However, he did not realize that it was the treasure of the Spirit Mountain—the Snow Spirit Fox—thinking it was just a relatively rare white fox.
He had a severe case of obsessive cleanliness; even the slightest bit of dirt would disgust him. Therefore, upon seeing the Snow Spirit Fox, whose fur was as white as snow and flawless, he naturally admired it greatly.
Luo Bingbing sensed a faint gaze lingering on her from upstairs, but she paid it no mind and directly walked towards her Nursemaid, who was still ahead buying puppets for her while holding the Snow Spirit Fox in her arms.
As the saying goes, "Life is unpredictable; plans can't keep up with changes."
Sure enough, she wasn't looking for trouble, but trouble found her instead.
The Second Young Lady of the General's Mansion happened to be out shopping today, and at that moment, she came face to face with Luo Bingbing. Thus, she quickly spotted the Snow Spirit Fox in Luo Bingbing's arms.
Upon seeing the Snow Spirit Fox, completely snow-white and without a single flaw, she became extremely fond of it and wanted to claim it for herself. So she immediately instructed her guard behind her to ask Luo Bingbing for the Snow Spirit Fox.
The Second Young Lady of the General's Mansion exclaimed loudly, "Wow! That little dog is so cute! Shen Guard, go get that little dog for me to play with!"
When Shen Guard heard her words, he followed her gaze. What he saw was a delicate Little Doll who seemed to be only five or six years old, cradling a completely pristine little fox in her arms.
Once he realized it was a little fox and not the puppy his Second Young Lady referred to, he understood that his Second Young Lady had made a mistake. However, he wouldn't be foolish enough to point that out!
After all, this Second Young Lady was the treasure of the General and his wife! Moreover, her biological sister was an Imperial Noble Consort! Offending her would mean he could forget about getting by in the General's Mansion.
Shen Guard slightly nodded to his Second Young Lady before slowly walking towards Luo Bingbing. When he reached her side, he smiled and asked, "Little Doll, are you shopping alone?"
Luo Bingbing had already heard what the Second Young Lady of the General's Mansion said. Upon hearing that the Second Young Lady referred to her Snow Spirit Fox as a puppy, she couldn't help but curl her lips slightly into a mocking smile.
However, she did not respond and continued to walk slowly forward, holding the Snow Spirit Fox towards the Nursemaid.
As she walked, someone intentionally blocked her path.
It was none other than the Shen Guard. When Luo Bingbing saw someone standing in her way, she couldn't help but frown slightly, but she remained silent.
After hearing what the person blocking her said, Luo Bingbing glanced at him lightly and coldly said, "Step aside."
The Shen Guard was momentarily taken aback by the words of this Little One, but it was only for an instant before he regained his composure.
Seeing this Little One being so rude, he decided not to hold back. He directly addressed her, saying, "Little Doll, I want to buy the little fox you're holding. Name your price!"
Upon hearing his words, Luo Bingbing's lips curled into a slight smile, revealing a mischievous grin as she mockingly replied, "Name a price? Nine million taels of gold. Can you afford that?"
The crowd around them was stunned by Luo Bingbing's words, frozen in place as they thought to themselves, "Nine million taels of gold for such a small fox? Is it really worth that much?"
Meanwhile, in the tavern, Dongfang Hao stood by the window and raised an eyebrow upon seeing the Second Young Lady of the General's residence. He recognized her as Consort Shu's younger sister and General Lan's youngest daughter, Lan Ruohan. He also knew that Lan Ruohan was usually very arrogant and domineering.
When he heard Lan Ruohan refer to the Little White Fox that he admired as a puppy, he couldn't help but show a look of disgust.
However, when he heard the Little One holding the Little White Fox demand nine million taels of gold, he felt a faint interest in her.
He realized that the Little One holding the Little White Fox clearly had no intention of selling it and was saying that on purpose. Thus, he changed his mind about leaving and decided to stay and watch.
