Chapter 40:

Lan Du the trickster

So What If I'm a Girl



Lan Du then covered her mouth and looked around at the faces staring at her.She tilted her head and then said to them in a threatening manner:

”none of what I said goes or I will have an occupation as an assassin as well”she said with a dark smile

They all nodded and didn’t dare refute her. It they still felt a sense of sorrow in He when she said it.They cold tell, she is holding back her emotions.

"Today will be my last day since i still have classes to attend"Lan Du added calmly, she took a few deep breaths in to restore normal breathing and calm her heart.She then felt a sudden killing intent burst through the window.But unexpectedly it wasn't targeted towards Feng Yan!

Lan Du glanced and the dagger was aimed at...her!

She quickly moved to the side and avoided the lethal blow towards her head.The dagger would have sliced her head off if not for her quick reaction speed.She grabbed the arm that held the dagger and attempted to throw him to the ground.

But the other hand came down and grabbed Lan Du's wrist.She clicked her tongue and released her hand before umping back.

'The information was faulty, the young man was stronger than we expected'The assassin thought

Lan Du took out her dagger and dashed at the person, she slashed with the dagger and continued to slash after it missed her target.Her every slash cut off any counter chances of the person, forcing them back to a corner.

"What the hell are you people standing there for!Get lost before you get in my way!"Lan Du roared

Lan Du placed one hand into her pockets before taking it back out, but the strange thing was that there was nothing on her hand so the assassin was confused.The Feng family glanced at Lan Du, Feng Yilin had his wife and children retreat while he and his brother stayed.

"Why the hell are you still here!"Lan Du shouted, she turned back and pounced at the assassin.

"We must help remove the problem"Feng Zhe said

Lan Du clicked her tongue and grabbed the assassin's wrist once again.

"It's over"She said

Feng Yilin and Feng Zhe then ran up towards them, preparing to land a fatal blow on the assassin when the assassin suddenly dropped to the ground.

"Give it up, the poison will sap all strength of a man, as for women, you don't need to know"Lan Du pulled out a needle from the assassin's arm.

"y-you dare use such trickery...urgh, so hot"The assassin muttered

Lan Du was shocked

The voice...Feng Yili and Feng Zhe came up and stood behind Lan Du

"Hand him over to us, we will take care of him"Feng Yilin said

Lan Du shook her head

"Apologies, but I cannot, I have a few words for this assassin"Lan Du said and tied up the assassin.The assassin struggled and his breathing was heavy.

"Little Devil, we hired so you can help us kill the assassins, we cannot let you take him"Feng Zhe said

Lan Du glared at him and snapped her finger, Feng Zhe suddenly collapsed onto the ground

"Did you think I completely removed the poison in your body?You two best behave yourself, another useless word and I cripple him"Lan Du said coldly

"You!"Feng Zhe pointed at Lan Du and shouted

"Shut up!Fine, take him, but tell us, will you let him live?"Feng Yilin asked

Lan Du chuckled

"Are you kidding?I have always been bored and have nothing to do, now I have a toy I can use as a meat bag, why should I let it die?"Lan Du's eyes was that of cruelty and no remorse.

Feng Yilin sighed, Lan Du was too frightening

"Alright, take him"Lan Du's gaze seemed serious, he pitied the assassin in fact.He could have had a quick death yet now he fell into the hands of a demon.

Lan Du turned back

"I handled this assassin, unless he has a partner, there shouldn't be any more for today so I will take my leave"Lan Du carried the assassin out the house and walked down the streets.She caught a lot of attention but people chose to ignore it as she had a viper rank badge on her chest.

People knew the mercenary guild well so they also knew that badge.Everyone assumed its probably an inured ally or someone she captured for a mission.Of course, since the mercenary guild never gives missions that violates the law, they didn't look deeper into it.

Lan Du stopped outside a run down shop and entered.

"Boss, I'll buy this shop, name your price"Lan Du said

The man at the counter glanced over

"1 million is enough"He said lazily

Lan Du took out her bracelet and scanned the counter

When the 1 million was transferred, the man was shocked, he smiled and quickly packed up his belongings

"Happy to do business with you"He said and left happily, he never expected anyone to buy his shop so he was overjoyed with happiness.He gave the contract for the land to Lan Du before leaving.

Lan Du carried the assassin into the shop staff room and placed him down.

