Fifty thousand Qian Gold, that’s certainly no small amount.
Although the Changning Wang Family is currently developing well and seems quite wealthy.
In reality, the larger the family, the greater the expenses. The supply of various Spirit Pills and Spiritual Food for the clan mbers, which of these isn’t a huge expenditure? But if we were to save on those costs, with the current foundation of the Wang Family, how could we ever catch up to those families that have developed for hundreds or even thousands of years?
Therefore, even though the Wang Family is quite good at making money now, they are still in dire need of funds.
So, perhaps?
Wang Shouzhe felt a slight temptation...
But this thought flashed by quickly, and he imdiately reaffird his resolve.
Wang Shouzhe, oh Wang Shouzhe, you must hold the line and not falter over a little money...
"I’ll add another fifty thousand, making it one hundred thousand Qian Gold in total." Seeing that Wang Shouzhe seed a bit swayed, Lady Bilian imdiately raised the offer, appearing bold and generous. "I know your Changning Wang Family is wealthy. But opportunities to earn an additional one hundred thousand Qian Gold without lifting a finger don’t co often. Would Patriarch Shouzhe consider?"
Without lifting a finger?
Wang Shouzhe gave her a ghost of a glance.
Lady Bilian, are you underestimating ? Nevertheless, to avoid being scolded by my wife, I’ll pass on these ten thousand Qian Gold.
"Lady Bilian, please refrain from speaking nonsense." He imdiately stood up, speaking righteously, "I am already married, such improper thoughts, Lady, please don’t ntion them again."
"Uh... Could it be that Patriarch Shouzhe misunderstands?" Lady Bilian’s expression froze slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her enchanting eyes. "Where did the ten thousand Qian Gold co from? If I truly harbored such improper thoughts, this amount of money would be enough... Pee-yew-Pee-yew~ Wang Shouzhe, I am not that kind of person."
Did I just misunderstand?
Wang Shouzhe was also taken aback, then frowned and said, "Perhaps so unsavory gentleman has set his sights on you, and you need to act as a shield?"
"Patriarch Shouzhe, please don’t overthink." Lady Bilian couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, "Think about it, with my status, which fool would dare to force into anything I didn’t want to do? If soone was truly so reckless, I would have already ordered several Household Generals to cut them into minceat."
Well~ to be fair, Lady Bilian’s background is indeed significant.
It is said that she’s from the direct line of a Purple Mansion Family from a certain County, and her current family, the Yuwen Family, although they have fallen from being a Purple Mansion Family, they are still a formidable Sixth-Grade Noble Family, and few would be foolish enough to provoke them.
"It’s neither this nor that, so what exactly is the matter?"
Wang Shouzhe was helpless.
He couldn’t be blad for overthinking, it was just too hard to imagine what kind of situation would require a handso and outstanding man to resolve.
Lady Bilian frowned slightly: "This matter concerns so secrets of our Yuwen Family. If I tell you, even if Patriarch Shouzhe doesn’t want to help, I ask you to keep it confidential."
Wang Shouzhe pondered briefly: "Confidentiality can be assured. But whether I will help, I need to consider comprehensively."
"Based on the level of your Changning Wang Family and your personal reputation, I will trust you this ti." Lady Bilian hesitated briefly before finally speaking up, "This matter, in fact, concerns our Yuwen Family’s founding ancestor. He once adopted a Spirit Beast—a Three-tailed Fire Spirit Fox."
"As you know, Multi-tailed Spirit Foxes are ancient spirit species with powerful bloodlines, so the Yuwen Family has always taken great care of her. Now, a millennium has passed, and she has reached the Six-tailed Peak and is about to grow a seventh tail. At that ti, her intelligence will open greatly, and her strength will rival the Purple Mansion. Our Yuwen Family will also see a significant increase in strength due to the Seven-tailed Spirit Fox, even if we still don’t count as a Purple Mansion Family, it will still deter various scrupulous people, quelling many covetous intentions."
Wang Shouzhe was slightly amazed: "This is a good thing, could there be any difficulties?"
He thought to himself, the Yuwen Family indeed worthy of having fallen from a Purple Mansion Family to a strong Sixth-Grade Noble Family, such deep roots. Just that Six-tailed Peak Spirit Fox alone could wipe out many Seventh-Grade Noble Families.
"The difficulty is that the Six-tailed Fire Demon Fox has a rather peculiar temper." Lady Bilian said with a face full of helplessness, "She just fancies handso, young, and exceptionally outstanding young n to feed her Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, especially detesting won, the vast majority of ordinary n are also disliked. Now, as she’s about to reach her breakthrough period, her demands have risen. The young handso n I used to befriend, she’s indifferent to, lazily unwilling to advance."
Wang Shouzhe broke into a cold sweat listening, there really is such a hard-to-please Clan Guardian Spirit Beast?
The Primordial Water Spirit Turtle in his own family is so well-behaved and obedient.
But realizing this, he did understand why Lady Bilian had a tendency to associate with young and handso n, likely mostly for this reason.
"You don’t need to do anything else, just chat with her, and coax her into eating the breakthrough Heavenly and Earthly Treasures." Lady Bilian said, "Our Yuwen Family’s Six-tailed Fire Demon Fox is gentle in nature, apart from this little quirk, everything else is pretty good. As long as Patriarch Shouzhe can complete this task, we will present the ten thousand Qian Gold in full."
The Yuwen Family is no longer as powerful as in their peak days, yet they still hold considerable assets, appearing to be a large cake in the eyes of so interested parties, everyone wants to get a slice, take a bite out of the Yuwen Family.
