#164 - Chapter 164 Supplement

Hong Niang and Yu Niang were close friends who talked about everything.

When Cheng Feng worked hard to save up enough merit points, Yu Niang mentioned something about Hong Niang.

Yu Niang's talent was a great help to him, so Cheng Feng naturally took her words to heart.

Moreover, Hong Niang's demeanor as a virtuous housewife also matched Cheng Feng's aesthetic standards.

Naturally, he had also considered taking Hong Niang into his household.

This was a perfect opportunity to make Yu Niang and Hong Niang true confidantes.

Sometimes, Cheng Feng couldn't help but wonder where those peerless beauties were.

Oh? Someone said they were at the Yi Xiang Brothel?

Cheng Feng looked at the brothel, which was not yet open for business in the early morning, and a ripple arose in his heart. But then he thought that his money should be used for proper purposes, and he still felt it was more appropriate to buy a few more women.

In addition, he also needed to pay attention to whether there were people with good martial arts aptitude. After all, he still had nearly five hundred taels of silver, which could be used to buy more people to prepare for going to the prefectural city in the future.

Now that Cheng Feng had stepped into the early stage of Bone Refinement, he no longer regarded the so-called unspoken rules of Qingxi County as a constraint.

When Wu Feng's injuries were fully recovered and he returned to the Hongmen, Cheng Feng was ready to do something big.

After all, the Hongmen had been established for nearly a year, and now it was time to show its true strength and occupy more and larger territories.

When Cheng Feng arrived at the human market, he was greeted by the same clerk who had served him last time. Knowing Cheng Feng's preferences, the clerk didn't say a word and led him straight to the backyard.

After all, Cheng Feng was a generous regular customer and had to be treated well.

Today, Cheng Feng was not in a hurry because there were no urgent matters to deal with in either the Hongmen or the Cheng residence. So he slowly took care of his own business.

Walking into the room in the backyard, it was crowded with all kinds of women, more than before, and it seemed particularly crowded.

Among them, the vast majority of the women had disheveled hair, haggard faces, and tattered clothes. Cheng Feng looked at the clerk and asked, "Are these people all voluntarily selling themselves from outside the city?"

The clerk smiled and said, "Of course! These are the ones that were left over after being picked! The world outside is so chaotic now that being able to have food is already very good. To fill their stomachs, those disaster victims will really do anything. I heard that rebels from the Red Lotus Sect are also active outside the city and commanding them."

Cheng Feng's heart couldn't help but skip a beat when he heard the clerk's rambling words. Could it be that the Red Lotus Sect rebels are really active outside the city?

It seems that he must be more careful with the machine dog, maybe he can find the rebels' gathering place. Moreover, the bounty offered by the government is not small…

Wait, Cheng Feng, are you crazy? Don't you want to live a stable life anymore! He quickly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and began to carefully select people.

The human market was filled with a "intoxicating" smell. Cheng Feng directly let Eight Hundred choose people based on their bones. Regarding appearance, figure, and bone structure, Eight Hundred could predict the future appearance through the models in the database. This was also the reason why Cheng Feng brought Eight Hundred.

Eight Hundred, of course, had no objections, it faithfully executed the orders issued by Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng's eyes sharply swept across the crowd in front of him, and then he said in a firm tone to Eight Hundred: "Among these people, only choose the five most outstanding ones. Divide them into grades according to their qualifications, without considering age factors."

Then, Cheng Feng turned his head and said to the clerk: "This batch is too mediocre, are there any more outstanding candidates?" He also handed a tael of silver to the clerk.

The clerk tightly grasped the silver in his hand, remained silent, but silently led Cheng Feng to the rearmost side room, and whispered: "Guest, the top-quality goods are hidden in the deepest place, please choose as soon as possible."

Cheng Feng understood in his heart, he understood the rules. Under normal circumstances, good goods would be given priority to those powerful families to choose first, and only after they had finished choosing would it be the turn of ordinary customers.

If they still couldn't be sold, then they could only look for those porters or laborers to sell these women to them as wives at a lower price.

If no one really cared, they would eventually have to sell them to various gangs and become street prostitutes, and from then on, their fate would be uncertain and their life and death would be unpredictable.

Cheng Feng knew that he was currently just an ordinary commoner with a little wealth, and he was not on the list of distinguished guests recognized by the human market. So he wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to broaden his horizons.

After entering the room, he saw a total of eight young women inside, all of whom were virgins. According to the clerk, some of these women were naturally beautiful people who had fled here because their hometowns had suffered disasters; some were maids of officials' daughters; and some were daughters of merchants who had been sold because their families went bankrupt; in addition, there were also local beauties.

Hearing the clerk's introduction, Cheng Feng was really an eye-opener. He was surprised to find that even the close maids of the officials' daughters were being sold here!

Under normal circumstances, the daughters of officials rarely go out, and the maids who are close to them and talk about everything are even closer friends.

According to common sense, these maids would go to the husband's house together as dowry maids after the young lady got married. How could such close sisters be sold off so easily?

This made Cheng Feng feel very confused and surprised. He couldn't figure it out, but it didn't matter.

Pointing to the close maid of the official's daughter, he said: "Tell me about her in detail."

The maid's face was as clean as a lotus emerging from water, and her temperament was elegant, giving people a sense of aloofness. She was wearing a light blue palace dress, her figure was graceful, her face was delicate and beautiful, and her skin was as white as snow, like a fairy descending to earth. Especially her charming figure, which made Cheng Feng's heart flutter.

As a close maid of an official's daughter, she must know something about the officialdom. As long as she hasn't caused any big trouble, Cheng Feng considered her value and planned to take her into his possession.

The clerk naturally understood Cheng Feng's thoughts and quickly said: "This girl is the close maid of the second daughter of the Prefect Cao of the Prefecture. It is said that she accidentally broke a precious gift that the Prefect had given to Prefect Cao, so the Prefect decided to sell her to a brothel. Fortunately, the second daughter tried her best to protect her, so she was bought and brought to Qingxi County, far away from the Prefecture."

The first thought that came to Cheng Feng's mind after hearing this was: "This human market doesn't seem as simple as it looks on the surface!" They were able to take over this person from the second daughter of the Prefect of the Prefecture, and they were able to ensure that she was still a virgin. The connections and relationships behind this are really extraordinary!

Before Cheng Feng could speak, a shout came from behind: "Get out of my way, let me see if there are any good goods here, I'm tired of playing with the women I bought before."
