Chapter 18 - Shopping At The Market

Rong Zhan’s eyes instantly turned somewhat gloomy as he said in a dangerous tone, “You want to go out for a stroll? Is my mountain not enough for you to play with?”

Ye Zhizhi glanced at him from top to bottom. Not only was she not afraid, but she also crossed her arms and hung around him. She bluntly exposed him, “You’re very strange! What? Are you afraid that I’ll run away?”

“No, I just feel that it’s too dangerous outside. If you need anything, just tell me. This is such a big mountain, I can get you anything.” Rong Zhan’s tone sounded as if he was acting coquettishly.

However, Ye Zhizhi said firmly, “Didn’t you say that you would agree to anything? I’m going to go shopping now. Go pick something and see if we can exchange it for something at the bottom of the mountain.”

At first, she heard Rong Zhan say that this was the world of the orcs, and there were some tribes at the foot of the mountain. She thought that since it was a market organized by the tribes, it meant that she could barter in the market. Perhaps she could exchange it for some handy tools, which was better than making it herself.

Rong Zhan couldn’t bear to make Ye Zhizhi sad, so he could only do as she said. He picked a lot of spices and brought her down the mountain. However, before they went down the mountain, Rong Zhan suddenly pulled her to the side of the stream. He grabbed a handful of yellow soil and touched her face, body, and even arms.

“What are you doing?” Ye Zhizhi took a deep breath and looked at the dirty soil all over her body.

Rong Zhan felt that he had gone crazy. He felt that Ye Zhizhi was beautiful even though her face was covered in mud. He didn’t want to take her out. His little one was really too beautiful. What if other orcs saw it and fought with him? Although they definitely could not win against him, it would make him feel very angry. He could only use the yellow mud to hide her true appearance.

Ye Zhizhi was helpless. She rubbed it, and the more she rubbed, the dirtier the yellow mud became. It was truly maddening. Thus, when Rong Zhan transformed into a tiger and carried her down the mountain, she deliberately grabbed the golden fur of the tiger. Rong Zhan did not care. He only thought that his little one’s temper was not small, but the more she was like this, the happier he was.

Soon, they arrived at the tribe. Although this place was a mountain peak, the tribes below were very lively. There were beast men everywhere, and the things they placed were all strange. Some were even things from the capital. Ye Zhizhi was delighted as she watched. She jogged up and saw many things that seemed to be useful, especially the things from the capital. There were coarse cloths, bracelets, and even wind chimes that were strung together with many shells. They flickered with multicolored rays of light and were extremely beautiful.

However, most of the accessories were for orcs. Wolf fangs, seashells, and other such things were suitable for the big and burly orcs. However, when a petite little girl like her wore them, she would probably have a string of garlic tied around her neck. It was very strange.

Rong Zhan saw that she had paused for a while. He waved his hand and placed a bunch of fragrant leaves on the table from his backpack. He said, “This, this, this, I want them all!”

When the peddler saw this, his eyes lit up as if he saw a big client. He hurriedly nodded and said, “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll wrap them up for you right away.”

Ye Zhizhi’s hands were slightly trembling. Fortunately, she really liked them and was too lazy to argue with him. However, she still had to use them sparingly in the future. It would be better to exchange them for some practical things to take back. After thinking for a while, she pulled Rong Zhan to the side and whispered to him, “We have to bring some practical things back today. Don’t exchange them randomly again. There won’t be any fragrant leaves later.”

Rong Zhan patted his chest and was about to say that he had fragrant leaves. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhizhi glared at him, and he didn’t say anything else. “I’ll listen to you!”

After taking a few steps, she saw that there were actually quite some stone tools placed in an inconspicuous place. She ran over happily. “Rong Zhan, Rong Zhan, quickly come and take a look. There are so many stone tools here.”

“Mhm, it’s not a big deal. They’re not worth much!” Rong Zhan was not surprised.

Ye Zhizhi glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. She was too lazy to say anything to him. She reached out and pulled down the basket on her back and placed it in front of the peddler.. “How much can we exchange for? Put it all in for me!”
