After the time for an incense stick to burn, Baiyifei spoke slowly.
"Are you from the Yue?"
When he heard Bai Yifei's voice, Fiery Rain Duke's heart tensed up. He did not even have time to think about why his voice was different from before.
"This lowly one…Yes, no, this lowly one's ancestors were once from Han Country. This lowly one also traveled in Han Country when he was young…"
"What do you think of the White Armor Army entering the Bai Yue?”Baiyifei asked.
"I…am willing to submit."
Fire Rain Duke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said nervously.
An invisible pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
He had met some tribal leaders of the Yue and some nobles of other countries, but none of them could give him such pressure.
Ever since he entered the tent, he had not dared to look at Bai Yifei seriously.
"Your business is spread across the seven countries?"
"I'm just making a small fuss," said Fire Rain Duke, his eyes flickering.”
"A small fight?" " Are you wasting my time?" Baiyifei raised his head and glared at him.”
Fire Rain Duke shrunk his neck and said,""Actually, there are some shops in the Seven Kingdoms.”
"You have two daughters?"
Duke of Fire Rain's eyelids twitched as he grunted.
"Are you married?"
Fire Rain Duke's face turned bitter as he whispered,""Not married yet."
"Very good."
Fire Rain Duke felt suffocated.
"In the future, you will help me with my work." Baiyifei said.
“……”
Fire Rain Duke left, somewhat at a loss.
When he returned to Fiery Rain Manor, he thought about it and called his wife and two daughters out of the underground secret cave.
"Are you alright?" Fire Rain Duke's wife, Water Nun, asked expectantly.
Fire Rain Duke's expression became conflicted.
"For now…I'm fine."
"Father, did you see General Bai?”
Hu Rong Er asked curiously.
Fire Rain Duke thought for a moment, but he did not dare to raise his head to look at Bai Yifei even when he was about to leave.
"I guess so." Fire Rain Duke replied ambiguously.
"What does he look like?" Hu Rong Er asked.
Fire Rain Duke sighed and said,"He will come tonight and may stay in our villa for a few days in the future.”
Lady Water looked at Fiery Rain Duke and asked,""Is there anything else?"
Fire Rain Duke's distressed look made her feel slightly uneasy.
"General Bai wants me to help him.”Fire Rain Duke sighed again.
"Is this…a bad thing?" Hufu 'er asked, puzzled.
"Are you worried that if you help him, you will be targeted by the Bai Yue?”Water Nun asked.
Fiery Rain Duke shook his head and said," I'm not worried about that. Our family's business is no longer solely dependent on the Fiery Rain Agate. If we are targeted by the Yue, we can move out of here."”
"Then what are you worried about?" Hu Rong Er asked.
Fire Rain Duke looked at his two daughters, feeling guilty and helpless.
Water Nun sharply noticed Fiery Rain Duke's gaze and could not help but shiver. She hurriedly asked,""Is it related to Fu 'er and Rong' er?"
Hu Fu 'er and Hu Rong' er looked at each other, then quickly turned to look at Fire Rain Duke.
"General Bai mentioned Fu 'er and Rong' er in the conversation.”Fire Rain Duke said.
"Mentioned us? What did he say?" Hu Rong Er asked.
Hufu 'er vaguely guessed what Fire Rain Duke meant, and her face flushed red.
"Very good." Fire Rain Duke sighed.
He was a businessman, so he understood the meaning of the phrase 'very good'.
"Very good? What do you mean?" Hu Rong 'er was puzzled.
Hufuer bit her lip, completely understanding what he meant.
"I think he has a very high standard. Tonight, you guys…" Fiery Rain Duke shook his head and said.
Fiery Rain Duke looked at his two daughters. Since Bai Yifei had spoken, he had to respond.
Of the two daughters, at least one had to be sacrificed!
"Rong 'er is still young. Let me do it." Hufu Er lowered her head and said softly.
"What do you mean?"
Hu Rong 'er looked at her parents and sister in confusion.
"I'll help you with your makeup tonight," Hufuer smiled at her.”
“……”
In the main tent of the Han camp, after Lord Fiery Rain left the tent, Yan Lingji lay down on her back beside the table without any care for her image. She tilted her head and looked at Bai Yifei.
"I thought you would detain him and send troops to raid Fiery Rain Manor.”
" What's the difference between that and a bandit?" Bai Yifei chuckled.”
"I feel that you are even more ruthless than a bandit.”Yan Lingji mumbled. She felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about how Bai Yifei seemed to want the two daughters of the Fire Rain Duke.
"Isn't it enough to have me alone?”
Yan Lingji took off her helmet, revealing her long black hair. She winked at Bai Yifei, and a flame flew towards his forehead.
"You are my spoils of war, and they are the hostages paid by Fire Rain Duke.”Baiyifei said.
In the future, he would need someone to take care of his wealth. For Fire Rain Duke to be able to spread his business across the seven countries, he must have some ability.
"In your eyes, I'm just a spoils of war?”
Yan Lingji's voice was full of resentment as her hair brushed past Bai Yifei's face.
When Bai Yifei raised his head to look at her, the white armor on her body burst into flames, turning into sparks that scattered in the air.
“……”
In the evening, Bai Yifei's personal guards entered Fiery Rain Manor.
The leader was the Unparalleled Ghost!
Ever since he lost to Baiyifei, the simple-minded Peerless Ghost had become the number one member of Baiyifei's personal army.
"Sir, do you have any preferences?”
Fire Rain Duke asked carefully.
The pressure that the Peerless Ghost gave off was very direct.
Wushuang Gui did not respond, but a guard beside him said two words.
"Clean!"
"Clean?"
Fire Rain Duke paused and didn't continue asking.
Wushuang Gui's attitude made him feel a little scared.
After that, the Fire Rain Duke ordered his men to carefully inspect the room, bed, and food prepared for Bai Yifei... to ensure that it was clean to the highest standards!
In the end, he went to the room of his two daughters.
"He's here?"
Hufu 'er asked nervously when she saw her father.
Hu Rong 'er looked expectant.
Fire Rain Duke shook his head and said," It should be soon. He likes cleanliness very much. You guys…be careful later."”
"Clean?"
Hu Rong 'er quickly looked at the bronze mirror in front of her.
Hufu 'er frowned. She had planned to sacrifice herself to protect her sister and put on some exaggerated makeup for her.
But now that she heard her father's reminder, she knew she couldn't do that.
"How do I put on makeup that looks clean but ugly?”
Hufu 'er looked at her sister's beautiful face, which still had some baby fat, and fell into deep thought.
