Chapter 315 Wish Maker

The woman was stunned by what she was said. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she, who was already feeling a little guilty, decisively began to throw a tantrum.

"I gave you a chance." After saying that, Qiao Jingjing's face was like ice. Her fingertips rubbed the tattered fabric in the woman's sleeve, and with a flick of her wrist, she pulled out the fabric hidden in the woman's chest. Her sharp, cold gaze swept over everyone.

Dafu nuzzled in his mind: "Master, she still has two wads of cotton stuffed in the hem of her skirt."

Faced with overwhelming evidence, the woman knew she could no longer deny it. She stopped pretending, scrambled to her feet, and pointed a menacing finger at Qiao Jingjing.

She began to hurl insults and profanities: "Hmph, I only took a little bit of all this cotton, so what? And these rags, nobody wanted them anyway, so what if I picked them up? Why do you, you ignorant little slut, have to meddle in my business? This military camp is full of grown men, and you, a delicate little girl, are just meddling here. Who knows what you're up to! Even if I steal, I'm still much more noble than a shameless woman like you!"

"Oh? So you admit it?" Qiao Jingjing suddenly broke into a smile, her slender white fingers brushing over the pile of winter clothes on the table.

"So what if I took it? What can you do to me! If you dare touch me, I'll—" Before she could finish her arrogant words, Qiao Jingjing suddenly raised her hand and, with lightning speed, grabbed the woman's neck tightly.

"So what? Keep talking!" Qiao Jingjing's face was ashen as she stared coldly at the woman, but the strength in her hand did not loosen at all.

"Cough...cough cough...let me go! You bitch!" The woman was being choked so hard she could barely breathe, her face flushed red, her hands flailing futilely in the air, trying to pry Qiao Jingjing's hands off.

Qiao Jingjing remained unmoved, and was even amused by the woman's scolding.

She chuckled lightly, "Hehe, it's been a long time since I've met someone as fearless as you. Ignorance is bliss, I wonder just how ignorant you are. Who's from her village? Step forward and tell me the details."

A commotion arose in the crowd, and after a while, a petite woman who looked somewhat timid stepped forward cautiously.

She lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "Miss... she is indeed from our village. She always likes to take advantage of others, and she is extremely shrewish and fierce. She throws tantrums whenever things don't go her way, and her curses are very offensive. Her husband and mother-in-law have both been beaten by her. However... however, this woman is indeed very good at making clothes."

Qiao Jingjing released her grip, and the woman who had been restrained was granted a pardon and regained her freedom. All her strength was instantly drained, and she collapsed to the ground.

She disregarded her appearance and, like a dying fish, gulped down the surrounding air.

When the woman finally caught her breath, she looked up at Qiao Jingjing with terrified eyes.

Just now, she deeply felt the immense strength from Qiao Jingjing's hands; the other party was fully capable of easily snapping her fragile neck!

Qiao Jingjing bent down again with a blank expression and reached into the woman's skirt to grope.

A moment later, she pulled out a ball of pure white cotton.

Qiao Jingjing held the cotton ball up to the woman's eye level and said coldly, "Taking something without asking is stealing. If you really wanted this cotton, you could have bought it or offered your reward in exchange. But you chose to steal it."

After saying that, Qiao Jingjing gently shook the cotton in her hand and said, "I just gave you a small punishment to teach you a lesson. Considering that you are quite good at making clothes, I will allow you to make up for your crime by working. I will send someone to summon your whole family. You will have to make enough winter clothes for the army free of charge to make up for the losses caused by your theft."

Then, facing the crowd, he repeated: "Anyone who knowingly commits a crime will have their entire family implicated, or even their entire clan and village. Not only will they have to return the stolen goods, but they will also have to perform corresponding labor. I advise you to think carefully before you have any crooked thoughts."

The woman was stunned for a moment, not expecting Qiao Jingjing to handle the situation this way.

The woman gritted her teeth and had no choice but to agree.

Qiao Jingjing looked at everyone and said loudly, "We are in a military camp, and supplies are hard-won. Everyone must abide by the rules. I hope everyone will learn from today's incident and not repeat the same mistake!" Everyone responded in unison.

After finishing her business here, Qiao Jingjing walked out of the tent. She had just counted that a total of 1100 cotton-padded coats had been made, which was still far from the target.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Jingjing returned her consciousness to the space, condensed it into a form, and walked towards Zhuzhu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"My darling, it's been a long time! Hmm, I think you've gotten a bit plumper and your color is a little darker. But let's not talk about that. Your beloved owner has a little something to ask you for help. Can you help?"

The bead rotates clockwise three times to indicate agreement.

Qiao Jingjing was overjoyed. "Honey, can you think of a way to make tens of thousands of cotton-padded coats as quickly as possible?"

Zhuzhu spun around more than a dozen times, but nothing changed. Qiao Jingjing was a little disappointed. "It seems that the wishing bead isn't omnipotent. Oh well, little Zhuzhu, I shouldn't have made things difficult for you."

The spirit pearl continued to spin, and Qiao Jingjing prepared to return her consciousness to her body, when suddenly a huge object blocked her way.

"what is this?"

It looks like a machine, shaped like a vending machine, and is quite large. I don't know what it's for.

Qiao Jingjing walked around for a while before finally spotting the words "Wish Maker" in the bottom right corner of the back.

Seriously, it's just a name, does it really need to be so secretive?

Lingzhu remained silent, and a small booklet fell from the sky, hitting Qiao Jingjing squarely on the head.

Fortunately, it was divine sense, so it didn't hurt much when it hit me.

Qiao Jingjing picked it up and carefully read the cover: "Manufacturing Machine Instruction Manual"

Goodness, this is to prove that you're not a useless bead, how thoughtful! But the way you gave me the instruction manual looks a bit like you're carrying a bit of emotion, little bead!

Spirit Pearl: !

No! They've vanished, they've vanished!
