”Bai Wu, you've lost a lot of weight, why don't you take good care of yourself?” Qiao Liangjin who was in Bai Wuyi's embrace asked in a low voice.

Hearing Qiao Liangjin's question, Bai Wu reluctantly let go of Qiao Liangjin. He grabbed her shoulders and sized her up several times before smiling, ”You're really worried for me.”

Qiao Liangjin's nose turned sour. She sniffed and laughed: ”Bai Wu, you're so stupid. How could I be alright? Red Dust took good care of me. ”

Bai Wu Yi seemed to heave a sigh of relief. With a slight smile, he pulled Qiao Liangjin's hand and sat down at the table. His eyes were filled with gentleness as he looked at Qiao Liangjin without saying a word.

Qiao Liangjin calmly allowed Bai Wu to size him up. Only when Bai Wu retracted his gaze did she say with a smile, ”Are you relieved now?”

Bai Wu smiled and poured two cups of tea. He then placed one of the cups in front of Qiao Liangjin. His bony fingers slid across the cup as he said, ”This is your favorite tea.”

Qiao Liangjin took a sip, and the fragrance of the golden eyebrows seeped into her stomach. She sighed lightly: ”Bai Wu, you are always so considerate, don't you need me to repay you?”

Bai Wu was stunned as he looked at Qiao Liangjin with eyes as black as ink. He gave a shallow smile and said, ”No need to return the favor.”

Knocking sounds came from outside the door as well as Hong Chen's indifferent voice, ”Bai Wu Chen, did that damned girl come over?”

Bai Wuchang winked at Qiao Liangjin and then went to open the door. Qiao Liangjin turned her head and greeted the man in red outside the door with a face full of smiles, ”Hey, handsome man in Red Dust. How are you?”

Hong Chen glanced at Qiao Liangjin and said to Bai Wu, ”Don't forget the time.” Then he turned and went downstairs.

Qiao Liangjin touched her nose and mumbled, ”I don't know, do you think I owe him a few hundred taels of silver?”

Bai Wu heard Qiao Liangjin's muttering and said, ”No, that's not true for the mortal world. It's just a matter of words.”

He turned around and walked towards the bed. After fumbling around for a while, he found an account book and placed it in front of Qiao Liangjin.

Qiao Liangjin propped her chin up with one hand and held the cup with the other and asked: ”What is this?”

”Since you are the Lady Boss, you should pay for the income you earned in the past few months.” Bai Wu opened the account book and pointed his finger towards it one by one.

Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt a headache coming on. She closed the account book and rubbed her head. ”No need to look. You drank a lot last night, and today you're still suffering from a headache. Bai Wu, didn't I tell you that the peace and harmony belongs to you …”

”Da Sima has already come to the Peace Court three times. One time, he met Princess Nangong. The last time was with a woman in black. That woman's appearance is very similar to yours.”

Qiao Liangjin suddenly sat up straight and smiled, ”Bai Wu, you are always so intelligent, you know what I want the most. Do you know what that woman who resembles me did? ”

Bai Wu smiled and replied calmly, ”When Hong Chen came back last night, he told me that she was a Magus Gu Master. If you didn't kill her in the Desolate Mountain Range, she would have come to the palace to assassinate you in your place. Then, he would have dragged you all to hell.

Qiao Liangjin laughed and refilled her cup of tea. She shook her head and laughed, ”This Great Sima is really a character that cannot be underestimated. He really wants to destroy my entire family. Did she do anything? ”

When Bai Wu heard Nangong's name, he snorted with a tone full of disdain: ”If it wasn't for the fact that she is a princess of the Southern Kingdom, she would have died hundreds of times already. She is arrogant and despotic, thinking that this is their Southern City, causing trouble everywhere.”

Qiao Liangjin's face curved into a smile. ”No matter how I hear it, it sounds like there's a need to talk about me. What arrogantly and domineeringly? Aren't those the words that describe me, Qiao Liangjin? ”Now that I am with Nangong, I can imagine how others would view me.”

As she said that, she suddenly looked up at Bai Wu's sullen eyes and laughed again, ”This is the first time I've seen Bai Wu Yi so angry. I almost thought that you were an otherworldly person.”

Bai Wu was stunned as he placed his finger on his own cheek. With a slight raise of his voice, he said, ”I … Are you angry? ”

Qiao Liangjin nodded her head and said with a smile in his eyes, ”That's right. There is still a bit of anger in his eyes that has yet to dissipate.”

Bai Wuya suddenly shook his head and smiled, ”I... It seems like it's getting easier and easier to change one's mood. ”

Qiao Liangjin held her chin with both hands as she looked at Bai Wu Chen with a smile on her face. He really looked good when he was angry, but she looked good when she was smiling. In this world, other than clearing up, he was probably the second person to look good.

Being stared at by her, Bai Wu felt somewhat embarrassed. He pointed outside and said, ”There are some darkrooms where you can go and see what others are talking about and find some information. Would you like to listen to them?”

Qiao Liangjin laughed and stood up. With her hands behind her back, she walked towards the door and said: ”This is the reason why I want to build this auspicious residence. I want the eyes and ears of this world.”
