By the way, Mo Chi's clothes actually smell quite nice!
[Hmph, he's clearly just a snot-nosed brat! And he's acting so arrogant in front of this princess!]
However, he certainly has the right to be arrogant; after all, he's the most skilled martial artist in the entire palace!
[This kid's 15 years old now, almost an adult! In a few years, I'll find him a wife so he can settle down! He'll be all over his wife! That way, if I sneak out of the palace, no one can catch me!]
[Hehehe, this princess is so clever!]
I wonder what type of girl this kid likes? Is she gentle and virtuous, or playful and cute, or quirky and mischievous, or proud and aloof?
Forget about all that, let's just leave the palace and have some fun!
After tidying his clothes, Mo Chi reached out his hand to Ye Qianqian.
"What are you doing?" Ye Qianqian asked.
"Where is the gold? I took the princess away from the palace without permission, but there were conditions! The princess promised me that she would give me a reward!"
You really know how to keep something in mind!
[You're just like me, a little money-grubber!]
Ye Qianqian took off the gold lock from her neck.
"Give!"
"not enough!"
Ye Qianqian: "..."
Don't go too far! The gold lock I gave you, according to market prices, is worth one hundred taels of gold!
This is more than an average person could earn in a lifetime! Enough for you to get married!
Mo Chi noticed Ye Qianqian's dissatisfaction.
"If the princess does not have enough silver to give me, then I will simply return the way I came and escort the princess back!"
【Aaaaaah! This is extortion! Blatant extortion!】
What happened to your sense of justice?!
[How did you become so mercenary after becoming a palace guard!]
If things continue at this pace, he might end up as a major corrupt official!
"Princess!"
Helpless, Ye Qianqian had no choice but to take off the gold bracelet on her hand.
He handed it to Mo Chi.
Is that enough?
"not enough!"
I'll blanch it!
You've already taken a fifth of my possessions! And you're still not satisfied!
[Should we just turn around and go back?]
[But we finally got out! Going back like this feels so unfair!]
Oh well, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!
After recovering, Ye Qianqian took out a gold bar.
"Is that enough?"
Ye Qianqian was afraid he wouldn't say enough.
If he still says it's not enough, I'll give him everything I have on me.
[Why did that princess leave the palace? Was it to deliver money to Mo Chi?!]
[Isn't this princess a complete victim of injustice?!]
In this lifetime, from birth until now, when has this princess ever suffered such humiliation regarding money?
Mo Chi nodded and said.
"Enough! Please sit down, Princess."
Ye Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, they left me a gold bar!
[It won't be so bad that this princess won't have money to buy things on the street later!]
Mo Chi put the gold bars into his sleeve.
Ye Qianqian kept her eyes fixed on Mo Chi's sleeve.
I felt indignant.
I'm so angry! I'm so angry!
My gold bars! My precious treasures that guarantee my survival!
Mo Chi uttered a single, understated sentence.
"Does the princess feel she's been shortchanged?"
【Huh? You actually figured out what was on my mind?!】
I can't actually admit it!
"No, this world is all about getting things done for money!"
"You took my money and you're doing my bidding, that's only natural."
[I'm asking for way too much, why can't you give this princess a discount?]
"The princess owns the Great Yuan Gold Mine. The gold mined every day, just the portion allocated to her, is hundreds of times more than what I received today!"
“Of course, the princess is not at a loss.”
Wow, you're pretty good at math!
[So you know this princess is richer than a country!]
[This proves the saying true: never let others know your financial situation, or they can take your money in no time!]
Next time, I'll just play the poor card! Let's see how he tries to ask me for money then!
The carriage soon arrived in Dayuan City.
Mo Chi stopped the carriage.
He helped Ye Qianqian out of the car.
"Princess, I'll accompany you for a stroll around the city."
Ye Qianqian nodded.
Having a guard with you is convenient.
Wait a minute, is this kid going to ask me for protection money later?!
I'm not going to be a victim of injustice! I need to find out the details first!
Ye Qianqian asked Mo Chi.
"So, Mo Chi, is it your duty to protect this princess?"
"Indeed! This is my duty! Otherwise, I would have no way to explain myself when I return."
【Great, great! As long as it's free, that's fine. This princess loves getting freebies!】
Ye Qianqian started to stroll around.
But I am only three years old.
He is also relatively short.
I can't see what's ahead.
Ye Qianqian said to Mo Chi.
"Pick me up."
Mo Chi obediently picked up Ye Qianqian and started walking forward.
"Hmm, that makes the view much clearer!"
"Hmm? That familiar smell of fried fish!"
Ye Qianqian pointed to the fried fish stall in front of her.
"Take this princess to the place that fries fish!"
Mo Chi carried Ye Qianqian and walked forward.
