Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: She—Qi Yue, is the real boss of this world!
 

Qi Yue looked at the black jade pendant she held up high with surprise.

This thing seemed to be of great quality, but to call it a mere jade pendant seemed somewhat of an understatement.

For one, its size was rather large, about as big as two adult thumbs put together, and secondly, its color and shape were both unusual—a black, conical piece of jade carving was something she had never seen before.

“The Black Feather Order, Rishengchang? Are you talking about the Rishengchang, the biggest silver note issuer that’s spread across the four countries?”

“Yes.”

Zhao Xiyan watched with interest as Qi Yue’s eyes slowly widened, feeling somewhat regretful at the bottom of his heart.

If he had known she would like it, he would have taken it out earlier; perhaps then, he wouldn’t have almost lost her.

“Does that mean the Rishengchang now belongs to the Marquis Residence?” Qi Yue swallowed hard.

As someone who liked to convert silver notes into silver and gold, she was very familiar with Rishengchang.

A solid financial tycoon indeed!

Just take Beiyuan, for example—there wasn’t a major city without its presence.

And then there were Donggao, Nanyue, Western Chu!

That was literally converting all the silver coins in the world!

The piles of silver and gold, it was unimaginable!

If all of this belonged to the Marquis Residence, wouldn’t that be something?

“Rishengchang has nothing to do with the Marquis Residence; it belonged to me before, and from now on, it will be yours.”

“Ah?” Qi Yue was startled again, “Does this mean that even if I hadn’t taken action, you would have had people to take care of you on the road to exile?”

At her words, Zhao Xiyan shook his head repeatedly.

“No, on the contrary, without you, I simply wouldn’t have survived.”

That statement thoroughly confused Qi Yue.

“What’s going on here? I heard that Rishengchang has been around for decades; how could it not originate from the Marquis Residence? If it did come from the Marquis Residence, then why was no one protecting you along the way?”

“My father and mother didn’t even know about the existence of Rishengchang,” Zhao Xiyan shook his head and glanced at the night sky that had grown deeper, “And there are many things involved here, Yueyue, are you sure you want to hear them?”

“Of course I want to hear,” Qi Yue said urgently, “I won’t be able to sleep otherwise.”

Suddenly, Zhao Xiyan leaned in close to her with his head down, “It’s getting too late; shall we go inside and talk slowly?”

There was a suppressed tide of emotion in his husky voice, and the cool fragrance from the man’s lips further sanded against her weakened nerves.

Qi Yue shivered and quickly stood up.

“It’s late, yes, we can talk about it later.”

Zhao Xiyan also stood up, his tall figure immediately engulfing hers, and Qi Yue hurriedly took a few steps back.

“You should go back to sleep! We can talk about the rest tomorrow.”

She was afraid of this man.

If he embraced her again, could she even keep her mouth shut?

“Will you be able to sleep without hearing it?” Zhao Xiyan asked with a smile.

“Yes, for sure,” Qi Yue said, feigning a yawn.

“…It really is getting late; I’m feeling a bit sleepy!”

Zhao Xiyan hadn’t actually intended to do anything but to scare Qi Yue. Seeing her react like this, he didn’t linger any longer. After watching her enter the room, he left the Furong Courtyard as well.

This night was destined to be sleepless.

Both Zhao Xiyan and Qi Yue were hardly able to contain their excitement, after all, the nature of their relationship had finally been settled.

The next day, Qi Yue didn’t wake up until almost noon. After getting ready, a maid came to tell her that Zhao Xiyan had already ordered servants to bring food to her courtyard.

Qi Yue guessed he was busy with something and probably hadn’t eaten, so she casually ate a little bit, then went into the Space Mall to cook a bowl of dumplings, which she put in a food container and personally carried to the front hall.

The atmosphere today was noticeably tense, with the soldiers all looking serious and hurrying along.

As she expected, Song Chengye’s army of three hundred thousand had arrived and was camped ten miles outside Yecheng.

Three hundred thousand against twenty thousand, no matter how one looked at it, the pressure on Zhao Xiyan was immense.

However, Qi Yue had an inexplicable trust in Zhao Xiyan, feeling that he would find a way.

Even if we take a step back, isn’t she still there?

If Song Chengye really pushed her into a corner, she could just throw out all the tens of thousands of Small Fragrant Melons from the Space Mall!

And just by doing that once, all four nations would know that she—Qi Yue, was the true boss of this world!

As Qi Yue was mentally strategizing, she made her way to the council hall.

As soon as they saw her coming, the generals who were discussing matters all bowed their heads and left.

Zhao Xiyan also came down from the main seat above and greeted her with a smile.

“Yueyue, did you eat the meal I sent you?”

Qi Yue smiled slightly and placed the food box she was carrying on a table to the side.

“I did, from now on when you get busy don’t worry about me, I won’t starve. Come here, I made you something delicious.”

Although she had bought it, she had cooked it, so it might as well have been homemade.

Zhao Xiyan walked over and was surprised by the chubby, crescent-shaped food in front of him.

“Yueyue, what is this?”

Knowing that Beiyuan did not have such a food, Qi Yue eagerly introduced it.

“It’s called dumplings, try some and see if you like them?”

Speaking of which, she also brought out her exclusive homemade chili sauce, which was actually bought from the Space Mall.

“Look, you eat it like this; you pick up a dumpling, then dip it in the sauce…”

Zhao Xiyan, following her lead, picked up one, dipped it into the chili sauce, and the next second, the fragrant dumpling was at her mouth.

“Yueyue, eat.”

Qi Yue had barely taken a small bite when he swiftly stuffed most of the dumpling into her mouth.

Seeing him savor it, Qi Yue asked eagerly, “How is it, do you like the flavor?”

Zhao Xiyan pursed his lips, looking deeply at her for a long while before saying, “I like it, it’s very fragrant and sweet.”

“!!”

Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, suddenly realizing he was talking about the half-bitten dumpling. Her face immediately turned red.

“You, you really are…”

She simply didn’t know what to say about this man!

All she could say was he was like two different people, unbelievably so!

“What’s the matter?” Zhao Xiyan looked at her with an innocent face, picked up a second dumpling, dipped it in the chili, and brought it to her lips.

When she shook her head refusing to eat it, he put it in his mouth.

Chewing it nonchalantly, he finally said, “This one is also tasty, but not sweet.”

Qi Yue was thoroughly convinced by this man!

Could he not stop using the words “fragrant and sweet”?

What she found unbearable was that Zhao Xiyan finished the entire bowl of dumplings and still had an insatiable look as he added.

“The best tasting one was the first, fragrant, sweet, and intriguing.”

“You…”

Qi Yue was speechless, knowing full well what Zhao Xiyan meant, yet she could not bring herself to say it, especially since he had not explicitly said that no delicacy in the world could compare to her rosy lips.

“Yueyue, if you want to say something, just say it. I am very much inclined to listen.”

“It’s nothing.”

Qi Yue quickly put the empty bowls back into the food box, worried the man would keep pestering her endlessly with questions, so she steered the conversation toward the predicament at hand.

“My Marquis Zhao, there’s an army of three hundred thousand eagerly eyeing us outside, have you thought about how to deal with them?”

Zhao Xiyan quite enjoyed the new title “My Marquis Zhao,” his eyes curving into a sharp new moon.

“There’s nothing much to think about, let Song Chengye live another day. Tomorrow…”

He hummed twice, his gaze falling on the defense map of Yecheng beside him, lips curving into an arrogant arc.

“…if he dares to scheme against you, I’ll send him straight to hell!”
