Although these people recognized Yun Jiu's little devilish nature, they seemed to be drawn in by a mysterious force. Instead of being angry, they stretched their necks in anticipation of the exciting confrontation about to unfold, much like waiting for a long-awaited feast.
At that moment, Bai Moyu's face was as dark as if it could drip water. His piercing gaze fixed on Yun Jiu, his voice laced with barely concealed anger. "Yun Jiu! Don't go too far! Fifty thousand taels? You can forget it!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Jiu merely sighed lightly, a hint of helplessness on her face. "Bai Moyu, I just wanted to help. Since you think it's too expensive, then forget it. It's not me who's paralyzed; I don't care." She paused, glancing at Bai Morou beside her, a mocking smile curling at her lips. "I just didn't expect that the Fourth Miss of the Bai Family isn't even worth fifty thousand taels. Oh, how pitiful! There must be something detestable about such a pitiful person; that's what they mean by a wretched person!"
"Wretched person! You're the wretched one! Yun Jiu, I won't let you off!" Bai Morou's face twisted with rage at Yun Jiu's words, her eyes burning red as if she could spit fire. She struggled to stand but was unable to move due to her paralysis, only able to wave her arms in anger.
Seeing this, Yun Jiu merely scoffed. "It's hard to persuade a dead ghost. Since you want to remain paralyzed so badly, I won't keep you company. I'm leaving now; I need to go back for dinner." With that, she turned to walk away.
Bai Morou panicked at this sight. She knew her current physical condition all too well; if Yun Jiu truly ignored her, would she have to remain paralyzed forever? No! She couldn't let that happen!
"Brother! Brother! Quickly give her the money! Save me!" Bai Morou cried out with a sobbing voice, filled with despair and pleading.
Bai Moyu's expression was troubled. Fifty thousand taels was no small amount; he couldn't make that decision alone. But seeing his sister in such pain made him feel reluctant.
"Morou, wait here for now; I'll go back and consult Grandfather!" Bai Moyu gritted his teeth and decided to return to Bai Peng for advice. After all, this matter was significant, and he didn't dare act on his own.
Though Bai Morou felt unwilling inside, she knew this wasn't the time to be willful. She could only nod helplessly as she watched Bai Moyu's departing figure.
Meanwhile, Yun Jiu bounced into the courtyard without a care in the world. She waved at Yun Xiaowu behind her. "Fifth Sister, let's go! Time for dinner in your courtyard! I'm starving!"
Yun Xiaowu was still in a daze at that moment. She wasn't foolish and had clearly seen that Yun Jiu was targeting the Bai siblings. However, she never expected that Bai Moyu, known for his cunning ways, would be so easily outmaneuvered by Yun Jiu and left spinning in circles.
Yun Jiu was pulled back to the courtyard by Yun Hai, who followed behind with a sulky expression. As he walked, he muttered, "Hey! I'm not following you! I'm just worried that my sister might be tricked by you!" Yet the blush on his face betrayed him.
Yun Jiu glanced at him with a half-smile, "Hmph! I, your sister, am magnanimous and won't stoop to your level, you little brat! Aren't you just in awe of me right now? Think I'm amazing?"
"Hmph! What’s there to admire about a useless person who can’t cultivate? I just feel sorry for you!" Yun Hai retorted angrily, though his voice grew softer until it was almost inaudible.
What a stubborn yet adorable little brat! Yun Jiu chuckled inwardly, but not being able to cultivate in this realm was indeed a significant drawback! She wondered what that purple element was and if it could help her cultivate.
When dinner was served, Yun Jiu's thoughts were immediately consumed by the delicious food. She temporarily set aside her cultivation concerns and focused intently on the feast before her.
"Hey! Little brat! That chicken leg is mine!" Yun Jiu declared as she unceremoniously grabbed the chicken leg and placed it in her bowl.
"Hmph! I clearly picked it up first! Yun Jiu, let go of it!" Seeing this, Yun Hai panicked and reached out with his chopsticks to snatch it back.
The two of them were locked in a comical battle over the chicken leg, creating quite the amusing scene. Meanwhile, Bai Moyu was in Bai Peng's study facing a scolding.
"Moyu, your performance today has truly disappointed me! Not only have you ruined the good reputation I've built over the years, but you've also let a useless person toy with you! I'm so disappointed!" Bai Peng said darkly, clearly displeased.
"Grandfather, I admit I was careless today! But how did Yun Jiu suddenly become so sharp-tongued? She was easily fooled by me yesterday for the Spirit Gathering Pill; it's incredibly strange!" Bai Moyu was filled with confusion; he couldn't understand why Yun Jiu had suddenly become so formidable.
"Hmph! Stop making excuses for yourself! As an older brother, you can't even protect Rou'er; you're utterly useless!" Bai Peng snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with Bai Moyu's performance.
"Grandfather, what should we do now? Should we agree to Yun Jiu's terms?" Although Bai Moyu felt resentment towards Bai Peng's favoritism towards Bai Morou, he dared not show it on his face. He could only swallow his anger and ask.
