I Just Want to be a Throwaway Character - Chapter 88

Chapter 88: World Five

Ji Wan had been confined to the princess’s mansion for half a month.

For the past half a month, Huangfu Yue had been cold towards her.

At first, Ji Wan naively thought that Huangfu Yue was just angry because she saw her father and was ignoring her because of it.

Ji Wan naively believed that as long as she had a good relationship with Huangfu Yue, these problems could be solved.

But no matter how Ji Wan approached Huangfu Yue, Huangfu Yue would always be distant.

After several days of this, Ji Wan’s little temper flared up.

Why?

Why should she keep putting her warm face against Huangfu Yue’s cold butt?

She was the princess now, wasn’t she?

Even if Huangfu Yue became the empress later on, she was still Ji Wan’s personal palace maid right now.

Why was she ignoring her?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

Ji Wan instantly felt wronged.

She’s ignoring me, so I’m not going to bother with Huangfu Yue either.

Hmph.

So, Ji Wan started a one-sided cold war with Huangfu Yue.

But Ji Wan having a cold war with Huangfu Yue didn’t mean that the tasks her father had assigned her would let her off the hook.

After Ji Wan was forced to sit at her desk and transcribe Buddhist scriptures for half a month and attend many boring classes.

Ji Wan instantly couldn’t sit still anymore.

Even if she had some interest in the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting at first.

She couldn’t stand being cooped up at home every day.

And others had weekends and holidays, but she felt like she was working all year round…

So, Ji Wan had a bold idea.

To sneak out.

So, when night fell, Ji Wan dismissed all the servants.

Then she found a light blue men’s outfit to put on.

Looking at the “beautiful man” in the mirror, who was a little too delicate.

Ji Wan frowned her delicate little brows, and then a flash of inspiration came to her.

Then Ji Wan used an eyebrow pencil to draw a beard on herself…

This abrupt beard made Ji Wan look a bit ridiculous.

But Ji Wan still touched her proud creation with some satisfaction.

“As expected of me.” Ji Wan thought smugly.

Then she walked according to the way out of the mansion that system 111 had found for her.

As Ji Wan secretly avoided the crowds and绕过 the luxurious gardens of the princess’s mansion.

After walking for an unknown amount of time.

Ji Wan suddenly realized that she was walking into a more and more secluded area.

She looked at the tall wall in front of her in confusion.

Her mind was full of question marks???

“Little 1, where is the path you mentioned?” Ji Wan strangely touched the tall wall in front of her.

Is there a hidden door here?

“Uh, host. Try pushing aside the weeds not far from you.”

System 111’s voice carried a hint of inexplicable amusement.

Weeds?

Ji Wan went over in confusion and pushed aside the half-person-tall weeds.

And then a doggy hole appeared.

“…”

“Little 1!!!” Ji Wan’s voice was filled with gritted teeth.

System 111 actually told her, the most noble little princess of the Yan Dynasty, to crawl through a doggy hole?

Her noble, charming, beautiful Niuhuru Ji.

Actually crawling through a doggy hole?

If people found out, would she still have any dignity?

“Host, you can also choose not to go out. And the female lead will get angry if she finds out.”

System 111 kindly reminded her.

“Hmph, who cares if Huangfu Yue is angry or not? It’s good enough that I’m not angry with her.”

Ji Wan said stubbornly, but her tone still couldn’t help but feel guilty.

But compared to going out.

Ji Wan looked at the doggy hole in front of her and fell into deep thought.

Although the setting that every rich person’s house in ancient times seemed to have a doggy hole was ridiculous.

But this really seemed to be her only way out…

And so our noble little princess, Ji, still obediently squatted down and crawled through the doggy hole…

“…Host, you said you wouldn’t crawl through it.” System 111 teased.

“What do you know? I’m able to bend and stretch for the greater good.” Ji Wan’s face was slightly flushed, and she replied with a huff.

When Ji Wan walked onto the bustling streets of the capital.

