"This humble general also thanks the princess. My father is so hungry that he can't walk. I hope that eating the food will help him recover and kill a few more barbarians!"
Seeing this, the remaining soldiers followed suit, hurriedly clutching their food and running home.
Qin Yue Zhao instructed them to return as soon as they finished delivering the goods, and not to disturb the other people.
It wasn't that she was stingy, but rather that she was unsure how much food the gods would give her, and she was afraid that there wouldn't be enough to go around, causing unnecessary panic and trouble.
——
Antique shop.
Not long after, a younger woman, dressed in a very understated manner, entered the store.
The woman wore a long, sheer white dress that shimmered in the moonlight, and her long black hair was tied up at her side with an antique, glossy jade hairpin.
Aside from the hairpin, the only other adornment on her fair wrist was a string of imperial green beads.
But it is precisely this simplicity that makes her seem like a fairy descended from heaven, completely out of place amidst the glitz and glamour of the outside world.
Chu Xiao stared at her for a long time before turning his face away in embarrassment.
These two women are more beautiful than any female celebrity in the entertainment industry.

"This country has always existed only in unofficial histories, and this bowl is the only artifact that can prove its existence!"
Chu Xiao was completely confused.
Da Gan Guo?
I've never heard of this dynasty before.
But judging from what they said, they seemed pretty awesome.
So he asked, "Excuse me, gentlemen, how much does this bowl cost?"
The beautiful boss in a cheongsam held up one finger.
Chu Xiao tentatively asked, "One million?"
The beautiful boss shook her head mysteriously.
He then asked, "So that's ten million?"
The beautiful boss shook her head again.
His eyes widened in disbelief. "You mean, this bowl is worth a hundred million?"
"Young man, it's a pity that this bowl of yours is a unique piece. If there were a complete set, it could probably sell for 500 million!"
Five hundred million?!
It's not that Chu Xiao hadn't seen 500 million before; his father's net worth was that much when he was alive.