"Damn..."Lan Du clicked her tongue and untied the assassin.

"so...hot..."The assassin struggled around

Lan Du frowned

"To think the assassin...was a girl, sigh"She rolled up the assassin's sleeves and removed her mask.There was bindings bellow her cloths to prevent her chest from getting in the way of assassination.But on her forehead was a strange mark.

Lan Du placed her hand on the mark and injected her spiritual strength in.A strong force propelled her back and the strange mark shattered.

"To think someone used an illegal slave mark on a lady, damn society, forcing it on the girl because they have no status"Lan Du frowned and stood up.She stared at the girl's face.

She was very well trained and had a mature look.Her breathing was still heavy and her face was flushed red.

"snap...the poison, dammit, I didn't think she was a girl so I used it"Lan Du scratched her hair and walked around.

The girl grabbed Lan Du's wrist and pulled her in.

"so...hot"She huffed and held Lan Du closely

Lan Du sighed, she struggled but realised she couldn't get out of her hold.

'What the hell!How is she so strong!'Lan Du struggled more but her efforts was in vain

The girl pinned Lan Du down to the ground and stared at her with fuzzy eyes

"h-help me"She muttered

Lan Du sighed, she removed her mask and grabbed the girl's face.

"I can't believe this is how I lose it"Lan Du muttered and kissed the girl on the lips.The girl's eyes widened before she closed her eyes and fell unconscious.

'Thank goodness I had knockout drugs in my mouth, but damn, I lost my first kiss like this...'Lan Du felt aggrieved but sat up.She held the girl up and carried her to a room with a bed.

The shop she bought was a small massage inn so there was some beds.She placed the girl on the bed and touched her lips.

'It didn't feel too bad, pity it was with a stranger'She thought to herself and licked the side of her lips.

She sat down on a chair next to the bed and played on her phone as she waited.Time passed slowly and the girl on the bed slowly woke up.Her eyelid twitched and opened up.She squinted her eyes before completely opening them and looked around.

"You're up"She heard a voice and saw a pretty boy at the age of 12 next to her.

"Who are you"She muttered, then her memories flushed back as she held her head in pain.

"you, you-you kissed me!"She held her mouth and stuttered after a bit

Lan Du put her phone away and leaned in close to her face

"Miss, you're the one who forced yourself onto me, if not for the fact that I had knockout drugs hidden in my mouth, I would have lost more than just my first kiss"Lan Du said with a hint of embarrassment

She then pointed at the girl's forehead

"Who placed the slave mark on you?"She asked

The girl placed her hand on her forehead and tears suddenly rolled down the side of her face.

"It's gone, it's finally gone!"She teared up and sniffled

Lan Du sighed and rubbed her head

"Miss, tell me what happened"Lan Du said slowly, her voice was gentle and kind

'To train her into such a strong fighter, she might be stronger than most seniors at the academy'Lan Du thought to herself

"I-I don't know..."She shook her head and said

Lan Du sighed

"Doesn't matter, now, compensate me, I gave away my first kiss to knock you out"Lan Du muttered

"b-but aren't you the one who fed me the aphrodisiac?"She replied

Lan Du paused

"Who would have expected you to be a girl?"She said calmly

The girl smiled

"You are much more mature than you look, now that I have nowhere to go, I can only ask you to help me once again"She said

Lan Du tapped her fingers

"And why would I do that?"Lan Du retorted

"Because you too, stole my first kiss"She tapped Lan Du's head and smiled

Lan Du snorted

"I'm shameless enough to say I don't know you, why would I be worried about that?I lost big time myself"Lan Du said without shame

The girl was speechless

"You really speak from the heart"She said helplessly

"Funny, I could have sworn I spoke from my mouth, but eh, shows what I know about the human body"Lan Du shrugged her shoulders and said

The gir shuddered

"Do you get beat up a lot?"She asked

Lan Du laughed

"I have only ever given out beatings, I have never received one yet"She laughed

The girl tilted her head

"Yet?"

"I'm arrogant, someday, I'll kick the metal plate and get beaten for my arrogance, but for now, I will enjoy it to the best of my abilities"Lan Du said without care

She seemed extremely carefree and relaxed as if she is expecting a loss in the future.The girl looked at Lan Du in confusion.

