Potato City, Underground Treasure Chamber of Commerce.
Mrs. Shafuna, the president of the Underground Treasure Chamber of Commerce, looked ahead melancholy.
In front of her, Laura was lying on the sofa in her office, staring blankly at a brown, translucent wine bottle.
This wine bottle contains the [Fantasy Mushroom Wine] delivered by Seven Pigeons.
Laura pressed the cap of the bottle with one finger and lifted the bottle up at an angle.
Her slender fingers moved back and forth on the wine bottle, causing it to spin continuously.
This scene has been going on for a long time.
"ε=(′ο｀＊))) Alas"
Mrs. Shafuna sighed softly.
At this time, my daughter should have been running excitedly into the wild to kill wild monsters.
But now she has become like this.
No matter how Mrs. Shafuna thought, she could only think of that dinner.
"Tsk. Qi Ge, that bastard, relied on his good looks to seduce Laura's soul.
I really shouldn't have left Qi Ge and Lola alone.
The same thing goes for Xiang Chong, that bastard. How could he push his own daughter into the fire pit? "
Mrs. Shafuna regretted her decision.
In her heart, Shafuna was actually very happy that Laura and Qi Ge had a relationship.
However, as a mother, she was more or less worried about the future of both of them.
Qi Ge is Agede's student and will definitely be the backbone of Bracada in the future.
Laura is his daughter, and he is Shilika's confidant. Laura has been bound to Nigong since birth.
Unfortunately, Nigong and Bracada are irreconcilable enemies, and the disputes have never stopped since the founding of the two countries.
Even if we don’t talk about the hostility between the forces that Qi Ge and Laura belong to, let’s just talk about their identities.
Qi Ge is the only apprentice of the legendary architect Aged, and is destined to be a big figure who shines brightly in the entire Asian world in the future.
Laura's identity is somewhat understandable in Potato City, but compared with Qi Ge, it's like heaven and earth.
Mrs. Shafona is not the kind of naive little girl who would hold a picture book and fantasize about "The Domineering Legend Falls in Love with Me".
She knew very well that in a marriage with a huge gap in status, the weaker party would always suffer the most.
“Let’s not talk about whether Qi Ge is interested in Laura or not.
Even if there is.
I can't get past Aged either.
Taking a step back, even if Aged passed the test, Qi Ge and Lola successfully combined.
If Qi Ge treats Laura badly in the future, I will be powerless to help and can only watch Laura destroy herself.
..."
"well."
Madame Safona sighed again.
She couldn't bear to see Laura's appearance, so she said:
"Laura, take the key and go to your dad's place, help him open the door, and then bring your dad over. I have something to discuss with him."
"Bang"
Laura held the bottle down with her palm.
As if her thoughts were disturbed, she took a deep breath, reluctantly got up from the sofa, and took the key from Shafna.
"Got it. I'll go right away."
Mrs. Shafna looked at Laura distressedly and comforted her:
“Lola, let me tell you.
Based on my experience as a mother, Qi Ge must be a scumbag.
Even if he was crushed into pieces, it would not be enough for each of the girls around him to share a piece.
You must not fall in love with him."
"Gah!"
Laura's neck shrank, her shoulders shook, and she waved her hands wildly, almost throwing the key out.
"Mom! Mom! What are you talking about! I have no interest in Qi Gecai.
No interest at all!
He, he, he has no other advantages except that he dances better and has bigger movements.
How could I fancy him? "
Seeing Laura's attempt to hide her true intentions, Mrs. Shafna's eyes were filled with nostalgia.
Otherwise, how can you say she is your biological daughter?
When I first fell in love with Xiang Chong, I looked exactly like Laura does now.
I obviously love you to death, but you just won't admit it no matter what anyone says.
There were so many loopholes, but he thought he had covered them up well.
Mrs. Shafna gently did not expose Laura. She just gently helped Laura tidy up her messy hair and said softly:
“It’s good that you didn’t see it.
Go find your father and come over here."
"Hmm." Laura pouted.
[If Shafuna asks about the seven pigeons, what is the appropriate answer? ]
Regarding this question, Laura made up a lot of things in her mind in a short time, but Shafuna didn't ask any more questions.
This made Laura feel like all her strength was hitting the air, with nowhere to use it.
She glanced at Shafna suspiciously, and confirmed that Shafna was just smiling gently and had no intention of continuing to test her.
This made Laura feel relieved.
"No, we can't stay here for long."
Just as Laura was about to leave Shafuna's office to look for Xiang Chong, there was a hurried knock on the door.
"President! President! His Highness Qi Ge is here and is asking for a meeting at the door of the Chamber of Commerce!"
