Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 57: Fighting for Xue Zhao (2)

This was the only thing that made her happy during this period.

But Ban You is now troubled by how to complete this task.

The most important thing now is to understand what the situation is outside the library.

"System, can you detect the situation outside the secret room?"

"Host, wait a moment. I can try."

After a while, the system replied to Ban You in a light tone.

"Host, only Zhou Heng and Cang Zhuo are outside the secret room. The two of them are now on the verge of a fight. Cang Zhuo wants to take Xue Zhao away, but Zhou Heng refuses to budge. Cang Zhuo wants to exchange a city outside the domain for Xue Zhao to go back with him."

"Oh, he's willing to do it." Ban You said, thinking of something and communicating with the system. "By the way, can you find out all the details about the Sky Fox and the Min Cang Clan?"

"That's possible, but it will take some time."

"Okay, as soon as you can."

While the system was searching for information, Ban You sat at the door of the secret room holding Xue Zhao and began to think about how to complete the side quest.

"It would be great if you could find a way to drive them away."

"Squeak!" (This princess can do it!)
"Really?!" Ban You widened his eyes in surprise and brightened up when he heard Xue Zhao's reply.

"Squeak!" (The Sky Foxes have a secret method to confuse humans, but... I haven't learned it yet...)
"Ah..." Ban You lowered his head in disappointment after hearing Xue Zhao's answer.

She was so excited when she heard the first half of the sentence, as if the three thousand taels were right before her eyes. But the second half made her see the three thousand taels drifting further and further away...

"Sigh..." Ban You sighed, "Now I can only hope that the system can find some useful information."

At the same time, outside the secret room, Cang Zhuo was negotiating with Zhou Heng over a city.

"My Mincang clan is full of rare and precious treasures, and Lingxiao City is the most abundant. If the Ninth Prince returns the Saint Girl to me, I will offer Lingxiao City to you. How do you think?"

When Zhou Heng heard this condition, he couldn't help but laugh, but there was a hint of disdain in his laugh.

"I have indeed heard of Lingxiao City, but do you really think I don't know what the Cang clan leader is planning and what he is thinking?"

"Although Lingxiao City is the largest city of your Mincang clan, if the treasure house of our Great Zhou cannot be opened, sooner or later you will attack and retake this city, and even march directly to our Great Zhou territory. By then, the people of our Great Zhou will be destitute and suffer day and night."

"Patriarch Cang has a very good plan!"

Cang Zhuo heard Zhou Heng's words but didn't refute them. He lowered his eyes and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I advise the Cang clan leader to go back as soon as possible. After all, it takes nearly half a month to get from here to the Min Cang clan. It's better to go back early."

When Cang Zhuo heard Zhou Heng's words, he suddenly raised his head from where he had been hanging it, and looked at Zhou Heng with a sinister smile on his face: "Ninth Prince, do you mean to say that you don't intend to cooperate with me anymore?"

"Could it be that the Ninth Prince doesn't even want the throne anymore?"

Cang Zhuo's words were full of threats, and Zhou Heng felt even more furious when he heard this.

The last time Cang Zhuo came to him, he used the throne to lure him into cooperating with him. Now he is using the same trick again, as if the throne of the Great Zhou is in the palm of his Min Cang clan's hand and can be exchanged for anything.

"Cang Zhuo! Don't go too far!" Zhou Heng suddenly stood up, slammed the table and looked at Cang Zhuo fiercely.

Cang Zhuo saw the furious Zhou Heng and suddenly smiled. He leaned forward, raised his head and looked at Zhou Heng, his eyes meeting his own, his narrow fox eyes flickering with a hint of smile.

But the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Ninth Prince, why are you so angry? I am only telling the truth. If you hand over the Saint Girl to me, I will repay you a hundredfold."

As Cang Zhuo spoke, he pressed his feather fan against Zhou Heng's chest, a playful smile on his lips, and his voice was coaxing.

