legs wouldn't cooperate. As soon as he got to his feet, he stumbled forward and collapsed, pain shooting through his limbs, leaving him in a cold sweat.The thought of An Xuetang being possibly dragge...An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, a careless air about her as she spoke, "Since when did my business come under your jurisdiction Do I need your approval to enter my own shop"

Her words left these people speechless. One of them even quickly turned and rushed into the shop to report the matter to the Fourth Prince.

Ding Hua's brows furrowed slightly when he heard the person cautiously reporting on those outside. He thought to himself, "Could it be An Xue Tang"

When An Xue Tang was brought in, he recognized her at once. It really was An Xue Tang.

Ding Hua frowned imperceptibly. Wasn't he supposed to have told her

This Fourth Prince is not someone to be trifled with, try to avoid showing yourself.

How did she get here

When An Xuetang entered, the Fourth Prince was sitting with his back to her. At that moment, his spine relaxed against the chair back, and his entire being exuded an ineffable confidence and arrogance.

And a snake was coiled around his hand. An Nü Tang recognized it at once as a tiger snake, a notoriously venomous serpent whose venom contained both clotting agents and neurotoxins. Tiger snakes are highly aggressive and their potent venom is the primary cause of death among snake species that inhabit this area.

I didn't expect this Fourth Prince to be able to control this snake. It seems he's not easy to deal with at all.

His thumb, adorned with a white jade ring, tapped carelessly on the table, the sound slow and languid, as if still tinged with amusement.

Ding Hua stood right in front of him, and when An Xue Tang entered, he remained expressionless.

Until An Xue Tang's voice softly rang out, "I heard that someone made a scene at my shop today And insisted on seeing me They wouldn't leave until they saw me"

At that voice, which was unclear whether male or female, Mo Yunze slowly turned his head back.

The moment Mo Yunze saw An Xuetang's appearance, he was surprised and raised his eyes. This is the mysterious owner of Cang Hai Merchant 行

To be so young

His age truly surprised Mo Yunze, but Mo Yunze still appeared unreadable on the surface.

At this moment, he was staring straight at An Xue Tang, “You are the owner of this shop”

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow slightly, "Indeed. I wonder who you are"

Mo Yunze let out a soft hum, "You need not know who I am. All I require is your agreement to hand over this trading firm to me. How about it"

"You think this is a joke, young master My entire family depends on the shop for their livelihood. You just want us to give it all up and starve How can you be so heartless!"

"Be presumptuous!" One of Mo Yunze's subordinates beside him directly scolded An Xuetang. In his view, An Xuetang's attitude towards Mo Yunze was too rude and could be dragged down and beheaded!

An Xuetang immediately darkened her face and said to Ding Hua, "Ding shopkeeper, someone is making a ruckus in the shop. Do I still need to teach you how to handle this"

Ding Hua was very capable. Without a word, he suddenly attacked the subordinate who was speaking, knocking him unconscious instantly.

Mo Yunze's people all changed color, drawing their swords and pointing them at An Xue Tang and Ding Hua.

Mo Yunze had been observing An Xue Tang. Her expression was strange, he couldn't quite put his finger on it, but there was something about her that captivated him, making him unable to look away.

Facing more than a dozen blades, An Xue Tang remained composed. She turned to Mo Yun Ze, "Sir, are we truly going to draw our swords against each other Is there no possibility of peaceful negotiation"

Mo Yunze suddenly chuckled softly, “Of course, we could also have a more perfect solution.”

"Oh Do tell, I'd love to hear."

An Xuetang sauntered over to Ding Hua's side, addressing Mo Yunze as she spoke, "Sir, why do you insist on taking Tang's small shop I see that you are full of aristocratic air all over, not an ordinary person at all. Why must you snatch the bowls of food from ordinary people like us Isn't this a bit unseemly"

"I've taken a liking to this place of yours, it's an honor. Just let me have it, naturally, you won't be short on silver."

An Xuetang let out a cold laugh, “Thank you for patronizing my humble shop, but…”

Before An Xuetang could finish her words, Mo Yunze's dangerous icy eyes narrowed slightly, his voice dropping to a dangerous growl, "However what"

A smile played on An Xuetang's lips, she seemed not to feel the oppressive aura that suddenly erupted from Mo Yunze.

“However, this gentleman is a bit too full of himself, isn't he Why do you think I would sell just because you want to buy” Even as she spoke, An Xue Tang’s expression remained composed and serene. Her speaking pace was unhurried, carrying an air of composure that was difficult to define.

Such a display piqued Mo Yunze’s interest. “So you’ve decided not to sell me the trading company”

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "You can understand it that way."

Mo Yunze pondered for a moment, then suddenly a sneer crept across his face that was anything but friendly. "You didn't see how many experts I brought Let me tell you, the people I brought here, just one of them standing up could massacre your entire shop."

An Xuetang smiled defiantly, "If this master truly wants to do this, then it means heaven is against me. What else can I do"

“You can just cut to the chase and transfer this firm to me, then we can all go our separate ways.”

After Mo Yunze said it, he felt that his proposal was quite good. It was the best solution at hand right now.

An Xuetang was met with his enigmatic smile, though his gaze held an unspoken aggression and dominance that could easily intimidate others. Yet, An Xuetang remained unaffected, her smile unwavering as she spoke calmly:

"Then I think you should just bloodbath us."

"... "

Mo Yunze seemed to be struggling, his eyebrows twitching slightly. "One hundred thousand taels."

An Xue Tang curled her lips, "Even if you offered a million taels, I wouldn't sell this business."

Mo Yunze's eyes sank, his voice cold, "Reason."

"This is ancestral property. If a person can't even protect their ancestral property, what meaning does life have"

"Hahaha" Mo Yunze suddenly laughed maniacally, "You have guts, I like it!"

"...."

An Xuetang was disgusted by his fiery gaze, thinking in her heart: "Big brother, I'm a man now, what do you like This is too heavy!"

But before An Xuetang could say anything, Mo Yunze suddenly stood up. He stretched out his hand, and the tiger snake suddenly raised its head and spat its tongue towards An Xuetang, as if it were about to attack her and Ding Hua.

Ding Hua instinctively wanted to shield An Xue Tang, but An Xue Tang stopped him with her eyes.

The tiger snake merely flicked its tongue, it did not attack An Xuetang. Seeing that she was not frightened by the snake, Mo Yunze raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly caught sight of the jade pendant at her waist, and his pupils constricted!ing'er had instructed us beforehand, saying that the Crown Princess had repeatedly warned you not to touch these things. As you know, I have the best light skills, so I left Kang'er and Shou'er behind...
