Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 283 A Bone Woman Who Sold Her Father to Bury Him (36)

evening,

Cai Fu transformed into its original form, whipping its tail and crying as it rushed back into its master's arms.

Even though it can eat a lot, it can't eat anymore, sob.

To outsiders, Cai Fu's tearful appearance suggests that the negotiations failed to produce a positive outcome.

Even the leader of the Nine Provinces Alliance thought so, and came to comfort the master and servant. Little did they know, they had secretly learned that the other party had accepted their invitation.

However, in order to avoid causing too much controversy, the two do not officially belong to any team.

in fact,

The distribution of people in each team that Cai Fu described was almost identical to the information they had, except that the network of relationships within the teams was more detailed.

E.g,

Cai Wenle's uncle's army was able to subtly suppress Rong Jiao's army.

Ultimately, it all boils down to court infighting, and Rong Jiao's maternal family wasn't powerful enough. He was feared and sent far away to study at He Huai Academy, where he was forbidden from revealing his identity. Outwardly, he was always overshadowed by Cai Wenle.

However, Consort Rongjiao's mother was deeply favored by the old emperor.

Even when they secretly dispatched elite troops to investigate, they entrusted him with command, which shows how much they trusted him.

Furthermore, the group of Hun Tian Masters and demon hunters involves quite a few Jianghu (martial arts world) forces.

all in all,

The Nine Provinces Alliance, which Cai Fu invited, was indeed the one with the least power struggles.

However, according to exclusive information obtained by Xia Youmi and Song Yue from the animals, the divide between humans and demons has reached an irreconcilable point.

Especially for the treasure of Ling Shu.

The demon hunters and the Mountain and Sea Alliance had long ago agreed in their innermost circles that they should take the opportunity to weaken each other's power before the treasure appeared in the world.

This information was overheard by the animals, and it is not only accurate but also corroborated by each other.

The reason is obvious: they are natural enemies.

If either side obtains the treasure, it will disrupt the existing balance of power. Furthermore, wouldn't the treasure's power ultimately benefit the opposing side?

Therefore,

The harmony we see today is all superficial.

As long as Master Hun Tian's faction calculates the exact time when the supreme treasure will appear, a battle will break out immediately.

By then,

They don't differentiate between friendly and unfriendly monster alliances; any monster will be captured. Other human groups, aside from those conserving their strength, will also get involved to some extent.

Xia Youmi and Song Yue hope to act as a hidden pawn, providing assistance at crucial moments, rather than being labeled early on.

after all,

There's no proof that Xia Youmi is a demon cultivator; she could be human.

As for the male and female protagonists, they are no different from other demon hunters. As long as Xia Youmi does not use spiritual power, her true form is currently difficult to detect.

This is something I can say to Cai Wenle and the leader of the Kyushu Alliance.

What she couldn't say was that her relationship with Song Yue wasn't going well, and she might become the villain at any moment. This also gave the Kyushu Alliance some leeway to sever ties with the two of them.

As for Song Yue, let them be bound to their deaths! The leader will not abandon her only subject.

......

On the day of the first snow,

The entire area outside the Wuxiang Mountain region was filled with jubilation and celebration.

It's unclear how Du Cheng managed to do it, but he opened up a convenient trade route that only allowed half-demon caravans from Anle City to enter and exit.

The time and distance have been greatly shortened, and supplies can be replenished almost every two weeks.

Lin He personally led the team and made a fortune.

With temperatures plummeting, we're probably in need of cold-weather gear, fuel, and food, right?

Du Cheng, taking advantage of the emperor's mistake, monopolized the trade in Wuxiang Mountain. He even had the audacity to claim it was for security reasons. But if large-scale hunting were allowed, what would become of the local ecosystem?

Are the braziers and incense burners you brought safe?

What about all those flashy but impractical things we brought in before?

Throwing things on the spot is not allowed! A hefty fine will be imposed if caught!

Then we'll have to honestly do a deal with Lin He and his group. Since you bought my supplies, we'll kindly take them out for you. If you don't want them anymore, we won't ask for any extra fees.

If you still want it, you only need to pay for shipping and storage, and you can return it intact within Anle City.

Therefore, the more valuable the item, the more one has to save face by going to the city lord's mansion to redeem it.

Lin He even openly and honestly conducted the transaction with witnesses from various factions. If anyone disagreed, they would easily lose face beyond the Three Realms.

In this world where reputation alone can sustain you, Du Cheng's wits taught them another lesson.

Once everyone accepted the official buying and selling, they started to change their strategies, such as replenishing supplies for the first snow.

Lin He was meticulous in his work, only taking Hu You with him to the transaction, using elegant language while subtly appealing to people's desires. Many people bought large quantities of supplies, feeling happy that they had gotten a bargain and were the ones who were valued.

Foxes are good at pleasing people, and even those who have harbored resentment for a long time have to admit their superiority.

In most people's eyes.

Xia Youmi and Song Yue remained in their independent camp. They had a good relationship with the animals and were very diligent. They started preparing various kinds of supplies early in the morning, and Song Yue even built a treehouse to store them. In the future, they could give them to the familiar native inhabitants.

Everyone was happy to help.

Therefore,

They would only wait until the large groups had finished their transactions before going to Lin He to see if there were any left.

Given their relationship, Lin He wouldn't mind helping out next time if they needed anything special.

So, when Hu You came this time, even though they both wanted to catch up, they tacitly waited until the very end.

On the treehouse,

Song Yue was engrossed in organizing his things, showing little interest in the commotion below.

"Hehe, Lord Fox!" Xia Youmi was quite happy, rubbing her hands together and giving Fox You a funny bow.

"Hehe, Miss Mi! Long time no see!" Foxy wasn't wearing a hat, his ears were perked up, and his elegant robes gave him an air of nobility and seriousness.

"You've... succeeded?" Xia Youmi was referring to his career dream.

Fox couldn't suppress the smirk at this, so it straightened up and gave an official's bow.

"Thank you for your kind words, Miss Mi! I am the etiquette officer under Captain Lin."

"Wow! You're really amazing."

Under Lin He's command, he was only one step away from becoming the city lord's right-hand man. Not to mention, involving him in these confidential matters would make him akin to a diplomatic spokesperson. Just a few months ago, he was merely a waiter.

However, the fox that is most capable of retaining guests and developing its business in the inn is just missing an opportunity.

"Miss Mi, I've left you some good stuff. The matter I entrusted to Captain Lin has also been taken care of." Hu You presented the bag, which contained truly good things, even better quality than what was sold directly.

in addition,

It also brought news of Little Bean.

"What? She's pregnant!"

“That’s right. I asked the groom and also visited the servants who take care of it, including the hay bearer. It’s estimated that it was pregnant before entering Anle City.” Fox You couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking about the time she visited Little Bean. It was snoring, had become rounder, and sniffed Fox You, feeling both sad and disgusted.

"Then it's been more than five months?" Xia Youmi recalled that she entered Anle City in June.

Unexpectedly!

Little Bean actually played a big game without saying a word.

Wait a minute! Xia Youmi seemed to realize something and angrily shouted at the treehouse, "Song Yue! Get down here!"
