The voice was so soft that if it weren't for John being a Half-Step Transcendent, he might not have heard it at all.
He stopped in surprise and looked at Iman. "Oh, what’s the matter, little Iman?" Although it was a question, his tone was anything but gentle.
Noticing John's displeasure, Iman quickly knelt down and began to kiss his shoes frantically. This was the way the slave traders had taught them to apologize.
Seeing that a slave he had sold dared to make demands of her master frightened him, and he picked up a whip nearby, ready to strike. "Don't worry, dear customer, we from the Defias Brotherhood will definitely help you replace this slave."
He waved his hand dismissively, pulling his foot back from where Iman had been kissing it. John suppressed his irritation; he was curious about what this Female Slave wanted to say.
"Go ahead, what do you want to say? This might be your last chance to speak."
Kuiradi stepped behind Iman, drawing his sword.
Iman cautiously lifted her head, her eyes filled with tears. The fear made her face twitch as she pointed frantically at a nearby cage.
John looked over at the cage containing Li Zhi and the rain-soaked Iman, finding himself increasingly intrigued. He chuckled; it seemed he was becoming more twisted.
"Oh? Do you know anyone in that cage?"
She nodded vigorously. After a long pause, Iman finally spoke. "That girl in the cage is my sister. Could you please buy her too, Master?"
Sister. He had thought she might be another Black Pearl, only to discover she was just a plain little girl.
Bending down, he brought his head close to Iman's ear and whispered softly, "This is the first and last time. Remember to work hard later."
"Kuiradi, put away your sword! Bring that girl too."
"Yes, my lord."
Kuiradi, the burly man, yanked open the iron door binding the cage and hoisted the little girl onto his shoulder.
"Complete the transaction and bring them along."
Once it was done, John Ke had no intention of staying overnight in Wutan City. He knew that staying in town required lodging at an inn; otherwise, one would have to pay an overnight tax. With nearly four hundred people in his group, John didn’t want to waste money on such fees.
Outside the city, at the temporary camp...
"Haha, Iman, let me see if you have any little Mysterious Secrets!"
"Don't move, don't move!"
A thousand words were omitted here. Although he had not yet reached Transcendent, John Ke had experienced a night of passion seven times.
As the morning light filtered through the tent and illuminated the bodies of the man and woman on the bed, John's good habits had him waking up early. However, upon seeing Black Pearl Iman beside him, he felt no desire to get up and practice the Holy Light Fighting Training Method.
No wonder King Zhou was reluctant to attend court; this was just Black Pearl. What would happen if it were Nu Daji?
Iman, startled awake by John's muttering, instinctively tried to get up to serve him. But as soon as she moved, a tearing sensation in her lower body reminded her to take it easy.
"Alright, don’t move. I've seen your Mysterious Secret already; just rest."
He pressed Iman down gently, allowing her to recuperate. John was not one to disregard a woman's well-being; at the very least, he wanted her to rest a bit. Otherwise, how would she have the strength for later?
Looking at John, Iman suddenly felt compelled to share something with him about her Mysterious Secret.
"Master, I still have a Mysterious Secret I haven't told you—I'm capable of witchcraft."
