Translator: Fan Translation Studio
Jin Xiaoyu snorted in an imposing manner, “Shut up! Shut up! Do you want me to end the auction and drive you away from my place? You can take your treasures and leave if you go on like this!”
The crowd became quiet. So did Wolf King, though with a meaningful smile.
Jin Xiaoyu continued with the event. Xiao Baoshan was also busy serving tea and water, and doing whatever else he could do.
The auction went on smoothly until it was Wolf King’s turn to show his treasures. He unfolded his bag roughly and shouted, “All of these belonged to the previous empress dowager. The jade hairpin, the nine-color gauzy dress she wore when she slept, and the luminous pearl…” He cleared his throat. “Blow out the candles. Let me show you how amazing it is.”
As the workers looked to Jin Xiaoyu for agreement, she nodded slightly in approval.
After the candles and lanterns were dimmed, the hall was still bright. The pearl was s.h.i.+ning dazzlingly in the darkness, just like the fullest moon. All the people, including Jin Xiaoyu, were amazed by its brilliance. In the past eight years running this inn, she had never seen such a desirable treasure as this.
Someone shouted from below the stage, “Mr. Wolf, give us a price!”
“We’ll start at 100 golden taels!” Wolf King shouted.
Someone raised the price immediately, “110!”
“130!”
“160!”
“…”
Then, 200 taels was called. The bidding stopped here. Jin Xiaoyu said, “No more bids? If not… sold for 200 taels!”
At this moment, Wolf King handed the luminous pearl to her. “Miss Jin, I have plenty of such treasures and I don’t give a s.h.i.+t about these 200 taels. As long as you spend a night with me, you can take this pearl or my money.”
Hearing this, the money-oriented lady smiled sweetly. “Really?”
“Of course! Do you agree or not?”
“I want both the pearl and the other treasures here. Can I?” She blinked.
“You’re asking for too much.” He didn’t want to go back empty-handed.
“I thought you were generous. How could I sell myself for a night for only one pearl? Don’t think too highly of yourself. Buy me or give up,” she said disdainfully.
Embarra.s.sed by her words, Wolf King compromised and claimed, “All right! Your attention, everybody! I will spend a night with Miss Jin and will give her all my treasures here in return. Please be my witnesses!”
The crowd hooted again.
“Well done, Wolf King!”
“Seize the day and get married! Hahaha!”
“Mr. Wolf, Mrs. Wolf, have a good night!”
“…”
Satisfied with the cheers, Wolf King laughed loudly. Then, he carried Jin Xiaoyu in his arms and headed for his bedroom.
The people below the stage were still yelling with excitement. What a bombsh.e.l.l that this amorous lady would give in for money!
…
When it became quiet, Xiao Baoshan and his fellows began cleaning tables and was.h.i.+ng dishes.
Idiot said, “It’s a busy night again.”
Fool proposed, “Let’s sharpen the knives first. Once Miss Jin gives the order, we can then start working.”
Xiao Baoshan felt somewhat strange. When he turned around, Fool stopped him. “Dumb, stay and help us knead the dough. We’ll have meat buns for breakfast tomorrow.”
Xiao Baoshan didn’t move to offer help.
Does Jin Xiaoyu want to kill Wolf King and make him into buns?
…
The candles in Wolf King’s room hadn’t been blown out. He was breathing heavily with l.u.s.t, but Jin Xiaoyu insisted that they drink to create a romantic mood before going to bed.
He held her rudely and raised her chin. “Create a romantic mood? Are you trying to get me drunk or narcotize me so that you can make me into steamed buns?”
She was dumbfounded. How did he know her way of treating lechers?
He burst out laughing. “You thought I’d never investigate you? You sell buns stuffed with human flesh in your inn, don’t you? Many of your admirers have come here but never left. It’s said they were swallowed by quicksands outside. But you know that’s not the truth, right?”
Her lies exposed, she maintained a calm manner. “Oh, don’t be so harsh to me. Am I like a vicious woman? Those are just rumors to ruin my reputation.”
He put his hand on her bosom. “If so, let me see what color your heart is. Is it red or black?”
“Oh, dear!” She flirted with him while trying to evade him.