Looking at the traffic and the bright lights of various colors.

Ji Wan was a little excited for a moment.

She wandered aimlessly through the bustling scenes of the capital.

Everything was new and exciting.

Suddenly, Ji Wan’s nose twitched, and she smelled a tempting food aroma.

Unable to resist the temptation, Ji Wan followed the scent.

When she walked to a place that looked a lot like a tavern.

Ji Wan’s steps suddenly stopped, and a subtle and complex expression appeared on her face.

She looked at the girls in front of the door, dressed in colorful and flamboyant clothes, waving handkerchiefs with a strong scent of rouge, and soliciting customers.

“Oh, what a handsome young man. Come, come in. There are many beauties here for you to choose from.”

“Don’t be shy, come on in.”

“That’s right, come, there’s wine and beauties.”

“Young man, come in, this sister will accompany you tonight.”

…

The girls at the door noticed Ji Wan and eagerly solicited her.

They looked at Ji Wan’s clothes and could tell she was from a wealthy and noble family.

And she looked innocent, obviously a young master who had sneaked out.

Although she had some feminine traits and that unsightly beard, it didn’t stop the girls from their eyes lighting up.

This business would definitely not be a loss.

This… this… looking at the three big words “Chunxiang Tower.”

Ji Wan’s expression was flustered, and the two little beards also twitched with the corners of her mouth.

It looked both cute and comical.

Ji Wan instinctively turned around and ran. After all, anyone with a brain knew that this was a brothel.

She really didn’t have the bad taste of those time-travelers to go and check it out.

After all, Ji Wan hadn’t even been to a nightclub in modern times, she was a very good girl.

But before Ji Wan could turn her head, she bumped into a person who was also walking inside.

“Ah,” Ji Wan collided with the stranger, lost her balance, and fell to the ground.

Ji Wan covered her sore butt, and tears instantly appeared.

She cried out in pain.

Covering her sore butt, Ji Wan was a little suspicious of her life.

Was she having bad luck these past few days?!

She had fallen twice.

“I’m sorry, are you okay?” a pleasant and gentle voice came from above Ji Wan.

Ji Wan reflexively looked in the direction of the voice, and a woman with a veil was kneeling in front of her, her eyes filled with concern.

Looking at the beauty with different-colored pupils and exotic features.

Ji Wan’s angry fire, which had just ignited, was instantly extinguished.

After all, she had also bumped into the person, and the force was mutual, wasn’t it?

“I… I’m fine,” Ji Wan was about to get up and leave.

There was nothing she could do, she couldn’t get angry with a good-looking and polite person.

Although Ji Wan was usually timid and didn’t get angry anyway.

“Host, just say you’re a face-con, no need to bring out your lame middle school physics.” System 111 mercilessly complained.

“Shut up, you’re the face-con, your whole family is a face-con.” Ji Wan replied to system 111 in a huff.

But this pain was still as strange as ever.

“Hiss,” the intense pain made Ji Wan’s eyebrows instantly wrinkle.

“Sister Ruyan is here, hurry and move.”

“It’s courtesan Ruyan, hurry, make way.”

“As expected of Ruyan, even one look is so captivating.”

“I wonder who will be so lucky tonight to be Ruyan’s honored guest.”

…

After seeing who the person next to Ji Wan was, the crowds inside and outside the Chunxiang Tower were in an uproar.

Countless people had fantasized about Ruyan’s beauty behind the veil.

After all, just looking at her captivating foxy eyes and her different-colored pupils could suck people in.

Just with a veil, she firmly held the title of the number one courtesan in the capital.

One could imagine how beautiful she was.

Some people even sold all their family fortune just to see Miss Ruyan.

Ruyan looked at the little “young master” in front of her, whose eyes were clear and had no impure thoughts.

A hint of complexity appeared in her eyes, and she became a little interested for a moment.

“Does it hurt a lot?” Ruyan gently reached out her hand to Ji Wan, who was still sitting on the ground in a daze.

