Su Qinglan was very happy that the deal was finally done. Two big sacks of rice in exchange for a few beast hides. She couldn't help smiling as she touched the rough sacks, thinking how much she could make from them later.
Before leaving, she turned to Xuan Long and said, "Xuan Long, can you lend me hides? I will give them back to you."
"My hides are all yours; why will you have to lend them?" he said with a frown.
Su Qinglan smiled at him brightly but didn't explain anything. She didn't want to agitate him at all, so she was taking baby steps with him. If she directly told him that she did not plan to stay here with him, he would definitely get angry.
And she couldn't risk it. In a faraway place where she was still a weak female and carrying cubs nonetheless, she needed protection.
Even if her desire was selfish, she knew she couldn't risk leaving alone. What if she met some beastman with evil intentions? She couldn't guarantee that all beastmen here were good.
