I beca increasingly convinced that Bai Huang truly wasnt a person to be looked down upon due to how intelligent she is.
She specifically displays it depending on the situation. When its just her and people she trusts, shell act haughty, threatening, arrogant, and basically display all there is to a bossy young missus attitude. But when it cos to dealing without foreign threats, she instantly becos a strong external help and wont hesitate to stand by my side to support .
To use an analogy, its like that kind of girl who demands that you kneel upon a washboard when at ho, but will be docile and obedient outside of the ho.
Pulun hadnt even expressed himself before he was stopped from speaking. But this person wasnt one to give up easily as he began informing Bai Huang about so basic knowledge. The general idea of the speech was birds of a feather flock together and that soone naturally outstanding like Bai Huang should hang out with similarly outstanding people. This way it could be considered that both families are well-matched in terms of social status, bah, I an, this way they could associate with each other.
In the end, Bai Huang raised her crossed legs, leaned on the chair, and placed her legs on the table. Then, she tilted the chair back 45 on its back legs and made it seem as if she was reclining on a flat surface. She used one hand to feel her bulging belly as she used the other to softly tap her lips. As she was doing so, she languidly yawned and responded:
Since youre saying that people are divided into groups, then I have even more reason to stay here. You should stop trying to trick . Its not as if I havent seen Li Yi before since the Overlord of Yunyang has once brought him along with him when seeking out. When this person was standing in front of , he wasnt able to speak clearly as he stared at my face. You think Ill be able to hang out with him?
She laughed and said:
Supposing that he really is talent with the sa family circumstances as mine, even then he, Li Yi, is not fit to be my friend. What kind of family background do I, Bai Huang, have? I am the Overlord of Yun Hais most doted on daughter as well as Yun Hais Bai Fengs dear younger sister. Among Eternal Heaven States 36 Overlords, Yun Hai is one that is at least within the top 10 while Yunyang is in the middle-back in terms of position. What is there to compare with my Yun Hai? This is the reason why Im advising you to stop using these perfunctory words to cheat . The way I make friends isnt based on their life experience or family background, its enough for them just to be interesting.
Pulun was left at a loss for words.
He really didnt dare speak any more bullshit to Bai Huang, but after preparing argunts for so long yet not able to coax even one of my people over, he couldnt help but abruptly flare up. He shot up and indignantly barked:
You allreally cant tell good from bad! Following such a useless City Lord, staying inside such a heavily damaged city. People seek to go up just as water seeks its way down, yet you all choose to do the opposite, a group of lunatics! Li De, very good, Ill rember this humiliation. I really do want to see what you can do without your status as Yunyangs fourth son!
Pulun left the banquet irate, walking towards the door as he howled:
Soone co! Soone co! Were returning to Yunyang! Were returning to Lingyun City, I want to report exactly what Ive heard and seen without leaving a single word out to the eldest young master!
In the distance, I beckoned:
Take care, I wont be seeing you out.
Afterwards, I proceeded to slam the table as I shouted:
Little Huang! How could you be so improper, to continue eating as we were speaking. Youve eaten so quickly during this rare chance of having at that all thats left are so damn green vegetables and bones. Are you the reincarnation of a hungry ghost or sothing?
With legs crossed and a toothpick in her mouth, Bai Huang spoke philosophically:
Speak as you will, I, your great aunt, have eaten my fill, I wont bicker with you~
I said to Moon, Felita, and Aleya:
No matter what needs to be said, I should say sothing from my conscience; today, Ive been moved by your actions. Also, thank you all.
Moon took a step back and remarked:
I feel goosebumps all over.
Felita rubbed her inflad eyes and giggled.
Aleya said in a deadpan manner:
Not like young masters usual style.
I lowered my head and spoke with exasperation:
Leave it.
Moon, the one managing West-Resisting Citys supplied, said:
But hey, you really shouldve received those gifts. Money, armor, farm tools, grain, these are all things that we need. Theres really no harm in accepting it. In any case, its not like you have any reputation to look after, all itll do is bring it down a bit if anything.
I coldly sneered:
I was thinking so too. But Im very clear on the kind of people my dad and older brother really are. There probably isnt much money, the armors are definitely old and worn out, the farm tools are definitely the ones that arent being used anymore due to better ones, and as for the grain, heh, its most likely one catty of millet mixed with three catties of sand. Do they think Im retarded? Making ruin my reputation even further without gaining much profit, they must be quite pleased with their wishful thinking.
Moon chuckled as she said:
You guys aresigh. Its improper for to comnt on soone elses family matters. But even so, in all my years of living, Ive seen a lot of repulsive things in this world, but Ive never once seen soones own father poach his own sons subordinates.
I shook my head in reply:
This isnt sothing to be happy about.
Moons smiling expression vanished as he nodded:
Were gradually being valuedthis is an unavoidable matter. Even if the overwhelming majority of people still look down upon us and believe that we wont get far, theres still that remaining minority that are beginning to take note of us. We need to speed up the developnt of our own power while simultaneously trying not to attract any more attention. It would be ideal if we did so stupid things.
As she spoke, Moon gave a glance intentionally or otherwise.
****, you better not count on pole dancing again!
I picked up my chopsticks and searched the table for quite a long ti before finding a slice of at in the potato stew. Then, I threw it into my mouth and chewed as I prepared to speak, only to chew twice and spit it back out.
******* ginger!
Bai Huang laughed:
You think Im stupid enough to not eat such a big piece of at and specially set it aside for you?
I waved my hand angrily and fud:
Take away all the dishes, lets take advantage of this gathering to discuss our future developnt. The current restriction to West-Resisting Citys developnt is already no longer due to the backwards conditions and has gradually beco population and land. Expansion must be on our agenda, whether its northwards or eastwards
Bai Huang stood up and took the initiative to say:
You guys talk, Im not very interested in this sort of thing. I feel a little too full, so Ill be out wandering around. Heji, accompany .
I knew that she was doing this to avoid arousing suspicion, so I didnt stop her from doing so. anwhile in my mind, my favorable impression of Bai Huang went up a little.
Even Moon spontaneously said after Bai Huang left:
Worthy of being called true nobility.
I nodded. Moon took out a sealed letter from her bosom and handed it over to .
He said:
This is a letter sent over from Zhao Chen through unconventional ans, delivered by a travelling rchant. Moreover, it was very mysterious, concealed in a hidden compartnt at the bottom of a porcelain pot. It required breaking the pot in order to retrieve it, thus achieving peak secrecy. The letter is addressed to you, so we dont have the rights to read it, but I have to say that the person sending it is a bit interesting.
I took the sowhat wrinkled letter and could tell that it had been folded several tis at a glance. The words on the envelope were as round as the person who wrote it and while it couldnt be said to be nice-looking, it absolutely wasnt illegible and I could see that each word was written with great earnesty
To: West-Resisting Citys City Lord Li De.
From: Abyss Citys City Lord Fang Yuan.
I opened the letter. The paper inside wasnt packed with many words, but I was faintly startled when I read it.
The first few words were
I heard that a certain gentleman has received no small asure of perplexion from my Thirteenth sister. This one is willing to work together with that gentleman for Zhao Chens 10 cities. Half for you, half for .
Little fatty, oh, little fatty, you might have a harmless outward appearance, but youve finally exposed your fangs.
