Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite The Bait Please

Chapter 23.2: A Deterring Show of Power

That was when he remembered that he had seemingly just been fed with an elixir…..

"What a strange woman….." The man muttered to himself under his breath, and then stood up shakily from the ground.

Subconsciously seeing that he had squashed quite a large patch of the foliage with his body, the expression on his face showed a rare moment of embarra.s.sment before he then leaped nimbly over the wall to leave.

After achieving her breakthrough, Qing Yu was feeling a lot more relaxed and she slept throughout till the next morning before she awoke.

She stretched lazily and then went to open up the window. The window looked out over the herb beds directly and she was able to see it clearly.

"Huh?" Qing Yu blinked her eyes in surprise, to see that the large patch of her herbs that had been ruined was now looking perfectly intact, restored to the way it was, showing no sign of having been flattened at all.

[What is going on here? Are her eyes seeing things bright and early in the morning? ?]

"Oww….. What is this thing?" A m.u.f.fled cry sounded outside.

The youth who was covered in morning dew had just come back, and before he had even stepped in through the door, he had stubbed his toe into something hard, his eyes staring wide with shock.

[What is this? Why is it placed here right in front of the door? ?]

"What's wrong Little Bei?" Qing Yu asked from inside, coming over and was about to open the room's door as she spoke.

Qing Bei quickly called out to stop her. "Sis, don't open the door just yet!"

Thereafter, he then approached carefully, staring measuringly at the thing that was wrapped up in black cloth. He gave it a probing nudge with his foot, and then shifted it position a little away from the door.

Qing Yu heard the noises and then opened the door. "What's wrong?"

Qing Bei pointed at the black wrapped package. "I saw this thing at the door the moment I came back, and I do not know what it is, but I do not think it is anything dangerous inside."

Qing Yu arched up an eyebrow and looked at it, before she reached out and wanted to pick it up. [Huh? I can move it? ?]

She exerted a bit more of her strength and was just able to lift it up.

She opened it to take a look, and a brilliant blinding gold shone out, from the neatly stacked gold bricks each about the size of a palm. There was also a stack of bank notes where each note was no less than ten thousand taels.

Qing Bei's eyes narrowed up as he stared. "There's so much money! ! ?"

There was also a letter within the bundle. Qing Yu picked it up and tore off the seal, and saw several lines of flowing script.

[Here is a million in gold. As I am currently only able to bring out seven hundred thousand taels in physical gold, I have drawn out the balance three hundred thousand in the form of bank notes, without a penny less.]

[The debt of having saved my life, is engraved in my mind.]

[For having carelessly damaged your garden, I am deeply sorry. I have ordered for the best workmen to restore the herb bed as much as possible and I hope that can appease your anger.]

Qing Yu curled up her lips. [This fella is rather conscientious! To think that he had even repaired her herb bed. A single elixir in exchange for a million in gold. It was a windfall no matter how one calculated!]

[Truly a case of fools have abundant wealth.]

"Sis, what is going on here?" Qing Bei had never seen so much money in all his life, and he did not know how to react at that moment.

He had not come back for only one night and what had actually happened?

Qing Yu smiled slyly and rubbed her chin. "It's nothing. Last night….. erm, an unexpected windfall fell right into our courtyard, that's all."

"Really?" Qing Bei's face was filled with suspicion and doubt.

"Of course it's real. Why would I lie to you?" With a click of her tongue, she wrapped the bundle back up, and the entire package then disappeared without a trace.

The fact that she possessed her own dimensional s.p.a.ce was something Qing Bei knew, and hence he was not surprised.

"You're back so early?" Qing Yu's lips were curled up as she ruffled the dew drenched hair of the youth, smiling as she spoke.

Qing Bei meekly remained in his position, allowing her to abuse the top of his head like she would a pet, the expression on his face soft and warm.