Wolf King played with her at first. But soon, he got impatient and dragged her into his arms. “You want to escape? All the people in this inn know you belong to me tonight. Where do you want to go?”
“I…” Jin Xiaoyu giggled. The next second, she revealed a fierce look. “How could I escape you?”
She lifted her leg and swept it at his belly. He dodged to one side and she continued kicking. After a while, he roared with laughter. “Good girl! You still want to trick me, right? Let me teach you a lesson tonight!” Wolf King a.s.sumed an offensive posture and began fighting with her.
Jin Xiaoyu was highly skilled in martial arts and had loyal employees working for her, so she hadn’t been afraid of anyone for many years. As for those who made trouble, she had defeated them and cooked them into delicious food. However, Wolf King was more formidable than her. She soon realized that she was no match for him.
At this moment, he made a swift turn and pressed her against the bed. Unable to move, she cried, “He-help me!”
He laughed. “It’s no use calling them. I can defeat them easily.”
The people in nearby rooms also heard the noise, but they thought Wolf King and Jin Xiaoyu were having great fun with each other. Hearing her distress call, Idiot and Fool rushed upstairs.
Wolf King tied her hands and feet together and stuffed her mouth. When Idiot and Fool broke in, he fought with them and subdued them in a minute.
Jin Xiaoyu cursed herself. Alas, Jin Xiaoyu, you have such a great ambition to punish all the lechers in the world. But you finally got yourself into trouble, didn’t you? I’m afraid you’re going to be defiled tonight. All right, it’s just sleeping with him. It won’t kill you. It’s not a big deal to yield.
As Wolf King was about to pounce on her, another man appeared at the door. When she saw his face, her eyes lit up with hope.
Dumb!
“f.u.c.k! Another one! Would you please give me some peace?” Wolf King cursed. Why was it so difficult for him to enjoy a sweet moment?
He rushed forward to fight with the newcomer. Xiao Baoshan faced the challenge. The martial arts in the world could be divided into two categories. One was showy and imposing, while the other was known for practicality and deadly moves. Xiao Baoshan’s skills belonged to the latter, not as fancy as Wolf King’s but quick to hit the vital parts.
A quarter of an hour later, he managed to bring Wolf King under control. Wolf King was surprised at Xiao Baoshan’s strength and knew he was no match for this opponent. He was also confused about why such a powerful figure was willing to work in this inn.
Jin Xiaoyu must have trapped him here by coaxing or cheating, Wolf King thought.
He tried to reason with Xiao Baoshan. “Brother, if you were present at the auction, you should know this woman has taken all my treasures and money and promised to spend a night with me. But she went back on her word after entering this room and wanted to drug me before making me into buns. She broke her promise first!”
This man was his last hope to stay alive. Undoubtedly, it was useless to beg an employee of this inn. How he wished there was someone else to save him!
But to his surprise, the man in front of him said, “You’re right.”
Wolf King raised his face in disbelief. “You… you really think so?”
Xiao Baoshan replied, “It was Miss Jin who broke her promise first, so you can take your treasures and money back.”
“Mm-Mm,” Jin Xiaoyu objected. How could she let go of such a big fish so easily?
After releasing Wolf King, Xiao Baoshan walked up to Jin Xiaoyu. But he didn’t untie her before carrying her to her bedroom.
Regaining his freedom, Wolf King sighed with relief. He watched his treasures.
So I’m safe now? Will that man come back? Why does he look somewhat dumb? What if he really comes back? Perhaps Jin Xiaoyu will coax him to kill me!
The more Wolf King thought, the more scared he became. He packed up his luggage immediately. But he was afraid that Xiao Baoshan would catch up with him after he left. Hurriedly, he took the luminous pearl and went to find Xiao Baoshan.
At this moment, Xiao Baoshan had taken Jin Xiaoyu back to her bedroom, but he still hadn’t untied her.
She ordered him to release her with her glare.
But he said, “As you don’t want to do that with Wolf King, why did you cheat him out of money and even want to kill him? It’s wrong. I’m sorry I have to keep you like this until he leaves tomorrow.”
Jin Xiaoyu went crazy.
Why is Dumb so dumb? Can’t he see such a big luminous pearl?
