Chapter 514: Saleswoman Xia Qing

A mirror?

Broken-Waist Wolf immediately pawed at the side pocket of the protective suit it had just taken off, trying to pull out the small mirror it always carried. This little mirror was Broken-Waist Wolf's current favorite thing.

No, no, no. Not that mirror — an upgraded version of the mirror.

Faster than it, Xia Qing pulled out a full-length mirror, 90 centimeters tall and 40 centimeters wide, from behind the cabinet and asked Broken-Waist Wolf to inspect the goods.

This was something she had spent a fortune on — 30 points, asking Zhong Tao and Zheng Kui to bring it back from the safe zone for her — goods she had specially prepared for Handsome Wolf Bro. To catch Broken-Waist Wolf's attention, Xia Qing had even deliberately chosen one with a pink frame.

Although Third Brother said wolves were colorblind and the world in their eyes was composed of different shades of black, white, and gray, Xia Qing felt that Broken-Waist Wolf could distinguish more colors — it especially liked staring at pink things.

Perhaps the pink it saw was different from what humans saw, but pink must be very special in its eyes.

"Handsome Wolf Bro, look in this one — this one is way clearer than your little mirror."

Broken-Waist Wolf saw itself in the big mirror, and its eyes lit up.

Seeing the trading partner look satisfied, Xia Qing felt this deal was very likely to succeed and started selling hard. "Handsome Wolf Bro's little mirror can be tucked in your pocket and carried around, and this big mirror can be hung in your den. Look, I even put a rope on it for you so you can hang it up."

After hanging the mirror on the wall, Xia Qing continued to spare no effort promoting the benefits of the big mirror. "Handsome Wolf Bro, look — doesn't this make you look even more handsome? Hang a mirror like this in your den, and you'll be the wolf with the best home furnishings and the best taste on all of Blue Star! If the Queen wants to look in a mirror, she'll have to come to your den…"

The Head Wolf turned its rich, arrogant golden eyes for a glance, then turned back to stare at the pheasant in the fireplace.

Broken-Waist Wolf showed its cute little fang tips, looking left and right in front of the mirror. It seemed not quite satisfied with its smile, then struck a very fierce attacking pose, playing with great delight.

That was about enough. Xia Qing took out a Yishi and began negotiating the trade price. "Handsome Wolf Bro, you look so handsome and domineering like this! How about it? This big mirror isn't bad, right? For just one Yishi like this, you can take the mirror back to your den. One Yishi — you can't buy a loss, you can't buy a scam, real value for money!"

Broken-Waist Wolf stared at the mirror for a while longer, then looked thoughtfully at the eager Xia Qing and the pigeon-egg-sized Yishi in her hand.

To Xia Qing's regret, the vanity-loving Broken-Waist Wolf didn't make any move to trade, but ran over to the Head Wolf to show off its new outfit.

Could it be that this big mirror wasn't worth a single Yishi in Broken-Waist Wolf's eyes? Xia Qing began pondering what else at home could serve as a bonus to show off a tasteful lifestyle.

The Head Wolf yawned, stood up, and sniffed noses with Broken-Waist Wolf, then came over to Xia Qing. Broken-Waist Wolf followed too, watching seriously.

Xia Qing put the trade aside and first changed the Head Wolf into its protective suit.

This high-necked, fully enclosing protective suit was a bit more complex than the ones Xia Qing had previously traded to the wolf pack, which only covered the back and belly. She slowed her movements, patiently explaining how to put on the new protective suit, how to work the zipper, and how to fasten the straps at the ankles and from the front legs to the back.

This huge, high-hardness evolved Green Lantern Python was brought over by the wolf pack for Xia Qing to make protective suits out of. Xia Qing charged them a walnut-sized Yishi as processing fee, and besides making protective suits for the six wolves, she also got over a thousand jin of precious high-grade evolved Green Lantern python meat and two leather outfits.

She used one python leather outfit as payment, asking Seeing Xin Yu to blast Xu Pin to death. With the Green Lantern python meat, she traded for many precious supplies and the help of Iron Rooster Yang Jin.

If Yang Jin found out the contents and terms of her trades with the wolf pack, he'd probably immediately strip the title "Iron Rooster" off himself and stick it on her.

