Underground Black Market 1

So fast! No one had even seen where the leg had come from.

The speed was so fast that before they could regain their senses, the fight had ended with the two flying away and crashing onto the table full of cakes and pastries, dirtying their look beyond repair and leaving them in a messy heaps.

Ouyang Xueqing was stunned, the corner of her mouth twitched as she trailed the culprit's long and white milky leg to to her green dress and to her oval shaped, freckled face and bright almond eyes. Her hair was light brown, crowning her head beautifully.

She was really speechless ah! In fact, she thought that in the Beast Mainland only she would beat people up as she pleased, it turned out that Mother was lying to her again!

She looked at Ouyang Xueqing with a tint of sharpness and...embarrassment? She coughed lightly. "Are you okay?"

Ouyang Xueqing gaped and raised her thumbs up. "Great moves!"

Now, the lady's mouth twitched. I just kicked people and she actually praised me? This girl is really…

Her eyes brightened. "I like you!"

Ouyang Xueqing: "..."

"What's your name? I am Ling Xiaochen."

At this moment, the group of bullies were forgotten. They stood dumbfounded as they witnessed the two ladies chatting cheerfully as they were long lost friend. The two sorry looking figure had run away long ago...to tattletale, perhaps?

Honestly, she didn't care though. If they wanted to compare who was the best they could tattletale to, would anyone dared to take the first place if she claimed second?

Humph! Just wait until she complained to Ren Yupei and An Zhengnan! See how they will deal with you!

She turned to the strange girl that still waiting for her answer. She was a head taller than Ouyang Xueqing so she had to raise her head slightly.

Hesitated, she spoke: "Why should I tell you?"

It's not that she was an ingrate ah! She really didn't want to casually reveal her identity. If she wanted to, she would have taken off her mask from the first second when she received the rude behavior!

However the lady seemed to misunderstand something here. She glared at the group of ladies that were still standing there awkwardly.

"What are you looking at? Do you want me to teach you a lesson?" She threatened menacingly..

Ouyang Xueqing's eyes flashed. For a moment, she got a dejavu feeling, it was something so familiar. Ah yes, this lady, she was so similar to her, from the way she talked to the way she beat someone up.

Unexpectedly the group of ladies ran away as if they had just seen a ghost. However, Ouyang Xueqing could see Zhang Qianqian's pale and pallid face that filled with hatred and evil…

Well, just dig your own grave then! I will certainly help to push you inside and bury you myself! Humph! Humph! Imperial Father doesn't even dared to be mad at me, where does your courage come from?!

After no one else was around them, the lady in green asked again: "What is your name? I am Long Xiaochen!" She grinned widely.

"Um…" She scratched her cheek. "Can I not tell you?"

Ling Xiaochen was shocked silly. "Why?!"

"I just don't."

She contemplated for a moment before snapping her fingers. "Are you scared of your identity known?"

Ouyang Xueqing's eye bulged wide. Did she realize something?

"Don't look so surprised ah! You think anyone can keep a secret from me?"

Ouyang Xueqing blinked in confusion. "Why?"

Long Xiaochen gulped, looking at the airhead silly looking lady in front of her, she was so tempted to squish her cheeks! "Could it be...that you don't know who I am?"

Ouyang Xueqing frowned. She really didn't know anyone ah! "Should I know you?"

"Of course!" She slapped her thigh exasperatedly. "It's okay if you don't know that bitch Zhang Qianqian, but how can you not know the great me?"

Scratch that, they were not similar, not similar at all! This is the first time she had ever encountered such a narcissistic lady.

Ling Xiaochen motioned for Ouyang Xueqing to follow her. She hesitated slightly. Ren Yupei had taught her not to follow strangers ah! What if she got kidnapped?

Ling Xiaochen clicked her tongue impatiently. "Aiyah, I am not suspicious ah!" Perhaps finding her words unreliable, she got close to Ouyang Xueqing's right ear and whispered: "I heard what you said about searching someone named Mo Yujian, what if I told you…that I can help?"

Ouyang Xueqing recoiled in shock. Ling Xiaochen could help her? She scanned her from top to bottom in doubt. The thing that even the guards of Imperial family couldn't do, she said she could?

"Don't look at me like that! Why do you think the bitches there run away when they saw me? Of course, it's because I can destroy their family with the snap of my finger!" She playfully snapped her fingers, then puffed out her chest while waiting for a praise.

When she didn't hear anything after a while, she pouted grumpily. "You still don't believe me? Let me tell you—"

"I believe."

Ling Xiaochen gaped midway. "Ah, what? What do you say just now?"

"I said, I believe you." Ouyang Xueqing answered firmly. She too didn't know why, but she just had the feeling that this girl could help her to find, no, at least, to find out any news about the mysterious Mo Yujian. "At least, I half-believe you. For now."

Ling Xiaochen's eyes brightened. Her smile bloomed like flowers. In the midst of the lanterns, she look adorable and shining. "You will realize that you just made the rightest decision in your whole life!"

"Yeah yeah." Ouyang Xueqing rolled her eyes inwardly. Somehow she had gotten used to this narcissistic trait of hers. Surprisingly it was not annoying though, unlike the previous white lotus Zhang Qianqian. "So, how can you help me?"

She was curious since then. Ling Xiaochen didn't seem like she came from a well-off family, well at least her dress was what was sold in markets with meager price, unlike hers which was tailor-made.

"Well, behold!" She casually hold her shoulder, really acting like an older sister that was taking her little sister out for walk.

They sauntered through the crowd, skillfully avoiding the place where people gathered and arrived at an corner alley that was almost invisible if not for Ling Xiaochen that guided her here.

She halted her steps and said proudly: "My reputation has soared through the mainland as the secret holder, the person who could see through anything, the network and information base, the most knowledgeable in the whole Beast Mainland…"

Ouyang Xueqing almost puked out blood. Looking at the girl's arrogant look, she was so infuriated that she almost slapped the girl's face.

"In short, I am the underground market's boss' daughter. His sole and only lovely daughter."

She cut her sharply. "So, it was all your father then?"

"Humph!" Ling Xiaochen folded her arms. "Don't be mistaken! What my dad knows, I know too! For example, how much dirty work your Imperial Father had done throughout his years of reigning."

Ouyang Xueqing was startled, her face reddened in anger. She hissed: "Imperial Father is the greatest Emperor ever!"

How could she take it if someone had just insulted her beloved Imperial Father right in front of her?

To Ouyang Xueqing, Wang Ze was the epitome of just and wise Emperor, he was the most formidable, charismatic, and brilliant of all!

In front of the suddenly aggressive Ouyang Xueqing, Ling Xiaochen froze for a second.

Her lips then curled in an unreadable smile and she said slowly: "You have really been living in a fairytale huh, Princess Ouyang Xueqing?"
