6 SHAMELESS (1/2)

Wei Xia Ri was your average modern woman. She decided that it was her own right to find herself a husband of her liking no matter how cornered she was. Time was ticking and the emperor has sent a servant to send her his 'imperial greetings' early in the morning.

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 anticipation.

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 leadership!

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 passed 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 whore 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 assassins 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 assassination 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---
