Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1239: Chapter 905: If You Can’t Buy It, Just Grab It!

”Well, you name a price! Once you do, I’ll pay up!” Gu Changsheng was holding onto the other side of the doll, not budging an inch.

Damn it, she couldn’t afford to lose face here, she mustn’t let these street vendors bully them all along this street! Otherwise, where would her reputation go?

This street, does it even allow proper browsing anymore? Can’t take this kind of mocking!

”Not selling! I said not selling, not even for a fortune!” Thinking of how that kid from the Li Family bought a fake painting and got deceived, the vendor was adamant not to sell the shady goods he’d acquired to Gu Changsheng and the others!

”You!” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng was momentarily at a loss for words and pointed tremblingly at the vendor for quite a while before squeezing out a word, ”You’re something else, damn you! Just wait for me!”

After saying this, Gu Changsheng pulled her evildoer along and ran off tearfully!

What the hell is this place, Licheng City?

There are all sorts of people here!

All her evildoer did was turn a worn-out painting into a masterpiece, do they really need to mock them like this?

To be fair, her evildoer also couldn’t tell at first glance, it was only upon closer inspection that he noticed something about the painting!

But, even if she explained this to those people, would they believe her?

The answer was certainly no!

Now, all the vendors in the Dark Market were convinced Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu were the experts, and they had to be wary of them to prevent being exposed!

”Well! Truly, these are hard times, so hard it’s come to this!” Gu Changsheng rubbed her forehead, looking at the vendors along her path as they hoped she’d come closer but feared her approach with a conflicted gaze...

What the hell is all this about!

What do you call this?

Love and entanglement?

Do they have to play this artfully?

”Did they ever consider my feelings?” Gu Changsheng clutched her evildoer’s sleeve, looking like she was on the verge of tears, ”How can they treat me like this? Do they know how luxurious it is for a lazy person like me to stroll down the street? How could they let me return empty-handed, just with a piece of rag?”

”Don’t be upset...” Zhou Mu looked at his little woman, who seemed more heartbroken than words could express, and with a slight smile, he consoled her.

”I’m not upset, I’m not upset! How could I not be upset! This is just bullying!” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng glared at Zhou Mu, with her eyes clearly saying, damn it, this is all your fault! Who told you to buy a piece of rag? Now look, you’ve completely ruined my shopping fun!

Completely ignoring her own actions of using that ”rag” to embarrass the vendor, Gu Changsheng naturally threw her blaming gaze toward Zhou Mu!

But thinking it over, too, with her status, the chance to browse such a Dark Market might not come often in her lifetime, so she might as well make the most of it; who knows, this might be the only time! It could become eternal!

Thinking this, Gu Changsheng felt that if this opportunity to attend the auction and shop was wasted like this, she would regret it forever. Glancing at the vendors who were also eyeing them, she couldn’t help but curl an evil grin, gearing up enthusiastically!

Damn it, can’t buy, right?

Not selling, eh?

Then she...

Will just snatch it!

See, a woman wearing a half mask moved swiftly as a hare, zooming past the stalls she’d shopped at, bounding along!

”Ah! My doll! My doll used by the Noble Consort of the previous dynasty!”

”Ah! My scratching tool! My antique wooden scratching tool!”

”Ah! My old forehead band, my ancient unearthed forehead band!”

”Someone, catch the thief! There’s a thief in the Dark Market!”

”...”

In an instant, the entire street of the Dark Market was in chaos!

Shouts and cries were incessant, lanterns and oil lamps were kicked over, and chaos engulfed the area!

At the edge of this chaos, a young man dressed as a Shop Assistant, hugging a tree stump napping, was startled awake by the sudden noise, blinking sleepy eyes awake!

”Boss! Boss! It’s bad, it’s bad! There’s a thief in the Dark Market!” A patrolling Person in Black shouted while running over.

”Thief? Thief in the Dark Market? What a joke! Who’s got the guts to cause trouble in my Dark Market, where did they go? Catch them! Send them to Qingcheng’s dungeon for some stars!” Upon hearing the word thief, Wang Buer’s sleepy eyes instantly shone brightly, a thief, good! It’s not easy for there to be a thief in our Dark Market, this gives him a chance to meet his Yan Qingcheng! Feels so good!

”Boss, that thief is our master! Master didn’t run away! She stole, and came back for more! Now it’s chaotic over there, everyone’s looking for us patrols to maintain order!” said the patrolling Person in Black.

