Chapter 66: Chapter 65: Worried for Nothing

Ji Liang held Si Shuo’s hand and nodded with a smile. “Master Xu, I’ve considered everything you’ve said.

If the Central Continent were such an easy place to live, why would so many Beastmen go there? Where there’s difficulty, there are also benefits.

Now that I have my own female, I want to find a suitable place to settle down, and the Central Continent is my first choice.”

Xu Lie’s final words had indeed frightened Si Shuo a little.

If a Beast Husband’s partnership was forcibly dissolved, both his lifespan and Combat Power would be halved. This was a fatal blow; you could say his life as a Beastman would be over!

Her enthusiasm for going to the Central Continent felt as if it had been doused by a bucket of cold water.

The more time she spent with them, the less Si Shuo could bear the thought of them being hurt in the slightest.

But Ji Liang’s words allowed her to see a glimmer of light on the long road ahead.

She had never been one to resign herself to fate. When she was born, doctors said she wouldn’t live past six, but she had stubbornly pushed on to the age of twenty-four.

The Central Continent could provide her with a better platform to use her abilities. The Beastmen there had the time, energy, and capacity to accept new things. Then, the Traveling Merchant Teams that went back and forth from the Central Continent could slowly spread these influences to other parts of the Beast World Continent.

She also smiled and said with determination, “Master Xu, if we didn’t even have the courage and resolve to go to the Central Continent and face all of this, we wouldn’t have sought you out.

Strength determines everything there, and I believe my Beast Husbands are all good males who face difficulties head-on, are unafraid of hardship, and refuse to be mediocre!

I will also do my best not to hold them back.”

Gong You raised an eyebrow. “There’s no one in all of Nanye City who can put up a decent fight. I’d like to see what the experts in the Central Continent are like.”

Xu Chi also spoke up. “The Beastmen in the Central Continent are generally stronger, and there must be a reason for it. I’ve traveled to many places over the years, and I want to see the Central Continent for myself.”

Xu Lie was left speechless. It was true that these males had powerful auras. Even in the Central Continent, they wouldn’t be easily bullied. ’I misjudged them!

Besides, Ji Liang never makes a losing deal…’

Xu Lie smiled and nodded. “Alright, I was worrying for nothing. Since you all have a plan, I won’t say any more.

Our Dongzhou Merchant Team has already been stopped here reorganizing for seven or eight days. Many Beastmen have signed up to follow us, including quite a few Female Saints.

We’ll be traveling with stops along the way, so it will take at least four or five Beast Months to get there. Once we arrive, everyone will still need to prepare for the long rainy season and the coldest season. Therefore, we can’t afford to waste a single day. We plan to set out in three days.

Use these next two days to gather as much food as you can. For the four or five days before we reach the next workshop, we won’t have any time for hunting besides eating and sleeping!”

Ji Liang was very familiar with all of this. Having gotten the confirmation, he didn’t delay. After bidding farewell to Xu Lie, he put his arm around Si Shuo and left.

Although they had been preparing to go to the Central Continent for a while, there were still many things to take care of.

Ji Liang turned his head and said in a low voice to Gong You and Xu Chi, “First, let’s transfer ownership of the ring toss stall. We’ll divide it among those twenty factions.

Everyone has seen how popular our stall has been these past few days. We should be able to get a good price for it.”

Gong You nodded. “We can charge for two years’ worth of earnings from the spring and summer seasons, which is about…”

Ji Liang chuckled. While Si Shuo was secretly punching numbers into the calculator she had bought, he already had the answer. “Nine Beast Months per year, thirty days per Beast Month, at seven hundred Level 4 Crystal Stones per day. The total over two years is three hundred seventy-eight thousand. We’ll have them round it, though. Each faction will pay twenty thousand Level 4 Crystal Stones to take over the stall.”

Si Shuo raised her hand. “We can also sell them the recipes for making fries, chips, popcorn, and tanghulu, as well as the farming techniques for potatoes, corn, and sugarcane.

Fifty Level 10 Crystal Stones from each faction, and we’ll guarantee they learn how. A good deal, right?”

Ji Liang pinched her cheek. “Right. The factions will be fighting over a recipe that can generate Crystal Stones. They’ve probably had their Crystal Stones ready for a while now, just waiting for us to make an offer.”

“I’ll handle it,” Gong You said in a deep voice. “Then I’ll go stock up on more seafood for our little one. The Central Continent has a sea too, but different seas produce different kinds of seafood.”

“I’ll go gather some fruit,” Xu Chi said, also taking on a task. “We’re a long way from the Central Continent, and who knows when we’ll be back. Since we have the space, we might as well stock up.”

Ji Liang nodded. “Alright. I’ll take Little Shushu for a walk around the workshop and see if there’s anything else she wants to buy.”

Si Shuo’s space already contained plenty of jewelry and various Beast Skins, and her supermarket could supplement anything she was missing. She linked her arm with his and said, “Ji Liang, can you take me for a walk in the forest? I want to collect some special flowers and plants. They might come in handy at a critical moment!”

Previously, the males had been busy increasing their Combat Power and stabilizing their levels, so she had only gathered fruit with Gong You at the edge of the forest and hadn’t found any plants that caught her interest.

Now that they had a Teleportation Ability, escaping from danger wouldn’t be a problem.

Ji Liang smiled and agreed. “Okay. We can tell Zhi Le while we’re at it. When I was in the forest before, I saw several plants that could be used for support. You should collect a lot of their seeds.

After you take another Beast Husband, the extra plot of land that appears in the planting area will be perfect for growing these plants. The seeds they produce can be used for your self-defense.”

Si Shuo hummed in agreement. Back at home, she first wrote down the methods and instructions for planting and food preparation, all in Pinyin, and placed the notes in the compartment of her space that she shared with Gong You.

By now, her Beast Husbands had completely mastered Pinyin. If anything came up, they had also learned to use a pen and paper to pass messages.

After finishing these tasks, she had a guard leave a message for Yimei, then teleported with Ji Liang to Zhi Le’s side.

Having not seen his little female for over a day, Zhi Le was startled when she suddenly appeared before him, and the cold look in his eyes instantly melted.

He smelled strongly of blood, sweat, and dust, so he could only stand beside her with restraint and ask in a low voice, “Why are you here, kitty?”

Si Shuo smiled, pulled him by the hand to sit down nearby, and handed him a sweet melon. She quietly told him about their departure in three days and everyone’s plans.

Zhi Le had now stabilized his Level 8 realm, but he was very strict with himself. Relying on the tolerance of his Couple Brothers, he spent all his time fighting in the forest, except when he was accompanying Si Shuo.

“I’ll go take a bath and help you look for plants,” he said. He had reunited with Si Shuo at the gates of Nanye City, so he hadn’t experienced the danger of being surrounded by the pack of large-tailed gray wolves.

’The little female has a superpower; it’s always good for her to have more ways to protect herself!’

The weather here was hot and humid, allowing many strange flowers, plants, and trees to grow. And each had its own abilities to survive.

Before the males had entered the forest to hunt, they had already asked people in Nanye City about various precautions. Coupled with the half a month or so they had spent training inside, they had a strong impression of several types of plants!
