Hearing Xiao Jiu's awkward yet responsible words, Yun Duo couldn't help but chuckle to herself, replying happily in her mind, "Okay, I understand. But, our Xiao Jiu's awkwardness is really cute."
Xiao Jiu hummed twice and muttered, "Who's being awkward? I'm not being awkward at all." After a pause, she added, "But you are really cute."
...
The cloud paused for a moment.
The people in the room, seeing Yun Duo standing there in a daze, all assumed that Black Panther had frightened her. The maid who had gone to call Black Panther earlier saw this and went to Yun Duo's side, squatting down in front of her. She spoke softly, "Little girl? Were you frightened by our master? Don't be afraid. Although our master looks scary, he's actually a very good person. As long as you go home and tell your family to keep good bees and harvest plenty of royal jelly, our master will give you a lot of money. Then you can eat meat every day without any problem, and you'll have new clothes to wear. Don't you want to wear new clothes?"
Yunduo snapped out of her daze and secretly wanted to laugh as she listened to the maid's coaxing words. However, she forced a serious expression and looked at the maid, saying, "Even without royal jelly, I can still have new clothes. Grandpa said he'll buy me new clothes after he sells the honey."
The maid's lips twitched slightly, then she smiled again and asked in the same tone as the red-haired boy, "So, would you like to eat meat every day?"
The cloud nodded, then shook its head.
The maid was puzzled and paused for a moment before asking, "Young lady, why are you nodding and shaking your head? Do you want it or not?"
"I do want to, but I can't have it because royal jelly is very, very rare, much rarer than honey. If all the bees produced royal jelly, I wouldn't even have any sugar to eat. And those little bees would die very, very quickly, which would be very pitiful," Yun Duo said with a serious expression.
The maid added, "But if we have royal jelly, our master will give you a lot of money. Then you can buy whatever candy you want. Don't you want some fruit candy that you can hold in your mouth and enjoy for a long time? It's sweet, fragrant, and delicious."
Yun Duo blinked and whispered, "We can't buy candy. There's a guy called Monkey who wants us to pay him a hundred yuan. Otherwise, he'll break my and Grandpa's legs and kill our whole family..." As she said this, Yun Duo 'secretly' glanced at Black Leopard, then whispered in the maid's ear, "Sister, let me tell you, Grandpa asked Aunt Du to bring me here because he wanted to ask the old lady to let us go and tell her to tell Leopard not to kill our whole family."
“We really don’t have a hundred yuan. It’s just my grandparents and me at home. We don’t have that much money.”
“We can lose less, or we can gradually sell honey to make up for the loss. Royal jelly is really scarce, and even if we sell it at a very high price, we won’t make much money.”
At this point, Yun Duo deliberately showed a hint of difficulty on her little face.
"Silly girl." The maid gently pinched Yun Duo's cheek and said softly, "Don't you know that our master is the Leopard Master you're talking about?"
"Huh?" Yun Duo was shocked and instinctively took a step back.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Seeing this, the servant quickly squatted down and took half a step forward, coaxing Yun Duo, "Didn't our master just say that as long as you can produce royal jelly, you can walk around Qingping County with impunity? With him protecting you, you can bully any Monkey King or Horse King you want."
