LSLFBW: Chapter 102 Part 1

Qi Bai snorted coldly. “Don’t even think about it.”

Yan reminded in a trembling voice, “This is Hu Wei (Tiger Tail). He is the child of an elder of the Xushan Tribe.”

Qi Bai didn’t care if he was Tiger Tail or Dragon Tail. No one could snatch Lang Ze away from him.

Hu Wei asked, “What do you want? Salt, food or animal skins? Or I can exchange two, no, three slaves with you. As long as you put forward the conditions, I can agree to it.”

Qi Bai laughed angrily. “What great thing do you have?”

Hu Wei had never been contradicted like this. He swung his bone whip and said, “You are looking for death.”

There was a clanging sound.

The bone knife and bone whip met in the air.

The originally watching beastmen were frightened by the sparks produced by the friction between weapons and stepped back.

The beastmen of these small tribes rarely saw bone tools made of bird bones in their entire lives. At this moment, many of them had fear on their faces.

Hu Wei hadn’t expected the other party to actually have a bone knife, and his movements slowed down slightly.

Qi Bai seized this opportunity and reached out to grab Hu Wei’s bone whip.

Hu Wei realized that his weapon was being controlled. He immediately became furious and used brute force to try to get his bone whip back.

Qi Bai’s eyes were sharp as if he had been waiting for this moment.

The bone whip was stuck in the hands of the two of them. In the blink of an eye, Hu Wei’s body fell forward.

“Ah!” With a shout, Hu Wei fell heavily to the ground, and the bone whip fell into Qi Bai’s hands.

There was silence all around. The onlookers looked at each other, not understanding what just happened.

Only Lang Ze, who was standing behind Qi Bai, smiled. It seemed that all the training these days hadn’t been in vain.

Qi Bai relaxed when Hu Wei was exerting force, and used all his strength when finishing this move. It was a type of cleverness that allowed Qi Bai to remove the opponent’s weapon in almost an instant.

“Wei!”

”Wei!”

After being stunned for a while, the two people following Hu Wei finally reacted. They rushed forward and helped Hu Wei up from the ground.

“Pah!” Hu Wei spat out the dust in his mouth. He pushed the two men away in frustration, glared at Qi Bai viciously, and turned to leave.

“Wait.”

The same words were reversed in just a few moments. Hu Wei gritted his teeth, his eyes as sharp as knives.

But Qi Bai didn’t humiliate him as expected. Instead, he threw the bone whip in his hand over.

Hu Wei took the bone whip in a daze. It was a very precious bird bone tool. Qi Bai also had a bone knife and must have known its value, but he returned the bone whip so easily.

Qi Bai’s expression was sterner than ever. “He is mine. I won’t exchange him for anything.”

Hu Wei shook his head. “He… He is just a slave.”

Qi Bai didn’t waste any more words with him. He turned to look at Lang Ze. “Let’s go.” The two of them left without looking back.

Hu Wei looked at the bone whip in his hand, expression full of unwillingness and struggle.

“Wei,” one of the beastmen said cautiously. “Let’s go.”

After Qi Bai and Lang Ze left, they became the only focus of the crowd. Hu Wei was covered in mud, and the two of them didn’t dare to step forward to clean him. They could only remind him in a low voice.

Hu Wei looked up in the direction where Qi Bai and Lang Ze left, and clenched his fists. “He is just a slave.”

Qi Bai walked while looking at Lang Ze’s face. “Or should you cover your face like those wandering beastmen?”

What happened today made Qi Bai a bit alert.

Hu Wei just now offered so many conditions just to get Lang Ze. Judging from the other person’s performance, he shouldn’t know Lang Ze but Qi Bai still had to take this issue seriously.

After all, Lang Ze was once a slave of a small tribe. If that tribe came to the door, how would they respond?

In addition, Qi Bai hadn’t considered whether the enemy that once wiped out the Silver Moon Tribe would also be able to recognize Lang Ze.

Lang Ze said as if sensing Qi Bai’s concerns, “Do you remember how I looked when you first saw me last year?”

