Chapter 1130

Aike laughed and said, "What, you only have one woman?"

"I…"

That really stumped Zhao Chi.

Aike laughed and said, "Right? One woman or many women, the woman at home or the woman outside, a long-term woman or a temporary woman — what's the difference? Who says once you love one woman, you can't love others?"

Zhao Chi truly couldn't come up with anything to say.

He could only silently nod.

Since he was in this world, he would respect this world's rules.

They queued and waited for over an hour.

The surrounding merchant caravans kept departing, while new ones kept arriving.

Finally it was the Jade Caravan's turn.

"Move forward, move forward — line your caravan up in a single file, only one person can pass through at a time, don't have two people go through together."

The soldiers of Dark Night City directed loudly up ahead.

The Jade Caravan reformed its ranks, turning three files into one, stretching the caravan out greatly.

Tieshan drove the carriage at the very front, swiftly passing through a very ordinary wooden gate.

But the instant he passed through, a flash of green light flickered and vanished.

"Pass, pass, pass!"

The soldiers kept waving them through.

Then came the 25 Vanguard Commander soldiers.

Then it was Zhao Chi and the others' turn.

Aike hopped onto the cargo bed of Zhao Chi's carriage, sat on top of the goods, and said, "You in front, me behind — that works, let's go."

Zhao Chi held his breath and drove forward.

When passing through that wooden gate, green light flared.

Zhao Chi truly felt a sensation of being stared at intently.

It felt very uncomfortable.

Like during an exam, the proctor standing right beside you, watching you answer.

A very annoying feeling.

【Notice: Someone is conducting a special item scan on Taoyuan Village. Do you agree?】

Special items — it had to be those Expansion Stones.

Zhao Chi's Expansion Stones were all at Penglai Village; no matter what they searched Taoyuan Village for, they wouldn't find anything.

He clicked agree.

Quickly, the green light and that sensation vanished.

A message came from the system:

【You have passed the scan. Please leave quickly.】

Zhao Chi let out a breath of relief, quickly drove the carriage to catch up with the group ahead.

After spending quite a bit more time, the entire Jade Caravan had passed through.

Everyone reformed their ranks.

With another thunderous roar from Tieshan, the caravan officially set off.

Once again, a crack appeared between heaven and earth.

The rift opened, revealing that chaotic, dark-colored space within.

They hadn't even entered yet — just looking at it felt oppressive.

The entire group rushed forward and quickly entered the spatial rift.

The enormous rift closed.

The surroundings dimmed.

But in an instant, the light of various spiritual techniques flared up.

Light orbs lit up in the hands of Aike and several other heroes, floating around the caravan and illuminating the nearby area.

The rugged road became smooth and flat.

All people and horses received a large buff.

The soldiers scattered in all directions.

The griffins took to the sky.

The female elf on the griffin's back had a glint in her eyes, calmly staring ahead.

Rumble, rumble.

The entire caravan's speed grew faster and faster.

If nothing unexpected happened on the road, it would take a little over three days to return to Snow Plains City.

The environment here was extremely oppressive.

Everywhere was dim.

Like the depths of the ocean, or the surface of an uninhabited planet.

Everywhere was utterly dead silent.

But the rest of the caravan seemed very relaxed.

They discussed the gains of this trade, calculating how many more gold coins they'd earned.

Aike asked Zhao Chi with a grin, "How much did you make this time? That whole cart of super-improved fire oil — you should be able to earn 20 more gold coins than in Snow Plains City, right?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Pretty much."

Aike said mysteriously, "Actually, I earned 9 gold coins too."

"Huh?"

"Hehe, I bought some props in Snowfield City too. Didn't expect there really was a price difference — sold them off and made 9 gold on the spot. What do you think, haha."

"Impressive."

"Haha, but 5 of those gold coins are already spent. Earning money is easy, spending it is even easier."

"Did you buy supplies?"

"Haha, bought services!"

Must have been spent on women like Meili and Zhenlei.

Zhao Chi sighed, "As long as you think it was worth it, the money wasn't spent for nothing."

Aike laughed, "Of course it was worth it. Each of those Misses was less than 30 silver coins. I'm a goblin — when does any elven Miss normally give me the time of day? But last night, they did more than just look at me. If I hadn't completely run out of steam, I would've blown all 9 gold coins."

"Don't you have Captain Mo's medicine?"

"Sigh, I took it, but only staying here 1 day is really too short. No worries though — back in Snowfield City I can spend it on Lili and Jenny."

"... You can still get out in Snowfield City?"

"Can't, but I can sneak out, haha. You better not snitch on me."

"I won't."

The caravan pressed on.

At this stage, there were still quite a few other merchant caravans around.

Everyone hurried along, deliberately keeping a wide distance from one another to avoid any misunderstandings that might lead to a fight.

As time passed, the others around them grew fewer and fewer.

In the entire dim space, only their own caravan remained.

The world stretched out in bleak vastness.

A sense of loneliness and desolation, as if abandoned by the world itself.

Some lords had already returned to their territories.

Tieshan said to Zhao Chi, "Zhao Chi, if you want to head back, then go back. We don't need you here — staying would just be a waste of time. We'll call you when there's a need."

Aike said, "Go on, go on. Leave the reins to me."

Zhao Chi nodded, "Alright, then I'll trouble Captain Tie, and thanks too, Aike."

Aike waved his hand, "Don't mention it."

Tieshan laughed, "When you go back, put in a few good words for me with Captain Li. Get her to give me a bigger bonus — hahahaha."

Zhao Chi laughed, "Sure, I'll definitely sing Captain Tie's praises."
