"It's on the way, it's always on the way!"
Chu Xing immediately said, "It's really like God is raining and you didn't bring an umbrella—what a coincidence!"
Chu Xing blinked and continued, "Since the three of us are also going to the capital, let's go together. I've heard this road isn't safe either. With our help, wouldn't it be safer?"
"I see. So how should the fare be calculated?"
The old woman straightened her posture a bit. After all, she was an old businesswoman, and she would change when it came to money!
"I'll give you the money! I don't need that little bit!"
Chu Xing winked at the oni girl beside him, and then, through a tacit understanding that he had somehow developed, Rem took out a bag of gold coins and a bag of gold leaves from her backpack!
Ah this!
Anastasia, who had been mostly silent, brightened up. As expected of a future great businesswoman, she really does change when she sees money!
"Okay, it's decided then!"
Anastasia made this decision directly for the old woman, or perhaps she was afraid that Chu Xing might suddenly change his mind!
"hehe."
Chu Xing couldn't help but chuckle. Anastasia really does love money! He wondered how much she was worth in one night... Hehehe, Chu Xing had a lot of wonderful ideas at this moment!
Then Chu Xing and his two companions stayed at an inn nearby for three days…
That's right! Karalaki is a complete waste! They have so much cargo to move, yet they only have one wagon!
Chu Xing originally wanted to help, but Anastasia, that brat, was afraid he would take money, so she desperately tried to stop him from helping!
Damn, is this what future business tycoons are like? Why are they so stingy now? Or is it that only the most miserly people can become big bosses?
After watching the old man and the young man busily loading the truck for three whole days, they finally finished loading part of the goods, and the five-person Royal Capital Advance Team could finally set off!
The old woman was naturally the one driving the carriage. She wouldn't have dared to do it if it were Chu Xing and his two companions. People are naturally wary, especially merchants like them, who are cunning. They might get the other party onto the carriage, but they would never relinquish control of it.
And so, Anastasia will be playing with Chu Xing!
Hmm, no, maybe there's a connection between lolis. Rem and Anastasia easily became friends, laughing and joking around, both talking about what they had seen and encountered on their journey!
Yes, what a magnificent and sacred scene!
Chu Xing rested her chin on her hand, looking at the three girls who were standing close together because of the goods. For some reason, she thought of many yuri anime, and a maternal smile appeared on her face. She would also let out strange laughter from time to time.
But the road wasn't smooth sailing either; they hadn't gone far when they encountered robbers!
Okay, actually this is somewhat normal. Although there wasn't anything particularly valuable in the car, there was a lot of stuff! It easily gives the impression that even if the items aren't personally valuable, the sheer quantity adds up to a certain amount of money! Therefore, it's not surprising that it was robbed, right?
"This road is mine, these trees are mine, if you want to pass, leave your toll."
More than a dozen burly men with broad backs and thick waists sprang out from the roadside bushes, brandishing sharp blades and shouting loudly. Their eyes flashed with a fierce light, and they seemed ready to hack and slash at you at the slightest provocation!
Yes, someone like Chu Xing, who has killed to a certain extent, can easily sense that these people haven't actually killed anyone yet; they just seem a bit more ruthless in their demeanor.
So these are just a bunch of younger brothers, but the old woman doesn't think so! Perhaps this old ginger is quite experienced and shrewd, able to read people's expressions and understand human nature, but she has never killed anyone, so how can she tell if someone is murderous?
On the contrary, the intimidating power of the gleaming knife made the old woman almost lose her composure! Especially when she thought of her little granddaughter behind her, she became even more cautious!
They quickly got off the carriage and kept saying nice things, hoping that the bandits would spare the penniless women!
But it doesn't seem to be of much use!
The three little girls hiding inside the carriage were already huddled together, trembling with fear!
Uh… Chu Xing just doesn’t understand. Anastasia may have seen less, but Remram has blood on her hands, and she has also killed a lot of magical beasts. Why is she afraid of this weak bandit who can’t even use magic and can only slash people randomly with a knife?
###143. Transactions###
Snapped!
A crisp slap!
The robber finally lost his patience and slapped the old woman hard, knocking her to the side!
Damn it, what robber would talk so much with an old lady? It's a waste of time! What if they get caught by law enforcement?
Immediately, the robbers' greedy eyes fell on the carriage, hoping to make a fortune after a year of not making any business!
"What to do? What to do?"
Anastasia rarely saw such a scene, and a look of panic appeared on her little face.
But then she remembered that Chu Xing seemed to have mentioned some magic, so wouldn't that be enough to defeat these robbers?
With that thought in mind, Anastasia turned her pleading gaze to Chu Xing!
As a result, they didn't even glance at it and completely ignored it!
"Hey!"
Anastasia was somewhat indignant. She was a beautiful young woman, after all! How could they just ignore her like that? People shouldn't, and shouldn't, treat her like that!
Chu Xing glanced at her, his expression indifferent, his tone mocking, and said, "What's wrong? Do you want me to save you? But why should I? Come to think of it, we're not far from Wangding now. I can walk the rest of the way myself. Why should I travel with you? So this journey has come to an end, and our relationship is over. Therefore, your life or death doesn't seem to concern me much!"
"How could you do this! Honesty is essential in business!"
"If you're all dead, will no one find out about my dishonesty? Hmm, my two younger sisters wouldn't gossip about me!"
"this!"
Anastasia was increasingly realizing that Chu Xing was actually a shameless person! His ability to make things up was also extremely strong, with a tendency to turn the truth into the opposite!
Whoosh!
Anastasia suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "So you just want something in return, right? Tell me, what kind of price do you want for me to do this?"