Qi Bai thought about the decadent boy with a cold face. Then he looked at the tall young man with a determined gaze beside him and suddenly smiled.

Maybe it was because the two of them had never been apart for a long time, but Qi Bai suddenly realized that Lang Ze had changed so much in just one year. If they hadn’t been together all the time, it would be difficult to connect the two people.

As the two of them were talking, Lang Ze suddenly reached out and grabbed the two figures running forward. “What are you going to do in such a hurry?”

Xi Zhou and Hu Qiao were blocked and discovered Qi Bai and Lang Ze standing on the side of the road.

Hu Qiao said with bright eyes, “Xi Zhou and I were just exchanging things in front when we heard people say that there was a fight here.”

Qi Bai: “……”

Hu Qiao said, “Bao Bai, come on. Let’s go and see what is happening!”

Xi Zhou secretly pulled Hu Qiao, who turned around in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

Qi Bai clenched his fists and coughed lightly. “Don’t worry about the people who started a fight. There is a very important matter I want to hand over to you now.”

Next to the Wheat Tribe, a middle-aged man crossed his arms and said with a smile, “Yan, I have already told you that no one would exchange your beans but you still don’t believe it.”

Yan hung his head and was about to tie the animal skin bag again when a hand suddenly stopped him. Yan looked up and saw a handsome boy, who asked with a smile, “What is this?”

Due to Hu Wei’s matter, Qi Bai was no longer in the mood to hang around. “Let’s go down to business first.”

This time, the Black Mountain Tribe came to Xushan for the trading day for an important mission. Purchasing animal skins and seeds was just a side job.

Qi Bai squatted in front of a stall displaying crystal clear stones. He had never bought precious gems in his previous life, but these pure natural stones with pure colors were obviously valuable at first glance.

Of course, to the beastmen, these gems were just decorations with no practical use.

Even so, there were several young beastmen gathered here at the moment. They seemed to be horned beastmen. They exchanged these gems in order to give them to sub-beastmen during the mating season in late autumn.

Qi Bai fiddled with the gems on the stall, but his attention was completely focused on the back of the stall.

He saw several skinny slaves tied up with straw ropes to the side of the tent like livestock.

Qi Bai asked, “Why are these people tied up?”

The stall owner looked back. “They are slaves from our tribe. There were too few prey last autumn and winter, and several of them died. This year, we plan to exchange them for some salt.”

Qi Bai said, “Our tribe just needs to buy some slaves. Why not exchange them with me?”

The owner of the stall shook his head. “I would’ve exchanged these slaves with you if you had come a day earlier.”

Seeing that he stopped talking, Qi Bai waved the stones in his hand. “I want all these stones. How much salt do you need?”

The stall owner smiled and quickly took out a small bowl from behind him. “I need this much salt.”

As Lang Ze poured the salt into the stone bowl, Qi Bai continued to ask, “Why can’t you give them to me now?”

The stall owner collected the salt and really said more. “It is your first time coming to the Xushan Trading Day, right?”

Qi Bai nodded. There was no need to hide this.

Due to the heavy rain, there were many more tribes that migrated from the East to the Northern Wilderness on this year’s Xushan Trading Day. These outsiders weren’t difficult to identify for the indigenous people of the Northern Wilderness.

“I guess so, or you wouldn’t be unaware of this rule.” The man pointed to the northwest corner of the wooden fence. “Here, all slave contracts must pass through the Rough Wood Tribe.”

He looked at the slaves beside the tent with disdain. “They have been like this for a few days, and no one traded for them. It was delayed until the Rough Wood Tribe arrived. Now they will be exchanged for less salt.”

However, even if they could only exchange for a little bit of salt, they had to send the slaves to the stalls of the Rough Wood Tribe.

The reason was very simple. The Rough Wood Tribe was a tribe wandering the Northern Wilderness. Once they angered the Rough Wood Tribe, they didn’t dare to imagine what a small tribe like theirs would face.

Qi Bai hadn’t expected for the slave trade to be monopolized. No wonder why the beastman said he could’ve sold it to them one day earlier, since the Rough Wood Tribe arrived yesterday for the trading day.
