Chapter 6 Bride Price

Her crisp voice rang at his ears. Eyes on fire, Xu Tianan gritted, “I only agreed that the first round’s stake is a finger. I did not specify what the stakes for the last 4 rounds were. Who allowed you to make that decision?”
This sickly little bitch seems to be quite skilled. He daren’t confront her head-on. But since she had cut off five of his fingers, he will cut four of hers in compensation.
Murong Xue glanced at him, “After the first dog died, you didn’t say a single word before letting out another four. Isn’t that a continuation of the gamble from the first round? If you had prepared to change the stakes, why didn’t you say anything? Now that the five rounds are over, you claim that that it is unfair? Don’t you think that that’s too shameless?”
“You!” Xu Tianan choked. At that time, he had only thought of killing that weak little dog to save his finger. He didn’t think that far!
“If you want to gamble, then you must be prepared to lose. There are so many people in this colosseum watching. Our gamble is definitely fair. Even if you want to fight in the Dali Temple court, I have no qualms. If you are not resigned, and prepared to find someone to teach me a lesson, that’s fine. I’ll be at the Marquis’ Mansion waiting for your arrival anytime!”
The dogs in the colosseum are for the guests’ enjoyment. After buying them, the dogs become the guests’ private property. Whether dead or alive, the guests can take it with them.
Maid Hongxiu followed closely behind Murong Xue, calmly walking out.
Murong Ye raised his eyebrows and glanced at the bloodied Xu Tianan, who was filled with anger and unwillingness to admit defeat, and hurriedly followed after, “Sister, wait for me!”
In second floor suite of the colosseum sat two men who had watched the entire scene play out in front of them.
“She made the Capital’s playboy so miserable just by casually picking a dog. This Murong Young Mistress is quite amazing,” the man in tan robes tutted his praise, full of amazement. He glanced toward the man in white robes next to him and said, smiling, “What does your lordship think?”
The man in white robes’ jade-like fingers lightly caressed the white marble wine cup, his eyes lightly lowered, and did not say a word.
The man in tan robes did not mind and continued talking to himself, “Also, the way she had snatched the dagger and that move to cut off the fingers – it’s so smooth and quick that it’s unbelievable. She must have inherited that from the first Marquis. And the rumors in the Capital actually spread that she is a helpless, useless and weak young lady, how hilarious!”
The man in white raised his eyes and looked towards Murong Xue’s dedicate silhouette slowly walking further and further away; his obsidian eyes flashed something incomprehensible.
The colosseum and the Marquis’ Mansion was not far. After walking out of the front doors, Murong Xue did not return to the horse carriage, but walked the small dog and slowly travelled, leisurely admiring the olden beauty of the streets and infrastructure.
Murong Xue followed closely behind her, smiling ingratiatingly, “Sister, how did you know that this small weak dog is so powerful?”
After fighting dogs for so many years, he can be considered to have developed a pair of expert eyes when it comes to examining dogs, but when it came to this small dog, he had looked at it from left to right, top to bottom, and still couldn’t figure out how to tell that it is such a powerful dog.
“Because it is not a normal dog, but a Tibetan mastiff!” Murong Xue calmly explained. Tibetan mastiffs have are resolute and are good at attacking; normal dogs are totally not their match.
Tibetan mastiff? What kind of dog is that?
Murong Xue often fought dogs and had developed an understanding of the types of dogs, but it was his first time hearing about Tibetan mastiffs. He had wracked his brain yet he had not been unable to figure out anything about it. However, this did not prevent him from developing a love for this dog, “Sister, can you give me this Tibetan mastiff? I’ll exchange it with 5000 taels, no, 10,000 taels.”
Murong Xue turned her head towards Murong Ye only to see him wearing a bamboo-embroidered dark blue robe, dark hair tied up using a marble crown revealing a smooth forehead. His handsome face was slightly innocent, skin white, lips red, and black-marble-like eyes shining; a really beautiful young man.
But when she thought of how this young man is actually famous in the Capital for being a playboy; playing with horses and birds, and not willing to learn, she said, “I don’t like money.”
Uh, that’s right. His sister lives in the Mansion where food, clothes, accommodation and materials have all been taken care of. She also doesn’t go out of the Mansion easily, and thus does not have many opportunities to spend. It is quite inappropriate for him to exchange money for the Tibetan mastiff.
“Then what about giving you a few suits of
