Protect Our Clan Leader - Chapter 155
Chapter 155: Chapter 121: Feast! Return with the Game (Seeking Recommendation and Monthly Tickets)_1
At these words, all eyes turned to Liu Yonghao. Some were questioning, some envious.
“Liu Yonghao, what makes you sure that this python was hunted by your family?” Liu Ruolei scolded him in a sweet and angry voice. “From this far away, you can recognize your family’s men?”
“Miss Ruolei is right.” some peddlers chimed in, “We are too far away, we can only determine it’s a python head by comparing it with the litter, and only with some difficulty. What makes you so confident that the Liu Clan killed it?”
Upon hearing these words, whispers of ridicule filled the air, mocking Liu Yonghao for bragging.
Although Liu Yonghao is a direct descendent of the Liu Clan, his reputation is not good. Only a few months ago, he had been severely beaten by an eleven- year-old girl just outside the Wang family’s house!
“You know nothing.” Liu Yonghao hollered back, his ears were bright red in embarrassment. “Though we’re far away, we can see two long beams protruding from the top of the carriage. That’s the carriage my father personally modified to load more goods, something I’ve never seen any of your families do.”
Upon hearing Liu Yonghao’s explanation, people strained their eyes to look, and those with better eyesight could indeed see the beams protruding from the litter, and exclaimed: “Just as the Young Master Liu said, it must be Liu family’s carriage.”
“Ha-ha!”
The Liu and Zhao clans’ young ones burst into cheers. Those two clans have always been in cahoots. Or in their words, they share the same sentiments and interests.
If the leading carriage belongs to the Liu Clan, then the large caravan must be a joint fleet of the Liu and Zhao clans.
They had been waiting for a long time, and finally the return of their own family’s caravan was in sight.
“Young Master Liu, your family is going to get rich!” Some peddlers who had been traveling around, began to flatter him. “That Level Three Peak Python alone would fetch a fortune.”
The flesh and bone of Level Three beasts are incredibly expensive, often costing one Qian Gold per pound on average. And most Level Three beasts have extremely large bodies, weighing thousands of pounds, if not more.
The Python Swallow is a Level Three beast with a body that is notably long and weighs above average.
However, a Level Three Peak Python Swallow probably weighs at least five or six thousand pounds, and is more expensive than ordinary Level Three beasts.
Besides, many materials from the Python Swallow are quite valuable, such as its large gallbladder, a premium material for Level Three Dan medicines, and its skin, which can be used to make high-quality leather armor.
Apart from its flesh, the most expensive part of it is probably its single horn, which, although not qualified for crafting Spiritual Artifacts, can be used to make powerful weapons for those in the Vital Energy Refining Realm.
These items, which are not considered Spirit Instrument Level but have good effects for Qi refining, are often called Little Spirit Treasures. Wang Shouzhe’s Breath Concealing Jade Pendant is a rather common Little Spirit Treasure.
Therefore, a Level Three Peak Python Swallow is likely worth ten thousand Qian Gold or more.
It sounds like a lot of money.
But when ordinary ancestors encounter such a fierce python, they should be thankful if they can escape with their lives, let alone kill it.
The continuous flattery drowned Liu Yonghao. Those peddlers’ intentions were simple – to suck up to the Young Clan Leader of the Liu Clan and hopefully get a good deal on scraps later on.
Strange?
Liu Yonghao was thoroughly enjoying the sensation, but he also felt something was not quite right. As the Young Clan Leader, he knew the general purpose of his father’s trip to the frontier, which was not mainly for hunting, but to target the Wang family.
Could it be that everything had gone so smoothly? The ancestors and their allies, worn out, went out for a hunting break and made some extra money on top?
The more he thought about it, the more probable it seemed, and Liu Yonghao became excited and nervous.
The more excited the young ones of the Liu and Zhao clans became.
The more worried Liu Ruolei became, her face becoming paler and paler.
“Ruolei, it will be okay.” Liu Yuanrui comforted, “Brother Shouzhe is a blessed man, he probably just got delayed on the road.”
At the same time.
More and more people were gathering on the city wall, all drawn by the commotion.
At the same time.
Another carriage arrived in Zun City. From the carriage emerged Gongsun Hui, Wang Luoyi, and Wang Luomiao of the Wang family.
They would come everyday to see if they could welcome Wang Shouzhe and his party. As soon as they got out of the carriage, they heard the whispered discussions, and hurriedly climbed the city wall.
“Uncle Gongsun, Luoyi, Miaomiao.” Liu Ruolei approached them with a worried expression, “Everyone’s saying that the returning caravan belongs to the Liu and Zhao clans.”
“Ruolei, trust in Shouzhe.” Gongsun Hui, who was involved in the family’s affairs, had a clear understanding of Shouzhe’s abilities and maintained a calm composure.
“It’s snowing! It’s snowing!”
Some people started to shout.
Sure enough, tiny snowflakes began to flutter down from the sky. As the wind blew, it brought along a snow flurry that obstructed the view, making the image of the caravan even more blurry.
The faces of the Wang family members turned grim.
This snow looked quite heavy and it would be trouble if Shouzhe and his party didn’t return before the roads got blocked by it.
However, the young members of the Liu and Zhao clans seemed to be more elated, and various rumours began to circulate.
Suddenly!
Someone called out, “Town Defence Envoy is here for inspection!”
Town Defence Envoy, Lei Yangqiu!?
That was a significant figure in Ping’an Town, a prodigy from the Celestial being family, whose status was far above that of the young people from the Liu and Zhao clans.
