Chapter 54 Are you shy? This is new!
"At least ten thousand taels of gold!" Lan Xiyue blurted out without thinking.
With his medical skills and status, even this new body is definitely not worth a mere five thousand taels.
The system sounded in her mind, with a hint of helplessness: "Host, shouldn't you be concerned about who hired someone to kill you? Why are you entangled in how much silver you are worth?"
Lan Xiyue was slightly stunned, then a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She looked down at the account book, Mei'er - the maid who served her good aunt.
"Heh! Don't you even need to use an alias?" Lan Xiyue sneered, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Is she so sure that she can't go back and find them to settle the score?
Mo Liyuan glanced at the shopkeeper's trembling body and said, "Did you hear that? Miss Lan is worth at least ten thousand taels of gold. How much do you despise Miss Lan by accepting only five thousand taels?"
The shopkeeper kowtowed quickly and said, "No, I was wrong. I will definitely increase the silver next time."
Lan Xiyue walked out from the counter and kicked the shopkeeper, who immediately let out another scream of "Awooo".
"What, are you guys going to have a next time?"
The shopkeeper begged for mercy: "No... There won't be a next time, there won't be a next time, Auntie, we are also open for business, it's my fault that I didn't recognize you. From now on, we at Tuberose will not accept any orders from you."
Lan Xiyue looked at Mo Liyuan, a hint of doubt between her brows: "Your Highness, are assassins really that cowardly? Shouldn't they swear to die rather than obey?"
Mo Liyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly, "He is afraid of death!"
Lan Xiyue nodded in agreement, then pointed to the two hammers and axes trembling beside them: "These two guys are even more stubborn than the shopkeeper. They will never reveal their employer."
The shopkeeper's face turned even uglier when he heard this. He glared at the two hammers and the axe, his tone filled with anger and resentment: "The two hammers and the axe are just vandals in the store. They are useless!"
Lan Xiyue glanced at the shopkeeper with disdain: "Tsk... You're worse than trash!"
Mo Liyuan asked expressionlessly, "Miss Lan, how do you plan to deal with this?"
"Your Majesty, you are the high and mighty Prince. Those killers have blood on their hands. How to deal with them is naturally up to you, Your Majesty!"
Mo Liyuan's fingers gently stroked the ring on his thumb, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"They are trying to assassinate you, don't you have any idea at all?" His voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, with a force that could not be ignored.
Lan Xiyue spread her hands helplessly, a faint smile curling up at the corner of her mouth: "They all said that this is just business, and they are not the source behind the scenes. As for me, I am so kind and lovely, so naturally I won't bother with them."
At this time, all the men in black in the hall had been wiped out by Tianyi. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, which made people feel chilled.
The shopkeeper's body was shaking like a sieve and his face was as pale as paper. It was obvious that he was frightened by the scene.
Mo Liyuan waved his hand lightly, and a sword shining with cold light was firmly inserted in front of Lan Xiyue, and the tip of the sword trembled slightly.
Lan Xiyue looked at the sword in front of her in confusion, with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Your Highness, what is this?"
Mo Liyuan's eyes were as deep as the sea. He stared at Lan Xiyue quietly, "This shopkeeper accepted the order to kill you, and the reward was so small. It's totally unbecoming of Miss Lan's noble status. Kill him and vent your anger."
Lan Xiyue shook her head repeatedly, a look of horror on her face. "No, no, Your Highness, I can't do something like killing someone. I'm a kind person. I've already said I won't argue with the shopkeeper."
Just kidding, killing people doesn't fit her current personality. What's more, although the original owner was arrogant and domineering, she had never actually killed anyone. Why did this man feel like he was testing her?
Mo Liyuan slowly stood up and walked towards Lan Xiyue step by step. Every step seemed to be stepping on her heart, making her heart beat faster.
"I never thought that Miss Lan would be so kind."
Lan Xiyue forced a brilliant smile, "Your Highness~ It's not too late for you to understand me now..."
Before she finished her words, the sword that was originally stuck in front of her had pierced through the shopkeeper's body like lightning.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened and before he could even cry out in pain, he was already dead.
Blood stained his collar and splashed on Lan Xiyue's skirt, adding a bit of tragedy to the scene.
Lan Xiyue's face changed instantly. Damn it, this man must have done it on purpose. If he wanted to kill someone, then he would kill him. Why was it so bloody? He even stained her skirt with blood.
Mo Liyuan's voice rang in her ears like a spell: "Are you scared?"
"Oh... Your Majesty, I'm so scared..."
Mo Liyuan's mouth curled up slightly, "Lan Xiyue, your acting is so fake!"
"System, is my acting fake?"
System: “A little bit.”
"cut……"
"Lan Xiyue, you are arrogant and domineering, but this is just a minor incident. An ordinary young lady would be horrified at the sight of a corpse, but Miss Lan, you remain so calm. I am really curious, are you used to this kind of scene?"
Lan Xiyue's heart trembled, she knew that there was a deeper meaning behind Mo Liyuan's words.
She forced a smile, "Your Highness, you're joking. I've never seen such a scene before. It's just that what happened today was too sudden. I... I was just too scared and couldn't react for a while."
Mo Liyuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the woman in front of him with a deep gaze.
There was clearly no fear in those bright eyes, but rather a hint of cunning.
"Your Highness, I feel shy if you look at me like that!" Lan Xiyue suddenly spoke, her voice soft and playful, her face deliberately pretending to be shy.
Mo Liyuan couldn't help but let out a playful smile: "You're shy? That's new."
"No, Your Majesty, I am a woman. Is it strange for a woman to be shy?"
Mo Liyuan stared at her, his curiosity growing: Lan Xiyue was not only a skilled doctor, but she had also shown remarkable skill when she fought him that night. Who was her teacher? Why had he sent people to investigate for so long, yet couldn't find a single clue?
"What do you think?" Mo Liyuan asked back, with a hint of inquiry and amusement in his tone.
Lan Xiyue looked very happy: "Your Highness, if you look at me like this, I would think that you have fallen in love with me." After she finished speaking, she threw a coquettish glance at Mo Liyuan.
Mo Liyuan's heartbeat quickened and he frowned. He felt so out of control again, as if something was out of his control, making him extremely irritated.
He turned around and said coldly to Tianyi who was standing beside him: "Tianyi, clean up the matter here."
"yes"
"Hey! Why did you leave?" Seeing this, Lan Xiyue became anxious and hurriedly chased after him.
By the way, points, this is a good opportunity to earn points, how can we let it go easily?
So, she followed closely behind Mo Liyuan, jogging while constantly saying, "Prince, you are so handsome, I like you so much."
Every time she spoke, she could feel the joy of the system notifying her that points had arrived, which made her feel very happy.
Mo Liyuan's pace unconsciously quickened. He couldn't let this woman easily sway his emotions, but whenever he heard her nonsense, an indescribable feeling would always surge in his heart.
Seeing Mo Liyuan walking faster and faster, Lan Xiyue followed closely behind him, honking non-stop.
