TFDC Chapter 74.1




Chapter 74.1 - Low class slave




The warmth in Feng Yege’s eyes grew deeper: “In a while, I’ll get Feng Shier to pretend to be a rich businessman and buy the two items. You don’t have to appear. Here’s an outfit to change into and a new mask. If there’s anything you want to buy, just bid on it.”

Lou Qingwu turned around and saw a pale purple long gown displayed.


It was a simple style but the material was made of sky silk.


Soft, gentle and smooth to touch, it really was the top of its class.


She nodded, “I’ll just look around casually.”

Li Yuan’s sudden appearance couldn’t have been a coincidence and thinking back about when she’d first entered the black market as well as when Feng Yege departed, he probably left because of Li Yuan.


Seeing as how they probably had something to discuss, she’d take the opportunity to first take a look at this fabled black market.


She took down the purple hairpin from her hair and passed it back to Feng Yege, “Here, I’m giving it back to you.”

Something in Feng Yege’s eyes flashed past, “If I gave it to you, then it’s yours.”

“Senior brother, there should be no rewards for no work.” Furthermore, this jade hairpin made her feel like there was some other meaning to it.


When she held it in her hands, the pure and translucent purple, was like the warm purple that flowed in his eyes when he wasn’t hiding them.


It was too beautiful, so she didn’t want to take it.


Feng Yege didn’t take it, “Then, I’ll temporarily leave it with you.”

“But …”

“Your senior brother’s a big man so even if I take it, I’ll have no use for it. What? You’re treating your senior brother like an outsider?”


Lou Qingwu wanted to say something else but she didn’t know how to reject him.


She lowered her eyes and took it, “Okay, then I’ll temporarily take care of it for you.”

Up until Lou Qingwu left, did Li Yuan finally enter from the side room.


When he saw Feng Yege still staring in the direction that the girl left, he casually pulled a chair next to him and sat down.


He devilishly spoke, “Why do I feel like you still haven’t gotten her yet?”


Feng Yege took back his gaze and looked at him coldly but didn’t reply.


Li Yuan’s jaw was about to drop.


“No way! You still haven’t gotten her? No way, just based on your looks,” He clicked his tongue, “It’s already been so many years. She’s that hard to get?”


“You should first take care of yourself.” Feng Yege narrowed his eyes dangerously, his eyes falling on Li Yuan’s sausage-like lips.


Li Yuan looked at him bitterly, “Seeing a female and forgetting your friends.”


“En? You have an opinion?”


“None! Definitely don’t!”


Li Yuan shook his head furiously.


How could he dare say yes?


If he ruined his affairs, he’d have to pick up and carry his head in the future.


However …


He actually placed that symbolic purple hairpin to that girl, the one that held another meaning.


Isn’t that too fast and thoughtless?


Obviously, he didn’t say it out loud.


They were all adults and he, of them all, was the best and brightest.


Even though no one could see through him, it’s not like they hadn’t thought of their own paths.


On the other side, Lou Qingwu walked through a secret passage from the second floor back to the first floor and all the way to the entrance.


Only this time, there was Feng Shiyi behind her.


“You can do your own thing.”

Feng Shiyi wore all black with a black mask that nearly covered his whole face, only revealing a pair of dark and sunken eyes.


Hearing Lou Qingwu’s words, he respectfully stood straight and shook his head.


Lou Qingwu soundlessly rubbed her forehead.


Whatever, she’d just let him follow.


She followed the long and meandering path forward.


Every now and then, there’d be a server and in another few steps, there’d be another entrance followed by another.


Each held a sign that represented its meaning.


In the end, Lou Qingwu stopped at the entrance to the “Slaves camp centre.”


“These are some slaves offered up by three countries. They’ll be sold as part of the auction.”
Feng Shiyi thought she was interested and helpfully explained to her.


“But these are all low classed slaves, most of them will be sent to serve … ah, in some places that can’t be seen in public.”


“Ah? Can’t be seen in public?”


“That is, a teaching department.” Feng Shiyi felt awkward explaining this to a small girl.


But because he was wearing a mask, she couldn’t see his expressions.


Lou Qingwu froze, teaching department?


The department that’s purpose made for teaching dancer girls, singing girls and even …

TL note:


Back to being a bit slow but the author’s gotta set up the atmosphere somehow.

  1. Ooh black market shenanigans, wonder what artifact she's gonna pick up here if we're going by the usual cliches~

    Hmm, wonder where we're going to with the slaves bit as well, don't think she's underestaffed since she has the backing of Jinsi Building as well as thousand face lord nearby.

    1. Take a peek at the contents page, the titles are a bit of a spoiler 😘

      There's no huge fantasy/xian xia element to the story so there won't be any OP artefacts unfortunately (LQW cultivating would be too much) 😱😭

    2. Fair enough, she's already a godly doctor/poison master. No need to make her more op.

      Although being able to unseal her own acupuncture points might be nice. ... Then again, I don't think Feng San is gonna dare to do anything to her again. :P Although I assume it'll happen at some point!

    3. Feng Yege can unseal his acupuncture points. I don't think she'll fall for that again.

      Feng San's definitely learnt his lesson 😳
