Chapter 80 Shameless
The Snake Mountain beastman, feeling as if the sky had collapsed, watched the swaggering figure disappear into the distance and suddenly regretted his own loose tongue. Why had he gone to such lengths to pick a fight with this fiend? But it was too late.

Since Chang Tianchen has made his statement, if they really don't provide compensation, this madman will truly go back to Snake Mountain and empty their warehouse...

Guangsi sighed and led a few clansmen away, while Chang Tianchen stood with his arms crossed under the tree, his eyes filled with coldness, watching them walk away with disdain: "What a bunch of cowards."

Ling Chengen chuckled and said, "If they really resist you, can you resist taking action?"

"If they don't resist now, it suits your purposes perfectly, but then you complain that they have no backbone."

Chang Tianchen turned his head to look at Ling Chengen beside him. The wind blew from behind, blowing her long hair by her ear and catching on her rather long eyelashes, making her a little uncomfortable. She reached out and brushed it away a few times before finally tucking the strand of hair back behind her ear.

He watched quietly for a while, then couldn't help but purse his lips, gently licking the space between his lips with the tip of his tongue. That feeling of excitement and restlessness slowly began to rise again.

He had to lean his burning back against the cool, rough tree trunk, using the chill of the bark to calm his raging desires, but his Adam's apple still bobbed a few times, and his brows gradually lowered.

Ling Chengen smelled the fragrance gradually emanating from him again, frowned and stared intently at him: "Again?"

Chang Tianchen tilted his head and laughed in a nonchalant manner, "You think I want to?"

"You snake-race orcs are really... quite terrifying."

Like a teddy bear.

"If you're willing to help me with treatment, maybe I can control it myself, but right now my self-control is really weak, there's nothing I can do about it."

Chang Tianchen took the bamboo cup next to her and drank the now-cold water in one gulp. Noticing the gaze from Beiya hiding behind the tree, he immediately looked at her, making no attempt to hide the chilling killing intent in his eyes.

When facing Ling Chengen, he was willing to control his behavior.

But Bea... ha.

He could kill her a hundred times and he wouldn't even blink.

The first day of the trade fair ended with the exchange of goods among the tribes.

Before nightfall, Chongzhen and Baixi had packed up the salt stones and other supplies they had exchanged, preparing to return to where they had stayed the day before.

Before it got completely dark, Ling Chengen observed the clouds in the sky and confirmed the weather with Xiao Huangtong.

It's been raining since tonight.

The rain wasn't heavy, but it was intermittent and annoying.

Therefore, we cannot stay in the open space outside tonight; we can only stay in the cave.

"Will the rain stop when we go back?" Bai Xi sat on a rock at the entrance of the cave, looking up at the falling rain, catching a few drops of cold rainwater in her hand, and turning to look at Ling Chengen standing to the side.

Ling Chengen: "It might stop, but we also need to be prepared that it might not stop."

She had originally planned to return on the third day of the trade fair, but today she discussed with Chongzhen about taking action against the human traffickers in the black market... so she definitely couldn't leave that day and would have to wait until the trade fair was completely over.

The trade market typically lasts three days; this refers to tribal trade.

However, retail trading may continue for another one or two days starting from the third day.

In other words, the actual border trade lasted for five days.

However, Shilin usually returns on the third day.

After all, staying at the border market for too long would cause problems with food and lodging.

First of all, they didn't have enough food when they went out.

"Chongzhen said you want to kidnap those beast slaves being sold in the dark market?" Bai Xi asked.

Ling Chengen corrected, "It's a cub."

“The cubs are even more uncontrollable than those beast slaves,” Bai Xi sighed. “I’ve been to the dark market once, and like you, I despise those who sell beast slaves. But you should know that none of the beastmen who dare to do this kind of business are easy to mess with.”

"Moreover, apart from the females in the black market, there are actually very few females participating in the mutual market. Once you show up, you will be easily recognized."

Being the attacker with overly obvious characteristics is not a good thing.

It's easy to get yourself into trouble.

Bai Xi turned to look at Beya, who was being watched over by Chang Tianchen: "Moreover, if you want to ambush those people, you have to deal with that Snow Wolf Clan beastman inside first."

“Otherwise, if several or even a dozen people suddenly disappear, she will definitely notice. If we let her leave our sight alive, she will definitely leak the news... You understand what I mean, right?”

Although Bai Xi doesn't like making decisions, as Bai Qingyu said, he is actually very smart. As long as he is willing to think, he can keenly grasp many key points.

Ling Chengen: "I do have ideas about dealing with her, or transferring her away, but ultimately we need to arrange for someone who can keep an eye on her and keep an eye on her."

