LOT – Chapter 186 My Master Is Eunuch Li, Who Serves Before the Emperor

After Lin Mo found a place to change out of her official uniform, she immediately followed Bai Xiao’s directions and slipped into a small alley. Before long, she reached the stall they were looking for.

The stall was full of people—most of them tied up—men, women, the elderly, and children. It was clearly a private trafficking market selling human beings.

“Yo, young master wants to buy someone too? I’ve got all kinds here. Look at this girl, isn’t she pretty? Buy her home to serve you—very suitable.”

Whenever Lin Mo casually put on a disguise like this, others would naturally take her for a young lad.

Bai Xiao, dressed plainly, looked handsome as well, but standing behind Lin Mo he gave off the vibe of a book-boy.

Lin Mo put on a deliberately picky expression, then shifted her gaze to the boss. Her stare made the man’s skin crawl.

She thought for a moment, then asked very seriously, “Is it true that you people can sell anything here?”

The boss smirked proudly. “Of course. As long as you want it, we can basically get it done.”

Lin Mo’s expression brightened. She grinned boldly. “Good! You—I’ll buy you! How much?”

Boss: “???”

People passing by: “???”

Even Bai Xiao was stunned by her twisted logic. He whispered a reminder, “He’s the boss. He doesn’t sell himself.”

The boss let out an awkward laugh. “Young master, that’s not a deal I can make. I can’t sell myself, can I?”

Lin Mo shot him a contemptuous look. “Didn’t you just say I could buy anything? Look at these people—so skinny. What can I even use them for? But you—you’re tall and strong. You can do all kinds of work. I’m buying you.”

Laughter rippled among the onlookers.

“Old Ji, the young master’s request is quite something. Why don’t you just agree?”

Old Ji—the boss—slammed his table, face instantly darkening. “You little pretty-boy brat came here looking for trouble, didn’t you?! Get lost! If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Lin Mo’s temper flared as well. Anyway, she had activated her protection system before coming in.

She grabbed the boss’s hand in anger and slammed it onto the table. “What are you yelling for?! Ever heard of customer first?!”

The boss stared at his hand, smashed against the blade-marked table, and screamed, “Are you insane?! If you want to slam something, slam your own hand!”

Who expresses anger by picking up someone else’s hand to smash it on the table? Was she mentally sound?!

Lin Mo looked at him like he was an idiot. “Why would I slam my own hand? What if it hurts?”

Even Bai Xiao quietly gave her a thumbs-up. Truly—shamelessness is invincible!

The boss finally snapped and prepared to attack. “Brothers! Help me grab this little bastard! This tender-skinned kid looks good—let’s take him first! He’ll fetch a high price. We’ll split the money!”

These people had no moral compass. Anyone coming to the black market usually brought many guards to avoid situations like this.

Lin Mo and Bai Xiao coming alone was already rare—mainly because no one else had such guts.

Hearing his words, Lin Mo punched the boss without hesitation. “You dare lay hands on me?! Everyone listen! Money is the least of my worries! Today, I’m buying him! Whoever helps me catch him—I’ll spare your life!”

Onlookers: “??? Spare our lives??”

The people hiding in the shadows were speechless. Lord Lin, watching secretly, wanted to crack open her skull to see what was inside.

To be this arrogant on someone else’s turf—if she didn’t have protection, she’d be dead!

Honestly, even without the protection system, she would still act like this.

The crowd was enraged and rushed to grab her. Lin Mo immediately pulled a dagger from her boot—then began harvesting… eggs.

“Hahahaha! You won’t drink a toast but prefer punishment! Do you know my nickname? I’m the Egg-Cutter Killer!”

Bai Xiao was so horrified he backed into a corner. “She’s crazy—completely crazy!”

In an instant, screams filled the air. Lin Mo had seen a lot—she used to wander around and had even watched people castrate pigs out of curiosity. She had even tried it herself.

“Ahhh! Stop! Stop! We’ll give Old Ji to you! Do whatever you want with him! The stall is yours too!”

After she cut three people, no one dared get close.

Who would risk being castrated? Better to die!

Where had this Egg-Cutter Killer come from? They had never heard of her in the martial world! She looked only fifteen or sixteen!

Lin Mo wiped her dagger on the trembling Xue Wei, then lifted his chin with narrowed eyes. “See? Isn’t it easier when you behave? From now on, this area is under my control.”

Lord Lin and the officials watching secretly: “…”

The Grand Marshal whispered, “You’d better keep a close eye on that girl. Don’t let her loose on the world. Good thing you and His Majesty gave her an official position. If she ever went wandering the martial world… it would fall into chaos.”

If this little demon roamed free, how many men would be left intact? The palace’s eunuch population would skyrocket.

Lord Lin: “…”

Where did she learn such skilled techniques?! What was she doing when they went shopping?!

Soon, the authorities arrived. While Lin Mo was going wild, Bai Xiao had cleverly gone to report the crime.

The whole place was swept clean. Of course, the black market couldn’t be eradicated completely. But the name Egg-Cutter Killer would now spread.

“Wuuuu—I’d rather go to jail! That monster is terrifying! How can such a twisted creature exist?!”

“I get it now! She must be from the palace! They have eunuchs who specialize in castration! She must be a young eunuch apprentice!”

Lin Mo covered her mouth and giggled. Then she lifted her hand in a delicate orchid gesture. “Oh my, you figured it out? My master is Eunuch Li—His Majesty’s personal attendant.”

Eunuch Li, disguised and watching from the shadows: “…”

From this day, Eunuch Li and his “egg-cutting prodigy disciple” became famous throughout the black market—eventually spreading to the entire martial world.

Eunuch Li, previously an unknown palace eunuch, became known as a peerless expert. His “Egg-Cutter Disciple” was said to be his hidden blade.

Rumors claimed the emperor specially trained them to maintain order in the martial world.

The entire jianghu debated this endlessly.

“See? The emperor’s eyes are everywhere. The so-called masters of the martial world are probably just children in his view. Even eunuchs by his side are peerless experts!”

“I heard the Egg-Cutter Killer is an assassin.”

“Exactly! My aunt’s son was killed by him. He used to bully men and harass women. One night he just died suddenly—and that thing of his disappeared!”

(Actually, the girl he tried to assault killed him in self-defense and took his ‘thing’ as she fled.)

“In a way, this is good. There are still many messy things happening in the martial world. It’s nice to have someone cleaning things up.”
