After Transmigrating, I Became the Favored One in My Mountain Stronghold

Transmigrated to become a mountain bandit? Well, it's like returning to my old profession. The mountain stronghold was as poor as could be, so we could only start developing the land to achieve...

Chapter Two: Human Greed (shuhaige.net)

Mo Lan had always kept her possession of a rare treasure a secret, until that time she blurted it out while drunk.

Heh~

Murder for treasure!

That was greedy enough, but it's all for naught; it was all for naught!

······

"Waaah... Miss, you mustn't scare me like that..."

The young lady is so frightened, is she about to have a stroke?

Mo Lan was pulled back to reality by the little girl's desperate cries. After processing the memories she had received for a while, she couldn't help but shake her head.

The original owner of this body was really delicate; she was scared to death!

That's incredibly cowardly!

"Don't cry, I'm fine!" Despite her young age, her voice was surprisingly loud!

In my memory, this little girl was picked up by the original owner and named Hua Bao. She was extremely loyal to the original owner!

Why is it so noisy outside?

When Hua Bao saw that the young lady was alright, she quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeve. But when she thought about what had happened outside, her expression changed drastically.

"Young Miss, something terrible has happened! The chief of White Tiger Cliff is actually bringing betrothal gifts and trying to force a marriage proposal. The gifts have even been brought to the council hall!"

"Forced engagement?"

Mo Lan blinked. The original owner of Hua Mo Lan was scared to death by Hu Biao, the chief of Baihu Cliff. She didn't expect that the other party would still not give up and come to harass her again.

Thinking of Hu Biao, all she remembered was his big, burly figure and the ugly scar that ran from his forehead to the corner of his eye, resembling a centipede. Hua Molan was already timid and didn't dare to look at him, let alone after they got married.

So when she rushed to the council hall in a panic, she saw the other party staring at her menacingly, wanting her to be his wife. As a result, the original owner fainted, and the marriage proposal ended in discord!

After being unconscious for three days, the original owner lost his life!

Mo Lan touched her nose, looking disgusted. How could someone so delicate be worthy of the "bandit" title above their head?

As for Hu Biao, Mo Lan was very puzzled. She didn't know what was wrong with that guy. He insisted on marrying a woman who couldn't even kill a chicken as his wife, and he even made a big show of proposing marriage on the mountain. What was he after?

"Help me up, let me change my clothes, I'm going to the council chamber!"

Mo Lan snorted, her eyes turning cold. The person was already terrified, yet they still dared to propose marriage. This was simply outrageous!

If the core is completely changed, and someone else takes advantage of her to defecate on her neck, she'll lose all face and dignity. Wouldn't all those years of being called a cleaner be for nothing?

"Young Miss, what are you doing in the council chamber? Those people are very fierce..."

"Fierce? Since we can't avoid it, we have to go and see!" Mo Lan raised her hand and rubbed Yan Hua Bao's head. How fierce have she not seen? Why would she be afraid of a mountain bandit?

In the eyes of the world, there is only black and white, but she happens to live in the gray area, and similarly, she can't be associated with being a good person.

Since none of us are good people, it's all about skill level!

Thinking of this, Mo Lan raised her arm, clenched her fist, and a look of disdain flashed in her eyes. Slender, fair-skinned... but lacking in strength!

Hearing the young lady's tone, Hua Bao thought she had resigned herself to her fate.

"Waaah, Miss, don't worry too much. The chief will definitely stand up for you. That Hu Biao is obviously not a good person. Miss, you absolutely cannot agree to be his wife!"

Such a vicious person, if the young lady falls into his hands, will she have any chance of survival?

"So, I should definitely go and see it!"

Seeing the crying Hua Bao, Mo Lan rubbed her head and decided to find some clothes to put on herself. But when she opened the wardrobe and saw the dazzling array of dresses, Mo Lan's eyelids twitched.
