Chapter 443: Chapter 313: Four-Way Melee (14)
Zhao Chi confirmed it.
Su Qin dropped the pleasantries.
Her earlier refusal had just been a matter of politeness and good upbringing; in reality, she desperately wanted the gift.
After all, only Zhao Chi had cosmetic gear with such Attributes. She’d have to be crazy not to want it.
Since Zhao Chi was giving it to her sincerely, she happily accepted.
"This is great! Now I’ll have a spare set to change into."
"How much Durability does the last set have left?"
"It still has a lot, but I’m afraid to wash it. The Silk Stockings are so thin, I’m scared I’ll ruin them. They’re starting to smell a little now."
Su Qin was embarrassed, but she was still being honest with Zhao Chi.
Zhao Chi wasn’t sure what to say. "You can wash it. It has a lot of Durability, after all..."
Su Qin chuckled. "Hehe, I’m still a little scared of washing away the Durability. Okay, since you don’t think it’s too expensive, I’ll go buy those things for you right away. You can wait in my room."
"It’s fine, I can just wait for you here."
"Okay, I’ll be back as soon as I can."
With that, she vanished.
He had been to Su Qin’s territory once before.
A few days ago, when she was fighting Zhou Hua and the others from the Celestial King Army, Su Qin had called for help, and Zhao Chi had come here to rescue her.
Their relationship had grown much closer after that.
But it was mostly Su Qin taking the initiative.
’In reality, it was just a routine rescue. It’s a common occurrence between relatives or allied forces. But Su Qin’s gratitude seemed to go beyond the norm. As a woman alone in a world like this, she probably felt very insecure, right? Then she happened to run into me. Plus, since I’m also from the Zhao Family, she must feel a natural sense of closeness. Even though she’s an affiliated Lord of the Zhao Family, she already sees the Zhao Family as her own home.’
Su Qin’s main Race was Elf, but now she also had some Beastmen and Humans.
In a nearby training ground, Beastmen were sparring with Human Soldiers.
’Where are those Female Elves? They’re probably off practicing archery somewhere. Or maybe they’re just resting.’
Villagers passed by him continuously.
A lot of Supplies were being moved around, most likely loot that had just been captured.
Two Female Elves came over with smiles, carrying tea and fruit, and placed them on a nearby wooden table.
After Zhao Chi thanked them, they waved and left.
Su Qin hadn’t assigned anyone to watch Zhao Chi.
She seemed to trust him completely.
Zhao Chi didn’t wander around, either. After all, this was Su Qin’s territory, and as a guest, he felt he should observe some etiquette.
Before long, Su Qin’s figure flickered and reappeared beside him.
"I bought them! Here you go."
Su Qin initiated a Trade.
[You have obtained the following items]:
Gold Coins x15
Rejuvenation Spring Expansion Book x1
Rejuvenation Spring Super-Improved Book x1
"Hmm? Why are there 15 Gold Coins?"
Zhao Chi asked, surprised.
Su Qin said proudly, "Hehe, I haggled the price down! He was selling them for so much, of course I had to bargain a little. I can’t believe it worked!"
"Not bad, not bad," Zhao Chi laughed.
Gold Coins was a decent amount.
"Are you in a hurry to leave? If not, why don’t you stay for lunch?"
Zhao Chi waved his hand. "I can’t. There’s too much to do back in my territory. I just stepped out for a moment."
"Oh, I see... Alright then, maybe next time."
"Okay."
Zhao Chi was about to leave.
But he suddenly asked, "What Race were your opponents this time?"
Su Qin paused for a moment. "Um... Goblins. The one that came as reinforcement was from the Human Race."
"Do you have any need for the Beast Race?"
"The Beast Race? Do you have captives to sell?"
"I do. There’s 1 Beastman Hero, 4 Tier Three Beastman Berserkers, 150 Tier Two Beastman Warriors, and various Beastman Craftsmen and such."
"That many? How many people did you capture in total?"
"Around 500 or so."
"Huh? But don’t you only have 100 Female Soldiers? How could you... Oh, I won’t ask. Just pretend I never asked. No wonder you were fighting for so long; your opponent must have been very strong."
Zhao Chi didn’t explain.
He couldn’t explain.
The battle against Huang Bian’s several hundred Beastmen couldn’t really be called a proper war.
An enlarged Qi Yue had ended the fight with a single Moon Blade Slash.
Even though Su Qin trusted Zhao Chi a lot now, she probably wouldn’t believe him if he told her that.
Zhao Chi said, "I can send you a list. See if there’s anything you need."
"Okay, sure!"
Su Qin began to look through it seriously.
"Hmm... Wow! What’s the price for the Beastman Hero and the Tier Three Beastman? I also want these 150 Tier Two Beastman Warriors. And how come there are a few Middle Level Craftsmen? You don’t want them?"
"Make me an offer."
"How can you ask me to make an offer? That’s so difficult."
"It’s fine."
"Hmm... We’re talking about selling captives, and post-battle captives at that. They’re usually cheaper, so I’m not going to offer a high price."
"I already said I’d sell them to you cheap. It’s fine, just name your price."
"Okay!"
Su Qin asked for a total of 200 Beastmen and offered 200 Gold Coins, with the trade to take place after all the fighting was over.
Zhao Chi agreed.
He also offered the female slaves to Su Qin as a gift.
They were all quite weak right now and wouldn’t sell for much money anyway.
Su Qin was stunned. "Give them to me? You’re giving them all to me?"
Zhao Chi told her about their situation.
Su Qin nodded. "Yes, I understand. I have more than ten women in my territory who were in a similar situation, but they’re all doing quite well now. Their Mood has recovered, and they’re working hard."
"So, do you want them or not?"
"Yes! Of course, I want them! Why would I refuse a free gift? I’m not an idiot. This is all valuable manpower."
"Alright, I’ll have them sent over in a bit. I’m leaving now."
"Okay, thank you."
"Don’t mention it. Bye."
"Bye."
Zhao Chi didn’t teleport to Peach Blossom Village, but went directly to Penglai Village instead.
The female villagers were all in Peach Blossom Village handling transport, and there was no one in the Carefree Spring, so it was the perfect time to perform the Modification.