Hearing this, Wang Buer was instantly clear-headed, shaking his head in shock, ”What did you say? The master steals? And steals more? My god, I’m getting dizzy! The master isn’t someone who lacks money!”

”Maybe... maybe she forgot to bring money this time?” The Person in Black cautiously guessed.

”Get lost! What are you standing around for? Can’t you see those people are busy trying to keep order? Aren’t you going to run? If you don’t, you’ll be waiting to catch your bosses and throw them into jail!” Wang Buer instantly lifted his foot and kicked the ass of his subordinate.

”Huh? Oh!” The patrolling person in black hesitated upon hearing this, then began rushing through the small stalls, urgently spreading out to patrol around the Dark Market...

Among them, one of the retreating patrolmen even bumped into Gu Changsheng!

Gu Changsheng waved her hand, shaking the stuffed doll she had snatched, intending to greet them. But as a result, those patrolling guards acted as if they had seen a ghost, bolted, and fled faster than rabbits!

”Wow! What are they doing? Did they run into a robbery?” Gu Changsheng watched the fleeing patrolmen, her hands still in a greeting posture, completely bewildered, unable to make sense of anything!

”You! As you said, no matter where you go, chaos follows!” Zhou Mu glanced at the little woman beside him, helplessly and indulgently shaking his head.

Gu Changsheng’s expression turned sour upon hearing this. Her small red lips pouted, holding one antique scratching tool and a stuffed doll, poking at the evildoer by her side with a defiant face, ”Damn! Even you, evildoer, dare to despise me! I won’t live anymore! I’ll rob everything here and escape to the ends of the earth!”

”Ambitions are lofty, but your father-in-law is still at the inn...” Zhou Mu remarked calmly.

”Uh...” Gu Changsheng retreated instantly, tears brimming in her eyes!

See!

She’s said it; identity, status, reputation, relationships—they’re all burdens!

They’re shackles that bind her, shackles!

Look at how good she had it before. She used to raise a son who was generations younger and listened to everything she said. Now, as Southern Emperor, she has parents, a foster father, a slew of old ministers around her, and countless pairs of eyes all over the world watching her...

Eagerly hoping she stirs up some trouble to entertain the masses!

Their intentions are heinous!

There’s nothing more malicious under the heavens than this!

Gu Changsheng glanced at the escaping patrolmen, embarrassed, while the vendors around were scared stiff and didn’t react!

Heavens!

What did they witness?

Those patrolling guards, who never showed mercy and would escort out anyone whose voice carried too much, were running away?

Indeed!

They weren’t seeing things!

This Dark Market remains an eternal city of darkness, clearly unchanged, but why are their guardian angels, those patrolling guards, fleeing?

People all around looked at the escaping patrolmen as if they’ve seen ghosts.

Everyone was looking at the fleeing patrolmen as if they’ve seen ghosts.

The fleeing patrolmen saw Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu and similarly appeared as if they’ve seen ghosts.

In short, the entire Dark Market, unprecedented chaos!

Oil lamps toppled, lanterns crashed to the ground, torches slanted, people fleeing chaotically!

The thief yelling ’catch the thief,’ while those responsible for catching thieves, except for the thief itself, were all in a frenzy!

Gu Changsheng was draped in stolen loot from head to toe, with a twitchy expression.

One patrolling person in black galloped past Gu Changsheng...

Gu Changsheng reached out her hand in an attempt to greet...

The person glanced at Gu Changsheng, shook his head, refused outright, and fled...

Another patrolling person in black repeated the same motion right in front of Gu Changsheng...

Another and another to the power of N...

Gu Changsheng’s eyes were dazzled!

Damn it, did they think she was here for a lantern exhibition? Was she supposed to enjoy this spectacle?

Finally, Gu Changsheng couldn’t hold back!

Stuffing the loot from her hands and shoulders into Zhou Mu’s embrace, Gu Changsheng reached out, grabbed one of the slower patrolmen, and lifted him up...

”Master... cough cough! Esteemed guest... Please don’t catch me! I’m just passing by, getting soy sauce! My manager is behind, maybe you could capture him instead! He’s more useful!” The caught patrolman was almost in tears.

”For crying out loud, what are you guys up to? I just wanted to ask how much these things are worth? I took them without paying yet! Will someone pay?” Gu Changsheng looked at the patrolman in black she caught, frustrated, ”Do I look like someone who’d steal without paying? I’m so full of positive energy! How could I possibly do such a freeloading act?”

”...” The caught patrolling person in black was on the verge of tears upon hearing this...
