"...Young master, you are very fortunate. I will certainly keep my word. You may take this wine worm. I will also bring you the instructions on how to feed it."

Despite the unfavorable start, the naturalized merchant readily agreed. After all, honesty is paramount in business, and a damaged reputation is practically ruined. Moreover, breaking a contract with a young master of clearly high status might mean being unable to even leave Qingmang City.

"Great idea! I won't take advantage of you. Just give me one of each of these items and have them delivered directly to Qingmaoju in Niujiao Alley in the south of the city. If you're not in a hurry to leave, I'll give you another big deal!"

As Dao Chengyi's words spread, discussions arose among the crowd. It was about a martial arts genius in Niujiao Alley in the south of the city who rose from humble beginnings to showcase his talent at a martial arts school. This kind of underdog story was very popular among the general public.

Just listening to the fragmented words, the naturalized merchant was delighted and became even more respectful. As Dao Chengyi left, the naturalized merchant who had put up his signboard welcomed a surge of customers. After all, everyone wants to try their luck and get something for free!

Dao Chengyi then looked around at other places. Overall, apart from the naturalized merchants at the beginning, there were no other products that Dao Chengyi was very satisfied with.

Even with Ma Yunlai by his side, they didn't see anything good. It was clear that some things were a matter of chance. Dao Chengyi thought with regret that he had casually gambled on stones and found some jadeite and gemstones of excellent quality.

Finally, when they arrived at a place where foreign merchants specialized in buying and selling slaves, Dao Chengyi unexpectedly ran into a certain sycophantic young master who was causing him trouble.

"I must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today, because I ran into some unclean people as soon as I met them."

Flipping his fan, Shang Bolai, dressed in a dapper manner but lacking in taste in clothing, appearance, and talent, looked at Dao Chengyi with malice.

"If your eyes are dirty, everything you see will be dirty. What's going on, young master Shang, instead of mourning your true love today, you've come to this slave trader to buy a maid?"

Dao Chengyi looked at him coldly, thinking that once the new Soul Dao Gu was released, he would make sure this person had a good time with his white moonlight in the underworld.

"...You bastard! Qingya's death is definitely related to you! You'll pay the price sooner or later!"

When it came to Xiao Qingya, this young master, who had been with countless women, instantly lost his composure and gritted his teeth as he hurled insults at Dao Chengyi.

But anyone can talk a good game. Dao Cheng glanced at him sideways and then entered the merchant's courtyard. It just so happened that one of his maids was about to leave and he needed to replace her.
