Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Many men looked at her with lecherous gazes. Her bodysuit didn’t exactly hide her curvy figure and it made it very easy for them to ogle at her assets with desire.

But fortunately for them, Anya ignored everything as if nothing was happening. She was used to these kinds of gazes ever since she started her career as a mercenary.

This kind of clothing was the best move for her. Besides, if they dared to do something to her, she would use her claws to cut them into pieces and feed them to the animals.

The women weren’t any better. Some of them whispered to each other, calling her with many names such as whore and slut while looking at her in disgust as if she was doing something wrong. But she didn’t care about that either because they were just jealous.

’People here are so innocent~ There are many who dress more skimpy than me, just wearing a bikini. I wonder how they would react if I showed them what we have on earth.’

She wondered as she continued walking down the street where merchants selling products ranging from food and clothes lined up on both sides of the road.

A nice aroma wafted into her nose which made her mouth water as she followed it unconsciously towards one of the food stalls located nearby.

When she arrived, Anya saw a woman looking at the stall with interest. She took interest in the woman but decided to ignore her. Skewer was more important for her.

"Please give me one!" She ordered excitedly before handing over some cash to pay for it.

"Here you go." The man behind the stall replied happily before handing over a skewer containing meat marinated in sweet sauce.

Anya thanked him and bit into it hungrily, savoring every bite. The juice from the meat trickled down her chin as she enjoyed the delicious flavor of the skewered meat mixed with the tangy spices mixed with a hint of sweetness from the sauce covering it. It tasted really good and made her want to eat more.

However, she stopped at the second bite because she felt a gaze on her. The woman standing not too far away from the stall looked at her jealousy. Saliva dripped down the corner of her lips as she stared at the skewer in Anya’s hand with lustful eyes.

"What?" Anya asked out loud. "You want it?"

The woman immediately averted her gaze elsewhere while blushing red.

"T-There is no way a young lady from a prestigious clan like me would want that dirty food. It is vulgar and lowly for me to eat it."

"If you say so~" Shrugging, Anya returned to enjoy her meal, leaving the woman to watch enviously as she ate the delicious-looking skewer. "Hnn~ It’s so delicious."

She had no idea why the woman was staring at her so intently. Did she actually want the skewer?

Anya liked meat. And she knew that no one disliked meat. Even a princess who was spoiled all her life and never touched anything other than high-class cuisine must’ve had a taste of meat too. Everyone has to eat, after all.

With that in mind, Anya turned around to get two more skewers and handed one to the woman.

"Here, try it. It’s good." She offered as she held out the skewer in front of the woman’s face with a friendly smile. "I am Anya by the way."

The woman hesitated for a moment before taking the skewer cautiously and slowly took a small bite. Her expression suddenly changed immediately as soon as she tasted the meat on her tongue. She looked down at the skewer and chewed carefully before swallowing.

"Mmm... Delicious..." She murmured in amazement while licking her lips and savoring the flavor lingering in her mouth. "T-Thank you. I am Peng Li-Yue... Not. Hmph!

This is just... to taste it."

Peng Li-Yue assumed a proud attitude in front of her, as if she wasn’t really hungry and Anya just forced her to try it. However, Anya didn’t care about it.

The street where they ate skewers suddenly became silent. It wasn’t strange as night arrived, but there was also something different that made it become like that.

"Young Miss Peng."

A group of people dressed in blue robes approached Peng Li-Yue. From their gazes, it was apparent that they came to pick her up.

"Let’s return. It’s already so late, Young Miss." One of them said with concern.

"No." Peng Li-Yue refused firmly while stepping back from them. "I don’t want to go back. You’re just trying to use me. Father doesn’t love me. He only loves that stupid son of his and uses me as a political advantage! I hate him so much!"

With tears in her eyes, Peng Li-Yue yelled angrily. Everyone in the vicinity didn’t want to get involved as they saw who these people were. No one wanted to get the ire of the Peng Clan.

Anya was surprised by what she heard just now. She didn’t think she would listen to a drama right in front of her eyes.

’Love drama?!’ Her eyes sparkled. ’This is what I love!’

Seeing a chance, Anya decided to help this spoiled brat. She sneaked behind one of them and knocked him unconscious in a single strike. She used her claws and pierced his heart like a needle on cloth.

There was no need to kill them. Just knocking them out cold would be enough for her. The Peng Clan didn’t have to know what happened here after all.

"Eh?" Peng Li-Yue gasped when she saw this.

Instantly, more than 5 martial artists from Peng Clan fell into the ground with a loud thud. They were by no means weak. All of them were at least 3 Stars martial artists, a stage that many couldn’t even hope to reach.

However, the blonde-haired woman in front of them was too fast for them to react. She appeared in front of them with her claws raised and stabbed them easily before they could even attempt to retaliate against her. It happened so fast that their minds couldn’t comprehend what happened until it was already too late for them.

"You." Anya pointed at Peng Li-Yue while thinking this would help her act better in front of her. "Let’s run."

"Huh? B-But..." Peng Li-Yue seemed hesitant at first but after seeing the look on Anya’s face, she nodded weakly and followed behind her.

After running, she asked Peng Li-Yue many things and introduced Hallowed Insects and what her job was. Finally, Peng Li-Yue nodded and decided to request for their help.

’Peng Clan is one of the Five Great Murim Clans, a great noble clan that is very rich in their resources. Leader will be happy! I secured a potential job for him. I wonder if he will praise me~?’

Thinking about that, Anya quickly called Leo.