"Gah!"
In the office, Laura was startled and panicked.
"Why is Qi Ge here? Is he here to see me? Ah!! Why doesn't he come secretly? What if mom finds out?"
…
…
The seventh pigeon finally arrived.
When Mrs. Shafna heard the news, she felt relieved.
She knew very well in her mind that Qi Ge came this time to ask her for an answer regarding the [Slave Trade Project].
Shafuna slapped Lola's petite butt gently, squeezing her butt hard.
"Ah! Mom, what are you doing?"
“Laura, go out through the small door and call your dad quickly.
After that, just rest in your room and don't come here to make trouble.
We have something serious to discuss with Qi Ge."
Hearing Shafna's calm tone, Laura couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Mom, what do you want to talk to Qi Ge about? Why are you so serious?
Are you guys having a conflict?
Could there be any misunderstanding? Qi Ge is a good person."
This girl!
Hearing Laura's words, Shafuna was both angry and amused.
She gave Lola's butt a hard squeeze.
"Don't ask so many questions, it's none of your business.
Go find your dad quickly."
"oh."
Seeing Laura reluctant to leave and looking back every ten steps, Mrs. Shafna sighed in her heart again.
She never thought that she would end up taking her daughter away just to attend a party.
There were so many young ladies and descendants of legends at the banquet, but Qi Ge didn't want to offend them, but they just happened to target his daughter.
I really don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Now is not the time to be sentimental, business is what’s important.
After sorting herself out, Shafna fixed her hair and opened her closet.
…
…
When Qi Ge saw Shafuna, he almost didn't recognize her.
In Qi Ge's impression, Mrs. Shafna has always been a very charming woman who knows how to use her charm.
Whether it was the first time I met her or at the dinner party, Mrs. Shafna's clothes always showed off her proud figure while wrapping herself tightly.
But this time, Mrs. Shafna not only wore a veil, but also a wide cloak, hiding her curves completely.
"Your Highness Qi Ge, your arrival brings honor to our Chamber of Commerce."
Mrs. Shafna stood at the door and bowed to the seven pigeons from a distance.
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said:
“You’re welcome, Madam Shafuna.
I am here this time to discuss something I discussed with you last time at the dinner."
"We are already prepared. Please come in and discuss in detail."
Shafna lowered her head slightly , and her tone sounded very sincere.
"Okay. Let's do it."
When Qi Ge stepped onto the stairs, the dark elf guards on both sides of the stairs straightened their backs and stood upright.
Qi Ge followed Shafuna into her office.
Under Shafona's guidance, Qi Ge sat on the sofa.
As soon as Qi Ge sat down, his nose twitched twice.
He smelled a light scent of green pear mixed with peach blossoms.
"Hmm? This smell? It's a little familiar, as if I've smelled it somewhere before."
Before Qi Ge had time to think about it, Shafuna had already sat next to Qi Ge.
She held a map in her hand and gently placed it in front of Qi Ge.
"Your Highness Qi Ge, please look."
Qi Ge glanced at the map in confusion.
Judging from the terrain, the map should show a mountainous area.
In the middle of the hills, there is an oval basin. In the center of the basin, a circle is drawn with a red marker, and inside the circle is a caveman vividly drawn.
"Mrs. Shafuna, what is this?"
"This is a tribe of cavemen located near our Potato City, with a total population of about 400 to 600.
Their ancestors were slaves in our Potato City, who were responsible for planting and harvesting potatoes.
About four years ago, they defected from our potato city to the wild, where they have since settled down.
Chief Xilika was unwilling to hunt them down, so he just let them fend for themselves.
In other words, they are nomadic tribes that are not registered with Black Dragon City."
Shafna's voice was very calm.
“It’s only fitting that they serve as the start of our collaboration.”
Qi Ge raised his eyebrows, and a slight smile appeared on his thin lips.
"So, Madam Shafuna, you have made up your mind to cooperate with me?"
Shafuna sighed softly and said resentfully:
“What is decided and what is not decided.
From the moment you told me that Bracada and Nigon were going to go to war, I had no choice.
Chief Xilika will definitely go to the battlefield. What else can our small Chamber of Commerce do if we don’t find a big tree to shelter us from the wind and rain? "
"Hahahaha!" Qi Ge laughed loudly and waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no, no, the wind and rain are strong and I can't stop it."
Mrs. Shafna looked a little aggrieved:
“Your Highness the Seventh Pigeon.
You said before that as a condition for us to provide you with intelligence, you have to provide a guarantee for our Underground Treasure Chamber of Commerce.
You will buy up all the minerals and potatoes that others cannot consume.