Meanwhile, after regaining his senses, the Shen Guard found himself at a loss for how to respond to this Little One. Just then, the Second Young Lady of the General's residence—Lan Ruohan—spoke up.
She arrogantly said, "What money? Not a single copper coin. I see that your little... little fox is your blessing. Don't refuse a toast and instead drink the punishment wine!" She intended to say "little dog," but quickly corrected herself upon remembering that the guard Shen had just referred to it as a little fox.
In fact, she saw that Luo Bingbing was just one person, younger than her, and she herself not only was older than Luo Bingbing but also had a large entourage of maids and guards behind her. Therefore, she assumed that Luo Bingbing would be easy to bully and thought she could take the Snow Spirit Fox without giving a single copper coin.
Little did she know, this one person, the Little One, was the hardest to provoke. If angered, not only would her life be in danger, but she might even end up as ashes!
After hearing Lan Ruohan's words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. The corners of her mouth slowly lifted into a radiant smile as she looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Is that so?"
The playful tone not only failed to alert the Second Young Lady of the General's residence but instead made her even more arrogant as she said, "That's right! Do you know who I am? Just saying it might scare you to death." At this point, she paused slightly.
After casting a disdainful glance at Luo Bingbing across from her, she continued, "I am the Second Young Lady of the General's residence, the younger sister of Consort Shu. I am Royal Relatives!"
Upon hearing her words, the onlookers who had gathered around felt apprehensive about getting involved and quickly dispersed.
Luo Bingbing rolled her eyes after hearing what she said and disdainfully curled her lips.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Hao, who was leaning against the window of the tavern, showed a look of disgust after hearing Lan Ruohan's words and muttered to himself, "Royal Relatives? Do you deserve that?"
Although he spoke very softly, Luo Bingbing below still caught his words.
Luo Bingbing had already sensed that the vague gaze lingering on her came from the window of the tavern, but she chose not to pay attention or look up to see who it was.
Now, upon hearing that remark, she didn't need to look up to know that the person standing at the window was Dongfang Hao, the current emperor of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
She recognized his voice from before, which is why she was so certain that it was indeed Dongfang Hao standing at the tavern window.
Upon realizing that the person upstairs was the Emperor of the Silver Moon Kingdom, Luo Bingbing suddenly changed her mind about dealing with the rude Second Young Lady.
Thinking that the person upstairs was the wealthiest individual in the Silver Moon Kingdom and that she needed money to build her own power, she felt it was only fair to collect some viewing fees after putting on such a long performance.
She casually glanced at Lan Ruohan across from her and slowly said, "Oh! Is that so? Royal Relatives?"
The tone of her question, which seemed to be both a question and a statement, piqued Dongfang Hao's interest upstairs, much like a hunter discovering an intriguing prey.
Luo Bingbing scanned them all and continued without waiting for Lan Ruohan to respond, "But what does it matter if they are Royal Relatives? In my eyes, they are nothing more than ants."
Bang...
Upon hearing her words, everyone present couldn't help but gasp in shock.
They all thought to themselves, "This Little Doll is too bold! She doesn't even regard Royal Relatives."
At the same time, they speculated whether this Little Doll was from the royal family; otherwise, how could she dismiss Royal Relatives so easily?
Dongfang Hao upstairs revealed a playful expression after hearing Luo Bingbing's words and mused, "Interesting. This Little Doll may be young, but she has quite a bit of courage! To say that Royal Relatives are nothing more than ants in her eyes and to disregard imperial authority—I'm curious about which family's child she is."
The Second Young Lady of the General's Mansion, Lan Ruohan, was utterly shocked by Luo Bingbing's words and found herself at a loss for words.
She stared at Luo Bingbing, stammering, "You... you... you..." but couldn't articulate a coherent response.
While Luo Bingbing engaged with them, she kept an eye on the Nursemaid's movements. Seeing that the Nursemaid was already paying, she thought that since the performance had gone on for so long, it was time to wrap things up.
