Chapter 950 Deduct It from the Betrothal Gift

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The sky had only just brightened. As the largest city on the south coast of Chongming Island , You Ri City was extremely lively. The harbor at the south gate was lined with boats preparing to go out to sea to hunt. All sorts of xiuzhe hurried in and out. Most of them were groups of hunters. Of course, there were also lone hunters.

The shops on both sides of the streets of Secluded Sun City had long since opened for business. Some people simply set up stalls on the streets to peddle their goods. The sounds of peddling rose and fell one after another. It was a prosperous scene, not the slightest bit like they had just experienced a war.

About two months ago, the First Prince and the Seventh Prince each led a hundred thousand troops to attack Daming Manor until they reached You Ri City. Ding Qing decisively abandoned You Ri City in order to help the Chu army of Star Continent. She commanded the south banner of the Chu army to leave. As a result, You Ri City fell into the hands of the Chongming Army. Because of this, Serene Sun City was not destroyed by the battle, and the cultivators living in the city were naturally unaffected.

When everyone thought that Secluded Sun City belonged to the Du Clan again, It was impossible to imagine that the 200,000 Chongming Army would be buried under the sea when they encountered an immortal-free storm in the Jie River. The whereabouts of the two princes were unknown. Soon after, news of Du Wubing's defeat and death spread. Immediately after, Ding Qing brought Zhennan Banner and returned. Not only did she retrieve Serene Sun City, she also took the entire Chongming Island into her possession.

At this point, everyone knew that the Chongming Army was finished. The history of the Du Clan ruling Chongming Island for tens of thousands of years had come to an end, and it was replaced by King Chu Shaxing . An awesome figure who owned two continents alone was like the sun in the sky, dazzling and resplendent in the nine continents.

From now on, Chongming Island was surnamed Chu. As the city square where the Heavenly Phoenix Sect's mountain gate was located, and as the land of the Dragon Vein where King Chu had made his fortune, Secluded Sun City naturally became popular. It was only a matter of time before it became the largest city square in Chongming Island .

At this moment, in the warehouse of the City Affairs Division, Ding Ding looked at the armor and various magic treasures neatly stacked in front of him with satisfaction. Beside him, Li Youyin, who was fat and had a fawning smile on his face, said, "Miss Ding, 30,000 pieces of high-grade defensive armor, 10,000 flying swords and 50,000 short spears of low-grade. All of them have been counted."

Ding Ding crossed his waist and said, "Well, Commander Li, don't worry, this girl. Come on, take all of this away and send it to my aunt!"

More than a hundred Immortal Cultivator Guild cultivators brought by Ding Ding rushed forward and cleaned out everything with all their hands and feet. The originally mountainous warehouse became empty, and Fatty Li felt a burst of pain when he saw it.

Ding Ding carelessly patted Fatty Li's shoulder and said, "You did a good job. This girl is very satisfied. Well, let the artificers speed up their refining. There are still a lot of armor and magic treasures needed on the frontlines. I will personally come and fetch them next month!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

The fat on Li Youyin's face trembled as he hurriedly chased after her and shouted, "Miss Ding, stop!"

Ding Ding stopped and turned around to look at Li Youyin, puzzled, "You still have something to do?"

Li Youyin's mouth was a little bitter as he said, "Well … Miss Ding, these second-grade high-grade armors cost 800 spirit crystals per set, and the market price is 2,000 spirit crystals. The third-grade low-grade flying swords cost 2,100 spirit crystals, and the market price is close to 6,000. And these short spears …"

Ding Ding's beautiful eyes widened and she interrupted, "Commander Li, you don't need to report these trivial matters to me. Just tell Sister Xiangjun!"

Li Youyin's expression stiffened. He said embarrassedly, "Little aunt, you must be joking. These equipment are all supplied to your Immortal Cultivator Guild. Our Sky Phoenix Sect only undertook to forge them. That … brothers still pay for it … We don't earn the spirit crystals of the Guild brothers, but we still have to recover the costs. Haha … You can't just move the items away like this, you have to pay the bill first!"

Li Youyin took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead, looking awkwardly at the innocent Ding Linglong.

Ding Ding's eyes were filled with joy as he said, "You asked me for spirit crystals?"

"Haha, it's cost!" Li Youyin corrected.

"Then how much do I have to pay you?" Ding Ding pouted and said unhappily.

Li Youyin instantly regained his spirits and said skillfully, "30,000 pieces of high-grade armor of the second grade, each one costing 800 spirit crystals, totalling 24 million spirit crystals. 10,000 low-grade swords of the third grade, each costing 2,100 spirit crystals. Let's forget about this one hundred. Let's count the first two thousand, totaling 20 million spirit crystals. 50,000 low-grade short spears of the second grade …"

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Just tell me how many spirit crystals you want to pay!" Ding Ding interrupted Li Youyin's endless chatter.

Li Youyin licked his lips and smiled flatteringly, "Together, all these items add up to 100 million spirit crystals. If you want to continue forging, you have to pay a deposit of 100 million spirit crystals, so 200 million spirit crystals is more or less enough!"

Fatty Li kept his mind to himself. This time, he had to collect the deposit before he could start work.

Ding Ding said disapprovingly, "Isn't it just 200 million spirit crystals? It's a piece of cake. This aunt will give you 500 million spirit crystals. Remember to hurry up and forge them. The front line still needs a large amount of armor. Don't miss the deadline!"

