Hu Zhong wiped the oil off his chin, picked up the juice next to him and took a big gulp, his eyes immediately lighting up.

"What kind of fruit is this juice from? It tastes so good!"

The other males couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

This tiger guard, I heard, is one of Prince Yin's men. He's dressed so well and has such delicate skin, yet he's never eaten anything like this before.

You know, they're almost tired of all this fried meat, roasted meat, stewed meat, and this fruit juice!

Qingshan picked up the earthenware jar, walked over, and said with a smile, "Eat more if you like."

Mu Youran placed her cup aside and gestured for Qingshan to pour her some as well.

"Try to eat more, because I probably won't be able to eat properly for several days from now."

This was Mu Youran's first time traveling far from home without a partner, and she had to do everything herself.

After making the bed, it was already very late.

I slept until dawn, and after getting ready, Yingxiao and Huzhong were already waiting outside.

"Sister-in-law, let's go. We'll fly after we leave the market."

Mu Youran nodded. Although it was the off-season, there were still many animal skin sheds and passersby around.

Eagle's Cry is a large beast form. If it were to take flight here, the strong winds might blow other beastmen away, causing unnecessary trouble.

Carrying the small package that Qingshan had specially given her last night, she said, "Let's go."

However, before they even left the street, they discovered several male orcs setting up stalls on the roadside, all of whom were selling pottery!

The workmanship was so rough that no one wanted to stop and stay.

Moreover, these orcs were dressed in a very disheveled state. Mu Youran was very curious as to how so many people suddenly knew how to make pottery.

I walked over, picked up a pottery jar, and weighed it in my hand. It was not only very heavy, but also had many small dents on it.

How much is this earthenware pot?

The three were dressed exceptionally well, and Xia Tu noticed them before they even reached his stall.

Unexpectedly, they came to his stall to ask about prices, and he felt a little embarrassed.

He sat awkwardly on the ground: "Just, just ten seashells."

Upon hearing the price, Mu Youran looked up and met his gaze, which revealed both trepidation and shyness.

This person clearly isn't good at interacting with people.

Although the price was half of what she sold for, the quality was truly worrying, no wonder people were unwilling to buy it.

"This is a bit expensive."

Upon hearing this, Xia Tu became even more uneasy, his dark hands constantly fiddling with the animal skin skirt that was already shedding its fur.

This price is already the lowest it can go; if it goes any lower, they'll lose money.

He knew very well the quality of his own pottery; it couldn't compare to the bright red pottery in the Treasure Pavilion.

That's why he lowered the price, but he didn't expect that even with such a large price reduction, no one would come to buy.

Finally, someone showed up, and he didn't want to give up so easily. He hadn't eaten meat for two days and was starving!

"If you want them, I'll sell you five seashells."

Hearing this lack of confidence, Mu Youran was certain that this person not only lacked business acumen, but also spoke with a lack of self-confidence.

I don't know why someone like that would come here to do business.

"Which tribe are you from? I remember that only the Pottery Tribe and the Sunset Tribe know how to make this pottery."

Xia Tu slowly stood up: "We are from the Tao tribe."

Upon hearing this, Mu Youran's gaze immediately locked onto him. She had seen the orcs from the Tao tribe selling things before. Although they weren't very good at business, they weren't this dull-witted!

Moreover, the price has always been controlled by the rat people, so why is it suddenly being changed so arbitrarily?

"Weren't the prices in your Tao tribe always very stable? Why are you charging such exorbitant prices now?"

Xia Tu was very flustered. He had only just started setting up a stall here and had never left the tribe before.

Finally, someone asked about the price, and he didn't want them to leave just like that.

He quickly explained, "It was because of the rat tribe before, but they've left and no longer care about our Tao tribe, so we can set the price ourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Youran's heart skipped a beat: "Why did the rat clan leave?"

"Does that mean you don't even have a clan leader now?"

Speaking of this, Xia Tu was also embarrassed, because their Tao tribe was now a mess, a mess with a mountain of debt, and no one wanted to be the chieftain.

That's why things are so disorganized now. Even when making pottery, it's just a few close friends working together, making their own pottery and then selling it to earn a living.

Seeing his expression, Mu Youran understood. It turned out that the rat tribe could no longer get any benefits from the Tao tribe, so they simply abandoned them!

Suddenly, she thought of something and smiled, "I want all these pottery pieces. Can you take me to see your tribe?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Tu's eyes lit up with excitement, and a simple smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, I'll take you there right away!"

Mu Youran: "No rush, let's move these things to the Treasure Pavilion first, and then we'll talk after we pay you."

Upon hearing the words "Treasure Pavilion," Xia Tu paused slightly while tidying up the pottery, but only for a moment before resuming his work with even greater efficiency.

He had already heard that his tribe's pottery was not selling because the Sunset Tribe had come to Yunmengze, and their pottery was even more exquisite and beautiful than theirs.

Not only that, but they also opened a shop called Zhenbaolou here this winter, and business is booming.

This is why the rat tribe saw no hope in their pottery tribe, abandoned them, and ran away leaving a mess behind.
