Chapter 118:


    “The third great beauty is your cousin, Li Yuewen.” Li Mingyuughed, ignoring Li Yuewen’s warning gaze.


    “*Splurt*...” ire spit out the flower tea ungracefully. Sitting across from her, Walter waspletely drenched. Next to him, Summer and Qiao Chuxin were also sprayed a little. Walter turned gloomy but didn’t dare to retort.


    “Damn brat, what’s with that attitude?” Seeing what ire had done, Li Yuewen turned crazy, about to attack ire.


    “Haha, my bad, my bad alright? Great beauty cousin Yuewen....” ire begged for mercy whileughing. “Then, great beauty cousin Yuewen, are you going that day too?”


    “No.” Li Yuewen humphed coldly. “We don’t have money to donate, in any case.”


    “That’s right. Nowadays, out of the three great beauties, Shui Xinmei has already been married into the Feng n whereas your cousin, Yuewen, rarely appears in public, so currently, Hua Xiuning is taking the spotlight,” Li Mingyu said with a low voice, his gazeplex.


    ire understood Li Mingyu’s feelings. The Li n was declining every day, its glory gone.


    “Hua Xiuning has the spotlight?” ire stroked her chin, deep in thought.


    “Right. Think about it. That day, that woman will take the spotlight again, meaning the Hua n will also take the spotlight.” Li Yuewen humphed coldly. The Hua n and Li n had always been rivals. Just thinking about it made Li Yuewen unpleased.


    “Cousin Yuewen, don’t be so angry.” ireughed, her eyes turning to slits.


    “Damn brat, what you thinking? How am I angry?” Li Yuewen grumbled.


    “I’m thinking of...” A strange smile appeared at her lips. “Taking the spotlight!”


    “Take the spotlight? How?” Li Yuewen looked at ire, baffled.


    “Cousin Yuewen, you will attend the convention this time and not only that, you will bring someone with you! We also need to bring outstanding treasure,” ire said solemnly.


    “Bring someone? And since when did we have any treasure?” Li Yuewen looked at ire with confusion, not understanding what exactly ire was nning.


    A sly smile appeared at her lips. ire turned to the currently eating happily Dong Fenghou and said, “Don’t you think Dong Fenghou is pretty?”


    Everybody’s gazes were drawn toe Dong Fenghou. Dong Fenghou currently had no ss at all, currently stuffing his mouth with food, his mouth wide open. Dong Fenghou was enchantingly beautiful, but currently, he had no connection with beauty. Crumbs at the corners of his mouth, oil all over his hands! Dong Fenghou suddenly sensed that something was off, looking up to see that everybody’s gaze was directed at him.


    “What?” Dong Fenghou mumbled. Although he was slow, he was still able to sense that there was something unusual with ire’s gaze.


    “No, he’s too stupid and his words are unclear. Even if he was disguised as a beauty, he wouldn’t be able to act as one.” Camille saw through ire’s n and refuted it.


    Ah?! Everybody suddenly understood what exactly ire was nning on doing. If Dong Fenghou was dressed as a girl then he would be devastatingly beautiful! Saying that thousands would fall for him wouldn’t be an exaggeration. If he appeared in the convention like that, then he would definitely attract everybody’s gaze. But Dong Fenghou only knew how to eat. What else could he do? Everything would be ruined the moment he opened his mouth.


    “That’s true.” ire stroked her chin, nodding a bit unwillingly. She almost forgot that the charming, devastatingly beautiful youth was like a pig. There was no way he could attend!


    ire’s gaze shifted to Summer and Qiao Chuxin, but rejected the idea. These two little girls, their appearances were both delicate and innocent, not capable of seducing anyone. Walter? Leng Lingyun? Jean? ire automatically rejected them all. These people would prefer dying before crossdressing.*TL: nuuuu


    Then what should they do? ire was conflicted. The best candidate, Dong Fenghou, wouldn’t work. Then who else would work?


    “Are you trying to find someone even more beautiful than Huo Xiuning? That won’t be easy. Huo Xiuning is truly beautiful.” Li Yuewen walked through the loopholes of ire’s n. “Hua Xiuning has a very high goal. She has always been aiming for the crown prince in order to be the crown princess and in the future, the empress, so she’s always been searching for chances to meet the crown prince.”


    “But she hasn’t seeded?” ire smiled coldly.


    “How did you know?” Li Yuewen asked, a bit surprised. “The crown prince has never dered anything.”


    “If she seeded, then you wouldn’t have such a tone,” ire teased, raising a brow.


    “Damn brat, you dare to mess around with me?” Li Yuewen was finally able to sense the hidden meaning of ire’s words.


