Yeah, so what does he want?
She couldn't possibly expect him to be like her master, punishing her by making her reflect on her mistakes in the corner and then playing with her at the bottom of the cliff.
Punishing him by preventing him from finding herbs for her is absolutely unacceptable; his life is at stake.
Seeing the young bandit girl hesitate, Shang Xiye coaxed and threatened her gently, saying, "Your Highness, do you think that besides me, who else in this world would dare to search for so many medicinal herbs for you so openly? If I don't agree, even the Emperor and the princes won't be able to get their hands on so many herbs so quickly. Are you sure Your Highness wants to break up with me because of this small punishment?"
"Are you threatening me?" Ji Fengyao was a little confused and a little angry.
"No, I am reasoning with the princess," Shang Xiye said, gently lifting the little bandit's chubby chin with his index finger.
Screw your logic, this is blatant threat!
Having finally witnessed the Ninth Prince's tough (and cunning) side, she had to admit that he truly possessed such abilities.
Otherwise, most of the powerful figures in Kyoto, including the one in the palace, wouldn't be so wary of him.
"Isn't Your Highness afraid that I'll poison you first? Once you're dead, the threat from you will cease to exist," Ji Fengyao gritted her teeth in hatred.
"Are you sure that with Wang Ben dead, the threat from me is gone?" Shang Xiye smiled and gave her a slow, deliberate peck on the lips. "A person loyal to me can't destroy the world, but he's more than capable of destroying a country. What's a mere Vulture Village? Your Highness can give it a try."
As he spoke, Shang Xiye took Ji Fengyao's small hand and placed it on his chest, smiling meaningfully: "I know that the princess has a habit of carrying silver needles with her at all times. I will not resist. Come, stick them here."
His heartbeat was so strong and powerful that when she placed her hand on his chest, it felt as if his heart was beating in her palm.
Even more deadly is...
The person who usually guards so closely that no one is allowed to touch his mask has now taken it off on his own initiative.
The moment that face, so incredibly handsome yet so intimately familiar, appeared, Ji Fengyao's entire battle line collapsed.
“Little darling, come here and stab Master. If you stab here, Master won’t be able to move.”
"It really is!"
"Little darling, please don't prick your master here. If you do, even a god can't save him."
"But I want to try! Hey, Master, don't run away!"
"Little Jiaojiao, your acupuncture technique needs improvement."
"Does it hurt, Master?"
"It doesn't hurt. Next time, if you prick the right spot, it won't hurt."
The past events are still vivid in her mind, but the master who cherished her has been gone for a long time.
"Master..." Ji Fengyao murmured silently, her lips trembling as if she were about to cry.
Master, someone is bullying me, why don't you come and help me beat him up?
Shang Xiye had considered that the little bandit girl might fight him, but he never expected her to want to cry. He panicked a little and quickly coaxed her, "Three thousand medicinal herbs every month!"
bite!
Ji Fengyao's rare display of delicate and charming emotions was instantly captivated, and she quickly began to make plans in her mind.
Three thousand per month, thirty-six thousand per year, one hundred and eight thousand in three years.
Choosing 666 out of 108,000 medicinal herbs should be about right.
Even if it's still not enough, there's still about six months left, which should be enough time to find all the antidote ingredients for the Time-Freezing Pill.
Having successfully diverted the little bandit's attention, Shang Xiye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking to himself that he had probably gone too far today, he was secretly blaming himself and trying to get up without making a sound when suddenly the little bandit girl beneath him beamed and said, "Deal! Your Highness must keep your word!"
