Chapter 593: Exploited?

"So, what does it matter if the working hours are a bit longer?"

In the courtyard, Ling'er said happily: "At least we have a big house, we don't have to worry about food or clothing, and life is getting better and better!"

Qian Renxue thought for a moment, then asked: "Then do you feel like you are being exploited?"

Ling'er tilted her head, looking as if she were full of question marks: "Why would I feel exploited? Just because the working hours are long? It's not calculated like that, Sister..."

She said to Qian Renxue: "If the Judgment Hall's treatment were bad and they still forced Brother to work more, that would be called exploitation. But the Judgment Hall is actually exchanging incredibly good treatment for Brother's hard work. I don't know how many people want such a good thing but can't get it!"

Qian Renxue realized: "It was my thinking that was off. This is essentially an exchange. As long as what is provided is sufficient, the idea of exploitation naturally won't arise. Only those who provide little while demanding several times the workload are called exploiters."

She lifted her chin, seemingly enlightened: "No wonder Qin Jian said to look more at the grassroots. It turns out that without contacting them, many things are just empty fantasies. I originally felt that it was only right for those Spirit Masters in the Elder Hall to be loyal to me. We gave them a high and lofty status, so they should risk their lives for me. But in fact, do they really live comfortably? Do they really have no worries? Are they really grateful to me?"

"It turns out I had never thought about these things..."

She stood alone under the morning sun, lost in deep thought.

To be a qualified superior, one must, of course, be able to understand the power in one's hands and what those who follow one want, rather than just talking about ideals in a vacuum.

After all, ideals detached from reality are nothing but castles in the air...

"Xue'er, what are you doing?"

Not long after, Qin Jian walked out and leaned against the door: "Have you washed up?"

"Uh, not yet..."

Qian Renxue turned her head, a look of contemplation still lingering on her face: "I just discovered that you, a person who isn't keen on power, actually manage your subordinates better than I do..."

"Perhaps it's because I'm not keen on power that I'm more laid-back and more willing to share some benefits with those below me," Qin Jian laughed.

"However, we agreed to experience the life of a girl, why are you starting to think about these things again?" he said helplessly.

Qian Renxue looked at him meaningfully: "Because this time when I go back, the conflict between the Elder Hall and the Pope Palace will inevitably intensify. I will be in direct confrontation with Bibi Dong, so my governing ability is something I must strengthen."

The Asura Field is not easy, Qin Jian sighed.

"Sigh, stop thinking about it, hurry up and wash up, then go make breakfast," he waved his hand and said.

"Make breakfast?"

Qian Renxue crossed her arms: "I came to experience life, not to be your cook."

"Girls, isn't it very normal to cook? Look at how well-behaved Ling'er is," Qin Jian laughed.

"On what grounds?"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes: "On what grounds isn't it you who does it? Are men nobler than women? Are women born to do housework? This is discrimination! It's oppression! It's exploitation! I won't do it!"

Truly... an old-school feminist...

"Then... let's do it together."

Qin Jian took her hand and squeezed it, smiling lightly: "Isn't it that I want to eat a meal made by my Xue'er's own hands?"

Qian Renxue blinked her beautiful eyes: "You like the food I make?"

"Of course, you, who have never touched the spring water, cooking for me is very blissful," Qin Jian nodded vigorously.

"Since that's the case, leave Bibi Dong and I'll cook for you for the rest of my life, how about that?" Qian Renxue said immediately.

Qin Jian: "..."

Three sentences and you can't leave Bibi Dong out, you two are the real lovebirds...

Seeing Qin Jian and Qian Renxue embracing while preparing breakfast, and feeding each other bite by bite, Xiao Ling'er outside the window experienced the sour taste of lemon juice for the first time.

Is this the legendary love?

The young girl in her prime is at the age where her heart is just beginning to stir; can Qin Jian be considered to have accumulated great merit? Or perhaps... committing a sin?

Considering Ning Rongrong was earlier, one can probably only comment that it's insane...

This day, Qin Jian took Qian Renxue to sweep through the entire city, walking through every street and alley, just like ordinary lovers, stuck together every moment, making Xiao Ling'er's eyes turn lemon-colored.

There is very little entertainment in this world, not that many fun things, and the snacks they visited were mostly not as good as their own cook's, or even as good as Qian Renxue's own, but she was still very happy.

Being a girl, one can act like a spoiled child without restraint, laugh happily, run without any scruples, and walk with a skip in one's step...

She was like a frolicking little girl, running through all the fun places with Ling'er, one big and one small.

Of course, having Xiao Ling'er as a tour guide and companion still required gold coins...

"Big Brother, Big Sister, we should go pick up the clothes and the necklace, it's about time!"

Even though Xiao Ling'er was having a great time, she still didn't forget her duties and was very professional.

Arriving at the commercial district, they respectively put on the Angel dress and Angel necklace designed by Qin Jian, and Qian Renxue's beauty blinded everyone's eyes.

"I never thought that someone could truly pull off such a snow-white and pure dress..."

The designer was clearly a woman, yet her eyes were sparkling: "Miss, may I take a photo of you? Our shop has a specialized Soul Guidance Device for taking photos."

Qian Renxue wore crystal high heels and an elegant dress, looking at the perfectly outlined curves in the mirror, unable to suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth.

"Qin Jian, do you like it?"

She couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the designer; she only cared about Qin Jian's opinion.

Qin Jian took a deep breath: "Of course... I like it."

Clearly such a power-hungry person, yet she possesses a holy attribute completely opposite to the temperament of Empress Bibi Dong, making it impossible for anyone to treat her as a scheming superior.

"Come."

Qin Jian reached out, grabbed Qian Renxue's soft hand, and with a gentle pull, she stumbled into his arms.

Qin Jian reached out to wrap his arms around her willow waist, pressing her perfect figure against himself, and said sincerely: "I want to keep holding my Xue'er just like this..."

Qian Renxue's eyes softened a little.

I also want to keep holding you forever and ever...

Pity... it's impossible now...

You can't let go of Bibi Dong, and I have no choice...

Qin Jian did not linger in the shop, quickly settled the remaining balance, and then pulled Qian Renxue and Xiao Ling'er along as they walked back.

After all this tossing and turning, it was almost time for the curfew again.

"Big Brother, I cannot accept this gold coin."

Returning to the courtyard of the small building, Ling'er suddenly pulled a gold coin from her pocket and handed it to Qin Jian, saying, "I had a lot of fun today too, and Big Brother spent gold coins to buy me things and treat me to delicious food, so I cannot accept this gold coin."

Qin Jian smiled and pushed her hand back: "You fulfilled your duties as a tour guide, this is what you deserve; as for buying things and treating you to a meal, just consider it a gift because Big Brother likes you."

"Ah?"

Xiao Ling'er's face was flushed red: "Big Brother already has a Big Sister, how can you still like me?"

Qin Jian, Qian Renxue: "..."
