593 They Can’t Protect Them at All
“Second Sister-in-law, do you have any bowls and chopsticks? Give me a set too,” he asked An Jiuyue with a smile, rubbing his hands.
An Jiuyue could not do anything about Gong Cheng’s personality.
He would call her Second Sister-in-law for the sake of benefits, but his attitude would change once he ate and drank his fill. He was not ashamed of it at all.
She was sure she was more thick-skinned than Qian Jiyun but definitely not more so than Gong Cheng.
However, she did not argue with Gong Cheng over his thoughtless words precisely because of his personality. Honestly, he did not have any vicious intentions—he was just frequently exploited because he was brainless.
She looked toward a kitchen cupboard in the tent. “There’s some over there. Go and get them yourself.”
She could not store her other items in her tent, but she needed a cupboard to be ready for people barging in without thinking, like Gong Cheng.
“Okay! Thank you, Second Sister-in-law.”
Gong Cheng was overjoyed to hear that. He turned around to get the bowls and chopsticks.
“Second Brother, I’m not criticizing you, but it’s too inconvenient to eat something good at your place here. You must come up with something.”
He sat down and ate as he spoke to his second brother.
The food here was too disgusting. He would always feel awful as he watched everyone eat in the kitchen area when he went there to eat.
He felt bad for himself because he had to eat such disgusting food again.
However, he had no choice. If he did not eat, he would starve. And if he starved, he would not have the strength to work and cultivate.
Qian Jiyun looked at Gong Cheng and said, “Cultivate well. When you’re successful at cultivating Original Soul energy, I’ll send you a team of people and horses to input supplies for us.”
Gong Cheng was speechless.
He would rather go to the protected grounds to kill demonic beasts than transport supplies. It was too tiring.
“No, Second Brother, I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to… I didn’t think much of it. I… I was just saying it casually. I was really just saying it casually.”
In any case, he would rather die than do anything like transporting supplies. Anyone who wanted to go could!
“Huayan Peak is in Daqing Kingdom’s territory. Can’t they choose a few villages near the Snow Domain to provide seasonal vegetables for us?” An Jiuyue asked.
“Oh, Second Sister-in-law, you’re oversimplifying things.” Gong Cheng waved at An Jiuyue as he ate.
“If it’s really that simple, it’d be great. We don’t even need much. Second Brother can just buy a large piece of land nearby and send people to grow vegetables.
“But things aren’t that simple. More than half of the vegetables will freeze once they enter the Snow Domain. Let’s not even talk about getting them across the Fire Domain.”
He shook his head, then shook it again.
It was already very impressive for an Original Soul energy cultivator to protect themselves and have some external defense abilities.
But they might not be able to protect something too big, even if they wanted to.
“People like Yan Nuo and the others might have brought so much white rice and food this time, but do you think they can bring a few more kilograms of vegetables?
“Of course not! The vegetables are too big. They can’t protect them at all,” he said.
Of course, if Yan Nuo and the others could not protect all the vegetables, he could not either. He knew his place.
