The Immortal Court Lady looked coldly at Shopkeeper Pang: "What’s the lowest price? You know what happens if you try to deceive ."
She had plenty of money, but she wasn’t foolish.
Shopkeeper Pang’s face turned pale, and he kept wiping sweat: "Eighty percent, the lowest I can offer is eighty percent discount, totaling forty-seven thousand two hundred Immortal Crystals, rounded down to forty-seven thousand."
"At most, thirty thousand!" Lan Wan’er raised her hand again, "Our wolf cubs are still young; they can’t eat that much."
"Young lady, is this really how you bargain?" Shopkeeper Pang said with a bitter smile, "I can only give another thousand off at most."
"Thirty-one thousand, can’t go higher."
"Forty-five thousand, can’t go lower."
"Lici, let’s forget it. When your Master returns, we’ll send them back to the East Qian Kingdom together. I can also take the chance to taste the food from your East Qian Kingdom. We can carry Sister Fairy’s goods back too, free of charge."
"Forty thousand, really can’t go lower. We earn not only from the shipping fee but also have to provide insurance for the wolf cubs, don’t we? If anything happens, our Yao Family will cover it completely."
"Thirty-two thousand... you just deceived Sister Fairy."
Lan Wan’er fought with reason.
Very soon, Wang Lici joined in the bargaining, talking about how her little wolves were so obedient and behaved; give them sothing to eat and they wouldn’t make trouble.
After half an hour of intense bargaining, the final price settled at thirty-six thousand Immortal Crystals.
Indeed, transporting and caring for Spirit Beasts is costly, but it’s a bit excessive to multiply the price of transporting one wolf by five for five wolves.
Ultimately, the Immortal Court Lady cheerfully paid the shipping fee. This price was considerably low.
Once the price was determined, a series of fixed procedures followed.
The Immortal Court Lady’s items were relatively simple; it was just a matter of verifying breed and quantity before packing. On the other hand, Wang Lici’s little wolf cubs were quite troubleso, requiring a professional Beast Tar to evaluate and register their age, talent, strength, appearance, and health status before handing them over to the Beast Tar employed by Yao Air Transport, to be transported onto the Cloud Ray Flying Ship.
Among these, registering talent and appearance is to prevent staff from secretly swapping Spirit Beast cubs during transport, a way of being responsible to custors. Checking health status ensures that the Spirit Beast being sent onto the Cloud Ray Flying Ship is healthy, otherwise if issues arise en route, Yao Air Transport would be held accountable.
When handing over the five wolf cubs to the Beast Tar, Wang Lici felt sowhat reluctant.
After all, they’ve been raised for thirty years and have developed emotional attachnts, making abrupt separation sowhat unsettling.
"When you get ho, you have to listen to your family, understand? Fourth Uncle Shouzhe won’t spoil you like I do, you need to be more mindful, knowing who can be provoked and who cannot." Wang Lici reluctantly patted each of the five wolves’ furry heads, giving them advice regardless of whether they understood.
As she spoke, she pulled out a piece of paper and a pen, quickly drew a sketch, and pointed to two figures on it, advising the five wolf cubs: "See, this is Fourth Uncle Shouzhe; he’s a terrifying Great Demon King. If you make a mistake and get caught by him, he’ll have you recite books. Beside him is Fourth Aunt; she’s usually gentle, but if you anger her, you’re done for."
The five adolescent wolf cubs sat obediently on the ground, looking at Wang Lici and then at the drawing in her hand, their blue eyes blinking. It’s uncertain if they understood.
Standing nearby, Lan Wan’er clicked her tongue in surprise.
Wow~ they might get caught to recite books, Sister Lici’s family sounds so scary~~
Also, with Sister Lici’s scribbles, who could recognize who she drew? Not just these five clueless wolf cubs, even Lan Wan’er couldn’t!
After a long while of chatter, Wang Lici finally let go of the five wolf cubs reluctantly, watching them being led onto the Beast Ring by the Beast Tar, and taken away.
Nonetheless, Wang Lici was not a sentintal person; her emotions ca and went quickly.
After the cargo was shipped.
The three beauties, one elder, two younger, set off cheerfully from Yao Air Transport, heading straight for the food street.
Shopkeeper Pang waved goodbye to the three beauties, then turned back to wipe his cold sweat and chuckled: "Young girls can’t compete with . Just one Beast Tar can easily deal with five wolf cubs; this round is a big win."
Unfortunately, Shopkeeper Pang was happy too soon.
Little did he know, these wolf cubs had followed Wang Lici and indulged themselves for years, already acting like huskies.
He couldn’t anticipate that this shipnt would give a psychological shadow to everyone aboard the Cloud Ray Flying Ship. For many years afterward, crew mbers would get headaches at the re sight of wolf cubs.
A significant loss.
...
The future is naturally unpredictable by anyone. But regardless of what the future holds, at least for now, both Shopkeeper Pang and the three beauties were very happy.
The food on the street was an abundance of riches, and the Immortal Court Lady was generous, directly allowing the two girls to eat freely.
Rarely did they have an elder who knew their eating capacity and still let them indulge, so Wang Lici and Lan Wan’er were ultimately jubilant, joyfully eating their way from one end of the street to the other.
The livestock industry of the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty is very developed, with many local snacks made from Spirit at and Spirit Vegetables, though often of lower grade, still being expensive.
