My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant -
Chapter 36: Ming Xius Order
The price also shocked the people in the private room with Lou Mu Yan. They cast enviable gazes towards her. In an instant she became a wealthy woman. Even if they were given some time to go gather money, they wouldn’t be able to come up with this much ink-gold coins.
Yun Jin proudly flaunted to the several people: “Looks like I made a profit. It’s actually worth three hundred million ink-gold coins!”
Looking at the handsome face of Yun Jin’s that was asking for a beating, Yun Luo couldn’t help but give him an ‘are you an idiot’ look. But he was still very envious within—though it wasn’t that he was envious of this cousin obtaining a pill that cost three hundred million, but the fact that he obtained the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Xiao Zi Ang also couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Yun Jin who revealed a face full of cockiness. But inside, he also desperately yearned for that Marrow Cleansing Pill.
After today’s auction, the Marrow Cleansing Pill would become a sensation throughout the entire Yan’zhou Kingdom, and even spread to other kingdoms on Tian’ling Continent. It would become even more difficult to obtain one then.
There was killing intent hidden in Gu Yan Ran’s eyes. She couldn’t understand why the sky and the earth had turned upside down1 in only less than three months for Lou Mu Yan. Aside from her own family background, she was better than Lou Mu Yan in every way, so why wasn’t she the one that obtained that Marrow Cleansing Pill? How hateful she felt!
Lou Mu Yan naturally felt the killing intent from Gu Yan Ran towards her. But as a once-Almighty of the Spirit World, it was impossible for her to worry about an inferior enemy like her. After the Academy’s Grand Competition, she would properly ‘serve’ this self-righteous little white flower.
The Seventh Princess Yun Xin was also exceptionally envious of Lou Mu Yan, and even felt a little unfair, disliking Lou Mu Yan more and more. On the surface she continued to wear a gentle smile, but she decided that after returning home, she would definitely discuss this properly with her Consort Mother. Even if she didn’t like Lou Mu Yan, it would still be beneficial to win her over somehow.
As a princess of the Empire, and also as an influential and popular student of the Empire Academy’s Heaven Class, Yun Xin naturally didn’t like her limelight to be overshadowed by a woman that was known amongst the distinguished clans as trash in the past. But she also understood how to endure while holding great desire and determination for the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Chi Yi Xuan’s face sunk. He was actually very conflicted. He hoped that Lou Mu Yan was dazzling, and yet he also wanted to hide her away so that she would only shine for him.
After the auction ended, Lou Mu Yan carried the Spirit Devourer to a separate transaction room of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance to clear the deal.
“Young Miss Lou has arrived. Sit.” Elder Ye waited with a smile on his face in the room, appearing very happy to have been able to win the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Lou Mu Yan’s lips curled up into a smile: “Congratulations Elder Ye, maybe Elder Ye could even advance to a Sword Monarch expert after cleansing your marrows.”
“HAHA—!” Hearing Lou Mu Yan’s words, Elder Ye was put in a good mood. He had been stuck at the Peak-Phase Sword King Stage for more than twenty years. If he could really utilise the Marrow Cleansing Pill’s effects to cleanse his marrow and widen his meridians, then he had confidence in breaking through to the Sword Monarch Stage.
“Then I’ll accept Young Miss Lou’s auspicious words. If this old man successfully advances into the Sword Monarch Stage, then I’ll consider it as owing a personal favour to Young Miss Lou.”
Lou Mu Yan didn’t expect Elder Ye to be this straightforward. A Sword Monarch’s personal favour was hard to obtain, particularly becoming acquainted with someone like Elder Ye who was also a high-level Appraiser. Since the other party extended an olive branch2 then she’d naturally accept it, “Then I’ll accept it with thick skin.”
Elder Ye nodded appreciatively. He usually disliked hypocritical people, so seeing that Lou Mu Yan could judge the hour and size up the situation3, was not being hypocritical, and possessed a likable temperament, he felt fonder of this little girl.
“Young Miss Lou, your Marrow Cleansing Pill was sold for three hundred million ink-gold coins. After deducting the two percent commission fee for the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance, as well as the price of the Fire Cloud Mink you bought, this is the rest.” Elder Ye took out a purple crystal card, ready to transfer the money over.
Lou Mu Yan took out her purple crystal card and handed it to Elder Ye, “Elder Ye, could I exchange the ink-gold coins into purple-gold coins?”
In reality, ink-gold coins weren’t that valuable on this land and only in a small kingdom like Yan’zhou Kingdom did three hundred million ink-gold coins appear to be a huge amount of wealth.
