Chapter 227 - 199: Treasures
Procurement work has always been a coveted position that one cannot block; as long as it’s not excessive, Chen Li would just turn a blind eye.
Moreover, the couple only handled the procurement of daily meals, whereas the main expenses such as the medicinal herbs for medicinal baths, pills for cultivation, and the like were personally purchased by him. Besides, the quantity of food procured daily was fixed, so even if there was corruption, they couldn’t embezzle much.
However, Bai Wei’s serious nature made Chen Li somewhat worried:
"You should not meddle in this matter. Remember, they are cultivators, though their cultivation isn’t high, they are still cultivators, and you are merely a mortal."
Bai Wei’s expression darkened upon hearing this, and she bowed, "Yes, master, this servant understands!"
"Why do you sulk when I speak a word!" Chen Li said with a laugh.
"This servant wouldn’t dare!" Bai Wei lowered her head.
"The reason I told you not to interfere is to let you know that cultivators are very dangerous, especially those born as Loose Cultivators. To them, killing people is no different than slaughtering livestock.
Don’t be fooled by their kindly appearance and their yes-man attitude, for no one who has lived to their age is easygoing.
If you are too harsh on them and they harbor resentment in their hearts, you won’t even have time to regret it."
Chen Li’s warm words sent a warm current through Bai Wei’s heart. She looked up stealthily at Chen Li and spoke softly, "Thank you for your consideration, master. This servant’s life is insignificant, and it wouldn’t matter if I died."
