Xiao Tian tolerated Yan Lingji's provocation.
As fine wine, meat, and dishes were served one after another, the dancers arrived, but Xiao Tian found them unappetizing.
"Alright, I'm tired of looking at this. Take it and rest." Xiao Tian took out a piece of emerald green gemstone, which shone with spiritual light. Wearing it for a long time would keep the wearer free from dust, refresh their mind, and help them sleep and relax.
As Zi Nu's capable subordinate, Nongyu had seen many precious items. She was stunned by the emerald that Xiao Tian casually took out. Fortunately, she had a strong mind, otherwise she would have almost lost her composure.
"Thank you, young master." The dancing girl was overjoyed.
"The girl playing the tune, you can go and rest now. Here, take this agate."
Nongyu was once again shocked. The blood agate that Xiao Tian took out was no less impressive than the Huo Yu Agate of Baiyue, and he actually gave it away so readily.
"This is incredibly extravagant!"
Nongyu felt that compared to those high-ranking officials and nobles, this young master was nothing but a lousy little brother, a little brother's little brother.
" Nongyu, you continue. These will all be yours later." Xiao Tian chuckled, taking out a gemstone necklace made of 36 Sea Star black gemstones, as well as gemstones of a slightly higher quality than the blood agate and emeralds he had used before.
Nongyu was almost startled; her heart began to race, pounding like a deer.
That's going too far!
Nongyu felt that this handsome young man was throwing wealth at her, even trying to break her...
The music stopped.
Nongyu stood up, looking apologetic, and said, "Distinguished guests, Nongyu a little tired and will go back to rest first. I apologize."
As she spoke, Nongyu picked up her zither, turned around and was about to leave, her bright eyes showing no lingering interest in the priceless treasure that Xiao Tian had placed on the table.
Xiao Tian wasn't surprised. He stood up and explained, "Beautiful Nongyu, you've misunderstood. I wasn't trying to humiliate you. It's just that your playing is excellent and you deserve this reward. I'm a customer here to listen to your music, and you're an employee here to play. This is a perfectly legitimate transaction, isn't it? There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"
" Brother Tian is right, beautiful sister, don't be angry. That's just my Brother Tian's personality. He's rich, so if you try to rip him off, don't panic." Bai Yuechu added fuel to the fire while gnawing on a pig's trotter.
"Yes, Sister Qin player, my Xiao Brother Tian is a very nice person."
Yan Lingji almost burst out laughing.
Nongyu paused, realizing that Xiao Tian's words were indeed correct. She calmed down, thought about the task Zi Nu had given her, turned around to look at Xiao Tian, and bowed slightly.
"Young master, I misunderstood. Please understand that the treasures you have presented are enough to cause a stir in Han State. Wealth should not be flaunted. You are from out of town, so please remember that."
"Hehe, we understand the beauty's good intentions. Don't worry, our wealth is something that even the most powerful person couldn't take from us unless we offer it." Xiao Tian said nonchalantly.
Nongyu was somewhat speechless. She returned to her original spot and continued playing the zither.
A moment later, the door opened, and a beautiful woman entered carrying a tray. She wore a unique, form-fitting purple dress, had purple eyes and hair, and a small patch of bare skin on either side of her slender waist and abdomen. Her skin was as white as jade, without any excess fat, and had purple cloud patterns on it.
Her long, slender legs were encased in black stockings, and she wore a pair of purple high heels.
Xiao Tian's beautiful eyes lit up. Even without relying on the system's detection information, she knew the identity of the woman who had entered.
The owner of the Purple Orchid Pavilion, Zi Nu.
The Zi Nu hair had a delicate and perfect face, and the purple butterfly wing tattoo under her left eye made her face extremely charming.
This is a woman of captivating beauty!
Xiao Tian couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling the cold gaze from Yan Lingji beside him.
"Beautiful lady, did you come to the wrong room?" Xiao Tian blinked innocently, staring at Zi Nu.
"Young master, I am Zi Nu, the mistress of the Purple Orchid Pavilion. I just learned that you are not very satisfied with our dancers. Would you like to change them?" Zi Nu stared at Xiao Tian, carefully examining him, and tentatively determined that Xiao Tian was a wealthy young master from out of town, full of extravagance.
"Change it? I think that's enough. I've seen too many young masters of dance in the world; nothing really interests me anymore." Xiao Tian shook his head.
"How about I perform a sword dance for you, young master?"
Nongyu was playing the zither, suddenly stopped playing, shocked. Zi Nu was actually willing to dance for someone? What was going on? Had the world gone mad?
Zi Nu felt a pang of regret; this was the first time she had ever said such things to a customer, but words spoken were like water spilled—they couldn't be taken back.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaim, "That's interesting! I've seen plenty of sword dances, but it's sure to be fun to see such a beautiful woman like you, the proprietress, performing it."
"If these please my eye, they're all yours!"
Splash!
The Heart of the Ocean sapphire, the Source of Life emerald, and a total of 40 Duobao and agate jewelry pieces are scattered on the table.
Zi Nu's pretty face changed color; she hadn't expected that Xiao Tian's loose robe could hold so many jewels.
Moreover, each of those items was practically priceless, yet they were taken out so discreetly!
Even the current Wang Ye Han couldn't do that.
Who exactly is this young man?
Zi Nu became curious about Xiao Tian.
Yan Lingji's beautiful eyes grew even colder, realizing that Yaya's secret instruction to her to monitor Xiao Tian was absolutely necessary.
"Thank you for your kindness, young master. These are far too valuable and may bring disaster upon our Purple Orchid Pavilion." Zi Nu smiled coldly and drew out the Chain Snake Soft Sword, Red Snake, which was wrapped around her waist like a belt.
Zi Nu felt that this was the first time in her life that she had performed a sword dance for someone, and it was well worth it. This Xiao Tian was shrouded in mist, mysterious and extraordinary, and she couldn't see through the woman beside him either.
"What a fine sword!"
Zi Nu's Chain Snake Soft Sword moved like a dancing snake and dragon, swaying with Zi Nu figure in the not-so-spacious private room. Accompanied by the rich sound of the zither, Xiao Tian was completely immersed in the music, while the gluttonous Bai Yuechu was oblivious to everything else.
"Ding! Simultaneously enjoy Zi Nu's sword dance and Nong Nongyu's zither playing! World Fragment *1!"
Xiao Tian was surprised. The list of achievements in his mind appeared, and he found that most of the achievement tasks in this world, once completed, would reward him with World Fragment.
Half an hour later, Zi Nu finished her dance.
"I wonder if you are satisfied, young master?"
Xiao Tian clapped his hands and chuckled, "Satisfied! The proprietress's sword dance truly made my blood boil, my heart pound, and my soul tremble. It's so lucky to have met the proprietress in this lifetime."
Yan Lingji almost let out a cold laugh, her eyes filled with disdain for Xiao Tian.
"Since you are satisfied, young master, then I will not disturb you any longer. Zi Nu takes her leave."
Seeing Zi Nu turn and walk away with her Mystic Step, Xiao Tian couldn't help but stop her, asking, "Has the proprietress ever heard of someone?"
"Young master, please speak." Zi Nu turned around, her purple Heavenly Eye's.
"Han Fei, son of the King of Han Fei."
