  Xiang Bei instantly turned to look at Xiao Hua these Mers weren't these the ones who were turning old and she was preparing to sell them?

  She also had a list of patrons in drawers to whom she wanted to sell these Mers to. No wonder Xiao Hua was busy going out these days turns out that he was making these arrangements for the Mers.

  He still hasn't given up on his resolution of saving those Mers! And here she thought that he was only going around with his usual business smart move.

  She made a mistake taking him lightly. He was smarter than she gave him credit for she thought that he was just a mere Mer how far can he go?

  But he proved her wrong not only did he look for a way out he also thought of a way to pull Yu Dong into his plan.

  She didn't know what he exchanged with Yu Dong but surely there was nothing else but his body that he can make use of right?

  However she didn't dare to take him lightly anymore. Xiang Bei glared at Xiao Hua who glared right back.

  Yes he was the one who did it. What can she do about it? He wouldn't inherit the tavern that his mother left for him because of the disparity of the status between a Mer and a woman.

  He still had some influence on the tavern and had his own spies who were more than willing to do work for him.

  No one can hide anything from him as long as he set his mind on digging deeper and finding out what was happening in the tavern.

  He long found out Xiang Bei wanted to sell the mass who were getting old and make another sum of a great sum of money.

  Xiao Hua had seen what happened to Hanjing. There was no way he could allow such a thing to happen to his other friends as well.

  Hanjing was still young and could return to the tavern but what will happen to his other friends who will get old in a few months?

  Would they be not sold again and again and again. Until they could no longer withstand the pressure?

  Xiao Hua was certain that Xiang Bei will never stop she was so greedy that she didn't even lapse about the wishes of the dead.

  She didn't respect his mother's will and she didn't respect the promise she did to his daddy. So will she even stop to care about these Mers whom she took as nothing but tools to satiate her greed?

  Xiang Bei sneered she will admit that Xiao Hua's plan was indeed amazing but it had a little flaw and that was -does Yu Dong have enough money to buy thirty mers?

  She will admit that Yu Dong was looking quite rich but buying thirty Mers would mean forking thirty gold taels can she do that?

  No matter how rich she was she wouldn't want to waste her money on thirty Mers would she?

  Not to mention thirty taels of gold wasn't something that anyone can earn just in a few months unless they had a hidden treasury left behind by their parents.

  Xiang Bei knew Mother Yu although the latter was a good huntress unfortunately all the money she saved was either snatched by her greedy half-sister and stepfather or was wasted by this good for nothing Yu Dong from where will she get thirty taels of gold?

  "Ah! Yu Dong are you sure you want to buy so many Mers?" asked Xiang Bei with a derisive laugh. "I mean I am not looking down on you but you have to admit that no matter how good the idea of having a harem sounds I don't think it's feasible. Ah! Don't think that I am looking down on you but are you sure you will be able to handle so many Mers? I mean your kidney, will it be able to handle it?"

  After saying this crude joke Xiang Bei burst out laughing even the sturdy-looking Momo started laughing apparently finding the joke too funny.

  Yu Dong said nothing and let the two laugh she smiled calmly and licked her lips. Sensually leaning her back on her chair, she calmly let her eyes assess Xiang Bei as she coldly spoke. "What's there to worry about? I am strong and sturdy there is nothing wrong with my stamina, in fact-" she deliberately paused and stretched her sentence. "Forget about thirty Mers, I can even make a woman kneel down and call me Mommy."

  Xiang Bei's laughter came to an abrupt halt and she choked on air coughing and sputtering ….this…why didn't she know that Yu Dong was this lawless before? She even tried to make a move on her.

  Yu Dong: I didn't I meant that I can make you kneel in front of me after showing off my fighting skills.

  Xiang Bei cleared her throat and immediately coughed in embarrassment. "I wasn't trying to joke with you Yu Dong. It's not just the matter of you having stamina or not. Buying thirty Mers that lot won't come cheap. Not to mention you even want to buy Xiao Hua who is the current popularity of the tavern."

  Yu Dong languidly smiled at Xiang Bei. She knew that the latter was slowly trying to intimidate her by showing off the assets that she had in her hands.

  Yu Dong smirked "What's there to joke about? If I am daring enough to come here to propose this to you doesn't it means that I have the money with me to buy these Mers?

  Don't worry not only do I have the money to buy this lot I even have enough money to raise them as my little pets. Just state your terms. I want to have a good taste of these Mers before tomorrow morning."

  Her arrogant tone made Xiang Bei's face flush red and then turn pale. Even Xiao Hua felt his cheeks burn he understood that she was deliberately playing the role of a hooligan to not let Xiang Bei catch a whiff of their plan but was this necessary?

  She was making his face burn with embarrassment! (are you sure it's embarrassing?)

  Xiang Bei's lips curled 'Fine, then if she didn't send Yu Dong back with her face covered in shame then she will not be called Xiang! How dare she mock her? Has she forgotten how she used to suck up to her?'
