Jade Sea Plains.
“Shaorong, I heard that Yi Fan has sent a letter?” Zhuang Hao asked randomly.
Qi Shaorong nodded, “Yes! A-Fan said that Qi Shaofu and Chen Yuan will arrive soon.”
“Qi Shaofu and Chen Yuan?” Zhuang Hao asked in confusion.
Qi Shaorong nodded, and said, “The Qi family wanted to plant people into Allure Cosmetics, so Yi Fan simply sent them to my side.”
Qi Shaorong rubbed his fingers, after laying down for a while, the Qi family finally couldn’t help but make a move.
The Qi family’s placement in the Allure Cosmetics this time should just be a test. If this group of people enters smoothly, there would be a steady stream of Qi family members coming in. After all, Yi Fan is an outsider, probably out of fear that it will be awkward in the future, so Yi Fan directly sent the people to him.
Whatever, he’s also from the Qi family, so he still has to give the Qi family a little face.
“Shaofu, he’s actually a nice guy, now we’re also short of manpower. Since he’s here, you can be lazy.” Zhuang Hao said.
Qi Shaorong smiled coldly, and said, “If he dares to come, then I dare to give him all the dirty work!”
Zhuang Hao: “……”
“What is Chen Yuan doing here?” Zhuang Hao asked with some doubts.
“A-Fan doesn’t seem to know as well. It should be that the emperor sent him here.” Qi Shaorong’s face darkened slightly, and said, “I’m afraid there is nothing good for him to come.”
As Qi Shaorong and Zhuang Hao talked, a guard of the mansion walked towards Zhuang Hao, and said, “Master, a letter from the Imperial Capital.”
The guards of the City Lord’s Mansion were originally from the Zhuang family, and they didn’t avoid Qi Shaorong when they received the news from the Zhuang family.
Zhuang Hao took the letter and looked at it, his brows knitted together.
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao’s face and asked, “What did the letter say?”
“You guessed right, Chen Yuan came here to convey his majesty’s decree, and his majesty needs you to provide mithril sea sand.”
Qi Shaorong squinted his eyes and thought to himself: In terms of the level of well-informed information, after all, the veteran forces like the Zhuang family are more powerful.
“The emperor wants to gain without investing again.”
When he rescued Feng Yuan, although he did not act according to the requirements of the emperor, Feng Yuan provided a lot of military equipment at a low price for his sake. In the end, the emperor “rewarded” him by sending him to this place where birds don’t lay eggs. If he provides mithril sea sand this time, what will the emperor reward him with?
“What is mithril sea sand?” Qi Shaorong asked.
“It is a special resource that only exists in the deep sea. As far as I know, it should be within the territory of the Jellyfish Clan.” Zhuang Hao paused, and then said, “The Jellyfish Clan is a very special clan in the sea. This clan’s people are very mysterious, they can blur their bodies, they are highly poisonous, and they are good at assassination.”
Qi Shaorong said displeased, “The emperor doesn’t think of me when there are good things, but he can think of me when he doesn’t have anything good. See how I assassinated Chen Yuan on the way, and pretend that I didn’t get the order. The Imperial Capital is thousands of li away, so it is normal for something to happen.”
Zhuang Hao smiled and said: ” Chen Yuan is dead, the next messenger will soon arrive.”
Qi Shaorong: “……”

Qi Shaorong stroked his chin and thought to himself: When he first came, the common people of the Sea Tribes didn’t think highly of him, and he doesn’t know if those guys have changed their opinion of him after such a long time.
“Alright! The two of us will just pass by like this, and those guys will think that we are dupes.”
“I’m the city lord! Will those guys dare to cheat the city lord?” Qi Shaorong retorted.
Zhuang Hao nodded, and said, “The city lord has enough oil and water! Some guys are just staring at the city lord’s pit.”
Qi Shaorong: “……” This bastard Zhuang Hao.
Qi Shaorong and Zhuang Hao changed their outfits and walked on the streets of the bazaar.
Zhuang Hao held Qi Shaorong’s hand with a happy smile on his face.
“Let go! Don’t hold my hand.” Qi Shaorong said impatiently.
“There are too many people today, if I don’t hold you, we’ll get separated.” Zhuang Hao insisted.
With a dark face, Qi Shaorong thought: Zhuang Hao, do you think he’s a child? Qi Shaorong struggled, but he didn’t break free, so he simply let Zhuang Hao have his way.
……
“I heard that the city lord turned Senior Hei Sha into a handsome guy again.”
“En. I heard that he turned Senior Hai Lan into a beauty.”
“It seems that the city lord never came out.”
“He’s probably scared of death, so he always hides in the City Lord Mansion.”
“So many city lords dies before him. It’s understandable if this city lord is more afraid of death.”
“……”
Qi Shaorong frowned, thinking: Jade Sea Plains’ folk customs are too disappointing. These bastards only know how to criticize the lord.
Qi Shaorong walked along the street, constantly looking left and right, “It’s all cheap goods.”
Qi Shaorong has already been at Jade Sea Plains for quite a while now and saw many good things from the Sea Tribes, so naturally his view is different from when he first came here.
Zhuang Hao suddenly sensed something and stopped in his tracks.
