A few hours passed by...
Ling'r awoke in a sumptuous bed, surrounded by opulent adornments, each decoration here was worth several thousand spirit stones.
"Ughh....M-My body... it still hurts, that demon! Ghh! He didn't bother giving me a single rest, then again, it was my own fault that led to that position," she said with a red face filled with confusion, disbelief, and even 'delight'.
Just recalling yesterday's night makes her cuddle in fear.
All night, nonstop.
It was hard for her and HARD for him, too.
Eesh! Even for a cultivator isn't this too much? Not to mention, a soul cultivator.
With that being said, she looked at the mirror, that was hung on the walls, accepting her role, she just hoped that she wouldn't get pregnant, not now, at least as she was going to face lightning tribulation soon enough.
"Huh? What is this mark on my forehead?" She asked with a surprised tone, expressing herself being alone.
The title "Money speaks" was a metaphor, in case, you didn't realize, which I believe went well with the execution of the first arc...
"money speaks" can also encompass having a rich background and the respect or influence that comes with it.
It also implies that people from wealthy families often receive deference and opportunities because of their financial status and family connections, rather than their individual merits alone.
This broader interpretation includes the social capital and respect derived from one's family wealth and background which was the case with Bai Lung.
Yeah! He played the role too by altering the people's perception of Ling Fei by the whispering and rumors he started. Then again, it was well executed not because he was Bai Lung rather he was a 'Holy Envoy, from the capital, born in a family of the chief judiciary,'
Not to mention, Bai Lung even handed a pill to Beta Fang for speaking 'Truth' in front of everyone, which generated greed in the hearts of others as each of them also spoke against Ling Fei, which also aligned with money speaks.
I don't know if you find it 'annoying' or 'useless' as I don't have a long title, then again, a word to wise is sufficient.
I hope you won't mind or get annoyed with my short and meaningful title that can align with the story rather than a long title that can describe a chapter.
Also, Trust me, I am not foreshadowing about future plots in this chapter, I am seriously not hinting that Mc may die in the future but not technically die.
And last but not least, You can donate a castle, spaceship, golden gapchon, to help me in WSA ( optional ) but, I can't promise bonus chapters.
