After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 410: Way of Plunder

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Way of Plunder

Shi Yiqing, the world’s female protagonist in this story, was exploited by the Heavenly Dao, promoted on the corpses of cannon fodder.

An Xiaoya, on the other hand, was attached to supernatural phenomena.

According to what An Xiaoya said, it was her "dream" of the past.

Obviously, she, the female lead, was also being controlled.

She said she did some irrational things for the Ghost King, which she clearly wouldn’t do when she was lucid.

But she did them in her "dream."

This could prove that the Heavenly Dao’s arranged female protagonist isn’t that keen on being with the male lead.

After all, not everyone has the awareness of being the "female lead."

For those who climb on top of others openly and see no problem with it, Shi Yaoguang wouldn’t comment much.

The only thing to say is...

emmm...

Forget it, she doesn’t want to say anything.

Since they were bound to face off anyway, it was truly unnecessary to worry about such vexing issues.

Awkward.

After Shi Yaoguang had internally scorned the Heavenly Dao’s female protagonist, her opinion of An Xiaoya became a bit more approving.

Although An Xiaoya was also a Heavenly Dao’s female protagonist, she was quite different from Shi Yiqing.

Just for that temperament, Shi Yaoguang would also accept her.

When An Xiaoya heard Shi Yaoguang say she was willing to take her along, her face lit up with a smile, "Really? Thank you, Master Shi!"

After speaking, she revealed an expression of "great expertise," "Don’t worry, Master Shi. Following you, I definitely won’t disturb you."

Shi Yaoguang initially didn’t catch on to her meaning.

Until she saw her winking and gesturing.

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

Feeling slightly helpless.

After thinking about it, she explained, "I’m going to Mobei to look for something, it’s not what you’re thinking."

An Xiaoya replied with great expertise, "I understand, I get it all."

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

Suddenly felt like not taking her along anymore.

Ignoring the smirking An Xiaoya, Shi Yaoguang simply gave up on explaining to her and turned to leave.

The little broken sphere, however, was left to An Xiaoya.

Before departing, she left An Xiaoya a message about the sphere’s function.

"This little thing isn’t very useful, at most it’s like a bit of accumulated prophecy."

Upon hearing this, An Xiaoya almost failed to catch the sphere, nearly smashing it on the ground.

The chairman and Shen Antai wore expressions of horror and amazement as well.

Just this, and it’s "at most" "a bit"? Isn’t prophecy impressive enough?

Shi Yaoguang did not provide an answer to this question, and if they had asked, she would not have been stingy with her response.

Whether prophecy is impressive or not can be discerned by its association with a bunch of odd Magical Treasures.

If it were truly awe-inspiringly impressive, it would have been enshrined by now.

Fortunately, the little broken sphere had prepared its heart; having enjoyed the "supreme" treatment under Shi Yaoguang’s care, it sighed like a pig when it looked back.

But no matter.

An Xiaoya was still pretty good to it.

After a "deep communication," the person and sphere were quite satisfied with each other and could be said to have preliminarily reached a cooperative relationship.

...

Quan Mansion.

Shi Yaoguang packed some essentials and, ready to depart for Mobei Desert, took along Quan Jinbei, who was like a super-sized burden.

The butler, seeing Quan Jinbei’s health deteriorating day by day and always sighing with a frown, was very troubled.

Now, hearing that Shi Yaoguang intended to take Quan Jinbei to Mobei, he was quite perplexed.

"Madam, all was well, why suddenly decide to go to Mobei?" he said, halting mid-sentence as he looked towards Quan Jinbei with deep worry in his eyes.

Quan Jinbei coughed lightly, addressing the butler, "Don’t worry about me, she will take care of me."

Listening to his rightful tone, Shi Yaoguang nodded in agreement.

"Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him."

After she spoke, she waved to the butler, "We’ll be back in about a month."

Hearing this, the butler’s anxiety deepened.

Eh.

Even just going out for a day, he worried that the third master wouldn’t hold up.

Now Madam was taking him away for a whole month, his heart truly couldn’t settle down.

However, the butler also knew that Shi Yaoguang was no ordinary person.

If she were just an ordinary person, she wouldn’t have been able to ease Quan Jinbei’s symptoms before.

After some thought, he decided to trust Shi Yaoguang.

...

For this trip to Mobei, Shi Yaoguang was accompanied by Quan Jinbei and An Xiaoya.

An Xiaoya had known in advance that Shi Yaoguang wanted to go to Mobei for Quan Jinbei and would take her along.

But she never expected that there would be only the three of them.

Whether she was a third wheel was one thing, but...

Three people walking on the road, it seemed quite unsafe.

A sick man and two weak women.

A setup that could easily go south—was this really okay?

As it turned out, An Xiaoya’s worries were not unfounded.

After they took a plane to Mobei, they encountered their first danger of the journey.

No sooner had they entered the city than a group of fierce-looking hoodlums, armed to the teeth, stood in their way.

"This... this road is mine!"

"This... this tree was planted by me!"

"If... if you want to pass! Leave... leave behind the toll money!"

A man with a black eye patch over his left eye threw his large machete to the ground with a ferocious expression.

If it weren’t for the cliché lines of the robbery.

If it weren’t for the stammering...

It might have actually been somewhat convincing.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs.

An Xiaoya couldn’t help but retort, "Big brother, there aren’t even any trees here."

She was telling the truth; the area was completely barren, not to mention trees—there wasn’t even a blade of grass.

The gangster who spoke seemed embarrassed.

He glanced at his boss and exaggeratedly winked and gesticulated.

Probably meaning to say...

Boss, what do we do now?

The lead boss glared at him with a speechless look, then said, "Cut the crap, and rob them!"

The stuttering man followed up, "Don’t don’t don’t stutter... hurry, hand over the money!"

Listening to his disjointed threats that took forever to get out, An Xiaoya pursed her lips and mocked again, "When you rob people, can you switch to someone else to speak?"

The stuttering man, feeling insulted by the words, widened his eyes in disbelief, "What, what did you say?"

An Xiaoya shrugged, "I’m just giving friendly advice; a robber should look the part. The way you guys are doing it... it really loses face, doesn’t it?"

The stuttering man’s face turned red with anger.

He picked up the large machete and swung it toward An Xiaoya.

An Xiaoya didn’t expect him to strike and reflexively took a defensive stance, throwing the symbols she had prepared in advance.

Whoosh—

After a swooshing sound, the stuttering man moved without any hindrance, the machete looming over An Xiaoya as he let out a sinister laugh.

"Little girl, tired of living, huh? Daring to make fun of me?"

Upon hearing this, An Xiaoya instinctively was shocked, "So you don’t have a stutter?"

The stuttering man: "..."

Damn, this is just infuriating!
