Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Chapter 306: The Duke of Zhenguo and Anilan

Before Anilan could go in to see what was going on, he heard Lou Xiao's voice.

"Why are you running around instead of taking a good rest?"

Knowing she was coming, Anilan swaggered in, sat down at the table, and ate heartily without any courtesy.

"What's the point of resting in a carriage? I won't take a bath unless you ask me to."

She smiled as she tiptoed towards Lou Xiao's bathroom.

"You guys are just picky. It's only a short distance, how can you be tired?"

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Behind a screen, Lou Xiao's figure slowly put on loose clothes and walked out with her hair half loose.

The woman, covered in moisture, had a lazy look on her face, and her thin clothes were wet by the water droplets from her hair. She walked towards Anilan step by step.

Only at this moment did Anilan really feel the reality of her high position.

Ordinary people in the martial arts world cannot escape this aura.

Anilan put down the pastry in his hand, sensitively noticing that she seemed unhappy.

"I'll eat a little of your food, is it necessary to have a gloomy face?"

She stood up while mumbling, only to see Lou Xiao pouring her a cup of tea and taking a sip slowly.

"It's not about you." Lou Xiao explained briefly, "I'm in trouble as soon as I come back. It's really not a happy thing."

She had never had a gloomy face in Nanzi, but at this time she no longer looked like a gangster.

"Aren't you the biggest here? If anyone dares to cause trouble for you, just chop him off with your sword."

Anilan's idea was simple and crude. As the future high priestess, no one would cause trouble for her in Nanzi anyway.

"If only things were that simple." Lou Xiao drank the rest of the tea and placed the cup on the table.

Anilan confirmed that she was not angry with him, and sat down to continue eating.

"By the way! When we first got off the carriage, was the man who helped you up your shoulders your man? I thought he was pretty good."

Lou Xiao regained consciousness and her expression softened. "Are you talking about Lou Hong? He is the young master of the mansion and helps me take care of all the affairs."

"Then I--" Anilan looked at her meaningfully with bright eyes.

Lou Xiao said seriously, "I don't care who you like, this is the capital, don't bring disaster to Nanzi."

After hearing this, Anilan felt bored.

"If you had told me earlier that coming to the capital would not allow this or that, I wouldn't have come. I don't feel comfortable at all."

If you say you can't come, then you won't come?

Lou Xiao lowered her eyes, let the rest of her hair down, and waved for the servant to come and help her with her makeup.

Anilan didn't really want to leave. He still remembered the man he had seen before.

If she wants to leave, she must succeed before leaving to be satisfied.

So he put away his dissatisfaction, took a fruit and ate it on the couch next to Lou Xiao.

A servant was combing Lou Xiao's hair gently, while another servant came in with new jewelry.

Waiting for Lou Xiao's selection.

Anilan exclaimed "Wow" in shock, propped himself up and stared blankly, his eyes fixed on the place.

Lou Xiao saw Anilan's appearance through the mirror and asked with a smile, "Why? Do you like it?"

"What are these? They are so pretty!"

Anilan circled around the jewelry box held by the waiter, liking it very much, but never touched it.

She knew very well that she was no longer in Nanzi.

"Some ordinary jewelry. If you like, ask them to put it on for you after you wash up."

The servant who had just combed her hair had already complained to her in a low voice.

The guest refused to wash or change his clothes.

Lou Xiao didn't force Anilan to wear anything, but at least it had to be clean.

At least when you take her to the palace tomorrow, it shouldn't be too shocking to the eyes.

Anilan was still stubborn, "It's still worse than our Nanzi's - but if you insist, I'll give it a try."

Lou Xiao didn't indulge her and stopped talking.

Anilan looked left and right, and the fruit in his hand no longer smelled good. His eyes always fell on the ornaments.

He wanted to save face but refused to ask for it, waiting for her to give it to him.

But Lou Xiao knew it clearly, but just didn't say anything.

Anilan could only watch with resentment as she was helped to put on her new clothes and put on her gorgeous and heavy hair crown.

There was also a green jade bracelet on her wrist, half hidden between her cuffs embroidered with lotus patterns.

Every move he made was like a completely different person.

Anilan looked at her in silence. This was the first time in his life that he had seen the wealth of the Central Plains.

Even though she didn't understand many things about it, she knew it was rare and valuable.

At least she saw no one dressed like this on the streets of Beijing.

"Come with me to the palace tomorrow to see the emperor. I need you to do something."

Lou Xiao said,

Anilan came back to his senses instantly and raised his chin proudly.

"what's up?"

She actually didn't understand where she was going, she just knew that Lou Xiao needed her help with something.

"I have a good friend who may have been poisoned by Nanzi. The imperial physician has no cure, so I have to ask you for help."

"That's easy. There's no poison that Nanzi can use that I don't know." Anilan added, "Except yours."

Lou Xiao raised her hand to wave away the waiter. When she was dressed up, her face was expressionless and a little cold.

When there were only two of them left, Lou Xiao said, "I can't tell anyone about the poison in my body."

She hadn't figured out how to ask her senior sister yet, and she was afraid that if she told anyone about this, someone would use it to cause trouble.

"Okay." Anilan nodded readily, but she would never work in vain. She talked about her own advantages.

"I can help you, but you have to pay me."

Lou Xiao blinked, "What do you want?"

Don't you want Lou Hong? If he knew about this, what would Lou Hong's expression be?

But Anilan did not do as Lou Xiao expected, and made a request that surprised her.

"I want silver! Five hundred taels!"

She had seen how rich this guy was. Anilan felt that what she wanted should not be expensive and would be enough to cover her expenses in Central China.

The air was quiet for a few breaths before Lou Xiao digested her words. He didn't know whether to say she was innocent or simple.

Five hundred taels may be a lot for Nan Zi, but for her and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the capital, it is not a large sum.

"it is good."

Lou Xiao nodded in agreement.

Seeing her quick answer, Anilan added,

"And help me find that guy—the one I saw before, a good-looking, strong man."

Lou Xiao explained to her, "You can look for him, but whether you can win his heart is your own business.

I don’t help people do things that force them.”

Anilan shook her hair, "Of course I can, I'm the most popular woman in Nanzi, the future high priestess!"

She believed that there was only one short-sighted fool like Li Huaiqing.

"When we meet, you don't have to do anything. Just watch me take him down!"

She saw clearly that there was no other man in this house.

She may not be as good as him in martial arts, but as for men——

She is very confident!