But now, Bracada and Nigun are about to go to war, and both potatoes and minerals will become scarce commodities with demand exceeding supply.
We can't even sell them all, so how can we have any surplus to cover you?
We provide you with information, you can't just take it for nothing, right?"
"Haha, of course not."
Qi Ge smiled and felt secretly happy in her heart.
What he is least afraid of is negotiating terms.
The prerequisite for negotiating conditions is that both parties have reached a basic consensus, and the cooperation is already halfway accomplished.
This situation is much better than Shafona's previous rejection.
“Mrs. Shafuna.
In exchange for your help in providing me with information, what kind of help do you need me to provide you?
It's okay, just ask, I'll do my best."
Mrs. Shafuna hesitated for a moment and said:
"Regarding this question..."
"Let's talk about this issue between the two of us."
Shafuna was halfway through her words when Xiang Chong, dressed in gorgeous attire, walked out of the room.
Xiang Chong's clothes highlight a broad and mighty appearance.
Full iron chain mail, gorgeous metal leggings, tough lizard gloves...
The whole set of clothes, if worn by any normal man, can be described as heroic, mighty and powerful.
But the person wearing this outfit is Xiang Chong.
That pretty little face that belonged to a male concubine really didn't match the outfit.
Although Xiang Chong is a male concubine, he still looks like a cute girl dressed as a man.
emm……
No matter how Qi Ge looked at it, the only phrase that came to his mind was “Women are as good as men.”
This idea was undoubtedly very rude, and Qi Ge quickly said sorry to Yves Jane in his heart.
When Yves Jane arrived, Shafna immediately stood up from beside Qi Ge.
She held Yves Jane's hand and sat with Yves Jane opposite Qi Ge.
Qi Ge had investigated before and found out that the Underground Treasure Chamber of Commerce had always been headed by Madam Shafuna, and Yves Jane rarely appeared.
But looking at their current situation, it seems that Yves Jane has more say?
Quite interesting.
Qi Ge knocked on the table lightly and took the initiative:
"Mr. Jian, what exactly do you mean by talking between the two of us?"
Yves Jane smiled and said:
“Your Highness Qi Ge, I’m sorry for hiding this from you before.
Yves Jane is just my pseudonym. My real name is Xiang Chong.
You can just call me by my real name."
"Xiang Chong, Chong family?" Qi Ge repeated with some surprise, his eyes lighting up.
"Are you a royal from the pet concubine clan?"
Xiang Chong opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and Shafuna's hand holding Xiang Chong's arm suddenly tightened.
The conversation suddenly fell silent. After two seconds, Xiang Chong smiled and said:
"right!
I am indeed a member of the guardian family of the concubines. Of course, it is not wrong to say that I am a member of the royal family.
I never thought that Your Highness Qi Ge actually knew the secrets of our concubine family.
Your Highness Qi Ge, you are indeed very knowledgeable."
Oh my god, it’s true!
The seven pigeons were startled.
In his previous life, he had a very good understanding of the clan of concubines and had learned all the necessary details.
But as for the royal family of concubines, he had only heard of them and had never seen them.
The pet concubine clan and the succubus clan are very similar in appearance and have many similarities in temperament.
Although they have many differences, it is extremely difficult to distinguish between a concubine and a succubus unless one has done in-depth research on the two races.
It just so happens that Qi Ge’s research is very deep, at least 18 centimeters deep.
First of all, it is racial habits.
If the succubus clan is likened to a 30-year-old divorced girl without children, the concubine clan is the pure JK.
Succubi are born dissolute and have been tortured by the curse of abyssal desire since adulthood.
The pet concubines are timid by nature and seem pure, but once they fall into it, they will quickly fall into evil and be more proactive than succubus.
Succubi are only female, so they must rely on outsiders to reproduce. At the same time, the succubus bloodline is strong, so it is extremely difficult to produce hybrids.
There are both male and female pet concubines, and their bloodlines are relatively mild, making it easy to produce mixed-bloods.
There is no distinction between superiors and subordinates in the succubus clan. Regardless of their rank and bloodline, they are all called sisters, and almost all succubi will gain the ability to cast spells when they reach adulthood.
The family of concubines is divided into ordinary concubines and royal family, and only the royal family can be born with the ability to cast spells.
It is also said that after becoming heroes, the royal family of the pet concubine clan will also gain many unique and rare auxiliary skills as a reward from the Mother Goddess Yasha.
Qi Ge once conducted a detailed investigation into the history of concubines and succubi.
Succubi are a race that followed the Abyss when the Abyss entered the world of Yasa.