Fat Li was so excited that he almost jumped up. He patted his chest and said repeatedly, "Little aunt, don't worry, I guarantee that the goods will be delivered on time!"

Ding Ding nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, then I'll take it in a month!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Miss Ding, you seem to have forgotten Fu Lingjing!" Fatty Li's expression stiffened as he hurriedly chased after him.

Ding Ding lovingly rolled his eyes and said, "Stupid you, if you want to go to your Lord Chu, just say that you will deduct 500 million from my betrothal gift."

Fatty Li was immediately dumbfounded, "Deduct 500 million spirit crystals from the betrothal gift? My dear, how many betrothal gifts do you want our Master Chu to give you to marry you?"

"Miss Ding … Little aunt, wait, you can't do this!" Li Youyin hurriedly chased after Ding Ding.

Ding Ding ignored him and disappeared in a moment. Li Youyin chased after Ding Ding to the entrance of the City Affairs Department with his long shirt. However, there was no sign of Ding Ding. He could only pause and stamp his feet dejectedly.

"Keke, what's wrong with Commander Li?" A sweet voice sounded.

Three stunning beauties were climbing up the stairs. In the middle was a charming woman wearing a purple dress. Her attractive figure was Li Xiangjun, and the two beside her were Zhao Ling and Xue Jian.

Seeing Li Xiangjun's arrival, Li Youyin immediately greeted him like a savior, crying and complaining.

'" Incense Chief Li , you judge. At that time, we paid the Immortal Cultivator Guild for the spirit crystals at the market price. This time, we helped the Immortal Cultivator Guild forge magic treasure armor. I only charged the cost price, but Miss Ding actually said that she wanted to deduct it from the betrothal gift … That's the truth!"

Little Little and Little Snow had already laughed so hard that they fell down. Li Xiangjun did not know whether to laugh or cry. Only Ding Ding, a neurotic naughty fellow, could do such a thing. It was truly unprecedented.

"Hehe, the betrothal gift was deducted from 500 million spirit crystals. Thank goodness she came up with it. Fortunately, master does not lack spirit crystals, otherwise, she would not be able to afford to marry!" Little Snow giggled.

Li Xiangjun smiled and said, "Commander Li, let's forget about this matter. We, King Chu, don't take a few hundred million spirit crystals seriously. If you really want to argue with Linglong, she might really ask for billions or even tens of billions of spirit crystals as betrothal gifts. With your Master Chu's personality, he might agree in one go. At that time, there will be more than a few hundred million spirit crystals lost!"

Li Youyin couldn't help but shrink his neck and secretly made up his mind to beat Ding Ding to death.

"Haha, what Incense Chief Li said is true. Right now, our Lord Chu is rich in two continents, so he naturally doesn't care about a few hundred million spirit crystals. Oh right, isn't Incense Chief Li hosting the event in Star Continent? What brings you back?" Li Youyin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

"Let's talk inside!" Li Xiangjun leisurely walked towards the City Affairs Division.

Ding Ding left the City Affairs Division and proudly walked towards the city gate with more than a hundred subordinates.

During this period of time, the army of the Immortal Cultivator Guild and the south banner of the Chu army were stationed near the border river between the Eight Desolate Continents and Chongming Island, facing off against the Eight Desolate Army and Thunder Jade Army across the border river. The members of the Immortal Cultivation Guild began to rush over to help. They had already gathered nearly 300,000 people. In addition to the Chu Army's Southern Banner, there were more than 400,000 people. The lineup was unprecedentedly strong.

Of course, these gathered members of the Immortal Cultivation Guild were not regular troops and lacked proper equipment. Therefore, Ding Qing asked the Chu Army to help forge all kinds of equipment. In the past month, the frontlines had only maintained a state of confrontation and did not start a war. Ding Ding, this naughty fellow, was tired of staying at the frontlines, so he volunteered to come to Secluded Sun City to move his equipment.

Elder He Chen looked at Ding Ding, who was happily shopping. Finally, he couldn't help but whisper, "Little Miss, let's transport the things away without paying for the spirit crystals. Isn't that good?"

Actually, He Chen was the person in charge of transporting the equipment this time, but when Ding Ding shouted that he was coming, the position of the person in charge was taken over by Ding Ding.

Ding Ding said indifferently, "What is there? Isn't this just a few hundred million spirit crystals? Isn't it impossible for a native egg to come out?"

He Chen couldn't help but sweat and said embarrassedly, "This old man doesn't mean that. King Chu is sitting in the land of the two continents. Not to mention hundreds of millions of spirit crystals, tens of billions is not a problem, but …!"

"But what?" Ding Ding asked.

'"Haha, but the Chu Army paid a real price for ordering a troop carrier ship from our guild back then. Right now, the Chu Army's Southern Banner is still helping us fight. If we don't pay for the spirit crystals for nothing, I'm afraid people will gossip!"

Ding Ding said nonchalantly, "Let others talk!"

"Little miss, this … it's very inappropriate for you to move your husband's family's things to your mother before you've married!" He Chen couldn't help but remind him.

Ding Ding's eyes immediately widened. He Chen saw that he was about to clear his throat and teach the young miss a lesson on how to be a wife when he heard Ding Ding scream in surprise, "Earth egg!" After saying that, he sprinted out like an arrow and pounced into the arms of a man who was heading towards him.

He Chen and the more than a hundred Immortal Cultivator Guild brothers behind him couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