“Naturally.” Elder Ye took the card and directly converted the ink-gold coins to purple-gold coins and transferred it to her card.
“Thank you!” Lou Mu Yan put the card away, smiling.
Remembering that at the end of the auction many people who had even a bit of power to them came to him and enquired about the person who sold the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he reminded: “Young Miss Lou, this Marrow Cleansing Pill already made many people with some background notice you, so you must be more careful.”
After Lou Mu Yan allowed him to release the news that her Terminal Meridians constitution was eradicated after consuming the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he believed that many people would go find her, and even the Lou Clan, if they couldn’t obtain news off of him.
Lou Mu Yan nodded and said: “Thank you Elder Ye for the reminder. I know this is unavoidable, so I’m already prepared.”
Even if she didn’t take out the Marrow Cleansing Pill today, the fact that her Terminal Meridians constitution was eradicated, and the fact that she advanced to a Great Sword Master, would still attract a lot of attention. Instead of being targeted by a small number of powerful entities that could secretly make trouble for the Lou Clan, it was better to let everyone know about the existence of the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
“It’s good to be prepared. If Young Miss Lou still has any pills or other rare items to sell, do remember to come to the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance to find this old man. Of course, you can also find other managers with your Silver Ming Alliance Token.” Elder Ye felt that Lou Mu Yan was mysterious, had many secrets, and definitely had more nice items.
“But of course. If I have anything good, the first place I’ll definitely think of is the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance. After all, no other Alliance could compare to the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance in terms of credibility and strength.”
“Then that’s the best. This old man awaits the next opportunity to work with Young Miss Lou.”
“Mu Yan also looks forward to our next cooperation.” Lou Mu Yan stood up, smiling, and said: “Elder Ye, my cousin and the others are awaiting outside, so I won’t bother you anymore. Let us meet again.”
“Alright! Let us meet again.”
Not long after Lou Mu Yan left, a red figure appeared in the room.
Seeing the visitor, Elder Ye greeted respectfully: “Your Highness!”
“Did you give her the silver token?” The man’s voice was clear with a sense of maturity.
“Yes, I have given it to her.” Elder Ye nodded.
“That Marrow Cleansing Pill was won by you?”
“Yes. If this Marrow Cleansing Pill really does have the effects that Lou Mu Yan said, then I will have a little more confidence breaking through to the Sword Monarch Stage.” The excitement hidden in Elder Ye’s eyes didn’t escape the man’s eyes.
The red-clothed man chuckled softly, and his thin lips opened, “You can rest assured. That Marrow Cleansing Pill does indeed have the effect she said.”
Elder Ye never doubted his master’s ability, “Who knows where that little girl obtained the Marrow Cleansing Pill. It is a pity that she gave the remaining two away.”
Before Lou Mu Yan left, he went to enquire again if she could sell one more, but the answer given was that she already gifted them to Yun Lan and Yun Jin. He sure didn’t know if the little girl was too generous, or she had a deeper meaning to her actions.
The red-clothed man’s lips curled upwards with an incomparably devilish charm, “She’s extremely shrewd. It’s best to be more friendly with the Lou Clan from now on.”
Since working at the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance, Elder Ye had never seen his proud and uninhibited master ever order them to attempt to befriend anyone, let alone see him pay attention to and care about anyone.
Despite the many questions he had, he didn’t dare ask them aloud, and took his words to heart. Since his master saw promise in Lou Mu Yan, then later he would order the person in charge of the Alliance in Yan’zhou Kingdom to be as friendly to the Lou Clan as possible.
“Yes. I will pass on the order to befriend the Lou Clan.”
“From now on, send me a copy of all the news about her.” Ming Xiu curled his lips. Others didn’t know, but he knew that the Marrow Cleansing Pill was definitely refined by Lou Mu Yan herself. That little woman was becoming more and more interesting.
“Yes, master.”

1everything changed so drastically, a 180-degree change.
2this one’s an English saying originating from Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt (according to my few seconds long Google search). But Chinese also appear to say it a lot and it means like a show of peace and friendship.
3knows what to say and do, and when to say and do them in the appropriate moments.
Note: So all I did today was stay up till 3:30am binge watching You Are My Glory and finally finished all 32 episodes (would’ve finished the episodes earlier if I didn’t keep pressing the back arrow and pause button and swoon over and over again at certain scenes HAHA).
Edit: Ahhhh the feels of finishing YAMG. I’ll just leave it there and spare the long fan-girl notes I had here before. Recommend it btw 🙂 Might post 1 chapter today since I’m running out of saved-up chapters. But we’ll see, I might sit down and translate more.
But actor Yang Yang ❤
