79 I Don’t Accept Any Other Types of Thanksgiving (1/2)

Rong Jialuo was surprised with her foresight. He paused for a moment before he said frankly, ”Err…I’m really curious about you…”

”You don't have to!” Gu Xijiu interrupted, ”It’s just a trade between us, Your Highness. You helped me bid for this bracelet and in return, I heal your illness. When you are healed later, it'll be over and done with. Thus, you don't have to know my name.”

Rong Jialuo coughed, ”If you could heal my recurring illness, then you are my lifesaver. That bracelet will be worthless in comparison to repay my debt of gratitude to you, so I want…”

”A million!” Gu Xijiu suddenly spat out two words.

Rong Jialuo, ”Ah?”

”If you feel sorry, pay me another million ounces of silver after I have healed your chronic illness.” Gu Xijiu said indifferently while her fingers were turning the silver needle lightly, ”Apart from that, I won't accept any other type of thanksgiving.”

Rong Jialuo choked, ”This…”

”If you aren’t willing to, just ignore what I said.” Gu Xijiu did not force him because it was her extra term and even if he rejected, he was not breaking the promise.

Rong Jialuo said nothing anymore.

As a crown prince, he could actually afford a million ounces of silver, hence, he agreed.

As Gu Xijiu earned extra, she said with happiness in her heart, ”Your Highness, we’ll need to place another three needles. Please continue.” Rarely, she continued explaining, ”The needle I placed just now, is just anchoring its tail and we'll need to place another three to remove it completely.”

Rong Jialuo, ”…” In order to cure his illness, he gnashed his teeth to continue the self-touching. Nonetheless, he requested too, ”Can you please let me know when you place the needles?”
