Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 44 Negotiating a Deal
Cang Zhuo looked at Ban You, and the smile in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"Miss Ban, it's not good to ask for such a high price."

"Who... who is asking for such an exorbitant price! Give me money!" Ban You said in a guilty and fierce voice, but he looked calm on the surface.

"Isn't it just one thousand taels? I can give it to you, but... Miss Ban, I want to make a deal with you. If we agree, I'll give you not just one thousand taels, but ten thousand taels."

"What deal?" When Ban You heard this, the only three words left in her mind were "ten thousand taels". She sat on the chair next to Cang Zhuo with shining eyes and asked urgently.

"Leave the Saint to me." Cang Zhuo said and glanced at Xue Zhao who had been looking at him.

"Saint? Who is she? I don't have anyone around me except my sister."

"That fox is the saint of my Min Cang tribe." Cang Zhuo said in a flat tone, taking a sip of tea.

"Ahem, are you talking about Xue Zhao?" Ban You coughed twice in shock at Cang Zhuo's words.

She turned her head to look at the chubby Xue Zhao. Ever since Xue Zhao came to live with her, he had become increasingly plump. His originally small and cute body was now almost the same size as Tuantuan.

"Squeak!" (He's a bad guy! He wants to catch me! Bad guy!)

Xue Zhao cried out, his eyes gradually becoming moist. His originally slender and charming fox eyes were now filled with tears, and he looked aggrieved.

Ban You was used to Xue Zhao's bossy and arrogant demeanor. Now, seeing Xue Zhao looking at her with tears in her eyes, Ban You couldn't help but feel distressed.

"She is just an ordinary fox, not the saint of your tribe." Ban You spoke righteously, and the determination in her eyes made Cang Zhuo believe for a moment that what she said was true.

"Miss Ban, this is a great deal for you. Return the Saint to me and I'll give you 10,000 taels. How about that?"

"I said Xue Zhao is not a saint, it's just an ordinary little fox." Ban You frowned and said impatiently.

"Besides, if you call her, you'll see if she listens to you."

Ban You crossed his arms and looked at Cang Zhuo with an expression that said "go ahead and scream".

Cang Zhuo felt helpless for a moment.

While Banyou was in a coma, he had tried to communicate with the Saint, but the Saint refused to communicate with him and instead wanted to hurt him.

Now the only way to solve this problem is to let Ban You return the saint to him on his own initiative.

As long as Ban You can convince the saint, he can take her away without any effort.

Otherwise, if the elders of the clan knew about this, it would not just be the Saint Girl who would be in danger.

"I'm doing this for your safety. If you hand the Saint over to me, you can get silver and protect yourself at the same time. Why not do it?"

"I said, it is not, it is, Master Canglou, don't you understand what I am saying?"

Cang Zhuo looked at Ban You who looked unwilling, and his original joking thoughts died down. A dark light flashed in his eyes, and his whole body was filled with a cold aura.

His expression was calm, yet Ban You clearly sensed the danger in it.

"Since Miss Ban is unwilling to cooperate, don't blame Cang Zhuo for being violent."

"Squeak!" (What are you going to do?)

When Xue Zhao saw this scene, he hurried forward, stood in front of Ban You, and looked at Cang Zhuo fiercely.

"If the Saint doesn't come back with me, I'll have no choice but to ask her to go back." Cang Zhuo said, and called out, "Mo Qing."

Mo Qing suddenly appeared from nowhere, and without saying a word, he took out a flute from his sleeve and started to play it.

"Hiss, here it comes again!" When Ban You saw the flute that Mo Qing took out, she suddenly thought of the time when she fainted, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

She glanced at Laicai, and Laicai sensibly rushed towards the jade flute in Mo Qing's hand.

Although Mo Qing dodged quickly, Lai Cai still knocked his flute off his feet. Lai Cai then kicked the flute away, and just as Mo Qing was about to pick it up, Cang Zhuo called out to him.

"Mo Qing, forget it." Cang Zhuo said and looked at Ban You, "Miss Ban, isn't it not good for you to be so unreasonable?"

