Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Startled, Shopkeeper Sun raised his head and said: “Lo…..Lord, our master definitely will not agree to selling Thousand Treasure Pavilion. What you may not know is, the owner is part of the royal household…”
The male did not respond. He gave a glance around and then proceeded to pick up the jade tea cup from the table and began to drink lightly.
His fingers were slender but powerful and looked like jade. The mere action of him raising the tea cup possessed both a graceful and noble bearing, highly pleasing to the eye.
The personal guard beside the horse carriage walked up to Shopkeeper Sun and cut off his sentence.
“Isn’t the boss behind your shop just a Lord of Dong’An? Just by his status alone, he wants to fight against our master? Hurry and inform your Lord of Dong’An that our master….wants to buy this store! Tactfully prepare the estate’s title deed. Tomorrow our master will send someone one over to retrieve it.”
In that moment, Shopkeeper Sun was at a loss for words.
Lord Dong’An, he was the Emperor’s nephew with matchless identity. Yet the mysterious man in front of him didn’t seem to put that identity in his eyes.
Could it be that his own identity was something far above Lord Dong’An’s? He couldn’t possible be one of the Emperor’s Prince’s?
When he thought this far, Shopkeeper Sun’s heart jumped. He couldn’t possibly be the rumored…
But, it had been many years since that person last appeared!
If it really was him who had returned, then it would be exceedingly serious….
…
To what was happening behind her, Huang Yue Li was oblivious.
The speed of Thousand Treasure Pavilion’s delivery service really wasn’t just empty words. By the time she arrived home, the two person tall furnace was already neatly placed within the study.
Currently, the maid Cai Wei was circling the furnace with a face full of amazement.
Seeing that Huang Yue Li had returned, she hurriedly walked to greet her.
“Third Young Miss, what did you go out to do? This armament smelting furnace, was it truly bought by you?”
“Could this possibly be fake?”
“But…this is something only Armaments Refiners can use?”
Huang Yue Li chuckled and said: “Yesterday when I went to the study, I found a book that my father had left behind. When I opened it, unexpectedly it was a personal letter from an Armament Refiner. There were also detailed explanations regarding refining and smelting. So I decided to try my hand at it.”
Cai Wei Blankly listened, “But…how could refining be this simple? Don’t others say that Armament Refiners are like Gods, can stone really become gold? I think you must need extremely high talent in order to to succeed right?”
“Of course I possess refining talent. My father had said in the letter that he had tested my potential when I was younger. That is why he wrote that letter and told me to train diligently, improving everyday!”
Huang Yue Li was blurting out nonsense non-stop.
But Cai Wei wasn’t experienced or knowledgeable like Shopkeeper Sun. She was someone of ordinary birth, furthermore she was but a lowly servant. At most, the information she could obtain was from listening to others discuss how difficult the profession was. She was oblivious to the actual difficulty.
Hearing Huang Yue Li speaking like that, she easily believed her.
She happily replied: “Turns out it was the Previous Master who said this, naturally this wouldn’t be wrong! This….this is really too good. Third Young Miss, if you really are able to become an Armament Master, the current master and his family would no longer dare to bully you!”
Huang Yue Li on the other hand meet with something unexpected.
Looked like that cheap, old man Bai Liu Feng, of hers truly wasn’t simple. Just through his good reputation alone, she was able to swindle others. Those years, he was definitely a highly influential man of the crown’s….
Just how did he disappear?
Suddenly thinking of something, she said: “Right, I need you to complete a task for me. Go find a couple of beggars outside and ask them to spread the news of my Fourth Sister running around naked in the streets. The further the news spread, the better. The best result would be spreading it throughout the entire capital!”
Chapter 22: Even Her Intestines are Black

Eyes wides, Cai Wei hesitantly said: “Third Young Miss….this….this isn’t too good right? That day, Fourth Young Miss must have definitely met with some mishap, resulting in her actions. If this fuss blows up in the capital, then how shameful it will be…”
Huang Yue Li sneered: “I precisely want her to be humiliated!”
“But, Third Young Miss, if Fourth Young Miss’ chastity really were to be questioned. Then with your identity as a Young Miss in the Manor will also be affected…..”
“Wasn’t I already framed by others, saying I secret meetings with a man, already losing the family’s face? What reputation am I afraid of ruining?”
Huang Yue Li became a bit impatient and she continued: “Enough, looking from all angles, you do not seem like my maid at all! Go do as I say!”
Seeing that she was angered, Cai Wei went to do her bidding.
Frowning her brows, Huang Yue Li guessed that her maid had been influenced by the previous Lord too much. Her courage was even smaller than a watermelon bug. How could this acceptable? She must find a suitable time to train up her courage!
When Cai Wei left, she locked the doors to the study. She also set a simple trap to avoid others from entering.
The small fluffy phoenix ball then flew out of her sleeves. Once it landed, it transformed into an arrogant faced child.
Within its large, round, watery purple eyes were clear expressions of despise.
“Good! Female demon, you are too treacherous. Without shame! Just earlier this morning you received that stinking and strange aunty’s silvers and now you rush to publicize her affairs! Do you still possess a human’s conscience?”
Huang Yue Li did not possess the slightest bit of guilt.
“So what if I took her silvers? That IOU was something she wrote herself. It is heaven’s law to repay your debts. If she doesn’t want me to spread it, did she pay any hush money?”
The small phoenix replied: “Then her IOU…didn’t you trick her into signing that? You already received a sum of money, yet you still want to receive hush money?”
Huang Yue Li icily replied: “Little brat, I’ll warn you not to talk recklessly. What trickery? It was that girl who took the initiative to come here first to destroy my property. All I received was the appropriate psychological compensation. As for the matter of the hush money, that is a completely different matter altogether. Who told her to run around naked? An eye for an eye, each and every debt must be calculated clearly. I did not indiscriminately go asking for money!”
The small phoenix was thoroughly stunned by her shameful calculations.
This female demon was not only black on the outside, even her intestines were black!
One truly would feel pity for the Fourth Young Miss in offending this female demon. Even if she didn’t die, she would at least shed a layer of skin!
Just as he was blankly thinking, Huang Yue Li suddenly picked him up.
Just as he wanted to struggle, he was swiftly released in an opening of the furnace.
Her eyes curved in smiles, Huang Yue Li asked in an extremely gentle and warm tone: “Little brother, help big sister with something okay?”
“You…what do you want to do?”
Very cautiously, he withdrew his body backwards.
Just a moment ago, her face was filled with sinister calculations and in a blink of an eye, she was full of sweet smiles. The small phoenix didn’t feel moved, on the contrary he could feel beads of cold sweat appearing.
“It’s very easy, just a little, little, little thing. You know that in order to refine armaments, the power and quality of the flame is very important. As a powerful and grand ancient mythological phoenix, your innate flame must also be equally formidable right? If you just breathe a small breath of fire, en, open your mouth to help, you will be assisting this big sister by a lot. Isn’t it easy?”
He furiously shook his head.
“No can do! No can do! The Phoenix’s true flame is something formed from our origins. I am still young, if I were to recklessly spit out flames, then it could drastically affect my future growth and development!”
