I'm Not the Young Lady's Dream Girl - [Vol. 1] Chapter 2
[Vol. 1] Chapter 2: Friendly Transactions
After a while, Yinyue finally arrived at the trading location.
“Why do trading spots always have to be in such eerie places?”
“Couldn’t they find somewhere with a nicer environment?”
“What if my clothes get dirty?”
“It’s such a hassle to clean them up.”
Entering the dark room, two burly figures stood inside dressed in black.
“Where’s the goods?” one of the black-clad figures spoke.
Straight to the point, thought Yinyue, placing the briefcase on the table.
“This is what you want. Now, what about what I want?” Yinyue inquired.
Upon hearing Yinyue’s question, the two figures took out an exquisite box. Opening it revealed a silver ring nestled inside.
Yinyue gazed at the ring, confirming it was what she desired.
“Now that you’ve confirmed the goods, let’s proceed with the…” Before the black-clad figure could finish, Yinyue summoned her light sword and swung it towards them.
Yinyue never intended to complete the transaction from the start. She only used the Xiao Group’s crystal she stole for this moment. She will return the crystal to her young lady after this transaction.
The things she wanted were right in front of her. Why bother completing the deal when she could just eliminate them and take what she wanted?
She knew this organization was not for anything good.
Moreover, they were after the Xiao Group’s crystal, which was likely to be detrimental to the Xiao Group. She didn’t want to trouble her young lady.
For the safety of her young lady, Yinyue had to deal with them.
Just as the light sword was about to cleave the two figures in half, a hand engulfed in flames intercepted it. Yinyue looked over to see a red-haired girl with flames burning all over her body standing in front of her.
“You two, hurry and leave!” Without a second thought, the two black-clad figures dashed out, not stopping until they were far away.
“Huff… huff… I’m so tired, Nana. Let’s rest for a while,” the two figures had now transformed into beautiful girls.
“No, it’s not safe yet, but I can carry you,” Nana bent down and lifted Wei’er onto her back.
Watching Nana carry her, Wei’er couldn’t help but drool. She hadn’t expected to have such intimate contact with Nana. Hehe (?^?^?).
“Wei’er, Wei’er! What are you thinking about? You’re drooling all over me.”
Seeing Nana’s unusual expression, Wei’er quickly wiped away her drool.
“Nothing… really.”
“Really? I don’t believe you.”
Seeing Nana’s skepticism, Wei’er quickly changed the subject.
“Speaking of which, is Chixia really okay? Sister Yinyue’s strength is really formidable. What if Chixia gets taken down by Sister Yinyue?”
Looking back now, it was really close earlier. She almost got taken down by Sister Yinyue. It was terrifying to be enemies with Sister Yinyue.
But as a teammate, Sister Yinyue was incredibly trustworthy and reliable. She never wanted to take on a mission where she had to act as Sister Yinyue’s enemy again.
“Don’t worry, Wei’er. Miss never intended for Chixia to defeat Yinyue. Chixia just arrived recently, and Yinyue doesn’t know her. Plus, Chixia’s strength is quite decent. That’s why Miss sent her. Miss has always had a backup plan.”
Wait a second, something didn’t seem right. She felt like she had been misled. Nana realized belatedly. At that moment, Wei’er took the opportunity to get down from Nana’s back and kissed Nana on the cheek.
“Nana, come chase after me quickly, or I’ll run away.”
Wei’er made a face at Nana and then dashed off, showing no signs of exhaustion like before.
“Wei’er, you dummy!” Nana, catching on, chased after her.
Meanwhile, elsewhere…
At the trading location, the original building had vanished, replaced by ruins. Upon the ruins, two figures, one red and one white, continued to clash.
“You’re quite skilled. It’s a bit of a waste to stay in that organization. Would you be interested in joining another one? The benefits would be much better.”
*Bang!* The two collided once again.
“No need.” Chixia replied coldly.
Yinyue clearly wanted to recommend her to become the young lady’s Shadow Guard, but she was already a member of the Shadow Guard. Could it be she expected her to join again? Chixia complained inwardly.
“That’s a real shame. I’ll have to get a bit serious now.”