A smile suddenly reappeared on Chu Xing's face. He bent down to meet Anastasia's gaze and said, "Oh, little girl, you're really smart. You figured out my true thoughts just like that. That's right, I want benefits! I won't do anything without benefits. I'm an old capitalist!"
"... "
Anastasia gritted her teeth. Wasn't Chu Xing just taking advantage of someone's misfortune? How could he do this? She absolutely mustn't let Chu Xing catch her when she was down on her luck, or she would kick him while he was down!
Anastasia took a breath, her anger subsiding slightly, and said, "All the goods in this truck are yours, all I need is for you to save my grandmother!"
"What would I do with this truckload of useless junk? Wait, you can't measure me by money! Do you think I'm short of money? Remember, the gold that came out earlier is enough to buy fifty truckloads of this kind of cargo!" Chu Xing took out a gold coin from his pocket and tossed it around, looking like he was rich!
"So what do you want to do?"
Anastasia's delicate, beautiful eyebrows furrowed. After saying those words, a sudden sense of unease rose within her! Perhaps… she still knew what Chu Xing wanted!
Just as she had thought, the next moment Chu Xing placed a hand on her head and said with a smile, "Isn't that obvious? Of course I want you! Tell me, how can a whole truckload of useless trash compare to a pretty young girl?"
Anastasia wasn't about to let anyone touch her head like that. She immediately shook off Chu Xing's hand, took a half-step back, and asked warily, "What do you want me to do?"
Chu Xing didn't mind at all. As a brother who dotes on his sister, he really had no resistance to cute anime girls. He continued with a smile, "How about being a maid? Being a maid is actually a very promising career, and I'm willing to give you a lot of freedom. That means you can do your business mini-games while being a maid, and also take care of your family!"
"I…"
"and many more!"
Chu Xing gestured a pause with his hand and said with a smile, "I hope you can think it through before you tell me. After all, this not only concerns your life, but also your grandmother, right? And you only have one chance. If you miss it, you'll have nothing left! As a human being, please seize the present and don't let yourself regret it later!"
"... "
Anastasia's eyes widened in anger. What was the point of all this nonsense? She just wanted her to understand the situation—this was a threat to her, a seven or eight-year-old girl! This was wrong, this was unsportsmanlike conduct! If the situation weren't against her, Anastasia would have shouted "Rat's Tail Juice!"
However, what Chu Xing said was indeed true. Anastasia really needed to think it over carefully. Looking at those vicious robbers outside, she didn't know if they would kill them all! And her grandmother was still lying on the ground, looking dizzy. Maybe a robber would be in a bad mood and just cut her down with a knife, ending her life!
Hesitant, uneasy, and indecisive!
Anastasia knew that what she was about to say might affect her entire life, but... for her grandmother, for her family, what did it matter if she sold herself? If it weren't for her grandmother, where would Anastasia be?
However... the torture she suffers in Chu Xing's hands may be terrible, and may even cause her unbearable pain!
Anastasia clenched her teeth, then suddenly looked up and met Chu Xing's gaze. All hesitation vanished from her eyes, replaced by a resolute determination as if she were going to the battlefield and would die on the battlefield!
She said, "I'm willing! I'll do anything to save us!"
"Oh, that's wonderful!"
Chu Xing happily pounced on Anastasia, who was still in a daze, and hugged her tightly, rubbing his cheek against hers. He said with a grin, "This world is so amazing! Not only are lolis so easy to find, but they're also so easy to trick! I don't even need to use the loli-trickery tool—the lollipop!"
"... "
Anastasia didn't say anything; what else could she say?
Rem and Ram watched this scene from the side and suddenly realized that their brother didn't seem to be a normal person. After all, is this something a normal person would do?
"Oh my, there are people in this car! Three young girls, maybe they're worth a lot of money?"
At this moment, the robbers finally got into the car. When they saw the three little girls, even those who weren't into lolis had their eyes light up. After all, little girls with such good looks could fetch a considerable price on the market! Perhaps even more valuable than the cargo in the car!
But is the loli from Chu Xing's family someone that can be coveted?
###144. Entering the City!###
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, a burst of energy shot out, instantly piercing the head of the robber who was drooling over the three little girls like a bullet!
Chu Xing slowly stood up, his sharp eyes fixed on the robbers who were following behind. He said in a cold and indifferent tone, "This carriage is mine. Once you get on this carriage, your lives are mine. So, do you want to get on again?"
"You're a magician!"
Upon seeing the first robber's dead body, the robbers' faces immediately turned pale with terror, and they retreated repeatedly, not daring to approach!
To these worthless bandits, magicians were such noble and powerful beings! How dare they provoke them?
Judging from the power to kill someone with a flick of the finger, this mage in front of me is probably quite a formidable opponent!
The robbers suddenly felt a sense of retreat, realizing that the person in front of them was someone they couldn't afford to offend, and that they couldn't possibly rob this carriage!
They're trying to run away!
But, although Chu Xing said that, is it really possible that he won't kill anyone if they don't get on the car?
He, who values life as little as an ant and even more cheaply, probably wouldn't recommend killing a few dozen more people! Besides, this otherworldly existence was created in the blink of an eye by that mysterious girl; these people are actually illusions, so killing them wouldn't be a big deal!
"Yes, that's the reason," Chu Xing said, extending one hand and conjuring up a hundred or so ice pillars out of thin air under the terrified gaze of the robbers.
Whoosh!
In a flash, without giving anyone a chance, these ice pillars pierced through the robbers' heads, leaving them no chance to say their last words, and they said goodbye to this world!
