"Deputy Commander, you... you’re okay, right?"
Xing Na was the first to enter, and upon seeing Song Sheng lying on the bed, he stammered with the question.
Song Sheng wanted to retort, "Do I look okay to you?"
However, the pain was too much, and he couldn’t muster the strength to snap back immediately.
"The Deputy Commander has been beaten into wetting himself... uh..." Xing Na widened his eyes, pointing at the wet patch under Song Sheng, just about to say "urinary incontinence," when Liu Feizhu covered his mouth.
"Sorry, Deputy Commander, we didn’t see anything."
Let’s go, let’s go.
Liu Feizhu signaled to the people behind him with his eyes.
Everyone understood and walked out in harmony, fearing that if they moved too slowly, they would become the one the Deputy Commander takes his anger out on.
"Feizhu, why did you cover my mouth?" Once outside, Xing Na brushed Liu Feizhu’s hand away and asked, puzzled.
"Are you stupid?" Liu Feizhu wanted to knock some sense into Xing Na: "That puddle on the bed, any fool can tell what’s going on. You still want to say it out loud, give the Deputy Commander some dignity!"
"Oh? Liu Feizhu, why don’t you tell me what happened to that puddle on my bed?"
Behind him, Song Sheng’s ominous voice suddenly chimed in.
Liu Feizhu immediately shriveled, turning stiffly to face a disheveled Song Sheng and his ambiguous smile.
...
The Guard House was once again filled with heart-wrenching screams.
...
Second floor of the Luaxin Pavilion.
Li Yuyu lazily yawned, preparing to go to bed.
A shadow flipped in through the window.
"Ah!" Li Yuyu jumped in fright, and upon seeing who it was, she slowly lowered the pillow in her hand, pouting, "Brother, why are you coming in through the window instead of the door?"
She thought a thief had his eyes on her gold.
"I’m sneaking back in and can’t let too many people know." Li Mo, while flipping through the window, pulled at the wound on his thigh. Afraid that Li Yuyu would notice, he endured the pain and adjusted his walking posture.
"Master, what happened?"
Outside, Hua Yin heard Li Yuyu’s cry and hurried over to ask.
"It’s nothing, you can go rest. I’m going to sleep soon." Li Yuyu called out loudly.
"Yes." Hua Yin retreated.
Li Yuyu saw Li Mo smiling at her and smiled back, "Brother, have a seat. I’ll make you some tea."
"No need to trouble yourself. I’m not thirsty." Li Mo stopped her, "I’m leaving soon. Just wanted to say goodbye before I go. By the way, I heard you’re short on money lately?"
While speaking, Li Mo glanced at the box by the wall that belonged to Li Yuyu.
He knew full well what it contained. The Li Family liked to store gold and silver in such boxes—sturdy and safe—and without a specific key, it couldn’t be opened. Only the Li Family had such keys.
Li Yuyu followed Li Mo’s gaze and looked over, her eyes flickering, and explained, "Brother, that’s..."
"It’s my oversight." Li Mo interrupted Li Yuyu, pulling out a bundle of silver notes from his bosom and handing them to her, "Gold and silver are indeed inconvenient to carry. These are all for you. If it’s not enough, you can go to the Golden Treasure Money Shop to get more."
After saying that, Li Mo took out a small, exquisite gold waist token from his belt, "This is the Golden Treasure Money Shop’s token. It can command people at any Golden Treasure Money Shop across the land to give you as much silver or gold as you want."
Li Yuyu, holding countless silver notes in her hands and looking at the all-gold waist token on the table, felt as if her feet were stepping on cotton, floating upwards with a dizzy feeling.
Is this... the feeling of sudden wealth!!!
