Chapter 87: Prepared to Prank
Hearing Lou Mu Yan’s arrogant words, the people around the young boy frowned unconsciously.
“Lou Mu Yan, don’t think that you’re amazing just because you’re able to kill a Tier 5 Demonic Beast, and you even want to not leave a single Demonic Beast fur for us. If you really have that ability, then show it to us, why only talk about it.”
Yun Ge looked unhappy, then mocked: “Let’s take a bet to see just who will lose.”
Lou Mu Yan’s aunt in the Imperial Palace, as the Empress, already supressed her Concubine Mother. Who expected that now the Lou Clan’s little trash’s strength also suppressed her. With new grudges and old grudges, it made Yun Ge feel exceptional disgust towards Lou Mu Yan.
Lou Mu Yan chuckled and raised an eyebrow: “That’s what you said.”
Was this stupid woman really an elite raised by the Imperial Family? She not only wasn’t astute nor subtle, but also got angry immediately when provoked.
Lou Mu Yan couldn’t help but cast a sympathetic glance at Ji Han Xu. With such a pig teammate1 as his betrothed, Ji Han Xu’s entire life would definitely never be boring.
In fact, she didn’t know that Yun Ge’s concubine mother was given the cold-shoulder by Yun Tian Chen because she once acted arrogantly towards the Empress and didn’t give her any face, relying on the fact that she was highly favoured by the Emperor. As Yun Ge’s talent was pretty good, she was sent to cultivate in the Imperial Family’s Secret Grounds. Plus, she was the princess of the Imperial Family, so many people were willing to sell her some favours, and from a young age, she was also very distant from the complexities of the Imperial Palace and hadn’t interacted with a lot of secrets. That’s why it raised her to be such a simplistic, stupid, and self-centred person.
Ji Han Xu naturally caught Lou Mu Yan’s blatant sympathetic gaze and he couldn’t help but hold his forehead. He was actually being sympathised and gloated by the once most famous trash of the Imperial Capital.
But looking at his betrothed’s disdainful, nasty face, he couldn’t help but want to wipe some tears of sympathy for himself as well…
He couldn’t help but assist Yun Ge last time because of their relationship, but now she was acting stupid again. He really didn’t have the heart to care about it anymore. After returning, he must properly mention it to the superiors of the Clan. It was best to annul this engagement.
“Lou Mu Yan, who can’t talk big? Then we’ll wait and see how you keep us from not even being able to touch Demonic Beast fur.” The young man sneered and said with extreme disdain.
Lou Mu Yan gave the two a like in her heart2—they sure knew exactly what to do! After completing the mission, the two days left would be filled with idleness and boredom. Since it didn’t really occur often that an opportunity to prank would arrive at the door by itself, she’d play with them a bit then.
“Alright! You two just prepare to pack your bags and return to the Imperial Capital after two days then.” Lou Mu Yan smiled devilishly and the arrogance in her eyes was undisguised.
“Humph, what big-talk. Just wait and see.” Yun Ge also couldn’t help but snort, turned around and dragged Ji Han Xu with the rest, leaving the icefield. She wanted to find Tier 5 Demonic Beasts before Lou Mu Yan and the others and let that woman lose face entirely.
The people from the other small team glanced at each other and followed. They were all Sword Spirit strengths, so if they wanted to successfully complete the task, they had to rely on Ji Han Xu.
Yun Zi Mo’s obsidian-like eyes were encircled with a layer of unidentifiable light. He took a deep look at Lou Mu Yan, addressed Yun Lan, then turned to leave.
However his route was the opposite of Yun Ge’s group. He had a feeling that if he followed Yun Ge, his mission would be difficult to complete.
After all the people who had intruded left, worry rose in Xiao Zi Ang’s eyes, “Lou Mu Yan, even if you want to help me retaliate against them, you didn’t need to boast so wildly right. If you let them kill a Tier 5 Demonic Beast, then we’d both lose our faces terribly.”
