Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 140: Chapter 140 Pitiable

Big Bull accidentally made a noise, almost alarming the two people inside. Xuexue got somewhat angry, kicked Big Bull in the foot, and turned to leave.

Xuexue turned out of the alley and entered the bustling street, heading straight for her stall.

“Madam, Madam, wait for me.” Big Bull chased after her breathlessly from behind.

Xuexue walked quickly ahead without a word, feeling somewhat angry.

“Madam, what exactly did I do wrong? Did I make you angry?” Big Bull pitifully followed behind and asked. Xuexue had suddenly become angry and even stepped hard on his foot, he genuinely didn’t know what had happened.

Xuexue thought about it and realized that this fool was not all there mentally, he didn’t even know what he had done wrong, so why waste her energy being angry at him?

“I’m not angry, I just want to hurry back to the stall to get something.” After thinking it through, she grabbed his hand and walked on.

“Really?”

“Mhm.”

As they were about to reach the stall, two men looking like officials walked past them, chatting as they went, and their conversation caught Xuexue’s attention—

“Eh! Have you heard?”

“What’s up?”

“The Ghost King of our Moli Country, who had immense power, mysteriously disappeared along with several of his men after hastily leaving the capital some days ago. I heard The Emperor is anxiously searching for him, saying that alive or dead, he wants to see the body.”

“How could they search for him? I heard the Ghost King is so hideous, he always wears a green-faced and fanged mask, and hardly anyone has seen his true face.”

“That’s right, otherwise he wouldn’t be called the Ghost King. But, he is also our Moli Country’s protective deity, nothing can happen to him.”

The two officials chatted as they walked and slowly passed by.

Xuexue paused in her steps, turning around to watch the backs of the two officials, lost in thought.

“Madam, what’s wrong? Let’s go.” Seeing her standing still, Big Bull pulled vigorously at her sleeve, trying to move her along.

“Oh!”

Coming back to her senses, she walked on.

In her past life, this Ghost King of immense power had disappeared during the same period, and later, to ingratiate himself to her, the Crown Prince Zhang Ruixuan told her that The Emperor was behind the disappearance. The Emperor feared the Ghost King’s rising influence would overshadow him, so he sent a Gold Medal Assassin again and again to hunt the Ghost King, hoping to eliminate him.

“Madam, Madam, we’re here.” While Xuexue was lost in her reverie, she walked past their destination without realizing it, and Big Bull hurriedly pulled her back.

“Oh!”

Xuexue paused in her step.

“Xuexue, what were you thinking about? You walked right past and didn’t even notice, luckily Big Bull was here,” Auntie Zhang said laughingly.

“It’s nothing, I was just thinking about what to buy for the house,” Xuexue found an excuse off the top of her head.

“Hmm! That’s true, the New Year is coming up, it’s time to start preparing the New Year’s goods. Even though we’re poor, poor people have to celebrate New Year’s too,” Auntie Zhang nodded in agreement.

After getting back her item, Xuexue and Big Bull roamed around; whenever she saw something she liked, she bought it without worrying about carrying it. After all, Big Bull was her strongman.

Without realizing it, they filled a basket with candy, seeds, rice, flour, and various seasoning items.

“Big Bull, let’s go buy some pork. It’s almost New Year’s, we can’t just eat wild vegetables every day,” Xuexue said, dragging the burdened Big Bull excitedly towards the market meat section.

“Sure!”

With a shoulder yoke balanced on his shoulders, Big Bull followed along easily. Xuexue wanted to buy pork, and he couldn’t wait.

Indeed, who could bear to eat wild vegetables every day?

“Shopkeeper, how is this pork sold?” At a pork stall, Xuexue pointed to the half-fat half-lean pork and asked.