"I have no intention of simply returning them to their original owners."

The Snow Wolf Clan Chief's wife is still quite valuable.

Chongzhen walked in from outside, wearing a brown coat. He took off the large leaf that was hanging upside down from his head and threw it directly in the corner of the cave. He tilted his head slightly, wrung out his wet long hair in front of his right shoulder, and complained, "This damn leaf does nothing to keep out the rain. I'm soaked like a drowned rat."

After using his supernatural abilities to dry his hair, he took off the brown robe he was wearing and hung it on the rock wall.

The brown raincoat is actually a raincoat made of dragon's beard grass or cattail grass.

The raincoat is poorly made, but it's still usable.

Otherwise, they had no other way to avoid the rain.

"What were you doing outside just now?" Ling Chengen asked, puzzled.

Chongzhen turned around and looked behind him. After a while, Gangfeng also walked over from the rain: "Did you find it?"

Chongzhen nodded: "We found some."

Gangfeng took a palm-sized animal skin bag from his waist: "Give it to me."

Ling Chengen watched them exchange a few words in cryptic language. Finally, Chongzhen threw some seeds into the animal skin bag. After Gangfeng walked deeper into the cave, he explained, "We just went to find seeds of dragon's beard grass and cattail."

"The weather has been bad these past few days, it's been raining like this. Not only does the salt stone easily absorb moisture, but even the dried medicinal herbs we exchanged are prone to getting damp and moldy. There are a few wood-type beastmen with us this time, so I was thinking of having them grow some grass that can be used to weave rain mats, maybe we'll need it later."

Even if we don't need it, we can lay it on the ground and use it as a makeshift bed. Sleeping directly on the ground is too damp.

Ling Chengen nodded: "You can arrange these."

Chongzhen was indeed very thoughtful. She had considered that there might be dampness inside the cave, but Chang Tianchen was always there, and there was a lot of fire element gathered around him, so she had him stay next to the goods that needed to be kept dry, so he could act as a human desiccant.

Chang Tianchen was initially unwilling, but Ling Chengen promised that if the goods were brought back to the tribe intact, she would provide him with his first treatment.

If the goods or Bea suffer even the slightest loss, her treatment this month will be impossible.

Although Chang Tianchen was unwilling, he reluctantly agreed.

However, before placing the goods inside the cave, she arranged for a few orcs to cut down some trees and simply build a partition to store the goods, so that no one could use their supernatural abilities to directly access the supplies from underground, and it would also serve as a moisture barrier.

"What were you discussing just now? Why do you look so serious?" Ling Chengen leaned against the cave wall, took out two strips of meat from the animal skin bag at his waist, handed one to Chongzhen, and stuffed the other into his own mouth: "We were talking about Bea."

"To keep them alive, or to kill them?"

Chongzhen put the meat strip in her mouth, tied her loose long hair back up, tilted her head and said, "Is there any need to think about this? We must first take over her space. If we can keep her alive, we should try our best to save her life. In the end, we must make a killing off that old bastard."

"Was this such a difficult decision?"

Ling Chengen shook his head, then suddenly looked at Bai Xi and smiled: "I think he's right."

She thought so too.

Bai Xi said speechlessly, "If that's the case, how do we take back her space without killing her?"

“We only have two days. We need to prepare to return in two days.” Bai Xi hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “Even if we don’t go back, we must create the illusion of returning, and then turn back to kidnap people.”

Ling Chengen stood up and said, "I want that jade space."

“But how should I put it, everyone who sees it gets a share… How about we each rely on our own abilities, and whoever can take away the space while ensuring her life, that space will belong to them?” Ling Chengen looked at Bai Xi, “You Hanshan can try first, if it doesn’t work, then we Shilin can try.”

Chongzhen suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Does Yaoluo have a chance to try?"

Ling Chengen and Bai Xi turned to stare at him simultaneously and said in unison, "No."

Chongzhen wasn't discouraged. He withdrew his left hand, shrugged, and said, "I was just asking casually. You guys can argue about it."

There are only three people in Yaoluo, and they will have to rely on Hanshan and Shilin in the future. Even if they can get their hands on it, he doesn't dare to let Gangfeng take it.

Bai Xi didn't stand on ceremony with Ling Chengen, since Ling Chengen seemed confident and certain that she had a plan.

"Then we in Hanshan will give it a try first, thank you." Bai Xi stood up, patted her animal skin skirt, thanked Ling Chengen, and then went to discuss the matter with the other orcs in the tribe.

Chongzhen gestured with her lip toward his departing figure, looking displeased, and said, "You'll suffer for doing this. Don't be such a pushover."

