Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite The Bait Please

Chapter 26.2: Stirrings of Love in the Youth

Xuanyuan Che’s eyes were dark, and he did not force the issue. Ah Chi looked outwardly like a completely heartless fella, but his heart and mind were sensitive and meticulous. If he did not want to speak about it, then no one would be able to get anything out of him no matter how much one asked.

"That’s right, I wanted to ask how did you get injured? You got yourself into such a wretched state."

The moment he asked that, Mu Chi’s smile on his face immediately congealed, and he then said seemingly rather discomfited. "I don’t even want to speak about that. I went out with my friends to reminisce about old times while having a few drinks. On the way back, I just had to stumble into a intense fight between two great forces in the pugilist world. I did not want to draw trouble to myself and was just about to make detour around them when those people suddenly a.s.sumed that I was going to make a report and tell on them, where they then attacked me like mad."

Xuanyuan Che grinned and said: "I’ve told you that drinking will only bring you trouble and you refuse to listen. The day will come that you could be killed by a knife in the back and you won’t even know."

This fella had already begun to sneak into the Imperial wine cellar and stole wine to drink when he was just three years old. Hence, he had trained his body to develop a great tolerance for wine, sober after a thousand cups, drinking wine like he was drinking water.

Hearing the admonishing words, Mu Chi remained indifferent but just curled his mouth up in a sneer. Suddenly remembering something, the corners of his mouth then curled up and that good looking and handsome face became more excited in an instant.

Xuanyuan Che arched up an eyebrow. "What are you thinking of that made you so happy?"

"Huh? Nothing." Mu Chi shook his head with a smile. "Ah yes. Big Brother, aren’t you engaged to the Duke of Eternal Peace’s daughter? How is it progressing? When do you intend to get married?"

Xuanyuan Che was taken aback a moment. "Why are you asking about that?"

"I’m just showing you some concern!" Mu Chi blinked his eyes lovingly. "I heard that this Yan Ning Ruo is a rare beauty throughout the lands, and only the Water Edge Kingdom’s Ninth Princess can match up to her beauty under the Heavens. You’ve really become the envy of people."

"If you like, why not you marry her?" Xuanyuan Che’s lips stiffened as he said, his mouth an imperceptible smile.

"No no no, that must not happen. I do not have that kind of fortune. Firstly, I have no money, and secondly, I hold not authourity. Even just marrying a woman from a good family will be hard for me!" Mu Chi’s face was looking sorrowful and forlorn, his brows knitted in grief.

Xuanyuan Che could not help but kick out with his foot at him. "You’re still crying here about being poor? Do you think that I do not know that you took out a million in gold a few days ago? Why did you need so much money?"

Mu Chi lifted an eyebrow up. "You’re spying on me?"

"What spying! ? I had merely come over to see you and I unintentionally overheard you giving orders to your subordinates."

"Oh I see....." Mu Chi rubbed his chin. "It wasn’t anything much. I was poisoned and injured, but was saved by someone. That was the remuneration that I promised the other party."

Xuanyuan Che’s brows jumped up violently. [Has this fella been conned and he doesn’t even realize it?]

[It was a million! And in gold!]

[That would be enough to buy an entire city already you know? Isn’t person just committing daylight robbery! ?]

"Who is this person that saved you?" Xuanyuan Che asked with his brows knitted up.

"What are you thinking of doing?"

"Humph. That is pure extortion. A million in gold. You’re so generous aren’t you? Giving it out just like that."

"Isn’t my life not worth that one million in gold?" Mu Chi snorted derisively. "Don’t tell me you’re going to ask for it back? As the Crown Prince of the country, aren’t you being a little too petty?"

Xuanyuan Che burst into mocking laughter from anger. "Seeing that you’ve been extorted of a million in gold, you seem to still be rather happy about it aren’t you?"
