After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"...You weren't planning this from the beginning, were you? I feel like you're a bit like those aunties at the market, always complaining about how bad things are, but actually just trying to get a better price?"

Ye Bai typed out a long message and sent it, thoroughly provoked.

He felt that the other party's tactics were too similar to those of some "unscrupulous buyers".

Senior Daoist: ...Brother, you've misunderstood. I genuinely wanted to help you. Since you're not a member of the Xuanmen sect, keeping that thing in the hands of an ordinary person like you is like a time bomb. It's better to exchange it for some money.

In a high-end apartment in Jingzhou, a sophisticated woman exuding an air of intellectual refinement couldn't help but push up her black-rimmed glasses after uttering those words. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Being described as a middle-aged woman at the market is certainly not a compliment.

But she really didn't intend to use this fault-finding tactic to bargain; the other party had clearly misunderstood.

So, in order to prove herself, she sent another message before the other party could reply.

Experienced Daoist: You can name your price, I'm not short of money.

"...Turns out this guy's a tycoon!"

Ye Bai smacked his lips, a strange light flashing in his eyes, and typed out a line of text.

He's indifferent to women: Then I want a million!

Experienced Daoist: ...Deal!

Almost instantly.

Seeing this, Ye Bai was finally somewhat surprised.

He asked for one million, entirely out of mischief, as revenge for the "market auntie's" malicious haggling.

Unexpectedly, the other party agreed without even blinking.

This guy is really not short of money, and he even said that the Black Fish Bagua Mirror is indeed a priceless treasure.

Ye Bai couldn't figure it out for the time being, but fortunately, he didn't need to waste his brain cells on it.

Because he never intended to sell it.

He was also curious, especially since the black fish Bagua pattern didn't look like anything legitimate, which made him even more intrigued.

Moreover, even if they really wanted to sell, they could only sell to Queen Qin.

Even if you gave this experienced fellow Daoist a million, or even a hundred billion, he wouldn't be able to spend it; it would be completely useless.

So, Ye Bai thought for a moment and sent another message.

Not interested in women: Sorry, I don't want to sell myself anymore.

Veteran Daoist: ...Why? You think the money is too little? I can add more.

Not interested in women: Actually, you don't know, I have always regarded money as dirt, you can tell from my name.

Senior fellow practitioner: ...Have you never studied psychology?

Ye Bai was completely bewildered, not understanding how the conversation had escalated to the realm of psychology.

So all he could reply was: What do you mean?

A seasoned fellow practitioner said: According to psychology, people tend to talk about what they lack most, and they might even change it to their online name, as if afraid the whole world wouldn't know.

Experienced fellow Daoist: You're a very obvious example. You keep saying you see money as dirt, but in reality, money is probably what you love most. And your name suggests you're not interested in women, but in my experience, the more someone pretends to be pure, the more likely they are to be a scumbag. So either you've suffered immense emotional trauma, or you're inherently a scumbag...

"Just chatting, why are you swearing at me!"

Looking at the two long messages sent by the other party, Ye Bai's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

After this guy's analysis, it turns out that when Queen Qin always scolded him for being greedy and lustful, she wasn't actually slandering him, but just telling the truth.

This is absolutely impossible to talk to today!

So Ye Bai simply silenced his phone and tossed it aside, then went to sleep.

Although he really wanted to find out the secret of the Black Fish Bagua Diagram from the other party, he knew that such things couldn't be rushed.

Of course, most importantly, he has always been a person who follows his heart.

Since this person's way of speaking is so annoying, let's just stop talking for now.

Veteran Daoist: Where is he?

Senior fellow Daoist: ...Are you angry?

She sent two messages, but they seemed to disappear into thin air. The sophisticated woman stared blankly at her phone, completely dumbfounded.

Are all the men in this generation so stingy?

Getting angry just because someone says you like money and women? Is this a case of being embarrassed and angry because your secret has been exposed?

……

Ye Bai, of course, had no idea of ​​the other party's inner thoughts, and slept quite soundly.

I got up early the next day, washed up, exercised for a while, and then went back to my room to look at my phone.

After seeing the two messages from the senior fellow Daoist, he didn't bother to reply.

Since the other party really wants to get their hands on the black fish Bagua mirror, it means that the initiative is already in his hands.

It's really necessary to let this guy who speaks so rudely cool off for a while.

"I drank too much yesterday, you didn't take advantage of me, did you?"

At this moment, Qin Wanqing had finished washing up and looked at Ye Bai with a suspicious expression, asking him a question.

"...Do you think I'm that lecherous?"

Ye Bai was speechless, feeling the world's malice more and more.

"Nonsense! If a scumbag like you isn't a womanizer, do you think I am? Wait... you just asked 'you guys'? Who else said that about you?"

Qin Wanqing first gave a disdainful snort, then her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she became alert.

She suddenly had a premonition that this scumbag was probably secretly cheating on her again!

"...No, you misheard!"

Ye Bai quickly shook his head in denial.

Although he had no guilty conscience, Queen Qin was always unreasonable.

"Heh, it'd better not be, otherwise you're dead!"

Qin Wanqing nodded with a cold smile, but did not ask any further questions.

"Brother Ye Bai, I want to go to the amusement park..."

After finishing breakfast, Little Peach looked up at Ye Bai with a pitiful expression and tugged at his pants.

"No problem, your brother will take you there in a bit."

Ye Bai picked up the little girl and said with a smile.

Qin Shengtu is busy with work and usually doesn't have time to visit Xiaotaozi.

Qu Yunting is clearly a restless woman who has basically never taken care of her daughter.

This meant that the girl, who was originally born into a wealthy family, was inferior to children from ordinary families in many ways.

Going to amusement parks is a luxury.

Ye Bai has always been soft-hearted towards children and small animals, and he can't stand this.

"Brother Ye Bai is the best!"

Little Peach cheered and gave Ye Bai a big kiss on the cheek, then looked at Qin Wanqing with hopeful eyes and asked, "Sister, can you come too?"

Children her age love being in a lively atmosphere, especially when their parents are around.

Unfortunately, Little Peach has basically never experienced this since she can remember.

During this time spent with Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing, the little girl has clearly come to regard her older brother and sister as, in a sense, substitutes for her parents.

"Okay, then I'll take half a day off and take you to the amusement park for a morning."

Qin Wanqing thought about it and did not refuse. Although she was very busy with work, she really couldn't bear to refuse a five-year-old child's request.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Ye Bai suddenly kept glancing at Qin Wanqing, and made strange noises.

"...You surnamed Ye, are you asking for trouble again?"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes. Although she didn't know what Ye Bai was up to for no reason, based on her understanding of him, she was sure he was up to something again.

"I suddenly realize you're quite maternal. Why didn't you have one of your own before? At your age, if you had married earlier, your child would be older than Xiao Taozi..."

Ye Bai said with a sigh.

"Ye Bai, you bastard! You think I'm old just like Ye Ruyan, and you look down on me because I'm a haggard old woman, don't you?"

Before Ye Bai could finish speaking, Queen Qin broke down instantly and completely lost her temper.
