Chapter 917: Chapter 36: Miss Lici “Sweeps” Through the Immortal Dynasty (Request for Monthly Votes)_6 Chapter 917: Chapter 36: Miss Lici “Sweeps” Through the Immortal Dynasty (Request for Monthly Votes)_6 After four hours, the two women finally felt somewhat full.

“Finally got a bit of a full feeling~~ Let’s go together to [Yao’s Air Transport] later. I want to entrust them with sending these wolf cubs back to the Great Qian Land,” Wang Licui patted her belly, contentedly letting out a long sigh, “These wolf cubs are also growing up, and need to be sent back to the family quickly, otherwise they won’t get familiar with us once they’re grown.”

Lan Wanyi, who was equally lacking in life goals, naturally had no objections.

After eating for a while longer and completely finishing the meat on their plates, the two patted their half-full bellies with satisfaction, and left the barbecue restaurant with five half-grown wolf cubs in tow.

“They’re gone?”

Seeing the two women walk away, the reclusive shopkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief and came out from the back room.

At last, he’d managed to send these two grand aunts packing. If they had continued eating, he would have begun to doubt whether they would have eaten him into bankruptcy.

“By the way, how many plates of Level Five Spirit Rhino White Beef do we still have?” he casually asked his assistant.

The assistant opened the freezer to check and immediately became stiff, speechless for a long while.

The shopkeeper was puzzled and peeked inside, only for his expression to freeze as well, “All gone? They’re all gone?”

He immediately rolled his eyes back, almost unable to catch his breath and nearly fainted on the spot.

…

[Yao’s Air Transport] Helan Province, South Mountain County branch.

This was a business operated by the prominent First Grade family of the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty, the renowned Yao family. Through their unique Cloud Crocodile Flying Boats, they transported precious cargo in large quantities across various states and counties. Despite the expensive fees, the service was guaranteed.

Moreover, every so often, specialized Cloud Crocodile Flying Boats would travel overseas to distant and remote imperial capitals for offshore trade, bringing back local specialties with distinctive local features.

“Young miss, Spirit Beasts are living creatures; during transport, they require specialized cultivators for feeding and care, which means the transportation fees are ten times higher than for ordinary living creatures.”

Inside the trade shop, a plump Heavenly Human Realm shopkeeper rapidly calculated the costs, mumbling incessantly, “These Silver Moon Grey Wolf cubs you have possess decent bloodline talents, so their food and drink along the way must not be stinted.”

“Considering the long distance to East Qian Country and the half-year single journey our Cloud Crocodile Flying Boats must make, not to mention the customs fees when entering East Qian Country, our precise calculations come to a total of fifty thousand Immortal Crystals for transporting these five wolf cubs to All Returns Dragon City.”

Fifty thousand Immortal Crystals?

Foodie group members Wang Licui and Lan Wanyi looked at each other, is this a joke?

Fifty thousand Immortal Crystals could buy a massive amount of Spirit Meat. Their master would have to risk his life on an escort mission just to earn that much money, and it was touted as a “generous reward” and “a rare opportunity.”

What’s more, with their appetites, when could they ever save up any Immortal Crystals?

“I, I don’t have that much money,” Wang Licui’s eyes, flickering with disappointment, betrayed her sadness.

She had been with these five Silver Moon Grey Wolf cubs for quite a while; they were gradually reaching the age for taming. If they were not shipped home soon, the family’s children wouldn’t be able to tame them.

“Well, young miss, how much money do you have?” the fat shopkeeper asked kindly, “Our Yao family likes to make good connections, and seeing the potential and talents you both possess, we could give you a discount. After all, our Cloud Crocodile Flying Boats only travel to East Qian Country once every ten years.”

Then, Wang Licui pulled out her shriveled money pouch, and opened it to reveal a bunch of clinking copper coins and shillings. She looked up longingly at the fat shopkeeper, “Uncle, could I possibly owe you at first? I’ll pay you back when my master earns money from his job.”

“Yes, yes, fatty shopkeeper uncle, let’s put it on the tab,” Lan Wanyi also pleaded pitifully as she looked at the chubby shopkeeper, echoing the sentiment.

The chubby shopkeeper’s face instantly stiffened.

These two young girls with fairly impressive talents and strengths, not even a hundred years old, should have been the darlings of their families at this age, so how could they be so poor that they clinked with each shilling?

Also, could you refrain from adding adjectives in front of “shopkeeper”?

A moment later, the chubby shopkeeper uncle “politely” asked them to leave.

“Fatty uncle, help us out, if we don’t send it now, the little wolves are going to grow up,” Lan Wanyi pressed.

“Greasy and chubby shopkeeper, I’ll sing a song for you, please help sister Lici,” Lan Wanyi begged with watery, large eyes, flashing repeatedly.

However, the shopkeeper’s conviction was very firm, and his attitude was becoming more and more polite, “It’s impossible to give credit. East Qian Country is too far, and you two are too poor…”

As they were negotiating, A woman dressed in a white immortal robe, wearing a veil, walked into the shop.

She was tall and graceful, with a demeanor as cold as frost, especially her eyes, which were deep like ice, faintly shimmering with a light blue glow, extremely unique.

She seemed to carry an invisible deterrence with her that, from the moment she entered the door, in just these few short steps, her unseen aura had engulfed the entire room, causing an inexplicable heaviness in people’s hearts, unconsciously arousing awe.

And this was still when she was not intentionally releasing her pressure; if she were to let it out, her aura would undoubtedly be even more terrifying.

It was evident that she must be a high-ranking powerhouse who had long held authority, if not a Celestial being in the Divine Power Territory, then she had to be at the level of Master Yunyang in the Peak Purple Abode, or else she wouldn’t have such an aura.

Her eyes swiftly glanced at Wang Licui and the others, and a flicker of unusual light passed through her profound gaze, “Young girls, are you from East Qian Country?”

“Immortal sister, my name is Wang Licui, I am from Longzuo County in Great Qian Land. This is Lan Wanyi from the Suiyun Lan Family. You’re so beautiful, and so powerful, Immortal sister, do you have acquaintances in Great Qian Land?” Wang Licui didn’t hesitate a bit, immediately started sweetly calling her ‘sister’ and clung to her like a lifeline, in a way that was practiced enough to be pitiable.

When the fat shopkeeper saw the woman, especially the unique emblem of the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty on her flowy immortal robe, his expression instantly changed.

He quickly scurried over, bowing and scraping, explaining, “This Immortal emissary, those two young girls want to send something back to East Qian, but cannot afford it, it’s not that our firm is troubling the customers.”

“From DaQianLanzi?” The Immortal Dynasty woman, with a profound aura, seemed to show a hint of nostalgia, “Although not someone from Return to Dragon City, you could still be considered a fellow townsperson. Never mind, for the sake of being from the same hometown, I’ll take care of this bill.”

“Really? That’s so embarrassing,” Wang Licui’s eyes lit up, and then she quickly came to her senses, declining with a suddenly disheartened expression, “No, let’s forget about it, the shipping fee is too expensive, I can’t trouble you with that.”

“It’s no trouble, I can afford this expense,” the woman from Immortal Court said, finding Lici cute and kind-hearted, and thus felt a stroke of fondness, “It’s not often that I meet fellow townspeople. After this, let me invite you two for a meal and talk to me about the recent situation in Great Qian Land. It’s been many years since I’ve been back.”

“Invite us to a meal?”

The foodie sisters Wang Licui and Lan Wanyi’s eyes were full of delight, saliva nearly dripping from their mouths.

They had just come out to send a parcel and stumbled upon such a pie-in-the-sky stroke of luck?
