Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Chapter 592 He Gave Too Much (Second Update, Please Vote)

╮╰╭

Looking at Suzuki Seimei's innocent and adorable appearance, the older sister in blue was also full of helplessness. She couldn't possibly explain the difference between sleeping and sleeping to a child like Suzuki Seimei, could she?

"Butterfly, what happened?"

Just as the woman in blue was feeling a headache coming on, a pleasant voice suddenly rang out, instantly relieving her of a great burden.

Suzuki Seimei subconsciously looked up and saw a slender, purple-haired beauty wearing a long purple fishtail dress, swaying her waist as she walked down the stairs.

This woman has a charming face and a pair of beautiful purple eyes with bewitching purple butterflies painted at the corners of her eyes. Her long dress has cutouts at the waist and back, revealing her snow-white skin. Her two slender legs are covered with black stockings, and she wears a pair of crimson high-heeled shoes. She is none other than Zi Nu, the owner of Zi Lan Xuan!

"Sister, you've come at the right time, little brother."

When Cai Die saw Zi Nu arrive, she quickly went to her side and whispered what had just happened.

???

After listening to Cai Die's story, Zi Nu's gaze towards Suzuki Seimei also carried a hint of what one might call the landlord's foolish son.

If he weren't the landlord's foolish son, why would he run to a place like Zilanxuan to ask someone to warm his bed and tell him a bedtime story?

Facing the strange look from Zi Nu, Suzuki Seimei feigned displeasure, raised the gold coins in his hand, and shouted, "I have money!"

︿￣︶￣︿

Seeing Suzuki Seimei's adorable "I'm rich, I don't care" expression, Zi Nu couldn't help but chuckle. She strode over to him with her long legs, bent down, and asked, "Young Master, are you really going to stay here tonight?"

I must say! Zi Nu has a truly great conscience!

When Zi Nu leaned close to Suzuki Seimei, he felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"nonsense!"

Suzuki Haruaki pouted and said, "Why would I come here so late at night if I didn't want to spend the night here?"

In Zi Nu's eyes, Suzuki Seimei was just a little kid, and she wouldn't be annoyed by a child's attitude.

Zi Nu chuckled and teased, "Young master, things are quite expensive here. If you want one of our girls to warm your bed and tell you stories, your money won't be enough."

Although Suzuki Seimei was holding a handful of gold coins, his hands were too small, so at most he could only hold twenty or thirty gold coins.

This amount of money is enough to have some snacks and listen to some music at Zilan Pavilion, but it's still not enough to have a deeper conversation with the girls.

Hearing Murasaki's words, Suzuki Seimei didn't show any weakness. Instead, he sniffed her fragrance and said, "Beautiful sister, you smell so good. If I want you to warm my bed for one night, how much would that cost?"

""

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu was slightly taken aback, but then couldn't help but laugh and said, "Young master, I am a pure courtesan who sells her art but not her body."

However, since you are so adorable, I can make an exception for you.

"If you can come up with a thousand gold coins, I'll warm your bed for you tonight."

As the mistress of Zilan Pavilion, Zi Nu naturally didn't need to personally warm the guests' beds.

If it were any other guest, let alone a thousand gold coins, even ten thousand gold coins wouldn't have made Zi Nu agree to help warm the bed.

However, Suzuki Seimei was different; he was just a little kid who hadn't even grown any hair yet.

Let alone warming his bed, even if she were to scrub his body, Zi Nu would feel like she was just teasing a child, not being taken advantage of.

Of course!

Zi Nu had no intention of swindling money from children, nor did she believe that Suzuki Seimei could come up with a thousand gold coins. She simply wanted to discourage him!

After all, a thousand gold coins is not a small amount, and Zi Nu did not believe that Suzuki Seimei would carry so many gold coins with him.

It's important to know that gold coins have considerable purchasing power; one gold coin can be exchanged for ten silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for five hundred copper coins.

Since Xinzheng City is the capital of South Korea, the cost of living here is much higher than in other cities, which is why gold coins seem somewhat worthless.

In other cities in South Korea, a single gold coin is enough for an average family of three to cover their daily expenses for a year.

The 100,000 border troops stationed on the South Korean border only have an annual military budget of 100,000 gold coins.

Therefore, a bed warming fee of one thousand gold coins per night is by no means cheap; in fact, it could be described as exorbitant.

"A thousand gold coins?!"

Just when Zi Nu thought Suzuki Seimei thought it was too expensive, she suddenly heard him say in a very irritating tone, "This is too cheap!"

╬￣俣＝○#￣#３￣

Seeing Suzuki Seimei's arrogant attitude, Zi Nu and Cai Die suddenly felt an urge to hit him.

Under Cai Die's somewhat surprised gaze, Suzuki Seimei suddenly reached into his robes, took out a flawless, top-quality mutton-fat jade pendant, and handed it to Zi Nu, saying, "Beautiful sister, this jade pendant is worth at least five thousand gold coins. That should be enough for you to warm my bed for five days, right?"

o?Д?っ!

