Chapter 803 428: I Want to Be a Heroine!
In the cellar of Yuzhu Manor, the Jade Pearl Heroes were discussing the fate of Aunt Xue of the Leopard Pattern.
Mo Sect Elder Li Mofei was dead, and his mistress had lost her most significant role.
Keeping this woman here and constantly providing her with food was quite a hassle.
Feng Ling'er suggested, "Why not just kill her to save on food?"
Hearing this, Aunt Xue, who was happily eating some leftover food and had just found a piece of meat, was startled, thinking to herself, "How can this woman be so vicious!"
Ziyu contemplated, "I think her body is quite strong, maybe she could come with me to dig ditches."
Duan Yun said, "That's actually a solution, make her do the hardest work."
Feng Ling'er pondered, "But she's called Aunt Xue of the Leopard Pattern, said to be as quick as a snow leopard, with a high and haughty spirit. If she finds a chance to escape into the mountains, it would be troublesome to find her."
At this moment, Aunt Xue of the Leopard Pattern couldn't sit still anymore and quickly retorted, "I won't escape. Everyone knows no one can escape Young Hero Duan's demonic, uh, heroic grasp! My man is dead, and I've learned my lesson, I don't have the guts to escape, stop thinking about killing me."
"It seems your awareness is quite lacking compared to the Purple Jade Female Knight. She thinks of reform, you only think of killing, taking the easy way out."
Hearing this, Feng Ling'er's chest swelled with anger, "Look at this, she even dares to drive a wedge between us female knights, her intentions are impure, she can't be kept."
Ziyu couldn't help but say, "I think she makes some sense in the latter half of what she said, just killing her might be too rash."
Feng Ling'er flared up, "What do you mean?"
As the two women were about to argue, the Murong Brothers quickly said, "I have an immature suggestion!"
"Say it quickly!"
"Just let it out!"
The two female knights immediately flared up with emotion.
It can only be said when women start arguing, it's hard to contain the fire.
In the end, the Murong Brothers looked at Duan Yun and said, "Brother, can you leave this one to me?"
Duan Yun was surprised, "Aren't Li Mofei's old mother and the black maid already given to you? Now you want his mistress too, doesn't Ning Qing have any objections?"
The Murong Brothers said with a pained expression, "This time you brought back Gold Mountain and Silver Mountain, and now the Martial World is abuzz with stories about you having two beauties at your side, one being the greatest in Tianzhou. You have no idea how distressed I am."
Duan Yun said, "I went out taking people with me, why are you distressed?"
The Murong Brothers replied, "Regardless, I am the Young Hero Murong, just as renowned as you. You go out with stunning beauties at your side, and I have none! None! It's more painful than you stepping on my face!"
"I beg you, let me have just one."
"I only want this old one."
Aunt Xue of the Leopard Pattern, despite having issues with being called "old," saw this as one of her few chances and quickly said, "I can be a mount too. I, Aunt Xue of the Leopard Pattern, am originally from the highest Snow Mountain, true to my name, a snow leopard. As a mount, I'm much more capable than those two!"
Little Yin and Lei Ying, who had just come to watch the fun, didn't expect to become involved and added fuel to the fire, "I think Heroine Feng is right, this kind of old woman has impure intentions, likely to become a heroic villain, better to kill her and be done with it."
The Murong Brothers became more agitated, saying, "If you let me have a woman to ride, then don't have one yourself, let's all be poor and fine, but you had to go out and have someone carry you! If this gets out, people will think us Jade Pearl Heroes are penniless and with no mounts! I want one too!"
Saying this, he was about to roll on the ground, behaving like a tantrum-throwing child trying to cling to Duan Yun's leg.
Duan Yun retorted, "Look at you acting like a bear, you're a Young Hero mentioned alongside me, can't you be a bit more serious?"
The Murong Brothers rolled on the ground, "I don't care! I want it! You, Young Hero Duan, ride beauties and artifacts, I, Young Hero Murong, merely want to ride an old one!"
Duan Yun sighed, "Alright, alright, take her."
At this, the Murong Brothers were so happy they rolled on the ground.
Rolling on the ground both times showcased starkly different emotions from one moment to the next.
Duan Yun reminded, "First, you must manage this woman with Ning Qing."
Duan Yun always had concerns about the Murong Brothers' treatment of women.
In Young Hero Duan's experience, dealing with Aunt Xue of the Leopard Pattern requires treating her like livestock for her to be compliant, while if you imitate the Murong Brothers and act obsequiously, you'll likely be bitten back.
The Murong Brothers said, "Don't worry, I report everything to Ning Qing."
With that, the issue of Aunt Xue's fate was temporarily resolved.
Aunt Xue of the Leopard Pattern had tears in her eyes.
Finally, finally, she could see the light of day!
In truth, she was resistant to being a mount for the Murong Brothers and somewhat envious of Little Yin and Lei Ying.
Although the Murong Brothers claimed to be as renowned as Duan Yun, the disparity in their appearances alone was significant.
Being a mount for Old Demon Duan, even looking at that face every day would improve one's mood.
As for losing face, as the Snow Leopard from the Snow Mountain, having climbed from patricide to become the strongest, most formidable woman leading the Leopard Pattern Gang, and once Li Mofei's beloved mistress, she had initially felt embarrassed, but compared to Lei Ying, it seemed less disgraceful.
This Young Master's Wife of the Gu Family, being the greatest in Tianzhou, was already a mount, so being a mount was nothing disgraceful.
Of course, in Aunt Xue's eyes, the Murong Brothers had advantages that Duan Yun couldn't boast: a friendlier approach to women, or rather, following the buffoonish tendencies of many in the Martial World, indulging and obeying pretty women.
