Logistics work involved delivering juice and towels during training, preparing medicinal baths, and spending free time cultivating, practicing massage, and yoga.
After all, the team's training lasted only two hours a day....logistics were manageable.
"Really? Our logistics team has a new girl?!"
Xue Ke's eyes sparkled. Logistics was boring without DouDou, but now there'd be someone to talk to.
Xue Ke, standing 1.45 meters tall, approached the cat-girl, about 1.6 meters tall. Despite the height difference, Xue Ke's aura felt stronger.
"Miss, what's your name? I'm Xue Ke, part of the Tianshui logistics team. Welcome!"
The cat-girl was momentarily stunned but stammered out her name:
"My name is Jiang Jing. I… I was bought at the auction house by my master."
Xue Ke's eyes widened. She looked at Yuan Longxuan, seeking confirmation.
"Yes, she was bought from the Tiandou Auction House. She's a bit rebellious, so I only gave her a slight punishment."
There was no need to hide it. Yuan Longxuan hadn't mentioned it earlier out of consideration for Jiang Jing's feelings....being bought as a slave made her uneasy. But since she mentioned it, he saw no reason to hide it.
"Ah? So you were also bought by Brother Yuan Longxuan?!"
Xue Ke was thrilled! She knew she had been bought herself!
Yuan Longxuan's face darkened. Did the girl not understand how that sounded? She made him seem like a child trafficker.
The cat-girl also froze at Xue Ke's words. Also?
"Hehe, to tell the truth, I was also bought by Brother Yuan Longxuan.
My ex-father owed him money, so he used me to settle 500 million gold soul coins.
By the way, how much did he pay for you?"
"I… I…"
The little cat-girl Jiang Jing stammered "I" three times, unable to get out a fourth word. Seriously, sister, is being mortgaged for 500 million gold soul coins really something to be proud of?
Yuan Longxuan: Did I mishear? How is this little girl's thought process so… bizarre?
Indeed, Yuan Longxuan was completely speechless.
Xue Ke: I'm worth 500 million, and I'm proud! How much are you worth?
"I… I was bought by my master for 3.5 million gold soul coins."
Utterly helpless. Completely helpless. Absolutely helpless.
Jiang Jing had never encountered such audacity. At this moment, she wondered....could it be that all the girls here had been bought by this red-masked man?
"Fine, you little girl, you're always causing me trouble. Alright, this little cat-girl is yours to train."
Yuan Longxuan pinched her delicate, cute cheeks, while Xue Ke seized the moment to remove his mask.
"Pop~"
Without warning, she leaned forward and planted a sweet kiss on him.
"Hehe, don't worry, Brother Yuan Longxuan. Xue Ke guarantees to complete the mission!"
With the mask removed, the seal broken, the ethereal beauty granted by the system was undeniable.
"Well, then you should take good care of her. If this little cat-girl misbehaves, come find me."
Jiang Jing looked up at Yuan Longxuan timidly. She didn't see him clearly, only that he appeared handsome.
The only rule Yuan Longxuan gave her was simple: she could not harm him or any of the other girls.
Just like Zhu Zhuyun back then, Yuan Longxuan gave her the greatest freedom. She would never lack food, clothing, or shelter.
However, Zhu Zhuyun had been sensible and clever, and after joining the team, she integrated well with the other girls.
Later, Yuan Longxuan removed her slave mark. After all, it was inappropriate for her to bear it after becoming his companion.
If Zhu Zhuyun had been disobedient and tried to escape, Yuan Longxuan would have made her a true slave.
The same applied to this little cat-girl. He could understand her initial resistance, but continued defiance would not be tolerated.
After all, he never considered himself a pushover.
He couldn't force ordinary girls, but the slaves he bought were not ordinary. Slaves should behave like slaves.
He treated them fairly and equally....but only if they lived well and caused no trouble. Otherwise, being bought by some nobles would have been far worse.
As for being bought by Ning Fengzhi… Heh. Do you really think that old man is kind-hearted? Only those who profit would spend money to help someone find their daughter. Yuan Longxuan was no different.
