Chapter 74:

A little brother your father bought

So What If I'm a Girl


In the morning, Lan Du's eyes trembled, she felt a slight headache as she slowly looked around. When she looked to her side, she saw Hui Yue beside her, sleeping soundly like a child.

Lan Du then remembered what she did yesterday and blushed as she covered her face.

'W-What the hell did I just do...' Thinking back on her kitten like actions, she felt more and more embarrassed about herself.

She then glanced at Hui Yue

"Sweet dreams, sis" She smiled and got off the bed

Lan Du tucked her blankets over Hui Yue and left the room silently, she heated some food from last night and prepared tableware.

The smell of the food drifted into the rooms and Hui Yue's nose lifted with the smell.

"Eh" She rubbed her eyes and sat up, seeing that Lan Du wasn't beside her anymore, she quickly got out of bed and walked out, following the smell.

"You're up" Lan Du turned her head and smiled gently

Hui Yue didn't reply, instead, she walked over and placed a hand on her forehead.

"Your temperature has gone down a bit, but it's still a bit hot" She said and dragged Lan Du into the room

She tucked her into bed

"Stay put, I'll go make some proper meals for you, you can't eat the ones you heated, it isn't good for your current body" She said gently

Lan Du tried to get up, only to be pushed down back into bed by Hui Yue

"Be a good girl and stay in bed" She tapped Lan Du's head and walked out

Lan Du for once puffed her cheeks and laid in bed silently

"It's just a light cold, nothing serious" She mumbled to herself, despite that, she still remained in bed without question.

Hui Yue then walked in with a bowl of porridge in her hand

"Eat up, after you finish, I'll go buy some medicine for colds" She sat down beside her and passed her the bowl.

Lan Du sat up and held the bowl

"No, you are not to leave, we are still not certain if there are people who know of your identity, if Yuan Min can identify you with a single glance, there are definitely more out there that can do the same, if you walk out there, you can forget about me staying in bed, I'll use everything I can to restrain you" Lan Du said seriously, she grabbed Hui Yue's hand

Hui Yue paused

"Then the medi-"

"I'll call someone to bring it over, it's just a cold" Lan Du ate the porridge and picked up her phone. She dialled a number and not even five minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

When Hui Yue opened the door, there was an unfamiliar person standing there.

"Who?" She was confused, but the young man passed a bag to her

"Boss called me to bring some cold medicine, tell him I'll train properly, ple-please don't punish me again, I-I'm scared to even take baths now because of what boss did" The young man trembled as he ran off

Hui Yue was speechless, she walked back in and passed the medicine to Lan Du

"W-Who was that" She pointed out the window and asked

"A brat that didn't do the assigned training I gave him, I'll forgive him this time since he brought the medicine quickly" Lan Du replied casually

"Then the punishment he was talking about?" Hui Yue asked questionably

Lan Du chuckled

"Oh, it's just a light punishment for those who don't do their training regularly, I just shove them underwater and if they try to poke their heads out, I'll shove them back under until they pass out, it's also a way to train their endurance, so I'm doing it for their own good" Lan Du laughed it off like a joke, but her eyes were dead serious.

Hui Yue laughed awkwardly, not knowing how she should respond to Lan Du's words

"Are you a devil?" She suddenly asked

Lan Du tilted her head

"How is that possible, if I was the devil, the punishment I'm giving them will become a reward" 

Lan Du snickered, but a smile rose to her face

"On second thought, that isn't a bad idea" She began giggling to herself

Hui Yue suddenly felt guilty, she pitied the people Lan Du was training and felt bad that she was the cause of the sudden increase in training.

She just watched Lan Du who was giggling to herself in a sadistic manner, not knowing whether she would be the cause of deaths amongst the younger generation.

"Just stay put in bed for now, take your medicine" She took out a tablet from the bag and passed it to her along with a cup of water.

Lan Du took the pill reluctantly and gulped it down with water.

"So bitter" She muttered

"Eh? You can't take bitter things? Heh" Hui Yue snickered when she found out about it, she poked Lan Du's arm as she giggled to herself

Lan Du began pouting

"It's just a cold, I'll be fine if I get up now"

Hui Yue flicked her forehead

"If you're bored, I can call over some friends for you, but you can't leave the bed"

Lan Du dug herself into the bed

"No, I can't have anyone see me like this, what would people think of me if I look so pathetic from a mere cold" Lan Du replied

"Ah, too bad, I already called over a lass, hm, Xie Jing I think" She held Lan Du's phone as she giggled at her. Lan Du's face became pale, she reached her hand for the window and attempted to escape.

