Chapter 2675: Brewing Tea in Person
"Yeah, that's right! I actually forgot the paperwork!"
Ye Liuyun laughed, "Fine, I'll make it cheap for you, kid! Getting to see such a rare red snake is fate for us!"
"Then I'll treat you another day, specially to thank Master Ye!"
Liu Yuanfeng immediately replied.
"Haha, good!"
Ye Liuyun pretended to be generous and agreed.
Afterwards, Lin feng zhi arranged the tables, and everyone put away their ferocious beasts.
The victor of this hunt was naturally Liu Yuanfeng.
However, Ye Liuyun had already tamed that red snake for him, so he couldn't have Ye Liuyun tame another beast for him.
Lin feng zhi also suggested having Ye Liuyun help the Sixth Prince and the princess tame beasts.
But the Sixth Prince asked Ye Liuyun to tame the beasts after returning, saying he hadn't brought his own ferocious beast.
This surprised both Lin feng zhi and Ye Liuyun.
Lin feng zhi wasn't bothered; after all, he had already paid Ye Liuyun, and when the taming happens wasn't his concern, but Ye Liuyun worried that he couldn't stay here waiting forever!
"I originally planned, after this hunt, to go out for a walk right away.
In that case, I'd have to go back to the Royal City again?"
Ye Liuyun was a bit reluctant to return.
"Master Ye, rest assured, for the time I've delayed you, this prince will definitely compensate you; I won't let you take a loss!"
The Sixth Prince also spoke up.
"Alright then, once everything here is settled, I'll go with—"
Ye Liuyun had to agree.
He had already received the money, and couldn't return it to Lin feng zhi just because of this.
If that happened, Lin feng zhi and the Sixth Prince would both be stuck.
When the Sixth Prince heard Ye Liuyun would go back with him, he was clearly in a great mood.
At least it showed Ye Liuyun hadn't sided with the princess; otherwise he wouldn't proactively say he'd go back with him.
"Alright, I'll wait until Master Ye finishes, then we go back together."
He immediately answered affirmatively.
Actually Ye Liuyun was eager to leave, thinking that going with him would be faster, so he wouldn't have to return to the capital's headquarters again.
"What about the princess?"
Lin feng zhi asked the princess again.
The princess immediately lifted her arm, where a small red snake was coiled, clearly indicating she wanted Ye Liuyun to help tame that red snake.
Hong ling, on behalf of the princess, said, "The princess wishes to invite Young Master Ye to the Warship to help tame this red snake; may Master Ye step over?"
"Of course!"
Ye Liuyun also agreed.
Afterwards, several others also wanted Ye Liuyun to help tame beasts; Ye Liuyun sent a Transmission Voice to Lin feng zhi, asking him to quote prices, so those people could wait here while he first went to the princess to tame that red snake.
The princess immediately returned to the Warship, and Ye Liuyun followed right away.
After entering the Warship, Ye Liuyun followed into the princess's private cabin.
After dismissing the attendant, the princess removed her mask and asked Ye Liuyun, "How did you know it was me?"
Ye Liuyun smiled, "Look at my eyes; don't you find them special?"
"Your eyes can see through the mask?"
The princess finally understood.
"Hmm!"
Ye Liuyun nodded, acknowledging.
But he then said to Liu Yunyao, "You should change into casual clothes; this outfit is tiring to look at!"
"Alright, wait for me!"
Liu Yunyao agreed.
But she quickly realized and asked Ye Liuyun, "If your eyes can see through this mask, can't they see through clothes too?"
"Um… I haven't seen you! I usually don't use this Golden Pupil to look at people!"
Ye Liuyun immediately explained.
For a moment, the atmosphere between them was very awkward.
Liu Yunyao didn't know what to say.
"You… you… you can't also see through walls, can you?"
She asked tentatively.
"Go change quickly; I won't be looking at you!"
Ye Liuyun hurriedly said.
Liu Yunyao understood; Ye Liuyun truly could see through walls.
She, her face also flushed, returned inside, called Hong ling in, and had her help change the princess's attire.
"Eh?
Why is your face so red?"
After Hong ling came in, she still didn't know what had happened.
"It's nothing! Help me change into casual clothes!"
Liu Yunyao didn't tell her either.
But while she was changing clothes, she kept wondering whether Ye Liuyun would peek at her, so the flush on her face never faded, and she dressed much faster than usual.
Hong ling looked at her in surprise, not knowing what she was thinking.
Liu Yunyao didn't explain either; after changing, she took the red snake and left.
Ye Liuyun was also worried she'd suspect him, so he kept his eyes closed waiting for her, and only opened them when she came out.
But Liu Yunyao still instinctively used her hand to shield her body.
"You don't need to do that; I wouldn't just look at anyone!"
Ye Liuyun had no choice but to explain again.
"Oh!"
Only then did Liu Yunyao realize she was too nervous; she lowered her hand, but her face remained flushed crimson as she sat down awkwardly.
"Won't you make me tea?"
Ye Liuyun, trying to break the awkward atmosphere, had to make small talk.
"All right!"
Liu Yunyao agreed with a sound and really went to make tea for Ye Liuyun.
Hong ling happened to come out, saw this scene, and couldn't help but feel a bit dazed, thinking to herself: "The princess actually listens to him so much and even makes him tea—this person must hold considerable weight in her heart!"
She wanted to help, but felt she'd be in the way, so for a moment she didn't know what to do.
It was Liu Yunyao who noticed her, told her to go rest and not serve here, and only then was she relieved.
After Hong ling left, Liu Yunyao also found a topic to chat with Ye Liuyun.
"Is this red snake really worth five units of Primordial Power?"
Liu Yunyao asked Ye Liuyun.
"Of course! The red snake's Red Eye can not only devour Souls, replenishing Divine Soul Power onto your own Soul, but also cast illusions to control opponents, and even let you see the strength of an opponent's Soul, so in battle you can assess their Divine Soul Power in advance."
"Such a treasure can truly be described as priceless."
Ye Liuyun explained.
"Then why didn't you say so back then?"
Liu Yunyao countered.
Ye Liuyun laughed: "I'm not stupid either! If I'd said all that, more people would probably have competed with you for it."
"Then I can't take this red snake."
"Buying it was all your achievement."
"And you contributed most of the Primordial Power..." Liu Yunyao, though she really needed the Red Eye, wasn't selfish; she knew that without Ye Liuyun she could never have obtained this treasure.
"Letting you win the auction was meant to give it to you."
"I don't need its functions! One person can't concentrate all advantages onto themselves."
"If I refined this Red Eye, it would actually interfere with the effect of my Golden Pupil."
Ye Liuyun explained.
Ye Liuyun actually wasn't greedy either; he felt this was Liu Yunyao's opportunity and didn't intend to keep the red snake for himself or his people.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed these secrets; he could have thought of another way to get hold of that red snake.
