Chapter 145 – Worse Than A Beast!
“Young Lady, please do not worry, I have already sent someone to inform the authorities. I believe they would send someone over soon.”
……
The scarred thug’s expression changed immediately, he was having thoughts of retreating.
The thug with the injured hand pointed at Huan Qing Yan’s pig spirit and shouted, “Big Bro, I remember it now, it was that pig which bit me. The reason my spirit treasure became extremely weak and was unable to be summoned was surely related to that pig spirit, Big Bro…”
They wanted to retreat but they found themselves being surrounded by the observers, now that someone had been sent to inform the authorities. If a constable arrives, they would be in deep trouble.
The scarred thug could only be led by Huan Qing Yan’s words, “Indeed. We might have mistaken and caught the wrong person. This young lady, sorry for the inconvenience!”
With that, the thugs tried to create a path out of the crowd.
Huan Qing Yan said, “Wait a minute. You covered this lady in a gunnysack and dragged me away. Is that how you apologize after you discover that you have caught the wrong person?”
The scarred thug gritted his teeth, he removed the money pouch on his waist and hand it to Huan Qing Yan, “It is our fault for offending this lady, I hope these 100 spirit stones will be enough to calm this lady down.”
Huan Qing Yan accepted the pouch.
Although not much, it’s still spirit stones. Although the Huan Estate possesses a lot of jewelry, gold and silvers. they did not have much spirit stones. Despite their family owning many properties, only the restaurant along the Spirit Master Street provided them an income of spirit stones…
Even though it was a restaurant, the spirit stones it earned had always been… not much. She had told Madam Huan to keep all the spirit stones earned from the restaurant inside the estate’s safe and only use it for Little Xing Han when he awakens his spirit treasure in the future.
The scarred thug and gang sighed inwardly when they saw Huan Qing Yan accepting their offer, they once again tried to leave…
Huan Qing Yan once again said, “Wait a moment!”
The scarred thug held in his vexed emotions and asked, “What else do you want?”
She pointed at the young man who was hiding within the crowd and exclaimed, “Isn’t that person the runaway concubine that your Master Hu San was looking for? Eh? It seems really like it! That Master Hu San likes men and has been collecting beautiful young men as his concubines, I happened to meet one of them before and it was him! The one with a red mole at the corner of his eye! Do not let him escape! Since he had sold himself to be a concubine, he still dare to steal and elope with his adulterer, we cannot let trash like him escape…”
Princess Cang Xia was currently in rage at the failure of that group of idiots when suddenly everyone’s gaze settled on her.
After she thought back to Huan Qing Yan’s words, that beautiful young man was referring to her?
She dressed up as a man today so that it would be convenient for her to move!
She jumped in shock, just as she wanted to speak up for herself, Huan Qing Yan already appeared in front of her and covered her with the gunnysack.
Princess Cang Xia was only a Two-Star Spirit Master and also only an Almond Star. So, she had a much lower resistance level, she only managed to speak for a moment after being covered by the gunnysack, “Huan Qing Yan, how dare you! Quickly release this one… you…”
The commotion from the crowd increased, Huan Qing Yan continued to loudly criticize her, “Hear that? He referred himself as this one*, I heard that sissies like them with queer preferences like to refer to themselves as this one. We do not despise perverts like you with weird preferences but since you have sold yourself to your master for money, you should not have tried to run away. Yet, not only did you run away, you also stole from your Master and eloped with your adulterer, that’s too despicable!”
(Cuppa: In the original text, it used 本宫 which is a term commonly used by females of higher authority when they address people below them within the palace. Similarly, it was also used by high ranking eunuchs when they address people under them.)
“What’s even more despicable is that you knew that these men have caught the wrong person, yet you did not stand up to defend me. In fact, you even hid amongst the crowd to watch the show, you are even worse than a beast!”
