Chapter 331 Fuxian – A Cake in Exchange for Beauty
Ryne: "..."
"What the hell are you talking about?" She was a little annoyed and tapped him on the head: "This is my money, why do you think that I produce pirated money?"
Lathel pouted: "So your money is this much? I feel like this empire's treasury doesn't have as much money as you do."
"Of course!" Ryne smiled and said: "My business is very good."
"Better than Amleth's?"
"Hm?! This..." Ryne sighed: "Of course it's not as good as hers." However, I can at least let you live in wealth for 1,000 years without worrying about money."
Lathel: "..."
After hearing Ryne's words, he felt as if he were an animal kept in a cage.
Lathel shook her head and said: "Mom, I can make money; you don't need to give me that much."
"But..."
"Alright." Lathel interrupted Ryne: "Then... I will take 200 million gold coins. If I need more, I will ask you to get more."
"Good!" Ryne happily said: "Lathel, in business, failure is normal. Don't try too hard, even if you fail, I will provide resources for you to start again."
"I am very rich; no matter how much gold you want, I have enough to give you. Understand?"
Hearing that, Lathel nodded: "I understand."
He and Ryne talked a little more, then she left, leaving him alone in the room.
Knock! Knock!
There was a knock on the door. Lathel frowned and said: "Who?!"
"Ah! I am Fuxian."
"Fuxian?" Lathel remembered the girl Ryne had talked about; he sighed and replied: "Come in!"
The door opened, and a young woman wearing a black dress with red patterns on it entered.
She walked lightly but still carried a noble beauty like a colossus.
Her long black hair was like a waterfall, and her pretty Asian face was slightly red at this moment.
She walked in front of Lathel and knelt down.
Lathel: "..." Σ (°ロ ° )
"Oy! What are you doing? He quickly stepped forward and helped her stand up, but she still tried to kneel on the ground.
"I... I am your fiancee. I hope you can help me and love me; please don't beat me or sell me to a brothel."
"I truly thank you for accepting to be my fiance."
She finished speaking and put her head on the ground as if she were bowing to him.
Lathel was so surprised that he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"What the hell are you talking about? Why would I sell you to a brothel?"
"Heh?!" Fuxian raised her head, her face carrying a bit of innocence and confusion: "Really?"
"Are you really not going to sell me to a brothel?"
"That's right." Lathel sighed and nodded.
"But... I'm afraid you'll get bored of me and sell me after using me."
"This..."
"Ah! You hesitated, which means you have that thought, right?" Fuxian suddenly cried loudly: "Huhuhu... Why is my fate so painful?"
"Do you like it?"
"Heh?! You made it?" Fuxian had disbelief on her face: "Really? You... you know how to cook? Do you know how to make cakes?"
Lathel nodded: "Well... If you like, I can make cakes for you to eat every day."
"As long as... you become my wife, I will definitely let you eat many delicious dishes like that."
"WOW!!!" Fuxian's eyes shone, and the sparkling light startled Lathel: "I agree! From now on, I am your wife. Lathel..."
She immediately bowed to him again, then raised her head and smiled happily: "Next time, please help me. This is my first time being a wife; there will probably be many things that make you unhappy, but I hope you can teach me more."
"Once again, I am truly grateful that you accept me as your wife."
Lathel: "..."
He didn't know whether to be happy or sad. A cake could be exchanged for a beautiful woman. Is there anything simpler in this world than what he just did?
'However... even if I let Fuxian be my wife, the system won't issue a notification to warn me.'
'So there will be two cases... she is not the female protagonist, or... I can steal the male protagonist's opportunity somehow without affecting the laws of this world.'
'According to the rules of this world, I can't steal the female lead's harem and the male lead's opportunity.'
'But... maybe there's still a loophole that can help me get around those rules.'
"But... I cannot be by your side for the time being." Fuxian suddenly continued; she bowed her head, her voice carrying a bit of shame: "I... I need to work for the Queen, that's why, I..."
"Okay, I understand." Lathel smiled and said: "Everyone has their own mission, I don't blame you at all."
"You just go back to the queen and study well, I will have the servants bring you cakes every day."
"Heh! Lathel... you are so kind." Fuxian's eyes were wet as if he were about to cry: "This is the first time someone has treated me so well, huhuhu..."
"But... I... I don't have anything to give you. I'm very poor, the Queen doesn't even pay me."
"What?!" Lathel frowned, He took out a bag of gold coins and gave it to Fuxian: "I don't think the Queen is such a stingy person."
"Achoo!" Ryne was sitting in the carriage when she suddenly sneezed and felt confused: "Strange, I feel like someone is saying bad things about me."
"Fuxian, why are you talking for so long? Could it be... they..." Ryne suddenly thought of what happened between Lathel and Akna yesterday in the garden.
"Hopefully that happens soon, so... we can continue to train Fuxian with peace of mind."
Returning to Lathel, after giving Fuxian some gold coins and cakes, she happily left. She even promised that she would come back to find him if she had free time.
After Fuxian left, Lathel breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there had been too many troubles in just one morning.
"System, open my personal information panel."
