Chapter 1578: Let The Extortion Get A Bit Fiercer (1)

"Hehe... he..." Qu Rui sat in the main hall with a stupid look on his face, laughing foolishly, and he looked to be at a loss.

A bottle of potion, and Qu Rui was reduced to this appearance.

He truly became a fool.

"Take Young Master Qu to rest." Shen Yanxiao hooked up the corner of her lips and then returned to her position. She looked at Qu Rui, who had become a fool, as he was dragged away, and her eyes flashed with a bad smile.

Previously, she was too gentle. For this idiot, who already hated her to the bones, there was absolutely no need to stay.

From now on, those who would submit to her would prosper, and those who would oppose her would perish.

Witnessing the whole process of how Shen Yanxiao turned Qu Rui into a fool with just a single bottle of potion, everyone in the main hall secretly swallowed their saliva. They warned themselves that they must be careful and by all means not provoke such a demon. Otherwise, they might fall to the same end as Qu Rui.

No matter how strong the king's heart was, he could not quickly ease the shock in his eyes. Seeing that Shen Yanxiao had already taken care of Qu Rui, he hastily said, "Thank you Lord Shen for your help. Lord Shen is truly very kind!"

Lan Fengli, on the sidelines, had his eyes and head lowered. Hearing the king's flattery which was a million miles apart from the truth, he slightly lifted his eyelids.

Shen Yanxiao said very cooperatively, "It's a small matter. Although the potion has cost me a lot of gold coins, if I can cure the Young Master Qu, it is also a good thing."

The king's heart jumped. If he didn't understand... what she was implying, then he was an idiot!

"This Qu Rui is the person of my Lan Yue Dynasty, how can we make others spend their money for him? The amount of gold coins for this medicine, I'll have it delivered later." Cunning! Too cunning! The king really felt beaten until his teeth fell off and he swallowed a mouthful of blood. Just now, he was still clapping his hands and applauding while watching Qu Rui being taught a lesson by Shen Yanxiao. Now, he actually had to pay money for him.

Was it foolish of him to spend money for the medicine of his own people?

No matter what, the king was about to cry.

"Since His Majesty is so kind, I will not refuse." Shen Yanxiao smiled like a little fox.

"That potion was prepared by Master Ye Qing personally and used hundreds of kinds of medicinal herbs. I originally intended to send it to the auction house." Shen Yanxiao restrained her cunning smiling expression and said with a calm face.

The king suddenly had a bad feeling.

Master Ye Qing...

Hundreds of medicinal herbs...

Auction house...

He felt that the price of Shen Yanxiao's potion was definitely not cheap.

"It turned out to be the work of Master Ye Qing; it is indeed a rare item." The king put on a fake smile and said.

"I will not ask much from you. I originally planned to have this potion a starting price of 800,000 gold coins. Now, Your Majesty doesn't need to give more. Just pay the starting price of 800,000 gold coins." Shen Yanxiao had an, 'I am very generous, I won't increase the price for you,' expression while she said this, full of righteousness.

The king's face was already blue.

Eight hundred thousand...

Did you make a mistake there?!!

Even if it was a potion made by Ye Qing personally, that price was just too outrageous! That was clearly just a negative potion, not a booster potion!

The price you were asking was just too much, all right!

The king's face was filled with protest but just as he wanted to open his mouth to counter-offer, he saw the coldness flashing in Shen Yanxiao's eyes and instantly threw away the idea of a counter-offer.

"Well, I'll immediately let people prepare the money." The king swallowed the blood that rushed to his throat as he tried to display an appearance filled with warmth.

If you cannot bear to use your child as bait, then you will never catch the wolf; if you cannot bear to use your wife as bait, then you will never catch the pervert![1]

[1] Basically saying that, if one can't sacrifice something dear to them then they will never attain anything. So like, if he can't bear to sacrifice his money, he can't please SYX.
