Apocalyptic Beastworld: A Farming Space Dimension to Another World-Chapter 90: Unusual Stone

"Mister, this stone is..." Old Wang stopped. "Wait for a moment."

With that, he left the room and came back bringing Duan Heng in. He pointed at the bighorn sheep beastman. "It’s his stone."

Xie Ziyuan didn’t beat around the bush. "Name your price."

Duan Heng was a little confused. It was him who had picked it up, but he had no use for it since he also didn’t understand it was used for or origin. "Mister, you like this stone?"

The stone just looked like another normal black slab of stone. Its surface looked smooth and a little shiny.

He and Old Wang were convinced it was a special stone, and they agreed to make it the store’s treasure. However, every time they showed the stone to the customer, they would laugh at their faces.

Gradually, Old Wang stopped introducing it. The two also began to have doubts.

Every time Duan Heng brought him a customer and if he managed to sell something, Duan Heng would get some money from him. For this stone, they had agreed to do the same, but Duan Heng would get most of it—the role was reversed.

"I need it. Tell me your price." Duan Heng scratched the back of his head.

Thinking back, they hadn’t actually thought of a price for this item, just naming it as priceless and daydreaming about getting at least a hundred fourth-order crystal cores. Of course, the dream was shattered and they already put it to the back of their mind.

Duan Heng glanced at Old Wang and made a decision. "Just give us another fourth-rank crystal core..."

"But, I have another request if you don’t mind, Mister." He sounded hesitant.

"Speak." Xie Ziyuan swept his gaze toward him, waiting.

A little embarrassed and avoiding Old Wang’s eyes, he finally said, "Can you take me in and give me a job, Mister? I-I saw the two beastmen who were with you. They are working for you, aren’t they? Don’t worry, I am really strong."

When Xie Ziyuan come back, Wei Rong and Zhou Yunhan weren’t at the inn again.

"Where do you live?" He had asked Duan Heng.

The latter had answered in a sheepish tone. "I used to live at the weapon workshop and now they have kicked me out."

As such, he decided to bring him to the inn.

"Master Xie, I can sleep on the street outside, don’t worry about me," Duan Heng muttered. Shelter wasn’t a problem since his fleece was thick. As long as he had something to fill his stomach.

He wanted to come back tonight, so he was planning to find the other two.

"You stay here then, I am going to find the other two."

Duan Heng was about to sit down on the inn’s front chairs when he heard that. He stood up straight again. "Master Xie, I will follow you."

Xie Ziyuan already knew where they were. He didn’t mind that Duan Heng would follow him.

Ten minutes later, he strolled along what looked like a residential area, filled with some houses. There was already a small crowd gathering, and people seemed to be shouting.

"You, little snake!" A woman shouted in her high-pitched tone. "You cunning animal is no good!"

Zhou Yunhan wasn’t among the crowd, but he was heading there in a hurried manner.

"We have lent you the house for so many years, waiting for you to grow up so you can take care of yourself. Don’t take the act of kindness as our responsibility!"

At this moment, a woman with a green snake tail was sprawling on the ground, bruised. Even some of her scales had been scrapped. It looked painful.

"Auntie, that is a house left by my parents!" Fang Meilin argued back, feeling rather aggrieved.

"They are not your biological parents. They just took pity on you and picked you up from who knows where!" The Aunt, a weasel beastman, was very skilled in being a shrew, shouting relentlessly.

"This house is left by your grandparents! I am their daughter. Essentially, this house shouldn’t fall to your possession. It belongs to my son now!" The female weasel beastman snorted.

No one came to help the female snake. They were merely watching.

Fang Meilin still argued, "Auntie. When grandparents are still alive, they also agree to leave the house for me!"

Su Yining logged in to the game only to witness such an unreasonable scene. She was a little startled at the female weasel beastman’s heartlessness.

She wiped her hand, and poked Xie Ziyuan before moving to the female weasel beastman. Her finger swiped at her, making her lose her balance and fell to the ground.

Someone immediately went to help her, another female weasel but was smaller in form. Most likely was her daughter.

"Mom!" She cried out in worry. Her sharp eyes landed on Fang Meilin. After she steadied her mother, she went to the female snake aggressively. "It’s because of you!"

Just as she was about to kick her, a black shadow was faster, shielding her. The female weasel was weaker, and ended up hurting because of the kick.

She also lost her balance, sprawling on the ground and hissed in pain. Her mother hurriedly came and helped her daughter.

"You, who are you?!" The mother weasel pointed her finger at Zhou Yunhan rudely. "Why are you meddling in someone else’s business?"

Zhou Yunhan glared at the pair of mother and daughter. "You two are bullying people, aren’t you ashamed? You even robbed someone else of their home!"

"What do you know?" The mother weasel scoffed. "You better get away from here!"

Duan Heng had an unpleasant expression when he saw this. He also jumped to the scene to help the female snake beastman.

Xie Ziyuan watched the female snake with furrowed eyebrows. Perhaps his gaze was too powerful, and she turned her head toward him.

In an instant, her breath was caught in her throat. She trembled, feeling the suppression in her bloodline from the same species.

Zhou Yunhan, who clutched her hand and wanted to help her get up, was startled. He thought she was afraid, so he consoled her. "Don’t be afraid."

Fang Meilin tore her gaze away from Xie Ziyuan, not daring to look anymore. At this moment, she felt Zhou Yunhan’s touch, and was startled.

She finally could see his full face. Shocked, she blurted out, "Yunhan!"

Zhou Yunhan sent a questioning look. He was sure he had never met this female beastman before...
