This was the first time Vermilion Bird held a woman like this. Xue Lingling nestled in his arms, rubbing herself against his clothes.
Vermilion Bird nearly threw her off completely.
He snapped, "Xue Lingling, I'm warning you: if you dare throw up on me, I won't let you off the hook!"
His stern warning had absolutely no effect. Xue Lingling began smacking Vermilion Bird's chest vigorously as she said, "Don't be so petty! I'll repay you with silver… My father has loads and loads of silver. I can take care of you!"
Vermilion Bird furrowed his brows and retorted, "Are you really a woman? Your strength is ridiculous!"
Xue Lingling giggled, "Vermilion Bird, even though you rank third in my heart, you're still the one I find most agreeable… I'll reluctantly make you my attendant!"
Vermilion Bird asked impatiently, "Who's first and second then?"
He was purely curious, with no ulterior motives.
