Chapter 894: It’s Time to Pay Tribute to the Local Tyrant

Su Nuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Xuehua stared at Su Nuan, the look of embarrassment on her face becoming more and more intense.

Su Nuan's curiosity was aroused. "Tell me, how can I know what you are thinking if you don't tell me?"

Bai Xuehua bit her lip, as if she was struggling internally. After a long while, she finally uttered a question.

"Are you really going to marry Lingyun and become the queen?"

Su Nuan nodded, "What's the problem with that? If the problem is serious, then it's okay not to marry."

Bai Xuehua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Nuan did not show that kind of obsessive attitude towards men.

"I think it's rare for twins in the royal family to grow up together. If both were boys, one would probably be killed."

"After all, the twins look very similar, and we're afraid they'll be confused and disrupt the imperial power."

Su Nuan glanced at Bai Xuehua. She felt that this kind of thing would not happen.

Seeing that Su Nuan didn't take it seriously, Bai Xuehua said anxiously, "Don't disbelieve me. Isn't the heir to the throne always the eldest son? If both of your children are boys..."

"It's possible that the weaker one will be killed at birth."

"It would be fine if it were two girls, or one boy and one girl."

Su Nuan smiled and said, "It's okay. Others may fight for the throne, but I believe in the throne of the Sifang Kingdom..."

Bai Xuehua immediately asked: "What will happen?"

Su Nuan replied helplessly: "They will blame each other."

Bai Xuehua didn't believe it and shook her head repeatedly.

Su Nuan knew that she didn't believe it. Some things were already deeply rooted in their hearts, and they would not believe it no matter what she said.

In this situation, Su Nuan was too lazy to make any excuses and just took it one step at a time.

She continued to eat, always feeling that her stomach was like a bottomless pit, and sometimes she still felt hungry even after she was full.

Su Nuan sighed and took some digestive pills.

"I've been feeling hungry lately, even though I'm full."

Bai Xuehua smiled and said, "That's because the children wanted to eat something, but you didn't eat it, so they are always greedy.

Su Nuan understood, "I see. Then what do they want to eat?"

Bai Xuehua asked: "Is there anything you particularly want to eat?"

Su Nuan was silent. She had always been content with just eating her fill and had no particular craving for anything.

However, when she calmed down, she realized that she really wanted to eat watermelon at this moment. As soon as this thought came to her mind, she became irritated.

She picked a watermelon directly from the space, cut it in half with a knife, held one half and ate it with a spoon.

Bai Xuehua looked at the watermelon in surprise and asked, "Why are there no seeds?"

Su Nuan didn't hide it and said, "I met a woman who claimed to have a system before. After I killed her, seeds fell all over the ground. These watermelon seeds were obtained at that time."

"But this watermelon can only be grown once, and once it's eaten, there's nothing left to eat."

Bai Xuehua dragged the other half over and cut it into slices with a watermelon dagger to eat.

"What a shame. Do you know what watermelons look like out there?"

"For a watermelon this size, only the red flesh is the size of a fist, and the rest is white with a thick skin."

"If you could always have this watermelon, the national treasury would be filled with watermelons alone."

Su Nuan also knew this, but there were not many of these watermelons, not enough for her to eat.

After eating the watermelon, Su Nuan felt very comfortable, and the feeling of hunger disappeared.

Bai Xuehua took out a bunch of small bags and said, "Here, these are the seeds I collected. I don't know how to plant them, so I wasted a lot of them."

"I'll give them all to you now. I think if you can grow seedless watermelons, you can definitely grow these."

Su Nuan suspiciously opened a small bag and asked, "What kind of seeds are these?"

Bai Xuehua replied: "These are various melons such as cantaloupes, crisp melons, and wax gourds."

"The big bags contain various beans. By the way, do you have an oil press here?"

Su Nuan shook her head. "There are no large-scale oil presses, but there are a few small ones."

Bai Xuehua chuckled, "Okay, I'll be a big oil producer in Sifang Country from now on. Peanut oil, sesame oil, soybean oil..."

Su Nuan licked her lips and asked, "What percentage will you give me?"

Bai Xuehua was stunned for a moment, "You want to pluck the hair?"

Su Nuan looked at her with disdain, "What do you mean by plucking hair? Are you considered my family? Can't you give me a share of the profits from my family's business? I can protect you and make sure no one dares to cause trouble."

"Also, if you need anything, just tell me and I can help you!"

Bai Xuehua thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, it's time to pay tribute to the local tyrant. I'll give you 20%, no more."

Su Nuan chuckled, "Okay."

Oil is a good thing. No wonder Bai Xuehua became the richest person. She made a fortune by relying on her oil pressing skills.

Su Nuan asked again: "Then is there any other business you want to do? Let's talk about it together."

Bai Xuehua shook her head. "I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I think of it."

"Come on, I can give you peace of mind. I'll give you 20% of my business in the future."

Su Nuan chuckled, "Not bad, not bad. I have a feeling that my private treasury will be richer than the national treasury."

Speaking of the national treasury, Bai Xuehua asked, "It seems like you've been paying people with grain. Where do you get so much grain?"

Su Nuan threw the pot away. "Didn't they conquer some of the Luosha Kingdom's tribes? They planted crops near the volcano over there and harvested them every three to six months."

Bai Xuehua praised, "Not bad, not bad."

The two were chatting when suddenly the ground shook.

Bai Xuehua quickly hugged Su Nuan to steady her body.

Su Nuan didn't know what was going on and looked outside blankly.

Fortunately, the buildings in Sifang City are very strong and no collapse occurred after the shaking.

When the ground stabilized, Bai Xuehua frowned and said, "It seems like an earthquake."

Su Nuan and Bai Xuehua were eating at the stone table outside the kitchen, and they could see the sky by looking up.

Dark clouds are slowly spreading across the sky.

Su Nuan called Feixue over, jumped onto her back and said, "I'll go up and take a look at the situation."

When she came to the sky, Lingyun and other people with flying cavalry were looking in the direction of Rakshasa Kingdom.

Su Nuan said puzzledly: "I've seen the volcano over there. It won't erupt within a hundred years. Why is there a sign of eruption now?"

Thick smoke was rising into the sky from the crater.

Ling Yun frowned and said, "I'll go take a look. Be careful."

Su Nuan didn't go there because the volcanic eruption would produce a large amount of sulfur, which is not good for pregnant women.

Ling Yun went to the volcano for a walk, and when he came back, he had a person in his flying horse's claws.

Su Nuan let Feixue land in the martial arts field, and Ling Yun also brought the man to the martial arts field.

But Lingyun's flying cavalry was not gentle and threw the man down at a certain height.

Su Nuan landed on the ground and looked at Ling Yun who had jumped down from the eagle's back. "Who is he?"

Ling Yun said, "When I went over there, I saw him throwing things into the crater. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into the volcano, so I had to catch him first."
