“Jiansi Yehan stood up as if he wanted to go outside. Ye Wanwan quickly put down the curtain and walked over, saying, ‘Hey, sit for a while, take a good rest. There’s no need to rush outside; the battle won’t start for a while. Don’t worry!’
Outside, war raged on, and the air was filled with smoke and gunpowder. Inside the room, a certain leader of a league was diligently taking care of someone, asking about their well-being.
“This time, it seems someone is trying to sabotage us,” Jiansi Yehan spoke.
“You mean…” Ye Wanwan pondered for a moment. Jiansi Yehan’s words made sense. The Fearless League must have received some false information, thinking she was in trouble, or they wouldn’t have launched such a reckless operation.
“It seems someone wants to sow discord and profit from it!” Ye Wanwan touched her chin, then a smug expression appeared on her face as she smiled and said, ‘Unfortunately, the other party doesn’t know that we are actually in cahoots!’
Jiansi Yehan: ‘…’
In cahoots…
He refrained from commenting on his wife’s choice of idioms.
Ye Wanwan’s eyes turned, and she quickly got to the main point, “Oh, by the way, there’s something important. Just now, I explained to you that I really need that ring for a special purpose. There’s absolutely no other meaning behind it.
You know I’m attending the Crimson Flame Academy, right? There’s an S-ranked mission on the task board to obtain the Emperor Ji’s personal ring, and it’s worth a fortune! It grants 15,000 honor points!”
As she spoke, Ye Wanwan’s eyes sparkled with excitement, showing her extreme greed for wealth.
Seeing the excitement in her eyes when she mentioned the ring, the man’s gaze slightly darkened, naturally recalling the cufflinks he had bought for a dollar from Ye Wanwan. “Is that so? The ring is valuable?”
Ye Wanwan didn’t dare to mention Emperor Ji’s ring again to avoid irritating him. She quickly said, “You are valuable too! You are very valuable! One strand of your hair is worth 15,000 honor points! I’m not hiding anything from you; your hair is also part of an S-ranked mission. I’ve taken up that mission too, so you see…”
Ye Wanwan scooted closer, gazing at him expectantly.
The man looked at the girl, remained silent for a moment, and finally, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. “Pull it yourself.”
Ye Wanwan’s excitement nearly made her jump up, “Ah! Really? Really? You’ll let me pull it? Any strand? Just like that?”
Happiness came too suddenly!
Ye Wanwan stared at the man’s silver hair as if a dragon had found a room full of treasures. Honor points! They were all honor points!
“If only this mission had unlimited attempts…” Ye Wanwan murmured regretfully.
Jiansi Yehan: “…”
Unlimited attempts? Was she trying to make him bald?
While Ye Wanwan was speaking, she excitedly pounced on the man and began happily picking out his hair, asking, “Which one should I pull? This one? Or this one? Or that one?…”
Feeling the girl’s soft and boneless hands constantly fiddling with his hair, gently touching his scalp and the skin around his neck, the man’s back slightly stiffened. After a while of her trying to pull out a strand without success, he had to do it himself and then helped her sit back down, handing her the pulled hair. “There you go.”
“Hey, why did you do it yourself? Also, this strand is a bit short and too thin! I want a longer and prettier one that’s not too thick or thin!” Ye Wanwan said quickly.
Jiansi Yehan: “Fine, I’ll throw it away.”
The man pretended to throw it away.
“I want it! I want it! Don’t throw it away!” Ye Wanwan quickly snatched it back and then, as if she thought of something, her eyes turned and she spoke with a flattering tone, ‘I still want one more if possible?'”
