Ji Xian turned to look at Li Youmi, smiled indulgently, and said nothing.

He used to be shy and wouldn't dare to reach out to hug me, but now he's much bolder.

Ji Xian stopped in his tracks, looked around, and suddenly his gaze became critical.

The slaves he was looking for were to build houses for him, so they had to be reliable.

He suddenly realized that buying slaves to build houses was not so easy and required a lot of consideration.

In addition to considering the loyalty of the slaves, it is also necessary to ensure that the houses built are safe.

Loyalty is actually easy to solve; just put a slave collar on a slave, and the issue of loyalty disappears. Although Ji Xian was reluctant to do this, sometimes he had no choice but to do certain things to ensure his own safety.

Loyalty is not a primary concern for now; the most important thing is the safety of the house.

In order for the houses to be built to be safe enough, the slaves bought back must not be ordinary slaves.

It requires at least one or more masters in the construction industry.

Ji Xian doesn't usually like to use his brain, but when he does, he can think about a lot of things.

Xia Luoxue didn't think too much about it; she would just listen to Ji Xian no matter what.

The only other person who thinks a lot here is Li Youmi.

Her gaze went directly to the pillar that had once tied her to.

People were still tied to the pillar.

Seeing this evoked memories.

I feel terrible.

If she hadn't met Ji Xian, she would already be dead.

Li Youmi was lost in unpleasant memories when she heard a familiar voice.

"Sir, which type of slave would you like to buy? You can come and choose one here."

Li Youmi was initially taken aback.

That voice is so familiar!

It was the slave owner who tormented her day and night.

Li Youmi felt a burning hatred every time she thought about it.

He looked up at the slave owner.

He was still the same as always, the same annoying one, with a normal human arm on one side and a robot arm on the other.

Li Youmi instinctively looked away when she saw this person.

Even with the deepest hatred in one's heart, the fear etched into one's bones has not completely disappeared.

Ji Xian said, "I want to buy slaves who are skilled in construction."

The slave owner said, "Sir, I remember you. It's still strange that you're buying slaves. I remember you were looking for slaves who could program."

Ji Xian was surprised: "You have a pretty good memory."

"Of course. Ordinary people buy slaves to do dirty and hard work. Only you are looking for high-end talent. The reason I remember you so well is because you were very interested in one of my slaves before, which made me remember you."

Ji Xian smiled and said, "I see."

When the slave owner spoke, Li Youmi always looked at him with a hateful yet timid gaze.

This is how the slave owner came to notice Li Youmi.

The slave owner suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, when you went to look for the slaves I had abandoned, did you find them?"

Ji Xian frowned. It would have been better if he hadn't brought it up, because it made Ji Xian angry.

A little girl was injured, and they didn't even try to save her; they just abandoned her and left her to die.

It wasn't that Ji Xian had taken pity on Li Youmi and went to look for her; by then, Li Youmi was already dead.

When asked about this, Ji Xian naturally didn't give him a good look and said unhappily, "This has nothing to do with you, so stop asking around."

The slave owner was always obsequious, trying to please his customers and hoping they would buy his slaves so he could make a profit.

At this point, he also discovered something, and his temper turned sour, losing its previous good temper.

"Hey sir, you stole my slave, and you still have the nerve to complain?"

Clearly, he had already discovered Li Youmi.

Li Youmi is now much taller and prettier than before.

The slave owner couldn't tell at a glance.

Previously, Ji Xian came to the slave market with Xia Luoxue, but now there are three of them. With one more person, the slave owner can't help but take a closer look.

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.

Isn't this the slave I threw away?

They actually managed to take them back and save their lives!

Since he lost it, it's perfectly reasonable for him to want it back, right?

Ji Xian laughed and said, "What do you mean, your slave? Where did you see me steal your slave?"

The slave owner pointed at Li Youmi and said, "My slave is right here. What can you say? Isn't this the slave you stole from me?"

Ji Xian smiled and said, "No, you're wrong. I don't have any slaves here, so there's no question of me stealing your slaves."

"But this is my slave."

Li Youmi was also angry, like a kitten: "You're talking nonsense, I'm not a slave!"

The slave owner retorted angrily, "Ha! Still trying to argue? You really deserve a beating!"

The slave owner, who was used to whipping Li Youmi, now extended his mechanical arm to grab Li Youmi and beat her.

Ji Xian's expression changed, and he was about to intervene.

Li Youmi's pretty face turned red with anger. Just as the slave owner's mechanical arm was about to grab her, she swayed slightly to avoid the slave owner's claws.

Then she grabbed the slave owner's mechanical arm and with a forceful pull, a crisp "crack" sounded as Li Youmi disassembled the slave owner's mechanical arm.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

The slave owner stared at Li Youmi in disbelief: "You, you, how could you, how could you remove my mechanical prosthetic limb?"

Li Youmi looked at her hands in disbelief; she hadn't expected herself to be so strong.

She glanced at Ji Xian subconsciously. Ji Xian's face remained expressionless, which emboldened Li Youmi: "Fine, we'll tear it down then. What do you want?"
