Liena gulped down her saliva watching the girl eat, but realizing what she was doing, she became embarrassed.

"Heavens! What the hell am I doing? Looking at other people when they are eating! So shameless."- Liena slapped her face brought her back to reality, she was annoyed by her inappropriate behavior.

Not even in her dreams, did she think she would conduct herself like this. She realized now, why the maidservants who regularly served her foods would always look at her plates with glittering eyes. They must have felt the same way she felt today, but they never lost their composure as she just did, she was really hopeless.

'Damn it! Today I am misbehaving because I have never been this hungry before. I should have eaten food when I was at the restaurant. It was such a waste leaving without eating anything at all.'

While Liena was fuming and stomping her feet, the girl ate half of the buns in the basket and drank water. She then burped loudly, which disrupted some people's good mood who sat close to her bench. Furrowing their brows, they gave her a disgusting look like she was some reptile.

The girl discerned everyone's simmering look but ignored everything as if nothing happened and continued burping as if it was birds chirping.

People understood they couldn't win over this shameless girl unless they beat her to death. She already ruined their mood, so all they could do now was to leave this place immediately before losing their patience.

Nuwa's face became bright when she observed everyone left, soon she went somewhere for about ten minutes and returned with a sack while humming cheerfully.

She then opened her dirty bag and started to set up a tent around the bench with a piece of cloth.

Liena's face was in awe from the surprise. She wanted to applaud for the girl's cleverness. Disregarding everyone' presence as if air, and did whatever she wanted- she had never met anyone like her before. She was courageous. Liena started to laugh. It was so loud that she had to cover her mouth with her hands.

After building up the tent, Nuwa placed all her belongings inside it and sat on another bench. Then she started eating again but failed to notice that some people were approaching her.

Some kid stood in front of her with their hands on their hips watching the girl immersed in her food. They were locals and so they knew the girl well. There was a smug smile on the corners of their lips, as they were observing her.

They were laughing mischievously at Nuwa who was using her hands while eating and chewing loudly. There were muds and dirt on her face, and her hair was very unruly, like a bird's nest.

Liena felt agony in her heart, she felt very emotional, because this scene was so heartbreaking.

For some reason, those bullies' faces were delighted as if they were enjoying a live circus show. They seemed so satisfied with her miseries; without any doubt, they were mocking her.


The girl lifted up her head and knitted her brows as she was surprised by the sudden noise. Noticing who was in front of her, she frowned as if seeing a natural enemy. It was a clear sign, that she felt disturbed by their presence.

Disregarding Nuwas clear annoyed expression, they stared at her. This time, their eyes gave her daggers, like she was a brazen servant who dishonored her master.

Nuwa looked away from them and started eating again as if nothing happened. Nothing in this world is more important than eating those sweet buns which mister gifted her today.

The gang leader, who was wearing a gorgeous red robe and was holding a peacock feather fan, looked between thirteen to fifteen years old, narrowed his eyes with disbelief. With one glance anyone could tell he did not only came from a noble family but perhaps royalty. Despite a being a little bit of chubby, he looked very handsome.

He was clenching his fists tightly. He still could not believe this girl didn't take his offer to become his slave. It had been two weeks since he offered this chance to her. He even promised if she satisfied him, he'd give her one of his concubine's position in the future. He had never made nor uttered this type of promise to anyone in his whole life, except her. However, every time he approached her, she declined him mercilessly.

But he did not know why, the more she rejected him, the more he became curious, so the more he wanted her.

He was curious why she didn't like him when like bees and butterflies, girls always would curry favors with him.

As well as, why her eyes were so unusual!

She never answered him. Moreover, she despised him!

So this time he came with his friends. He presumed that today no matter what, she will accept him as her master. Deep in his heart, he was sorry for his action, but this was the only way he could do to make her become obedient and his slave.

Beside him, were two girls around Nuwa's age, wearing the same yellow colored robes and they were staring at Nuwa disgustingly with gritted teeth and clenching fists like she was a wild creature. They didn't understand the red-robed boy. What was so special about this dirty beggar that he became so curious to the point, he'd be pestering her? He even spoke to her in a gentle voice. They didn't get it, so, they became jealous.

And behind them were five boys, they could not tolerate Nuwa's indifferent behavior anymore. They became furious as one of them, who was wearing a green robe, started to mock her saying,

"This master didn't know that you even started to eat dog food."

Beside him, there was a fatty who had red hair, also mocked her as he chuckled saying,

"Who knows? What if she's snatched food from that poor dog!"

There were some dogs nearby, sulking and eating foods that tourists dropped. So it stimulated the gang more. They ridiculed Nuwa by saying one after another humiliating sentence.

Nuwa did not oppose them nor looked at them. She did not say anything as if they were small flies. She then started making noise while eating,

"...Ummm...so.....tasty..."

She was nodding and eating like she was enjoying a royal feast alone. These people missed a big chance by not participating in it.

Everyone's jaw dropped. They were shocked at her behavior.

"Was she deaf? How could someone tolerate such insults! Were her ears made with Rhinoceros skin that sound couldn't penetrate it?'

The bullies, as well as the red robbed boy, suddenly became angry. They felt very humiliated by her indifference. They snatched the bread from her hand and threw it away to a nearby dog. The dog smelled it. Afterward, it walked away. It wasn't interesting to eat bread. The boys found the scene very funny as they laughed loudly while touching their bellies.

They were satisfied with the dog performance because they wanted to teach this dirty girl a good lesson. Made her understood her level, which was lower than a dog.

'How dare a lowly girl disregarded and loathed at them! What was she? Lower than a street animal. Even a dog didn't want her stuff, but she was acting all high and mighty in front of prime minister's son? How dare she?'

They thought it was their right to do whatever they wanted to since they were young master Qiang's allies. They had been following the red-robbed boy since they were young.

They wanted Nuwa to be their young master Qiang's slave. It was her nine generations fortune that she could work under their young master. But she refused and said that she'd rather live in the slums and became a street dog, then become obedient to filthy riches.

Her words humiliated their young master. So as his die-hard followers, they also felt humiliated. So they started to bully her whenever they felt like it. No matter what, she had to accept young master Qiang as her master. So it was their right to teach this beggar girl a lesson until she became obedient. No one could stop them.

Princess Liena, who was observing everything from not too far away, narrowed her eyes in anger and disbelief. She was so angry that her blood was boiling, she could feel the rising temperature in her body as it was also trembling. She clenched her fists tightly. A princess who lived all of her life in the palace, she obviously knew how dirty the politicians were and how they misused their powers by using it for their selfish reasons. She had met a lot of people who were a wolf in sheep's clothing.

But she could not imagine that someone could bully a poor person like this in public!

How could they bully a poor girl? Moreover, those bullies were young. At such a young age, their words were so vicious and nasty like there was not a bit of humanity left in their hearts.

As a kingdom's princess, she could not tolerate it. She had to be righteous after all, she also bore the responsibilities of people. Since this was happening, she must stand for justice. So she wanted to scream,

'Stop bullying her.'

Before she could bellow, she suddenly stopped. She knew yelling wouldn't help the girl. She already did it in the past, but the results were terrible. She lost her only brother because of bad decisions. So she didn't want to see the same mistake happen again.

So she became anxious, thinking this and that, her brain felt spinning from too much pressure but still she could not find any immediate solutions for this problem.

As if remembering something, she quickly took a sack out from her sleeves and hurriedly opened it. There was a bell in it, so after taking out, she started to shake it.

But shockingly, it didn't ring.
