CH 112

Fifty Dragons (2)

Ao Xue frowned when he saw the two maidservants who were blocking his way. “Scram.”

The elder maidservant laughed. “Master, our madam is still waiting for you at home. Who’s this you’ve taken a fancy to this time? An…”

She ran her eyes over Bai Shuiyao for a moment and said in a delicate voice, “…uncouth slut?”

Their two maidservants did not give face to Ao Xue at all and just outright called Bai Shuiyao a slut, making her face ugly with anger.

Feeling secretly pleased, Mu Wanwan looked up at the other customers, only to find that unbeknownst to her, there were only a few people left in the main hall.

She was a bit daunted, but still remained seated——

She was wearing a veiled hat and not a face veil, and had also advanced in rank. If she didn’t speak, given that she was sitting far away, Bai Shuiyao wouldn’t discover her, right?

“What is Jiu’er making a fuss about now?” When Ao Xue heard the two people in front of him mention his wife, a touch of helplessness crossed his eyes.

“Our madam is not making a scene. She simply asked us to pass on the message that if Master really likes her, just take her back to be your concubine. You have to do things the right way. Otherwise, if some trashy servant hooks up with you somehow, and if she happens to be in the flesh business, it would be a disgrace to our madam if others knew. After all, our madam is the princess of the nine-tailed fox clan.” The younger maidservant spoke eloquently, just short of pointing at Bai Shuiyao’s nose and calling her a whore.

The princess of the nine-tailed fox clan?

Mu Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat. In the original body’s memory, there was a trace of a sporadic memory of this personage.

The little princess of the nine-tailed fox clan, the little mermaid princess of the merpeople clan, and the little princess of the elf clan, were called the three peerless beauties of Mister Long’s territory.

The original Mu Wanwan had already heard of them when she was still young, but Mu Wanwan didn’t expect the little princess of the nine-tailed fox clan to have married Ao Xue. In that case, it wasn’t much for her maidservants to be a little arrogant.

However, wasn’t the nine-tailed fox clan the best at charm arts? Why would Ao Xue leave a peerless beauty at home alone and come out to pick a wildflower like Bai Shuiyao?

Before she could give it much thought, she heard Ao Xue say——

“Then, take her back.” After the disturbance by these two maidservants, his pleasure was greatly reduced. He threw Bai Shuiyao to the ground. “Tell Jiu’er I’ll go back for dinner in the evening.”

With those words, he walked off with scales flashing on his face, ignoring Bai Shuiyao, who was sobbing softly on the ground.

“Lord Ao Xue!” Bai Shuiyao called out the name of the man who had just been playing roughly with her.

“What are you shouting about?” The younger maidservant pulled her by the collar and slapped her unceremoniously.

Mu Wanwan was a little dazed by the turn of events, but she inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t move and waited for a while after the two maidservants escorted Bai Shuiyao away before settling the bill and leaving.

When she was settling the bill, the manager gave her a long look but didn’t say anything.

Mu Wanwan was feeling a little scared after the event. She knew that her decision to stay was probably too risky, but it wasn’t for nothing as she had gotten so much information.

She had been very worried at first, but now it seemed that Bai Shuiyao has not yet bewitched Ao Xue. With the nine-tailed fox clan’s little princess watching, Bai Shuiyao wouldn’t be able to make any waves in a short time. However, Mu Wanwan wasn’t ready to go back just yet.

Bai Shuiyao hooking up with Ao Qin meant that her female lead aura still exists, and there might come a time when she would make Ao Qin completely obsessed with her. Now that Mu Wanwan had a little bit of power, she can’t sit around and wait for death like last time.

Besides, there was one thing she was very concerned about. The nine-tailed fox clan held a lot of clout amongst the daemons. As the youngest princess, even if Jiu’er had been blind and truly fell in love with Ao Xue, looking at what an asshole he was after marriage, how is it possible that she hasn’t kicked him away to find someone else?

This wasn’t the ancient times in dynastic history— on this continent, as long as one had power, they could have as many men as they wanted.

She had a gut feeling that there must be a reason for it.

Mu Wanwan held down the brim of her veiled hat and headed for Xianqing Pavilion.

Xianqing Pavilion specialised in the trade of information, and had branches all over the continent, including the county where the original body came from. It’s just that she has never been to the one operated by elves before. However, she had to go this once.

……

More than two hours later, Mu Wanwan came out of the Xianqing Pavilion, finished making the rest of her purchases, and was ready to return.

She had taken quite a long time this time. Hong Ye had waited outside for a long time before seeing her.

“Madam, you took so long today,” greeted Hong Ye.

“The vegetables and purses didn’t sell too well today.” Mu Wanwan sighed and put the back basket that had been filled with some newly-bought cotton clothes of the cheapest sort on the cart first before getting on the ox cart herself.

Hong Ye agreed, “It’s hard to do business nowadays. The elves are better at cultivating things.”

Mu Wanwan went with the flow, “Then, let’s go to the humans’ market next time.”

Hong Ye teased, “Madam, you just got your monthly stipend. Don’t spend too much.”

Mu Wanwan knew she was talking about the medium-grade spirit stone that Fuliu had taken out last time, smiled, and handed her a few silver coins, “I’ll still have to trouble Hong Ye for many things in the future.”

Hong Ye took the silver coins, “Thank you, madam.” Hong Ye winked and didn’t refuse.
