She positioned herself as the most "affordable" female assassin ever, and her first assignment was to eliminate someone known in the underworld as "Fast Sword."
Determined to teach this ungrateful employer a lesson, she found that this job turned out to be nothing short of a farce!
Her employer resembled the typical arrogant young master, but this performance was utterly unpredictable.
A soldier may be killed but cannot be humiliated; to prove her worth, even when dragged into this mess by her foolish employer, she found herself surprisingly willing to embrace the chaos.
What did it matter if she was poisoned? What did it matter if she was angry? In front of this blushing beauty, who still managed to look charming despite the turmoil, her heart fluttered precariously...

Meng Po Hall was one of the most mysterious assassin organizations in recent years, specializing in training female assassins. Their appearances ranged from innocent and pure to stunningly seductive, each possessing unique skills capable of ending lives in an instant.
The assassins of Meng Po Hall had fixed prices for their services; however, the fees were not determined by the identity of the target but rather by the identity of the assassin herself. On one hand, this showcased their capabilities—regardless of who their target was, they were confident in their ability to succeed. On the other hand, it enhanced their reputation in the underworld, making them seem both righteous and wicked, shrouded in mystery.
For instance, the top-ranked assassin Poison Peach Blossom Tao Hongxiao charged five thousand taels of gold for a single kill; meanwhile, at the bottom of the ranks was a newcomer from Meng Po Hall, known as Luo Hongyi, who only demanded a mere hundred taels of silver!
"A hundred taels? Are you sure?" The hall master of Meng Po Hall, Hua Jinse, frowned and paused with her pen in hand. "Are you certain you want to lower our standards to this extent?"
"But this is my first time! I have no experience, so I can't charge too much. Besides, if I set my price as high as sister Hongxiao and then mess up a job, where would that leave our reputation at Meng Po Hall? The safest approach is to start small!" Luo Hongyi said as she tugged at Hua Jinse's arm gently, shaking it until Hua Jinse reluctantly raised her hand and replied, "Fine, fine! No matter how much you charge, I will take forty percent!"
"Deal!" A satisfied smile spread across Luo Hongyi's round face. After ten years of rigorous training, she finally awaited the day to "officially open for business"!
She firmly believed that the price she set for Meng Po Hall was the lowest in history, and it would undoubtedly attract a large number of clients to hire her. By then, as she accumulated more kills and gained fame, she might even become a pillar of Meng Po Hall, shining like a star just like sister Hongxiao!
On the second day after her official listing on the Meng Po Hall killer roster, Hua Jinse brought her an absolutely "exciting" piece of news.
Luo Hongyi took a bite of her apple, looking at Hua Jinse with disbelief. "So soon someone wants to hire me by name?"
"Yes!" Hua Jinse pouted. "They even sent a deposit of fifty taels! But... can you guess who they want you to kill?"
"Who?" Luo Hongyi quickened her chewing, trying to swallow the apple in her mouth as fast as possible.
"Gu Huachang!"
"Pfft!" The apple bits in Luo Hongyi's mouth sprayed all over Hua Jinse's clothes.
Hua Jinse's delicate features twitched slightly. "Good, I'm very satisfied with your reaction!"
"Sister Jinse, the Gu Huachang you just mentioned—he's the one who defeated Shaolin Temple's Master of Fade to Black right after debuting? I've heard that his sword strikes like lightning, not giving anyone a chance to fight back. Someone actually wants me to kill such a formidable figure as my first target in my career?"
Hua Jinse, who was on the verge of losing her temper, shouted angrily, "Can you please wake up? The key issue here is one hundred taels! They want you to kill the number one ranked Fast Sword Gu Huachang for just one hundred taels! This guy is either out of his mind or deliberately trying to mess with us at Meng Po Hall! So you'd better go 'remind' this fool who's got water in his brain!"
"But our Meng Po Hall has always had the rule that we don't care who we kill as long as they pay..."
"Luo Hongyi!" Hua Jinse shook her by the shoulders in frustration. "If a killer like you can take down Gu Huachang for just one hundred taels, how are sister Hongxiao and the others supposed to survive?"
"That makes sense!" Luo Hongyi said thoughtfully. "Sister Jinse, don't worry. I'll pack my things and go meet this guy! I'll make sure to handle everything beautifully and come back!"
"Are you sure you understand what I mean?" Hua Jinse looked at the person who had already started packing, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition.
"I understand! Of course I do!" Luo Hongyi replied emphatically, nodding repeatedly like a chick pecking at grains.
