Holding the five hundred taels of silver after "bargaining" in her hand, Yan Miaoling happily left the clinic.
It wasn't that she was asking for too much; Bai Muchen had already offered 20,000 taels, saying he'd give her 10,000 taels for each rescue. But that was too much. She was a man of moral integrity, and couldn't be so ruthless. So, after much persuasion, she finally settled for 500 taels, earning Bai Muchen's words, "Miss Ling'er, if you need me in the future, please come to me."
...
Yan Miaoling hummed a little tune, turned a few corners, and disappeared into Bai Muchen's house.
The person following behind him was completely bewildered. The younger brother asked Tie Er, "Boss? How did she get into Doctor Bai's yard? Should we still kill her?"
"My master said to kill him!" This was the order from Tieyi in the morning.
"Why don't you do it now? It will be difficult to do it once Doctor Bai comes back!"
"Well, go ahead!" Tie Er waved to the other people in the dark.
"Wait!" A cold and majestic voice suddenly came from behind.
Several people immediately turned around, bowed their heads and saluted, "Your Highness!"
The person who came was Xuanyuan Mingchen. Without any explanation, he said, "Leave them here first. Just keep a close watch on them throughout the day!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Seeing Xuanyuan Mingchen leave, the younger brother started to talk again, "Boss, why did you suddenly change this?"
Tie Er patted his head. "Which the hell are you from? You're so talkative! Don't you understand the saying 'one order changes every day?'"
A similar conversation was also taking place in a corner of the Bai Mansion. "Bai Yin, I clearly saw the little girl enter our yard, why did she disappear in the blink of an eye?"
Zhen Jin continued, "Could it be that he came to look for his master, and left when he found that he was not there?"
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry and report to the master!"
After hearing the news from his subordinates, Bai Muchen, who had planned to stay overnight in the clinic, suddenly decided to go back and live there, with an almost invisible curve at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that he has to guard his kitchen closely tonight.
...
In the kitchen.
[Ah, the miracle doctor is really rich, he can eat so many dishes by himself.] I guess I wouldn't be able to tell if I was a little more obedient.
The man in the dark watched helplessly as the steamed abalone, osmanthus cake, and crystal shrimp dumplings all disappeared. Then, a whole roast chicken suddenly lost its legs, feet, and wings before his eyes... In the end, it was so ugly that it was turned into hand-shredded chicken.
It’s okay if you eat it, but have you washed your hands?
He is a doctor and he has mysophobia.
Yan Miaoling in the space also knew not to overdo it, so she left the other dozen or so dishes untouched. A good figure was important no matter where she was, so she had to diet at night and eat less.
As soon as I turned around, I heard a weak voice pleading in the corner, "Girl, I was wrong. Can you... give me a bite to eat... I haven't had a drop of water for three days..."
Yan Miaoling continued, "Don't lie to me! You are such a good martial artist. Even if you are being hunted, you can always find food. You won't starve!"
[Killer Night Owl's fighting ability is quite impressive.] While the original book doesn't specify his ranking, there's a scene where he and Xuanyuan Mingchen Xiongjing fight to a draw. [Since even the God of War couldn't subdue him, he must be quite capable.]
The night owl looked up in surprise?
This sound...
Isn’t that what he heard when he was lying on the ground?
It turned out that it was this little girl who was plotting against him. But she didn't move her mouth. Could it be that what he heard was...her inner thoughts?
Besides, even the God of War Prince cannot subdue him. One of them is in the imperial court, and the other is in the martial arts world. How could they possibly meet?
If I had to say I had a chance to meet...
Could it be that martial arts tournament? The masked man?
It was over. Yan Miaoling didn't know yet that Xuanyuan Mingchen's identity in the underworld was revealed in just a few words.
Afterwards, Ye Xiao never heard the maid's voice again. Seeing no one paying attention to her, she could only lament, "Miss, you are so beautiful, so charming, and you look like someone who would feel bad even if he stepped on an ant. How could you bear to watch a living person like me starve to death like this..."
She praised him with her mouth, but complained in her heart: "I feel sorry for her, but she doesn't feel sorry at all!" She was full of tricks and schemes. He had only misunderstood their master-servant relationship and held her hostage for a while, and now she had to use her muscle softening powder and locked her up in this dark, desolate place without food.
He has seen how vicious women are.
As expected, when you go out, remember what your mother said: the more beautiful a woman is, the more vicious she is.
Just as he was teasing Yan Miaoling, he suddenly received a wave of praise. [Aren't assassins usually dark-skinned from the weather and sun? Why is he so fair? His features are delicate and he has a certain nobility. His eyebrows are straight and thick, and when he lowers his almond-shaped eyes and keeps silent, he looks aloof and aloof, very much like a young master.] But as soon as he opened his mouth, it ruined everything.
He talks a lot and is a bit funny.
"It's not impossible to give you food..." Yan Miaoling stood up and circled around Ye Xiao, "But you have to promise to be our young lady's guard. Are you willing?"
Seeing Ye Xiao was eager to refuse, she took the initiative and arrogantly kicked him in the waist. "A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. If it weren't for our young lady, you would have died long ago. How could you still be breathing here? You don't think of repaying her and you threaten her. What's your idea? Besides, our young lady is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water, geese drop to the ground, and the moon hide in shame. You won't lose anything by being her bodyguard, understand?"
Ye Xiao thought to himself, I am not interested in the eldest lady, but I am interested in you, a little girl who doesn’t know how to live or die. How dare you kick me!
You wait for me to recover.
He rolled his eyes. He wanted to avoid his father and Yaoyue Villa anyway, so he might as well...
"Miss, you misunderstood! I, Ye Xiao, value loyalty above all else. How could I possibly be that kind of person? It's just that I run a killer club of my own, and I have a bunch of brothers to support. It's not appropriate for me to always be your young lady's bodyguard. How about a one-month contract?"
Although Night Owl was smiling, murderous intent was already lurking in the depths of his eyes.
If this girl still recklessly assigns tasks to harass him, he will drag her down to hell even if he has to fight with all his might...
Yan Miaoling had been at the mercy of her boss for years, and she was quite adept at reading people's expressions. Seeing that he was about to get irritated, she immediately soothed him, "Okay! One month is fine, thank you very much! How about we go see the young lady now?"
[A month? Are you sure? You're the most loyal to our lady.] I'm afraid after the expiration date, you'll be like a dog, impossible to chase away. [Not only that, it's also the best bed frame. It's so sturdy, it's perfect for anytime, anywhere...]
[When it comes to kidney health, no one can compare to you! ]
Yan Miaoling was leaning against the wall alone, and suddenly she found that Ye Xiao's eyes had become even colder, and he looked at her like a dead person.
Damn, this guy is wild and unruly. I must remind the lady to give him medicine later, otherwise he will be difficult to control.
