Chapter 1081

Looking at it this way, it seems that little shop on Rich Aroma Food Street was just her lowest-ranking position?

Not necessarily.

Perhaps that shop on Rich Aroma Food Street was one she opened herself.

As a result, all that effort was for nothing now.

If we look into it carefully, Rich Aroma Food Street was something the Zhao family set up to protect the clan…

That counts as having dragged her down too.

Zhao Chi nodded: "Alright, we'll contact you when we sell fashion in the future, but it's not easy for us to come here, and the times we come aren't fixed either."

Shopkeeper Wanyan sighed: "Yes, you're still in Snowfield City, aren't you?"

This piece of information… can be told.

Zhao Chi nodded: "Right, Snowfield City doesn't have a Ruby Exchange, does it?"

Shopkeeper Wanyan said regretfully: "Snowfield City can't be reached right now, those werewolves' sense of smell is too sharp. It's fine—wait until you come again next time, you must come find us again."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Alright then, until we meet again."

Shopkeeper Wanyan smiled: "Give my regards to Sister Yu, and say hello to Young Lady Zhao Si for me."

Zhao Chi nodded and left.

Shopkeeper Wanyan also left swiftly.

Zhao Chi quickly ran through several streets.

Gu Qing and the others had been following from a distance the whole time, and only after confirming there was no problem did they gather in the northern part of Black Crystal Town.

"No problem, no one is following." Gu Qing scanned the surroundings.

Qi Yue said softly: "my lord, no problems on my side either."

Zhuang Ya also said: "Safe, no one can escape my eyes."

Zhao Chi nodded.

But he noticed that Zhuang Ya's cloth-covered robe had a dark water stain seeping through the gap in her leg armor.

And the water stain was mixed with a few faint threads of blood.

"Zhuang Ya, are you injured?"

Zhao Chi was very surprised.

When Gu Qing and the others heard, they all looked over too.

Zhuang Ya's face flushed red, and she glared at Zhao Chi: "Hmph!"

Hmph?

What is she hmph-ing about?

Zhao Chi had originally been very tense, afraid something had happened to her, but after being glared at like that, he knew there was no danger and relaxed.

But then what was it about?

Zhao Chi was completely baffled.

Looking at her expression, though, she seemed slightly disdainful.

This woman—just now she was yelling and begging for mercy in the room, and now she's acting proud again.

Gu Qing was also full of questions at this moment.

She was such a clever woman, yet this time she couldn't figure out what was going on either.

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue were even more clueless about what had happened.

Zhao Chi said: "What's wrong, Zhuang Ya? This isn't our territory, if something happens you have to speak up."

Zhuang Ya glared at Zhao Chi again.

Then she said reproachfully: "Hmph! It's all because of you!"

"Because of me?"

Zhao Chi was even more surprised.

Since leaving the territory, he hadn't even run into Zhuang Ya.

Zhuang Ya said softly with a red face: "Who told you to just now… the moment I stepped out I put on my full set of armor, I didn't even have time to go to the Carefree Spring. Then I had to run around so much, of course it all came out… hmph!"

Zhao Chi had nothing to say.

That hmph—her hmph-ing at him wasn't actually wrong…

Zhao Chi accepted it.

Gu Qing let out a soft laugh.

She knew exactly how it felt.

Ever since gaining that new gene's ultra-high drainage capacity, every time she walked out from Zhao Chi's place, it was always like this.

So every time she would go straight to the Carefree Spring and clean herself up.

Hearing Zhuang Ya say the same thing now, she actually felt a sense of kinship.

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue still said nothing.

Zhao Chi said: "Then… what do we do? Should we head back first…"

"I'm not going back yet, I haven't finished shopping." Zhuang Ya shook her head: "Is the mission considered complete?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "Zaidengyi Society—you all go look around the shops on the side first, I'll register now."

There were many old, worn little shops nearby.

They sold all sorts of things.

There were also various service-type shops.

Perhaps because they were cheap, quite a few people were browsing.

"Is it safe now?" Gu Qing scanned the surroundings once more.

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "It's fine, you can relax here. Go ahead and look around."

Gu Qing said, "Why don't you come with us, my lord? That way we won't get separated so easily, and Tang Ruan wants to have a look too."

"I'll do as my lord says." Tang Ruan said softly.

Almost forgot — it's inside Tang Ruan's body.

Zhao Chi agreed, "Alright. Tang Ruan, you take control of the body and movement now; the left eye and left hand are mine to control."

Tang Ruan was delighted: "Okay, no problem!"

Tang Ruan took over control.

Zhao Chi stopped paying attention.

Relaxing comfortably inside Tang Ruan's body.

At the same time, he took all the registered stockings off the shelves, then registered the remaining 3,087 pairs of stockings as a single order.

Unit price set at 4 gold coins, totaling 12,348 gold coins.

And ticked the barter option.

Then put them on the shelf!

Instantly, the system prompted:

【Your anonymously consigned 3,087 pairs of "Special-Type Ultra-Modified Stockings" have been locked by the Ruby Exchange. If you have any questions, please consult the Ruby Exchange staff. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.】

Shopkeeper Wanyan really moves fast.

She said she wasn't afraid of someone else buying them, but it seems she's quite attentive after all.

Then let's wait for her a moment.

Coming back to his senses, he already saw several women in the women's clothing shop touching and looking at things.

They were excitedly discussing the styles and the fabric materials.

Zhao Chi had zero interest.

But he couldn't just let them only feast their eyes — if they wanted to buy something, they could buy it.

He used Tang Ruan's hand to pull out 40 gold coins from the system space.

Then notified Tang Ruan.

Zhao Chi 【Tang Ruan, there are four of you, 10 gold coins each. Buy whatever you want. If it's not enough, tell me and I'll give you more.】

Tang Ruan 【Huh? 10 gold coins? No need, we won't use that much. A few of us only need 1 gold coin.】

Tang Ruan knew the value of gold coins.

She also only knew that 1 gold coin could buy dozens of outfits in this shop.

Zhao Chi 【It's fine, distribute it among everyone.】
