I'm a villain with my own world modifier

Bai Qiuyuan looked at the remaining man and smiled.

"My dear, what do you think?"

The man immediately responded to Bai Qiuyuan.

"Since Your Majesty thinks it's okay, then I, this old minister, have no problem with it either."

……

——After leaving the court——

After seeing everyone leave, Bai Qiuyuan lay down on the dragon throne in Ge You's posture.

Xia Yudie came to Bai Qiuyuan, poured him a cup of tea, and asked.

"If they don't agree, are you really going to withdraw the policy, even at the cost of the royal family's credibility, and return the money?"

Xia Yudie said as she handed the poured tea to Bai Qiuyuan.

Bai Qiuyuan stood up and took the tea and said.

"The majesty of the royal family is but a prevarication."

"There will be some opposition in the court, but it's simply because they can't benefit from it."

"They are not fools, so they will not refuse the benefits that are delivered to their doorstep."

"This is a win-win situation with no harm and benefits, and they will definitely agree."

Bai Qiuyuan said this with an expected expression and calmly took a sip of tea.

Xia Yudie: “…”

Bai Qiuyuan smiled after drinking the tea.

"Even if they really refuse, I will return all the money, and the shop owners will not lose any money."

"Instead, we gained a wave of customers from the royal family for nothing."

"I guess they won't say much about it."

“No businessman would care about a deal that doesn’t involve any loss and is a bargain.”

"Even if someone wants to gossip..."

"They dared to gossip about the royal family, which gave me a reason to confiscate their property and fill the national treasury."

Xia Yudie: “…”

Bai Qiuyuan: "Those ministers don't care whether they oppose the policy or not."

"From now on, any petition requesting an increase in monthly salary will be directly rejected."

Xia Yudie suddenly realized.

"I see. If they refuse, they'll be letting go of the opportunity to increase their monthly salary."

"I won't refuse. After the monthly salary has been increased, there is no reason for me to ask you to increase it again..."

Bai Qiuyuan put down his teacup, nodded, and smiled innocently.

"Just take this opportunity to tie the royal family to their interests."

"Even if there is a problem in Qiu Country in the future, as long as it is not life-threatening."

"Even if it's for their own benefit, they will do their best to solve it for me."

"I do have pensions and year-end bonuses, but..."

"I never said that everyone gets a year-end bonus."

"I never said at what age they can retire..."

"I will serve the royal family forever until I grow old~"

After hearing this, Xia Yudie looked at Bai Qiuyuan with an innocent face and fell into deep thought.

If I didn't know Bai Qiuyuan's "true face".

Xia Yudie felt that she was looking at Bai Qiuyuan in a harmless manner.

I don't even think about the real purpose of Bai Qiuyuan's policy release.

They would simply think that Bai Qiuyuan was trying to fill the deficit in the national treasury!

After all, who would have thought that a little kid could be so cunning???

Xia Yudie shuddered suddenly and thought silently in her heart.

He actually understood people's hearts to such an extent.

Is he really an eight-year-old?

[…You must never betray him again.]

If you betray...

[I guess he'll be eaten until not even a bone is left? ...]

【169】Swordsmanship Tournament!

--night--

After dismissing the disciples who posted advertisements, Bai Qiuyuan returned to Bailu Villa.

Nowadays, Bailu Villa is crowded almost every day.

But as the owner of the manor, Bai Qiuyuan enjoys the best treatment and has his own private hot spring!

No matter how many guests there are, Bai Qiuyuan can soak in the hot springs anytime he wants.

After soaking in the hot spring for a while, Bai Qiuyuan got up, changed into a yukata, and lay down on the lounge chair in the lounge.

Bai Qiuyuan then took out a jade slip from the space ring and used his spiritual sense to check the contents inside.

Half a month later, Jiange will host the sword-fighting conference that is held once every ten years.

The contents of the jade slip are exactly the precautions for the Jiange Sword Conference.

Bai Qiuyuan was participating in a sword-fighting competition for the first time.

Han Qianqiu wanted to prevent Bai Qiuyuan from making a fool of himself at the sword-fighting competition because he didn't understand the rules.

So he specially gave Bai Qiuyuan this jade slip.

Bai Qiuyuan learned this from the jade slip.

In addition to the opening and closing ceremonies, this sword-fighting conference is divided into three steps and one activity.

The three steps correspond to three secret levels.

The three secret levels are used to test the monk's sword intent, sword energy and sword heart respectively.

The levels will be ranked according to the monks' clearance time.

The shorter the time, the better the monk's performance.

The top three monks with outstanding overall scores will receive rewards from Jiange.

If a casual cultivator is lucky enough to be noticed by the elders of the Sword Pavilion during this sword discussion conference.

Even if you missed the chance to be recruited as a disciple of Jiange, you can still become a disciple of Jiange as an exception!

The activity will be held after the three tests are completed.

After the test, all participants in the conference can choose any monk from among all the people present as their opponent and start a sword duel!

Even the elders of Jian Ge can be designated as opponents to be challenged.

To fight against a powerful swordsman is a great opportunity for a swordsman who practices swordsmanship!

……

After reading all the precautions, Bai Qiuyuan put away the jade slip.

After stretching lazily on the recliner, Bai Qiuyuan closed his eyes and smiled in his heart.

[The previous world was busy making Talos.]

[I haven't slept much. I'm not sleepy, but I still want to get some sleep...]

Afterwards, Bai Qiuyuan lay down on the recliner and fell asleep.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't slept for dozens of days in Talos' world.

In just a few minutes, Bai Qiuyuan fell into a deep sleep.

Even the spiritual consciousness that usually expanded for 24 hours could not be maintained because it was relaxed at this moment and disappeared directly.

……

--A few minutes later--

Xia Yudie, who came to the hot spring with Bai Qiuyuan, found Bai Qiuyuan after the hot spring.

[Hmm? He fell asleep?]

When Xia Yudie saw Bai Qiuyuan sleeping soundly, she was stunned for a second and then quietly came to Bai Qiuyuan and squatted down.

Looking at Bai Qiuyuan's sleeping face, Xia Yudie fell into deep thought.

Xia Yudie: “…”

[This bad guy looks much better when he's asleep than when he's awake...]

[My eyelashes are so long...and my skin is so smooth...]

How does he maintain his appearance?

[Or is it simply because he is still a child? ]

Looking at Bai Qiuyuan who was defenseless after falling asleep.

Xia Yudie always felt the urge to play a trick on Bai Qiuyuan.

After hesitating for a while, Xia Yudie, risking being caught red-handed by Bai Qiuyuan, reached out and poked Bai Qiuyuan's face with her finger...

Xia Yudie: [So soft...]

Bai Qiuyuan, who was sleeping, seemed to sense something strange on his face, frowned and spoke.

"Don't... make trouble..." (dream talk)

Xia Yudie: “…”

【Pfft...】

[When he's asleep, he looks like an ordinary kid...]

Xia Yudie then tactfully withdrew her hand.

He continued to squat beside Bai Qiuyuan and looked at him quietly.

Recalling what happened in the past few days, Xia Yudie found that Bai Qiuyuan was not as annoying as she had imagined.

Xia Yudie smiled and thought silently in her heart.

[As long as one has the cultivation level of a Sword Immortal... anyone can do it? ...]

【…】

【! ! ! 】

Xia Yudie immediately shook her head.

Squatting on the ground, covering his red face with his hands, he thought with shame and anger.

What the hell was I thinking?!

【There’s at least a decade difference in our ages! 】

【…】
