Starting as a complete failure, he leads the demon race to sweep across the lower realm.

Chapter 65 Do a Good Deed

"What... is it a 'twisting flower'?" Rou Sheng looked bewildered.

Good heavens, she forgot this wasn't her world. In that world, even a homebody like her knew about the art of hairpin making, but in this world, everyone only knew how to make hairpins from wood, jade, gemstones, and copper and iron. Who would know about hairpin making?

"Oh! It's just... I think this hairpin looks like it's made of silk thread, isn't that a kind of wrapped flower design, haha..."

Li Yang handed the hairpin to Lian'er, "Grandma, how much does this hairpin cost?"

The old woman tending her stall tremblingly held up five fingers. "Is five taels of silver alright?"

"Tch! That old hag is lying again. She's asking for five taels of silver for just one hairpin. She thinks you're rich girls and easy to fool. Just watch and see. This old woman and her daughter-in-law are the same – they make money through dishonest means!"

Upon hearing this, Lian'er quickly put the hairpin back, "Miss, it really is too expensive..."

"No... I'm not lying. This hairpin is very difficult to make, I..." The old woman explained while waving her hand, "Please, this hairpin is much lighter than those made of gemstones. And look at this binding thread, my daughter-in-law stayed up all night making it, just hoping to make it exquisite and sell it to earn some money for my son to buy medicine..."

As she spoke, the old lady's eyes reddened, and her straight back hunched over.

"Miss……"

Lian'er suddenly became unsure. The hairpin was beautiful, and she felt that her mistress looked more elegant in it than in gold or silver hairpins. But if the old woman was really lying, wouldn't they be being taken advantage of?

"mother!"

Suddenly, a woman in a pink coat came running from not far away. She came over like a gust of wind and helped the old lady up. Then, she quickly grabbed Li Yang's hands and tried to kneel down.

“Honorable ones, if my mother has offended you, I apologize on her behalf. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Li Yang was pulled down by her, and the mask hanging loosely on her face was about to fall off. She tried to use her hands to support the mask, but she couldn't break free at all. She could only watch her face being exposed to the air.

"Hey, don't..."

The mask crashed to the ground, and Li Yang felt that everyone's breath caught in their throats when they saw her face.

Five seconds later, a vacuum zone automatically formed around Li Yang, and the people stood a meter away from her, whispering among themselves.

"Oh my god, it's this witch!"

"She's a princess now, so keep your voice down, or the witch will have His Majesty beat you to death with sticks!"

"This old woman is pitiful. She got herself into trouble with that witch Li Yang. Now it's hard to tell who's suffering more!"

"Those words must refer to that old woman and this woman. The witch has three people with her, and that elegantly dressed lady looks like she's not to be trifled with..."

Rou Sheng grew angrier the more she listened, and her voice, infused with spiritual energy, coldly snorted, "Enough!"

There was a sudden silence all around.

The woman clinging to Li Yang's face was beyond pale; it would be more accurate to describe it as the face of someone who had been dead for three days.

"Please...please let us go. My mother didn't mean to extort you. You three can take whatever you like. I don't want money. I beg you to let us go..."

The woman knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically, her whole body trembling like a leaf. The old woman also knelt down, pleading, "It's my fault for being blind! Please, spare my daughter-in-law! This family is counting on her now!"

Li Yang calmly rubbed her ears. In the eyes of the common people, this was a sign that the witch was about to unleash her spiritual power, and they immediately retreated several steps in fear.

Li Yang squatted down, her big eyes scanning the hairpins displayed on the stall, looking just like an innocent girl next door out shopping with great curiosity.

Did you make this hairpin?

The woman nodded shakily.

Li Yang lifted her face, her voice, slightly naive yet reproachful, reaching the woman's ears, "Why are you so afraid of me? I never said I was going to eat you."

Hearing her words, the woman trembled again.

Lian'er pouted, "Miss, why are you scaring this lady?"

Having spent so much time with Li Yang, Lian'er knew that Li Yang wasn't the arrogant and domineering young lady type. Instead, she was mischievous with a touch of wickedness, and loved to play like a child who hadn't yet reached marriageable age.

Li Yang stood up and flicked Lian'er's forehead, pretending to be angry, "You naughty Lian'er, you don't give me any face in front of so many people."

Rou Sheng, afraid they would start arguing, quickly pulled them apart. "Alright, let's let this go. Let's go back."

The old lady and the lady both breathed a sigh of relief.

But Li Yang's next words made their hearts jump again.

"No, I have something to discuss with this lady!"

"Ah?" The lady raised her timid eyes. "Princess... this lowly woman knows she was wrong and will never appear before you again. Please forgive me?"

"Do you dare to do business with me?"

Instead of answering, Li Yang squatted down and asked a question, looking intently at the lady with her big eyes. She tilted her head slightly, and the silver bell on her head jingled softly, just like her non-aggressive face. If you didn't know better, you would really think that Li Yang was just an innocent young lady from a noble family.

"What……?"

“My maid likes the hairpins you make. Why don’t you come with me to the palace and teach her how to make them?”

Lian'er spoke first: "Huh?"

Li Yang glanced at Lian'er, but her round eyes showed no sign of reproach. She then looked at the woman with a stern face, her expression not serious, but rather like a child pretending to be serious like an adult.

“I’ll give you…” Li Yang tilted his head and thought for a moment, “How about ten taels? Or fifteen taels? You come to the palace to teach Lian’er how to do it, and once Lian’er has learned, I’ll give you another fifty taels, okay?”

Lian'er felt everyone's eyes were on her, and immediately blushed so badly she wanted to disappear into the ground.

"Princess, I am here to serve you, what do you mean by this..."

Li Yang propped herself up on her knees and said, "If you don't want to learn, then let's leave?"

Lian'er secretly glanced at Rou Sheng, but dared not respond.

Li Yang quickly realized, "Are you afraid of Mother's punishment?"

Everyone was shocked by her answer!

This lady's status is indeed extraordinary! The Empress actually accompanied this witch out shopping; it seems this witch is very favored in the palace!

Rou Sheng smiled helplessly, "How could that be? Lian'er is your maid. I won't interfere with how Yang Yang arranges things."

"Wow! Thank you, Mother!" Li Yang's smile was overflowing. "Madam, what's your decision? Don't worry, you don't need to use any vulgar language. If you want to go home tonight, I can arrange for the palace to let you go."

The lady glanced at the old woman, who quickly shook her head with tears in her eyes.

She withdrew her gaze, nodded with a resolute air, and said, "I am willing to teach the princess's maids."

As soon as she finished speaking, a small, fair, and soft hand reached out in front of her, holding a brocade pouch.

"Well, since you've agreed, here's your money for today. Now come back to the palace with us."

"Thank you... thank you, Princess..."

The lady took the money with trembling hands and handed it to the old lady. "Mother, please go and buy some medicine for my husband. I... I'll be back tonight."

The old woman held the money bag and watched her leave with Li Yang and the other two, but the eyes of the people around her were always on her hand.

Li Yang suddenly turned around, her beautiful eyes narrowing dangerously.

"I forgot to mention, now that this lady is mine, if I see anyone bullying this grandmother, be careful..."

Her gaze swept around the room, but her sweet voice sent chills down the spines of those who heard it, and the crowd instantly dispersed.

The old lady looked at Li Yang in surprise, and the latter smiled slightly and winked at her.

This witch princess doesn't seem to be as bad as the rumors say...
