Chapter 957: The Mage Heroine (4)

Zhuang Ya had only just arrived not long ago.

But Gu Qing already had a rough idea of her personality.

She did speak a little oddly, but one could tell she was probably a decent person at heart.

Her worry was something Gu Qing could understand.

Gu Qing said gently, "It's fine, everyone has their little temper, but up till now, everyone has been getting along happily. And with the effects of the Carefree Spring, everyone will be cheerful, and even if there are disagreements, any knots in the heart can be untied quickly. You don't need to worry about these things."

Zhuang Ya said emotionally, "That's wonderful, really, our place here is truly wonderful."

One could tell she meant it from the heart.

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Gu Qing, then I'll leave Zhuang Ya to you. I'm going outside to look around, need to purchase some things. Do you want to buy anything?"

Gu Qing looked toward Zhuang Ya.

Zhuang Ya shook her head: "No need, I don't want anything."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Don't you like stockings? My lord is making another batch recently. Whatever color or style you like, you can say it all. My lord making them is just a casual matter."

Zhao Chi said, "Not just stockings, high heels and shirts, and pajamas too—I can make other styles. You can think it over first, and just tell me after I get back."

Zhuang Ya nodded: "Got it, little Zhao Chi, I'll thank you in advance."

Zhao Chi smiled: "You're welcome, then I'll leave the territory to you. See you in a bit."

He gave Zhuang Ya a smile, then gave Gu Qing a nod.

Gu Qing also gave him a nod.

Zhao Chi clicked teleport and vanished.

He had already arranged it with Zhao Cang beforehand, so he teleported straight to Zhao Cang's territory.

It was still a mess here.

All kinds of raw materials piled up like mountains, stacked directly outside.

All kinds of large warehouses lined up in rows upon rows.

Workers pushed carts and carried loads on their shoulders, transporting things nonstop.

Zhao Cang was holding a bowl, in the middle of cursing someone out.

The rice in his mouth sprayed out as he cursed.

The subordinate in front kept his head lowered, silently enduring the dual torment of mind and body.

"... This is already the fourth time I've said it. I can accept you being a bit slow, but I cannot accept this kind of mistake! Fix it immediately, you hear me?"

The subordinate nodded repeatedly: "Understood, my lord, I'll fix it immediately."

"Go quickly!"

The subordinate let out a breath of relief and immediately ran off.

Zhao Cang sighed and took another bite of rice.

Zhao Chi stood a bit farther away.

"Zhao Chi, why are you standing so far from me? I'm not going to scold you. The racial improvement book is already prepared—I can only give you 3 copies."

Zhao Chi smiled: "Thanks, Third Brother. Why does it feel like it's always this busy on your end? Was it like this before too?"

Zhao Cang sighed: "How could it have been like this before? When did we ever have this much strength? Although we've had a rough stretch recently, our clan is still always progressing. Before, we didn't even have half of these supplies."

"Where is Fourth Uncle going to trade this time? White Grass City or Tianfeng City?"

"Not decided yet—didn't we just finish the meeting? Zhao Jing's side hasn't started making the high-toughness gauntlets yet. It'll probably take a few days before we can decide."

"Which city is better?"

"What, you want to go?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "Yeah, I want to go out and have a look around. I've never even left our Snow Plain City, and it's so chaotic here—might as well visit some other cities."

Zhao Cang snorted: "That's because you're young. Our Snow Plain City is chaotic—do you think other cities aren't? They're all the same."

Zhao Chi asked: "I don't really know much about it. Could you tell me more? Those two cities also have rebel armies and foreign races fighting, right?"

"Right, and not just them—even further places like Withered Leaf City, Ambition City, and so on are all the same. They're all fighting now."

"Then isn't it very dangerous for Fourth Uncle to go to other cities?"

"Of course it's dangerous! But he's not going alone. The Xiao family, Qi family, and Liu family are all going. And people from other villages too—South Forest Village, for instance, has also decided to go. We're forming a trade caravan, with each family putting out a few powerful lords. That way, even if we run into bandits, we won't be afraid."

"So that's how it is..."

"What else? Going alone wouldn't be seeking death?"

Zhao Chi was a little disappointed.

He had originally thought he could go to other cities to sell fashion items—that way he'd basically be a traveling merchant, buying and leaving, making it harder for others to track him, and he'd be freer.

But for now, it wasn't possible.

Then he'd just have to think of another way.

Maybe keep selling fire oil?

Supply fire oil to the clan, and then when selling the high-toughness leather gauntlets, also sell Gao Liang fire oil?

This way, it could let the clan earn a bit more money.

That could work too.

"What are you spacing out for? Buy it quickly and get going—don't linger around here."

"Oh, Third Brother, send me a list. I want to buy some spiritual technique skill books. Do you have any now?"

"I do, but not many. Take a look yourself, and come find me once you've decided."

Zhao Cang immediately stuffed a few more bites of rice and walked off to patrol nearby.

Zhao Chi currently had 1,659 gold coins.

It was already enough to buy the racial bloodline.

The basic five great race bloodlines only cost around 400 gold coins, but taxes are high right now, so 500 gold coins could still get one.

For slightly better race bloodlines, there are two within 1500 gold coins.

Zhao Chi hesitated for a moment, then gave up anyway.
