Black Snake said, "I'll offer 100, you'll offer 90, I'll offer 95, you'll offer 85, keep negotiating the price down little by little."

Jemoka nodded: "Okay, let's do it again."

Black Snake said, "My female slave is priced at 100."

Jemoka asked, "Would you sell it for 90?"

"Sell!" Black Snake grinned broadly. "She's yours now."

Jemoka: "???"

Something's not right.

Jemoka: "Wait a minute, your bargaining isn't right."

Black Snake said, "Something's not right. I offered 100, you offered 90, and I'll sell."

"Huh?" Jemoka realized that he had been tricked.

He'd spent his whole life in business, only to be outsmarted by a robber.

He spent his whole life playing with eagles, only to have one of them peck out his eye.

It's truly like swallowing a bitter pill; you can't express your suffering.

Jemoka said dejectedly, "Fine, fine, transfer the control of the slave collar around this female slave's neck to me."

Jemoka transferred 90 energy points to Black Serpent, and Black Serpent in turn transferred control of the slave collar to Jemoka.

Black Snake was overjoyed; he never expected Li Lianfang to fetch so much money.

He initially saw Li Lianfang's potential value and spent a regeneration potion worth 40 energy points to save her. And indeed, as he wished, Li Lianfang led her team and earned back the 40 energy points he had invested.

Unexpectedly, by reselling her now, I've made another fortune.

Black Snake kicked Li Lianfang, who was lying on the ground, powerless from the electric shock, and said, "Get up. From now on, this is your new master."

Li Lianfang paused for a moment, then got up.

He glanced at Jemoka, said nothing, and it didn't matter anymore.

There was no light left in her eyes.
