After the death of the host: the tyrant cried red eyes

The noble King of Yan suddenly realized his financial difficulties. He thought for a moment and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. "Let the waiter bring some hot water first."

Shen Bingning sneered in her heart but did not expose him. She turned around silently, walked out with a bit of sarcasm in her steps, and called the waiter to bring another bucket of hot water.

When the hot water was ready, Shen Bingning couldn't help but soften her heart and gently reminded him, "Be careful with your wound, don't let it get wet."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and went back to her room.

She herself was covered in dust and was in desperate need of a thorough cleansing.

Just after taking off her clothes and immersing herself in the warm water, before she could catch her breath, the door was suddenly pushed open roughly. Frightened, Shen Bingning quickly hid under the water, folded her arms across her chest, and glared at the uninvited visitor angrily, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yi had a frank expression, without any intention of hiding anything. His slender fingers gently moved the water surface, and there was a hint of joking in his words, "I need someone to wipe my back for me."

Shen Bingning lowered her head and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure looming in the water due to the rippling water. She quickly curled up her legs and turned her back, "Go find the inn's waiter."

Wipe the back? If she wasn't naked at the moment, Shen Bingning really wanted to slap him hard as a punishment.

"If you don't mind, it's fine for me to bathe here."

There was a hint of threat in Xiao Yi's voice, as if he was testing her bottom line.

Has this guy been poisoned so deeply that his mind has been affected, so that he could make such an outrageous request?

Seeing Shen Bingning's hesitation, Xiao Yi actually started to untie his belt, with a hint of joking in his movements.

Shen Bingning quickly reached out to stop him, "Wait! Your Highness, please go back to your room first. I will come over to serve you after I am dressed properly."

Only then did Xiao Yi withdrew his hand with satisfaction, straightened his sleeves, raised a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, and turned away.

Shen Bingning clapped her hands in self-blame. It was all because of her momentary soft-heartedness. She should have left immediately when she found the opportunity to escape. Now she really only brought it upon herself!

Fearing that he would come back again, Shen Bingning quickly washed her body, put on her clothes, and went to Xiao Yi's room.

When I stepped into the room, I saw Xiao Yi soaking in hot water. The scars all over his body looked even more hideous in the water.

Perhaps because of carelessness when moving just now, several wounds reopened, and blood slowly flowed along the strong back, painting a shocking red in the warm water.

With such a big wound, he still wanted someone to wipe his back. Isn't he afraid of fainting from excessive blood loss?

Shen Bingning quickly wet the handkerchief, gently wiped away the blood, and carefully cleaned the stains around the wound, "Your Highness, please be patient for a moment. I will apply medicine to stop the bleeding for you first."

"Ah."

Xiao Yi responded briefly, seemingly unconcerned about the coming pain.

Although she asked him to be patient, Shen Bingning showed no mercy when treating his wounds. Faced with this prince with a bad attitude, she decided to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson so that he would not become more arrogant in the future.

After the bandage was completed, Shen Bingning stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Your Highness, I will go downstairs to find some food."

Before leaving, she stole a glance at the water surface in the mirror, but found that not much spring beauty was revealed, and she couldn't help feeling regretful.

Just as Xiao Yi got up and finished changing his clothes, An Feng walked into the room silently...

"Bixia, the waiter has been dealt with as planned."

There was a hint of coldness in An Feng's tone.

That ignorant waiter actually tried to spy on Miss Shen bathing. Bixia did not hesitate to order his eyes to be gouged out, his hands and feet broken, and then thrown into a mass grave to be left to die.

A mass grave is a place where wild beasts roam. It would be difficult for a living person to survive or die there.

"What's going on in Texas?"

Xiao Yi asked An Feng while examining his new clothes.

An Feng replied: "Lei Tianming plans to hold a birthday banquet in half a month and has invited many guests."

"This trip was originally to celebrate his birthday, so having one more person won't hurt."

Xiao Yi raised a faint smile and told An Feng, "Find a way to give her some silver secretly, don't let her know."

Downstairs, Shen Bingning wandered around the inn's kitchen for a long time, but couldn't find any ready-made meals, so she decided to cook it herself.

The only things left in the kitchen were some sauerkraut, a small amount of bean sprouts and green vegetables, and a grass carp that looked fairly fresh.

Let’s make a dish of pickled fish. Shen Bingning picked up the grass carp from the basin, and with a snap, the fish body fell heavily on the chopping board.

After about a meal's time, Shen Bingning poured boiling hot oil on the fish. Suddenly, steam rose and the aroma filled the air.

At this time, a plump woman came in and asked curiously, "What is this? Why does it smell so good?"

As she said this, she was about to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the fish, but Shen Bingning blocked her way by moving sideways.

“I cooked this myself.”

Shen Bingning smiled and said that she had not even tasted it yet.

The woman seemed unhappy, "These ingredients are still mine."

"Are you the proprietress of the inn?"

Shen Bingning keenly captured the other person's aura.

The woman put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "That's right, this shop is mine. You have to pay for using the kitchen items without permission."

Shen Bingning's eyes rolled, a plan came to her mind, and she made way with a smile, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Since you are the boss lady, go ahead and taste it."

The proprietress picked up the chopsticks and tried a bite of the fish. Her eyes lit up instantly, and then she ate several pieces in succession before praising, "Well, not bad, it tastes really good."

Shen Bingning raised her head slightly, "Of course, this is my unique skill, the only one in the world."

The proprietress put down her chopsticks and said generously: "I am willing to pay you to teach me how to cook this dish."

Shen Bingning was pleased and stretched out a finger.

The proprietress nodded with satisfaction, then took out a tael of silver from her wallet and said, "Here!"

However, Shen Bingning flicked the silver back gently, "Don't dream, one hundred taels."

"What? One hundred taels? It's just a recipe, you're going too far!"

The proprietress cried out.

Shen Bingning looked calm and nonchalant, "Whether this dish is worth a hundred taels or not, you know it very well. If it's less than a hundred taels, then we won't talk about it."

Seeing that Shen Bingning was about to leave, the proprietress quickly changed her tone, "Okay, okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels!"

She thought that if she offered this dish in her own restaurant, it would definitely attract many customers.

Shen Bingning agreed happily, "Deal! Bring me paper and pen."

After putting away the heavy one hundred taels of silver, Shen Bingning carefully prepared a serving of pickled fish and brought it to Xiao Yi's room.

"It's time to eat."

There was satisfaction and pride in her words.

Xiao Yi stared deeply at the plate of golden, steaming pickled fish on the table.
