Chapter 414: He is like a different person
Sang Luo slapped his hand away and said sternly,
"presumptuous!"
"Haha, it's just a joke, Your Highness, there's no need to be angry."
The head of Yeque Pavilion retracted his slender, pale hand. His deep, enchanting eyes fixed on her, flashing with interest. "However, I have a principle in business: I will never do business at a loss. If Your Highness wishes to redeem these [Fox Eyes], I'm afraid you will have to..."
"No matter how much you paid for it, I will return it to you without spending a cent!"
"Your Highness, please listen to this: if you don't make a profit, you lose money."
"you--"
The Pavilion Master extended two slender fingers.
"Double, how about I give you these eyes back."
The "Eye of the Fox" was the finale of the auction, breaking the highest auction price in Lingxi Auction House's ten thousand-year history. Even after the money was handed over to Sang Luo, they still had to take a 20% handling fee. In other words, after all this turnover, she earned much more than she lost!
Even though Sang Luo was now dressed in the guise of a princess, she still felt pained when she saw the Pavilion Master offer an exorbitant price. She had calculated the princess's private money before coming here, but it was still not enough when added together. She had to find a way to get some money from other places.
"If Your Highness is in trouble... Ye Pu, show the guest away!"
The black man with the ghost face stepped forward again, "Your Highness, please."
Sang Luo hurriedly said, "Wait, okay, I agree to this deal! I'll give you the money in seven days. Please don't regret it midway, Pavilion Master, and make sure we get both the money and the goods!"
"Your Highness, please rest assured. I am a businessman, and integrity is what I value most."
The two signed a contract and agreed to meet again in seven days.
After the head of Yeque Pavilion watched Sang Luo leave his sight, a slender man in black stepped forward.
"Master, are you sure it's her?"
…
After Sang Luo returned to the princess's mansion, he dug out all the princess's private money and sold all her valuable jewelry and treasures. He was still short of money, so he borrowed some money from the clan leader and finally made up the required amount.
Sang Luo has been searching for various refining materials recently, which has also cost him a lot of money.
Fearing that the princess would find that her family property had been emptied out after her return, Sang Luo had been reorganizing the princess's businesses that were about to go bankrupt.
The Red Fox Clan is far inferior to the ancient mythical beast races in Qingqiu in terms of talent and strength, but they can still occupy a place in Qingqiu and are even qualified to discuss marriage with the prestigious Nine-tailed Fox Clan. This is due to their business acumen. In layman's terms, in the eyes of the ancient mythical beast families, the Red Fox Clan is a real nouveau riche, and any chance of getting a bite of it is a profit.
The Red Fox Clan leader had also left his daughter a wealth of assets, hoping she would continue to expand the family business. Unfortunately, Princess Ji Wan had no interest in business, and her management of those assets was a mess. Year after year, the income was insufficient to cover expenses, and they were on the verge of bankruptcy. After Sang Luo's renovations, they actually made a lot of money, and it wouldn't be long before they could make back the money they had lost.
Sang Luo also sent someone to make an appointment in advance with a highly respected and famous doctor who was very good at eye transplantation. Coincidentally, the famous doctor was free in half a month.
After finishing all this, Sang Luo went to Meihuawu in the evening.
She has been very busy these days, and she is extremely tired and unable to spare any time. She hasn't come to see Yun Qi for a long time. She believes that his life must be much better recently.
When the two of them slept in the same bed that night, Sang Luo felt a peace of mind she had never felt before, and all the fatigue from running around was swept away... It was as if they had formed some kind of dependence. Every time she came to Plum Blossom Garden, her mood was extremely calm and peaceful, and she forgot the worries that weighed on her shoulders.
It's strange to say, this is not the first time that Sang Luo has traveled back in time and space. He has always been on the sidelines towards the people in time and space, similar to the perspective of real players towards game NPCs. He never invests unnecessary emotions. But this time, he couldn't help but make an exception.
In her heart, Yun Qi was more like a familiar and lively person.
Not just a passer-by in time and space.
As Sang Luo stepped into Meihuawu, what caught his eye was a figure as beautiful as an orchid and a jade tree, which was so charming that it took his breath away.
The night is deep, the moon and stars are sparse.
The young man stood under the magnolia tree in the center of the courtyard, wearing a plain white brocade robe, with his black hair hanging down in front of his chest. The flowing light and shadow seemed to drape the moonlight on his body.
He was "looking" towards the door, as if waiting for someone.
During the days when she was not here, had Yun Qi been waiting for her every night...
Sang Luo's heart was filled with inexplicable emotions. The feeling of being out of control became more and more unbridled. She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't help but let it slowly spread...
Hearing the familiar footsteps, the young man's handsome face showed joy, but he suppressed the curve of his lips to avoid being too anxious, "Your Highness, you are here."
Sang Luo took off her outer robe and put it on him, her tone blaming him, "It's so late, why don't you go back and rest? It's cold outside, and you're not in good health to begin with. If you accidentally catch a cold, you'll suffer."
Yun Qi was not very old, and looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Perhaps because of his pale complexion, he looked a little thin. In the beast world of later times, he was probably not of marriageable age according to his tribe.
Sang Luo subconsciously put herself in the position of an elder. She had given birth to so many children. When she last went back, the three little wolf cubs looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, not much different from Yun Qi.
Yun Qi was flattered, his face flushed. "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."
"Have you had dinner yet?"
"not yet."
Sang Luo touched his stomach, which was rumbling loudly. "I haven't eaten anything today, so it's a good opportunity for you to have a meal with me."
"Your Highness, please take care of yourself too," he said considerately.
After staying overnight in Taohuayuan, Sang Luo left again early the next morning. She was in a hurry. If Yun Qi had not insisted on keeping her for breakfast, she would probably have been too busy to eat and would have gone hungry all day.
"Your Highness, are you still busy searching for those refining materials recently?" Yun Qi asked, slowly touching the Braille book he had copied.
Kong looked at his young master and said hesitantly, "I heard from the errand boys working for Her Highness the Princess that Her Highness went to the Lingxi Auction House not long ago..."
Yun Qi paused. He knew Lingxi Auction House, and it had just recently...
"His Highness went to find the person who bought the young master's eyes. It seems that he wants to redeem them."
"But they asked for a whopping sum, more than double the original price. His Highness has been so busy lately, running around trying to raise the money." Kong was unfortunate when he first heard about this, but he later found out it was all true. "His Highness even paid a large sum of his own money to see the renowned doctor Gong Jianchen, a skilled doctor who specializes in eye surgery. He wanted him to treat the young master's eyes."
Yun Qi's breathing stopped. He thought that what the princess said that night was just to comfort him.
I didn't expect that she really intended to help him cure his eyes.
He felt sweet in his heart, but also had doubts.
Is there really anyone who can transform so drastically?
It's like a different person...