Ling Chengen raised an eyebrow and said, "He can't open it. If he really finds a way, then we'll accept the loss."

She didn't think there was only one space created by an earth-based ability on this beast plain.

Chongzhen snorted, "Didn't you say before that this was Su Weihua's mother's keepsake? Now you're making this decision again. Be careful Su Weihua finds out, she'll cause you trouble."

Ling Chengen suddenly reached out and pinched his cheek as he leaned closer, narrowing his eyes slightly as he said, "Have you forgotten that his future is still in my hands? Even if I use this space as a gamble, what can he do?"

"Does he really think I'd give this to him?"

Looking into her cunning eyes, Chongzhen suddenly leaned forward and bumped her forehead, startling Ling Chengen so much that she pulled back and released her hand in time.

"You're pinching too hard! My face is so delicate and I'm counting on it to make a good future. Don't ruin it."

Chongzhen raised her hand and touched her face twice, looking rather self-pitying.

Seeing this, Ling Chengen was in a bad mood. When he saw him bump into him, he almost thought he was trying to steal a kiss.

However, seeing his smug look, she gritted her teeth in anger.

Wu Zhuo's judgment of people is really quite accurate.

This fox is truly outspoken and reckless.

“You are the wife of Su Weihua and me, so of course it’s up to you who owns the things in the house.” Chongzhen knew when to stop, so she stopped showing her slight smugness and said obediently, “But wife, sometimes you really are… bad and domineering, um, and a little hypocritical.”

Ling Chengen: "None of your business!"

Chongzhen stretched out her left hand towards her. Ling Chengen was puzzled. He pointed his fingertip at the animal skin bag at her waist: "Dried meat, I'm hungry."

Ling Chengen said with a blank face, "That's all. Go cook for yourself."

Chongzhen clutched her stomach and said, "No, I just got back from being soaked in the rain. Can't you be nicer to me?"

“Hui Dongling has been doing this for a long time. His cooking talent is much better than yours, and he can even create his own dishes.”

Upon hearing her say this, Chongzhen immediately stopped pretending to be weak and said unhappily, "Yes, he did well."

"What, are you going to marry him too?"

Ling Chengen was too lazy to argue with him, so he just raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the waist: "He has a partner. If you dare to talk such nonsense again, I will pluck all the fur off your fox tail."

Chongzhen immediately stopped being angry with her. She touched her lower back, which was a little sore from being hit, and said somewhat unconvinced, "You just bully me!"

Ling Chengen pretended to hit him, but Chongzhen quickly grabbed her wrist: "I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore."

"You're the best in the world, is that alright?"

Chang Tianchen sat atop the pile of supplies, his eyes slightly lowered as he quietly watched the two people arguing softly at the cave entrance. His long, forked tongue gently touched the roof of his mouth, and fine lines of broken glass slowly crept into his pupils.

It's really an eyesore.

If only we could kill that fox quietly.

Chang Tianchen tapped the pile of dried herbs with his tail, casually picked up a piece of licorice root and put it in his mouth. His sharp teeth pierced the licorice root, and he tasted a faint sweetness from the herbs.

Tonight, it's still three shifts on duty, but this time, people from Hanshan have joined in as well.

Because they were figuring out how to remove Bea's control over the space.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Bai Xi finally had to admit that this space was not something they could obtain.

Ling Chengen swung his toes, sat on the pile of supplies, and looked at the furious Bai Xi with a smile. He said in a light tone, "Sometimes you should learn from Bai Qingyu. He has a very steady personality. Even when faced with this kind of situation, he can still save face for himself with great style."

Bai Xi looked up at her: "Are you being sarcastic?"

Ling Chengen chuckled and said, "If you think so, then there's nothing I can do about it."

Bai Xi: "Okay, you come."

"I'd like to see how you manage to seize control of this space."

Ling Chengen held a small stick in his hand, quickly twirling it between his fingers before pointing it directly at Bai Xi's nose: "Of course I have a way, but do you think I can tell you?"

Chang Tianchen's tail tip unconsciously wrapped around her ankle. He propped his head up with one hand, quietly watching her and Bai Xi argue. He chuckled and said, "You'd better hurry up! It's getting late. If nothing unexpected happens... tonight will be a good time to launch a sneak attack."

Bai Xi stood up angrily and said, "I'm going to rest."

Ling Chengen looked at the back of Bai Xi's head and sighed, "She's really easy to tease."

Chang Tianchen's eyes shifted slightly: "You have feelings for him?"

"I have no interest in anyone." Ling Chengen bent down and brushed the snake tail off his ankle, saying unhappily, "So, stop bothering me."

"You're the kind of person who's shameless!"
