NOVEL WEB Volume 2 Chapter 118
118. Broom, Submit to Me!
Under everyone’s gaze, Xia Yi had already prepared herself mentally and slowly said, “You only saw the second layer, and you only thought of me as the first layer, but in fact, I am the fifth layer.”
The expressions of the people in the room changed.
A dragon from the card table glanced at the owner on the counter.
The owner immediately ran out and it took a while before he returned.
“Big bro, there’s only her, no one else.”
“Got it.” The card player nodded.
Then, he glanced at Xia Yi and gave her a look.
Xia Yi then walked to the side of the card table.
What she said just now was a code phrase. As long as one came to the card room and said the code phrase, it meant that they wanted to meet with the Shadow King’s subordinates.
This was the intelligence Lucius had obtained.
Clearly, these people reacted, which meant they were the Shadow King’s subordinates.
One of the players stood up and gave his seat to Xia Yi.
She didn’t think much and sat down.
The player who stood up directly became the dealer and began to shuffle and deal the cards.
“We heard that there was a wealthy dragon who wanted to provide aid to the poor in the lower district,” the Shadow King’s subordinate asked. “Is that you?”
“Yes.”
Xia Yi picked up her cards and took a look.
Hmm…
The cards weren’t very good.
The Shadow King’s subordinates were a bit puzzled as they looked at this silver-haired loli sitting on the chair. Her little feet couldn’t even reach the floor, and her little leather shoes could only dangle in midair. Surely she wasn’t… just here to play around?
“We heard that the wealthy dragon was a flamboyant male, a playboy.”
“He’s my subordinate, he had something to deal with today and couldn’t come, so I simply came myself.”
Xia Yi decided to go all-in.
“I bid landlord!”
“…”
The other two dragons fell silent, their cheeks twitching, feeling like they had been slapped.
This noble young lady, she really wasn’t here to amuse herself?
Xia Yi waved at the dealer.
“They don’t want it, give it to me.”
“Oh.”
The dealer was stunned for a moment, then handed three cards to Xia Yi.
The little princess flipped them over expectantly and added them to her hand. After carefully looking—
It’s over.
She didn’t get the cards she wanted. This hand was rotten. Even a gambling god couldn’t save it.
“We heard that the wealthy dragon really wanted to help the poor in the lower district, so we waited here,” the Shadow King’s subordinate continued to talk with Xia Yi. “We hate nobles, but for the sake of the recommender, we agreed.”
“Yes, I do want to help you.”
“Then, how much money are you prepared to provide? How much did you bring this time?”
“I didn’t bring any.”
“You didn’t bring a single cent?!”
“6.”
“What 6? With this attitude of yours, are you playing with us?!” The Shadow King’s subordinate slammed the table and stood up.
Xia Yi said aggrievedly, “I’m just playing a 6.”
Then, she pointed to the 6 she had played, looking very innocent.
The Shadow King’s subordinate’s expression was a bit out of control, but he still endured it for a moment and sat down.
“9!”
“I can’t beat that.”
“I can’t beat it either,” Xia Yi also replied. “I wanted to talk with you guys. If possible, I want to meet the Shadow King. It’s very important.”
“Talk about what?”
“The future of the lower district. I think just some financial aid won’t be able to fundamentally change this place…”
“You’re playing us!! You nobles, not a single one of you is any good!!”
The Shadow King’s subordinate completely lost his temper and flipped the card table on the spot.
Their prejudice against nobles was too deep. Being able to sit down and talk was already not bad… When they heard that this seemingly naive noble young lady didn’t bring the promised financial aid, their emotions exploded.
“Cut the crap, big bro. Let’s catch this girl first, then that noble from before will definitely pay to redeem her!”
“Okay.”
The Shadow King’s subordinate moved to subdue Xia Yi.
“Let me remind you, if you underestimate me, you’re going to suffer.”
Xia Yi threw all the bad cards in her hand, hitting the Shadow King’s subordinate in the face, and dodged his hand.
Such agile movements made the few dragons in the card room realize something was wrong.
“This girl, she’s got some skills!”
The others also started moving.
The Shadow King’s subordinates clearly had some strength. They were at least stronger than ordinary gang members and had some combat experience. They wouldn’t be easily dealt with like ordinary dragons.
If it came to a direct fight, the short-legged Xia Yi would be at a disadvantage, unable to leverage her strength advantage, so she started looking for a weapon in the card room.
Let’s see if there’s anything that can be used as a weapon…
Found it!
The silver-haired loli dodged the attack of several dragons, used her movement technique to jump behind the counter, and picked up a broom.
“Broom, submit to me!”
Xia Yi used her sword intent and attached sword qi to the broom, turning it into a sword.
As long as she considered something to be a sword, then it would be a sword.
That’s the power of a Sword Saint!
“You’re kidding me!!”
The subordinate of the Shadow King roared, punched and shattered a nearby cabinet, pulled out an iron rod, swung it around a few times, causing the air to vibrate.
“Boss, don’t go too far!” The dragon beside him shouted.
“Shut up, I know what I’m doing!”
The Shadow King’s subordinate leaped high, raised the iron rod over his head, and smashed it down at Xia Yi.
In his eyes, Xia Yi taking out a broom as a weapon was simply an insult to him… Anyway, dragons had thick skin and flesh. Teaching her a small lesson wouldn’t be a big problem.
However, Xia Yi didn’t dodge. Instead, she took a stance, facing the mountain-collapsing attack, raised the broom to the sky, and swung out a sword beam.
Iron-Cutting Sword Technique!
Clang!
The iron rod broke in response, and the Shadow King’s subordinate fell to the ground, he quickly got up, his face in shock.
The others were also stunned.
This, this?!
May I ask what comic plot is this?
How can a person use a broom to cut an iron rod, and it’s a loli at that!
“Hmph, I did say, underestimate me, and you’ll suffer.” Xia Yi cheerfully said.
A fine cut appeared on the cheek of the Shadow King’s subordinate, oozing blood.
This was a warning, as if saying that if she wanted, she could easily cut off his head.
In the many years he had followed the Shadow King in the lower district, the Shadow King’s subordinate had never suffered such humiliation. He could only show respect to the Shadow King and absolutely would never submit to anyone else.
If the Shadow King’s subordinate showed weakness to the nobles, it would affect the poor people in the lower district’s evaluation of the Shadow King.
“Now is not the time to care about face. She does have some skill and is here to cause trouble! Everyone, let’s gang up on her! One of you, go outside and call for people!” The Shadow King’s subordinate stood up and shouted.
“Got it!”
The owner of the card room once again dashed out the door, but was knocked to the ground by a dragon who entered the card room.
He was about to curse at whoever was so blind, but when he raised his head, the words at the tip of his tongue disappeared.
Everyone turned to look at the entrance of the card room, falling into shock.
The Shadow King’s subordinate shouted in disbelief, “Shadow King, why are you here?!”
Xia Yi was somewhat puzzled, she followed their gaze, and seeing who it was, was quite surprised.
“Why is it you?”