Hui Yue laughed as she grabbed her

"Don't think about escaping, I called her when I was preparing the porridge, she should be here very soon" She laughed and pulled her into bed.

Lan Du struggled, at that moment, the door to the room opened, and two figures walked in. 


They stared at Lan Du and Hui Yue.


Lan Du whose hand was reaching for the window and Hui Yue who was holding her in the bed tightly. The room was suddenly filled with awkwardness as Lan Du slowly climbed back into bed.

"What a lovely day" Lan Du said with a straight face, pretending nothing had ever happened as she laid in the bed in silence.

Hui Yue turned to the two girls standing at the doorway, she then glanced at Lan Du and snickered

"You got quite the bargain, grab a girl, and you get the twin for free" She nudged Lan Du and laughed, she couldn't help herself as she held her stomach.

Xie Jing and Xie Ying nodded their heads and blushed, they then sat down beside Lan Du.

"How did he get sick?" They asked

Lan Du pointed at Hui Yue

"My sister is so much trouble to take care of that I gt sick when trying to get her to clean her room" Lan Du said with a serious expression.

"Eh, how is this my fault? You were the one who went and consumed something that increased your spiritual strength by a whole notch, how in the world is that my doing" Hui Yue slapped Lan Du's back and retorted

Lan Du turned her head

"I didn't think that consuming that spirit dew would cause this, I mean, the Karmic Dew was fine but the Spirit Dew gave me a symptom" Lan Du grumbled on and on about her dissatisfaction.

Hui Yue was baffled

"Spirit Dew? Karmic Dew?! Those are both treasures that are hard to come by, how in the world did you get them both? Especially the Karmic Dew" She shook Lan Du back and forth

"Ah, my sister is abusing me" Lan Du cried out weakly

Hui Yue froze and threw her back into bed and shoved blankets over her face.

"Go suffocate, you unbearable brother" Hui Yue then stormed out the room

Xie Ying and Xie Jing were left speechless

"L-Lan Du, was that your sister?" Xie Jing couldn't help but ask

Lan Du nodded her head and smiled

"She is quite the handful" She replied cheekily, she gave them both a smile and sat up "But she has quite the cute side"

Xie Jing and Xie Ying then glanced at Lan Du, she was sweating a bit and her clothes stuck to her body. They then stared at her in the eyes.

"H-How about we wipe your body" They asked shyly

Lan Du froze up

"No need, I can just take a shower" Lan DU rejected the idea immediately and shook her head. 

She stood up from bed and grabbed some clothes.

"You two wait for a bit, I'll wash up first, if you want snacks, ask my sister, she probably has some hidden away in her room" Lan Du chuckled and left the room

Xie Jing and Xie Ying glanced at one another, they then flushed red, thinking back on what they said to her. They put a lot of thoughts into asking and now felt embarrassed by what they said. But they felt somewhat regretful that Lan Du rejected them as well, despite the shyness.

Lan Du finished her shower , she looked down upon her chest which was bound tightly by the bandages and covering up her body. She then placed her hand on her throat.

"I need to cover up my throat soon, once people notice I don't have an adams apple, it'll be over" She muttered, she then held a dagger in her hand. She placed it to the side of her neck and placed it gently upon the skin.

Blood trickled down her neck, she then removed the dagger and washed the blood with water. After, she wrapped her neck up with bandages, some blood still soaked through but stopped 

as the wound wasn't deep.

'Though poison won't work on me, it should leave a scar on my neck when it heals'

She then dressed herself and walked out. When she walked out, the twins saw the bandages on her neck. They gasped and ran over to her side.

"Lan Du, are you alright? Why is there blood on your neck"

Lan Du smiled


"It's just a small cut" Lan Du said calmly, but before she could finish, the twins grabbed her and pushed her into her bed while covering her with the blanket.

"Wah, so aggressive, my little can't take this" Lan Du said mischievously, she had a cheeky smile on her face as she giggled.

The twins blushed as they covered her face with the blanket.

"Y-Your sister was right! Just go suffocate!" They cried out

Lan Du chuckled, she spent the next few hours talking to them to elevate her boredom. By the time it was dinner, her temperature went down, and she was completely fine. She invited the twins for dinner and sent them home afterwards.

