Chapter 8 Unexpected Reward
Chapter 8 Unexpected Reward
Seeing that Xie Lan still refused to accept it, Guard Zhao couldn't help but question her for asking such an exorbitant price.
Xiao Jin took out a silver ingot and asked, "Is that enough?"
Xie Lan looked at the five taels of silver in his palm and was slightly surprised.
So stingy?
Although she didn't want to accept any money from the other party, the young man was wearing a brocade robe that looked low-key but was actually expensive, and it was obvious that he was a wealthy man.
She originally thought that this kind of young man would at least spend a hundred or eighty taels, even if he didn't spend a fortune.
I didn't expect that she was overthinking it.
Xiao Jin is tall and can see the other person's expression clearly.
He sneered in his heart.
The long arm was retracted and stretched out again.
The silver ingot was gone, and a gold leaf was sandwiched between the index finger and the middle finger.
“Since you are known as a half-immortal, why don’t you count these two guards for me?
If the divination is correct, this gold leaf is the divination money. But if the divination is not correct, I will send you to the government for prosecution. What do you think?"
It was a chance meeting, and Xiao Jin didn't want to pay much attention to it.
Since Kun Gu dared to deceive him today, he must teach her a lesson and let her know that not everyone in this world can be deceived.
Xie Lan lowered his eyes, his gaze motionless.
But what she was looking at was not the golden leaf, but...
This young man's palms are broad and strong, the lines of his fingers are smooth and clear, the knuckles are distinct, and his skin is smooth and...elastic.
There is an inexplicable attraction.
This hand must feel good to the touch.
Xie Lan stared at him intently, but her eyes were lowered, so Xiao Jin didn't see the look in her eyes.
Seeing that she was staring at him without blinking, she thought she was mesmerized by the gold leaf in his hand.
His expression was even colder. "I wonder if the fairy lady has made up her mind. Do you dare to tell fortunes for my guard?"
Xie Lan's thoughts were interrupted and he raised his eyes to look at the other person.
"It's just fortune-telling, why not? But the fortune-telling fee I want is not ordinary money." Xie Lan smiled, paused, and continued.
“If this fairy lady has made a mistake, you can handle it as you wish.
I wonder if you will pay me if I calculate correctly?"
Spiritual energy was hard to come by, and she was wondering if it was unethical to take it from the other party. But since the other party was going to hand her over to the authorities, she didn't need to feel guilty.
Xiao Jin frowned and didn't want the gold leaves.
"I wonder what reward the girl wants?"
Xie Lan was about to speak, but unexpectedly he was a step too late.
A familiar and excited voice came from above my head, "Young Master is so handsome, I don't want gold. You just need to sleep with me."
Hearing these delicate yet explicit words, everyone looked up.
Looking at the parrot on the treetop, acting like a courtesan, the veins on Xie Lan's forehead jumped.
She didn't even know when the fat bird flew back quietly.
Xie Lan secretly used her eyes to warn it not to ruin her plans.
But the parrot was not afraid because it was standing high.
After making two cackles, the tone of voice changed to a coquettish one.
"Sir, I am so beautiful, come and sleep with us. Come, I will help you undress, okay?"
Seeing that the fat bird was getting more and more explicit, Xie Lan's eyes went dark.
Afraid that if he continued talking, the slut would even scream, Xie Lan pulled out the feather fan with a threatening look on his face.
The parrot, who was talking excitedly, finally came back to his senses when he saw his own feathers.
"Kill the bird, kill the bird." Thinking of the pain of plucking its feathers, it flapped its wings in panic and flew away screaming.
The two guards and the coachman looked embarrassed.
Xiao Jin withdrew his gaze from the tree. Although his expression showed nothing, his voice seemed to contain ice.
"Is that the bird the girl keeps?"
How could Xie Lan admit it in such an embarrassing situation? "No, it was probably raised by a prostitute in a brothel."
The two guards and the coachman did not doubt Xie Lan's words. After all, what the parrot said was exactly the same as what the prostitutes in the brothel said.
Xiao Jin looked at her steadily with a cold expression on his face. Xie Lan couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.
Just as she was hesitating whether to say something else to change the subject, Xiao Jin suddenly spoke.
"I wonder what reward the girl wants?"
Xie Lan didn't know much about spiritual energy and didn't know how to absorb it from this young man.
I don't know if physical contact is necessary?
"Why aren't you talking, young lady? Could it be that the reward you want is for me to...sleep with you?"
what?
Xie Lan tilted her head back and looked at the other person, her eyes wide open and her red lips wide open.
It’s no wonder that Xie Lan was surprised. Even the two guards, Zhao Chong and Yang Feng, looked embarrassed.
How could their young master ask such explicit questions to a girl?
Xie Lan did not expect the other party to ask directly. This young man was already handsome, and his dazzling golden light under the moonlight made her even more eager.
Suddenly, a voice in my heart screamed wildly.
Sleep him, sleep him, sleep him...
Just when Xie Lan was about to make a move.
Suddenly a cold snort was heard.
Xie Lan came back to his senses instantly.
What's going on? She's not possessed, so why is she thinking about sleeping with someone all the time?
Seeing that the other party looked unhappy, Xie Lan blinked and cleared his throat.
"Sleeping with you... no need. If I can calculate correctly, could you let me... touch your hand?"
What she originally wanted to ask was how to obtain spiritual energy, but then she changed her mind and thought, how could someone who was not related to her tell her so casually about such a precious thing?
It would be better to take direct action and absorb some spiritual energy from the other party.
As for whether the other party would think she was shameless or something, she didn't care that much.
After all, she is about to die, so her reputation is not important.
Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Feeling the sudden chill in the atmosphere around her, Xie Lan had no choice but to quickly say, "Young Master, don't misunderstand me. I just saw that you have a good fate and good fortune, so I want to take advantage of you."
It's not that I'm attracted by your beauty.
Seeing the young man in front of him looking at him coldly but saying nothing.
Xie Lan's heart was beating fast, but he just looked at the other person with a smile on his face.
The scene was a bit awkward. Just when Xie Lan thought the other party would walk away, he heard the other party say coldly, "I agreed, but... let me remind you.
If you calculate incorrectly, you will go to jail."
Xie Lan didn't expect the other party to agree. His eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Don't worry."
She would never go to jail, not in her life.
Zhao Yang's two guards widened their eyes in surprise.
Under normal circumstances, if those ladies looked at them for a few more seconds, their young master would avoid them as much as possible.
But today, the Taoist nun wanted to touch the young master's hand, and not only did he not turn away, he actually agreed.
If they hadn't been inseparable from the young master, they would have suspected that he was possessed by a ghost.
Xie Lan didn't know what the guard was thinking. This was a rare opportunity, and she didn't want the guard to go back on his word.
"Which of you comes first?"
"Calculate it for me first. I want to see if you are really capable."
Zhao Chong's attitude was not very good, but Xie Lan didn't mind.
He took two looks at his face, then raised his hand and counted on his fingers.
"Zhao Chong, 17 years old, the fifth child in the family. His parents are still alive, and he has three older brothers and one older sister. You are the late-born child of your parents, and you have had a smooth and easy life since you were a child. You got engaged to your sweetheart a year ago. However, your marriage could not be completed..."
