814 I Can Definitely Take Her Down
Cang Yi prepared to return to the Blazing Flame Tribe.
But his brother, Quan Rong, did not want to go back with him.
Cang Yi frowned and asked, “Are you really planning to stay in Rock City and fight Shuang Yin to the death?”
Quan Rong replied, “Yes.”
“Then what will you do if she refuses to change her mind?”
Quan Rong turned to look out the door, clearly not wanting to answer the question that was unacceptable to him.
Seeing that he was determined, Cang Yi sighed heavily. “You’re stubborn. Ever since you were young, you always refused to listen to me no matter what I said. You always insisted on doing what you wanted. But not this time. I can’t let you fool around anymore. You have to come back with me!”
Quan Rong turned around and walked out.
Cang Yi immediately asked, “Where are you going?”
“I want to stay in Rock City. I’m not going back with you.”
Cang Yi scolded sternly, “Don’t mess around!”
Quan Rong stopped and said word by word, “I’m not fooling around. I just want to try again. Otherwise, even if I go back, I won’t be satisfied. I’ll definitely still think about Shuang Yin. I won’t be able to settle down for the rest of my life. I don’t want to live such a cowardly life!”
Cang Yi was stunned by his brother’s words.
He thought that his brother was just being impulsive and insisted on staying to fight Shuang Yin to the death.
Unexpectedly, Quan Rong had already thought so far ahead.
Indeed, if he still cared about her, he would still miss her in the future even if he forced him to leave.
He might as well work hard to the extreme. If he still couldn’t do it and gave up, at least he’d be without regrets.
Cang Yi sighed. “You won’t turn back until you hit a wall. Forget it. Since you insist on staying, so be it. But I’ll only give you a year. If you still can’t change Shuang Yin’s mind after a year, I’ll come and drag you back myself.”
Quan Rong was delighted and quickly said, “I can definitely win her over. Just wait and see!”
“I hope so.”
…
Cang Yi went to say goodbye to Shuang Yun.
Shuang Yun was overjoyed. The brat who had tried to snatch his precious daughter was finally leaving!
But when he heard Cang Yi say—
“After I leave, I’ll have to trouble you to help take care of my brother. This kid is young and impulsive, but he’s not a bad person. He’s a good child.”
Shuang Yun’s smile froze on his face.
He blurted out, “Your brother is staying in Rock City?”
Cang Yi smiled and nodded. “That’s right. There are many novel and interesting things in your Rock City. He can stay here and broaden his horizons.”
Shuang Yun quickly denied it without thinking. “No!”
“Why?”
“He can’t—”
Before Shuang Yun could finish, Huanhuan interrupted him.
“Sure. Quan Rong is welcome to stay as a guest in Rock City,” Huanhuan said as she quietly pinched Shuang Yun’s lower back, warning him not to lose his temper in front of outsiders.
It didn’t hurt, but out of respect for his mate, Shuang Yun shut up indignantly.
Cang Yi took out a piece wrapped in animal hide and smiled. “We came from afar this time. We hope you can forgive us. This is a specialty of our Blazing Flame Tribe. I hope you like it.”
Huanhuan reached out to take it, but she heard Cang Yi say, “This thing is a little heavy. It’s better to let His Majesty the Beast King pick it up.”
Shuang Yun snorted and muttered, “Why are you pretending to be mysterious?” He then reached out to take the gift.
He opened the hide. Inside was a dark metal object.
Shuang Yun did not know what this was. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Huanhuan cry out, “This is raw iron?!”
Cang Yi and Shuang Yun looked at her at the same time.
Cang Yi said, “So this thing is called raw iron? We’ve always called it black stone.”
Shuang Yun touched the pig iron in his hand and felt that there was nothing special about it except that it was especially hard and heavy.
Huanhuan quickly asked, “How much of this raw iron do you have? Can you sell us some?”
Raw iron was good stuff!
After smelting it, many useful things could be made. The most direct ones were various knives, rakes for plowing, and big pots for cooking…
As long as they had raw iron, the quality of life of the beasts in Rock City would increase greatly!
They would officially enter the Iron Age from the Stone Age!
As Huanhuan was wearing a veiled hat on her head, the veil covered her face, preventing anyone from seeing her glowing eyes.
But from her eager tone, it was obvious that she was determined to get more of this raw iron.
Cang Yi was very generous. “If you want, I can give you some!”
However, Huanhuan said, “We need a lot of it. Even if you’re really willing to give it to us, we’ll be too embarrassed to accept it. Therefore, let’s do this officially and pay according to the market price.”
“Then how much do you want?”
“We’ll take as much as you have.”
Cang Yi was stunned. “Why do you want so much raw iron?”
“It’s not a convenient time to tell you the reason for the time being. Anyway, will you sell it to us?”
There was no reason not to do business. Cang Yi agreed without hesitation. “Yes! Of course!”
Hence, they discussed the raw iron business for a long time.
In the end, the price was finalized.
Huanhuan took out a bulging hide bag. “This is the deposit. Count it yourself. If you’re sure there’s no problem, we’ll sign and sign this contract.”
Cang Yi took the hide bag and pulled it open. It was filled with bright green crystal coins.
Even a dog who had seen many storms couldn’t help but be dazzled.
He was stunned for a moment before pulling the hide bag tightly with trembling hands. He followed Huanhuan’s instructions and pressed his thumbprint on the contract scroll.
Huanhuan put away the scroll. “When are you leaving?”
“I was going to leave later…”
“This is too urgent. Put it off until tomorrow. At that time, I’ll send some people to the Blazing Flame Tribe with you to bring the raw iron over.”
It was just a day’s delay. It was a small matter. Cang Yi nodded without hesitation. “Alright!”
Before leaving, Cang Yi smiled meaningfully. “If Cang Rong can become mates with Princess Shuang Yin, he’ll give you the entire iron mine without accepting even a single crystal!”
Shuang Yun pulled open the door. “Goodbye!”
The implication was for him to get lost!
Cang Yi didn’t mind. He bid farewell to Huanhuan, turned around, and strode away.
When he was far away, Huanhuan poked Shuang Yun’s chest muscles and scolded angrily, “Even if Big Goody’s marriage with Quan Rong doesn’t work out, you’re not allowed to look down on others. You’re a beast king. You have to show your magnanimity and bearing as a beast king!”
Shuang Yun fell into her arms. “I don’t have the magnanimity or bearing of a beast king. I don’t like anyone who dares to snatch my precious daughter!”
