Is the wicked female fat and ugly? All the beast husbands are vying to wash her skirt.

Chapter 253 Bad Taste

The main hall, which had been filled with laughter, fell silent the moment Su Nuannuan left.

Dongfang Luanhe got off the wooden chair covered with white animal hide and walked to the earthenware jar where Su Luoluo had just purified salt. His gaze fell on the gauze she had placed on the jar to dry. "What is this?"

Although the plagiarist did not completely purify the salt, he observed that the two people's procedures were basically the same, except for this white substance, which she did not have.

Therefore, the reason why this person can make salt so fine is due to this white substance.

He glanced at it; the thing had horizontal and vertical lines, and looked like it was woven from something, somewhat like animal hide, but much more breathable.

When Su Luoluo asked about it, she said frankly, "This is linen. It can filter out large impurities."

"Linen?" Dongfang Luanhe was surprised. As the lord of a city-state, he had never heard of such a fine item before. "Where did this come from?"

"Of course I made it. The city-state was just interested. I can also use it to make you a piece of clothing, as a gift from me to you for our collaboration."

"Make clothes? You mean this thing can be used to make clothes?" Upon hearing this, Dongfang Luanhe was surprised again.

He had never heard of clothes being made from anything other than animal hides.

Although he had feathered robes and fish-skin garments, to him they were all stripped from animals and were no different from the animal clothing they wore.

He couldn't help but examine the gauze a few more times, confirming that it didn't look like something skinned from an animal.

"That's right, linen clothes are lighter and more breathable, and they also look better."

The other party was dressed in red animal skins, which were also decorated with many white furs. It was obvious at a glance that this city-state lord was someone who liked to dress up.

Since she was going to cooperate with the other party, Su Luoluo naturally tried to please them.

Although this person had just signed a contract with them, she knew very well that he didn't actually fully approve of the cooperation.

A stranger, though possessing salt-making skills, is not entirely irreplaceable.

It's not impossible that he first pretended to cooperate with them, then secretly learned the technology and found someone to purify the salt himself.

Due to the limited conditions on the Beast World Continent, even if Su Luoluo knew of better methods for purifying salt, she couldn't use them here. Therefore, after using this trump card, she had no more ways to work with salt.

But she discovered that Dongfang Luanhe was not only interested in salt, but also in some of the little things she made.

Like the quill pen and ink from before, and now the linen she's making.

This is also a good way to demonstrate one's value.

All cooperation in the world stems from the value demonstrated by the other party.

As long as a person remains valuable, their partners will not abandon them, because they possess what the person desires.

This was the most profound experience Su Luoluo learned in the apocalypse.

The same applies to the Beast World continent.

The things she created were considered novel and "high-tech" even in the Beast World continent.

For Dongfang Luanhe, these things also have great value for cooperation.

Or rather, only she had the ability to create this thing, which is why he had to think highly of himself.

Dongfang Luanhe didn't refuse; instead, he nodded with interest. "Then I'll trouble you." He then looked up at the female, who was half his height, and lazily leaned down to ask, "We've been chatting for so long and I still don't know your name. My name is Dongfang Luanhe. What's yours?"

The other person's eyes held a hint of amusement, which Su Luoluo disliked, but she still met their gaze directly. "My name is Su Luoluo."

“Su Luoluo? What a nice name.” Dongfang Luanhe said, reaching out to stroke Su Luoluo’s face.

Luan Ting, who was standing to the side, grabbed him and blocked him. He said in a cold voice, "Lord of the City, we can discuss the details now."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Luanhe raised his phoenix eyes, smiled, and withdrew his hand. "Are you her beastly husband?"

Luan Ting didn't say anything, but pulled Su Luoluo aside.

Seeing the gray wolf tail swaying when the other person was angry, Dongfang Luanhe smiled faintly. It was just a joke, why are you so nervous?

The wolf's tail is swinging quite high, somewhat like Xiao Luan's, but if it were Xiao Luan, it would probably be spinning around a few times right now.

Su Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief when Luan Ting pulled her aside. This Dongfang Luanhe was really too troublesome. He seemed to be scheming at every moment, and you never knew what he would do next. If it weren't for the white wolf tail he was dragging, she would have thought he was no different from a fox.

This guy wasn't really a pervert; Su Luoluo thought he just had a bit of a perverse sense of humor.

It's better to stay away from it.

After Luan Ting finished speaking, Xi Yi handed over the contract he had just written. "Lord of the City, let's get down to business. We will be responsible for providing the technology to purify the salt, and we will be paid in beast crystals once a month."

When it came to serious matters, Dongfang Luanhe's expression became much more serious. "Settlement is done on the full moon day of the month. You Grey Wolves are really arrogant. Let me see the quality of the salt from your salt wells first!"

Upon hearing this, Xi Yi glanced at Er De, who immediately brought over some unrefined coarse salt. Xi Yi pointed at the salt and said, "This raw salt is right here. City Lord, see for yourself. Its quality is no worse than your lake salt."

Dongfang Luanhe glanced at it, but did not take it. He said indifferently, "Even so, it is not enough for you to take 30% of the beast crystals from my city-state with just a few salt wells."

"Giving you 30% of the beast crystals from Yanjing Cave would be quite a good deal."

Their city-state's beast crystals have always been theirs; there's no reason for them to share them.

These words were a bit too much, and Mo Xuan immediately disagreed, saying, "How is this any different from robbing our salt wells?"

Dongfang Luanhe looked at him with a smile: "Rob? If it weren't for my city-state selling these salt wells, you wouldn't have a single beast crystal. You came to me for cooperation because you value our sales channels, right?"

Individual salt well mining is indeed possible, but it is bound to attract attention.

But city-states are different. They are powerful and backed by the Beast King City, so ordinary orcs don't dare to offend them easily.

Su Luoluo did indeed take this into consideration, which is why she sought cooperation with the city-state.

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Luanhe directly exposed their thoughts, showing them no respect whatsoever.

As expected, the lord of a city is no simple character.

Mo Xuan was about to say something when Su Luoluo stopped him, saying with a faint smile, "The City Lord is truly insightful. But why doesn't the City Lord calculate how many beast crystals our salt purification technology has increased for you?"

"As far as I know, in addition to selling a portion of the salt to the tribes, the city-states also transport it to distant city-states for sale. During this journey, some of the salt is lost due to crystallization. By the time it reaches the city-state for trading, only two-thirds of the salt remains. If the salt we refine does not crystallize, wouldn't the city-states earn even more beast crystals?"

"Besides salt, we can actually cooperate on more things, such as the quill pens and ink I made, and the linen that the city lord just asked about. These things are all my inventions, and I believe that other tribes don't have them. We can sell these things for ten purple beast crystals."

"This newly mined material will bring a lot of beast crystals to the city-state, and soon the whole continent will know that the city lord has the freshest and most interesting things. With so many beast crystals, doesn't the city lord want them?"