Zhou Heng slapped the feather fan from Cang Zhuo's hand, pointed his finger at Cang Zhuo, and said with a sharp look: "I warn you, the throne of my Great Zhou is not something that an outsider like you can get your hands on. If you dare to do anything that harms the interests of my Great Zhou, I will personally lead the army to conquer your Min Cang clan."

Cang Zhuo didn't take it seriously when he heard this. He gently pressed Zhou Heng's fingers with his feather fan and said softly, "I... hate it most... when someone... points their finger at me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden needle flew towards Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng dodged in time, and the needle pierced the wooden cabinet behind him. "I know the Ninth Prince's rules. My Min Cang clan has plenty of money. Even if I destroy your store, I can afford it!"

After that, the two of them started fighting with each other in the room, going back and forth, neither giving in.

Zhou Heng took off the sleeve sword wrapped around his waist to block the golden needle stabbed by Cang Zhuo.

The large room was smashed to pieces by the two men in a short while.

Ban You in the secret room could vaguely hear the sounds of fighting outside, but the sound insulation was so good that she couldn't hear what was happening outside at all.

At this moment, the system sent its investigation results.

"Host, according to the information I've retrieved, the Outer Domain is a collective term for three cities and six tribes. The most powerful of these is the Min Cang tribe. Although it's a tribe, it has seven cities and breeds thousands of beasts. It's the most powerful force in the Outer Domain and the one that poses the greatest threat to the Great Zhou."

"Where's the fox that day?"

"Sky Foxes have long existed on Mount Tianshan. A hundred years ago, a rebellion broke out within the Sky Fox Clan, resulting in countless casualties. The cause was discovered to be the current Sky Fox elders, dissatisfied with the Fox King's rule, colluding with the then-leader of the Min Cang Clan to launch a rebellion."

"However, because this rebellion was too tragic for the Sky Fox Clan, the written records of it were destroyed. As a result, the young Sky Foxes today do not know the specific events of that year."

"Since then, the position of elder has been abolished among the Sky Foxes. The Fox King now controls everything. Furthermore, apart from the Sky Fox royal family, other Sky Foxes are unable to practice any secret arts."

"By the way, host, I have also discovered something about Xue Zhao becoming the Holy Maiden of the Min Cang Clan."

"What do you mean?"

"The Min Cang tribe has a secret medicine that can preserve youthful beauty and enhance their skills. The most important ingredient is the blood of the celestial fox."

"What?!" Ban You widened his eyes in shock when he heard the news and looked at Xue Zhao.

At this time, Xue Zhao tilted his head and looked at Ban You with a silly and cute expression.

"How dare they..." Ban You said, shaking with anger. "So, Cang Zhuo lied to me, right? Everything he said was a lie?"

"Host, I can't confirm this, but what I can confirm is that the Sky Fox had severed ties with the Min Cang Clan a hundred years ago."

"I understand. Let me think about it." Ban You said and began to fall into deep thought.

It was not until she felt her dress being pulled that she came to her senses.

"What's the matter, Xue Zhao?"

"Squeak!" (There's a lot of noise outside.)
Only then did Ban You realize that the noise outside the secret room was getting more and more intense, and it was no longer the weak noise just now.

Her face changed as she thought of something. She looked down at Xue Zhao and told him seriously, "Xue Zhao, hide quickly. No one can come out unless it's me. Understand?"

"Squeak!" (This princess understands!)

With a "whoosh", Xue Zhao disappeared from Ban You's sight.

Only then did she push the mechanism with confidence and walked out of the secret room.

Zhou Heng heard the sound of the secret room door and turned around to look, but he didn't notice it at all and was hit by Cang Zhuo's palm.

He vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Ban You shouted his name and ran over.

"Mr. Zhou!" Ban You ran to him and supported him, his eyes full of worry.

Zhou Heng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a low and hoarse voice: "It's okay, help me up."

Ban You helped Zhou Heng up, thought about everything he had just learned from the system, and turned to glare at Cang Zhuo.
