The handcuff chains were long and light, about two meters long, so Ye Qiuling's range of movement was not restricted much.
However, Xia Shizhao was shocked by the system several times because he did not make things difficult for Ye Qiuling for half an hour. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he ordered Ye Qiuling, who was hiding in the corner, to clean his room.
After cleaning the room, he nitpicked and made her redo it. In the meantime, the nanny brought dessert. Seeing that Xia Shizhao was constantly making trouble for Ye Qiuling, a hint of pity flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say anything because of her status.
Xia Shizhao ate a delicious piece of chocolate, glanced at Ye Qiuling who was silently massaging her legs, pinched her chin, and said with tenderness in her eyes, "Sister, open your mouth, this chocolate is not good, you can eat it."
Ye Qiuling glanced at the chocolate that had been bitten into and obediently opened her mouth. She was at their mercy, like a fish on a chopping board. She had to endure until she was able to escape from here.
She lowered her eyes and tasted the sweetness in her mouth. It was delicious. She rarely had the chance to eat such high-end candy, but why did she feel no joy? Hiding the bitterness in her eyes, she had struggled in poverty until she was seventeen. Suddenly, her biological parents found her. She was happy, but everything she had suffered here these past few days seemed unchanged from the past. She was still like an ant, bullied by everyone. And her biological parents did not love her as much as she had imagined.
Xia Shizhao sensed that Ye Qiuling's mood was off and gasped inwardly. She just wanted to give her some sugar. After being in solitary confinement for several days, the few snacks she received each day couldn't replenish her energy. Moreover, squatting for too long without moving could easily lead to low blood sugar.
But it seems to have hurt her pride.
Xia Shizhao passed away peacefully with his eyes closed.
She gently pushed her again, "Stop hitting me. I need to get to work. Just stay to the side and don't get in my way."
Ye Qiuling, who was already weak, was gently pushed and sat down on the ground. She didn't say anything, but just silently lowered her head.
Xia Shizhao suddenly remembered something, found the cold medicine and fever reducer he had taken before, picked them up and threw them to Ye Qiuling on the ground, "There's water nearby, take the medicine, so that Mom and Dad won't pity you when they come back and see you looking like you're half dead."
Ye Qiuling wanted to laugh but didn't hold it in. She burst out like a firecracker, "Pity me? Miss, are you mistaken? Who caused me to look like this? What are you pretending for?"
Xia Shizhao crossed his arms, lightly kicked her with his toe, and raised his eyebrows with a smug look on his pretty face. "So what? Who asked you to push me? You deserved it."
"Tsk."
Ye Qiuling picked up something from the ground and threw it at Xia Shizhao.
Xia Shizhao was caught off guard and hit, then her brain flashed an alarm, and the system reminded her that she should take action at this time to be in line with Xia Shizhao's character.
Xia Shizhao: ... ...
She frowned in annoyance, walked over to Ye Qiuling, and pinched her cheek hard. "Do you want to anger me?"
"How could I dare? I'm just a stray dog being bullied by Miss Xia."
Ye Qiuling looked at her provocatively.
"ha."
Xia Shizhao's hand slowly moved towards her neck, tightening little by little, before stopping just as Ye Qiuling began to have trouble breathing.
She stood up, her face darkening as she looked at Ye Qiuling and threatened, "Ye Qiuling, don't mess with me. If I get angry, the consequences will be severe."
"Serious? Let me die then! Kill me!"
Ye Qiuling, who had looked weak, suddenly stood up quickly and bit Xia Shizhao's neck with swift and precise movements.
Xia Shizhao instinctively activated the bracelet's punishment mode. Ye Qiuling collapsed to the ground the instant she was shocked by the electric shock, screaming in pain.
Xia Shizhao immediately turned off the device when he realized something was wrong. He then retreated to the table in a panic, clutching his gland area tightly. Because he was at home, Xia Shizhao wasn't wearing a bite guard and never expected to be bitten by Ye Qiuling in a fit of rage.
Xia Shizhao was still in shock. Good heavens, thank goodness Ye Qiuling was still a beta; if she were an alpha, she would have been temporarily marked.
Ye Qiuling, who had almost been electrocuted, sat up on the floor, weak yet arrogant, and said, "How was it? Weren't you scared when you almost got marked? Go tell that bastard!"
Xia Shizhao was also startled and couldn't help but shout, "You crazy lunatic!"
If it were the original Xia Shizhao, Ye Qiuling would probably have been beaten half to death. But the current Xia Shizhao was a bit depressed. She was a fan of the female lead who followed the story closely. She knew how miserable the female lead was before she climbed to the position of Dark Lord. She was constantly being chased and in danger. Although the author only summarized it in a few words, Xia Shizhao could imagine how dangerous it was because she had been kidnapped many times before.
Seeing that Ye Qiuling was already unconscious, Xia Shizhao didn't do anything. She was still a little unhappy that her neck was bitten and was covered in blood, so she dragged Ye Qiuling to her storage room and left her alone.
After finishing, Xia Shizhao walked to the mirror on the dressing table, looked at her terrifying neck, and gasped. She gently touched it, and the pain made her shiver, and tears instantly streamed down her face.
She muttered angrily under her breath, "It really hurts."
Looking in the mirror, Xia Shizhao applied iodine to his wounds and sprayed a bottle of C-grade recovery medicine. After a while, he put on a turtleneck undershirt to cover the wounds before opening the floating screen and listing the medicine he had been working on over the past few days for sale on the platform.
A sobering potion that can quickly restore you from being drunk or motion sickness. There are ten bottles in total, each costing 100 yuan and lasting for ten days. Buy two bottles and get a 10% discount on the second one.
This price isn't actually that expensive, because potions usually start at several thousand and are only ordinary C-grade, which most people wouldn't buy, let alone A-grade potions. However, Xia Shizhao figured that the cost of this potion wasn't high, so he wouldn't seek such a huge profit.
The moment the item was posted on the platform, someone saw it.
He Haolan frowned and looked at it for a while. No matter what level of potion it was, the price was one hundred? Could it be that it was made by pouring water down his throat? Although the sobering potion was not very useful, it was a lifesaver for people who often had social engagements. It would last for ten days, which was only ten yuan a day, and it was not a burden at all.
So the dialog box opened.
"Hello?"
Xia Shizhao didn't expect business to come so quickly. Looking at the potions he had practiced with listed on the page, he felt a little guilty, but still used standard terminology.
"Hi, I'm here."
"Is this potion really that effective?"
"Yes, it's the real deal!"
The system checked her, so there's definitely no problem.
Xia Shizhao got the test by throwing a tantrum because she was really broke; the prices here were so expensive!
However, Xia Shizhao did not expect that the reason why the merchants who came to her area, which was now a high-end district, deliberately set high prices for this area.
How can you prove it?
"Tenfold compensation for any counterfeit product!"
"...Show me your pharmacist certificate."
"I sold them for someone else, but I don't have any now."
He Haolan was speechless. As expected, it was a scammer. He snorted and placed the order directly. He wanted to see if the item was real. If it wasn't, he would be willing to pay ten times the price if it was fake.
Xia Shizhao felt relieved after seeing the person place the order. He happily swung his legs, thinking, "Great job! It sold as soon as it was listed."
I contacted Starlink Logistics, and they quickly packed and shipped the items.
