Chapter 1022 - Reforms (1/2)

In the early morning, Yang Xiaojin passed by Anning East Road carrying her basket. Although it was almost summer, Stronghold 144 was seemingly brought back to early spring due to a sudden drop in temperature. A thin fog had filled the air, and the ground was a little wet.

But today was different from usual. As Yang Xiaojin walked down the street, she noticed the passersby could not help but look at her.

She knew very well why this was so. People were even whispering on the sidewalk as they tried to explain her status to the unaware.

Yang Xiaojin smiled. Whenever other people mentioned her, the most commonly used words they used to describe her were ”Future Commander” and ”Future Commander's wife.”

In the past, she was a sniper who evoked fear in people and an independent lone wolf. Now that she had a prefix added to her name, she found it rather interesting.

Of course, both Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin knew very well that they were still individuals.

However, Yang Xiaojin's smile soon disappeared.

As a supernatural being, she was destined to have a better sense of hearing than normal people. Although it was not that much better, it was still enough for her to hear the discussion five meters away.

A passerby muttered, ”All of you are looking at her. Why? Who is she?”

The passerby was a little puzzled. Although the girl in the ballcap had an elegant air about her, one could only see her nose and chin when they walked past her from the opposite direction. So everyone was probably not attracted by her beauty, right? It should be because her status was a little special.

A passerby in the know whispered, ”Don't you know who she is? She's the legendary Queen Mother of the West…”1

Yang Xiaojin's expression darkened. What kind of weird nickname was that? If she found out which culprit gave her that nickname, she would probably gun down that person with her black sniper rifle.

She did not expect that she would have to bear the burden of this unwanted nickname at her young age.

The passerby in the know was still saying with gusto, ”It's a little tacky to address her as Future Commander's wife, but Future Commander will succeed Commander Zhang to become the ruler of the Northwest sooner or later. So there's nothing wrong with calling her Queen Mother of the West. Besides, you've also read the superhuman rankings publication. The combat power of our Queen Mother of the West is very high as well.”

Yang Xiaojin took a deep breath and headed straight to the market. She decided not to continue listening to the rest of the conversation.

There were a variety of nicknames in the Northwest Army, such as Qin Shihuang, Cleanser of the Altars, and so on. And today, Queen Mother of the West was added to that list as well.

When Yang Xiaojin arrived at the market, all the stall owners who used to greet her enthusiastically remained silent. It was not that everyone was afraid of Yang Xiaojin or hated her, but they suddenly did not know how to treat her with her new status.

Moreover, talk had been going around recently that Ren Xiaosu was living off his woman. Thinking about it now, they even found it a little embarrassing.

It wasn't until Yang Xiaojin started shopping for groceries as usual that everyone eventually breathed a sigh of relief. Ms. Xiaojin was still the same old her.

While shopping for groceries, a few stall owners insisted on giving them away for free. But Yang Xiaojin managed to get them to accept payment after much persuasion.

However, Yang Xiaojin also made it very clear to the stall owners that they would probably be staying here for some time. If they did not accept payment from her for their groceries, she would probably not come and buy from them anymore in the future. At that time, Ren Xiaosu would have to starve.

These words tickled the stall owners, but they did not dare to laugh and could only accept the payment.
