Chapter 2756: Chapter 2756: No Matter How Many You Have, I’ll Take Them All
But clearly, they couldn’t say anything about it; after all, who could blame them? He was the emperor’s most beloved youngest son, who was very likely to ascend to that position someday.
He would eventually return to the planes, and still has to live under their rule, right? Isn’t it only natural to hold such a person in reverence, almost like an ancestor?
“Quick, tell me what you brought. Are there any fruits?”
Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng truly rolled his eyes.
Couldn’t even bring enough vegetables and grains, yet thinking of fruits, that’s quite the imagination.
However, this time he really did bring some fruits. Isn’t it because four little babies arrived at their camp? Without some fruits to stabilize the camp, things wouldn’t go well.
“Did bring some.”
“Really?”
The guard’s eyes brightened.
Finally, there was something to explain. That little ancestor kept clamoring for fruits, leaving him completely clueless.
But unfortunately, the fruits from Huayan Peak, even if they had any, weren’t particularly tasty. On their planes, going specifically to buy fruits didn’t just cost a little; it was a huge expense.
So, buying from Gong Cheng was the most convenient option.
“However many there are, I’ll take them all.”
“What are you thinking?”
Gong Cheng glared at him, as if the fruits just fell from the sky. They were, in fact, prepared for their second brother and sister-in-law’s little ones.
“Those fruits are prepared for Zheng’er, at most I’ll spare a few for you.”
“What? Only a few?”
The guard’s face fell upon hearing there were only a few left.
The intention wasn’t to give Gong Cheng a sour look; thinking of the little ancestor at the camp, just getting a few fruits would undoubtedly lead to being heavily scolded again.
But, serving the little ancestor was the order given by the lord himself. He didn’t even need to guard the protected ground now, just the little ancestor. Guards of the protected ground would take turns giving him benefits.
No choice, really, since no one wanted the task of serving the little ancestor; they’d rather offer benefits for him to take the task.
“Even a few come from the mouths of my dear nephews, yet you…”
“Cough, cough cough!”
Gong Cheng wanted to refuse but stopped when he heard someone coughing beside him.
“Brother Gong, why don’t you spare me a few more? Tomorrow you could make another trip, and bring more for those two nephews of yours, wouldn’t that work?”
Seeing Gong Cheng not responding, the guard quickly smiled.
It’s not like he wanted this, truly had no other choice. Otherwise, how could a guard of an Intermediate Plane shamelessly ask someone from a Low-Level Plane for help?
Even if the camp had produced an inter-plane traveler, they all thought that once Qian Jiyun became an inter-plane traveler, he belonged to an independent entity, having little to do with the Battle Cloud Camp.
“Since you put it that way, I’ll give you some more. But you better not spill the beans. After we sell these grains, I’ll hand over the fruits to you.”
Gong Cheng finally relented, aware that with his second brother and sister-in-law here, fruits were never in short supply. But he was a businessman, knowing when to raise the price.
“Good, good, it’s settled then.” The guard was overjoyed, quickly agreeing.
The two spoke softly, so others didn’t hear much of it, merely assuming they were discussing vegetables and grains. Only after the guard left Gong Cheng’s side, did everyone rush over to him.