Luo Bingbing then said to the Second Young Lady of the general's residence, "What are you? Today, out of respect for that old emperor, I won't take your life; I'll just collect some interest from you."
Upon hearing her words, everyone was puzzled and displayed expressions of confusion. However, Luo Bingbing didn't care about that. As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly moved in front of Lan Ruohan.
Before anyone could react, she secretly activated her Inner Strength and unleashed her Ability, floating to the same height as Lan Ruohan, and swiftly slapped her across the face.
After the sound of slapping echoed in the air, everyone finally saw that the Little One was slapping the Second Young Lady of the general's residence. The guards from the general's residence rushed over, wanting to stop the Little One's actions. But before they could reach their Second Young Lady, the Little One had already returned to her original spot.
When everyone looked at the Second Young Lady of the general's residence again, they could hardly recognize her; her once beautiful face was now completely unrecognizable, swollen like a tumor, resembling a pig's head.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned and frozen in place. But before they could regain their senses, they heard the Little One's shocking words.
"Damn it, it looks like there's a lot of meat here, but it's all bones. My hand is sore from hitting you."
It turned out that after returning to the little fox's side, Luo Bingbing noticed that her hand from slapping the Second Young Lady was already quite red. Unable to hold back, she blurted it out.
Bang...
Some people who couldn't handle the shock fainted upon hearing her words and fell heavily to the ground.
In a tavern above, His Majesty Dongfang Hao of the Silver Moon Kingdom was leaning by the window, watching the exciting scene below with great interest when he suddenly heard the Little One's outrageous words and froze in place.
Before he could react, the Little One had already appeared in front of him in an instant.
Indeed, after glancing at her slightly reddened hand, Luo Bingbing used her Ability to instantly float to where Dongfang Hao was at the window.
As soon as Luo Bingbing vanished, the Second Young Lady of the General's Mansion began to kiss the ground passionately, producing a sound that drew everyone's attention.
Upon hearing the noise, those around quickly regained their senses and turned to see their Second Young Lady had fainted on the ground. They rushed over in haste.
The Shen Guard cradled his Second Young Lady in his arms, calling out to her several times and shaking her gently, but she remained unresponsive, showing no signs of life.
Seeing this, the other maids and guards of the General's Mansion panicked, filled with fear. Finally, the Shen Guard spoke up, "Quickly carry the Second Young Lady back for treatment! Report truthfully and bring that Little Doll back as well."
The other maids and guards nodded in agreement. However, when they turned to look for the Little Doll, they found no trace of her.
Confused by the sudden disappearance of Luo Bingbing, they wondered how someone who had just been standing there could vanish in the blink of an eye.
With no sign of the Little One, they had no choice but to send a few people to take Lan Ruohan back to the General's Mansion for treatment and report what had just happened to the General and his wife. Meanwhile, others stayed behind on the street to search for any sign of the Little Doll.
When Dongfang Hao suddenly saw the Little One appear before him, he snapped back to reality, his gaze fixed on her as she leaned against the window with the Little White Fox in her arms.
Luo Bingbing leaned against the opposite window, coldly staring back at Dongfang Hao while releasing an aura of pressure characteristic of a strong individual.
Feeling the pressure emanating from the Little One, Dongfang Hao no longer restrained his own imperial aura; he released it fully to counter hers.
The clash between their powerful auras caused the temperature in the room to plummet.
Surprised by how formidable the Little One's aura was—able to match his own—Dongfang Hao felt astonished but showed no outward signs of it.
With their auras evenly matched, it now came down to which one would falter first.
The Personal Bodyguard of Dongfang Hao stood at the doorway and suddenly felt a chill emanating from inside the room. He was slightly puzzled and turned his head to take a look.
Upon seeing inside, he was immediately startled, nearly having his heart leap out of his chest.
Clearly, there was only the Emperor inside, and he was standing at the door without seeing anyone enter. How could a delicate Little Doll suddenly appear inside?
