Loki thought that he had misheard and expressed his disbelief by saying, "I'm sorry. Did you just say we pay rent? For what?"
To which Hammock said, "We pay rent for the privilege of being able to raise our cultivation rank while others can't."
Loki still didn't believe what he heard. He found it all incredulous from the beginning to the end.
He couldn't help but raise his voice and say, "So you're telling me that not only do we have to work for the sect like slaves, but we also have to pay for the privilege of being slaves, and to top things off, what we work for is not our permanent property as it can still be taken from us. Is that everything you're saying?"
Hammock replied, saying, "Yes, that's all.
Then the ant queen went silent, waiting for Loki to say something.