"I'm being unreasonable? Master Canglou, I've told you many times that Xue Zhao is just an ordinary fox, not your clan's saint. It was you who insisted on taking my pet away and accused me of being unreasonable. So who is being unreasonable between us?"

Ban You was furious when she heard this. Regardless of whether Xue Zhao was a saint or not, it was clear that Xue Zhao didn't want to go with him. And since Xue Zhao was living with her now, she should protect her. Furthermore...

Ban You thought of Zhou Heng and the one thousand taels of silver he had collected in advance, and became more determined to protect Xue Zhao.

She turned around and picked up Xue Zhao, looking at Cang Zhuo with a firm gaze: "Master Cang, since you want to find your Saint, I will not accompany you for now. Farewell."

"Wait." Cang Zhuo called out to Ban You.

But Ban You ignored him and walked straight to the door.

"Don't you want to take your other pets with you?"

Cang Zhuo's words successfully made Ban You stop.

"I want to exchange the Saint for your other pets. Is Miss Ban willing to discuss this deal with me?"

Ban You heard Cang Zhuo's words and looked down at Xue Zhao. Xue Zhao's eyes dodged, and Ban You knew that what Cang Zhuo said was true.

She couldn't help but become even more angry. She turned around and asked, "Master Canglou is so generous. You captured all my pets just for a little fox. What? If I don't give you Xue Zhao, you will kill all my pets?"

When Cang Zhuo saw Ban You’s angry look, he knew that he had completely angered Ban You.

"I don't like killing, I just want to make a deal with Miss Ban." Cang Zhuo looked at Ban You steadily with a flat tone.

"But I don't want to discuss this deal with you." Ban You refused directly.

"Mo Qing, I remember the Min Cang people have a way of making braised rabbit. It's very delicious. Tell the cook that I want to eat braised rabbit tonight."

"Yes."

When Ban You heard Cang Zhuo's words, her eyes instantly turned red, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes and slid down her cheeks.

When Cang Zhuo saw her like this, he felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe and extremely uncomfortable.

"Human, please hand me over to him. I am willing to go with him."
When Xue Zhao saw this scene, his usual domineering look disappeared. Instead, he rubbed Ban You's arm with a well-behaved look on his face.

Ban You hugged Xue Zhao tightly, his voice choked with sobs, his eyes bloodshot: "I can't give Xue Zhao to you. If you want to hurt my pets, I will fight to the death to make you die with them!"

The atmosphere in the room also grew cold. The two looked at each other, but no one spoke again.

After a long time, Xue Zhao suddenly jumped out of Ban You's arms, jumped onto the table in front of Cang Zhuo, stood in front of Cang Zhuo, put his forehead against Cang Zhuo's forehead, and closed his eyes.

When Ban You saw Xue Zhao jumping down, he wanted to stop him, but after seeing Xue Zhao's actions, he shut up and just watched Xue Zhao's actions.

At the moment when Xue Zhao and Cang Zhuo's foreheads touched, the long-lost voice of Xue Zhao appeared in Cang Zhuo's mind.

"Since you know I'm the Saint of the Min Cang Clan, you should know what my death would mean to the Min Cang Clan. So I advise you to release them and that human, otherwise you will become a sinner for the entire Min Cang Clan. Think carefully."

"Is the Saint threatening death?"

"I'm just warning you. After all, even if I die, you will still choose the next Saint. But now that the Sky Fox bloodline is dying out, I'm the only remaining Sky Fox cub. When the next Sky Fox cub appears is none of my business."

After Xue Zhao finished speaking, he took a step back, away from Cang Zhuo, turned around, jumped off the table, and returned to Ban You's arms.

Cang Zhuo raised his head and looked at it for a long time, then sighed.

"Mo Qing, have someone escort the Saint and Miss Ban back safely. Be sure to protect the Saint."

"Yes."

Ban You was about to say no when Xue Zhao grabbed her clothes. She looked at Xue Zhao and stopped talking when she saw him shaking his head.

Before leaving, she glanced at Cang Zhuo, her eyes darkened, and she turned and left.

Cang Zhuo looked at her back, sighed, closed his eyes and leaned back.
