17 - An Insistent White Rose

Chapter 17: An Insistent White Rose

One day morning, the city is buzzing with busyness. Normal people do their daily transactions. Buying, or trading. Chatting and gossiping. Until...

"Look! Something is written in the bulletin with a bold character! It says: 'Seriously? 50,000 gold coins above my head? Why is it so cheap? If you want me to show myself! You have to be better than that! Keep the price higher and I'll consider to show myself!' Yours truly, White Rose." The people around were on uproar after hearing what's written on the board.

That White Rose is so shameless!

Insisting or demanding to increase the price in her head! Isn't she afraid? She's talking about her life here! This madwoman must be taking her life as a joke!

She's simply too arrogant!

But who is White Rose anyway? She's a person who killed 10 official in ten consecutive days! Those official are also with a higher level of cultivation! 4th Star! In this city, only the number 1 genius reach the ninth-level of cultivation.

In this Ying Yue continent, only him had reached that level. Only Prince Ao! Even the Emperor is afraid of him, cause if he made a move towards Prince Ao, the number 1 genius will definitely exterminate him! After all Prince Ao was never a citizen in this continent.

"What? White Rose really write those?" The Emperor said, doubt written on his face. There are many people who are smart enough to use White Rose name just to have a higher reward.

He cannot decide hastily on this one. The needs of the populace should come first. And he was also thankful that White Rose killed those unscrupulous officials. Now, his work has lessened. In the first place, he was planning to exterminate those officials who did wrong deeds behind hid back.

"You may leave." He said. When the guard disappears from his sight. The Emperor immediately called the eunuch, he spoke in a low voice.

"Go and passed this to the General. They need not worry finding White Rose."

"Yes, Emperor. This subject will leave first."

The Emperor had never intended to capture White Rose. He just wanted to soothe the emotion of those official's family. And he's not the one who put the bounty on White Rose' head but the Emperor had a person in mind, and that is the master of the Nalan Clan.

He heard that Princess Yue was attacked by White Rose and killed three of her trusted maid even losing her face because she pissed her dress. Oh, and one more thing, he heard Princess Yue was badly beaten by a new student! What bad luck does she have!

"My beloved wife, are you tired? I can escort you to our chambers." The Emperor had a loving gaze on the Empress. This is the only woman he loves and the only woman in his harem. Although many officials wanted him to take some concubines he coldly refused. He is the Emperor, and only his words weigh. If he follows what the prime ministers and other officials say, then he's no better than a dog following its owner's orders.

In his mind, he doesn't want to hurt the woman he loves. What he wanted was to make her happy. That was his promise to her.

"Your majesty, I'm not tired. Our children's birthday is coming soon. Tiredness was never been in my vocabulary."

"My wife, why are you calling me like that? I'm your husband. You're my own person. You're not like those people. Don't call me like that again or else I'll throw a tantrum."

The Empress laughed and hug the Emperor. She was very worried that some woman will climb up to his bed, at first, she thought they would have a separate room to sleep in and she never thought that the Emperor already take consideration to build a room for the two of them. And, she's the only woman that the Emperor married! There's no Emperor who only married one wife! She was grateful that she was truly treasured by her beloved man!

In the mountain where Li Wei lives. As usual, today, she was eating her snacks of sweets while drinking her green tea.

There was unspeakable happiness circulating in her clear and golden eyes. Her lips splitting into a wide grin.

When it was dawn, she secretly writes a letter in the bulletin to show her dissatisfaction. She wasn't happy that her life is only 50,000 gold coins! How cheap can they be? Even an ordinary family in her world can bring out 50,000 golds. Is this Ying Yue continent so poor? How depressing if it is!

"My lady, you seem to be in a good mood!" Meimei spoke happily when she saw her lady having her leisure time and a huge smile hanging on her lips. She was truly happy!

The smiley girl that was indulged by her stepmother until she was 8 had completely vanished. Replacing it with a cold and frowning face. She had never smiled after that. Seeing her smile like this almost made Meimei'd burst into tears.

"En. I've had made the townsfolk know my dissatisfaction about the 50,000 gold coins. It's losing my face with that small amount of gold!"

"Eh?" Meimei was completely speechless. But still, her lady had the right to demand more. After all, in their original world, her bounty was over a million, that 50,000 gold coins were simply too cheap!

"If they want White Rose to show up, they should rise up the price!" Li Wei said. She was really not satisfied at the price in her head.

"If they didn't, then White Rose won't appear!" With a 'hmmp' she entered her room to cultivate.
