Chapter 53: Faces Swollen

The people of White Great City and Red Great City rubbed their ears and exchanged amused glances. They must have misheard just now. It's well known that Crimson Great City doesn't produce salt rocks and has been lacking salt for years.

Jiao Hong and Jiao Du continued, "Is salt rock something people eat? It's bitter and dirty. Come, come, come, take a look at the salt from our Crimson Great City."

Slap!

The crowd was stunned. This time, they were all listening attentively, and they must not have misheard. Just now, these two said that the salt from their Crimson Great City...

"The Jiao Tribe, what nonsense are you spouting? Who doesn't know that your Crimson Great City doesn't produce salt rocks? Have you gone mad because you can't buy salt rocks?"

"That's right, what nonsense. You'll end up embarrassing yourselves to the depths of the Northern Sea."

"Could they be resorting to some shameful means? I heard their Prince is very cunning."

A group of people remained skeptical, each saying their piece.

Jiao Hong and Jiao Du looked around at the crowd and noticed that there were quite a few onlookers. All of them had heard the news and came to see the joke of their Crimson Great City. With some disdain, they raised their voices and said, "What's there to boast about? If you think we're lying, just open your eyes and see clearly."

Slap, slap!

What's going on? Why are these two so confident in their words?

For some reason, there was suddenly a very bad premonition in their hearts. In order to embarrass Crimson Great City, they had spread the news far and wide. If Crimson Great City really didn't buy their salt rocks, not only would they lose a large business deal, but they would also be laughed at by everyone.

To become the object of ridicule after anticipating it, that would be the biggest joke. They didn't even know how others would spread the news, and how unpleasant it would sound.

Not to mention, they, White Great City, and Red Great City, would be played like fools.

Jiao Hong and Jiao Du felt very pleased. They wanted to see the expressions on these cunning fellows' faces, so they had the bags of salt lifted down from the Thunderous Beast directly.

The onlookers didn't even blink, their hearts were in their throats. They had long noticed the bundles on the Thunderous Beast of Crimson Great City. Could it be... all salt?

Jiao Hong and Jiao Du directly opened one of the bags, revealing the snow-white salt inside.

The crowd was stunned. Isn't this salt rock?

Their hearts relaxed as soon as they picked it up. What's going on? They had made them nervous for nothing.

"You guys from Crimson Great City, trying to deceive us with some trickery, thinking we haven't seen salt rocks before? Shameless. Did you find a bunch of prettier sand somewhere and try to pass it off as salt? Do you think we're idiots?"

But before they could finish speaking, Jiao Hong and Jiao Du said, "This is the new salt produced by our Crimson Great City, a kind of new salt that's far better than salt rocks."

Keep fussing, and see how you'll end up later.

New salt? What's that? And they dare say it's far better than salt rocks? Their ancestors have eaten salt rocks for generations, and they've never heard of this kind of salt before.
