Xue Ling wanted the interspatial ring.
Huanhuanâs attitude was firm. âI canât give you a ring. Give up.â
âIf youâre unwilling to give me the ring, I wonât be able to help you.â
âForget it. Weâd better think of something ourselves.â
Huanhuan took Bai Diâs hand and turned to leave. She had no intention of staying.
Xue Lingâs voice came from behind. âAre you really not going to consider it? Itâs just a ring. I donât mind being bound for life. Why should you mind?!â
Huanhuan stopped and turned to look at him. âI donât like you. Why would I tie you to me? Even if I make you into roasted chicken, your meat will probably be too old and tough to chew.â
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows. âHow dare you think Iâm old?!â
Huanhuan complained weakly, âShouldnât you be more concerned about being made into roasted chicken?â
Although he was angry, Xue Ling couldnât help but tease her.
âIf you roast me yourself, Iâd be happy to strip naked and deliver myself to your door.â
Huanhuan: ââ¦â
This bird man was hopeless!
......
She said to Bai Di, âLetâs go. Ignore this shameless guy!â
âOkay.â
Bai Di picked her up and quickly disappeared into the forest.
Xue Ling took out a palm-sized red crystal and looked at his reflection in the crystal.
His skin was still supple, and his blonde hair was bright.
He wasnât old at all!
When she returned to the palace, Huanhuan hugged a pillow and punched it hard. She complained angrily, âBastard birdman! I asked him for a favor and he dared make such an outrageous request. He doesnât know how friendships work at all!â
Bai Di said, âIt doesnât matter if he doesnât help. Weâll try to keep a low profile when weâre with the bamboo bear. As long as we donât alarm the people from the temple, we should be fine.â
Huanhuan nodded, but she was still angry when she thought about it.
âLetâs never talk to that bastard bird again! Let him play in the mud alone!â
Bai Di felt that she looked like a child when she was angry. He couldnât help but chuckle, his eyes filled with affection. âOkay, weâll ignore him from now on.â
Huanhuan stretched out her arms and whined angrily, âI want a hug.â
Bai Di picked her up and kissed her cheek. âDonât be angry anymore.â
She nuzzled his chin. âYouâre the best.â
âItâs getting late. Go to sleep.â
âYes, weâll sleep together.â
â¦
Huanhuan took out fruits and bamboo shoots from her interspatial ring but accidentally took out a stone slab as well.
There were words on the slab.
The handwriting was awkward and tender. At a glance, she could tell that it was Shuang Yunâs handwriting.
There were three simple lines written on itâ
[Huanhuan, are you safely in Sun City? Please send us a message when you arrive. We miss you.]
Huanhuan was very surprised. âWhy is there a letter written by Shuang Yun in the space?â
Bai Di took the slab and looked at it. âThe four of us are wearing rings,â he analyzed logically. âThe space in the rings can be shared. This means that we can get what Shuang Yun and Sang Ye put in the space.â
Realization dawned on her.
She did not expect an interspatial ring to replace long-distance calls in this world!
She was very surprised by this. She wiped the handwriting off the slab and wrote two new lines.
[Iâve arrived at Sun City safely. Iâll go back after Iâm done, donât worry.]
Huanhuan placed the stone slab back into the space.
There were a lot more fruits and vegetables in the space. Clearly, Shuang Yun and Sang Ye had put all the new vegetables and fruits into the space.
Huanhuan took out a portion of vegetables and fruits and packed them with Bai Di. There were exactly a hundred bags.
Bai Di called the guards over and asked them to carry these vegetables and fruits to the house of the bamboo bear family.
In order not to attract attention, Bai Di specially asked them to leave the palace when there were fewer people around. He also circled the city a few times to make sure that no one was following them before secretly putting the vegetables and fruits for sale in the chamber of commerce.
Ni Mei had heard from Bai Di and had been guarding the chamber of commerceâs shop.
As soon as she saw that the vegetables had been delivered, she immediately paid for them. Then, she got someone to carry them home and opened all the bags to check.
Each bag was filled with very fresh and delicious produce. Ni Mei was very satisfied.
Especially those tender bamboo shoots. They were so delicious that she couldnât stop eating them!
The guards returned to the palace and handed Bai Di the crystals they had earned.
There were a total of five red crystals.
This price was many times higher than what Huanhuanâs family had sold their produce for on the rock mountain.
Of course, they had to take a lot more risks too. In addition, they had to take into account the cost of crossing the mountains. This price was actually not particularly ridiculous.
Huanhuan happily put the red crystals into her space. âI didnât expect to be able to earn so much just by heading out. Weâre so lucky!â
Unfortunately, most of the beasts living in Sun City were carnivorous and not very interested in vegetables and fruits.
Only the bamboo bear family was an exception. They ate both meat and fruits. They especially liked bamboo shoots.
Currently, the only customer who could trade with Huanhuan was the bamboo bear family.
Bai Di had an idea as he sewed. âThe females in the city like to eat vegetables and fruits. We can sell some to the chamber of commerce later. I believe thereâll be females coming to buy them.â
Huanhuan was very curious about the chamber of commerce.
âIs the chamber of commerce in the city controlled by nobles?â
âNo, the chamber of commerce is headquartered in the City of 10,000 Beasts. This chamber of commerce in Sun City is just a branch. Their annual income is considerable. The nobles are very envious of the chamber. Unfortunately, the backing of the chamber of commerce is very strong. The nobles donât dare interfere.â Bai Di gestured at her with the sewn clothes. âThey seem a little small. Have you gained weight?â
Huanhuan was instantly unhappy.
She put her hands on her hips angrily and declared loudly, âIâm not fat! It must be your imagination!â
No girl would tolerate others calling her fat, not even her own beloved husband!
Bai Di pinched her chubby cheeks. âOkay, youâre not fat. Youâre just fluffy.â
Huanhuan: ââ¦â
The air of romance diminished just like that!
Bai Di worked on the shirt heâd just sewn once more, planning to make it bigger so that Huanhuan could wear it more comfortably.
They had stew for dinner.
The meat was stewed until it was soft and tender. It was fragrant and melted in oneâs mouth.
Huanhuan took two small bites and stopped.
Bai Di asked her why she stopped eating.
Huanhuan frowned and said aggrievedly, âIâm fat. I have to lose weight. I canât eat too much meat.â
Bai Di said, âHow are you fat? Youâre very thin. Youâre not allowed to lose weight. Eat more!â
Huanhuan pointed at his nose and complained, âYou complained that I was fat during the day!â
Bai Di quickly explained, âI donât dislike you. I like you the way you are. Youâre so fat and cute!â
âGo away! A guy with an eight-pack will never understand the sorrows of a fatty!â
