Chapter 545: I Have a Backer

"Why?" Bei Feng became more and more confused the more he listened.

Ouyang Mingxi didn't intend to waste any more time talking to him. He said, "You make your own choice. Either go back and steal the novel and give it to me, and I'll do whatever you want from now on. Or you can marry that woman. It's your choice."

Bei Feng frowned. He was about to say something else when he heard Ouyang Mingxi order him to leave. "Go away."

"Okay." Beifeng said and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, Ouyang Yude came in and said, "Can he do it? It's very difficult, right?"

"Arrange a dinner party for him later and send a few women to him. Pick the most seductive ones." Ouyang Mingxi instructed Ouyang Yude.

Ouyang Yude nodded.

Mei Die on the other side was also worried about this matter. She said to An Yan, "I was thinking, what if his brother arranged several women for him to ruin his health? What should we do then?"

Dinner here is over, and everyone is sitting in the yard drinking tea.

An Yan picked up a piece of apple and started eating it, saying, "It's useless to think so much. You have to trust him."

"It's not that I don't trust him, sometimes the enemy is just too powerful." Mei Die was always worried. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, but she didn't know what to do.

"Can't you think positively? Maybe his brother will agree." Yan Qingqiu said as he peeled an orange and ate it.

"Why should you agree?" Mei Die asked immediately.

Yan Qingqiu thought for a moment and said, "I'm deeply moved by your deep affection. No one wants to separate a couple."

Meidie sneered at him, obviously not believing him.

Yan Qingqiu turned serious and said, "Actually, in my opinion, if I were his eldest brother, I would hope that he would marry a woman who had no roots in the Sea Kingdom. Firstly, there would be no need to worry about her competing with him for power, and secondly, there would be no need to worry about provoking too many evil women."

"I heard that the people of Hai Country only allow marriages with fellow countrymen and do not accept foreign women." Mei Die frowned. She was very worried.

At this time, an old man came in from outside, holding a wooden plate in his hand, and on it was a thick booklet, and no one knew what it was.

An Yan took a sip of tea and then asked the old man, "What do you think is the best way to write it?"

"You can write that they are sisters who have been missing for a long time, or that they saved their lives, or that they were praised for their outstanding contributions. All of these can be recorded in the register." said the old man.

"What is this for?" Meidie asked.

Li Rongsen also walked in from outside the courtyard. He had just made it clear to the old man that he wanted to give Mei Die a legitimate status so that she would not be looked down upon by the royal family of the Sea Kingdom.

An Yan said, "I want your name to be recorded in the directory of West City. That way you will have an identity and won't be afraid of them finding fault with you."

Meidie understood immediately, and her eyes became red. She said, "How can I thank you for this?"

"I'm not asking you to thank me. We have been together for such a long time. I know you very well and I want you to find a good home. I believe Beifeng will not let you down." An Yan said, signaling Meidie not to thank her.

Li Rongsen said to An Yan, "Meidi is indeed grateful to Xicheng and you. You can write it any way you want."

"If that's the case, I'll write it down in the book according to my wishes, and she just needs to come up and press her fingerprints." The old man said. He had no objection to An Yan and Li Rongsen's arrangement. After all, he had observed Mei Die for a long time and felt that this woman was reliable.

When An Yan went to the Dark Moon Realm Lord, she protected him all the way, and she was indeed grateful to him.

An Yan said: "Then I'll trouble you."

The old man waved his hand, opened the thick booklet, printed words on it, and said to Meidie, "Come, just come over and press your fingerprint."

Mei Die was a little excited. She carefully pressed her handprint on it and immediately felt something entering her forehead.

A small red flower appeared between her eyebrows, but disappeared in an instant.

An Yan said: "This is the mark that people who are included in the register will have."

Meidie touched her forehead and said, "That's great, thank you very much."

"I'll make you a few sets of clothes tomorrow, and then ask them to decorate your room." An Yan said. She believed that since their identities were different, they should be treated differently.

But Meidie felt that it was unnecessary and said, "I am fine like this, there is no need to change anything."

"We need to inform everyone." An Yan said.

"How to summon?" Meidie asked, she didn't quite understand.

"There's no rush. We'll have time for it when the grand ceremony comes later," said the old man.

An Yan nodded. Her goal was to get the people in Haiguo to take Meidie seriously and not treat her as someone without any background. She said to Meidie, "From now on, you also have a family. Xicheng is your support."

Meidie nodded gratefully, not knowing what to say.

Then the old man asked Li Rongsen, "Mr. Li, take a look at this account. It's the bill that Huashe Mountain sent over today. The price listed is many times higher, a full twenty times higher. Is there a mistake?"

"You're right, that's the price I quoted." An Yan answered for Li Rongsen simply and straightforwardly.

"City Lord!" The old man was startled, then lowered his voice as much as possible and said, "City Lord, from now on, you don't have to bother with negotiating prices yourself. Just leave it to Mr. Li. He's an expert in this area."

"These are rare medicinal herbs. I've picked them all, so I'm giving you more." An Yan signaled the old man not to feel bad.

"Alas, even so." The old man still felt distressed and said, "The city lord is still too generous." He then used a smile to cover up his sadness.

"It's nothing. Money comes and goes, and you can earn it back." Li Rongsen signaled the old man not to worry.

"The New Year is almost here, and the financial report isn't looking particularly good." The old man said with a laugh, but he still couldn't help feeling heartbroken.

"Then don't look at it anymore. Wait until it looks good." Yan Qingqiu said. He knew the old man's temper very well and estimated that this would feel like peeling his skin.

The old man glared at him fiercely, and then said, "City Lord, how about letting Mr. Li go over and bargain again?"

"That won't do. It's all agreed upon. Let's do it this way. You don't have to worry about it. I'll earn it back for you later." An Yan signaled the old man not to be stingy.

Li Rongsen also said: "Alright, it's okay to increase the profits recently. It's not a big deal. The city lord can't go back on his word. Where is his face?"

What he said was that the city lord needed to look respectable, so the old man stopped talking and had to leave obediently, but he still couldn't help but sigh, as he had lost such a large sum of money in vain.

"Look at how stingy he is. It's like I want to skin him alive." Yan Qingqiu said with a smile.

Li Rongsen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said to An Yan, "I'll talk to him later so that he won't be unable to sleep."

An Yan nodded and said, "It's not his fault. He's usually reluctant to part with things. Now that I've waved my hand and given away so much, of course he won't agree. I'll earn him some new things to please him someday."

Li Rongsen nodded, took An Yan's hand and rubbed it unconsciously in his palm.

Mei Die felt that it was time for her to leave and give them more time, so she stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should go back to the house and rest." At the same time, she pulled Yan Qingqiu's sleeve, indicating that he should stop being a light bulb here.

Yan Qingqiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he saw An Yan yawn, he said, "Let's disperse. Go back to your rooms and sleep early. Everyone is tired after a day."
