The pet of the beast world: sickly beauty has many children and good fortune

Chapter 198: Pushing the Limits
Wei Ze had never paid attention to the family's affairs, and couldn't help asking: "Why? Since they don't want to increase the rent, we can change people. There will always be people who think that the rent we charge is reasonable."

The Seventh Elder sighed, "Although the Grey Parrot Clan's combat power is not great, they are quite capable of causing trouble.

Not only will they unite the other two families, they will also connect all the tenants of our Iron-eating Beast tribe's shops in the entire northern part of the city.

They say that we should be honest in everything we do, but we cannot just believe everything we hear. It is dishonest to follow others in raising the rent every year and asking for exorbitant prices. We should boycott it collectively.

We have two choices: either leave the shops vacant and not rent them out, or maintain the original rent for these shops.

We also think it is better to have less trouble than more. We, the Iron-eating Beasts, have a lot of land and shops, which makes people jealous. If we don’t keep a low profile, who knows what will happen...”

They are not afraid of offending the Grey Parrot Tribe, but they are afraid of incurring public wrath.

Si Shuo, Ji Liang and the others looked at each other. They had thought too simply before and believed that they could be fearless by relying on the iron-eating beast tribe.

But now that they share the same honor and disgrace with the Iron-eating Beasts, they find that the Iron-eating Beasts cannot do whatever they want because there are too many concerns and interests involved.

At least they have to slowly work their way up the situation before they can completely reverse the disadvantages that are currently shackled upon them!
The Seventh Elder was responsible for renting out and collecting rent for the tribe's fields and shops. The Grey Parrots relied on their influence in the business world and would always delay the rent collection from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, or even across the New Year.

The Iron-eating Beastmen have become so tired of asking for rent that the tenants don't say they won't pay, they just say they can't make ends meet, or they give a portion of the rent first because they see the Iron-eating Beastmen are anxious, after all, they pay the rent every year. The Grey Parrots and the Iron-eating Beastmen are in an awkward relationship that is about to break up, but it hasn't. As a result, other tenants also follow suit and drag their feet on paying rent.

Therefore, even though Mazhi, the holy female of the Grey Parrot Clan, made a bold statement that she would take out half of the clan's crystals to fill the Bamboo Mountain, she was still not allowed to enter the gate of the ancestral home of the Iron-eating Beast!
At this moment, the Seventh Elder straightened his back and led everyone to stand directly at the door of the Grey Parrot Tribe's clothing store, shouting loudly, "Is Shopkeeper Ma Zuo here?"

Hearing his deep voice, Ma Zuo, who was dozing off inside, quickly made a gesture to the waiter, then hunched over and hid in the backyard.

"Oh, what a rare visitor! Why did the Seventh Elder go out so early? Are you looking for our shopkeeper Ma Zuo? He didn't come today. It seems that someone in the family gave birth to a baby, so he went to give a gift.

What can I do for you? I need you to come here in person..." the second brother asked with a smile.

The Seventh Elder was not surprised. They had come five times and had only met Ma Zuo once at most.

He called out to the two shops next door and got the same answer: the shopkeeper was not in. People were already gathering around to watch the fun.

The Seventh Elder said calmly this time: "It is true that there is something wrong. It just so happens that you haven't paid the rent for three months this year. You don't have to pay it in the future. We will not rent it out. These three shops will be used as a dowry for Wei Ce.

You guys should move out in the next two days, otherwise we will help you clean it out. If there is any damage or missing of the items, it will not be our responsibility. "

The faces of the second brothers of the three families all changed. The attitude of the iron-eating beasts had never been so tough before. "Seventh Elder, don't worry, we will never owe you rent. We have been in cooperation for 20 to 30 years. Can you tell me which year we haven't paid?" The second brother of the Grey Parrot said with a smile. "Our shopkeeper is not here at the moment. Tomorrow, no, I will send someone to send a message to the shopkeeper later..."

The Seventh Elder smiled and said, "You want to give it to us this time, but we don't want it. It's also because you always default on the rent. Otherwise, we would have signed a new agreement at the beginning of the year, and it would be difficult to chase you away now."

This sentence made the shopkeepers hiding in the shop feel heartbroken. They, they were just pushing the envelope, testing the bottom line of the iron-eating beasts step by step, never expecting a sudden turn!
Twenty or thirty years of inertial thinking made them feel that it was not they who were begging the iron-eating beastmen to rent the shops to them, but that the iron-eating beastmen were afraid that they would not continue to rent the shops.

Ma Zuo called over another waiter in the shop and gave him some instructions.

The second brother came out and said with a smile: "Seventh Elder, what you said is too sudden, isn't it? Our Grey Parrot tribe's clothing store has been open for more than 20 years. Who doesn't know that our clothes are well made and brightly colored?

You should have given us notice half a year in advance, right? Where can we move such a big shop? Where can we buy ready-made clothes? You iron-eating beasts can't bully others...

I'm going to say something you may not like to hear, but we, the Grey Parrots, don't sell clothes here, and no one dares to come in and buy anything.

Since this is a losing business, you might as well continue to rent the shop to us and earn the rent in peace!"

It was a naked threat, Si Shuo understood it, what the waiter meant was that there were ways to prevent customers from coming to the store.

Oh, when she and Ji Liang first came to Guangshou City, they had no roots or base and would not allow themselves to be bullied. But now they have the support of the iron-eating orcs, so it is even more impossible for them to allow the Grey Parrot Tribe to be so arrogant and look down on others!
Si Shuo pursed his lips and chuckled, then took a step forward. Xiao Cheng and Wei Ce beside him also stepped forward to protect him.

She stretched out her fist in front of the second brother, turned it over and opened it, revealing a few rootless flower seeds inside.

In front of everyone, she once again demonstrated her ability to induce childbirth. After the rootless flower grew up, Si Shuo played with the unusually lively rootless flower that flew around her fingers, and asked with a chuckle, "Don't you know that we sell rootless flower wood spirits in our shop, but no customers come to buy them? Can the reputation of your Grey Parrot Clan cover up everything and influence everyone's preferences?"

"It's the rootless flower and tree spirit!" The crowd watching the excitement finally boiled over. They didn't expect that it was condensed by this Saint Female. Someone immediately said, "Why is no one buying it? Saint Female, are you selling this in your shop?
I don’t know about others, but I will definitely buy one for my female and my cubs!”

"Right, right, right. The Grey Parrot Tribe doesn't have that much face. They just rely on their dyeing skills. Their eyes aren't eyes, and their nose isn't a nose. If there were any other options, I wouldn't even step into their doorstep..."

"The Grey Parrots are not afraid of being offended by what they said. Since when did they represent the orcs in the northern part of the city? They have relied on a few crystals to do a lot of immoral things... Since they have so many crystals, why do they always have to ask the Iron-eating Beasts to pay the rent? They just want to take advantage..."

"Saint Female, would you like to sell the rootless flower and tree spirit in your hand? I will give you two level 10 crystals..."

"I'll offer five!" Some people can't wait for Si Shuo to open a shop.

The Grey Parrot people looked so unhappy, while the other two families were almost crying and kneeling down.
