Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 62 - 44: Alliance of Wicked Women
Chapter 62 - 44: Alliance of Wicked Women
After burying Xiao Chu, Xiao Ya remained silent, following Yue Jinghua.
"I helped you eliminate Imperial Uncle Luo, and you helped me find the Ancient Xuan Beast Egg. With this, we are even," Yue Jinghua stopped in her tracks.
"Please lend me a hand in destroying the nightclub and assassinating Lady Yao. If I accomplish one of these tasks, Xiao Ya is willing to serve the lady for ten years. If both are accomplished, Xiao Ya is willing to call you master and follow you forever," Xiao Ya hated no one more than those responsible for separating her from her sister in life and death—the nightclub and Lady Yao, even more than she abhorred the treacherous Imperial Uncle Luo.
"Follow me? Do you even know who I am? If I harbor the same intentions as Lady Yao, wouldn't you be escaping the tiger at the front gate only to invite the wolf through the back? Moreover, do you really think that just the two of us can overpower Lady Yao and the nightclub? Xiao Ya, you are too naive," Yue Jinghua retorted sarcastically, yet a hint of interest flickered in her eyes.
To kill Lady Yao? That also means going against the nightclub. Xiao Ya knew it was a difficult task, but after today's events, she was left without a way out.
Xiao Ya lifted her head, looking directly at Yue Jinghua, "You can concoct Elixir Pills that even Lady Yao cannot. You devise ingenious plans, like the assassination of Imperial Uncle Luo. Among all the guests I have met, only you have treated me as a person. I. Trust. You." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
The young lady who has been through life and death had grown substantially. At this moment, she hesitated no more, her voice was resolute, and her eyes were no longer lost.
Transformed overnight, she is like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, determined to soar to the skies.
The nightclub is a place rife with human greed and carnal desires. Those who enter only fall into two categories: one targets only the special treasures, indifferent to all else, whether people or events.
The other kind, like Imperial Uncle Luo, is filled with depraved and lascivious thoughts.
Yet this guest with the surname Yue was different, she appeared indifferent, but treated everyone with kindness. In her eyes, there were no distinctions between people like Lady Yao or Xiao Ya; everyone was equal.
"I treat you as a human being because I know all too well the taste of being looked down upon," Yue Jinghua said before she took off her mask.
Trusting those you use; not using those you doubt. What Yue Jinghua sought was precisely Xiao Ya's statement, "I trust you."
After seeing the Yin Yang ghost face beneath the mask, Xiao Ya's mouth was wide open in shock. Polo City's number one worthless Yue Jinghua, this couldn't be a dream, could it?
Xiao Ya had seen countless people but had never met a customer like Yue Jinghua who could generously give away a True Dark Pill. She could also, with a joke and a laugh, make one's life worse than death.
Imperial Uncle Luo was the perfect example.
How could such a person be considered worthless?
Xiao Ya suddenly flashed a smile, her eyes twinkling spiritedly.
Everything was understood without words, the two young girls exchanged a knowing smile, each clear about the other's intentions.
That night, Yue Jinghua took Xiao Ya and stealthily returned to Lie Family Mansion.
As expected, Hongling and Shalman were both waiting in Yue Jinghua's room.
In the daytime, after they had dispersed from the ceremony, following Yue Jinghua's covert instructions, Hongling had sent Yue Chen and Shalman back to the mansion and also made up an excuse on behalf of Yue Jinghua to deceive Lie Rou.
Seeing Yue Jinghua bring back Xiao Ya, neither of them showed much surprise.
"Hongling, how many Elixir Pills are left in the Dan Xuan Card I gave you? Exchange them all for Gold Coins. I want to buy a pharmacy in the city and have Xiao Ya manage it," Yue Jinghua said, the idea of opening a pharmacy had actually been brought up by Xiao Ya on their way back.
Within Shang Kingdom, there are only two places dedicated to the alchemy business: low-level Elixir Pills are managed by Lie Family Mansion, while slightly higher-level Elixir Pills are under the nightclub's control.
Having stayed in the nightclub for nearly a decade, Xiao Ya was well-versed in the inside operation channels and the clientele. Coupled with Yue Jinghua's formidable Alchemy Technique, Xiao Ya was confident in successfully managing a pharmacy.
From Xiao Ya's recounts, Yue Jinghua gradually learned some of the nightclub's dirty secrets. For instance, the price of the True Dark Pill she auctioned was suppressed by forty percent, and Lady Yao secretly mixed some fake True Dark Pills with the real ones, to deceive customers.
The nightclub's position in both Polo City and the broader Shang Kingdom was largely tied to their Elixir Pills. Numerous mercenaries and Martial Artists had been lured by Lady Yao's concoctions.
Xiao Ya also shared with Yue Jinghua other sneaky undertakings of the nightclub. As far as she was aware, every country had the presence of a nightclub, with the operation led by different individuals, without interference among them.
