expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

To be honest, in his personal opinion, he could accept even if there were wars every year and countless lives lost.

However, such inhumane and cruel acts that trample on living beings are truly disturbing.

Soon, while Qin Xiao and his group were still walking around the prison cell, a servant came running over from a distance.

"My lord, we are ready!"

The fat man's eyes lit up. "Sir, please follow me. The goods are ready."

Qin Xiao nodded without saying a word and followed the fat man.

As the prison cell was moved deeper into the building, it turned and twisted until it entered a grand hall with deep and ornate decorations.

The hall was brightly lit by candles and pearls.

A blood-red curtain hangs on the high platform, and a birdcage-shaped cage is placed on the platform.

One of the female sea creatures was wearing clothes, but they were very revealing, almost entirely consisting of only three points.

This isn't because of humanitarian concerns, but because some customers have specific requirements and don't want goods that have been seen by others.

The female sea creature's race was initially unclear; only the corners of her eyes and forehead had colorful, fine scales, otherwise she resembled a human.

The woman was handcuffed and suspended inside a birdcage, with a sea pearl stuffed in her mouth, her face showing humiliation and numbness.

Qin Xiao looked at the fat man, his eyes filled with doubt, "What's going on?"

The fat man took out the booklet and said, "This sea creature is a Rainbow Fish Clan, which is a race with a far-reaching reputation for beauty among sea creatures."

The people of the Rainbow Fish tribe, regardless of gender, possess a unique fragrance, and when they are excited, their colorful scales emit a five-colored glow.

Moreover, the flesh of the Rainbow Fish is delicious, and most importantly... hehe, when you eat it, the fish will also emit colorful light, which is truly magnificent and flawless.

The Rainbow Fish species is becoming increasingly rare, and major marine species have been vying to keep it off the export list for twenty years.

This colorful fish is newly matured; we caught it a few days ago. You can't find such a good specimen anywhere else."

Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice, "You mean the other race has already been removed from the protection list?"

He asked curiously.

The fat man wasn't surprised at all; most of these wealthy outsiders would be curious about these questions.

"My lord, you may not know this, but although the Rainbow Fish Clan has been removed from the list, they do live in this sea area."

There's market demand, so we'll still make arrests, but it will have to be done covertly, and the arrests will be much more difficult.

The fat man said, feeling smug. With this in mind, how could the young nobleman not be eager to buy it?

The Rainbow Fish are indeed a rare commodity, because they are both delicious and fun, especially as an intelligent species.

The spell keeps the other person's consciousness suspended, allowing them to eat while watching the radiant glow, savoring the delicious meat, and enjoying the agonizing struggles and screams of their collapse.

This is one of the things that some people in Guixu consider essential to enjoy in life.

Qin Xiao's expression was cold. "What's the price?"

The fat man rubbed his hands together. "Hehe, it's not expensive at all. It only costs a hundred platinum-grade spirit crystals. You know, it would cost at least double in the market."

Qin Xiao nodded. "Yes, it's really not expensive. Do you have any more?"

The fat man was taken aback. It seemed that this young nobleman was not only very rich, but also very ambitious.

The fat man didn't seem to care about any of that; if he said that, he was definitely going to make a lot of purchases.

"Yes, yes, yes, there are many more top-quality items, next one!"

The other party shouted loudly, and more birdcages were pushed out from behind the curtain.

The birdcage containing the colorful fish was pushed away.

Qin Xiao immediately recognized the race of the new products that were brought up.

This is also a female member of the sea tribe. It's probably because Qin Xiao is male that they are promoting products for women.

However, this is a race similar to an octopus, and its face is somewhat bizarre.

However, it is still extremely beautiful and has a unique smooth texture.

This strange feeling didn't make people uncomfortable; on the contrary, it had a kind of intriguing and strange attraction.

Besides her two legs, the other person's lower body also had six octopus-like legs, three in the front and three in the back, which were as white as her thighs.

Seeing Qin Xiao so engrossed in watching, the fat man chuckled, "Sir, sir, have you taken a fancy to him?"

Qin Xiao nodded. "Let me introduce you."

The fat man coughed lightly, "This woman is from the Jade Ring Octopus Clan. Her flesh is firm and elastic, and her body is soft and boneless, so she can make almost any pose."

Most importantly, hehe, the Jade Ring Octopus Clan has a powerful vitality and the ability to regenerate. If you only eat her legs, you can practically live indefinitely...

Good heavens, even Qin Xiao was shocked... He had come in a fit of rage, but after hearing these bits and pieces...

A slight surge of excitement and possessiveness even welled up within him.

This right to completely control others is absolute possession, which truly stirs up the dark side of one's heart.

And this octopus woman, wow, she can be reused, who can resist that?

Able to eat, sleep, and play...

Whew~

Qin Xiao exhaled a breath of stale air, shifted his attention, and asked about the important matter.

How many of these kinds of goods do you have here?

The fat man asked in surprise, "Oh, so you've bought everything, sir?"

Qin Xiao remained noncommittal, saying, "Answer me first."

The fat man nodded. "These kinds of goods are rare, and I don't have many here. Good goods have become increasingly difficult to find in recent years. I still have about a hundred or so here."

Qin Xiao picked up his cup, took a sip of his drink, and asked casually.

"The new world master has just issued a notice to all departments, ordering the closure of all meat processing activities pending the new master's review. Are you aware of this, sir?"
