"That is your due."
Marita gazed at him, then softly said, "Lord Cao Xing, would it be convenient for us to speak privately?"
Cao Xing saw her eyes and understood Marita’s intention.
He looked at Blom and the others beside him and said, "Blom, Renice, take these workers to the village entrance and wait for ."
"And take the villagers we bought earlier with you as well."
"We will return to the territory soon."
Blom respectfully said, "As you command, Lord!"
Then he blew on his beard and said loudly, "Goblins, co with !"
"I’ll take you to et our other territory mbers."
The group of goblin laborers looked at Blom in amazent.
"As you wish, strong warrior!"
"Oh! This warrior’s palm is so large, I feel like he could crush my bones with one slap."
"Indeed, indeed... those Bear Goblins in our clan aren’t as strong as this warrior!"
"No, the Bear Goblins are the strongest..."
In the midst of the goblins’ chatter,
Blom, the big guy, led them out of the courtyard.
Even the guards from the Moon God Trading House left the place.
Soon, only Cao Xing and Marita were left in the courtyard.
The lady in front of him said, "Lord Cao Xing, let’s go inside to talk."
"Alright." Cao Xing agreed without hesitation.
Soon, they returned to the room.
Marita gracefully lifted a teapot and poured tea for Cao Xing.
Then the two sat down.
Marita maintained her proper posture and directly said, "Lord Cao Xing, I heard you caught the legendary Jade Perch this ti?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, a hint of joy erged in Marita’s mature eyes.
She spoke bluntly again, "I wonder if Lord Cao Xing could sell one to the Moon God Trading House?"
Cao Xing had anticipated this result.
The Moon God Trading House spent a lot on this fishing contest, their main goal likely being the Jade Perch.
However, Cao Xing did not know what use this magical creature had for her.
So Cao Xing directly asked.
"Lady Marita, I will naturally agree to your request."
"But I want to know, is the Jade Perch very important to you?"
The lady in front of him sighed softly...
"To tell the truth, our Princess Fran attempted to reach the Great Mage level not long ago."
"She succeeded, but at the critical mont, she was interrupted by a powerful assassin and fainted on the spot."
"We paid a heavy price to wake Princess Fran up, yet she suffered severe magical backlash from that interference."
"Now, she not only cannot exert her Great Mage abilities, but also her condition worsens every day..."
At this point, a tinge of worry appeared on Marita’s mature and competent face, alongside a hidden trace of anger.
"Princess Fran... is the hope of Youlan Kingdom; she is the most promising to surpass the Great Mage in the past century..."
"None of us want anything to happen to her."
"During this ti, the Youlan Royal Family has been extrely anxious, trying to find a way to heal Princess Fran."
"Until I heard by chance that in the Anno River of Gale Snow Plain, there lies a magical perch that can cure damage caused by magical backlash."
"But since this legendary fish is exceptionally rare, catching it is extrely difficult, even those Fishing Masters are not confident."
"So, I organized this fishing contest hoping to try our luck."
"And unexpectedly, Lord Cao Xing participated, and not only that, you caught such a legendary fish, which truly surprised !"
A look of admiration appeared in Marita’s beautiful eyes.
And Cao Xing understood the cause and effect.
He nodded and said, "No problem, Lady Marita, I can sell you a Jade Salmon."
His willing agreent brought a gentle smile back to Marita’s face.
She gratefully said, "Thank you, Lord Cao Xing."
"How does a price of 4 million Crowns for one Jade Perch sound?"
To be honest, based on the estimate from the middle-aged man with the goatee, Marita’s offer was nearly double the price!
But so things cannot be bought rely with money.
Just like this Jade Perch.
Even with the Moon God Trading House’s vast influence and wealth, they needed to set up this fishing contest with plenty of prizes to attract talents.
To see if they could get lucky and catch a Jade Perch.
But such rare creatures are not easily caught.
If it weren’t for Cao Xing this ti, none of the participants would have caught even a Snowflake Sea Bream, let alone a Jade Perch.
So, Marita’s price was fair.
Cao Xing replied, "Lady Marita, the price is agreeable."
"However, instead of Crowns, I prefer to barter."
"Did the Moon God Trading House bring any goods this ti?"
Cao Xing directly stated his preference.
The last ti, the Moon God Trading House’s inventory had many items that tempted him.
Hearing this, a look of consideration appeared on Marita’s delicate face, and then she nodded.
"Very well, Lord Cao Xing."
