Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

“Though this forest may appear ordinary, but actually, there is a hidden formation within it to navigate. If no one leads the way, the both of you might not be able to get out of this place even after walking around for half a month,” said Jiang Wuhen.

“How much?” asked Ling Chuxi directly. She knew that Jiang Wuhen’s words were not wrong. This forest did seem to be a little odd. Without someone leading the way, it was truly not easy to navigate. To go back and seek out Su Yizhi for his help would be too time-consuming. Money was a small matter to save time.

“We are already so familiar with one another and furthermore the both of you have helped me out quite a bit. No matter what, we are still considered friends who have went through life and death stakes together. Considering all this, how unfamiliar would it be for us to talk about money?” said Jiang Wuhen with an awe-inspired look on his face, but then his words immediately took a sharp turn. “However, friendship is friendship, and business is business. The both of you aren’t willing to take advantage of me either, right?”

“How much?” asked Ling Chuxi again, almost unable to hold back from slapping Jiang Wuhen’s face. Wanting to put up a plaque of nobility while acting like a b*tch, this Jiang Wuhen was truly too despicable.

“Three thousand fine taels, you can pay half first,” proposed Jiang Wuhen with a chuckle.

“Lead the way,” instructed Ling Chuxi. In the end, she managed to hold back her desire to slap Jiang Wuhen and dug out another golden note to hand over to him instead. This despicable person. Sooner or later there will be a chance for her to teach him a lesson.

“I knew it. Miss Ling’s fame is renown, and now since you have even become the hall master of Resurrection Hall, you are definitely not one who would simply take advantage of others,” said Jiang Wuhen in casual flattery as he kept the gold note away and jumped into the driver’s seat on the carriage.

Jiang Wuhen drove the carriage, turning it east and west. Not too long after they departed, they left the forest area and returned to the main path.

“Hubby, hubby! I finally managed to find you!” Not long after the carriage exited the forest, Ling Chuxi heard Lady Xiao Rou’s “charming and tender” cheers.

The moment Jiang Wuhen saw the huge round waist belonging to the shy and eager Lady Xiao Rou, his expression immediately changed. He was so shocked that he paled and waved his horsewhip to quicken the horse and desperately make an escape.

“Son-in-law, it has been so hard to meet you. Why are you rushing to leave? I have even arranged a banquet for you. Tonight, the two of us shall have a few good cups to drink.” Jiang Wuhen has only managed to steer the carriage into an escape a short distance away when Lady Xiao Rou’s meat-butcher dad approached with a butcher knife in his hand alongside a few of his other brothers who looked just as beefy as him. They blocked off the road so the carriage could not go further. Though his face was bouncing with joy and his smile was extra dazzling today, he somehow looked extra scary.

Jiang Wuhen was so scared that his entire body trembled, and he almost fell off the carriage when his legs went soft.

“Need help?” asked Ling Chuxi with a mischievous smile.

“Well… well, yes. Many thanks, Miss Ling,” replied Jiang Wuhen in gratitude as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

“No matter what, we are still considered friends who have gone through life and death stakes together. However, friendship is friendship, and business is business. Isn’t that right?” continued Ling Chuxi as a mischievous light flashed across her eyes.

“What Miss Ling says makes sense. It makes sense,” said Jiang Wuhen in a panic with a forced smile on his face as he watched Lady Xiao Rou and the towering butchers wielding their glaring knives come closer and closer.

“Six thousand fine taels, you can pay half first,” said Ling Chuxi with a cold expression.

“Isn’t that a little expensive?” responded Jiang Wuhen awkwardly.

“Just now when you stated your price, I didn’t say anything about it,” continued Ling Chuxi coldly without any expression of compassion.

“You’re ruthless!” cried Jiang Wuhen as he stared at Ling Chuxi. Then he grit his teeth and dug out the still cold gold note from amongst his belongings and handed it back into Ling Chuxi’s hands.

Ling Yichen cast a few glances at Jiang Wuhen, finding his situation funny and pitiful at the same time. This clown. Trying to rip off someone like Ling Chuxi. He deserved to be unfortunate.

When Ling Yichen observed what was happening as they drove by earlier, he already knew what to do as he already had plenty of experience with these kinds of situations. Without needing to say anything, he flew off the carriage and made a single slash with the sword in his hand using his Battle Qi. Immediately after, an old tree beside the road with a diameter so wide, a few people would have to hug it in order to measure it, fell over, hitting the ground with a loud thud.