Though he was filled with confusion, he remained dutiful. The moment he saw Luo Bingbing, he rushed into the room.
He quickly walked to the side of Emperor Dongfang Hao and shouted at Luo Bingbing across the room, "You dare!"
Hearing his words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly and replied with a wicked smile, "Dare, is it?"
Upon hearing his Personal Bodyguard's words, Dongfang Hao first waved his hand to signal the guard to step back, then teasingly said to the Little One across from him, "Little Doll, has anyone ever told you that you're too arrogant? Having too much courage isn't necessarily a good thing!"
After saying this, he retracted the imposing aura that belonged to an emperor. Seeing that he had withdrawn his pressure, the Little One also concealed her own strong presence.
As they both suppressed their powerful auras, the temperature in the room instantly returned to normal, and even the flowing air felt much more comfortable.
After listening to the Silver Moon Emperor's words, Luo Bingbing calmly replied, "I am arrogant for myself; what does it have to do with others?" After pausing briefly, she continued, "Besides, I haven't killed anyone or broken any laws. What business is it of theirs?"
Upon hearing her words, Dongfang Hao raised an eyebrow and slowly said, "Do you not know that under heaven all land belongs to the king and all common people are subjects of the royal family?" He added, "It seems you are speaking on behalf of that Second Young Lady from the general's residence. However, just as water can carry a boat or capsize it, without the common people of this world, would there be a royal family today?"
Luo Bingbing coldly responded to him.
Dongfang Hao's Personal Bodyguard was greatly astonished by the Little One's words and stared blankly at her as she leaned against the window.
Dongfang Hao was genuinely surprised by Luo Bingbing's response. Previously aware only of her formidable strength, he now realized that this Little One possessed such astonishing talent at such a young age. It truly amazed him.
Seeing the Little Doll in front of him, not only skilled in martial arts but also possessing extraordinary talent, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but think: Perhaps even his Cabinet Scholar from the Hanlin Academy couldn't compare to her!
With this thought, Dongfang Hao began to view the Little Doll with new respect, while also considering how to make use of her talents.
After all, this girl was truly remarkable. If such a talent were to fall into the hands of another nation, the Silver Moon Kingdom would be in grave danger.
Luo Bingbing, glancing at the two people across from her who were stunned by her performance, extended a small hand and said, "Enough talk, hurry up and pay. It's a flat price: one hundred thousand taels of gold!"
Thud...
The Silver Moon Emperor Dongfang Hao's bodyguard gasped in shock upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words.
He couldn't help but think to himself: "This Little Doll is too bold! How dare she repeatedly disrespect the Emperor and challenge his authority? Now she is openly asking for money from him, and at such an outrageous price. Does she have a death wish?"
Meanwhile, Dongfang Hao, upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, was filled with confusion. He thought: I don't owe this Little Doll any money! Moreover, today is our first meeting; how could I possibly owe her anything?
In his bewilderment, he couldn't help but ask aloud, "When did I owe you money, Little Doll?"
Upon hearing his question, Luo Bingbing shot him a disdainful glance and pouted, saying, "The wonderful performance you just watched was put on by me. I only shared the stage with that pig-headed Second Young Lady out of consideration for you. But my performance isn't free; it's one hundred thousand taels of gold per show."
After a brief pause, she continued, "So, pay up!"
Hearing her words, the Emperor Dongfang Hao's personal bodyguard couldn't help but think: "One hundred thousand taels for a show? Why don't you just go rob someone instead!"
However, he only dared to voice this thought internally; after all, there was still a Your Majesty standing next to him! He didn't have the guts to speak nonsense in front of the Emperor.
“Little Doll, did I ask you to perform for me?” Dongfang Hao said with a narrowed gaze, a playful tone in his voice.
Upon hearing his words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but smirk slightly, revealing a mischievous smile as she casually replied, “What’s wrong? Are you trying to back out and act like a coward?”
