But even though she's under someone else's roof, she's still a proper young lady;
It's unacceptable that the eldest daughter of the prestigious Dongdan family wouldn't even share a sip of tea with someone else; it would be a disgrace to her if word got out.
"Fire Phoenix has arrived. Please have a seat and some tea. This is some spirit tea that I just had someone buy," Dongdan Shuiyue greeted with a forced smile.
This was the first time in her life she had ever felt the pain of spending money on food and drink; she felt incredibly frustrated and angry.
But unfortunately, she now has to rely on others to turn her life around, and she can't even complain.
"I won't drink the tea." Ji Fengyao glanced at Dongdan Shuiyue's slender hand, which was gripping the teapot handle as if it weighed a ton and she couldn't bear to lift it. She then sat down opposite her with a smile and bluntly said, "Miss Shuiyue, there's no need to be stingy with these scraps of tea leaves. You'll soon be the Dongdan family's eldest daughter again, getting whatever you want."
Why are you being so direct? Don't I have any pride?
Dongdan Shuiyue felt a little embarrassed, but also a little excited: "What do you mean by that?"
"Before this, Miss Shuiyue, did you forget something?" Ji Fengyao adopted a standard business-oriented demeanor.
Her attitude reassured Dongdan Shuiyue and filled her with anticipation.
"Don't worry, I will never go back on my word. I will take you to where Dongdan Wenhao is hiding things right now. Huofeng, you can tell me your plans on the way there." Dongdan Shuiyue said and stood up.
The pot of spiritual tea on the table that had caused her such heartache suddenly seemed insignificant.
As long as she can return to the He family in Guyue City and regain control of the Dongdan family in Guyue City, she really doesn't need to care about this pot of tea!
“Alright, I, Fire Phoenix, like Miss Water Moon’s straightforwardness.” Ji Fengyao also stood up with a smile, politely gesturing for her to proceed, and said, “Miss Water Moon, please.”
Seeing how polite she was to Ji Fengyao, Dongdan Shuiyue's hostility towards Ji Fengyao dissipated considerably.
However, it has only dissipated temporarily.
These damned bandits, every single thing they took belonged to Dongdan Shuiyue.
She will take all these things back in the future, every single one of them.
As for the harm and humiliation they caused her, she will repay them in full in the future.
At most, I'll spare that fire phoenix's worthless life, as a reward for healing my dantian!
Walking half a step ahead of Ji Fengyao, Dongdan Shuiyue was in a good mood and daydreaming. Her steps were still a little unsteady, but she once again walked with that high and mighty, princess-like gait she used to have.
Following behind, An Zijin glanced at Dong Dan Shuiyue's swaying hips and raised her hand to suppress the wildly upturned corners of her lips.
She really couldn't understand why the young ladies from wealthy families always walked with their butts swaying like ducks.
Watching from behind was absolutely hilarious!
Ji Fengyao put her index finger to her lips and made a "shh" gesture to An Zijin, saying in a voice transmission, "Calm down, calm down. Right now, she's our cash cow. Let her show off for a while. We can't let this easy prize slip away."
An Zijin quickly pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh, and nodded vigorously.
Upon exiting the courtyard gate, Dongdan Shuiyue was clearly unfamiliar with the place and turned back to ask, "Fire Phoenix, where is this? Are we still in Guyue City?"
“This is the west corner of Guyue City. It takes more than a dozen alleys and more than twenty lanes to get to your Dongdan family’s auction house,” An Zijin stepped forward at the right time and answered clearly.