The pet concubines are a new race that was born in the Yasa world more than a hundred years after the Hell force centered on the Abyss was established.
Qi Ge believes that the pet concubine was born after the collision and fusion of the rules of the abyss and the rules of the Yasha world.
Let me give you an example that isn't so appropriate.
Succubus is the biological daughter of Abyss, and Pet Concubine is the second child born after Abyss and Yasa reunited.
Forehead……
This metaphor is indeed quite inappropriate.
Because the Mother of the Abyss is female, the Mother Goddess Asa is also female.
But Qi Ge really couldn't think of a more appropriate metaphor.
Having said that, since Xiang Chong is a member of the royal family of Chongji, it means that Xiang Chong’s daughter Laura also has the blood of the royal family of Chongji.
It seems that Laura's potential is greater than I thought!
Just when Qi Ge was in a daze, Xiang Chong spoke.
“Your Highness Qige, whether I am a member of the guardian clan of your concubine or not is now a thing of the past.
Now, I am just the husband of the president of the [Underground Treasure Chamber of Commerce]. Other than that, I don’t have any other identity.
You mentioned to us before that we [Underground Treasure Chamber of Commerce] would be happy to help you collect intelligence on the underground tribe.
To be honest, we are willing to help you even if you don't provide us with anything.
It would be even better if you could agree to our two small requests."
ask?!
Qi Ge was keenly aware of the information about the hidden mission.
"What request? Feel free to ask."
Xiang Chong glanced at Qi Ge and said in a deep voice:
“We hope that you can provide shelter to Lord Shilika when Bracada and Nigon go to war.
We dare not ask for anything, we just hope that you can help Chief Xilika not to die in battle."
Qi Ge: ???
"Wait a minute, did you guys make a mistake?
I am just an ordinary hero, but Lord Xilika is a true legend.
How can I guarantee that Lord Xilika will not die in battle?"
Xiang Chong stared at Qi Ge seriously and said firmly:
“Because you are the Seventh Dove.
I am sure that as long as you don't want Lord Xilika to die, Lord Xilika will not die!"
Qi Ge's pupils shrank.
He looked at Xiang Chong intently, and Xiang Chong looked at him unwaveringly.
Mrs. Shafna also held her breath nervously, leaning her whole body on Xiang Chong.
The field fell silent for a moment, with only the tiny crackling sound of the [fluorescent stone] burning in the room.
After a long time, Qi Ge suddenly laughed.
“Oh, interesting.
Mr. Xiang Chong, you are more interesting than I thought.
In that case, I agree to this condition.
When a war breaks out between Nigon and Bracada, I can guarantee that Lord Xilika will not die in the war."
As soon as Qi Ge finished speaking, Shafuna seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and her stiff body softened completely.

Qi Ge leaned back in his chair and asked:
"Mr. Chong, Mrs. Shafuna, do you have another request?"
"Another request..."
When Xiang Chong was halfway through his words, Mrs. Shafona suddenly held Xiang Chong's hand tightly and looked at him worriedly.
Xiang Chong did not turn around to look at Shafuna's expression.
He simply used his other hand to gently pat the back of Shafna's tense hand.
Xiang Chong then said:
“We have one more request.
We hope that Laura can take you as her teacher and follow you to train until Laura becomes a hero or the war between Bracada and Nigon ends."

"oh!"
Qi Ge's heart moved.
Isn’t this like giving me a pillow when I’m sleepy?
I was still thinking about how to abduct Laura, and you brought her to my door?
Xiang Chong is quite smart!
Qi Ge had to admit that he liked Xiang Chong even more.
Although it hasn't reached the point of adding another man to another or forcing a man to lock up another man, there is still some appreciation for it.
After hearing Xiang Chong's words, Shafuna's expression was obviously a little resentful.
She looked towards Xiang Chong with a somewhat resentful look in her eyes.
Qi Ge seemed to be able to hear Mrs. Shafna saying from her eyes: "You damn ghost, you finally said this!"
Xiang Chong then added: “Your Highness Qi Ge, Laura has been with us since she was a child, and she has some experience in account calculations, business negotiations, potato planting, and ore mining.
You may not know this, but Lola is also obsessed with fighting.
She is the captain of our Potato City Guard. She has embarked on the road to heroism through her own efforts and is a genuine semi-heroic unit.
I can proudly say that my daughter is top-notch in terms of gift, ability, and character.
She will never cause you any trouble if she stays with you.
Of course, she is still far behind you.
We hope that you can help her take care of her and teach her some life and combat experience."
Qi Ge's eyes were clear.
Don't worry, brother. I will not be stingy with either life experience or combat experience.
