It was around past noon when Wei Xia RI decided to check the auction hall for some high quality men, if possible. What if a captured foreign man was there? It would be better than getting a traditional, ancient dude!

"Ladies and gentlemen, for the much awaited final product of the day! Aladdin!"

Wei Xia Ri grinned. Her heart flattered at the sound of a foreign name.

As her eyes were glued onto the cage inside the velvet curtain, she starts counting her copper coins and few silvers left in her pocket.

Slowly, the host teased the audience with a pair of cuffed almost white yet lightly-tanned feet. Then a leg covered in baggy yet thin white pants. Wei Xia Ri gasped at the following eight pack of abs. Of course so did the other women and some perverts! Then when an adam's apple was revealed, the tyrant gulped in antic.i.p.ation.

Such face...

His face had been shaved clean, as if those hair on the face would destroy the viewers eyes. Not a stubble left. His bushy brows must have been fixed too! And his raven black hair was long and loose over his chest. With a pair of deep, tantalizing turquoise eyes hidden by long lashes, a straight nose and full lips, he looked like an ideal Arabian prince that novelists liked!

Just as Wei Xia Ri was going to make a claim, the host announced, "The bidding will start at 1 gold ingot!" thus dampening her mood. The Arabian prince was not in the budget so she might as well leave.

During the past few days if not for a date, Wei Xia Ri has discovered a shocking financial truth.

Some of her businesses in the red district were not doing well! They were behind rent and some hooligans had been taking advantage!

Her servants... They don't get paid but got cheated of their total monthly wages.

The residence itself was in need of renovation.

Moreso, her remaining 7000 men has been dispirited because of her tyranny and corrupt leaders.h.i.+p!

Because the new Wei Xia Ri intended for a life of good fortune, such problems cannot be left behind!

When she left, her head hung low and her shoulders sunk. It was a walk of shame. However, in other's eyes, it was a woman with a chaotic expression and thinking of how to make trouble.

As time pa.s.sed rather slowly, Wei Xia Ri found herself ambushed at a weirdly isolated street in the red light district. She was just a few steps away from her wh.o.r.e house and casino!

Men in black, faces covered but blades were swinging midair.

Wei Xia Ri sighed and in an uninterested tone, as if talking to her annoying siblings, she asked, "What do you want?"

"Your head!"

"How incredible, shouldn't they hesitate?" The soldier sighed. Though a transmigrator, the original has blessed her with her memories and the body's extreme training. Mere a.s.sa.s.sins who ambush her in the middle of an afternoon would not be so lucky.

'morons! This boss is blessed!'

When a blade came swinging to her side, the original's gaze has caught it and Wei Xia Ri dodged away then stepped forward to knock him out with her bare hand.

They swiftly came one after another, becoming trickier and trickier. As Wei Xia RI continued to dodge and neutralize their blades with her double swords, they realized how the tyrant did not make any single move to kill them. So the remaining made a circle around Wei Xia Ri, waiting for their target to make a slip. Though she did not kill, it was an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt for her head after all.

"I am having trouble sorting out my troubles but you guys disrupt? How much were you paid, I'll make sure you swallow twice as much and have better quality of life?"

"..." The tyrant was never so civilized. Hearing her speak and make sense felt too strange.

Behind their masks, a frown mostly knotted their brows together and they narrowed their eyes into slits.

"An impostor," a woman's familiar voice uttered lowly, almost just to herself except for the keen senses of the martial artists surrounding her. Including the general.

'I know right!' Wei Xia RI could not help but agree. Though she wore the original's regular dirty white clothes and the light armor on her chest, shoulders and boots, the transmigrator was different. She walked with a better posture and gait. Wei Xia Ri also did not cause trouble back at the auction hall.

However, this matter can be interpreted differently. Especially if it comes to the fifth prince's woman, Yu Xuan Xuan. Even if she knew the truth.

"This general is an impostor? Who is brave enough to do that?"

"The person who killed the general," she answered in a matter-of-fact tone. Strangely, she was too sure, even Wei Xia RI who liked peace raised her vigilance. The time the original died was an ambush, what happened back there? Everybody was dead but could it be---

A small chuckle left the general's lips. Not a stray of suspicion flashed to betray her current expression.

"Oh I see. Go back to your darling fiance and make love. Stop spouting lies and bear some noisy kids instead." Thankfully, Wei Xia Ri's way of speaking differed little from the previous.

In exchange, some jaws were unhinged 'How vulgar!'

"... You... I'll make you pay for the smallest grievances you make. You are too audacious."

