Chapter 755: I Help You Sell

~8 min read 1,428 words

Wu Yue chuckled, this guy's little thoughts are utterly obvious.

"Your Sea Eel Tribe's scouting squad has come waving flags and shouting right up to my face, huh?"

"His teasing words carried a sense of distance that had never appeared before."

"The pale-faced beastman's heart gave a sudden thump."

"He secretly pressed his clan chief uncle into his heart and rubbed it hard several times."

"He hurriedly stepped forward, licking his face: 'This isn't being tied up by my father and clan chief uncle in the tribe, unable to leave.'"

"Just in time, Shaman Yue, you have a big move this time."

"I'm here because I have a good relationship with you and the Snow Moon Tribe."

"That's why I took advantage of this rare opportunity to lead the mission out."

"After speaking, he hehe-laughed and rubbed his nose: 'Just based on our relationship.'"

"He won't go around gathering information."

"Although I'm not a powerful beastman warrior of clan-chief level."

"But I will definitely not do anything that betrays friends."

"His small eyes are absolutely sincere."

"Wu Yue softly hummed: 'You're being sensible; if you really betray us.'"

"I will absolutely not let you step even a single foot out of the Snow Moon Tribe's camp."

"Damn it, I'll break your legs so you work properly for me."

"The pale-faced beastman only felt his long legs suddenly turn chilly."

"Hehe, we've been in contact for so long; when have I ever done something bad to a friend?"

"Especially regarding Shaman Yue's matters; even if my father asks me, I would not casually speak about it."

"After speaking, he slightly embarrassedly scratched his head."

"I may not have many strengths, but toward friends I am absolutely sincere."

"Wuyue:..."

"What a shameless beastman."

"But thinking of his own plan, he turned his head to look at the fawning pale-faced beastman beside him."

"Wu Yue's eyes also took on a smile like an old fox."

"Come on, I'll take you to try some familiar food."

"Everyone came all the way to the council tent."

"Grand Shaman Mu Yun and all the beastman warriors went out on business."

"At this moment, the council tent, aside from the beastman warriors guarding around it."

"Inside was empty of any beast."

"As he entered the tent, Wu Yue turned his head and ordered the tribesman guarding the door: 'Go find the Snow Moon Tribe's beastman warriors and prepare some corn cakes and food.'"

"The beastman bowed in assent, turned and hurried away."

"Other beastman warriors naturally took over his position."

"The pale-faced beastman was strolling around the council tent with a face full of envy."

"His big hands practically wanted to touch every spot in the tent."

"Even the trash cans beside each wooden table were not let off."

"\"Shaman Yue, this tent is simply too luxurious. \""

"\"I've never seen such a good-looking and spacious tent. \""

"\"Goodness, the tent his father once prided himself on, compared to this one, is practically just a hut for a kid. \""

"Wu Yue gave a light laugh, but did not continue the topic about the tent: 'Please sit down first; the food will be brought up shortly.'"

"The pale-faced beastman and the tribesmen behind him reluctantly sat down behind the wooden table."

"He reached out again, gently caressing the unfamiliar object before him."

"The Snow Moon Tribe not only has miraculous and powerful magical talismans."

"It also has many mysterious, never-before-seen miraculous items."

"\"How do you Sea Eel Tribe exchange your salt for goods with which tribes? \""

"Wu Yue suddenly spoke."

"The pale-faced beastman blinked slightly, then said: 'Most of the salt we gather up is exchanged for the land beastfolk around Bai Sha Yan Hai.'"

"Also, stronger distant tribes each year send many beastman warriors over to exchange for a lot of salt to take back."

"He said, raising his chin proudly: 'The salt produced by our Sea Tribe.'"

"It is far better than the grayish-black salt with lots of impurities that the land beastfolk eat."

"So our salt is taken back by these powerful tribes."

"It can be exchanged for many, many goods and food."

"Wu Yue's eyes held a faint smile: 'Just how much salt does the Sea Eel Tribe exchange out each year?'"

"Upon hearing this, the pale-faced beastman's beastly face stiffened, and he somewhat embarrassedly dug at his ears."

"\"Among the tribes that come to exchange salt. \""

"\"It's mainly the nearby land tribes that exchange more. \""

"\"The remaining tribes that come from farther away land exchange not much. \""

"\"The number of beastfolk they send over for exchange is limited. \""

"\"So the animal hides carrying the food they bring over are not many either. \""

Thinking back to when I lived in the Polar Forest, I recall how difficult and arduous it was for our tribe members to go out and trade for salt.

Terms: Polar Forest (place). Also maybe 'tribe members' is generic, not a specific name. 'salt' is a common object.

Wu Yue nods: 'In the tribe I used to belong to, coming here each year to trade for salt is always a difficult and dangerous task.'

Terms: Wu Yue (character). 'tribe' is generic.

Every year, many beastman warriors die on the way to trade for salt.

Terms: Beastman Warrior (role/title).

The pale-faced Beastfolk nodded: "We also know that every time the land Beastfolk come over to exchange salt, they return all bruised."

But that's unavoidable, after all, sometimes we go to the land Beastfolk tribe to exchange pelts.

Sometimes tribespeople die on the way to the exchange.

Wu Yue let out a deep sigh: "It's true; just thinking about the tribespeople who died exchanging salt and pelts makes my heart ache."

She lifted her head to look at the pale-faced Beastfolk: "We've known each other since the time of Lin He Ling Di."

I and the people of the Xue Yue tribe have always regarded you as a very good friend.

We have a plan we want to carry out.

If it succeeds, the sea Beastfolk warriors won't need to risk going to the land tribes.

Then we can obtain many, many pelts.

If you want to participate, I can help persuade the great shaman and the other Beastfolk warriors.

To let you join in.

But only you, not the Sea Eel tribe.

Seeing her solemn expression and then hearing what she said.

The pale-faced Beastfolk, after a moment of stunned silence, was utterly shocked.

It felt as if countless prey were falling from the sky, all landing on him.

"You don't need me to send Beastfolk warriors?"

Wu Yue nodded: "No."

The pale-faced Beastfolk felt dazed, as if it weren't real.

"Then... what should I do?"

It can't be that they'd just give it to him for free, right?

As if understanding the meaning in his gaze, Wu Yue rudely rolled her eyes.

What a beautiful thought.

"We plan to load all the salt onto the big ship you've seen before."

Then, following the Lin He River, we'll go to each land tribe to trade.

That way, they won't have to risk coming to Bai Sha Yan Hai to exchange salt.

If you want to participate, you need to prepare your own trade goods.

They must be able to be stored for a long time.

We'll help you exchange for the goods you want.

You need to give us some labor fees, as well as fees for using and maintaining the big ship.

Roughly one-tenth of the goods you exchange each time.

That is, divide those goods into ten equal parts, and give us one part.

The pale-faced Beastfolk swallowed: "Is... is that all?"

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow at his words: "Hmm, that's all."

I thought this guy would haggle over terms, but I didn't expect him to react like this.

But she didn't know that the pale Beastfolk at this moment only felt his head growing more dizzy.

The salt produced by the slaves on his own territory is already piled up like a small hill.

But the number of Beastfolk who come each year to trade is just that many.

It can't be used up, it simply can't be used up.

Even if he wanted to go exchange for pelts, the various dangers make it impossible to achieve.

Now the shaman Yue actually tells him that only a very small price is needed.

Then he can exchange those salt hills that make him worry about losing his hair for the pelts and other precious goods he needs.

He feels he could even wake up laughing in his sleep.
