Amidst the gasps of the crowd, a fierce and savage tiger roared to life.
The roar of the beast seed to pierce through the hearts and minds of all present, instantly scaring everyone into retreating repeatedly.
Only the guards beside the cage remained unmoved, and Qin Fu stroked his beard, examining the giant beast with satisfaction.
"This is a ferocious beast from the deep mountains, caught by a hunter so days ago. Though the beast is fierce, having heard that you, sir, have a fondness for rearing wild animals, I spared no expense to purchase it as a gift for you. I wonder if you are pleased with it?"
Li Ren’s eyes moved slightly as he looked at the tiger’s fierce and intimidating glare. Just the aura of the king of beasts was enough to terrify people greatly.
Fortunately, there was a cage to contain it; otherwise, given its massive size, everyone present would have beco its al.
Previously, it must have been fed so drugs to keep quiet during transport. Now, as the drugs were wearing off, the beast’s malice erged, and its huge paws beat violently against the iron cage, as if it might leap out at any mont.
The others sat nervously, not daring to sit too close, with only Qin Fu remaining indifferent.
"If sir is satisfied, I shall have this king of beasts sent to your residence."
"But I have more gifts for you than just this. There are beautiful won upstairs, and I will have them perform for you. If any catch your eye, please feel free to speak up."
With that, he clapped his hands, and several won behind Ruan Mian descended the stairs.
What a fellow, Qin Fu also considered himself a tool to be used to win over Li Ren.
No wonder he sent such luxurious clothing for her to wear.
But unfortunately, he miscalculated.
As she thought of this, she stood motionless on the high ground, gazing calmly at them.
While the other won swayed gracefully, Ruan Mian, in her plain clothes, stood out uniquely.
Especially her eyes, devoid of fear, were like those of the fierce beast, carrying a crimson aura that induced fear in others.
Upon seeing Ruan Mian not wearing the clothes he had sent, Qin Fu’s brows furrowed slightly, and he called an old maid over to inquire what was happening.
The old maid had no choice but to report truthfully, "Master, the clothes were indeed sent over, but Miss Ruan refused to wear them, and as servants, we had no way to persuade her."
Qin Fu snorted; they had clearly reached an agreent, and she even agreed to serve Mr. Li well.
He also wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Li Ren about the weapons she made and push her towards Li Ren.
So he lowered his gaze and ordered the maid, "Send the clothes over again and make sure she puts them on. Tell her it’s my command, and our future depends on it; she should know her place!"
The maid reluctantly agreed and braced herself to take the clothes over.
However, Ruan Mian had already seen through his intentions. Seeing the clothes sent over again, she had already formulated a response even without the maid speaking.
Without hesitation, she descended the stairs, grabbed an apple from the table, and tossed it into the iron cage.
With a crunch, the beast bit through the fruit as if it were a skull, making the crowd gasp in awe. Her actions caught the attention of many, including Li Ren.
She smiled at Qin Fu and bowed slightly, "Lord Qin, those won each possess unique talents, but I’m a re country girl without exceptional skills."
"However, I do have a unique skill to make Mr. Li smile."
Seeing her so confident, Qin Fu assud she must have so real skills.
He smirked and introduced her imdiately, "Sir, this is whom I ntioned to you before, my adopted daughter, Mianmian."
Mianmian had already been ntioned nurous tis in communication with King Yan.
Qin Fu falsely claid her as his adopted daughter, saying the weapons were thanks to her talents.
So, even Li Ren’s gaze towards her changed.
In fact, even in the brief glance before, he had noticed this distinctive woman.
Clearly possessing delicate beauty, without adornnts, and dressed plainly—unlike the common won Qin Fu used to please him. Seeing her today, she indeed had a unique identity.
Indeed, anyone who could create such impressive weapons could not be an ordinary person.
Instantly, Li Ren beca interested, with his hands clasped behind his back, "Oh? What skills does Miss Mian possess?"
Ruan Mian looked at the fierce beast in the cage, took the water pouch from her body, and fearlessly approached the beast, pouring the water into its gaping maw.
