The Little Husband Who Became the Ghost-Faced King

At this point, Xiji's eyes lit up, and he said brightly: I plan to sell it, especially to those dignitaries.

The Night King looked at Xiji, who had changed from being cautious just now to now having bright eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously. He found that Xiji had become a money-grubber without him noticing.

Just looking at Xiji's face, which was shining with anticipation, the Night King could not say anything else. He looked at him casually and asked: How are you going to sell it?

Hearing this, Xiji was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Wang and said uncertainly: Open a store?

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Night King still looking at him expressionlessly, but with a hint of disapproval in his eyes. How should he set the prices after opening the store, and how should he get others to buy?

Hearing the Night King's question, Xiji felt that he was a little too fanciful. After all, opening a store was not something that could be done just by talking. Things like pens, ink, and paper were not food, and you could just set a price for them. This thing was unique now. If you set the price too high, no one would be able to afford it. If you set the price too low, it would be a waste. He hadn't even thought about who to hire, or how to sell it later.

In modern times, he only needs to study the food he likes. As for other matters, there will naturally be someone to handle them. This is the first time for Xiji to open a store. The last time he sold hot and sour noodles does not count. Thinking of this, Xiji began to worry, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Ye Wang, with a sense of dependence that he himself had not noticed.

The Night King received Xiji's pitiful look and was about to give him some advice, but then he remembered what he had just said to deceive him. He knew that Xiji had not told him the truth, so he immediately thought that he should teach this little liar a lesson. So, he did not say anything, but said coldly: Go down and think about it carefully, and come back to me when you have thought it through.

Oh, all right. Seeing that the Night King did not solve the problem for him as usual, Xiji was a little disappointed, but he was relieved the next moment. Anyway, it was not a big deal, he could solve it himself, so he should figure out what to do now.

Having made up his mind, Xiji stopped worrying about it and instead began to think with great enthusiasm about how to open a store.

The Night King looked at Xiji, whose emotions were fluctuating greatly, his eyes darkened, and then said: If nothing happens, you can go down and rest first!

Xiji was stunned again when he heard this. Looking at the cold look on Ye Wang's face, he didn't stay any longer and prepared to go back with Lu Yin and the others. But before leaving, he thought of something again, turned around and looked at Ye Wang and said: My lord, I asked the workshop to send some paper and pens directly to me. Should I send them directly to the housekeeper?

Ye Wang nodded and said indifferently: I will tell the butler, but this thing may need to be handled by Mr. Guo.

After hearing what the Night King said, Xiji felt that it didn't matter. Whether it was given to the housekeeper or Mr. Guo, it was for the Night King anyway. He had already done what he needed to do, and other matters were not his responsibility. So, he bowed to the Night King and left with his maid.

The Night King watched Xiji leave with a deep look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Not long after Xiji left, Mr. Guo, who had been out for a while, came back and went straight into Ye Wang's study. He saw something on his desk at first glance and guessed what it was. He immediately became excited and looked at Ye Wang and said, "Sir, is this the finished product?"
