This woman is scheming
Listening to the man’s words, a hint of a smile deepened in Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes. With a flick of her hand, a money pouch fell into the man’s hand.
“Five hundred gold coins, you can leave now.”
The man caught the money pouch, nodded after checking the contents, and turned to leave.
Once the man was gone, Baili Hongzhuang’s gaze fell upon the woman at her feet. “Now, you can let go.”
Hearing this, the woman nervously released her hands and gratefully looked at Baili Hongzhuang. “Benefactor, thank you for saving me!”
Baili Hongzhuang’s expression turned cold. “No need.”
With those words, Baili Hongzhuang turned and walked forward, but the woman followed behind her.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Baili Hongzhuang stopped and turned indifferently. “Why are you following me?”
“Benefactor, you saved me, so I am yours. Whether as a maid or in any other role, I am willing to repay you,” the woman earnestly spoke, her expression pure, as if Baili Hongzhuang had saved her and she wanted to repay her with her life.
However, others might fall for this, but Baili Hongzhuang was not interested.
“No need. You should live your own life,” Baili Hongzhuang said calmly.
The woman hesitated, her doe-like eyes filled with innocence. Her voice was sorrowful and weak. “Benefactor, I have no family left. I only ask to follow you.”
Witnessing this scene, the onlookers couldn’t help but feel moved. Indeed, everything went as they had expected. This woman was truly willing to offer herself.
“Though I saved you, I have no intention of having a powerless woman by my side,” Baili Hongzhuang replied with a clear and pleasant tone.
“Benefactor, I will make myself strong. I only ask that you don’t abandon me,” the woman deeply expressed, tears finally rolling down her cheeks, as if she had been abandoned by the most important person in her life.
“Master, I have a feeling that this woman is scheming,” Xiao Hei said with a cold and cunning look as it observed the woman in the green dress on the ground. Although she had been acting well all along, it instinctively felt that this woman was scheming.
Being followed by a sycophant, especially a woman, without any reason on the busy street was indeed suspicious.
Listening to Xiao Hei, Baili Hongzhuang became even more certain. Her thoughts were the same as Xiao Hei’s, that there must be some scheme going on.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll grant this woman’s wish. I want to see what she’s up to,” Baili Hongzhuang said with deep and intelligent phoenix-like eyes. The woman’s persistence was truly intriguing.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai glanced at each other. They were also curious about what this woman intended to do. They had only arrived in Tianyan Kingdom today, so who would be targeting them?
In the next moment, Baili Hongzhuang’s gaze fell upon the woman in the green dress. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, showing a hint of concern.
“Forget it, come with me to the inn for now. We’ll find another place tomorrow.”
As Baili Hongzhuang’s words fell, a glimmer of excitement appeared in the woman’s eyes. She nodded repeatedly and got up from the ground. “Thank you, benefactor.”
Seeing the woman joyfully following behind Baili Hongzhuang, the onlookers couldn’t help but feel envious.
If this woman were following them instead of Baili Hongzhuang, how wonderful would that be?
