"Ma’am, I can still... still fit a little more!" Ji Taixian was so exhausted, he was huffing and puffing.
Song You’ai said nothing, but inwardly, she was gobsmacked.
When her own daughter had stored six freezers in one go, she didn’t see any of this stripping off clothes and jumping around.
Besides, her daughter only had a small Space, definitely not as large as Ji Taixian’s fifty-square-ter one.
"Tai Xian, you need to work out more, you hear? A young man shouldn’t be so weak!" Song You’ai said earnestly, patting Ji Taixian’s shoulder.
The young man felt rather offended.
Xie Ning glanced at Lu Wei and his n, who were still moving goods, and walked straight up to Gu Chen. "Captain Gu, thank you for your help along the way. I think it’s ti we went our separate ways. You have to get to your mission point, and we don’t want to get in your way."
Gu Chen smiled at her, his galaxy-deep eyes sparkling as he stared. "I have a favor to ask before we part. Can we strike a deal?"
Xie Ning stared back at him, her face expressionless.
She felt that even when this man was just slumping against a wall without a care for his image, he was probably surrounded by enthusiastically blooming peach blossoms.
"I saw that tal knife you made for your mother. It looked incredibly useful. Could you make so for our team?" The man’s charming eyes curved into crescents as he smiled. "We can pay with supplies."
Xie Ning didn’t hesitate for a mont. She nodded. "I can, and I don’t need any supplies. It’s just that with my current Gold Elent Energy, I can only make two more tal Knives at the mont."
’After all, I need to conserve so energy to find Junjun once we’re back on the road. If I use up all my superpower energy now, I’ll be in trouble if we run into danger.’
"That’s fine, that’s fine. But we insist on giving you the supplies. I can’t just take advantage of you." Gu Chen nodded again and again, beaming. "In that case, I’ll place an advance order for thirty. You can take your ti making them. You can just give the rest the next ti we et."
Xie Ning silently shot him a look.
’He says that with such certainty, as if he’s sure we’ll et again!’
"Wait here, then." Xie Ning walked over to a row of cloth-upholstered sofas by the window, sat down, and slowly began to craft the long tal knives.
Her Superpower Level wasn’t high, so it took her about five to ten minutes to make a single knife.
By the ti the two long tal knives were complete, fifteen minutes had passed.
Gu Chen handed one of the long tal knives to his team’s precious Space Ability User for self-defense.
Wu ng was overjoyed when he took the knife.
These two long knives Xie Ning had made were a good forty centiters longer than the one Song You’ai was holding.
After all, for a group of young n who were all over 1.8 ters tall, a long knife around 1.2 ters in length was an excellent fit.
"This is amazing! I love this knife! Your Gold Ability is incredibly useful." Wu ng was all smiles, thanking Xie Ning again and again.
Xie Ning was a bit embarrassed by the praise. "It was nothing, really. No need for thanks. Well, we’ll be taking our leave now."
"Wait." Gu Chen walked over and whispered sothing to Lu Wei.
Lu Wei nodded and quickly got a few of the young n to move supplies, loading box after box into the trunk of Xie Ning’s car.
Gu Chen walked back to Xie Ning with a smile. "Just a few small things. Don’t say no."
"Thank you." Xie Ning thought to herself, ’No wonder Mom’s been calling him Xiao Gu left and right. This Xiao Gu really knows how to handle people.’
"Mom, we’re going."
"Alright, dear." After affectionately saying her goodbyes to Gu Chen—with a few more "Xiao Gu"s thrown in—Song You’ai hurried out of the store.
"Let’s go, sweetie!"
