Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 469 - 371: Petroleum!

As Zhao Yi contemplated his next step, Xu Yue’Er returned, pushing a giant black water sphere.

Zhao Yi glanced at the water sphere, first stunned, and then couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

It was the first time he realized that the Cultivation World also had oil.

But it was understandable.

According to the textbook from Zhao Yi’s previous life, oil originates from crustal movements, leading to trees and animals being buried underground, gradually forming over millions of years.

The Cultivation World might lack other things, but it was full of trees and wildlife worldwide.

These elements are the basic material conditions for forming oil.

However.

What puzzled Zhao Yi was, how did Xu Yue’Er find this oil?

Could it be that the Dragon Race also has potential as geologists?

Looking at the oil water sphere, Zhao Yi asked Xu Yue’Er, "How did you find this stuff?"

Xu Yue’Er replied naturally, "The Dragon Race is born to control water, and black oil contains water too. Whether it’s finding or controlling it, it’s not a problem for the Dragon Race! It’s just that the black oil is sticky and smelly, so the Dragon Race isn’t fond of it."

Is that possible?

Zhao Yi’s eyes widened in surprise and he waved his hand: "You want to use the black oil to burn those monster corpses, right? That’s a good idea, go ahead."

Zhao Yi was also aware that burning oil produces many harmful substances, causing major pollution and harm to the environment.

However, there was no one in the Cultivation World now.

Moreover, no one would return for a while.

In such a situation, burning some oil is hardly an issue; even if the environment is polluted, it can recover in a few decades. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The main reason Zhao Yi agreed for Xu Yue’Er to use the oil was because he had had enough of those foul-smelling Otherworld monsters.

These monsters were already stinky when alive; he couldn’t imagine how bad they would smell once burned.

Oil was thick and had strong adhesive properties, perfect for handling these corpses.

Furthermore, the smell from burning could suppress the monsters’ stench.

To Zhao Yi, those unbelievably foul monsters were the biggest pollution source in this world!

Once Zhao Yi permitted Xu Yue’Er, she didn’t hesitate, directly pushing the water sphere above the center of the corpses, then controlled the water sphere to release the oil.

Thick oil flowed out from the water sphere, quickly covering the monster corpses below and slowly spreading outward.

Only then did Zhao Yi realize that the oil water sphere pushed by Xu Yue’Er was compressed.

The sphere seemed small, only two meters in diameter, but as it released constantly, it quickly submerged all the monsters within several kilometers.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yi couldn’t help but marvel.

He finally had a clear understanding of the Dragon Race’s water control ability.

The compressed oil water sphere from Xu Yue’Er, in Zhao Yi’s previous life, contained at least millions of barrels of oil.

If she were in Zhao Yi’s previous life, Xu Yue’Er could start an oil transportation company with her skills and definitely make huge profits.

Apart from oil, transporting water was also a lucrative business.

On Blue Star, many places lacked water; Xu Yue’Er could monopolize the water trading business with her skills.

Unlike oil, water didn’t cost anything.

She could specialize in trading with countries experiencing floods.

Sweeping away floods from their countries and selling the water to places in need.

Double business.

Xu Yue’Er could definitely become the richest person on Blue Star in no time.

Feeling idle and bored, Zhao Yi let his mind wander while examining if there was any difference between the Cultivation World’s oil and Blue Star’s.

It turned out, there wasn’t much difference.

In similar geographical and climatic settings, the composition of oil hadn’t varied remarkably.

Like Blue Star, thick oil couldn’t be ignited directly.

Seeing Xu Yue’Er fail to ignite it several times, Zhao Yi was about to offer guidance when he noticed Xu Yue’Er heading towards the nearby forest.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi immediately knew Xu Yue’Er’s plan.

Indeed.

Shortly after, Xu Yue’Er returned, clutching a huge log in her two dragon claws.

She flew to the center of the monster corpses, and then exerted force with her claws, crushing the log into fragments that fell onto the oil.

Bang!

Xu Yue’Er cast magic onto the pile, instantly igniting the high-stacked wood chips.

Beneath the flames, the oil heated by the intense heat of the wood slowly began to burn.

The process of burning oil was slow, but once ignited, the burning sprang like a prairie fire, spreading impossibly far.

Within the oil, monster corpses began slowly burning when exposed to the intense heat of the fire.

The air soon became filled with a strange scent, smelly yet faintly fragrant.

Standing amidst the acrid scent, Zhao Yi was quickly reminded of something, instantly feeling a wave of regret.

He swore he wouldn’t eat stinky tofu ever again!

"Let’s go."

As the oil burned, the fire grew larger, quickly merging into a sea of fire at the gates of Shengjing City.

After glancing around, Zhao Yi prepared to leave this place of trouble.

On one hand, the corpses of the monsters from the Otherworld were soaked in the oil.

Since the fire had already started, it was impossible to pause until all the monster corpses were burned completely, so there was no point in waiting.

On the other hand, the smell in the air was unbearable.

After the monsters died, initially only their stench filled the air.

Now not only was there the monsters’ stench, but also the smell of burning oil and the aroma of roasted meat.

The mixed scents were simply torturous.

After previously burning an unknown number of Otherworld monsters, Xu Yue’Er now incinerated their corpses, much of her resentment and grief due to her near exterminated race had lessened.

Upon hearing Zhao Yi’s words, she quickly responded and obediently flew beneath Zhao Yi’s feet, carrying him around to the Crown Prince’s Mansion in Shengjing City.

Xu Yue’Er knew clearly that her ability to avenge herself was entirely due to the man before her.

If Zhao Yi hadn’t given her the chance, not to mention revenge, Xu Yue’Er might have become food in the monsters’ mouths by now.

Hence, after hearing Zhao Yi’s command, Xu Yue’Er showed unprecedented respect and submission.

Zhao Yi was unaware of Xu Yue’Er’s thoughts; even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

When the Four Seas Dragon Race was at its full strength, Zhao Yi didn’t take them seriously, let alone now with only one solitary dragon left.

If Xu Yue’Er was obedient, Zhao Yi wouldn’t mind keeping her as a mount.

After all, riding a dragon was quite impressive.

If Xu Yue’Er didn’t behave, what the Wild Boar Monster can slay a dragon, Taotie could also achieve!