"You're a strange person"She said

Lan Du chuckled

"Now that we have that out of the way, tell me your name"

"I am Hui Yue"She replied

"Not afraid I'll sell you off somewhere?"Lan Du smiled and asked

"No, since you saved me, its either you want something or you find me useful"She replied

Lan Du smiled

"Girls thats too smart won't be liked, but you're wrong, I saved you because you're a girl, very few girls can get much stronger because of unfair treatment, their resources are usually cut and they lose precious growth time"Lan Du sighed

"What does all this have anything to do with you?"she asked

"Because I have two little pumpkins, I know your suffering from them, they were treated as mere objects where the boys place their lust on, they're not seen as proper people"Lan Du replied

"And how will I know you're not using them for your lust either?"Hui Yue asked

Lan Du pinched her cheeks

"Don't ask too much, you can live in this shop while I'm at school, I'll send supplies everyday 

and I'll buy some technologies s you won't get bored, just don't leave on your own"Lan Du said

"Alright, but to think a boy younger than me is taking care of me"Hui Yue laughed to herself as Lan Du left

Lan Du placed a hand on her forehead and sighed, she walked back to the academy at a slow but steady pace.Her mind would constantly flash back to the kiss.

'hais, lets hope the twins don't catch wind of it'

She smiled bitterly and headed back to the academy.She removed her mask and heard laughters from within.There was shouts and music playing and a small sized mech as well.

'Is there a festival going on?I didn't see all that 3 hours ago'Lan Du thought to herself

She walked in and wondered around.There was many food stalls and merchandises.There was also entertainments such as plays or games.

"Oh, I didn't know this academy had such a pretty boy"Lan Du heard someone speak and turned to see him walking towards her.

He was surrounded by girls but the girls had an uncomfortable expression on their faces.The young man had a perverted look as he held them.

Lan Du frowned

"Piss off, I'm busy"She said and turned around

The young man grabbed her by the arm

"Don't run off yet, how about we have some fun"He licked the side of his lips and said

Lan Du felt disgusted

"Damn g*y, if you wanna rub your disgusting face on someone, go do it in the back alleys, I'm sure there will be plenty of guys looking for you"She said coldly

"Oh, hot headed I see, I like it"He smiled and approached Lan Du

Lan Du's eyes grew cold, she grabbed him by the throat and clenched it

"urgh"The young man struggled

Lan Du sneered

"h-harder"The young man said, his breathing was heavy and his face was flushed

'?!?!?!'

Lan Du was shocked, she quickly released her grip and jumped back

'damn, it was a freakin M!I messed up big time!'She turned her head and ran off

She may be a sadist but that was only when the other party was suffering.What she was most afraid of was masochists that enjoy her beatings.

"Wait, don't run, give me more!"She heard his shouts from behind, his breathing got heavier and his face was flushed.He ran after her hastily.

Lan Du began freaking out

'crap!'

She began running even faster, but then, she caught sight of someone she knew.

'hehe, Qui Shan, good luck'She thought to herself and ran up to him.

"Qui Shan, mind if you help me with something?"Lan Du patted his shoulders and asked

"Sure, what is it?"He asked

"Well, someone wants to spar with people, but today I feel tired, can you spar with him for me?"She said lightly

Qui Shan pondered

"Sure"He replied

A sly smile appeared on her face.Soon, the young man from before came up to them.

"I found someone better for you, you see this one here?His strength is one of the top amongst his class and his spiritual strength is also over 200"Lan Du said and pointed at Qui Shan who had a proud look on his face.

The young man glanced at him

"Will he do a better job that you?"He asked heavily, his face was reddish and breathing was abnormal.

Lan Du nodded

"Of course"She said

Qui Shan was confused, why did the young man in front of him seem so weird?Lan Du then patted his shoulders and smiled.

"Qui Shan, go spar with him, he has high defence capabilities so I didn't bother, but I'm sure you can do it"She said slyly

Qui Shan nodded

"Alright, lets spar"He said and turned to the young man

"State your name, we will begin afterwards"Qui Shan stated arrogantly.

"Oh, I feel excited, I'm Shuang Nan"The young man replied, his breathing got heavier and heavier by the second

Qui Shan felt a chill and had a bad premonition.

"I-I'm Qui Shan"He said with uncertainty

Lan Du gave. sly smile before waving them goodbye.

After a few minutes, Lan Du heard Qui Shan's shout from the distance

"Lan Du!You tricked me!You bastard!"

Lan Du laughed and went to buy food.
