The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 267: Don’t Bite the Hand That Feeds You
With this thought in mind, Jun Ning swaggered her way into the Black Market, and then unexpectedly, she ran into the Eldest Prince.
Jun Ning: "......"
Enemies are bound to meet!
Seeing the Eldest Prince walking toward her in the distance, Jun Ning instinctively turned her head to leave, hoping to avoid being seen by him. But then she remembered she had already disguised herself today, so he wouldn’t recognize her. She stopped her turn and calmly continued forward.
Jun Ning looked like a little old lady, a far cry from her previous adorable and innocent appearance, so naturally, the Eldest Prince wouldn’t recognize her.
However, the Eldest Prince did have quite a sharp tongue.
He saw a hunched little old lady heading toward him, someone he had no connection with and didn’t know at all.
Yet he suddenly stopped in his tracks, crossing his arms in front of his chest, looking down at the old lady with a face full of mockery, and said, "There are more and more ugly sights in the Black Market these days. I didn’t used to run into such dwarfs. Now I just step out and encounter them, hehe..."
Really an eyesore.
Jun Ning silently retorted in her mind, "You’re the ugly one, you’re the dwarf."
The Eldest Prince wasn’t finished. He saw the old lady passing by him, who obviously heard what he said, yet showed no reaction, making him even more disdainful inside.
He continued, "Even the only silly sister in my house is taller than you!"
Jun Ning: You you you.........
One can be killed but not humiliated.
Jun Ning was too angry to speak.
After mocking her, seeing that the old lady still didn’t react, the Eldest Prince felt bored, shrugged his shoulders, and walked away.
Jun Ning really wanted to hit him, he just called her foolish?
He’s the fool! His whole family is foolish!
Pah pah pah, what was she saying? She was really pissed off.
His whole family is her family too. She can’t curse his whole family, only him.
He’s foolish himself. Hmph!
Jun Ning grumbled to herself as she walked towards the place she had in mind.
The Black Market is vast. Wanting to buy a spot to build her own base was easy. In just a short time, Jun Ning had extravagantly purchased a large mansion measuring about 1,500 square feet in the eastern block of the Black Market.
The yard was big, the decor wasn’t lavish but decent. The layout was of an average courtyard style, suitable for many to live in.
With some modifications, the open spaces could be transformed into many training grounds.
After paying the silver coins and getting the deed, Jun Ning smiled with satisfaction.
She finally had her own place.
Next, she needed to go to the human trafficking area to buy a few people to temporarily help manage the house, clean up a bit, and have a place to relax and have some tea whenever she visits.
Outside the Black Market, human trafficking is illegal. But within the Black Market, it is perfectly normal. The Black Market’s boss reportedly has deep connections, allowing the Black Market to operate outside government jurisdiction.
As Jun Ning wandered near the human trafficking area, enemies met again, she damn well ran into the Eldest Prince once more...
The more you don’t want to see someone, the more often you see them. The more you want to meet someone, even if both are in the same place, just a hundred meters apart, you won’t see them.
Looking at the Eldest Prince picking people, he seemed to be planning to buy some from the Black Market.
"Even the imposing Eldest Prince buys people here?" Jun Ning tutted a few times, "Isn’t he supposed to be a military general, straightforward and disdainful of keeping such trafficked humans? Why is he here buying?"
Jun Ning sighed softly a few times, shook her head. Not wanting to pay any attention to him, she continued selecting her own people.
She and the Eldest Prince were obviously picking people in different sections, one in the east, the other in the west, logically they shouldn’t meet. However, they still ran into each other and both saw each other.
The two stared at each other with disdainful looks.
Jun Ning speechlessly turned away from the Eldest Prince’s gaze and continued to look at the person at her feet she had her eye on.
This person was a man with disheveled hair, filthy all over. He was locked in a giant iron cage, his head hung low, his face unseeable, but he seemed to have suffered severe injuries with a heavy bloody smell.
Jun Ning curiously approached him, examining his wounds.
These wounds weren’t simple. There were dozens of knife marks, each deadly.
Yet this person miraculously survived?
Is it really just luck?
No, behind every seemingly coincidental event, there is a human cause.
With the vigilance of an assassin, Jun Ning believed this person was not ordinary and must be very skilled. If she bought him, it would definitely be a bargain.
Jun Ning found the seller, pointed to the disheveled man in the cage, and said, "How much silver for this person? I’ll buy him."
The seller glanced disdainfully at the man in the cage, then at the ragged little old lady in front of him, questioning, "... Beggar, do you have money?"
"......" How did she become a beggar? Besides, would she ask if she didn’t have money? She’s not stupid, Jun Ning said speechlessly, "Rest assured, I have money."
"Fine, fine, it’s just a loss anyway, can’t expect much. I’ll just be kind, make a small profit and sell him to you!" the seller said, "Seeing you’re shabbily dressed and a dwarf, making money can’t be easy, so... two silver coins... no no, I’ll sell him to you for just one coin!"
The seller offered a very low price.
Jun Ning doubted her ears, "......"
One silver coin?
"Old, sir... are you sure you’re not mistaken!" This person is definitely worth more than one silver coin, someone who knows value might not sell for less than five thousand coins.
The seller was getting impatient, "Are you buying or not? If not, get lost."
"Buying, buying..." Jun Ning hurriedly pulled out a silver coin from her sleeve for the seller.
The seller readily gave Jun Ning the indenture and even offered to help transport the person to Jun Ning’s place.
Jun Ning chuckled awkwardly, "... Then I’ll trouble you!" Today was really the day when the heavens rained pancakes on her!
Having witnessed the whole process of Jun Ning buying the man, the Eldest Prince coolly remarked after Jun Ning paid, "Little old lady, how foolish of you to buy a dying man?"
This person’s breath was extremely weak, quite noticeable to a martial artist.
The Eldest Prince had already concluded this person wouldn’t live and buying him was a waste of money, even just one silver coin.
"What’s it to you?" Jun Ning shot back.
"Little old lady, I’m just kindly reminding you, don’t be a dog barking unnecessarily," the Eldest Prince said harshly.
