Chapter 53 – Good, good future prospects!
In the eyes of the guard regiment, Huang Yue Li no longer possessed the appearance of a pitiful young girl. She was now the most terrifying, most steel-hearted demoness!
What expert at the Seventh Level of the Qi Profound Realm? Iron blooded soldiers molded through countless battles on the battlefield, was not enough to make her bat a single eye.
Even though she did not have any profound qi, dealing with them was a such a simple task!
How was this the cowardly, weak and gutless good-for-nothing Third Young Miss?
Smiling, Huang Yue Li swept her eyes over the ground. Those who felt her gaze sweep past them felt their bodies turn cold. Their groans softening instantly.
Huang Yue Li chuckled: "Honestly, I know that you're merely obeying orders as a subordinate should. My Second Uncle sent you over, you dare not to disobey. This really cannot be blamed on you."
Eyes widening in disbelief, they didn't dare to believe what they were hearing. The Third Young Miss who was that cruel, would suddenly change her attitude and become this understanding.
Unaffected, Huang Yue Li continued in a sweet voice: "Everyone here is without freedom. I am not something who won't feel pity, so I will go with you to the Manor then!"
They didn't dare to believe their eyes.
Eyes brimming with tears, the commander said emotionally: "Third…….Third Young Miss, you are really……….too good. A great person possesses a great heart. You truly are the Old Manor Lord's daughter. This subordinate……this subordinate had offended you previously. I deserve to die ten thousand times, deserve to die ten thousand times!"
As he said this, he began to give himself a few slaps.
Just then, he was anxious as to how he would explain to the Manor Lod.
Would he really have to say the truth. That his entire squad was easily dealt with by the Third Miss? Not only would this be extremely embarrassing, no one would believe such a thing ah!
Furthermore, the Manor Lord had always treated servants harshly. If he was unable to complete such a simple task, he would really suffer!
Who knew that the Third Young Miss would suddenly change her attitude and think about them. She clearly knew that the Manor Lord didn't have good intentions but still chose to go with them…….what type of conscious did she have? It was as great as a goddess!
The little phoenix who was hiding within Huang Yue Li's shoulder, let out a few coughs in shock and slapped his wing.
Ai, he really worried for the intelligence of those people. How could this female demon be this kind? If that happened, the sun would be rising from the west!
As expected, Huang Yue Li quickly followed with: "But, you people have polluted the environment here, scared my poor maid and activated my secret mechanisms. These losses…….you must pay for them!"
Stunned for a moment, the commander quickly recovered and answered: "Yes, yes, yes. This ought to be, ought to be! Third Young Miss is a great person with a great heart, this subordinate cannot thank you enough. Compensating you is something that should naturally be done….."
Cheep! Cheep!
Another unlucky victim was born………
Scratching his ear, the little phoenix couldn't bear to watch this farce any longer. Tucking his head under his wing, he averted his attention.
Huang Yue Li's smile was especially benevolent: "Lord Commander truly understands well! Good, good future prospects! This Miss just loves to speak with smart people like you! Since it is like this, I will give you a twenty percent discount. Each person pay out four hundred silvers and I will go with you!"
"……….Wha? How much?"
"Four hundred silvers. This isn't expensive, no?"
"Not…………expensive…….."would be strange!
The whites of the commander's eyes appeared; he narrowly avoided passing out.
As for the soldiers pinned to the iron thorns, their legs long stiff while some had fainted.
Trembling, the commander asked: "Third Third Third…………Third Young Miss, did you make a mistake somewhere?"
Huang Yue Li blinked a few times: "Mistake? Are you saying that I am so simple minded that I fail to calculate money correctly?"
"No no……..not true. Third Young Miss, this wasn't this subordinate's meaning. Rather……this this, four hundred silvers…………isn't that a bit too much? And it's four hundred for every person. Adding them together, wouldn't that be a total of four thousand?"

Chapter 54 – Becoming skewers
Huang Yue Li answered him: "That's right, I didn't calculate incorrectly!"
"But, but…………..we only stayed in the courtyard for a while, not breaking anything. And so many of my subordinates were injured….."
Clearly it was his people who were injured, while not even a single strand of hair was lost from Huang Yue Li's maid. Why was it them who were paying the money, and so much at that? ?
Raising her eyebrow, Huang Yue Li answered him: "What? You are unconvinced? Take a closer look at my Eight Direction Earth Burrowing Thorns? Ah? Look carefully. Those are Second Level Middle Grade Armaments. It is also such a large scale Mechanism-type Armament. Priceless beyond compare! If you were to put them on the market, they would sell for at least ten thousand silvers!"
Everyone's eyes bulged out, carefully observing the row of thorns.
They all had the same thoughts: 'My god! This row of iron thorns was that amazing. They were Second Level Armaments ah! In my entire life, this is the first time that I get to see Second Level Armaments! They were actually lying on the ground like streaky pork skewers!'
Huang Yue Li continued: "Now you know? This Armament, cost five thousand silvers to manufacture. This was all because I took pity on you and gave you a twenty percent discount, charging you each four hundred silvers. I am suffering a loss of one thousand silvers! As for the trauma you made my maid suffer, as the master I decided to write that off! Yet you still consider it expensive? Do you not feel guilty?"
They were thoroughly lectured by her. Looking at their feet, they began to reflect on themselves.
That's right, Third Young Miss is already this generous. Yet everyone continued to complain and haggle about the price, this was too appalling…….
"Third Young Miss this subordinate is not acknowledging his debt. In truth…….this subordinate did not bring that much money with him……"
"That's right, that's right. Third Young Miss, this sum is the accumulation of our wages for several years. It wouldn't be that easy to take out……."
"Correct ah. Third Young Miss, I have a eighty year old mother and a child who still needs to drink milk. I truly cannot take such a sum out ah………"
With someone one leading the herd, the others followed him and started to cry out. All pretending to be pitiful!
After all this was such a large sum of money. No matter how reasonable the Third Young Miss said, they were unwilling to part with that sum!
For those with a working brain, they immediately went to find a loophole. Afterall, they didn't bring that much money with them today; even if they die, they wouldn't give it. What can the Third Young Miss possibly do then? She wouldn't possibly kill them?
At the end of the day, they were guards of the Manor. If they were to die in the territory of the Third Young Miss, she would have provoked no small trouble!
Gradually each and every one of the guards came to an understanding. Each crying out how poor they were, preparing to renege on their debts.
Huang Yue Li sneered in her heart, while the smile on her face became filled with even more warmth and softness.
"Okay then, I know about everyone's sufferings. I am not someone who cannot be reasoned with. How about this, since everyone cannot take the sum out currently, why don't you all write an IOU. Leave the IOU at my residence. Take your time to gather the money and pay it off when you have acquired the sum."
Hearing those words, they became very energetic.
"Sure sure sure. This solution is good! Just do it like that!"
"Third Young Miss' heart truly is good and honest. You will definitely be rewarded well in the future!"
"Rest assured Third Young Miss. We will not fail to pay these debts…….."
So what if she has an IOU? Leaving those gates, who would go and admit it?
The Third Young Miss did not know where they lived, so could not go to their doors knocking for their debts. This money………naturally would not be returned!
This Third Young Miss was this easily swindled, she even believed these types of promises. She is indeed a sheltered rich lady, oblivious to the ways of the world!
So what if she possessed powerful Armaments? A few words were enough to trick her?
