Chapter 250: Chapter 252: Dumbfounded

Wolf Clan Tribe.

Seeing Su Yang sigh, Su Luoluo smiled and comforted him, "Don’t worry, Father. I have another way."

"Another way? What way?"

They had only been able to protect the Salt Well Cave because of Su Luoluo’s purification technique. But now that the city-state had the same technology, they no longer had an advantage.

Su Yang couldn’t imagine what else Su Luoluo could do.

Su Luoluo gave a faint smile. "I was originally planning to save this as my trump card for later, but it looks like I’ll have to play it early. I can actually make the salt’s purity even higher."

"You can make the salt even purer?" Su Yang was incredulous.

The salt Su Luoluo purified was already white and fine enough. How could she possibly have another method to make it even purer?

Su Yang was stunned for a moment. "Really? How would you purify it?"

Su Luoluo gave a mysterious smile and patted Su Yang’s shoulder. "It’s true, but it will take me a few days to get it done."

"As long as there’s a way, that’s what matters. Just tell me if you need any help."

"I won’t need to trouble you with this, Father. But there is something else I need you to do."

"What is it?"

Su Luoluo leaned in and whispered a few words in Su Yang’s ear. After listening, he patted his chest. "No problem. Your father guarantees he’ll get it done right."

After leaving Su Yang’s room, Su Luoluo went to the outdoor kitchen.

Several of her beastman mates were there, carving wood to make toys.

With several new cubs born, they had to make some things for them.

Su Luoluo glanced over and, at first, thought everything looked quite normal. There were wooden wolves, wooden snakes, and wooden teething sticks.

But then she noticed a large number of wooden mermaids, wooden fish, wooden bowls, and wooden spoons.

And these items were far more exquisitely crafted than the others.

Mo Xuan blew on the wooden mermaid in his hand and showed it off. "My mermaid is so beautiful. The little female will definitely love it."

"Hmph, her fish tail hasn’t even come in yet, why would she like that? My jeweled fish is much better. It’s red and green and looks so sparkly."

Su Luoluo was speechless.

’They’re all just toys, but the treatment for the male cubs and the little female is worlds apart.’

To take good care of the little female, Nantu had been staying in the water for several days straight. Su Luoluo hadn’t seen him in a while, but she didn’t expect the other Beast Fathers to be so enthusiastically preparing toys for the baby girl.

Bai Meng was off to the side, carving something from the bone of a Saber-toothed Tiger. Hearing footsteps, he looked up, pleasantly surprised. "Luoluo, you’re here?"

Su Luoluo nodded. "Are you guys making things for the cubs?"

Before Bai Meng could speak, Xi Yi rushed forward, holding up a wooden ball he’d made, fishing for a compliment. "Luoluo, what do you think? This ball I made is pretty good, right?"

Su Luoluo looked at it. The ball was indeed very well made—smooth and a bit like a soccer ball from the Post-apocalypse. She had no idea how Xi Yi had figured out how to make it.

She nodded. "It’s very nice."

Hearing this, Xi Yi’s lips curved into a smile, and he reached out to wrap an arm around her waist.

But Mo Xuan bumped him aside with his hip, holding out the mermaid for Su Luoluo to see. "Luoluo, how’s mine?"

Su Luoluo glanced at it. The mermaid was well-carved, but the color choice... Why did he have to make it black? Su Luoluo gave a reluctant nod.

Seeing this, Fu Feng was about to bring his creation over too, but Su Luoluo quickly cut in, "I have something I need your help with."

At her words, Bai Meng, who had been grinding the bone, hurried over, his eyes shining. "What is it? Luoluo, leave it to me! I’ll definitely do a great job."

Su Luoluo glanced at them all. "This is a bit urgent. It would be best if all of you helped."

"What is it?"

Su Luoluo whispered a few words to them, and soon after, the group left together.

A few days later, they followed Su Luoluo’s instructions and finally finished making the item.

The men looked at the white object before them in amazement. They were surprised that Luoluo could create something so fine, which she claimed could purify salt.

Su Luoluo didn’t explain much. She took the item, purified some salt with it, and then gave the salt to Su Yang.

This time, Su Yang once again had Yi De, Er De, and San De sell the salt on the road leading to the city-state. However, the price wasn’t the previous five white crystals, but a full ten Purple Crystals.

The beastmen who had bought salt from the trio before saw them selling again and thought they could snag another good deal.

But to their surprise, the price of the salt had shot up to ten Purple Crystals.

Ten Purple Crystals!

That was five Beast Crystals more expensive than the city-state’s refined white salt.

Although the quality of their salt was good, it wasn’t that much different from the city-state’s premium salt. On what grounds were they charging so much?

Seeing everyone’s skeptical expressions, Yi De waved his hand. "Don’t be hasty, everyone. Our salt is even better than last time. You can take a look before you decide."

The crowd was still doubtful, but in the next moment, they saw salt that was even finer and whiter than before.

Everyone couldn’t help but marvel.

"What kind of salt is this? It’s much better than the city-state’s new premium salt."

"Yeah, the price is a bit steep, but this salt is definitely worth ten Purple Crystals."

When the news reached the city-state’s grand hall, Dongfang Luanhe was also surprised. "You’re saying that group from last time is selling it for ten Purple Crystals now?"

"Yes, Young Master. I bought some. The quality is indeed excellent."

Hearing this, Dongfang Luanhe beckoned to him. "Let me see."

An identical Beast Skin Bag was handed over. Dongfang Luanhe took it and found the salt was even whiter and finer than what he had seen before. It even felt exceptionally smooth to the touch.

Those three managing to produce salt finer than the city-state’s last time had already been surprising enough. He never expected the salt they made this time would be even finer.

He frowned. "Did they leave again, just like last time?"

Lu Ming nodded. "I followed the Young Master’s orders and didn’t pursue them."

Dongfang Luanhe rubbed the salt between his fingers, pondering for a moment before saying, "Go and bring that female here."

Lu Ming acknowledged with a "Yes," and before long, he brought Su Nuannuan over.

When Su Nuannuan heard that Dongfang Luanhe had summoned her, her face lit up with joy. She was about to shoot him a flirtatious glance when she heard him look at her pointedly and ask, "You said last time that you’re very good at salt making?"

Thinking Dongfang Luanhe was admiring her, Su Nuannuan nodded smugly. "Yes."

"Then how good is your salt making technique?"

Su Nuannuan held her head high. "No one in the entire Beast World Continent is better than me."

’Su Luoluo knows how, too, but I’m the one who got to him first!’

’I showed my face to Dongfang Luanhe before Su Luoluo did. No matter what anyone says, my salt making technique is the best.’

"Is that so?" Dongfang Luanhe looked at her with amusement. "Who taught you this salt making technique?"

Su Nuannuan insisted, "I figured it out myself through my own research."

"Oh, you figured it out yourself? How impressive. Then help me take a look at this. Can you purify this salt?" After speaking, Dongfang Luanhe handed her the newly acquired bag of salt.

Su Nuannuan took it with a confident expression. "Don’t worry, I can definitely produce it."

"Really?"

Su Nuannuan nodded, guaranteeing, "I will definitely make the salt very fine."

However, the moment she took the salt into her hands, she was dumbfounded. ’What kind of salt is this? How can it be so fine?’
