Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Won’t Give You the Chance to Tarnish a Fairy

It must be said that Huang’s team was truly miserable.

Although they did not actually end up living in a storage room under a bridge, in order to have a decent living environment, they were still forced to sign a "Debt Bond".

Simply put, this Debt Bond is akin to a usurious loan.

The production team would certainly not allow them to borrow money, so agreeing to let them have a tab with Zhuge Qingqing was entirely because they thought it would be more interesting.

After all, Zhuge Qingqing is a person of influence in Wolong Town.

As for how much Shi Yiqing and Min Zekai would be oppressed, that was not something the production team cared about.

What they wanted was just the effect of the show.

And as for problems beyond the effect of the show...

Who would care?

...

Let’s turn back time to half an hour ago.

After Zhuge Qingqing revealed the harsh reality to Min Zekai that twenty yuan was not enough for a guest house, she also offered a solution.

"I can lend you money for a hotel room, but... I have a condition."

Min Zekai was somewhat tempted, "What condition?"

Zhuge Qingqing: "You owe me money; thus, you are mine."

"This..." Min Zekai began to hesitate, unsure whether to agree to such a demand.

Zhuge Qingqing snorted, "I won’t force you to do anything. If you’re unwilling, just reject me directly; I won’t make things difficult for you."

Min Zekai looked at Shi Yiqing to ask for her opinion.

Shi Yiqing certainly did not want to live in a storage room under a bridge and was somewhat shaken.

After thinking, she asked, "If I agree, what’s in it for me?"

"Benefits, you ask..."

Zhuge Qingqing chuckled slyly, "Of course, it’s to ensure that you no longer have to roam."

"Oh, and I can also provide you with three meals a day."

Hearing this, the scales in Shi Yiqing’s heart swung once more.

However, agreeing would not only bring benefits.

If Zhuge Qingqing said this, she was certainly scheming for her own benefit.

If they accepted her favor, they would undoubtedly have to give something in return.

Shi Yiqing was reluctant to give up anything.

Even though she knew that Zhuge Qingqing wouldn’t make any overly tricky demands.

Min Zekai didn’t think as much as she did and asked directly, "What do we have to give in exchange for accepting your favor?"

Zhuge Qingqing gave him an approving look, "Not bad, you know there’s no such thing as a free lunch."

"..."

Min Zekai did not take it as a compliment.

Zhuge Qingqing did not beat around the bush and outspokenly said, "It’s not a big deal, just..."

"What?"

"I need two attendants."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yiqing was stunned.

"What did you say?" she exclaimed, her voice even turning shrill.

Zhuge Qingqing shrugged, utterly indifferent, "If you can accept it, then accept it; if not, I won’t compel you. I’ve made my condition clear, it’s up to you to agree or not."

Seeing her demeanor of not forcing a sale, Shi Yiqing felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.

Min Zekai, however, continued to inquire, "How do you want us to serve you?"

"It’s just serving tea and water, that sort of thing. Very simple," Zhuge Qingqing replied with a breezy expression.

Min Zekai was even more tempted.

Truth be told, he did not think his dignity was that precious.

Moreover, they were in the middle of filming a show.

Being made into "servants" could also be considered a highlight of the show.

He was quite open about it.

But for Shi Yiqing...

Her face was as dark as can be.

Yet she had no choice but to accept.

As the sky grew darker, if she did not agree, her only option would be to figure things out on her own.

She might even end up spending the night on the streets, which was not something she desired.

...

Even though Shi Yiqing felt incredibly aggrieved, she eventually accepted the conditions Zhuge Qingqing had offered.

Just one point.

She made a request, she only agreed to serve Zhuge Qingqing herself and was unwilling to be at the beck and call of others.

This "others," naturally, referred specifically to Shi Yaoguang.

Zhuge Qingqing didn’t take it seriously, "Don’t worry, I won’t give you the chance to defile Sister Fairy."

Shi Yiqing: "..."

Feeling the disdain in Zhuge Qingqing’s words, her face burned with embarrassment.

Her dissatisfaction with Zhuge Qingqing grew stronger in her heart.

Yet, Zhuge Qingqing had temporarily become her benefactor for food and clothing, you can imagine how stifled she felt inside.

No matter how aggrieved, she had no other choice but to suppress these resentments for now.

...

After dinner, Zhuge Qingqing brazenly arranged for adjoining suites with Shi Yaoguang.

Before going to sleep, she once again shamelessly visited Shi Yaoguang’s room, chattering away.

"I find Shi Yiqing a very odd person, what do you think, Sister Fairy?"

Shi Yaoguang glanced at her, "Stop calling me Sister Fairy."

Though she practiced cultivation and could technically be called a "fairy,"

But...

The title had a seemingly embarrassing, childish ring to it.

Especially when Zhuge Qingqing looked at her with shimmering eyes, the feeling was even more intense.

Zhuge Qingqing did not accept Shi Yaoguang’s suggestion.

She said quite naturally, "There’s nothing wrong with that title, you are indeed Sister Fairy after all."

Shi Yaoguang noticed that she was very serious when she said this.

That meant...

She truly believed it and was not just flattering.

There were two possibilities.

Firstly, Zhuge Qingqing had truly noticed something.

Secondly, she was so fixated on looks that it bordered on pathology.

As for which it was, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t determine at the moment.

"Qingqing, you said before that Shi Yiqing was ugly, how did you come to that conclusion?"

By normal standards, Shi Yiqing might not compare to her, but she definitely wasn’t ugly.

Shi Yaoguang really couldn’t grasp Zhuge Qingqing’s point of view.

Confronted with this question, Zhuge Qingqing let out a heavy sigh, all seriousness.

"That’s a long story, but..."

She paused, looking as if there was more she wanted to say but hesitated.

Shi Yaoguang looked at her, "But what?"

Zhuge Qingqing bit her lip, "Do you really want to know?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "Since I asked, of course I want to know."

Hearing this, Zhuge Qingqing did not hold back and straightforwardly shared her criteria.

"I think I can see through people’s hearts."

After Zhuge Qingqing finished, she showed a tragic expression.

Shi Yaoguang blinked, waiting for her to continue.

Zhuge Qingqing was also waiting for her reaction.

After a few seconds, seeing that Shi Yaoguang didn’t respond, she was somewhat surprised.

"Don’t you doubt what I said?"

Shi Yaoguang countered, "Do I need to doubt it?"

Zhuge Qingqing decisively shook her head and chuckled foolishly, "I was mistaken earlier, Sister Fairy is not like ordinary people."

With that, she resumed sighing, "This goes back to my childhood."
