Glamorous Journey Of The Female Protagonist Chapter 136

The packages had new clothes inside them. The quality of the clothes was obviously not the best but neither cheapest.
Li Ming made sure that the clothes were comfortable to be worn in the summer season.
The two girls also found simple but beautiful hairpins along with their dresses.
"These clothes are perfect to give you entrance into any shop in the capital market or the black market and also to mix you with the normal crowd. You won't stand out either as a rich or poor." Li Ming told them as the four youths immediately thanked her for the clothes.
"These clothes are made by Jin Jing and her mother. You should thank them instead," Li Ming said as she took out four pouches and a token from one of the drawers.
After the four youths showed their gratitude towards Jin Jing for the clothes, Li Ming handed the pouches to each of them with ten silvers inside each of the pouch and gave the token to Sue Mei.
"Your task is to find out a name. The person who visits the capital market and the black market the most. They could be different people but also could be the same. Of course, you can try to find out about what's the reason behind their visits but make sure to not overdo your first attempt. I won't be present here today which means that I can't save you all if you ended up in any problem. You need to give me a name tomorrow morning but I don't want to take care of any mess. So, try to be cautious. Now go and get dressed. I'll see you all in fifteen minutes to drop you all in the capital market." Li Ming dismissed the four of them.
The four youths left the study, leaving Jin Jing and Zi Yen behind. The two girls had stayed silent all this time.
Li Ming signaled them to pick up the rest two packages.
"Get ready. You two will be accompanying me today. It's time you guys come out of your shells and learn more about this world." Li Ming told the two girls who immediately left the room to get ready.
Li Ming also entered into the magical mansion to get ready.

She took a quick shower and blow-dried her long hair which she pulled up in a high ponytail with a golden hairpin. The heavy silky soft hair falling on her back as she curled them slightly to give them the final touch.
After applying lotion, she pulled on a purple dress. Since she was still too short, Li Ming took out a pair of three inches black leather heels and put them on.
After putting her lip balm and mascara, she put on a matching veil.
The auction was really important for her. She would not have taken such an effort to look good, intimidating, and powerful to just attend an auction if it was actually just an auction.
The heels gave her an extra few inches and she no more looked like a fourteen-year-old young girl though still someone in her teenage.
After making sure that she was ready to go, Li Ming left the magical mansion and appeared in the front lawn of the orphanage.
"Wow, Miss Li! You are looking so beautiful." One of the young girls who was playing in the garden with a couple of other children exclaimed with amazement after looking at their beautiful miss.
Li Ming chuckled softly while she pinched the soft cheeks of the girl lightly, thanking her for the compliment.
Barely a minute later, the six youths came out of the orphanage. All looking beautiful in their new clothes, more confident and bright.
Old Mo and Old Madam also followed behind them and greeted Li Ming.
"Miss Li, you are looking stunning." Sue Mei complimented her as she looked at her master in awe.
Li Ming always had that confident and powerful aura around her, but due to her calm and kind nature and her humble appearance, it was easy for everyone to forget her status as the young miss of a noble family and that she was far more powerful than everyone living in the village.
But looking at the young girl who looked far more mature for her age and was emitting a powerful aura, once again everyone realized just how modest their master was.
Whenever she had used her powers in front of them, it was always to help them in one way or another. Never they saw her using it to control someone or to scare people.

"Madam, these six will not be here for a day. Hope it's not a problem." Li Ming said to the Old Madam with a polite tone.
"Of course, not Miss Li. We know that they will be safe as long as they are with you and to be honest, these are one of the most sensible and smart ones." The Madam hurriedly replied.
"Great then, we will be leaving now." Li Ming told the old couple who then returned inside the orphanage after ushering the other children inside too for their morning classes.
"I'm going to blindfold you. Don't take it off until I tell you to, alright?" Li Ming commanded the six youths and all of them hurriedly nodded their heads, though they looked a little confused.
With a flick of her fingers, a blindfold covered all of their eyes, making sure that none of them could see anything except the darkness behind their closed eyes.
She had just broken through the High Cultivator level but she was still not strong enough to teleport six people along with her, four to the Black market, and then two to the Wang Empire.
Therefore, she first entered into the magical mansion along with the six blindfolded youths and then teleported to her favorite alley in the market of the capital city of the Han Empire.
The moment her four assistants landed in the alley, their blindfolds disappeared, but unfortunately, they were not in any state to observe their surroundings.
The four of them took a few minutes to get a hold of their spinning world. The nausea that had crept up at the weird feeling of getting sucked into a dark creepy hole, slowly subsided.
Li Ming felt bad for the poor children, they reminded of her young self as a mage when she mostly ended up sick and sometimes even puking her guts out.
"That was so..." When Lei Yong stopped and looked like he was searching for a word to fill that blank.
"...scary, unbelievable?" His sister suggested as she stood up straight and went to look at Sue Mei who was still leaning against one of the walls of a shop.
"Don't worry, you will get used to it." Li Ming told them and took a chocolate bar out of her stock, handing a piece to each four of them.
"Try it. You will feel energized." At her suggestion, all four of them hurriedly chewed down the sweet flavored thing. It was actually delicious, at least the girls loved it.
"This alley is very close to the inn which opened into the black market. You will find the inn at the very end of this street, give four silver taels to the owner of the inn and you will be allowed to enter into the black market. Make sure to look confident and don't draw the attention towards you. As long as you won't cause a ruckus in the black market, the guards would leave you alone to do your business. I'll suggest you guys to start from the main market first before going to the black market. Use your taels to eat lunch and last but not least, I want all of you to enter into the Black Jade Inn before the sunset. Show that token to Elder Fu and he will give you two rooms to stay and you will get the dinner too. Alright?" Li Ming asked to make sure that the four of them had listened and understood her words clearly.
The four youths nodded their heads as they thanked Li Ming for her help.
After saying their farewell, the four of them left the alley and entered into the bright and bustling market street of the Han Empire.
Li Ming immediately teleported to the Black Jade Inn and informed Elder Fu about her four assistants visiting the inn later that day.
Elder Fu assured her that he will take care of the four youths in her absence.
Li Ming had done her best to make their first task as easy and safe as she could. Now the rest was left in the hands of the four of them. Let's hope they won't disappoint her.
And after that, Li Ming finally teleported to the market street of the Wang Empire with two blindfolded girls, and surprisingly none of the two were looking nauseous.
