Chapter 193: The Great Magic – Xiang City (3)

After we’ve traveled a bit further, she’ll follow Granny Xiang. If everyone can regroup in Xiang City, let’s meet at the west gate at dawn, and then head towards Rose City together.

Just then, Xi Rui suddenly said, “Ah Chu, we’ve entered so many cities along the way, there’s no need to keep hoarding everything.”

She said this to remind everyone not to buy everything they see. Her own storage was already full, and Sang Chu had given her a lot too. The more she thought about it, the more she felt Sang Chu was a great leader, so she didn’t want to see her waste all her resources, with everyone ending up buying a bunch of useless junk.

Sang Chu replied, “It’s fine if you don’t keep anything. I have my own ways of managing things. Buy whatever you want. As for the other cities, we’ll talk about them later.”

As she finished speaking, Bei Xin walked over and handed her a card, saying, “Miss, this is your storage card. All the items have been cleared out. Whatever you need, just use it directly.”

This was a low-level card. You only needed to use a spell to activate it, no need for a blood bond. Of course, if you wanted to bond it with your blood, you could.

“Alright.”

Bei Xin continued, “Miss, this is a map of Xiang City. I only have three copies, all for you.”

Sang Chu glanced at the huge map in her hand and felt a bit overwhelmed.

“Just give me one. Bei Xin, you and Granny Xiang go together. The rest of us will wander around and see if there’s anything interesting.”

Bei Xin felt a bit disappointed that she wasn’t needed anymore. Although she was a bit reluctant to leave, she actually preferred exploring on her own.

“Okay, I’ll make sure to keep him company and explore properly!”

“Alright, then I’ll leave the rest to you, Granny Xiang. We’ll take our leave now.”

“Alright, let’s go, Miss.”

The group split up and went their separate ways at the intersection.

Sang Chu sat in the carriage, looking at Xue You, who seemed a bit annoyed by the surroundings. She handed him a pill and said with a helpless smile, “Your Majesty, please bear with me for a bit. I need to go see the city lord for a trade. If I want to get out of this unscathed, your presence is essential. You’ve already used up so many of my herbs in my space, so please help me out this once!”

Xue You was holding a demon fruit, enjoying it thoroughly. He was still dressed in white, barefoot on the fluffy carpet. “Alright, what kind of trade are you making with him? I’ve already given you so many crystals.”

“The world I come from has suffered a major disaster and is in the process of rebuilding, so I need a lot of resources—lots and lots. These crystals alone aren’t enough!”

“So you’re planning to sell off your stuff here?”

After entering Sang Chu’s storage space, he realized that the roses he once worshipped were actually quite ordinary!

To him, even roses brimming with magic power were just pretty flowers in Sang Chu’s eyes.

“Yes, but I can’t sell too many. Roses with strong magic power are very attractive here, so I can only sell more of the fragrant but less magical ones.”

Xue You said, “Then I suggest you sell him your sunflowers as well.”

“Why?”

“Are you dumb? This is Xiang City, but look around—do you see a single real flower? In Rose City, at least the imperial city has some, but here in the main city, I haven’t seen a single one. That means Xiang City doesn’t cultivate flowers. If they can’t even grow a single sunflower over such a long period, then Xiang City is basically finished—this whole area is the most depleted by magic.”

Sang Chu looked at him in shock. “Really? Why didn’t Xi Rui tell me that?”

“What does she know? Only the Demon King and the city lord know this kind of information. You can say you’re an envoy sent by the emperor to inspect the cultivation of sunflowers. You arrived via magic directly at the Galaxy Sea, and when you saw there were no real flowers in Xiang City, you came to investigate. As for how many crystals to ask for, that’s up to you. When the time comes, I’ll act as your attendant. With me there, you’ll be even more convincing.”

Sang Chu nodded. “That does sound more credible. But you haven’t been out in a long time. You said earlier that white and purple cards are rare—can Xi Rui even buy them?”

Xue You rolled his eyes. “She just got lucky!”

“Alright, I’ll head to the city lord’s mansion first. I’ll leave this to you.”

Sang Chu handed him a set of wizard’s robes and shoes. He couldn’t keep going barefoot, after all.

Xue You looked at the clothes she handed over, momentarily lost in thought. He didn’t refuse, but just tossed them aside. Sang Chu simply placed them on him, saying, “Look for yourself. If you don’t want to wear them, that’s fine.”

She activated the light map. It was a map drawn by Sang Jingwen, and the copy in her hand was one he’d given both her and Lu Min. [This map is great, but it’s too detailed and the area is huge, so it’s a pain to look at. I suggest everyone use a light map robot for navigation—it’s much easier.]

This was a magical world, so the light map robot was a small ball. Although it looked odd, everyone just thought of it as a special magic tool and didn’t pay much attention.

While Sang Chu was reading the light map, she didn’t notice Xue You curiously poking at the little ball. “What is this thing? It doesn’t have any magic power, so why does it glow?”

Sang Chu patted the light map. The palm-sized little ball stretched out tiny limbs and rolled over to Xue You, the two of them staring at each other for a long time.

“This is a light map, a light map robot. Xiang City is huge, so with this, it’s much more convenient for me.”

“Xiao Guang, show me the way to the city lord’s mansion.”

“Okay, master~”

Suddenly, Xiao Guang’s storage compartment was filled with all sorts of strange items. Its fluffy little hand grabbed one and enlarged it. “Master, look, this is the fastest route to the city lord’s mansion.”

Xue You stared at the magical display, dumbfounded. “It doesn’t have any magic power, so how can it do this?”

Sang Chu replied, “This isn’t magic—it’s high technology. It’s not from your world at all!”

“Does your world have this?”

Sang Chu shook her head. “No, it’s from another world. Just like I can travel between worlds, I can also get things from other worlds. I got this from somewhere else.”

“Alright then, next time you go to another world, take me with you. I want to go sightseeing too.”

He’d been cooped up for too long, only able to come out at night to hunt. He was really looking forward to exploring.

“Okay.”
