Chapter 265 Selling at a High Price
In the end, the matter was left unresolved and Xia Yueke was not punished. They seemed to have forgotten her.
Until the arrival of the large stray beast trading day that Lizard mentioned.
Xia Yueke was finally released. Because she had been restrained for a long time, her hands and feet were slightly red and her limbs were weak.
Xia Yueke followed the team with difficulty, with a look of frustration in her eyes. Could it be that she was replaced by a stray beast?
Her mood began to grow heavy, and the manager was in a state of anxiety. She only hoped that if she was really replaced, she could protect this child...
Xia Yueke thought so and sucked in her stomach again, hoping that her belly would not look too bloated. If it was discovered, she would be in trouble.
This time when Lizard came out, he only killed ten stray orcs, all of whom were the strongest.
When they arrived at the valley, many stray animals had already gathered there. Some of them had sharp fangs or scales that glowed with cold light. They all had terrifying appearances, and only a few of them looked normal.
They all have various things displayed in their territories, some of which look like Warcraft horns, or other various strange and bizarre things. Maybe the stray beasts are interested in these.
In addition, there were many teams like Lizard, who brought a group of females. As soon as they entered the valley, they were immediately surrounded by stray beasts.
For a moment, noisy discussions rang in my ears.
"This female is pretty, I like her..." A huge stray beast said with greedy eyes, staring at a girl next to Xia Yueke.
"That one is better, the chubby one, so it will be easier for me to give birth to my baby!"
The other stray beast licked its lips, not trying to hide its desire.
Then Xia Yueke felt a strong gaze sweeping over her, and her heart skipped a beat.
So the chubby and fertile female that the stray beast was talking about was himself?
Could it be that she's looking for a belly? That's why she looks chubby from a distance?
Xia Yueke looked at her belly and sighed silently, "Baby, you are so great!"
The stray animals around were talking to each other, and the determination in their eyes was almost overflowing.
Their eyes were like cold knives, scouting these females as if they were already in their pockets.
Xia Yueke bit her lips tightly, her heart filled with fear, but at the same time she also felt a strong desire to survive.
"Quick! Stand still and be quiet!"
Shushan was yelling at the top of his lungs, and he roughly drove the females to the center like livestock, his movements full of impatience.
Scolded by Shushan, the females trembled and stood in rows at the designated location in Lizard God's territory.
Their faces were filled with fear and despair, and their eyes showed helplessness, like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Xia Yueke's heart tightened, and she instinctively wanted to shrink to the innermost part of the team, trying to find a sense of security among the crowd.
But just as she moved her feet slightly and before she could stand firm, she felt a strong and brutal force suddenly grab her and pull her to the outermost edge like a chicken.
At the same time, Xige's eerie and cold voice rang in her ears: "You, stand at the very outside!"
Xia Yueke was helpless, but did not dare to resist, so she could only stand obediently at the outside.
She lowered her head slightly, her bangs covering her eyes, so no one could see the anger burning in her eyes at this moment.
She cursed secretly in her heart, expressing all her resentment towards Xige and Shushan, but on the surface she could only try her best to remain calm, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
Afterwards, Lizard's cunning eyes swept back and forth among the female team. With a malicious smile on his lips, he deliberately pulled out several females with outstanding looks from the team.
In his eyes, these females are nothing more than bargaining chips to attract stray animals and a "show of face" to increase the transaction value.
After everything was arranged, Xige walked to the back with satisfaction, his eyes showing pride and calculation.
"I want this!" A sudden voice suddenly sounded, breaking the chaos around Xia Yueke.
At that time, Xia Yueke was immersed in his own thoughts, and he seemed to have lost his soul.
The sudden shouting made her tremble violently, and her body tensed up instantly. She slowly raised her head and saw a huge crocodile beastman.
There were only a few wisps of messy green hair hanging on his face, like a bunch of withered weeds. The green leather jacket that was tight on his body not only had no aesthetic appeal, but also made him look like a down-and-out and weird tramp, with a bit of absurd and unruly air.
The crocodile orc's eyes, as big as green beans, looked up and down Xia Yueke wantonly. His gaze was like a sticky stain, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
Then, he pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that he thought was extremely charming, but was actually extremely ferocious, and said:
"Little female, go home with your brother Crocodile~"
The voice was hoarse and contained a hint of sickening flattery.
Upon hearing this, Xi Ge glanced at E Ba, and a typical profiteer's smile instantly appeared on his face. "Fifteen cyan beast cores. If you can afford them, take them away. If you can't afford them, don't waste your time here and get out of here!"
His tone was cold and firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
When Eba heard the price, the expression on his face instantly became very strange, and his facial features were wrinkled together, as if he had heard some fairy tale.
"No way, why is she so expensive? Females from other places only have ten cyan beast cores at most, and ordinary ones only have five. And you have one here..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise, his tone full of shock and unwillingness.
It was easy to tell from his reaction that the price was far beyond his affordability and he simply couldn't afford it.
The other stray animals around heard the noise and looked over.
Some of them sneered in low voices with glee, as if they were laughing at E Ba's joke; others showed greedy expressions, their eyes wandering back and forth between Xia Yueke and other females, thinking about their own "purchasing plans".
A boar orc grinned, revealing his sharp fangs, and whispered to his companion next to him, "This kid has no money but still wants to pick the best. He doesn't even consider his own character."
A pangolin orc narrowed his eyes and stared at a tall female standing in the middle, his eyes revealing his determination to win.
Xia Yueke stood there quietly, feeling mixed emotions. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she should be glad that it was not sold because of the high price, or angry that she was being arbitrarily priced and bought and sold like a commodity.
The two emotions intertwined and surged in her heart, making her feel even heavier.
E Ba looked at the group of stray beasts behind Xige, who were staring at him hungrily, swallowed, and a trace of fear flashed across his face.
After weighing the pros and cons, he could only grit his teeth and turn away reluctantly.
His steps were slow, and he would look back at Xia Yueke from time to time as he walked, mumbling something, as if he was still regretting that he couldn't get her.
At this moment, the rat beastman quickly stepped forward, pointed at the tall female, and said to Lizard in a straightforward manner:
"I want this, ten cyan beast cores, deal!"
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Xige's eyes and he nodded in agreement.
The female's eyes were filled with despair, but she was powerless to resist. She could only be dragged away by the rat beastmen amid the laughter of the surrounding stray beasts.
Soon after, a bear beastman also took a fancy to a sweet-looking female. After some bargaining, he finally bought her for eight cyan beast cores.
The female was so frightened that her face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes, but she still couldn't escape the fate of being sold.
As the transaction progressed, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more frenzied. More and more females were bought by stray animals, but Xia Yueke still stood there, not knowing what her fate would be.
