Mu Youran suddenly mentioned the rat clan, causing Long Yin to frown slightly.
"I don't like that Shuming."
Mu You was slightly surprised. She had considered this possibility; they might know each other, but that didn't necessarily mean they had a good relationship.
"Why?"
Long Yin held You Ran's water glass for a while before speaking.
"I just don't like him. He always likes to scheme against others."
Seeing his expression, Mu Youran understood that this Shu Ming was indeed a cunning beastman.
You can tell from just those few words I just said.
Moreover, it seems that Long Yin has suffered a loss at his hands before, otherwise he wouldn't be so resistant.
In any case, as long as the Dragon Shadow and the Rat Clan are not on the same side, that's fine.
Mu Youran gently stroked his long, lake-blue hair and smiled soothingly.
"I don't like him either. If they cause trouble again next time, you better give them a piece of your mind!"
These words were like a spring breeze, blowing into Long Yin's heart. He looked up at You Ran, who was comforting him, and felt a surge of emotion.
He thought that You Ran would look down on him because of this.
Unexpectedly, she not only aligned herself with him, but also encouraged him in this way.
It was as if a ray of light had shone into his heart; his previously hunched back straightened, and he nodded firmly: "Yes."
"Then help me open a coconut!"
"Okay, I'll get it done for you right away!"
Long Yin quickly took out a green coconut from his spatial storage, deftly drilled a hole in it, and inserted a hollow grass tube.
While everyone else was busy at work, You Ran and Long Yin sat under a tree, leisurely drinking coconut juice and chewing on dried meat, looking incredibly content.
Long Yin thoughtfully lifted her slightly swollen legs and gently massaged them to relieve the swelling.
The business in the nearby Malin area is also doing well, but it's still far behind the others.
He had witnessed everything that was happening here and was very envious.
If his linen and silk could be sold in conjunction with their business, his business would probably be even better.
At that time, his status in the tribe will be even higher!
As he pondered this, he became increasingly tempted. When he saw them packing up their stall and about to leave, he quickly stopped them.
"Gentlemen, why don't you come to my house for a simple meal?"
"I live right behind this shop, it's very close!"
Mu Youran was really tired, but Ma Lin was quite kind to them, giving them such a large space to set up their stall.
After discussing it with Ying Yaoluo and Bai, they agreed.
The shop doesn't look big from the outside, but it's quite spacious inside, especially in the back, where there's a large courtyard.
As soon as Mu Youran entered, her gaze fell on the several earthenware jars next to her, because they were filled with red and dark green water.
Masuko felt embarrassed when she realized that Masuko had discovered those things.
After all, he had secretly learned the dyeing technique from someone else.
Moreover, he hadn't even successfully learned it by stealing.
He could only quickly explain, "Well, I was trying to do it privately, but I didn't expect that I couldn't dye those colors at all, and when I wore it, it even stained my skin."
Mu Youran smiled slightly. This kid is honest enough. After all, the dyeing technique is very compatible with the Ma Yi tribe. If the Ma Yi tribe mastered this technology, their business would be able to reach an unprecedented level of prosperity.
Whether considering the benefits of the technique or out of curiosity about dyeing, I would want to give it a try.
It's normal that hemp fibers can't be dyed properly.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be considered technology!
What kind of meat are we having tonight?
"It's monster meat!"
Seeing that she didn't mention the dyeing, Malin and Masi breathed a sigh of relief and replied gratefully.
This is monster meat that they specially bought to treat them.
The group sat at the table, which was laden with delicious dishes, including stir-fried oyster mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and the usual roasted and stewed meat.
She looked at the plate of stir-fried mushrooms curiously: "What is this? It looks weird!"
Speaking of this, Ma Lin said with great pride: "This is made by a restaurant in Beast King City. I heard it's called stir-fried mushrooms. It has a smooth and slippery texture and tastes better than roasted meat!"
"And this mashed potato, it's from there too!"
Mu Youran picked up a piece of stir-fried oyster mushroom with her chopsticks. It tasted good, and she hadn't had this kind of stir-fry in a long time.
"The taste is quite good."
As he spoke, he placed a chopstick on Ying Yao's plate, Luo Bai's plate, and Long Yin's plate.
Long Yin was somewhat reluctant to eat the unfamiliar food, but since You Ran had personally served it to him, he would have been willing to eat it even if it were poison.
I put it in my mouth and my eyes lit up instantly.
"It really tastes delicious!"
Seeing You Ran take a bite and then pick up another piece, he said, "You Ran, why don't we buy some of these mushrooms and eat our fill?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Lin couldn't help but laugh.
"This guy is talking nonsense! These mushrooms are the most expensive thing in that restaurant. The few mushrooms I have are only because You Ran helped us make clothes last time and was appreciated by the clan leader!"
It's not that he said people couldn't afford it, but this isn't something you can just buy with money; you need connections!
Long Yin was very unhappy to be spoken to like that so directly!
You know, usually only her father and You Ran would give her the cold shoulder and make her angry; there was no one else.
Letting Shuming run rampant was an accident!
"It's just food. If others can eat it, why can't I?"
The tone of his words was somewhat harsh, and Mu Youran realized that he was a little angry.
She quickly reached out and grasped his hand, which was resting on the table: "Long Yin, don't be angry. It's not worth it for a few bites of food."
Seeing him get angry, Ma Lin realized that he had just said the wrong thing and offended someone. He was thinking about how to smooth things over when he heard a name that shocked him.
His gaze fell directly on Long Yin across from him, and Long Yin's signature lake-blue hair made his heart skip a beat.
But he still cautiously asked Mu Youran, "What did you just call him?"
Mu Youran was unaware of his presence, perhaps because Ma Lin was old and hard of hearing.
He smiled and said, "He's my partner, his name is Long Yin!"
Upon hearing this, his legs went weak, and he grabbed his son, collapsing to his knees with a thud.
"The Hidden Prince!"
"I was blind and didn't recognize you. It's my fault, please don't be angry!"
Long Yin snorted coldly. He was genuinely angry just now, but You Ran had come to comfort him, and he wasn't the kind of person who would hold a grudge even if he was in the right.
"Get up."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ma Lin wiped the cold sweat from his face, his legs trembling with weakness. He truly never imagined that he would one day be able to see the Hidden Prince at such close range.
Although these businessmen had never met the Hidden Prince, the orcs who had spent some time in Beast King City all knew about him.
Only the masters of the Orcish continent dare to call dragons!
Their natural trademark is their lake-blue hair, and their beast form is a blue dragon. However, he never imagined that he would encounter such a high and mighty beastman as a prince.
Therefore, I didn't notice the color of that hair.