“It’s fine, haha, hiss…”

Ji Wan was about to politely refuse Ruyan’s kindness.

But the next second, the pain of trying to get up made Ji Wan cry out in pain.

“Get up.” Ruyan’s outstretched hand remained in the position of helping Ji Wan up.

Looking at Ji Wan’s silly little look, she thought she was incredibly cute.

Ruyan’s lips curled into a smile, faintly visible under the veil, which was very beautiful and made people’s eyes light up.

“No need, sister.” Ji Wan softly refused.

After all, she was a “pure man” now.

She couldn’t touch a young lady’s hand.

It would be rude and she would look like a scoundrel.

Most importantly, Ji Wan instinctively felt that this seemed a little like… betrayal?

Ji Wan shook off the absurd thought in her mind. She was a single dog, what betrayal?

Ruyan saw that whatever Ji Wan was thinking was all shown on her face.

She couldn’t help but tease with a light laugh, “What? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you? Or do you look down on me because I’m a woman from a brothel?”

“Uh…” Looking at the slender, fair knuckles in front of her.

Ji Wan was a little conflicted for a moment.

With that said, she didn’t know whether to grab it or not.

The surrounding onlookers gradually started to complain.

“Who is this? So ungrateful.”

“Exactly, if it were me,嘿嘿, I would hold the beauty, tsk tsk.”

“If it were me, I wouldn’t wash my hands for three days.”

“Let go of that beauty, let me do it.”

…

The voices of the people around them grew louder, and the crowd slowly gathered.

Some dissatisfied looks also came over.

“Okay then, thank you, sister.” Ji Wan no longer acted prim and proper, and gently took Ruyan’s hand to stand up.

“What are you doing?” a familiar voice came from the crowd.

Huangfu Yue stood in the middle of the crowd, and a hint of anger appeared in the depths of her ink-colored pupils.

From the beginning, she knew that Ji Wan had secretly sneaked out of the princess’s mansion.

To protect her “key.”

She followed Ji Wan all the way.

She watched her little look of hesitation in front of the doggy hole.

She watched Ji Wan being attracted by the outside world.

While secretly protecting Ji Wan, her heart was at peace.

She even had a rare smile on her face.

But since Ji Wan walked towards the famous pleasure place in the capital.

Huangfu Yue’s expression changed.

She forcefully held back from showing herself in front of Ji Wan.

She was relieved when she saw Ji Wan was about to leave.

Until she saw Ji Wan touching the so-called courtesan.

Especially when Ji Wan didn’t resist.

Seeing the two of them getting closer and closer, and Ji Wan’s wrist was about to be touched by another woman.

Huangfu Yue’s face completely darkened.

Ji Wan was really something, she actually dared to come to a place like this.

Well, yeah.

She was nothing more than Ji Wan’s temporary “toy,” used when needed and discarded when tired of.

After all, how Ji Wan lived had nothing to do with her, right?

That was what she said.

But the intense emotions surging in her heart told Huangfu Yue that she couldn’t stand to see Ji Wan touching someone else.

Even if it was just a light touch of their fingertips.

Hearing Huangfu Yue’s voice for some reason.

Ji Wan reflexively pulled her hand back. Ji Wan turned her head to look at the gloomy-faced Huangfu Yue.

She was so scared that she quickly turned her head away, feeling inexplicably guilty.

But Ji Wan quickly came to her senses, why should she be afraid of Huangfu Yue?

This woman had ignored her for several days, why was she now looking at her with an angry expression?

Even if she would be captured by Huangfu Yue later, she was still Huangfu Yue’s master right now.

Thinking this, Ji Wan became firm.

She didn’t turn to look at Huangfu Yue and gently took Ruyan’s hand to stand up.

“What, little friend. Who is this person to you?”

Ruyan’s eyes met Huangfu Yue’s from a distance, and she couldn’t help but show a meaningful expression.

“I don’t know her.” Ji Wan hid behind Ruyan, unwilling to look at Huangfu Yue.

She was clearly still angry.
