Chapter 385: Volume 1, Chapter 385 – Evil Dragon x Slave x Witch (5)

Jiang Zhi glanced at the half-beast Xiaohei beside her and handed him a knife: "You can kill him."

After waiting a few minutes, seeing the half-beast unmoved, she sighed, preparing to personally finish off the baron when a cold, scaly hand reached out.

The half-beast, who had remained in a corpse-like state, seemed to show a flicker of reaction; its hollow, deep pupils reflected the sharp dagger.

Jiang Zhi froze for a moment, then came to her senses; the half-beast beside her had already lunged onto the person in the carriage.

He raised the dagger and stabbed it into the baron's body, thrust after thrust.

Blood spurted out, splashing onto the luxurious carriage, staining the young man's narrow eye corners, revealing a hint of cruelty.

Jiang Zhi waited nearby for a while; seeing the carriage drenched in blood, she couldn't help but pinch her nose and say: "Enough, he's dead."

At the moment she spoke, the half-beast stopped, then stepped out of the carriage; its snow-white uniform was stained with blood into several beautiful plum-blossom-like patterns.

Jiang Zhi lifted a finger, casting a spell to erase the blood from his body, making him clean and tidy again.

She did not know the half-beast's background; rescued from an underground cage, he was the opposite of other half-beasts, showing no joy or excitement, yet when he killed the noble baron, he exhibited a slight tremor.

But that tremor was only killing intent and hatred, clearly directed at the nobility.

Jiang Zhi was somewhat curious.

What exactly had this half-beast endured before to become what he is now?

"Xiaohei, can you tell me about your past?"

……

"Xiaohei?"

Jiang Zhi got no response, but she wasn't disappointed.

Today she had already reaped a lot.

She pointed her finger at the carriage, and a magic bag floated out.

Jiang Zhi cleaned the bloodstains off the magic bag, then undid the cord and reached inside to feel around.

Her eyes lit up.

"This guy actually has this much money—I'm going to get rich!"

Earlier, buying those dozen or so half-beasts in the slums had exhausted the inheritance left by the original owner's parents; she had little money left, originally planning to draw a few talismans to sell in the city for profit, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Drawing talismans to make money was nowhere near as lucrative as robbing nobles.

The magic bag contained not only money but also some valuable items; besides that, there were some adult toys.

"Really perverted."

She took only the money and valuables, tossing the rest back into the carriage.

She reached out and took Xiaohei's hand, saying: "Come on, let's go shopping in the city, sis~"

She was thinking of planning a plot of land in Chendi to provide living space for the slaves.

Chendi's area is larger than Zhucheng's, occupying 70% of the world, while Zhucheng takes up 18%, and the remaining 12% is taken by the slums.

Chendi's land cannot be farmed and is unsuitable for habitation, so the nobles of Zhucheng have completely abandoned it.

However, Chendi's soil can be altered with magic, but the spell is complex and extremely draining; for tens of thousands of years, no envoy has managed to do it.

Jiang Zhi can do it only because she has experienced several famine worlds before, giving her much knowledge of such soil-improving magic.

Lost in thought, she didn't notice the half-beast behind her glance at their intertwined hands, lift his eyelids, and reveal a hint of bewilderment in his deep, abyssal pupils.

…

Zhucheng is divided into five districts.

District one is the palace, district two the noble residential area, district three the shopping street, district four the guilds and residences of all envoys, and district five the prosperous, decadent entertainment paradise.

The place Jiang Zhi wants to go is in district three, the shopping street.

To purchase some necessities.

Those slaves are settled within a barrier encircling Chendi; they need to live and require many things.

Pots, pans, bowls, clothes, etc.

It happens that the money found in the baron's magic bag can be used to buy these.

After strolling around, she had spent nearly half of her money.

Drawn by a creamy aroma, she walked into a pastry shop and took a deep breath.

"So fragrant!"

She turned to ask Xiaohei: "Do you like bread?"

Xiaohei: "……"

Jiang Zhi giggled, saying: "I love bread so much, especially cream bread~"

She strode into the shop in two quick steps, declaring grandly: "I'll take it all~"

The extra will be given to those half-beasts to eat.

The shop owner came out delighted, asking: "Are you sure you want all of them?"

Jiang Zhi nodded.

She took out a sack of money; the gold coins glittered brilliantly under the light.

The shop owner immediately instructed the staff to wrap up all the bread.

Jiang Zhi put the purchased bread into her magic bag, leaving only two cream buns wrapped in oil paper.

She tore off a piece and held it before the half-beast's eyes.

"Try it~"

Without waiting for him to open his mouth, she pressed the bread to the corner of his lips.

The cream stained his dark, thin lips a milky white.

Half-beast's thin lips slightly opened, the bread chunk slipped into his mouth.

Jiang Zhi smiled and asked, "Is it tasty?"

Half-beast chewed a little, his throat quickly swallowed.

He showed no reaction.

Jiang Zhi tiptoed, leaned close to his lips, whispered, "There's still cream on your mouth; let me lick it off for you~"

After saying that, she stretched out her pinkish tongue tip, about to touch his lips.

Half-beast suddenly stepped back two steps, raised his hand to wipe the cream from the corner of his mouth, giving her no chance.

"Do you dislike me that much?" Jiang Zhi puffed her cheeks in anger, a faint blush rose on her lovely cheeks.

Half-beast had no reaction, standing in place staring at the floor.

Jiang Zhi let out a sigh, picked up the bread, ate it bite by bite.

"Boss, why is there no bread left?"

A female student walked in, frowning as she asked.

The shop manager saw her clothing was noble, broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, hurriedly said, "Milady, the bread just sold out."

The blonde female student, hearing that, followed his gaze to the two people about to walk out of the shop.

"Wait a moment!"

Jiang Zhi kept walking without stopping; not long after, a blonde-haired female student jogged to block her path.

"Did you buy all the bread?" the female student asked, her expression cold and arrogant, chin lifted.

Jiang Zhi swallowed the sweet, soft bread in her mouth, saw the female student before her, slightly pursed her lips.

If she had known she'd buy it all and run, she still wouldn't really want to provoke nobles in Zhucheng.

Unlike in Chendi, where she could kill nobles unseen and unheard, in Zhucheng guard envoys are everywhere.

"Right, if you want it, I'll give it all to you."

She felt a bit heartbroken; so much bread, she couldn't bring it for the half-beasts to eat.

The blonde female student snorted coldly, "I don't need that much; I just want one. How much? I'll pay double."

Jiang Zhi has never seen a noble as friendly as her, even though her attitude wasn't great.

"Alright, what flavor do you want?"

Blonde female student: "Strawberry."

Jiang Zhi took a strawberry-flavored bread from her Magic Bag, handed it to her, saying, "You don't need to pay me; just consider it my treat."

The blonde female student tossed ten gold coins into her lap, snatched the bread, saying coldly, "I don't need your charity; I have my own money."
