"Steal Dongdan Shuiyue from the He family?" Even with her exceptional intelligence, Yan Hanxing was dumbfounded when she understood the little bandit's intentions: "Why would you steal a useless person? If you want to find someone usable, just steal Dongdan Yinxiang and control her. Wouldn't that be better than that useless Dongdan Shuiyue?"
“You can never imagine how much potential a person can unleash when facing dire straits or death,” Ji Fengyao said confidently, twirling a strand of her smooth, black hair behind her ear with her slender, fair index finger. “Moreover, in my opinion, the fact that Dongdan Shuiyue could still get the Dongdan family’s auction house to change to a white lantern when Dongdan Yinxiang had already completely taken control of the He family’s power is enough to show that Dongdan Yinxiang is far less intelligent than Dongdan Shuiyue.”
Someone as intelligent yet extremely impatient as Dongdan Shuiyue is better suited to the role of a "pig teammate," and is more likely to cause the Dongdan family of Fengyue Continent to be completely destroyed.
“If that’s the case, then Dongdan Shuiyue is indeed more useful than Dongdan Yinxiang, and worth stealing,” Yan Hanxing nodded in agreement.
Ji Fengyao: "..."
Bai Yusheng: "..."
"Worth stealing"—that sounds so strange.
Late at night, Yan Hanxing and Ji Fengyao, like two night owls, silently sneaked into the He family mansion.
Although the He family is one of the three major families in Guyue City, people in the mortal realm do not pursue enjoyment as excessively as those in the human realm. Therefore, the He family mansion is not as complicated as that of wealthy families in the human realm. It consists of a main courtyard, secondary courtyards, and side courtyards, with a clear distinction between the main and secondary structures.
Now that the He family is controlled by Dongdan Yinxiang, she naturally lives in the main courtyard.
The He family is, after all, one of the three major families of the ancient Moon City, and the direct descendants of the He family have always lived peacefully in the secondary courtyard.
As for Dongdan Shuiyue, who had temporarily lost power, she could only live in a secluded courtyard that no one cared about.
Ji Fengyao and Yan Hanxing didn't even encounter any night patrols before they easily slipped into the side courtyard and found Dongdan Shuiyue curled up like a dead dog in a blood-stained quilt.
Is that you?
Noticing someone approaching, Dongdan Shuiyue remained calm and asked weakly and indifferently.
"Hmm," Ji Fengyao replied softly, walking to the bedside and looking at Dongdan Shuiyue, who was so destitute that she was worse off than a beggar.
"You arrived quite quickly. As expected, you are no ordinary person." Dongdan Shuiyue barely managed to sit up. Her gaze towards Ji Fengyao was complex, containing both hatred that wished she could devour him to the bone and flesh, and hope that she could use him to make a comeback.
"If you're in this dangerous business, you wouldn't be alive today without some skill," Ji Fengyao said coldly and snobbishly, completely disregarding her hatred for Dongdan Shuiyue. "However, do you think you can afford to hire me in your current situation?"
Ji Fengyao's money-grubbing attitude dispelled Dong Dan Shuiyue's last doubts.
Or rather, it strengthened her resolve to take the final gamble.
"Name your price. I trust you won't ask for the entire Dongdan family's money," Dongdan Shuiyue said through gritted teeth, her words conveying the message that she could afford anything as long as the Dongdan family wasn't involved.
Heh, sorry, but what I really want is your entire Dongdan family!
Ji Fengyao sneered inwardly, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said ambiguously, "Even if I wanted the entire Dongdan family, you couldn't afford it. How about this, I want one-third of the mine in the Demon Beast Forest. If you can give it to me, I'll rescue you right now and heal your wounds."
