CHAPTER NINE
"Why now? Don't you want to use them for the modelling?" Mingyan asked curiously.
"Don't worry this is another type of advertising. If people see you with the clothes, they will ask for the brand." Gia explained.
The entertainment in this current era isn't as well developed as the ancient era. The people on this era are focused on eating and surviving from the moment they migrated from earth.
"Oh, then I'll go change then." Yeol said before leaving with Mingyan.
Twenty minutes later they arrived at the government office. After getting the patents and other documents, they decided to go to the shopping mall.
It's been a century, so An Ke'an wanted to explore the capital. Even with her memories she still felt out of place.
The four of them proceeded to the shopping mall, and Gia dragged them towards the clothing area. When they arrived Gia couldn't decide what to buy, the clothes here suddenly felt ugly compared to the dressing she saw from An Ke'an.
As they were shopping, they heard a noise. It seems someone was arguing. They found that the source wasn't far from them, out of curiosity they went over.
In the middle of the crowd were two ladies, one was drenched with water with her hair scattered looking pitiful, while the other was looking at the other with an expression of being superior. The one who had a superior expression was lecturing the other. An Ke'an recognized the two, one was Qiao Yao who was drenched and the other was Xian Su, Xian Jiao's daughter who wasn't part of the royal enlisted as a princess.
An Ke'an knew Xian Su personally, though the girl was arrogant and prideful, she was a good person. She was one of the people who helped her in her past life, too bad she died under her future husband.
"Big sister Su." An Ke'an called out to Xian Su as she walked towards her.
She didn't want Xian Su to get entangled with QiaoYao. If she did, she would be entangled with Qiao Yao's admirer. Thinking of this, An Ke'an suddenly stopped she looked at Qiao Yao with narrowed eyes.
Qiao Yao likes to wear white dresses, these dresses bears a lot resemblance with ancient clothing. Now looking at Qiao Yao, An Ke'an started to see the thing she had overlooked.
Qiao Yao has a lot of admirer, way more than the only princess on this Empire. The problems was that her beauty couldn't compare to Princess Xian Hua and Qiao Yao's admirers are crazy to the extent they were willing to die for her.
Pointing out these flaws, An Ke'an realised the main thing, anyone who goes against Qiao Yao died a miserable death. Like Xian Su who died at the hand of her commoner husband due to domestic violence, or Gia who died because of her mecha suddenly shortcuited.
Their death doesn't seem to make sense, why would Xian Su's husband who was a commoner has the gut to lay his hands on a royal, when he was well aware that offending the royal family was something a commoner couldn't bear. Or a perfectly new mecha suddenly shortcuited at a critical moment.
"You...who are you?" Xian Su asked feeling the person in front of her was very familiar.
"Ke'an!" Xian Su's eyes widened upon recognising the lady in front of her.
An Ke'an snapped out of her thought before answering Xian Su.
"Sigh... I'm so heartbroken. You couldn't even recognise me." An Ke'an said dramatically.
"Hehe, isn't because my little cutie got prettier." Xian Su said as she hooked her arm around An Ke'an's.
"What's wrong?" An Ke'an asked indicating she wanted to know the situation between Xian Su and Qiao Yao.
"It's just some sl*t seducing people everywhere." Xian Su said pouting her lips looking a little angry.
"Your highness I..." Qiao Yao protested in a soft and gentle voice but she was interrupted by a male voice.
"Xian Su! What do you think you're doing?!" A man with black hair and black eyes indicating he was royalty, shouted. After glaring at Xian Su, he removed his outer wear and wrapped it over Qiao Yao.
"Oh, if it isn't cousin Han. What? Do you want to beat me over a commoner?" Xian Su mocked, sneering at Xian Hanmin.
"Bullying a commoner, aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Xian Hanmin said angrily seeing Xian Su was not taking him seriously.
"Which eyes of yours saw that I bullied her? Xian Hanmin if your eyes aren't working well, I suggest you get it treated." Xian Su said with her eyes turning cold.
"That's right, the young miss didn't bully her ."
"She's truly a slut. From one man to another, how unsightly."
The crowd gathering around them began to supporting Xian Su, while insulting Qiao Yao.
Qiao Yao's face turned pale because of the insult.
"I didn't.." Qiao Yao said weakly almost crying, looking very pitiful.
An Ke'an frowned before asking.
"Big sister Su, what really happened?"
Xian Hanmin who was looking really angry was stunned by the beauty of the lady beside Xian Su.
"Sigh, she came in here even though she was a commoner. Perhaps because of her temperament, the staff let her in." Xian Su eexplained. The place they were standing in front was the place where high nobles ladies get their clothing from.
"After she browsed around, she didn't buy anything. One of the men in there recognized her and suggested he paid for what she bought. But the man brought a girlfriend, but he wasn't willing to buy things for his own girlfriend, and was willing to buy for a stranger.
The lady got angry and started insulting both QiaoYao and her boyfriend, who knew the men in there will start to defend Qiao Yao, the ladies who they had followed in got angry, and began calling Qiao Yao all kinds of name. At the end, one couple got into a fight, the man beat up the lady that she bled. Seeing the situation was getting out of hands, the manager escorted everyone out, leaving Qiao Yao behind.
The manager reprimanded Qiao Yao and she started crying saying she didn't do anything. But who knew the manager will get bewitched by her pitiful appearance, so he proposed she take anything, he will pay for her.
But the manager's wife flew into rage, she poured water on her and began pulling Qiao Yao by her hair. As a classmate I couldn't just sit by so I rescued her and that's how we got to this point." After explaining Xian Su felt her throat was dry and her bodyguard handed her a bottle of water.
Hearing her explanation, the people who had just arrived at the scene and wasn't aware of the situation were dumbfounded.
Qiao Yao's face turned red in embarrassment, she wished the floor could swallow her at this moment. She didn't know the situation was so embarrassing until she heard it from Xian Su. She got a cheat from the system and decided to test it out at the mall, who knew the cheat was so powerful?
At this moment, An Ke'an felt that her suspicion was right. Qiao Yao had a system, perhaps the same as hers.
An Ke'an pursed her lips, she now knew why her life was so miserable and how Qiao Yao was able to hack into K15, stealing all her wealth. Her eyes turned cold, if it was before her transmigrations, maybe she wouldn't be able to do anything to Qiao Yao, but now she wasn't afraid. Before confirming whether this system will do harm to this Empire, she won't act on it for the main time.
An Ke'an pulled Xian Su towards the crowd where Gia and her brothers were standing. She's afraid if Xian Su continue staying there, she will thoroughly offend Qiao Yao.
"Gia! What are you doing here?" Xian Su asked as she hugged Gia happily.
"I came shopping with An'an." Gia smiled hugging her back.
Xian Su is four years older than Gia and seven years older than An Ke'an. From a young age, the two of them revered Xian Su as their goddess. But they grew apart because Xian Su went to college.
"Hello, Second young miss." Yeol greeeted Xian Su and Mingyu followed suit.
"Oh, hello." Xian Su greeted back, a little shy that Yeol had witnessed the situation with Qiao Yao.
"Big sister Su, do you have anything to do right now?" Gia asked wanting Xian Su to go along with them.
"Yes, oh right! Ke'an where did you get the dress you wore on the college entrance examination..." Xian Su suddenly stopped when she noticed the four dressing.
"Wow!" Xian Su said admiring Gia's dress. While An Ke'an was putting on a oversized purple top with a white trousers, Gia was wearing a baby pink knee length gown. The gown was off shoulder, the dress wrapped around her body till her waist, while the rest flowed freely.
