Mu Youran felt somewhat resistant to physical contact with a group of unfamiliar orcs.
These people had black, dirty stuff under their fingernails, and even their teeth were yellow. A foul stench wafted out whenever they opened their mouths.
She was so overwhelmed by the smell that she almost threw up.
All I could do was bite the bullet and yell, "Okay, stop pulling my skirt!"
She turned her head and looked coldly at Mo Chuan, who was watching the show from the side: "How much do they owe?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Chuan immediately perked up; he didn't want to be the bad guy either.
He quickly smiled and said, "Not much, just 50,000 seashells."
Upon hearing this number, Mu Youran felt like vomiting blood!
That's already 50,000!
She's been in business for so long and has never seen so much money!
"Isn't that enough?"
"I don't understand, how could they owe you so much?"
The fact that she directly lent so much money to others shows that Guanglin is very wealthy, but she is also quite familiar with the surrounding tribes in Yunmengze.
I've never heard of any tribe being that wealthy!
Mo Chuan shrugged: "There's nothing we can do. The firewood that their pottery tribe uses for firing kilns has always been provided by our Guanglin tribe."
"But it's been ten years, and they haven't given us a single penny."
Mu Youran: ...
"So you're only coming to collect the debt now, is that it?"
Mo Chuan was also helpless about this problem. Back then, the Tao tribe was managed by the Rat Clan, who were one of the top families in Beast King City and had no shortage of money.
The Guanglin tribe had hoped to use this business to build relationships, so they had tolerated the rat tribe's arrears.
Who knew that some Sunset Tribe would suddenly appear and steal the Tao Tribe's business, causing the Tao Tribe to lose money and eventually the Rat Tribe ran away!
The Guanglin tribe is also helpless. They have given so much. For the past ten years, whenever the Tao tribe needs firewood, they have been sending it to them day and night.
They can't just accept defeat because the rat tribe ran away!
What about all their efforts over the past ten years?
Mo Chuan's eyes flickered slightly: "We asked for it before, but our Guanglin tribe kept letting them delay payment because of our previous relationship, without charging them a single penny of interest."
"We had no choice but to come here to drag people away."
"You are their clan leader now. As long as you help them pay off their debt, we'll leave immediately!"
The other impatient males from the Guanglin tribe behind them also spoke up.
"That's right, who the hell would want to travel this far to do such a despicable thing?"
"Exactly, it's almost dark, who the hell wouldn't want to cuddle with a female in bed and sleep?"
"To have to come out and suffer like this again, I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes!"
Ultimately, it was because the orcs of the Tao tribe were too cowardly; otherwise, they wouldn't have been controlled by the rat tribe for so many years.
Now that they've lost their usefulness, they've been discarded.
The people of the Tao tribe all know very well that their only hope is Mu Youran.
Seeing that she didn't speak and seemed hesitant, he knelt down and kowtowed for help.
"Chieftain, please save us! If you save us, we'll be yours!"
"Yes, we'll make you lots and lots more pottery. Don't sell us. We really don't want to be slaves."
Please!
Looking at the large group of people kneeling in front of her, Mu Youran had a headache.
She had some sympathy, but her own wallet was empty; she had no money at all!
No matter what, she wouldn't be so foolish as to bleed herself dry just because of an overflowing sense of sympathy!
That's 50,000 seashells! How many pottery and jewelry would she have to sell to earn that back?
But judging from their attitude, it seemed that if he didn't agree, they probably wouldn't let him leave at all.
At that moment, she felt a throbbing sensation in her temples.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into her mind!
"Are you telling the truth?"
Upon hearing this, the beastmen of the Tao tribe, who were desperately pleading, immediately understood that the female was about to give in.
Xia Tu was already feeling guilty, and upon hearing this, he immediately raised his hand above his head and solemnly swore an oath!
"I swear to the Beast God, if I, Xia Tu, betray you, may I die a horrible death and be childless!"
"And we, we swear before the Beast God that if we betray you, Chieftain, we will be torn apart by wild beasts and devoured by snakes, insects, and rats!"
Everyone began to swear oaths. In the Beast World, oaths are the most important, especially oaths made to the Beast God. They take them very seriously.
Mu Youran: "Then you can let go now, right?"
Although they swore an oath, the clan chief did not.
What if she runs away if I let go?
But holding onto her like that wasn't a solution, so they looked at each other and reluctantly let go.
Seeing that they finally let go, Mu Youran breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of being enveloped by that strong stench was really unpleasant!
He walked up to Mo Chuan and said, "Let's talk alone."
"good."
As long as she admits to being the chieftain of the Tao tribe, this messy debt can be settled.
After walking to a tree and making sure their conversation wouldn't be overheard, Mu Youran spoke.
"I'll pay the bill, but I don't have the money!"
Are you kidding me?
Upon hearing this, Mo Chuan's blood rushed to his head. He was dressed so well, wearing the most popular jade and pearl jewelry in Yunmengze, and was followed by two unusual males.
They don't look like they're short of money at all!
Mu Youran: "Although I have no money, I am willing to give a portion of the profits from all pottery production of the Tao Tribe to your Guanglin Tribe."
"Oh!"
Mo Chuan couldn't help but laugh: "Do you think I'm stupid? If the Tao tribe could earn even one seashell, the rat tribe wouldn't have run away!"
Mu Youran rolled her eyes at him: "So, you know yourself that they can't make any money right now, but you just had to lie and say that they can make it back in a few days, right?"
After being exposed by her again, Mo Chuan lost his temper. There was nothing he could do about it.
As a warrior of the Guanglin tribe, he naturally had to think about the well-being of his tribe.
Mu Youran didn't want to argue about right and wrong with him right now, so she spoke frankly.
"Without me, they certainly wouldn't have made any money, but now that I'm their clan leader, I'm sure I can make that money back!"
"Because the Treasure Pavilion is mine!"
