"Go through the back door and play in the backyard."
"..."
Yuan Hua looked at Xixiang's back quietly and did not stop her from sending the child away.
"Mrs. Xixiang, would you please invite me in to sit down?"
After the child left, Yuan Hua began to ask.
"..."
Xixiang's body trembled, not knowing how to respond...
"If it's inconvenient, let's talk in the yard."
Yuan Hua put his hands in his pockets.
"After all, the child is hiding behind the door. If I go in, you're afraid I'll hurt him."
……
Chapter 418: Breaking and Standing
"No need, please come in."
Mrs. Xixiang shook her head.
"Judging from the way you just appeared out of thin air, you must be the time-space wizard that was rumored."
"Well, it's all thanks to the flattery of my peers. I'm not that mysterious. I'm just an ordinary person who's a little stronger."
Yuan Hua was not too proud. After all, there were many people who were stronger than him on this continent.
"You're joking."
Seeing that Yuan Hua was unexpectedly easy to talk to, Mrs. Xixiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
There is no such thing as a visit without a request. The two of them were not related and had never been anxious before. But they had just met, and the legendary figure in front of her called out her name, obviously wanting to see her for something.
I hope it’s not a bad thing, otherwise it would be really difficult for her, a girl who is so weak that she can’t even tie a chicken.
"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."
Yuan Hua looked back and then looked at Madam Xixiang again.
"I'm Willow's friend. She asked me to come."
"..."
Mrs. Xixiang did not answer immediately, but stared at Yuan Hua's mask in a daze.
"I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Take it, stop pretending."
Yuan Hua handed Wei Luo's hairpin to Mrs. Xixiang.
"I came here with her, but with her identity, I'm afraid it's not convenient for her to move around in the Karaman Empire."
"This……"
Mrs. Xixiang took the hairpin, was silent for a long time, and then opened the door.
"Please come in. It's not convenient to talk outside."
"it is good."
Yuan Hua was not polite. He thought that this Madam Xixiang still had her charm...
……
"Sit down, I'll get you some water."
After making sure that Yuan Hua posed no threat, Mrs. Xixiang's attitude became much more enthusiastic. She busied herself bringing fruits and bread and placed them in front of Yuan Hua.
"Don't bother. I'll just sit for a while and leave."
Yuan Hua gently pushed away the food in front of him.
"Are you dissatisfied with my poor hospitality?"
A look of sadness appeared on Mrs. Xixiang's face.
"Sorry, this is the best I have."
"Don't blame yourself. These things are good. I like them very much. But I have already eaten them on the way here. After all, I came here with a purpose, so I naturally have to get some information."
Yuan Hua casually picked up a bag of gold coins and placed it on the table.
"Use this money to improve your life first."
"No, no, no, I can't do that!"
Mrs. Xixiang was shocked to see the purse full of it!
"I can't have it!"
"Take it. This is from Willow, not from me."
Yuan Hua turned his head and looked at the little ghost Dante in the corner.
"No, there's a child who needs to be taken care of."
"Really can not……"
Mrs. Xixiang smiled bitterly...
"Gold coins can't be spent in the civilian areas of the Karaman Empire."
"why?"
Yuan Hua smelled a hint of gossip, oh no, a hint of something.
The Karaman Empire does not seem to be as good as it seems.
"Ninety-nine percent of the Karaman Empire's resources are in the rich areas. The resources in the civilian areas are not even enough for the civilians to maintain their lives."
"Rather than being commoners, we are more like poor people. It's impossible to find gold coins here."
"The most common means of transaction is barter."
Mrs. Xixiang opened the rice jar and scooped up the low-quality rice with both hands.
"Look, as the princess of the previous empire, what do I eat now?"
"If you really want to help me, just give me some copper coins, and you can use the money to return the child."
"Have you ever thought about leaving?"
Yuan Hua clenched his right hand, and the sound of bones crackling...
"Leave? Where can I go?"
Mrs. Xixiang smiled bitterly.
"I'm not like you. I'm just an ordinary person. If I walk, I can't go far with a child. Even if I walk by myself, I can't go far. If I follow the caravan, I can't afford the money. After all, the caravans that can leave are the caravans that do business with the rich areas."
"The people in the common areas can only allow themselves to be exploited by the alchemists in the rich areas, and they will never be able to rise above the crowd."
"..."
Yuan Hua closed his eyes tiredly...
"That's it, I understand."
"What do you unserstand?"
Madame Xixiang didn't understand Yuan Hua's purpose of coming. Yuan Hua's nonsensical words made Madame Xixiang and Dante, who were the listeners, somewhat confused.
"Let me be frank with you. I'm here to do research."
Yuan Hua took off his mask and revealed his true face.
There is actually no point in wearing this mask.
His name had long been known throughout the continent, and the Space-Time Mage had become his exclusive symbol. Mrs. Xixiang recognized him at the first sight. Needless to say, she would have been able to guess his identity as she was from the wealthy area.
"Willow is a student at Andrews Academy. You must know this."
"Yes."
Mrs. Xixiang nodded.
"She occasionally sends letters, and she mentions it in them."
"For some reason, I became a freshman at Andrews College this year. On the day I enrolled, she found me and wanted to make a deal with me."
Yuan Hua waved his hand and a map appeared on the desktop.
"Let me help her restore her country."
"!!!"
Mrs. Xixiang looked at Yuan Hua in shock and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Well, stop looking. I know I'm handsome."
Let’s talk about business, but we still have to be a little naughty.
Yuan Hua couldn't help laughing out loud.
"As a price, she traded herself to me."
"..."
Mrs. Xixiang remained silent, but still took practical action...
"Dante, come here."
"what?"
Dante blinked, not really knowing what was going on, but it was better to do as he was told.
"Call me brother-in-law."
"???"
"Okay, stop teasing the kid."
Yuan Hua raised his hand to stop Madam Xixiang.
"The child is so young, you want him to recognize his relatives, but he can't remember them. I'm tired of agreeing with him, so forget it, let's wait until he grows up."
"Don't interrupt me, I'll go on."
"it is good."
While shutting his mouth, Mrs. Nishika also covered Dante's mouth.
"When I first came here, I settled in the wealthy area. When I saw those steel buildings, I even began to doubt whether this country needed to be restored."
“I didn’t expect the civilian area to be like this.”
"So, I'll take this job. After all, I'm just a freeloader, and I like to meddle in other people's business when I have nothing to do."
While speaking, Yuan Hua also shook out a pile of copper coins.
"You can use these. Leave the restoration of the country to me. When the country is rebuilt after the fall, the Siruoman Empire will be even more prosperous and powerful than before."
Chapter 419 Stereotype
"Thank you for your help. I will remember your kindness."
Mrs. Xixiang's heart, which had been frozen for many years, finally showed signs of melting.
"No need, it's just a deal."
The suction force of the space vortex not only swept away Yuan Hua, but also swept away the gold coins on the table.
"If the gold coins are useless, I'll take them away to avoid causing you unnecessary trouble."
It came and went quickly, and Mrs. Xixiang suddenly felt like she was dreaming.
