Chapter 36: An Ambush

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Luo Qianqian didn’t wake up till late the next day.

Luo Qianqian felt like she might as well make full use of the tablet that she asked from Prime Minister Luo, so this day she went out with Xiao Yue to do some shopping.

‘Isn’t it wonderful that I now have all the time and all the money in the world?’

She stepped out of the gate and asked people where the business area was.

She finally arrived at where the hustle and bustle was for the first time since she was reincarnated in this dynasty. It was such an eye opener, different stores stood on either side of the street, jewellery stores, fabric stores, restaurants and even pet stores.

Luo Qianqian was overjoyed, this time she didn’t need to do window shopping, she shopped from store to store, she bought a lot of outfits for her and Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue followed her lady and carried a lot of bags, “My lady, are we done today?”

“What’s the hurry, let’s get some snacks.”

Luo Qianqian paid a young page to send what she just bought to Prime Minister Luo’s mansion.

Along the street, Luo Qianqian heard a lot of hearsay about Master Lingtian, a lot of people compared Master Lingtian with Prince Eighth.

Some said Master Lingtian’s martial arts cultivation was higher than Prince Eighth’s, while some others argued, “how old is Prince Eighth now, and how old is Master Lingtian now, he is in his forties, it’s an unfair play just comparing them two.”

There were also some people felt sorry for Prince Eighth, “Prince Eighth is not doing well, he is suffering some Frigid Poison, maybe he cannot fight in the battlefield any more.”

Hearing all these discussion, Luo Qianqian didn’t say anything.

Luo Qianqian now entered a pet store.

Cats, dogs, birds, beasts, and also some other unknown animals.

The owner greeted Luo Qianqian, “Young lady, how are you, what pets are you looking for? Come take a look, we have it all here.”

Luo Qianqian chuckled softly, “Is that so? Do you have phoenix?”

“Young lady… please watch it! Phoenix? That’s royal animal! Shush, young lady, before anyone hears of what you just said.

The owner was in great shock, he continued, “Even there is phoenix in the world, I wouldn’t dare… I wouldn’t dare… …”

Dragon had always been a symbol of the emperor, phoenix had always been a symbol of the empress, how dare a civilian capture a phoenix! That was no difference than courting death.

“I’m just kidding.” Luo Qianqian argued, she forgot she lived in ancient times where there were a lot of taboos.

A little black puppy caught Luo Qianqian’s attention, it was looking at Luo Qianqian with its eyes sparkling and tails wagging.

When the puppy saw Luo Qianqian was looking back, it woofed happily.

The owner stepped in with a smile, “You’ve got a great taste young lady, this is such a cute puppy, if you like it, I can give you a great price.”

Luo Qianqian was fond of this puppy, but thinking of her record of keeping plants, she hesitated…

She figured she’s better not keep this puppy… …

“How adorable!” Xiao Yue exclaimed, she would like her lady to keep the puppy so she continued, “Look, my lady, this puppy is so fond of you, look at the puppy wagging its tails at you!”

The puppy woofed louder and wagged its tail harder as if it had understood Xiao Yue.

“I’m just looking.”

The owner became a bit pushy, “Take your time young lady, it looks like this puppy really likes you a lot, that’s so precious, how about this, I make a deal for you, a tale of silver and this puppy is yours.”

Xiao Yue exclaimed, “A tale of silver? For a puppy?”

Luo Qianqian landed her eyes on the owner’s hand, she was a bit surprised the owner’s hand was covered with a thick layer of cocoon, there was also a blade scar on his right forearm, the owner looked more like a martial arts cultivator rather than a businessman.

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, why a businessman looked more like martial arts cultivator?

She rose from the puppy and told Xiao Yue it was time to leave.

Luo Qianqian swept across the street, she just realized it became very quiet suddenly.

Even though everyone looked like they were minding their own businesses, but Luo Qianqian could feel a lot of stares from them.

Something was going on!

Luo Qianqian happened to meet the owner’s eyes, Luo Qianqian now was more certain that these people were coming for her! This was an ambush!

Xiao Yue was still playing with the puppy.

Intense killing intents were in the air along with a breeze.

Luo Qianqian looked around, she saw a passerby was hiding a sword behind his back.

There were about a dozen of them, a dozen of strong manly man, and Luo Qianqian had only got Xiao Yue on her side with her.

Luo Qianqian tried so hard to pretend she hadn’t noticed anything, she went to Xiao Yue and hold the puppy, the puppy suddenly looked at the owner and barked loudly.

Luo Qianqian picked Xiao Yue up from the ground and pushed her away, “Run! Now!”

She asked Xiao Yue to leave while she was surrounded by them.

Xiao Yue had no idea what was going on, she turned back and what came to her sight was her lady being surrounded by a group of men.

“No, my lady!” Xiao Yue ran back.

Luo Qianqian retorted her, “Run! You cannot help me here.”

Luo Qianqian was saying that on purpose, she wanted Xiao Yue to run and to be safe.

Xiao Yue wailed, she didn’t want to add any more burden to her lady.

These man only wanted Luo Qianqian, so they didn’t run after Xiao Yue.

“Who are you people?” asked Xiao Yue with indifference.

“People who are going to kill you.” the pet store owner replied.

Luo Qianqian gritted her teeth, she was just gonna give it all and leave the rest to Heaven’s will.

‘It must be Luo Yuyan and Luo Keer, they surely want me to die.’

Luo Qianqian kicked a man on the wrist and took over his sword.

“Come show me what you have got.” said Luo Qianqian, no fear could be seen on her face.
