Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 719 - 718: A Man Who Succeeds in Everything

Days passed quietly, and after seven days, Duan Rong had changed as if he were a different person. Though still slim and frail, his cheeks were tinged with a faint rosiness, the color of health, and his eyes shone with light.

Duan Rong and Lady Li knelt before Bai Xiaobai, expressing their gratitude. They had survived this ordeal.

Bai Xiaobai tossed a small vial to them, "Take one each day for a month. Not only will it counteract any remaining poison, but it will also benefit your health and strengthen your body."

Duan Rong caught it and said, "We truly have no way to repay the great kindness and favor of White Ghost Doctor. Is there anything Ghost Doctor requires?"

"What I want, you cannot give," Bai Xiaobai looked at him. "I intervened because you are people of Wufu. Remember, your life was given by her. Pledge your loyalty unto death, never to betray, and it will not be in vain that she saved you."

Wufu was sipping tea and glanced at Bai Xiaobai with a raised eyebrow upon hearing this.

Duan Rong then said, "My wife and I will never betray. If we break this oath, may our descendants be cursed by the heavens!" freēwēbηovel.c૦m

That was a promise, an oath, and moreover, a venomous curse for future generations to uphold.

"Please instruct us, my lady!" Duan Rong approached Wufu and performed a bow.

Wufu replied, "Go back first and continue your business as usual. I will come to look for you in a few days."

"Yes!"

Duan Rong bowed to Bai Xiaobai again, "Even though we are the lady’s people, White Ghost Doctor is just like a second parent to me, Duan Rong. If there is anything you need in the future, I will not refuse."

Bai Xiaobai said, "If I ordered you to kill your lady, would you also obey?"

Duan Rong’s face changed.

"Enough, just remember what you’ve said today," Bai Xiaobai waved them off.

Duan Rong and Lady Li took their leave.

Bai Xiaobai turned to Wufu and said, "I still don’t know what you want them for!"

Wufu snorted lightly, "What do you know? These two are skilled craftsmen. Duan Rong is proficient in mechanisms, Lady Li in forging, and both are versed in martial arts."

Bai Xiaobai thought for a moment and then looked intensely at her, finally saying, "I knew you were a person who always succeeds."

"That’s right! I’m not one to engage in loss-making businesses!" Wufu chuckled, saying, "Look at you, all skinny. How about I take you to our restaurant to appease your stomach and nourish you with some good alcohol? The restaurant has just come out with a great new wine."

Bai Xiaobai’s eyes lit up, "Then what are we waiting for?" With that, she took the lead and walked out.

Wufu led two maids along with Bai Xiaobai toward Suishan Restaurant.

Suishan Restaurant had opened for nearly half a month, and business was better each day, especially in the last two days, due to the introduction of a wine named Fiery Burning Knife, which attracted many patrons.

This wine, known for its potency, differed from regular drinks. Its aroma was intoxicating yet fierce; a sip felt like fire, making those with a low tolerance for alcohol drunk in just one gulp, while those who appreciated fine spirits found it wonderfully exhilarating.

Therefore, the business at Suishan Restaurant was booming. Many people came to try the new wine, and with the restaurant’s excellent food, seats were never empty, causing envy among competitors.

However, envious as they were, they dared not sabotage the business, because it was protected by the Government Office and the support of the destitute commoners. Anyone attempting mischief, if not discovered, might get away with it, but if caught, would face serious consequences.

Now, at noon, Wufu arrived to find the place fully occupied, but she always reserved a private room, so she was able to sit with Bai Xiaobai.

Bai Xiaobai, a gourmet food lover, was completely satisfied with good food and drink, and any displeasure with Wufu had long been cast to the back of her mind.

"My lady, Lord Wen has summoned you," Purple Jade came and whispered.
