Nie Zuier didn't seem angry at all.

“However…” Xie Lingqin didn’t seem to intend to leave. Looking at Nie Zuier, she said, “If Fuyue Gambling House could be my support, that would be even better.”

Nie Zuier's captivating eyes shimmered with light, "Why should I rely on you?"

"With just this ten thousand taels, the silver I earn in the future will definitely not be less than that of your gambling den." Xie Lingqin spoke calmly and composedly, her tone unhurried yet possessing a captivating charm that made her listen attentively.

Nie Zuier suddenly chuckled, every move she made exuding natural charm. "Many people talk big, but those who dare to talk big in front of me..." Nie Zuier slowly smiled, "are all dead."

Xie Lingqin's face remained cold and expressionless. "I will be the exception you've ever seen."

"Oh?" Nie Zuier glanced at her, then suddenly stood up. "Okay, but I want half of your ten thousand taels as a return. Of course, it has to be a continuous and ongoing return."

This is an outrageous demand.

In other words, no matter what Xie Lingqin does with the 10,000 taels, half of the reward must be given to Nie Zuier.

However, Xie Lingqin's eyes didn't even waver. She gently put down the teacup in her hand, and her slender, white fingertips tapped on the table. "Okay."

The "good" made Nie Zuier pause for a moment.

Just now he was so greedy and greedy for money, but now he's so cheerful and doesn't seem surprised at all?

Nie Zuier suddenly realized something, and a smile suddenly bloomed on her alluring lips, "She really is a little devil."

Of course it's the little spirit. You're talking about a return of 10,000 taels, but it's just a continuous return of "10,000 taels".

"Also, I have one more request," Nie Zuier added.

"Please speak, Master Nie."

Nie Zuier put away her smile and said clearly, "Whether you're in business or involved in murder, you can take anyone's business, except for Yu Qingyi, the heir of the Prince of Qing's mansion."

Xie Lingqin raised an eyebrow; there was indeed a story behind this.

but.

"Okay," Xie Lingqin replied.

That young master Yi was truly restless and irritable, and she didn't like him either.

"She really is a likable girl." Nie Zuier looked Xie Lingqin up and down, then flicked her finger. "Although you're dressed in men's clothing and your appearance is plain, and you seem greedy for money, your temperament and demeanor, every gesture, are quite elegant. But..." Nie Zuier chuckled, "you risked everything for ten thousand taels..."

Xie Lingqin smiled but did not answer.

"I wonder, whose household is it?"

"From General Xie's residence," Xie Lingqin said, without any intention of hiding anything.

"From General Xie's residence?" Nie Zuier seemed to be pondering.

Xie Lingqin bowed and said, "Then, from now on, everything will depend on Master Nie. Master Nie has just subdued the people of Second Master Nie and Third Master Nie, so you must have a lot to do. If you need help, you can ask Bai Yu, and Bai Yu will inform me. Well then, I'll take my leave now. Also, thank you for the menstrual cloth, Master Nie."

I don't know, the Crown Prince is now...

Of course, she doesn't say many truths, but she doesn't tell lies either.

What she wanted to do was far beyond what ten thousand taels of silver could possibly cover, so she had anticipated Nie Zuier's appearance today.

Therefore, in the future, what we will rely on will not only be power, but also money.

This is a bottomless pit.

After leaving Fuyue Gambling House, Xie Lingqin glanced around before heading towards Bai Yu's residence.

He previously said that his home was on South Street...

Her thoughts suddenly stopped, and Xie Lingqin looked at the tall, slender figure in the alley ahead, feeling melancholy.

After a while, he walked over quickly.

"Your Highness, is your wound bandaged up?"

The question was asked without any emotion.

Yuwen Yao glanced at her, his eyes filled with anger, "Luckily, she's not dead."

"This... Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you're injured, in pain, or sick, it's not me who hurt you, right? It's pointless for you to make things difficult for a weak woman like me."

"Make a cut."

Yuwen Yao clearly ignored her and handed her the same exquisite dagger again.

Xie Lingqin gritted her teeth. The night wind blew, and her sleeves rustled slightly in the wind.

What if I don't?

Don't I have any pride? Don't I have a temper?

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Yao's delicate lips seemed to curve into a threatening smile. "Make a cut." His voice was cold and detached, brooking no dissent.

Xie Lingqin...

That's absolutely infuriating.

Looking at the sky, she knew she had something urgent to attend to.

"Just one strike?" Xie Lingqin's expression was cold, her displeasure written all over her face.

Yuwen Yao glanced at her indifferently, "You think you have a lot of blood to burn?"

As he said this, his gaze clearly swept over her chest, yet he remained so aloof and detached, his expression unchanged, as if it were perfectly natural.

The key issue is that Xie Lingqin herself has begun to doubt her figure, believing she is malnourished and therefore has too little blood.

Tolerate!

Xie Lingqin quickly took the dagger, raised her arm, and slashed it.

Instantly, blood spurted from that snow-white, slender arm.

Xie Lingqin intended to use the dagger to pick up the blood droplet and hand it to the Crown Prince, but unexpectedly, the Crown Prince had already stepped forward, swiftly grabbed her bleeding arm, and lowered his head...

"Yuwen Yao, what do you want to do..." Xie Lingqin frowned, but her voice trailed off as the Crown Prince glanced at her.

“Your Highness, if you desire women and blood, I will provide you with a vessel; you need not suck it.”

The prince frowned. "Inhale?"

"otherwise?"

"The blood is too thick, no way." Yuwen Yao slowly raised his head, his tone of disdain as he unceremoniously shook off Xie Lingqin's arm.

Xie Lingqin...

Clutching his bleeding arm, he wanted to curse the prince's ancestors for eighty generations to death.

Neuropathy.

Suddenly, Tingfeng appeared in the air, gave Xie Lingqin a complicated yet slightly sympathetic look, and then turned and left with Yuwen Yao.
