Mu Weiliang hugged the cub back into her arms: "You see, it doesn't want to follow you, and it doesn't want to leave, so you can leave now."
Both sides stubbornly refused to leave. They had finally caught a white tiger cub, and even if they couldn't form a contract with it, they could still sell it for a good price.
Now that things are like this, they can't get any money or goods, how can they be content with that!
“Your Highness, since this white tiger cub is willing to follow you, we will not force it to stay. However, Your Highness should understand the difficulties we have faced. May I ask what Your Highness offers in exchange for this white tiger cub?”
Mu Weiliang glanced at the middle-aged man who dared to bargain with her.
"Then tell me, what do you want?"
The middle-aged man looked at his team members, then turned to Mu Weiliang: "We've been staking out this cub for almost two days, and everyone in our team has been involved. So, Your Highness, if you could give each of us a thousand taels of silver, we would give this cub to Your Highness."
Mu Weiliang scoffed at him, "You really have a good plan. Let's not even talk about 1,000 taels per person. There are ten people in your group, that's 10,000 taels of silver. Once you leave the secret realm, how much would a fully grown white tiger cost? Besides, are you sure you can make decisions about this white tiger cub?"
“That’s right. We found the white tiger cub together. So, if each of you gets a thousand taels, our team also needs a thousand taels per person. Otherwise, we won’t agree.”
"Exactly! Why should their team be in charge?"
The middle-aged man said sternly, "Although we discovered it together, I was the one who caught it in the end, so of course I have the final say!"
Another group: "Ha, that cub is in someone else's arms now, so it belongs to someone else. What are you thinking about, giving each person a thousand taels? You're dreaming!"
Mu Weiliang's eyelids twitched when she heard his words.
Young man, you have a bright future ahead of you. You've spoken my mind.
He had originally intended to use those words to shut the middle-aged man up, but the young man said it for him.
"That's right, uncle. The cub is in my arms right now. What makes you think it's yours? And why do you want me to give each of us a thousand taels of silver? Besides, in this secret realm, whoever has it in the end owns it, right? So, right now, this cub belongs to me. Those who are honest, get out of the way. Those who don't know their place, let's have a go."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man glared angrily at the young man. He had been hoping to exchange the white tiger cub for some money, but now this bastard had ruined everything. This was outrageous! He'd wait and see. He dared not offend His Highness the Crown Prince, but he could certainly put pressure on the other side's forces.
"Your Highness, since you've said that, then consider it our doing our best for you. Let's not talk about the white tiger cub anymore. Your Highness, please continue with your business. We'll be leaving now."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he glared fiercely at the other team and led his own team in another direction.
Seeing that the people had gone far away, Mu Weiliang instructed Qianxun to give each of them five hundred taels of silver.
"Although this cub came here on its own, this money is a reward so that your efforts won't be in vain. Besides, I don't think those people will let this go easily, so you should find a place to hide and stay far away from them after the secret realm ends!"
The young man put away the silver and thanked Mu Weiliang: "Thank you, Your Highness. We originally came here partly for training and partly to find some goods to exchange for money. We are already very satisfied with what we have achieved. Thank you, Your Highness. We will be careful."
After the young man finished speaking, he said goodbye to Mu Weiliang and left with the rest of his group.
Mu Weiliang looked at the cub in her arms and stroked its fur: "You little guy, you cost me several thousand taels of silver, that's really expensive."
The little cub whimpered and nestled in his arms, finding a comfortable spot to continue snuggling.
Anyway, he doesn't understand what it's saying, so he'll stop talking and just go to sleep. His strength will only recover when he's asleep! Once his strength is restored, he can form a contract with it. It's too weak right now and can't withstand the power of a contract.
Chihiro looked on in disbelief at the prince's extravagant spending on a mere cub.
When did Your Highness become so generous? You usually don't spend money on things. What's going on today?
Could there be something special about this little cub? But His Highness doesn't understand cubs, so how would he know if it's special or not?
Chihiro just can't understand this spendthrift prince!
Forget it, His Highness can spend his money however he wants!