“There!” Zhuang Hao walked towards a booth.
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao’s expression, thinking: Is it possible to pick up leaks in this kind of place? Qi Shaorong suppressed the joy on his face, and walked towards the booth calmly.
Before Zhuang Hao walked to the booth, he casually asked the prices of a few items.
“How much is this?”
“One hundred gold coins.”
“What about this?”
“Fifty gold coins.”
“What about this?”
“Eighty!”
……
Qi Shaorong looked at the cultivator in front of the booth and frowned. The cultivator was wearing a black robe. Qi Shaorong couldn’t tell whether it was a human or an aquarian, but Qi Shaorong can vaguely feel a strange aura from that person.
“What about this?” Zhuang Hao asked around, and finally asked the price of what he really wanted.
The cultivator in front of the booth frowned, raised his head, and said solemnly, “Thirty million gold coins.”
Qi Shaorong was startled, and asked, “Thirty million gold coins?! Fellow cultivator, are you kidding me?”
The cultivator in front of the booth frowned and said, “If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it.”
Qi Shaorong: “……” This guy is really arrogant. He sells things and has such a bad temper. Do you still want to do business?
“Senior, I’m sorry.” Zhuang Hao said with a smile.
The black-robed cultivator glanced at Zhuang Hao, and said coldly, “Thirty million is the price, so there is no need to talk about counter-offering. If you can’t afford this price, please leave!”
Qi Shaorong took a deep breath and asked, “Senior, what is the use of this thing?”
The black-robed cultivator crossed his arms and snorted softly, “I don’t know what this thing is for.”
Qi Shaorong suddenly had the urge to vomit blood. He didn’t know what the purpose of this thing was, but he dared to sell it for such an expensive price.
“You don’t know what it is and yet you just take it out to sell it.” Qi Shaorong said.
The black-robed cultivator snorted softly and said, “If I knew what this thing is for, I wouldn’t have sold it at all!”
Zhuang Hao frowned, Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao’s expression. He restrained his curses, took out three cards, and said: “Here are three cards, each of which contains 10 million gold coins!”
The black-robed cultivator fumbled the stone that was covered half with sand for a while. He looked at Qi Shaorong with some reluctance, and said, “Brat, you’ve earned a lot.”
Qi Shaorong: “……”
Seeing Qi Shaorong take out the money card, Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong with surprise.
The black-robed cultivator looked at the colored stone and handed it to Qi Shaorong, and Qi Shaorong gave it to Zhuang Hao casually.
Zhuang Hao took the colored stone, and felt his heart beating extremely fast. The colored stone was cold when he held it, but his heart was extremely warm.
Zhuang Hao had the feeling that he had eaten soft rice. Although he was a little embarrassed, he also felt that the soft rice was really delicious.
On the way back, Zhuang Hao kept looking at Qi Shaorong.
Qi Shaorong glanced at Zhuang Hao and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Zhuang Hao tilted his head, smiled, and said, “Others say that the more you’re willing to spend money on them, the more you like them. Shaorong, you must like me very much! So, you weren’t soft when you spent a lot of money on me.”
Qi Shaorong rolled his eyes and said, “You think too much. The money is not gifted to you, so the money is calculated with interest, 30% interest per month. You tighten your skin a little bit, remember to pay back the money……”
Zhuang Hao said nonchalantly, “What if I can’t pay it back? How about I compensate with my body!”
Qi Shaorong: “……” Compensate your body, your sister!
“Young Master Zhuang, you are from the Zhuang family, so every word and deed represents the face of the Zhuang family.” Qi Shaorong said angrily.
Zhuang Hao smiled nonchalantly, and said, “What’s the matter? Anyway, you said long ago that the Zhuang family’s face has been completely lost by me.”
Qi Shaorong: “……” So, is Zhuang Hao planning to abandon himself? How could the Zhuang family produce such unworthy descendants!
Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “Young Master, what you did for me really touched me.”
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and said, “Okay, don’t think too much.”
With his hands behind his back, Zhuang Hao approached Qi Shaorong with a smile on his face, and said, “You spend a lot of money for me, and you want me not to think too much, it’s really a difficult position for me.”
Qi Shaorong: “……” Why didn’t he see that Zhuang Hao was a smooth-talker before?
“Let’s not talk about this, what is that thing just now?” Qi Shaorong asked.
Zhuang Hao shook his head and said, “I don’t know either.”
Qi Shaorong: “……” Don’t know?! What the hell did he buy then?!
Zhuang Hao frowned and said, “Although I don’t know what this thing is, I felt attracted to the aura emitted by the sand covered rock.”
Qi Shaorong’s eyes widened, “So, it has seven elements!” Ordinary humans don’t have so many attributes, and the sea race is the same.
Zhuang Hao nodded, and said, “Yes, I suspect that it is a crystal nucleus left by a seven elemented sea beast.”
“How sure are you?” Qi Shaorong asked.
Zhuang Hao shook his head and answered, “20%!”
Qi Shaorong: “……” What the hell! Only 20%, and that broken stone cost 30 million! Most of his income during this period was exchanged for such a broken stone.
Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “For the specific situation, let’s go back and see.”
Qi Shaorong nodded and said, “Okay.”
