Chapter 673: Come Get More Next Time

After Zhi returned from getting salt from Qian Jia, she said to Ning Shu, Jia told you to get salt yourself. I feel like shes not happy.

Ning Shu was currently flipping the salted meat to stop it from smelling. When she heard what Zhi said, she asked, Shes not happy?

Yeah, she said to have you go yourself to get salt. Shes not happy because Ive been asking for too much salt, said Zhi. I feel like theres something between you and Jia.

What could there be? remarked Ning Shu offhandedly. She glanced at the salt in Zhis hand. In a bit, Ill got hunt a bit more, then we can salt it.

Zhi nodded. Why dont you go look for Jia now? I feel like shes not happy with us and we still need to get salt from her in the future.

Ning Shu nodded, then grabbed some dry gra.s.s to wipe off the oil on her hands. Ill go right now.

Ning Shu went to the cave Qian Jia and Rui lived in. There was an area cleared out in front of Qian Jias cave entrance that was fenced. There were some vegetables, bright red chilies, and some very small tomatoes planted there.

To the side, there were grape trellis that had little strings of purple grapes. It looked like a standard farmers house.

Ning Shu stopped at the door and called, Jia.

When Qian Jia came out of the cave and saw Ning Shu, she was a little surprised. Then she asked with a smile, Cao, why are you here?

Ning Shu said, Jia, I want some salt. Zhi told me to come get it.

When Qian Jia heard what Ning Shu said, a trace of delight and dislike flashed through her eyes. She was delighted that this cold and aloof female beastman still had to humbly come ask for salt, but she didnt like the fact that she asked directly for salt. It wasnt like she owed this beastman anything.

Even though this beastman was asking for something, she was still being so aloof.

People sure became ent.i.tled when you helped them too much. What right did these people have to expect her to do things for them? Could it be that she didnt get tired from boiling salt? That she didnt need to spend time to do these things?

Qian Jia was willing to give these beastmen salt, but that didnt mean that she would give it to anyone who asked, especially if the person was asking with this att.i.tude. It wasnt like she owed this female beastman anything.

Qian Jia had gotten used to being praised to high heavens by everyone, so she disliked Ning Shus att.i.tude a lot.

When Ning Shu saw that Qian Jia wasnt speaking, she asked, I cant get salt? Theres no more?

Qian Jia smiled and her dimples appeared as she said, Arent you using it with Zhi? Zhis already gotten some salt. Come get more next time once you finish using it.

Ning Shu frowned as she peered at Qian Jia. Zhi had told her to come here to get salt from Qian Jia, but now Qian Jia was saying that she wouldnt give her any.

Why did Qian Jia want to make Zhi feel that she was angry and have Zhi tell her to come get salt?

Ning Shu peered at Qian Jia who was standing at the elevated cave entrance and towering over her.

She suddenly realized what Qian Jia was trying to do. Qian Jia just wanted to humiliate her, and while at it, try to ruin her relations.h.i.+p with Zhi.
