Chapter 75.1 - Female slave Lan Bai
Lou Qingwu looked past the bidders and at the young girl on the sage.
She wore a long floor length red gown that revealed her long and slender body, her limbs were thin as her aura was graceful and refined.
She was completely different from the other girls who had been sold previously.
Her head was held high up, her face covered with a veil that only revealed a pair of beautiful eyes.
Her eyes were lofty and proud, cold and inviolable.
Her hands were tied behind her back.
She was young, but her aura was so cold.
Even though Lou Qingwu was quite far away, she could still feel it.
She stared dazedly at the young girl on the stage, her mind a blank.
So this was what a young Lan Bai looked like.
Who knew that before the years had pressured her, the bleakness of the world had beat down on her, Lan Bai was so beautiful and bright.
At this time, she was like a pearl that hadn’t been unearthed, so dazzling to the eye that even she couldn’t bear to move her eyes away.
She lifted up a hand to cover her eyes.
When she opened them again, the brightness was one that even Feng Shiyi, who was by her side, couldn’t ignore.
He’d followed Miss Lou for so long, but this was the first time that she’d revealed her expressions so clearly.
He couldn’t help but look at the girl on the stage again.
Even though she was quite attractive, she was just an ordinary female slave, what was making Miss Lou so moved? To the point of impacting her emotions this strongly?
“Miss?”
Feng Shiyi spoke as a reminder, they should be heading back soon.
At this time, master and gentleman Li should be finishing up and his master’s probably anxious.
Lou Qingwu responded with a sound but her eyes never moved away from the stage.
She walked slowly to the front, her ears filled with the sounds of men bidding loudly.
Ten taels, a hundred taels, a thousand taels ….
Lan Bai’s price kept going higher up until 3200 taels and then, no one went any higher.
At this time, Lou Qingwu stood at the bottom of the stage.
The host also froze at Lou Qingwu’s actions and couldn’t help but ask, “This miss, you are?”
Lou Qingwu didn’t look at her, she just stared fixedly at Lan Bai.
She lifted up her feet and stepped on the steps, until she stood in front of the girl.
She placed a wad of silver banknotes on the host's’ chest.
Her voice was light, “Ten thousand taels.”
Just as she spoke, everyone at the auction couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.
To use ten thousand taels to buy a female slave, who was this miss?
Was she insane?
Lou Qingwu ignored the eyes behind her and only calmly looked at the girl in front.
Their two figures were quite similar.
At this time, Lan Bai was probably around 13-14 years old, only a year younger than her.
But when she saw her in her last life time, she only appeared much more mature because of the changes that her hard years had pressed on her body.
“You, are you willing to leave with me?”
Lou Qingwu’s voice was very light, her voice bringing about a sense of warmth that couldn’t be understood.
The girl who stood proudly, used her beautiful eyes to finally fall on Lou Qingwu.
Her red lips underneath the veil pursed as she swept her eyes at the hungrily watching men underneath, and then back to the girl in front of her.
Her mouth curved mockingly, “Do I have a choice?”
Lou Qingwu laughed and let out a relieved breath, “Then follow me.”
She wouldn’t let her suffer any more, the disappointment and despair in her last lifetime wouldn’t appear on her body this time.
The girl froze as she saw the warmth in Lou Qingwu’s eyes, to the point where she was a bit dazed.
In that split second, she actually saw a type of saintly light from her body.
A light that drove away the darkness there, leading her towards the light she stood under.
On the other side, Feng Shiyi had been frightened by Lou Qingwu’s voice.
Miss Lou … actually bought a female slave?
How could he tell that to his master?

TL note:
Plot twist: LQW’s a lesbian and Feng Shiyi found out, so he’s gonna have to die.
Leave a comment and follow because I’m joking but like seriously, how do we level up Feng Yege? xx
You tell him the truth. She bought a female servant for 10k silvers. Make your master go crazy thinking she is into woman.
ReplyDeleteA bit too crazy for this era unfortunately 😭😭
DeleteIt's entirely BECAUSE it's too crazy that makes it all the more fun. :D
DeleteBad enough Feng Yege already had to drink vinegar because of Anye's master, learning less than half a day later that he got brushed off in favor of a lady? He'd probably just collapse :D
Feng Yege kicked her out first 😤😤
DeleteLQW's like 15 and Lan Bai's even smaller, let's hope Feng Yege isn't that dirty minded 😱
Considering the era... 15's neither too young or old I think.
Delete... AGAIN, CONSIDERING THE TIME. STOP CALLING THE COPS! I DIDN'T SAY I WAS INTERESTED IN PEDOBEAR MATERIAL! DROP THE PHONE!
Jail's just a room, see you in 10 years~ 🙈🙈
Delete... so long as that room has internet... maybe it's not so bad..... .... orz.
DeleteFree food and free lodging, what's not to love?? 😉😘
DeleteSoap without string attached. *Shudders*
DeleteSoap 😂😂
DeleteYaaayyy new person \o/
ReplyDeleteFeng Shiyi's explanation promises to be somewhat amusing, although not THAT bad I think, shouldn't be too out of place to buy an extra servant considering the times right?
... Okay slaves and servants are just a tiny teensy bit different, but they're close enough. .... right?
New character who is kinda permanent and will be around for a while 😊😊
DeleteIt's more concerning that LQW's buying a female slave from a place where guys buy their little concubines from or brothels buy their girls from 😶😶
... Look, It's like Japanese Geishas, they're meant to entertain. Not necessarily to conduct "those" activities.
DeleteEven Feng Shiyi said so! "teaching dancer girls, singing girls" ! ... What? I'm cutting off an important part of that quote? I don't know what you're talking about. >_>
I've heard of selective hearing but I guess selective reading's a thing now too 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
DeleteAt least LQW saved her from her fate this lifetime 💪
Omg ! That woulf be hilariouse !
ReplyDeleteI bet his answer would be like : doesnt matter, i can accept that .
������
Feng Yege gets jealous too easily 😘😘
DeleteO.O but i want him to be tongue tied as his underling describe how she was not able to take her eyes away from the new girl.
DeleteFeng Yege's image is really bad huh.
Delete(I should probably stop badmouthing the male lead 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️)
Can't wait to get more info why she did what she did. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLQW always has a reason, except for when she doesn't 💞💞
Deletenow LQW's making Feng Yege wear the green hat... because of a girl. Author-san really hates Feng Yege, huh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for updating <3
We're reading into it too much 😭
Delete(because we secretly hate Feng Yege?🤔🤔 )
Who is this lan bai?
ReplyDeleteLQW's new best friend 💕💕
DeleteHmm~ ally and a dear (past-life) friend get/saved! Thanks for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading 😙😙
DeleteThank you for the chapter~
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading 💞💞
DeleteI couldn't believe you were more twisted than the author.
ReplyDeleteI've been found out 😱😂
Delete🤣🤣🤣
Delete🙈🙈
DeleteUm, it would be harder to tell his master if she bought a male salve hahaha.
ReplyDeleteDepends on what the use is for. The connotation here is that LQW bought the equivalent of a prostitute in training which is why Feng Shiyi doesn't like it. Whereas if LQW bought a strong man for a body guard, that would be easily explained 🤷🏻♀️
