Chapter 116 - Live With Dignity
Standing in the main hall, Yun Qianyu was pissed. She wanted to curse at him and even beat him to a pulp.
It was her money and she had said that she wanted to buy an Essence Cleansing pill. However, this man now wanted her to give a reason for spending her own money?
Yun Qianyu glared at Xiao Jiuyuan angrily. If glaring at someone could kill them, Xiao Jiuyuan would be full of holes now.
However, his attention was not on Yun Qianyu, but on his own hand. He looked at his hand with a slight frown as he recalled that his hand had touched someone else’s face. Feeling disgusted, Xiao Jiuyuan abruptly ordered, “Bring water.”
Outside, Bai Yao answered and soon came in with water.
Xiao Jiuyuan washed his hand over and over again in the basin of water Bai Yao had brought over.
With the utmost seriousness, Xiao Jiuyuan first washed his thumb, then the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and finally the little finger.
He washed seriously, but his movements were extremely elegant. Even if it was just simple hand washing, his actions still held an incomparable charm. Unfortunately, Yun Qianyu could not appreciate the man at the moment, she only had the impulse to swear at him.
She really wanted to ask him, ‘Is my face toxic or something? Why did you have to repeatedly wash your hands?’
However, Xiao Jiuyuan did not only wash his hands, after washing his hands, he wiped them again and again with handkerchiefs. Not one, not two but three handkerchiefs were used to wipe his hands.
Looking at the clear water, and then at the clean towels, Yun Qianyu finally couldn’t hold back anymore and said, “Your Highness, is my face poisonous?”
‘It would be great if it was poisonous! Poison your pompous as*!’
Yun Qianyu was ridiculing Xiao Jiuyuan in her mind and didn’t expect him to reply to her, but Xiao Jiuyuan did, “It’s ugly.”
Yun Qianyu felt completely defeated. Her face darkened and she was silent for a long time.
Feeling an impulse to slap Xiao Jiuyuan, Yun Qianyu thought, ‘Ugly and dirty are two different concepts dumbas*. Obviously, ugliness can’t be washed away!’
Even though Yun Qianyu was pissed, Xiao Jiuyuan didn’t care and just relaxed lazily in his chair. He looked at her without a care, then said in a flat voice, “Since there’s nothing more, you can go back then.”
Yun Qianyu immediately turned around and started walking out. She didn’t want to interact with this man any more. Interacting with him would surely shorten her lifespan.
However, when she arrived at the door, Yun Qianyu suddenly realized something important: money! How could she be so pissed that she forgot about the money?
Realizing this, she went back to Xiao Jiuyuan, but this time she stopped a meter away from him.
“Your Highness, what about my money?”
“Reason,” Xiao Jiuyuan no longer looked at Yun Qianyu, but was reading the book in his hand. At this time, he didn’t seem as intimidating as before.
At this time, he was reading quietly, just like a perfect painting. Unfortunately, Yun Qianyu was not in the mood to appreciate this painting. She thought hard about the reason to give Xiao Jiuyuan, so that he would be more willing to give her money.
“Your Highness, the reason why I want to buy an Essence Cleansing pill is so that I can cultivate my spirit energy. I want to make myself stronger so that I will no longer be bullied by others. I want to live with dignity.”