Although he said this, he didn’t have any intent on blaming her. On the contrary, there was an unprecedented excitement in his heart, as if he was going to do something amazingly terribly bad with Lou Mu Yan.
He didn’t know why, but when it came to Lou Mu Yan’s words, he actually felt a sense of unquestioning belief. He really was spending a bit too much time with this violent woman…
Lou Mu Yan looked at him askance as if he were an idiot, “You’re the only one that’ll lose face, it’s got nothing to do with me.” After a pause, she added, “Let’s go quickly. Don’t always think about playing dirty tricks, you still have to kill seven Tier 5 Demonic Beasts to complete the mission.”
“…” Xiao Zi Ang’s forehead was full of creases. Was it impossible to speak nicely now, it was obvious that she wanted to play dirty tricks to prank people, so what did it have to do with him. Not to mention, could she not always mention the seven Demonic Beast’s situation and poke his sore spots.
“You guys that have finished the mission, will you be going back first, or follow us to prank people?” A naughty smile rose on Lou Mu Yan’s lips.
Lou Mu Yan made it no secret that she was not a virtuous maiden, and she definitely wasn’t a good person. But such a straightforward temperament just so happened to be something the others appreciated.
“Since Mu Yan is so confident, we naturally have to go and join in on the fun.” Yun Lan revealed a light smile, and he couldn’t help but feel that his heart was dyed with a layer of joy as he looked at the woman in front of him with her bright eyes, lively and adorable.
Yun Jin loved to watch the excitement, so he blinked at Lou Mu Yan playfully and said with a smile: “They can’t touch Demonic Beast fur, but me, Zi Ang and Yi Xuan’s mission Demonic Beasts should be fine right?”
He and Xiao Zi Ang’s strength was at the bottom of the group, so they still had to kill four Tier 5 Demonic Beasts to complete the mission. Chi Yi Xuan still had two more, while the others had all completed their missions.
“Naturally. At the same time as making trouble, it’s also for you guys to quickly complete your missions.” Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at Yun Jin. He could even ask such a stupid question. Sure enough, after spending a long time with Xiao Zi Ang, his IQ was also dragged down.
“Lou Mu Yan, you’re sure loyal. When we return to the Imperial Capital, your brother, I, will look after you.” Xiao Zi Ang wanted to reach out to hang his arm around Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder to express that they were good brothers, but was deliberately blocked by Chi Yi Xuan.
“Let’s go too and find the Tier 5 Demonic Beasts before them.” Chi Yi Xuan said deeply.
He felt very uncomfortable right now. He was delightedly surprised that Lou Mu Yan once again shocked and amazed him, and kept attracting his gaze, making his heart beat uncontrollably. But at the same time, he also hoped to hide her deeply so that she couldn’t be coveted by other men.
The Tier 5 Demonic Beasts marked on Yun Lan’s map had basically been cleaned up by them, and the few that were left were rather far away.
Xiao Zi Ang couldn’t help but ask again, while walking: “How do we find Tier 5 Demonic Beasts without a map? Follow Yun Ge and the others?”
Then he immediately knocked his head and laughed, saying: “That’s right! We can follow them. The moment we encounter a Tier 5 Demonic Beast, we can just rush over and kill it first.”
“Do you think Ji Han Xu’s Sword King cultivation base is just a accessory?” Lou Mu Yan looked at Xiao Zi Ang wordlessly, “Besides, what we want to do is play tricks on them, so naturally they need to personally watch how we don’t leave a single fur for them. Do you think it’s possible to do that if we try to snatch and kill the Demonic Beast after following them?”
“Then what should we do? You must have some idea, right?” Xiao Zi Ang saw the brilliance in Lou Mu Yan’s eyes and knew immediately that this woman was plotting again. Luckily he wasn’t her enemy, otherwise he really would be played to death.
Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled in a dominating manner: “That’s only natural. Not only do I want them to be eliminated in the first mission, but I also want them to personally witness how we put all the mission items into our own pockets.”
Seeing her confident, gorgeous smile, all of them unanimously lit a candle3 in their hearts for those who offended Lou Mu Yan.