    “Actually, there is a suitable candidate.” Camille stared at ire, smiling.


    Everybody else’s gaze shifted to ire. ire frowned, a bit displeased. “Really now, do you really think my petite frame can beat those seductive and mature women?”


    “Beauty potion,” Leng Lingyun suddenly said, then continued on eating breakfast with his head down low. Everybody looked at him. His facial expression didn’t change,pletely calm and tranquil as he drank juice, as if the person who just spoke wasn’t him.


    “Right, beauty potion. Heh heh, ire, even with your petite frame, you can be a curvy beauty... ahhh!” Before Walter finished his words, he had already fallen out of his chair, crying out miserably. ire threw a piece of bread at him, but it wasn’t as simple as that; she even used a bit of Dou Qi. How could a weak Dark magician contend with such strength? And so he tumbled brilliantly onto the ground with this blow.


    ire sent a murderous gaze, as if saying ‘serves you right. But when she turned, she saw everybody eyeing her.


    “I’m telling you right now, don’t even think about it. I won’t agree.” ire stood up, about to leave.


    “Come on ire~~ Are you just going to cold-heartedly watch are Li n fall? Are you going to just watch on as your mother’s rtives are in dire straits?” Li Yuewen pulled ire by the arm, her tone almost sickeningly gentle. She gazed profoundly at ire, eyes glittering.


    ire felt goosebumps rise. She pulled back her arm, her lips trembling in disgust. “Elder cousin Yuewen, has anyone ever told you that that tone and gaze does not suit you at all?”


    “You’re looking for a beating!” Li Yuewen immediately turned to back true self, bing angry.


    ire sat down and continued “Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. First, let’s settle the matter of treasure.”


    “How would we have treasure?” Li Yuewen frowned. The only things they had of worth were the magic beast cores that ire had given, but she had been nning on selling them to repair the main hall ire had wrecked and save the rest forter.


    “Ben.” Suddenly, ire called out Ben’s name, who had had been sitting quietly.


    “What?” Ben asked nkly, looking up at ire.


    “Don’t all dragons love treasure?” ire asked Ben. Although she was asking, her tone was not so much as questioning as resolute.


    “No.” Ben denied immediately, but the flicker in his eyes gave him away.


    This kid! ire bit her lip. It seems he had learned quite a bit from her, but not enough. When he lied, his gaze flickered. She had heard long ago that dragons had such a hobby, collecting treasures, all rare and valuable. It seems it was true.


    “You don’t? As the venerable prince of dragons, you don’t even have a decent treasure trove?” ire sighed, her tone pitiful. “Your life sure has been tragic. You must be the poorest of all dragons.”


    Everyone else kept quiet. Li Yuewen stared rigidly at ire. Would anyone fall for such simple goading? Impossible?!


    “Nonsense! My treasures are the most valuable of all!” Ben yelled, standing up emotionally.


    After he said this, the dining room fell silent. They all stared at Ben. Li Yuewen’s jaw dropped to the ground, staring incredulously at Ben. It couldn’t be? Someone would actually fall for such simple goading?! This stupid dragon!


    Summer shrugged, as if this was to be expected. This uncultured dragon, not only was he rude, he was stupid to the point of insanity. So this waspletely expected.


    Ben noticed the crafty glint in ire’s eyes and suddenly felt an urge to cry. ire, that fellow, truly was the craftiest. Like Walter said, how could she be human? She was a little devil? His treasure, all of his treasure! He couldn’t let them allnd in her hands!


    “Don’t think that getting a few is enough.” ire’s next words shattered Ben’s hope. “What do you need treasure more? You can’t eat it and it can’t bring you joy, status, increase your strength or fulfill your wishes. Ben, just listen to me, they’re worth as much as clouds.”


    Ben turned glum. He knew all that, but gathering treasure was a dragon’s second nature, yet she wanted to rob him of all the treasure he had spent his life on gathering with just one sentence! But in his heart, Ben made a decision. Yes, just as ire said, the treasure couldn’t benefit him. But when the days he had spent with ire, he had experienced everything. The feeling he had with ire and everybody was very good, very warm. And when he was protecting someone else, he also felt a sense of satisfaction. He had never known the helping someone would bring such happiness. When ire was blocking before him, he discovered that the feeling of being cared by others was so warm, so moving. He had never experienced these before. He hoped such feelings would continue forever. Plus, he had a strange feeling towards the skimpy little thief girl. Every time he saw her, he wanted to tease her. What was this feeling?


    “Then that’s settled. We’ll wait for you toe back with all your treasure,” ire smiled widely, sealing the deal. How could she know Ben’s feelings right now? She was focused on extortion.
