Rong Jialuo was tired of standing. He blinked and glanced at a few people. He walked to the table and sat down with a sad look. They were all sitting, leaving him standing. He was not a prisoner.

He didn't care what others thought of him. He ran out of Ningxiang Pavilion without having a full meal or a sip of water.

Ruan Xiaojiu didn't care. She poured him a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him. "Think about it slowly. Just tell me before the Pavilion Master comes."

Rong Jialuo couldn't understand what Ruan Xiaojiu meant. She took a sip of tea and looked at Ruan Siqi and Ye Tingshen, hoping to see something in their eyes.

Ruan Siqi looked helpless, not knowing what Ruan Xiaojiu was thinking by keeping this man.

Ye Tingshen's face looked very unhappy. He didn't know much about Rong Jialuo. He only knew that he was a famous handsome man in Mingyue Country who was unrestrained but not interested in women. He was very chaste and had never had a woman around him in his life. It was not surprising that Ruan Xiaojiu liked him with his looks. It would be strange if Ruan Xiaojiu didn't like him.

Suddenly, a gurgling sound reached everyone's ears, and everyone looked at Rong Jialuo. Rong Jialuo covered his stomach, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I haven't eaten for two days. This is not my fault."

Ruan Xiaojiu and the others were already hungry. If it weren't for the accident with Rong Jialuo, they would have eaten and drunk their fill and lay down in the room to rest.

Xiao Zeming hasn't woken up yet, so no one can leave. It's too unsafe here, and they're worried about leaving him, an unconscious person, alone in the room.

Ruan Siqi stood up and called the waiter over. The waiter came running over. Ruan Siqi asked, "How are the dishes we just ordered? Are they ready?"

"It's been ready for a while. Would you like the dish to be served now?" asked the waiter.

"Come up!"

"It's just..." the waiter paused and said, "The food is a little cold. If you're not in a hurry, we need to heat it up before serving it."

Ruan Siqi nodded, "Okay!"

"Okay." The shop assistant ran away excitedly.

The waiters originally didn't like these people, so they naturally served the dishes to those who looked tough first. But when Ruan Xiaojiu and his friends just appeared outside the door, many people in the restaurant saw it and exclaimed how amazing they were.

The shop assistants saw it as well, so they naturally didn't dare to neglect it. Even if the dishes were cold, they didn't dare to give them to others, so they had to put them aside.

This would allow him to serve the dish, and he just felt that he was too prescient.

Ruan Siqi looked at the shop assistant's back as he left and was very confused about his attitude. Why did this shop assistant seem like a different person? However, it was still a good feeling to be respected and valued.

Soon, the dishes were served. Ruan Siqi and Ye Tingshen were no longer surprised by Ruan Xiaojiu's eating habits, but Rong Jialuo, the prince of Mingyue Kingdom, was drooling at the sight of her. He couldn't help but think to himself: How could such a lovely and lively woman eat even more unrestrainedly than a man like him? It really opened his eyes.

When he lowered his head, there were only leftovers on the table. If he had been reserved, the food on the table would have been gone.

He didn't care about being elegant. He had been hungry for two days and started eating with big mouthfuls. A quarter of an hour later, the table was empty. Rong Jialuo wiped his mouth and felt satisfied.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Ruan Xiaojiu leaned back in his chair, squinting his eyes comfortably. Ruan Xiaojiu felt sleepy after eating, which was his current state.

Ruan Siqi still had many questions for Rong Jialuo, "What's the matter with your pearl? You said it was your heirloom. You are a prince, so could it be that the pearl was passed down from the old emperor of your Mingyue Kingdom?"

"Of course not. The bead was left to my mother by her grandmother. My mother gave it to me and told me not to lose it. But I didn't expect that the bead would find its way into your guard's body."

"Will this bead cause any harm to the human body if it enters the body?" Ruan Siqi was still a little worried and asked this question.

"I don't know! By the way, is there anything special about your guard's body? I heard from my mother that when our family first got this bead, we found a red blood line inside that could flow all the time.

Later, a Taoist master was found to detect the bead and estimate its age. It is hard to say what kind of bead it is, but it is believed that it has existed for at least a thousand years.

It has been passed down in our family for nearly two hundred years, and I've never heard of it entering anyone's body. Such a thing has never happened. If anything happens, he can only rely on his own luck."

Ye Tingshen had been listening quietly nearby when he suddenly interrupted, "I heard from my grandfather that the Hu family of Mingyue Country possessed a divine blood bead. It was discovered by chance by the Hu family, and everyone knew it was a valuable asset, but no one could fathom its secrets. So it's been passed down through the generations, waiting for the right people to unlock its power. It seems to be true."

Rong Jialuo looked at Ye Tingshen in shock. "How do you know so much about my mother's family? I can tell you're not ordinary people. Who are you, sir? Where do you come from?"

"It doesn't matter who we are, but the person who is destined to receive the bead from your family doesn't seem to have any connection with you or your mother's family," said Ye Tingshen.

Rong Jialuo sighed, "I've lost the jade bead now, and I don't know how to explain it to my mother when I go back."

"Are you willing to let your precious jade beads become someone else's?" Ruan Siqi asked.

"Of course I'm reluctant, but if you allow me, would you object if I kill someone to get the pearl?"

Ruan Siqi looked at him with sinister eyes without saying anything.

"I can give you money, any amount is fine. After all, he is just a guard. He should not be very important to you!" Rong Jialuo said weakly.