Looking at the exquisitely crafted jade pendant, Zi Nu couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

With Zi Nu's discerning eye, she could certainly see the true value of this exquisite jade pendant.

A flawless, top-quality mutton-fat jade pendant like this could fetch not just five thousand gold coins, but tens of thousands of gold coins.

Although Zi Nu herself is a wealthy woman, her total assets would not exceed 100,000 gold coins.

If it were Zi Nu, she definitely wouldn't be willing to spend so much money to buy such a precious and exquisite jade pendant.

It's not that top-quality jade pendants aren't valuable enough, but rather that they're difficult to sell quickly, and gold coins are more convenient to use in critical moments.

When Zi Nu first saw Suzuki Harumi's extravagant lifestyle, she thought he was some rich landlord's foolish son.

However, upon seeing Suzuki Seimei casually produce such a precious and exquisite jade pendant, Zi Nu instantly abandoned her original idea.

This little brat in front of me is definitely not the stupid son of a landlord, but the stupid son of some prince or nobleman.

To be honest, Zi Nu didn't want to trick children out of their pocket money, but seeing how rich Suzuki Seimei was, she really found it hard to treat him like an ordinary child anymore.

┐??┌

There was nothing I could do; he gave too much!

"Young master, please follow me."

As she accepted the exquisite jade pendant from Suzuki Seimei, Zi Nu's smile grew even warmer. She took his small hand and led him towards the private room on the second floor.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Zi Nu. You are rewarded with five years' worth of innate true qi, which you can claim at any time."

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Suzuki Harumi's steps became even lighter.

Zilanxuan, second-floor private room

"Smack smack smack"

Suzuki Seimei, dressed in fine clothes, was leisurely resting his head on Murasaki's lap, eating grapes that she had peeled herself.

Two scantily clad women were kneeling at Suzuki Seimei's feet, massaging his two adorable little feet.

There were also four slender older women dancing gracefully to the beautiful music, showcasing their stunning figures and curves.

The gorgeously dressed beauty in charge of playing the zither is none other than Nongyu, the top courtesan of Zilan Pavilion!

Ever since she learned that Suzuki Seimei was a genuine dog-lover, Zi Nu no longer treated him like an ordinary child. Now she just wanted to fleece this fat sheep as much as possible.

Because Suzuki Seimei was so generous with his money, the beautiful older women who came to serve him were all vying to serve him.

After all, serving other guests not only meant being taken advantage of, but also earning less money than the tips Suzuki Seimei casually gave.

Moreover, Suzuki Seimei is still an adorable little boy. Strictly speaking, it's hard to say who's taking advantage of whom.

If it weren't for the presence of Zi Nu, those elegantly dressed older women would have already taken advantage of Suzuki Seimei under the pretense of giving him a massage.

After Nongyu finished playing her piece, Suzuki Seimei got up and went to her side, snuggling into her arms and saying sweetly, "Nongyu-neechan, your playing was so beautiful, and you smell so good!"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Nongyu. You are rewarded with a Phoenix Cry Zither, which you can claim at any time."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Suzuki Seimei's eyes, and he began to examine the attributes of the Phoenix Cry Koto with some curiosity.

Equipment Name: Phoenix Harp

Type: Weapon

Quality: Rare

Effect 1: Sonic Attack: Can transform the music played into invisible sonic attacks with astonishing power.

Effect 2: Double the power: When using the Phoenix Melody Zither to perform zither-based skills, the skill power is doubled.

Note: A song that breaks one's heart, where in the world can one find a kindred spirit?

From the perspective of equipment attributes, the Phoenix Cry Zither is a powerful piece of equipment, but its music-related skills are relatively unpopular.

Of all the skills that Suzuki Seimei possessed, only the Seven-String Invisible Sword can be considered a skill related to musical sounds.

?????ω?????

Nongyu, who was being targeted by Suzuki Seimei at his peak, blushed slightly. However, she wasn't really angry; she was just a little uncomfortable with his intimate gesture.

After all, Suzuki Seimei was still a child. What kind of bad intentions could a child have?

Seeing Suzuki Seimei clinging to Nongyu's arms, seemingly unwilling to leave, Zi Nu smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, since you like Nongyu so much, why don't you let Nongyu help you warm your bed tonight?"

"Okay!"

Suzuki Seimei nodded happily and said, "I like Nongyu-neechan the most."

"but"

Seeing Suzuki Seimei take the bait so easily, a sly smile flashed deep in Zi Nu's eyes, but on the surface she pretended to be hesitant: "However, Nongyu is the top courtesan of our Zi Lan Xuan, and her bed-warming fee is higher than mine."

"I know!"

Before Zi Nu could finish speaking, Suzuki Seimei interrupted her, took out a pair of exquisite white jade bracelets from his pocket, and handed them to Nong Yu: "Sister Nong Yu, these bracelets are worth at least ten thousand gold pieces. Consider it your bed warming fee."

"this"

Looking at the pair of white jade bracelets handed to her by Suzuki Seimei, Nongyu frowned slightly, revealing a somewhat troubled expression.