The wolf pack was Xia Qing's companions, and even more, trading partners she treasured dearly, so she explained everything very carefully.

After dressing the Head Wolf, Xia Qing asked Broken-Waist Wolf, who was watching seriously nearby, "Broken-Waist, did you understand?"

Broken-Waist Wolf didn't make a sound, looking thoughtful.

Xia Qing called in Broken-Leg Wolf, who was making a ruckus in the yard, had the Head Wolf use its aura to suppress this hyperactive fellow, and demonstrated once more for Broken-Waist Wolf.

"Did you learn it? How about you put the protective suit on Black Wolf?"

Broken-Waist Wolf still didn't move, looking thoughtful.

Apparently it hadn't learned. Xia Qing put the suits on Black Wolf and on the snarling Broken-Leg Sister, then asked again. Broken-Waist Wolf still didn't make a sound, but its expression wasn't as serious as before — it probably understood some of it, but not all.

That was normal. If a brain-evolved wolf could learn to put on such a complex protective suit after watching just a few times, then post-evolution Blue Star would be fucking insane.

After all the wolves had put on their python leather outfits, the Head Wolf, adapting to its new gear, bumped Xia Qing's forehead with its head and walked outside.

Without it needing to call, the other five wolves immediately followed.

The thick-furred wolves wearing the hairless python leather outfits didn't look as handsome as when they wore nothing, but it gave Xia Qing a strong sense of pressure. Because all the vulnerable spots on these wolves were now protected.

Having companions like these is very fortunate; having enemies like these is terrifying.

Broken-Leg Wolf, walking at the very back, noticed Xia Qing hadn't followed and even turned its head to look at her.

Xia Qing somehow connected to Broken-Leg Wolf's brainwave, pointed at the fireplace, and explained, "I have to stay home and roast chicken. You guys go play, but don't make too much noise and alert the nearby humans."

"Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop."

After the wolf pack left, Boss Sheep used its hoof to paw at the door handle, pushed the door open, and walked in. It first rinsed its leather shoes by the door, then scraped them a few times on the somewhat damp hay, held its big head high, and squinted sideways at Xia Qing.

"Boss, you're amazing! Wearing shoes for the first time and already washing them this clean — you're truly worthy of being the smartest evolved sheep on Blue Star, the pride of our territory, the soul of our territory!" Xia Qing immediately delivered praise.

Boss Sheep clip-clopped over to Xia Qing, still holding its head high.

Xia Qing could tell it was in a great mood and asked softly, "Boss, are you this happy because the new clothes have strong defense, or because you have the same outfit as the wolf pack?"

Boss Sheep still held its head high, looking insufferably smug.

"So handsome! Boss, if you go out to fight in this outfit, you could definitely take down a wild boar!" Xia Qing used a damp cloth to wipe the mud and dirty snow off its python leather outfit, then took the outfit off. "Let's store this outfit properly, and take it out to wear when we need it."

The high-hardness evolved python leather outfit had also been soaked in idol-special potion, and reportedly, as long as it's well-maintained, it can last eight years.

Eight years — this plump little lamb in front of her could even turn into a tough, coarse-meated old sheep by then.

Boss Sheep settled comfortably beside Xia Qing, contentedly staring at the fire in the fireplace, squinting as it chewed its cud. Xia Qing also sat on the grass cushion, leaning against Boss Sheep, chatting casually.

"Books say that before evolution, sheep could theoretically live 10-15 years. Meat sheep get slaughtered after about a year, and breeding rams get culled at 7-8 years old because of dental problems."

"Boss, you're the pioneer of evolved sheep history, and with Third Brother as our big-shot ally, it would be inexcusable if you didn't live to 40."

"If your teeth have problems when you're a teenager, I'll have Uncle Huo make you a set of dentures — he'd definitely be able to make them…"

Amid Xia Qing's endless chatter and Boss Sheep's cud-chewing, the sky gradually darkened, and the chicken in the fireplace was almost done roasting. Xia Qing took out her own Green Lantern chicken, scored it a few times, brushed on barbecue seasoning, and put it back in to roast slowly.

When the meat was cooked, the wolf pack returned without Xia Qing needing to call.