Wei Xia Ri lived the adult life in another world already where people everywhere can potentially be dangerous, showing emotions especially at work would usually cause a downfall. Hiding her emotions without letting out a crack has become her Forte, only an experienced working person can have. Keep smiling and do your job!

Therefore she confidently tilted her head sidewards and looked at the woman with a ridiculed gaze. A taunting smirk pulled one side of her lips and she scoffed. "You... What are you going to do about it? I initially wanted to make peace with you but here you are throwing your brains out of your mouth! You talk and spit your intelligence out. What a shame."

"..." The prince's woman remained silent. Suddenly, Wei Xia Ri had a funny premonition-- 'Could this girl be some vengeful transmigrator, an a.s.sa.s.sin and a doctor at the same time? LOL WHAT THE h.e.l.l. She does give the vibes!'

Nevertheless, Wei Xia Ri still had a face to keep up. "I'll do the talking alright. You, you, you, you, all of you," but her eyes did not leave the fifth prince' s woman, "I am heading to my brothel. Why don't you turn to the bright side and come with me instead?"

"..."

"Okay then, make way because this owner needs to save her people!" Though Wei Xia Ri had no intention to stain her hands, her face was as evil as ever. She had such an indifferent expression but contrasted by her menacing eyes. As she walked towards the entrance of the brothel, the a.s.sa.s.sins stood aside warily. They let her go but followed behind her, besides, their employer was with them and seemed to not hold any further hostilities after the quick spar.

'what did she mean by save her people?' Yu Xuan Xuan wondered.

Wei Xia Ri finally found the Flowers Pavillion that stood next to her General's Den casino. From the previous memories, it was such a business that she bragged about. Yet here stood a dilapidated building.

Not a word left her mouth and she marched in. There, a pretty woman in her forties welcomed them with a charming smile. She stood straight and clasped her small hands together. Her pink clothes were unwrinkled and flowed like a veil on the wooden floor. With that, she followed with, "Welcome back, General!"

Wei Xia RI nodded wordlessly as she scanned the interior. It was a four story building with the most common structure as any other ancient buildings. It was simple and uninteresting in her eyes. The best thing to see was the thin, colorful yards of cloth that were used for decor to feminize the building.

She sighed. "Kick out all the customers today and bring all of our people to the foyer now."

The Flower Pavillion's host quickly nodded and called out the servants to announce the job. Yet as soon as they saw the tyrant, a look of fright and delight could be seen in their faces.

Nevertheless, it did not take a long for a small group of mostly male customers were showed out. Wei Xia Ri waited for their aggressive protests but it seemed like the customers knew how to behave well.

However, Yu Xuan Xuan was cautious and memorized their faces as they pa.s.sed by.

Then finally, men who either looked like part of the small security team and some were servants gathered onto one side. On the other hand, women of different ages stood beside each other with their servant girls. It was easy to distinguish their status judging by their appearance. Wei Xia Ri herself was no fool and saw such unfair reality in the room.

"Has everyone gathered?" Wei Xia Ri asked.

"General, we are still bringing down the sick Lady Meng," said the hostess.

"Alright, let's wait a little."

Meanwhile, Yu Xuan Xuan kept her silence but watched with utmost curiosity about how this tyrant was going to 'save' her people for as far as she knew, Wei Xia Ri herself was the one who lead their downfall after failing to return on time from the battle.

As they waited in silence, a sudden knock on the door from the outside echoed in the silent foyer. The hostess looked at the bright sun's rays and then at Wei Xia Ri with a knowing gaze. "General," she began.

"Who is it?"

"It's that unruly boy again," the hostess sighed.

Wei Xia RI turned to look at the entrance and given that she stood on an elevated podium near the window, she was able to see a young man dressed like a peac.o.c.k and stood confidently before the entrance. A small smile played on his pretty lips that made Wei Xia Ri's eyes glow. She suddenly wondered what his skills were and if he was a tolerable person. Yet judging from the hostess' expression, the youth though attractive was a pain in the b.u.t.t.

"Let him in, it's good for more people to come for marketing reasons," the general simply answered. Yet the glow in her eyes was undeniable.

The hostess, Luo Ning, has been tolerating the boy coming in and out of their brothel for so long. It was either to make trouble by flirting with the girls or being too wilfull by trying to meet their most sought out courtesans. Yet when she saw the tyrant's interested gaze, her stomach was suddenly filled with b.u.t.terflies. 'Finally, his time has come.'

"As you say, general."

While Lady Meng was carried downstairs on a makes.h.i.+ft bed, the young man was brought in.