“Impressive, truly impressive! How dare you compare the current True Dragon Son to a coward.” Dongfang Hao's bodyguard thought to himself, secretly giving Luo Bingbing a thumbs up in admiration.
However, Dongfang Hao felt quite displeased after hearing the words of the Little One, raising an eyebrow as he said, “Little Doll, you can eat whatever you want, but don’t speak carelessly! Be careful of trouble coming from your mouth!”
“No need to worry, no one in this world can take my life!” Luo Bingbing replied arrogantly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing noticed that Nursemaid was anxiously searching for her and the Little Beggar Luo Yi on the street below.
Thus, Luo Bingbing secretly activated her Inner Strength and used her Ability to transmit her words directly into Nursemaid's mind.
After buying a puppet and returning to the place where she had separated from her Little Princess, Nursemaid found that both her Little Princess and the Little Beggar Luo Yi were missing. Not seeing her Little Princess, she felt very anxious and began searching everywhere on the street.
While searching, she suddenly heard her Little Princess’s voice in her mind. “Nursemaid, I’m at the restaurant across from you, please come up!”
Startled by the sudden voice of Luo Bingbing, Nursemaid jumped but quickly regained her composure since she had experienced this before.
After hearing Luo Bingbing's words, she turned to look at the restaurant across the street and saw her Little Princess looking at her from the window, alongside a seemingly handsome man in white.
Though she didn’t know who the man in white was, she naturally assumed he was a friend of her Little Princess. So, she hurriedly made her way toward the restaurant.
Meanwhile, both Dongfang Hao and his Personal Bodyguard, after hearing Luo Bingbing's words, thought to themselves: “This Little Doll is truly arrogant!”
Luo Bingbing saw the Nursemaid approaching her and turned her gaze to Dongfang Hao, saying, "Hurry up and pay, stop dawdling."
Upon hearing her words, Dongfang Hao's expression darkened slightly, as if he were contemplating the value of this Little One in comparison to the hundred thousand taels of gold.
While he was deep in thought, the clear and youthful voice of Luo Bingbing floated to his ears again. The Little One exclaimed, "Don't try to renege on the deal, hurry up and pay! I’m in a hurry to leave!"
Hearing her words, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Little Doll, you look like you're only five or six years old! How can you call yourself 'old lady'? Didn't your parents teach you what it means to be well-mannered?"
"I can call myself whatever I want; it’s none of your business!" Luo Bingbing immediately retorted.
Just as Dongfang Hao was about to respond, the Nursemaid appeared at the door of the room. Seeing that the Nursemaid had arrived, Luo Bingbing quickly called out to her.
"Hey Nursemaid, I'm here! Come in!"
The Nursemaid was outside looking around for the room where Luo Bingbing was. Suddenly hearing her voice, she quickly turned around and saw her Little Princess right behind her. Thus, the Nursemaid slowly walked into the room.
When Dongfang Hao and his Personal Bodyguard saw the Nursemaid's figure, they directed their gaze toward her. However, when they noticed the half-visible Birthmark on her face, they quickly averted their eyes and displayed expressions of disgust.
Luo Bingbing noticed their disdainful looks toward the Nursemaid and looked down on them, thinking: What a couple of superficial people.
Once inside, the Nursemaid greeted Dongfang Hao and his Personal Bodyguard respectfully. Just as she was about to call Luo Bingbing "Little Princess," she was silenced by a wave of Luo Bingbing's hand.
The Emperor of Silver Moon Kingdom, Dongfang Hao, had a severe case of mysophobia. Therefore, upon seeing that the Nursemaid had entered, he wanted to leave the room quickly. He didn't even respond when the Nursemaid greeted him; it was his Personal Bodyguard who replied for him.
Eager to leave immediately, Dongfang Hao agreed to Luo Bingbing's request. He glanced lightly at the Little One across from him and said, "Little Doll, I didn’t bring that much silver with me today. How about you tell me your address? After I return home, I’ll send someone to deliver those gold pieces to your residence."