She stepped out the building and wore her mask on her face. Her eyes shone under the moonlight as she smiled lightly, as she was about to leave, Hui Yue grabbed her arm.

"Where are you going this time? Last time you came back, you dragged the colonel back" She asked with a serious expression.

Lan Du placed a finger on her lips

"Sometimes, I need time to break a few bones to calm down a bit" Lan Du replied with a light smile as she walked off.

Hui Yue sighed and shook her head before heading back in. She didn't ask where Lan Du was going, but she knew wherever she went, someone's going to suffer.

Lan Du tied daggers to below her wrist and also beside her thigh. She headed to the mercenary guild and searched for a specific mission. Her eyes laid on one and a smiel crept to her face.

[Babysitter: CEO Lin's daughter,Fei Fei, requires high leveled teacher and bodyguard at the same time]

[Reward:50 million a day and 1 bottle of Spirit Dew if Fei Fei is satisfied]

Lan Du searched for any missions with spirit dew as the reward and this was the most promising one of them all, she scanned the mission and went to the front counter. The person gasped when he saw which mission she took and gave her an uncertain gaze.

"A-Are you sure?" he asked

Lan Du nodded, she didnt know why he was reacting in such a way, she then heard whispers from behind after she accepted the mission.

"The devil just accepted the taboo mission"

"Who do you think would come out on top? The devil or the demoness?"

"I'm betting on the demoness, not even a dragon rank was able to handle her when they accepted the mission, her standards are too high!"

Lan Du rubbed her chin and walked over

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about this demoness" She smirked and sat down beside the group.

The group shuddered

"Ah, erm, the lass of CEO Lin sets a high standard for her tutor and bodyguards, few people are able to match that standard at all! If she is unsatisfied, she would do everything she can to ruin that person, my good friend took that mission since the pay was good, but it took him weeks of therapy to get over it" He shook his head and sighed

Lan Du grew curious

"That lass sounds quite intriguing, so CEO Lin is osmeone who pampers his daughter" Lan Du chuckled and walked out, she walked into the night and followed the path to where the mission is held.

But she was surprised when she arrived in front of a mansion, she expected it to be a less obvious place since it was also a protection mission, but she shrugged her shoulders and stopped outside.

"I'd like to enter, I'm the ercenary who took on the ababysitting mission" Lan Du said calmly, the guard took out a small scanner and scanned her bracelet.

[Identity confirmed:Little Devil]

He then let Lan Du in, as Lan Du walked, she saw numerous camperas around, some were hidden and some were in plain sight. When she entered the mansion itself, she felt a strong pressure press onto her. Lan Du turned and saw a middle aged man, he had a delicate face and didn't seem that old.

"You are the new mercenary? You look a bit too short" He said lightly

Lan Du chuckled

"I'm short, but I make up for it with my skills, though I'm curious, are there requirements for heights as well?"

The man shook his head

"If you can walk up to me, you may begin your job as her tutor and bodyguard" He said and the pressure on her grew stronger.

Lan Du walked slowly, her steps weren't heavy, in fact, she seemed rather relaxed. The man lifted his brows as he watched Lan Du approach.

She tapped his arm

"I'm here" She said mischievously

The man smiled

"Not bad, though you're the first who dared to touch me"

Lan Du raised her brows

"Oh? And who might you be?" She asked

"Who am I? I'm your employer" He replied with a smile

Lan Du froze, she let out a few awkward laughs and scratched the back of her head.

"Erm...my pay won't be cut, right?" Lan Du asked, she was shocked, he was CEO Lin! Kuang Lin!

Kuang Lin chuckled and shook his head

"My daughter is in her room, now, let's see if you can even make it in, if not, you may leave as you've already failed if you cannot enter her room"

Lan Du nodded her head

"so...which one is her room?" She asked

"The pink door" He replied

Lan Du looked around, and saw one of the rooms upstairs, she walked up the stairs and 

knocked on teh door gently.

Kuang Lin watched attentively

"Daddy?" A sweet voice rang from behind the door

Lan Du giggled

"No, give another guess" She said sweetly

CEO Lin, stared at her with an interested expression, why is she acting as if the girl knows her?

"Hm, I never heard this voice before, who are you?" The voice became a bit stern, Lan Du could tell the person on the other side was definitely older than her.

"I'm a little brother your father bought at a cheap price" Lan Du replied mischievously

Kuang Lin almost tripped when he heard her, a lttle brother he bought?! What did that even mean!
