Chapter 485: Ants

Wu Xuan was a princess of the Tianli Kingdom.

The other two young girls who lived with her were also daughters of prominent families from the Hailing Kingdom.

The inner - sect disciples might not be interested in their things, but among the outer - sect disciples, there were many from poor or ordinary noble families.

Wu Xuan was quite a beauty. The things she had used were scorned by the high - ranking aristocrats, but it didn't mean they had no market.

Zhao Shuning's voice was very loud as she hawked.

Before long,

More and more people gathered around the Moon - watching Courtyard.

There were also occasional bursts of applause.

Seeing her purse getting fatter and fatter, Zhao Shuning's smile grew broader.

She couldn't be blamed for this. She had always had a soft spot for beautiful women, but a shrew like Wu Xuan, with a naturally vicious heart, was someone Zhao Shuning couldn't bring herself to like.

Wu Xuan had a long conversation with Xia Qingyan.

When they returned to the Moon - watching Courtyard, they saw the entrance was crowded with people.

Those people looked at her with strange looks when they saw her coming.

Some of them obviously didn't notice Wu Xuan's arrival and were having a heated discussion in front of Zhao Shuning's stall.

"Have you heard? These things were all used by the princess of the Tianli Kingdom."

"Of course I know. The things discarded by the wealthy families might still hide some treasures. This time, we're here to pick up some bargains."

"However, I also heard a piece of news. The real treasures of Princess Wu Xuan were all given to the young prince of the Hailing Kingdom. But it seems that the young prince isn't interested in her."

"I knew it. Every time she saw us, she always looked down on us. But as soon as she saw Xia Qingyan, she would shamelessly try to get close to him."

"Exactly. After all, she is a princess of a country. She shouldn't disregard the dignity of the Tianli Kingdom."

These words, of course, all reached Wu Xuan's ears.

Wu Xuan's face darkened.

When she saw the things in Zhao Shuning's hands, her anger got completely out of control in an instant.

"Come on, come on. This is the most intimate bellyband of Princess Wu Xuan. Those who want it, hurry up. The starting price is only five spirit stones."

"Are you kidding? There are stains on this bellyband. How can you sell something like this, Miss Luo?"

Zhao Shuning was holding the bellyband with gloves.

She lowered her head and, sure enough, found that the bellyband was a bit dirty.

It was really strange that Wu Xuan, who looked so glamorous on the outside, could make her bellyband like this.

"That's what makes it worth bidding for. It means this bellyband hasn't been washed since Princess Wu Xuan wore it."

"Tsk tsk tsk—"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and some people even covered their noses.

"Luo Feiyan, you're looking for death."

Zhao Shuning was still talking to others when suddenly a whip appeared in front of her eyes. The whip was aimed at her face.

Out of instinct, Zhao Shuning dodged it at an extremely fast speed.

When she saw who it was,

Zhao Shuning gave a knowing smile.

She gently pushed the stall to one side.

The smile on her face remained.

"Today, I'm in a good mood. You can take whatever you want from this stall. I don't want your spirit stones or silver."

Then, the crowd rushed to grab the things.

Zhao Shuning stood aside with her arms folded, watching.

Wu Xuan was blushing with anger. Those things were the sundries she had placed in Luo Feiyan's room. What right did she have to dispose of them?

"Get out of the way. I'll see who dares to take them!"

The long whip lashed out. Everyone quickly covered their heads with their hands.

There was no pain on their bodies, and the whip didn't fall either.

Zhao Shuning teleported in front of the crowd and gently caught the slender whip with her right hand.

Everyone was stunned and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"I said you can take these things, and you can."

"Luo Feiyan, those are my things."

"They are the things in my room. They don't belong to you."

Zhao Shuning turned around and said to the crowd, "Take the things and leave quickly."

The crowd scrambled to grab a lot of things in a hurry. Then, when they got up and were about to leave, they said to Zhao Shuning, "Miss Luo, are you okay? Do you want us to call the young prince to help?"

"No, no. You just leave."

The crowd fled in a hurry, afraid that Wu Xuan would hold a grudge against them.

The things used by the princess were all of high quality. After washing them clean and selling them on the black market, they could fetch a good price.

That money should be enough for a poor family to live on for half a year.

After the crowd dispersed, Wu Xuan could finally move her body.

What was going on?

Just now, she clearly wanted to stop those outer - sect disciples, but in an instant, not only could she not move, but she couldn't even speak.

After Wu Xuan could move,

Zhao Shuning let go of the whip.

Wu Xuan, who wasn't prepared, almost fell.

"Luo Feiyan, what did you say to those people?"

Zhao Shuning ignored her and walked straight inside.

"Luo Feiyan, you dare to slander the royal family of the Tianli Kingdom. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Zhao Shuning stopped walking but didn't turn back.

She retorted, "Did I say anything to them? I just said that I saw you standing with Xia Qingyan. Xia Qingyan looked impatient, and you were in tears. Those things about your confession being rejected were all imagined by everyone. What does it have to do with me?"

"You!"

"Wu Xuan, you should calm down. This is exactly the same as when you said that I disappeared with the young master of the Dongzhou. Everyone speculated that we had an affair. Look, I didn't even come to settle the score with you."

"You? How dare you compare yourself with me?"

By this time, both Wu Xuan and Zhao Shuning had entered the Moon - watching Courtyard.

Zhao Shuning turned around.

She said with a faint smile, "Why not? Do you have an extra arm or leg? Or is your status much nobler than mine? Wu Xuan, although you are a princess of the Tianli Kingdom, don't forget that my Ruoqiang Marquis Mansion can also be regarded as part of the royal family. I, Luo Feiyan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Mansion, am not half as lowly as you."

Wu Xuan's look at Zhao Shuning changed.

After disappearing for five days, she had completely changed.

"Mingyue, Caixia, you two close the door."

Wu Xuan's eyes turned venomous.

The two accompanying girls immediately turned around and closed the courtyard door.

Zhao Shuning raised her right eyebrow, and a look of disdain flashed in her beautiful fox - like eyes.

Wu Xuan said, "I don't know why you came back alive, but if I could kill you once, I can kill you a second time."

Zhao Shuning tilted her head and said, "Are you sure?"

"What?"

"You can kill me?"

Wu Xuan sneered.

"Although your performance in the competition on the stage today really surprised me, a useless person like Qing'er wouldn't last five moves in my hands. Even if you've gained some spiritual power, in my eyes, you're still just an ant."

Zhao Shuning smiled.

She took a step forward.

"Really?"

The air pressure was incredibly powerful.

"Who, who are you?"

"I'm Luo Feiyan from the Marquis Mansion. Authentic and reliable."
