Chapter 508 The Imperial Princess and the Rebel Leader 21
In short.
Cha Jiu now has a big baby in her arms.
Lance now has a little master on his back.
The new master and servant team followed Lawrence and his party out of the rain forest and finally arrived at the main city of Gama.
Along the way, Cha Jiu realized how poor and backward this planet is.
Almost four-fifths of the area is a dangerous rainforest, full of insects. The only area suitable for human habitation has been almost completely occupied by Baron Osman, who built a main city where only nobles and the military can live.
The rest of the civilian population can only live in the scattered villages outside the main city. Not only are the roads full of potholes and there is no water or electricity, but they are also often attacked by alien insects, making their lives very unsafe.
But once you enter the main city, the scene in front of you is like a different planet - the roads are smooth and clean, and there are birds singing and flowers blooming all around. Modern suspended buildings and transportation vehicles can be seen everywhere, and nobles wearing luxurious clothes sit in them, chatting and laughing.
Anna saw the exquisite attire of these nobles, and then looked at herself. She couldn't help feeling inferior, and shrank behind her companions to avoid the gazes of passers-by.
Cha Jiu is even uglier than her.
Only his face was clean, the rest of his body was covered with mud and grass. His outermost layer of clothing was torn into rags, dirty and tattered, making him look like a beggar.
But every time a naughty young nobleman deliberately stopped by the roadside, threw pebbles at them, or yelled at them with vicious words to get out of the main city.
Cha Jiu would always ask Lance to catch these naughty kids.
Then, one by one, they slammed their insolent heads into the wet mud of the roadside flower beds.
"Listen, boy." Her tone was cold and calm, and her volume was not loud, but it was full of authority.
"When you live happily by stealing other people's resources, it's best not to even laugh." She said coldly, "If you can't learn to speak politely and treat others politely, don't blame me for digging out your tongue."
The little fat bug lay on Cha Jiu's shoulder, baring his teeth at the three young noblemen who were pinned to the mud and looked liarlike.
"Ji! Jijiji!" (Insect language: That's it! My tongue is all waa ...
Lance couldn't help but take another look at the noisy little bug.
The young nobleman was still cursing.
Cha Jiu: "Carlos."
Little Fat Bug: "Ji!" (Insect language: Servant!)
Lance: “…”
There was no need for Cha Jiu to say more, Lance already understood what she meant. He immediately drew the dagger from his waist and walked towards the three ignorant young masters.
...and punched the noisy fat bug that was lying on His Highness' body away.
Day by day, I get used to it.
When the young nobles saw that Cha Jiu seemed to be serious, they were immediately panicked, and their cursing turned into begging for mercy, and they swore that they would never be so rude to the poor again.
Cha Jiu gave Lance a look and the latter immediately let go.
The young masters were so frightened that they pissed and farted, and they didn't even have time to spit out the mud in their mouths. They just ran back to their own floating cars crying.
The little fat bug also climbed down from the wall and bounced back into Cha Jiu's arms.
Anna, who witnessed everything, was stunned, and her dazed gaze was fixed on Cha Jiu for a long time.
Cha Jiu did not ignore her inferiority complex and avoidance just now, so he spoke lightly.
"You don't need to feel inferior because your clothes are not as good as theirs. Gamma is your hometown and home. They, the outsiders, should be ashamed of their aggressive behavior."
Anna said nothing.
After a long while, she finally uttered a shy word.
"Are you...are you married or do you have a girl in your heart?"
Cha Jiu was stunned. When he turned around, he met Anna's shy gaze that was mixed with admiration and love.
Cha Jiu: ""
The system sighed: "This girl really falls in love with every girl she meets. I guess she thought your attitude when you confronted the young master of the noble family just now was too handsome, so she fell in love with you."
Lance's face darkened slightly. He moved his feet silently, and his tall figure blocked Anna's view of Cha Jiu.
Meanwhile, Lawrence, who was selling spices to soldiers on the other side of the city gate, also encountered problems.
"No, how can the price of spices be reduced just like that? We paid for these with our lives!"
"Yes, officer, please buy it at the original price. My child at home is still waiting for money for medical treatment."
A woman whose child was seriously ill wiped her tears and knelt in front of the soldiers begging for mercy.
The soldier kicked her away without mercy and shouted to the team behind him: "Next!"
Lawrence helped the woman up and stared at the soldiers who were buying spices with a gloomy and ugly face.
"What's wrong?" Cha Jiu walked over.
"The purchase price of spice roots has dropped." Lawrence said, suppressing his anger. "The Baron reduced the price of a bag of spice roots from sixteen star coins to ten star coins, citing the princess' marriage and the royal family's reduced demand for spices as reasons."
Almost half as much.
This was a devastating blow to all the poor families who made a living by selling spices.
The woman cried bitterly, not knowing how to face her children at home who were waiting anxiously for medicine.
In order to avoid exposing her identity, Cha Jiu sank all the conspicuous gems and treasures into the swamp in the rainforest. Now all she has left is a golden medal that symbolizes her identity as a princess.
Without hesitation, she took out the medal and smashed it in half with a stone.
Half of it was used to buy medicine for the woman.
He gave the other half to Lawrence, saying, "I can see that you are a man of integrity. Take this half of the gold and exchange it for star coins and distribute it to the people to make up for the difference in the purchase price of the spices this time."
Although Lawrence's team members once thought about handing Cha Jiu and the other two over to the Baroness, as for Lawrence himself, he also thought about rescuing them for free at first, but later he knew how to be grateful for the help and promptly dispelled the idea of repaying kindness with enmity from his team members.
In an environment where people can't even get enough food, such moral character is understandable.
Cha Jiu was confident that he had a good sense of people and was not worried that Lawrence would keep the gold for himself.
Lawrence was stunned for a moment, then his eyes gradually turned red. He took the half of the medal with both hands and said, "Thank you, sir. The civilians of Gamma will always be grateful for your kindness."
So he personally told the good news to everyone who was queuing to buy spices.
Everyone's expressions changed from stunned to disbelief, and finally they looked at Cha Jiu with tears in their eyes, and knelt down to kowtow, with their hands on their foreheads.
This is a kind person I met...
When the soldier who was buying spices saw this scene, he called someone to whisper something to him. After hearing this, the person left silently and hurried to the Baron's palace to report the situation.
Ten minutes later.
Several majestic and cold floating vehicles stopped at the city gate, and a slender, silver-haired baron wearing a dark gray high-end formal suit walked out of the middle.
He had narrow cheeks and hawk-like eyes. He looked around at all the spice sellers and spoke in a sharp voice.
“Who is threatening to pull out my grandson’s tongue?”
"Who is so bold as to disrupt the price I set for the spices?"
Everyone was terrified and dared not speak.
Cha Jiu originally had his back to him.
At this moment she turned around, facing the Baron, and at the same time pressed the mechanism that restored her true appearance.
I saw her short black hair slowly turning into dazzling gold from the roots, flowing down like a river of stars and falling to her waist, which was extremely gorgeous.
Her ordinary face transformed like a butterfly, becoming extremely beautiful.
She smiled: "Long time no see, Baron Osman."
