Upon hearing Xuan Feng's warning, Mu Youran stopped crying and looked up at Xuan Feng, puzzled.
"What clue did you discover?"
Xuan Feng smiled slightly: "No, that's not true. However, Ping San used to be an orc from the Tianlang tribe."
Mu Youran understood immediately; it seemed she knew far too little about what had happened to the Tianlang tribe.
She needs to find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Wolf and Dog Egg.
I slept without any dreams.
When she woke up, the other half of the bed beside her was already cold, and she didn't know when Xuan Feng had left.
He ate a little bit of wild vegetable soup but couldn't eat anymore, so he took Wen'e straight to the Treasure Pavilion.
Wolf and the other males had been waiting impatiently. Last night, when Dog Egg came back, he told them that Youran would be going to buy animal hides today.
However, they waited at the shop entrance since dawn, and now the sun has risen, but they still haven't come.
One of the orcs grew anxious: "Wolf King, Chieftain's wife, are you not coming?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sharp-eyed male spotted You Ran and Wen E, who had arrived late.
"Oh, they're here! They're here!"
Wolf Da excitedly picked up the basket beside him and hurried over: "Madam Chief, you've finally arrived."
Seeing their anxious expressions, Mu Youran smiled gently; this was nothing to her.
However, this is very important for the Sirius tribe, who are about to spend the winter.
Let's go!
They then went straight into the nearest hide shop, which was filled with tanned hides of all colors: red, yellow, white, black, and hemp.
Some even had animal skin skirts hanging up for sale.
The shop owner recognized Mu Youran at a glance and excitedly rushed over to greet her.
His face was beaming with a wide smile: "Your Highness, what brings you to my little shop?"
Mu Youran smiled politely at the mountain of animal hides: "I'm here to buy some animal hides, so you'd better give me a fair price!"
The shop owner glanced at Lang Da and his group behind her; each of them was carrying an empty basket on their backs. This was clearly a big business opportunity!
"Your Highness, rest assured, the prices will be fair. How about I give you a 20% discount on everything?"
Mu Youran touched the animal hides; the quality was acceptable, but the sizes were uneven.
Then he called Wolf and the others over to choose: "You guys choose, try to get the bigger and better ones!"
Upon hearing this, Wolf and his gang, who had been itching to get their hands on the sleek animal hides, immediately reached out!
They used to be the ones who supplied animal hides to the rat tribe, so they naturally knew which ones were good and which ones were bad. Soon, the five males searched through all the animal hides in the shop.
He selected a bunch of good quality ones and set them aside: "Your Highness, these are all, seventy-two in total!"
The boss was dumbfounded. He had thought these men were all poor and shabby, but he never expected that they were traveling with the princess.
Sure enough, he had a sharp eye and immediately picked out the best animal hide in his shop.
"Originally it was 150 gold coins, now it's 120 gold coins after the discount."
Mu Youran paid the money without thinking. The profit margin for selling animal hides is not high to begin with, so there's no need to haggle over such a small amount of money!
"Can you deliver this to my home outside the city without any problem?"
Then he took out three more gold coins and placed them aside.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the three extra gold coins, and he quickly put them away.
"Of course!"
He found a flying orc outside, and once the goods were packed up, he could take them all away at once. All this would only cost two gold coins, and he could even make a profit.
Wolf felt a pang of heartache seeing that she had given him so much money and even three extra gold coins.
Besides, weren't they carrying baskets? In their eyes, You Ran had just wasted three gold coins!
As he stepped out of the shop, he couldn't help but ask, "Madam Chief, we should have negotiated the price again; perhaps it could have been reduced even further."
“That’s right, and we can carry all those things ourselves, it’s not worth spending three more gold coins!”
Upon hearing this, Mu Youran smiled faintly: "It wasn't a waste of money, you'll find out soon enough."
"Also, you can leave your baskets with Wen'e for now, and we'll give them to you when you need them."
Wolf and the others shook their heads repeatedly. They had come prepared to carry things, but now they hadn't carried anything and didn't even want to carry their own baskets. This was just too outrageous.
However, Wen'e simply reached out and took all their baskets, saying, "Alright."
"Carrying such a big basket on your back, if you tear someone's clothes, you'll have to pay for it!"
Only then did Wolf and his companions notice that everyone else around them was dressed very well; even the worst animal hides were of high quality.
If the feathers were to be scraped off by their baskets, they would probably have to pay for it, not to mention those wearing silk and linen.
They'd rather sell themselves than lose this money!
Without their baskets, Wolf and his companions felt lightheaded and unsteady on their feet.
Fortunately, they soon found their way into a second hide shop.
As soon as Mu Youran entered, she received a 20% discount, allowing Wolf and the others to select a considerable number of animal hides.
The shopkeeper chuckled and quickly quoted a price: "Your Highness, a total of one hundred and twenty animal hides, two hundred gold coins!"
Mu Youran readily paid the money and, as usual, had them deliver it to her door.
For the first time, Wolf and his friends experienced the pride of being guests. This feeling of paying money without even taking anything was actually quite nice.
However, as soon as they left, one of the males, with a pointed snout and monkey-like face, came out from inside.
He glanced coldly at Mu Youran, who had disappeared into the crowd, but his heart was burning with hatred.
A pair of fists were tightly tucked behind his back: "Send half of these animal hides to the slums in the east of the city for those orcs with infectious diseases to use for a while, then bring them back!"
The shop owner, who was happily packing animal hides, suddenly tensed up upon hearing this.
"Young Master Rat, this... I'm afraid it's not a good idea. What if the Princess and the others get sick?"
You must know that the princess is pregnant now. If she contracts an infectious disease, it will be very dangerous.
He was just an ordinary male making a living in Beast King City, and he didn't want to get into trouble.
However, as soon as he said this, he was glared at fiercely by Shu Ming, which made his legs go weak and he could only agree.
If he doesn't agree, this might be his death day.
This Rat Prince is notoriously ruthless and cunning; he's not someone to mess with.
Besides, this shop originally belonged to him; he was just working here to earn a wage.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"
Watching the boss have his things dragged away in a hurry, he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"Oh!"
"Mu Youran, you have ruined my rat clan, and I will make you pay for it with your life!"