As Yinyue’s voice fell, the power of her light sword became stronger, and her attacks became even faster.
Chixia attempted to counterattack, but faced with Yinyue’s storm-like assault, Chixia gradually found herself overwhelmed.
Her body started to show signs of wounds. Both being A-class ability users, it was the first time Chixia had been in such a sorry state against someone of the same level.
Recalling the last time she was in such a sorry state, it was when she was young, and her mother spanked her with a feather duster. No, even her mother wasn’t as harsh as this.
Didn’t the young lady say that Miss Yinyue was very gentle?
Why was she hitting so hard?
Chixia wanted to cry but couldn’t.
It was her first mission, and she was being beaten so badly.
How could she maintain her dignity in front of her colleagues when she returned?
How could she uphold her aloof image?
Seeing Chixia in a daze, Yinyue punched her.
“Ow~”
Chixia’s cheeks turned red, and she covered her chest with both hands. Tears welled up in her eyes, making her look like a bullied kitten. This was just too despicable.
“The feel… cough cough, it’s a bit hot to the touch, but I didn’t expect you to play quite extravagantly, actually…”
“Don’t say anymore!”
Chixia was incredibly embarrassed. Even though they were both A-class, nobody could touch her with just their bare hands when she was enveloped in her ability flames.
Previous enemies either turned to ashes before touching her or suffered severe burns. She didn’t expect Yinyue not only to touch her but also to cause only minor burns.
The difference in constitution between individuals, no, between A-class ability users, shouldn’t be this large.
Was Yinyue really A-class? Her ability was more towards S-class.
The two found themselves in a stalemate, an awkward situation. Yinyue couldn’t believe what she had just done.
As a maid, I really lost my composure.
It was such a stain.
What if the young lady found out?
It seemed like I would have to kill to keep it a secret.
Yinyue wielded her weapon again and charged at Chixia. However, this time, she was determined to deliver a fatal blow.
It was not about dignity anymore.
Instinctively, Chixia let out a cry for help.
“Senior, save me!”
( ????????? )
At this moment, Yinyue’s shadow began to distort, and a dagger lunged toward her.
“Trying to sneak attack? Not even close.”
Facing the sudden assault, Yinyue immediately dodged to the side. She transformed her light sword into a bow and arrow, aiming at the shadow attacking her.
*Whoosh—*
In an instant, several silver arrows pierced through the shadow.
“Darn it, it’s a decoy!”
The shadow pierced by Yinyue was just an illusion. Moreover, just now, Chixia had disappeared as well, attempting to escape under her watch?
Not so easy.
Yinyue quickly used her ability, and soon the moonlight obediently followed her call, converging into arrowheads, guiding her direction.
“Hmph, trying to escape? Not so fast.”
Yinyue glanced at the briefcase. Perhaps it’s better to have someone deliver this crystal back.
What if her Miss gets anxious?
After contacting the person to handle the delivery, Yinyue, with the aid of her ability, swiftly ran towards the direction they escaped.
Did I forget something strange?
Oh well, never mind. Let me catch those two stray rabbits first.
At this moment, a certain ring was pressed under the ruins.
“Senior, are we safe now?”
Chixia, wearing a somewhat loose coat that seemed like it could slip off with a gentle breeze, walked cautiously, still holding it down. Her cheeks were flushed like ripe apples.
“Not yet, and she already knows which way we ran. She’ll probably catch up in a few minutes.”
Hearing this, Chixia panicked, “W-what do we do now?”
“Don’t panic. The young lady has prepared something for us.”
The shadow opened the suitcase, and there was only a tape recorder.
( ?°?°) !!
Seeing that their last resort was just a tape recorder, Chixia was dumbfounded.
She hadn’t expected to face death’s door on her first mission, and her aloof image in front of her senior was shattered.
Sensing Chixia’s thoughts, the shadow placed a hand on her head.
“Don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll take the blame. You just run when the time comes.” The shadow gently stroked her head.
“Senior—” Chixia hugged the shadow tightly, bursting into tears.
“Ah! Don’t hug so tightly! My coat, my coat fell off!”
