Chapter 14 - Money making

Baili Hongzhuang clapped her hands and surveyed the two unconscious guys.

These two were only skilled in martial arts but lacked any talent for cultivation. However, they often came up with some devious ideas for Xuan Yuanhuan, which is why he kept them by his side.

"Coincidentally, when I'm short of money, someone comes knocking on my door!" Baili Hongzhuang's eyes gleamed with cunning as she took out their money pouches. Looking at the glimmering gold coins inside, even these lackeys' petty treasury seemed richer than her own!

Silently returning to the General's Manor, Baili Hongzhuang began rummaging through cabinets and drawers, searching for items she could pawn. Fortunately, she still had some jewelry. Pawning them should fetch her some money.

After all, she was the legitimate young miss of the General's Manor. Despite the general's mistreatment, she still had these basic pieces of jewelry.

Examining the jewelry placed on the table, Baili Hongzhuang rested her chin on her hands. "Even if I sell all of these, it won't be enough for the cultivation resources I need."

Cultivation was an expensive endeavor. Without sufficient resources, becoming a formidable expert was no easy task, especially considering she needed to catch up to Bai Liyuyan and the others as soon as possible.

"What can I do to earn money?" Baili Hongzhuang pondered. She had initially planned to refine a pill and sell it to make some money. However, her current financial situation didn't allow her to produce pills.

Suddenly, Baili Hongzhuang's eyes lit up. "Why not open a Divine Doctor Clinic!"

She had great confidence in her medical skills. Once the Divine Doctor Clinic opened, money would flow in endlessly!

...

Prince Cheng's Residence.

A gentle breeze rustled through the bamboo leaves, behind the curtain-like bamboo forest, a figure dressed in pale gold sat before a stone table.

The unparalleled beauty of his face no longer exhibited the insolence and teasing, instead, it bore wisdom and indifference. The only constant was his supreme and noble aura.

"Huomu, have you found out the girl's identity?" The thin lips parted, and obsidian-like eyes twinkled with a faint smile. He rarely encountered such an interesting girl.

"Master, that girl's identity is quite peculiar." Huomu's expression appeared somewhat strange. In fact, when he discovered Baili Hongzhuang's identity, he also found it exceptionally unusual.

With his eyebrows slightly raised, Emperor Beichen Chen smiled faintly, "How is it peculiar?"

"She is the legitimate young miss of the General's Manor—Baili Hongzhuang!" Huomu replied truthfully.

"Hongzhuang, Baili Hongzhuang," Emperor Beichen Chen repeated the two names, and the curvature of his lips gradually widened. "No wonder Xuan Yuanheng had such a strange expression when he first saw Baili Hongzhuang."

"How are the people sent by Xuan Yuanhuan to track Baili Hongzhuang doing?"

"After Baili Hongzhuang knocked Zhang Ping and Song Ji unconscious and took their money pouches, she... she also left a few words behind their backs."

Recalling what Baili Hongzhuang did, a hint of a smile couldn't help but surface on Huomu's lips.

"What did she write?" Emperor Beichen Chen's interest was piqued. Ever since he noticed that mischievous gleam in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes, he knew she was an extraordinary and playful woman.

"Prince Jing has the whitest buttocks! The Crown Prince's are even whiter!"

"Haha!"

Dibei Chen had just taken a sip of water when he heard Baili Huangzhuang's words and almost sprayed it out. This woman truly had a unique way of doing things!

There was a trace of amusement in Hei Mu's eyes. The little lord always maintained a calm and composed demeanor, so it was rare to see him react like this. Baili Huangzhuang was truly an entertaining person!

"Little lord, the Crown Prince has been targeting you. Should we take care of him?"

Hei Mu's face darkened. His little lord was an esteemed figure, yet he was being bullied by a mere Crown Prince! They couldn't tolerate it any longer!
