"Let's go to Stone Desert City first."
Xiao Lin spoke in response to his grandson's question.
"Stone Desert City on the border of the Tagor Desert? So that's where my big brother went to train! Grandpa, I heard our Xiao Household does business with the Snake-People Tribe in the Tagor Desert. Is that true?"
Hearing his grandfather mention it, Xiao Li assumed his big brother, Xiao Ding, was in Stone Desert City too!
Besides, Xiao Li had turned into a bundle of curiosity, asking all sorts of questions about the Snake-People Tribe.
"That's right. Our Xiao Household does indeed have a partnership with the Snake-People Tribe."
Xiao Lin nodded and began explaining the relationship between the Xiao Household and the Snake-People Tribe to his grandson.
Ever since Xiao Lin's initial talks with Queen Medusa, the relationship between the Xiao Household and the Snake-People Tribe had grown increasingly close over the years.
Not only that, the scale of their cooperation had also begun to expand.
The original merchant caravan had now more than doubled in size!
Thanks to the Xiao Household's trustworthiness, the Snake-People Tribe had long since cast aside all its former prejudices against humans when dealing with them.
Over the years, the Xiao Household had handled the business while the Snake-People Tribe provided guards, splitting the profits fifty-fifty.
They had essentially bound the two sides together.
Thanks to this, even the Snake-People Tribe's quality of life had now improved by several tenths.
Early on, some members of the Snake-People Tribe had opposed cooperating with the Xiao Household, arguing that humans could not be trusted. Over the years, those voices had vanished without a trace.
Now, anyone from the Xiao Household could even enter and leave the Snake-People Tribe's Holy City!
That alone showed just how close the two sides
