Traveling to ancient times, with space

Su Yue was so angry she almost laughed. Why should she help them for free? If it weren't for the merit points needed to upgrade her space, what would it matter to her if everyone in the dynasty starved to death?

It's not like she caused the drought or the floods, yet she's now being labeled a profiteer.

If anyone is to blame, it is the emperor of this dynasty and his descendants. Their court did nothing. If it weren't for the corruption of the court and the incompetence of those in power, there would have been far more displaced people than just those who left their homes.

Su Yue actually laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha~ You're really something, do you think gods are just going to be taken advantage of by you guys?"

Ma Yan was speechless after Su Yue's words, his face turning red and then pale.

Even Wang Degui, upon hearing this, felt that the young man was incredibly tactless. He regretted bringing him along to bother the little deity. "How can you talk like that? It's a favor if the little deity is willing to help us, and it's their right not to. How can you morally blackmail us like this..."

Then, Zhang Feng stepped forward and bowed to Su Yue, saying, "Young lady, we were rude. I apologize on his behalf. But there are many disaster victims right now, so we hope you can show some kindness and help our Jichang County."

“Our little fairy didn’t say she wouldn’t help; she even told you to bring something in exchange.”

Why can't you understand human language? Go, go, leave now! I've never seen anyone so ungrateful.

"Look at us refugees, we all know to exchange goods for food if we have them, and to work if we don't. But you two, you don't want to go out at all." Wang Degui was so angry that he wanted to beat the two men up.

He still remembered the last person who tried to get something for free, which caused them to be implicated, and the little deity almost stopped exchanging food for them.

Zhang Feng and Ma Yan were still pushed and shoved out by Wang Degui. When they reached the door, they didn't forget to bow to Su Yue and then close the door behind them.

Su Yue continued reading the book in her hands.

Shen Lerong also pulled up a beanbag chair and sat down next to Su Yue.

"Don't take those two seriously. There's no shortage of food everywhere these days. If everyone came asking for food and you gave it to them, people would call us suckers. I think it's only right to exchange goods for food."

“She’s right,” Dali agreed.

Shen Lerong rarely heard Dali praise her so much. "However, I think there will probably be more people coming later."

Su Yue put down the book in her hand. "Yeah, I know. Let them do whatever they want. Anyway, it's impossible to get something for nothing."

Some people are like that. When you give something to them for free, they think you have ulterior motives. When you stop giving it to them for free, they think you are malicious. No matter what, they are always right.

This space of mine is truly magical; anything Su Yue sends out will be returned as merit.

Therefore, she wasn't worried about not earning enough merit points to level up. Besides, there was no rule that one had to help the dynasty to earn merit points.

Anyway, this dynasty has already been ravaged and riddled with holes. If all else fails, we can leave when the weather gets warmer and take Dali to see other dynasties.

The snow outside was up to ankle-deep in less than an hour.

Su Yue suggested going out for a snowball fight, and then Chun Tao wrapped her up like a fluffy ball, with a rabbit fur hat on her head.

As soon as they went outside, Su Yue, Dali, Shen Lerong, and Chun Tao went wild with fun. Even the four wolves followed Su Yue and ran around happily in the snow.

Su Yue was very strong, and Shen Lerong and Chun Tao were hit and kept screaming.

He didn't even have the strength to fight back, and ran wildly in the yard.

Dali kept helping Su Yue make snowballs, while Su Yue kept throwing snowballs at the two people and the four wolves.

The courtyard was filled with laughter.

A few days later, just as Shen Lerong had predicted, several more people came to borrow grain.

To put it nicely, it's about borrowing grain.

"We are the Third Prince's men, hand over the grain now!" one of them said arrogantly.

Su Yue felt helpless; how could these people be so shameless?

After having Shen Lerong send the visitors away, she calmly addressed the people outside, saying, "I only exchange, I don't sell. If you want grain, you'll have to trade it for something else."

"You're refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" the man threatened.

Shen Lerong sneered, "Then do whatever you want. Don't think you can just take it for free just because he's a prince."

Su Yue didn't react at first, but after thinking for a while, she remembered that the Third Prince was that idiot.

“Go back and tell your master that if he wants grain, he should bring 50,000 taels of silver in exchange. Maybe I’ll be in a good mood and give you more grain.”

Upon hearing that the price was fifty thousand taels of silver, the man standing on the fence exclaimed, "Fifty thousand taels of silver? Why don't you just rob me!"

"Get out of here. We don't want to deal with you. You came here asking for food yourselves, not us. If you don't agree, then leave now." Shen Lerong gave them a rude order to leave.

"Fine, you just wait!" the man said threateningly before slinking away.

Shen Lerong didn't know why Su Yue asked for so much money as soon as she heard that Su Yue was one of the Third Prince's people. She only knew that these people would not give up easily.

Sure enough, a few days later, the Third Prince personally led a group of people to the fence of Su Yue's villa.

"I've heard you have grain here. I urgently need this grain to relieve the disaster victims, and I hope you can lend a helping hand." The Third Prince spoke with an air of superiority.

"So it's the Third Prince. My apologies. However, I've already made it very clear that the grain here is for exchange only, not for sale," Su Yue said disdainfully, glancing at the people outside the fence.

"I am a prince, how dare you disrespect me?" The Third Prince glared at Su Yue.

"So what if he's a prince? If you want food here, you have to follow the rules," Su Yue said bluntly, arms crossed.

"You, believe it or not, I'll have this place razed to the ground!" This was the first time the Third Prince had encountered someone so stubborn. But after taking a closer look at Su Yue, he thought she really was as beautiful as the rumors said. Except for her young age, he would have granted her the position of a concubine.

Su Yue thought the Third Prince was really out of his mind; all he ever did was resort to crooked and evil schemes. He was a rotten apple spoiling the whole barrel.

"Whatever." Su Yue was genuinely annoyed; it seemed like everyone was trying to take advantage of her for free.

She looks so easy to bully.

Upon hearing Su Yue's words, the Third Prince flew into a rage. However, since the grain had not yet arrived, he suppressed his anger and said gently to Su Yue, "If you are willing to give me 50,000 catties of grain, I will promise you the position of a concubine, how about that?"

The Third Prince thought that if he said that, Su Yue would offer up the food with both hands and obediently agree.

I'm letting her be young, so I won't hold it against her and I'm willing to wait for her for a few years.
