Protect Our Chief
Chapter 917 - 36: Miss Lici "Sweeps Through" the Immortal Dynasty
Two whole hours passed before the two women finally ate their fill.
"Finally, I’m feeling a bit stuffed~~ Let’s go to [Yao Air Transport] together later. I want to commission [Yao Air Transport] to send these wolf cubs back to Daqian." Wang Lici patted her belly, happily taking a deep breath, "These wolf cubs are getting big, they must be sent back to the family quickly, otherwise they won’t be adaptable once they grow up."
Lan Wan’er, who also had no life goals, naturally had no objections.
After eating for a while longer, the two finished all the meat on the plates, patted their half-full bellies, and left the barbecue shop contentedly with five half-grown wolf cubs.
"They left?"
Watching the two leave, the despondent shop owner let out a sigh of relief and walked out from the back room.
Finally, sent these two little misses away~ If they kept eating, he was starting to wonder if they would eat him straight into bankruptcy.
"By the way, how many plates of Tier Five Spirit Rhinoceros White Beef do we have left?" he casually asked the attendant next to him.
The attendant opened the icebox and suddenly froze, unable to speak for a long time.
The shopkeeper, puzzled, peeked in, and his expression instantly froze too: "Nothing, none left? All gone?"
His eyes rolled back, nearly losing his breath, almost fainting.
...
[Yao Air Transport] Branch in Nanshan County, Helan State.
This is a business run by the renowned First-Grade Noble Family Yao, of the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty. Relying on the Yao family’s unique Cloud Ray Flying Ships, they transport valuable goods in bulk in various states and counties. Though the fees are expensive, the service is reliable.
Moreover, at intervals, specialized Cloud Ray Flying Ships venture overseas, heading to some distant and remote empire capitals for overseas trade, bringing back local specialties.
"Little girl, a spirit beast is a live creature, during transportation it needs professional cultivators for feeding and care, the transport costs are ten times higher than ordinary live creatures."
Inside the business premises, a chubby Celestial Human Realm shopkeeper was calculating accounts quickly while grumbling, "These few Silver Moon Grey Wolf cubs have decent bloodline talent, so their meals and drinks along the way shouldn’t be scrimped."
"Considering the considerable distance to East Qian Kingdom, our Cloud Ray Flying Ship takes half a year one way, there’s also customs fees when entering East Qian Kingdom. After precise calculation by our firm, sending these five wolf cubs to Gui Long City in East Qian Kingdom will cost a total of fifty thousand immortal crystals."
Fifty thousand immortal crystals?
Wang Lici and Lan Wan’er, part of the foodie group, exchanged glances — is this a joke?
Fifty thousand immortal crystals can be exchanged for so much spiritual flesh. Even Master going on a risky venture could only earn that amount and it’s even called "generous reward" and "rare opportunity".
Moreover, with their appetites, when can they even store some immortal crystals?
"I... I don’t have that much money." Wang Lici flashed her big eyes, showing disappointment.
These five Silver Moon Grey Wolf cubs have been with her for quite a while and were gradually nearing the age for domestication. Without sending them back home, the children of the family wouldn’t be able to tame them.
"Then, little girl, how much do you have?" The chubby shopkeeper said kindly, "Our Yao family likes to befriend others, you seem to have decent talent and potential, we’ll give you a discount. After all, our Cloud Ray Flying Ship heads to East Qian Kingdom only once every ten years."
Then, Wang Lici pulled out her deflated money pouch, opened it and inside was a pile of jingling copper coins and coins, then she looked pleadingly at the chubby shopkeeper: "Uncle, can we have some credit first? I’ll pay when my master returns from work."
"Yes, yes, Uncle Fat Shopkeeper, put it on credit first." Lan Wan’er also looked pitifully at the chubby shopkeeper, helping her out with the plea.
The chubby shopkeeper’s face immediately stiffened.
These two seemingly talented and powerful little girls, who were not even a hundred years old, supposedly being pampered by their families, how could they be so poor?
Also, could the word "shopkeeper" not be preceded by adjectives?
Moments later, Uncle Fat Shopkeeper very "politely" asked them to leave.
"Uncle Fat Shopkeeper, please help, if not sent now, the wolves will grow up."
"Oily White Fat Shopkeeper, I’ll sing you a song, just help Sister Lici, will you?"
The two girls urged with their two pairs of watery big eyes, constantly pleading.
However, the chubby shopkeeper’s resolve was firm, his attitude ever more polite: "Credit is impossible, it’s too far to East Qian Kingdom, you two are too poor..."
In the midst of the entanglement.
A woman wearing a white immortal robe and a veil walked into the shop.
She stood tall, exuding an icy aura, especially her eyes, deep like ice, faintly shimmering with blue glow, extremely unique.
She seemed to carry an invisible threat, from entering the door, just in these few steps, an intangible aura enveloped the entire room, making hearts unconsciously sink and feel awe.
This was her not intentionally releasing pressure, if she did, her aura would be even more terrifying.
Clearly, she must be a powerful figure accustomed to being in authority, even if not Divine Power Realm, she would at least be a Purple Mansion Realm peak like Master Yunyang, or else she wouldn’t have such a presence.
Her eyes swept over Wang Lici and others, her deep eyes flashed a hint of strange glow: "Little girl, are you people from East Qian Kingdom?"
"Sister Fairy, I’m Wang Lici, a person from Longzuo County in Daqian Kingdom. This is Lan Wan’er, she’s from the Suiyun Lan Family. Sister Fairy, you’re so beautiful and powerful, do you know people in Daqian Kingdom?" Wang Lici didn’t hesitate at all, immediately sweetly called her sister, skillfully hugging the leg, almost heartfeltly pitiful.
The shopkeeper, upon seeing that woman, especially noting the unique Cold Moon Immortal Court emblem on her fluttering immortal robe, his face instantly changed.
He promptly approached, eagerly explaining: "This Immortal Envoy, these two little girls want to send something back to East Qian, yet can’t afford it, it’s not our business making things difficult for them."
"Daqian Longzuo?" The deep-eyed Immortal Court lady seemed to flash a touch of wistfulness, "Although I’m not from Gui Long, I guess we are fellow townsfolk. Forget it, in the name of compatriots, put the bill on me."
"Really? I’m very sorry about that." Wang Lici brightened, then realized her gesture, reluctantly declined, "Better not, the delivery fee is too high to inconvenience you."
"No worries, I can afford it." The Immortal Court lady saw Lici’s adorable looks and kind heart, couldn’t help but feel some fondness, "It’s rare to meet a compatriot, I invite you for a meal later, and chat about Daqian’s current situation. I haven’t been back for years."
"Invite us to a meal?"
The foodie group sisters Wang Lici and Lan Wan’er were full of joy, drooling eagerly.
Going out to send a package, yet encountering such a heaven-sent opportunity?
