100: Chapter 100 Xuanxuan, spend as you please, I'll take care of you from now on.
With the White Elephant King, the Bai family naturally didn't fear a group of Marquises. However, as fellow aristocratic families, the complexities involved couldn't be explained in just a few words.
"Alright, the atmosphere is just right, accompany me to bed tonight."
"Pfft, you, you, you are shameless."
Bai Xuaner's face immediately turned as red as an apple. She pushed Kang Dalei away and ran straight back to her room.
Before Kang Dalei said he would marry her, she wouldn't give herself to him, even though, even though she already liked this bastard a little.
"Kang Dalei, you really have made me like you a little, but, but what is your sincerity? I don't want to be discarded by you after you've had your fun, just like last night."
Bai Xuaner leaned against the door, her cheeks still flushed, but there was a hint of mist in her eyes.
She didn't know what to do. She knew that rejecting Kang Dalei would definitely anger him, but she, she just lacked confidence in herself.
Kang Dalei was becoming more and more outstanding; he had already obtained the Purple Robe and the Marquis Token. He was destined to be a King, or even reach the Creation Realm in the future, but what about her?
At that time, she would only be able to look up to him. Would he even glance back at her then? Just like that look from that night, which couldn't have been calmer.
"Kang Dalei, I'm sorry."
Gritting her teeth, Bai Xuaner forcibly suppressed the impulse in her heart.
Just as she was preparing to go to bed, a knock at the door made her nervous again.
Fortunately, it was just Kang Dalei wanting to know about the Purple Robe and the Marquis Token, so Bai Xuaner opened the door, and the two talked all night.
The next day, as a rooster crowed, the two stopped their conversation.
"So that's how it is."
"Yes, the Purple Robe represents that you are the most powerful among the Marquises; even other Marquises must treat you with three parts courtesy. It's commonly known as the False King. And the Marquis Token is a magical treasure possessed by disciples with the most potential. It can trigger three full-strength attacks from the Creation Realm and grants the privilege to form a personal guard, commonly known as the Marquis Talisman."
"So you mean, I can now freely recruit a group of people for my own use?" Kang Dalei asked in surprise.
Bai Xuaner nodded, her eyes full of envy. This was a favor unique in the world.
"Hahaha, let's go, come with Daddy to select troops."
"Pfft, you're shameless."
Bai Xuaner rolled her eyes, but still followed behind Kang Dalei.

"It came at just the right time."
Walking to a shop, Kang Dalei suddenly stopped.
Bai Xuaner, who was following behind, didn't pay attention and bumped straight into him.
"Why did you stop?"
Kang Dalei turned his head and said with a beaming smile: "Borrow me some things."
"What?" Amidst Bai Xuaner's astonishment, Kang Dalei casually took all her accessories.
"Bastard, not that one, that's the hairpin my great-grandfather gave me for my birthday last year."
"Cut the crap, it's probably a token of love bought for you by that lover of yours."
Kang Dalei didn't believe it at all; such a beautiful hairpin couldn't possibly be something that old scumbag White Elephant King could think of.
"Kang Dalei, you can't sell them!"
"If I don't sell them, how will I have money? Without money, how can I recruit soldiers?"
"But..." Bai Xuaner wanted to say something more, but was scared back by a look from Kang Dalei.
"You, you are just a bastard, a shameless bastard." Bai Xuaner was very angry.
If she had known, she would have carried more silver with her.
But just as she was regretting not bringing more silver, a familiar face made her immediately lower her head.
"Xuanxuan, is that you?" A man in luxurious clothes ran over in a hurry, and upon seeing that it was indeed Bai Xuaner, he was overjoyed.
"Xuanxuan, it really is you."
Bai Xuaner originally didn't want to pay attention to this person, but listening to him constantly calling her Xuanxuan made her feel a surge of irritation in her heart.
"Zhang, if you call me that again, believe it or not, I'll kill you."
The man didn't care at all and said with a blissful face: "Xuanxuan, meeting you here means we are fated. If I could really die by your hands, I, Zhang Pao, would consider this life not in vain."
"Fine, then go die." Bai Xuaner couldn't be bothered to chat with him. Seeing that Kang Dalei hadn't come out yet, she was about to go in to see what was happening.
Zhang Pao saw Bai Xuaner enter the jewelry shop and assumed she wanted to buy jewelry. He immediately felt that his opportunity had come, waved at his servants, took out a stack of silver banknotes, and walked in too.
Just after entering the hall, this guy brazenly said: "Xuanxuan, I can't guarantee anything else, but in this Yuanchu City, whatever you want to buy, I, Zhang Pao, can gift it to you."
Kang Dalei, who was haggling with the shopkeeper with spit flying everywhere, suddenly heard this. His eyes lit up immediately, and he flashed over there instantly.
He put his arm around Zhang Pao's shoulder and started bluffing: "Oh, handsome, I see you have quite good taste. Are you trying to pursue Bai Xuaner? You'll have to invest some capital. You know her status, right? So, don't use those ordinary ways of picking up girls; they won't work."
"Who are you? How do you know I'm pursuing Xuaner?" Zhang Pao scanned this man, who wasn't as handsome as him, with suspicion, his face full of doubt.
However, upon hearing him say that he couldn't use ordinary ways to pursue Bai Xuaner, he became somewhat interested.
"You think I should know how to pursue Xuaner?"
"That goes without saying. Of course, it's by throwing money at her. A rich young master like you can only make her feel your love for her by throwing money."
"Really?" Zhang Pao was still half-doubting. But after glancing at Bai Xuaner, he decided to give it a try.
"Maybe it will be effective," Zhang Pao muttered to himself, then looked at Kang Dalei, who was grinning at him, and asked: "How much money do you think I should throw?"
Kang Dalei didn't hesitate and held up a thumb: "Of course, you need one hundred thousand taels. You know what her status is."
Upon hearing that it would take one hundred thousand taels, Zhang Pao immediately wilted a bit. Although his family was relatively wealthy, one hundred thousand taels all at once still made his legs tremble.
"Can it not be a little less?"
"Oh, brother, she is the beloved granddaughter of a King. Ten thousand taels is nothing. You have to know, a King! There are only seven in the entire Cangyuan World. If you win her over, won't you become the son-in-law of a King's family in the future?"
"That's true." Upon hearing that he could become the son-in-law of a King's family, Zhang Pao stopped worrying about one hundred thousand or eighty thousand taels and directly stuffed the dozens of silver banknotes in his hand into Bai Xuaner's hand.
He struck a pose he thought was quite handsome and said: "Xuanxuan, spend whatever you want, I'll support you from now on."
Bai Xuaner, who had inexplicably received a stack of silver banknotes, hadn't yet figured out what was going on when Kang Dalei's sleazy voice sounded in her ear.
"Damn, this young master is really generous with his money. He's actually willing to spend one hundred thousand taels for this young lady who doesn't look very pretty. Everyone, give him a round of applause. Let's have Young Master Zhang come up on stage and say a few words, shall we?"
As Kang Dalei's cheering sounded, everyone in the hall was stirred up by him.
Just as Zhang Pao was walking onto the jewelry shop's hall, meeting the admiring gazes of the crowd, Kang Dalei grabbed the bewildered Bai Xuaner and ran outside.
At this moment, Bai Xuaner still hadn't reacted and hurriedly asked: "What are you doing?"
"Nothing, just earning some pocket money along the way." Kang Dalei gave a perfunctory reply.
