Chapter 69 Ruoduo Turns Against Him, Hu Tao Searches for Wood
"Very good, welcome."
Zhongli nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, may I join you for a get-together with Ah Ping?"
"I'd be happy to accompany you, Ruoduo, don't fall behind."
Zhongli was about to turn around and remind Ruo Tuo when he realized that Ruo Tuo... had fallen behind!
"Hmm... Did Ruoduo get lost?"
"Your Majesty, isn't that the incarnation of the Dragon King Ruotu over there?"
After saying that, Xianyun pointed to a fried food stall.
"Isn't this much tastier than any snack? What a miserable life I had back in the morgue! Give me twenty more servings of fried skewers! No, thirty!"
"Alright, alright, let's explode!"
Ruoduo tried his best to control his drooling and calmly walked to the wooden table next to the fried food stall and sat down.
Zhong Li witnessed this entire scene.
"Ruo Tuo, just try two strings, otherwise it will take too long."
Zhongli had just walked up to Ruoduo when he was about to pull him up.
"No way! I'm going to eat my fill of fried skewers today!"
Ruoduo waved his hand dismissively and then lay down on the bench.
Even if justice prevails, I will not leave!
“In that case, I will not insist. Ruo Tuo, it seems you are confident that you can find the way to Xin Yue Xuan on your own.”
After saying that, Zhongli turned away calmly.
"New Moon Pavilion? I, the Dragon King, have completely forgotten about tonight's delicacies! This low-grade fried skewers are better left uneaten!"
"Morax, wait for me! I was just kidding!"
Ruo Tuo called out to Zhong Li's departing figure while hurriedly getting up in a disheveled state.
No laughing! Just now, it was the Dragon King Ruoduo who was clamoring for fried skewers, but what does that have to do with me, Ruoduo?
I'm just a gluttonous... bah, a sensible dragon.
Liyue Harbor, on the coast.
"The wind is so strong."
Qi Qi walked awkwardly between Hu Tao and Xun Feng, her hands being pulled, making it impossible for her to straighten her hat, which was about to be blown away by the sea breeze.
"Xunfeng, the streets are so lively, what are we doing here?"
Hu Tao turned her head to look at him in confusion.
"Ahem, everyone else in the hall is out strolling in the street, so it's rare to have some time to myself..."
After saying that, Xunfeng prepared to turn his head and look at Hu Tao.
Just then, Qiqi raised her head, breaking the silence.
"I'm still here."
After saying that, Qi Qi slightly pursed her lips.
"Oh dear, Qiqi, why is your hat crooked?"
Hu Tao looked down at the sound and immediately spotted Qi Qi's precariously hanging hat.
So, Hu Tao bent down and helped her straighten her hat.
"Thank you."
Feeling Hu Tao's warmth, Qi Qi reached out and hugged her waist.
"Oh my, Qiqi has even learned to thank people, that's quite rare, haha!"
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Hu Tao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hu Tao, let's go. It's time to find materials to make airtight containers."
"As long as the fundamental power of Dulin's heart is not eliminated, the unknown dangers will only increase."
Upon hearing this, Hu Tao's eyes widened instantly.
"Ah? If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about it... Let me think... The most airtight wood... Purple Tremor Wood!"
"Let's find some purple trembling wood to make a small coffin and lock that power inside."
After saying that, Hu Tao confidently put her hands on her hips.
"Purple trembling wood? I've heard Zhongli mention it; it's often used to make high-end furniture. Is it hard to find?"
"Don't worry about that! The reason why there are so many coffins in my Hall of Rebirth is because I have a regular timber supplier!"
"That's good. Without further ado, let's go and ask the supplier."
--------
Liyue, Lumber Camp.
The logging camp, which is usually extremely noisy, has been unusually quiet these past few days.
"Oh dear, is the logging camp on holiday?"
Hu Tao stood at the gate of the fence, tiptoed, and craned her neck, trying her best to look at the factory buildings in the distance.
"This is troublesome. Should we postpone our trip for a few days?"
Hu Tao hesitated, lowered her head to think of a solution, and then raised her hand to touch her chin.
Meanwhile, Xun Feng had secretly released his light and shadow clones, and in just a few blinks, he had thoroughly explored the entire logging camp.
After withdrawing the light and shadow clones, Xun Feng smiled gently.
"Hu Tao, there's another person in the office inside the factory."
"Oh? That must be the factory manager~ Looks like we're not too late."
After saying that, Hu Tao put aside her thoughts and excitedly pushed open the gate.
Logging yard, office.
"Oh no, the business card the factory manager gave me is gone! How am I supposed to talk to them about cooperation now? I've searched the office for ages, but why didn't the factory manager leave any extra business cards?"
After saying that, A-Qiang angrily ruffled his hair into a mess.
Last night, the factory manager gave A-Qiang a business card and told him to go to the other party's organization tonight to discuss cooperation. If successful, he would be promoted.
But now, he's actually lost his business card!
Left with no other choice, he could only try his luck in the office and find another identical business card.
Just as he was turning all the drawers in his office upside down, there was a knock on the office door.
"Hello, is the factory manager inside?"
Out of politeness, Hu Tao knocked gently on the door.
