Chapter 234 (2/2)

It was an afternoon half a month later. A carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the most popular hotel in Alexandria, a huge city in the Ai La Empire.

Although the horse carriage wasn’t very luxurious, nor was it very eye-catching, no one would ever assume the people inside were regular commoners- because anyone who dared stop here would never be a commoner!

Then, this seemingly normal carriage piqued interest. The people there had seen too many luxurious carriages around, so this was something new.

Everyone nearby looked up out of habit to see who was going to step out.

“Oh fuck, what is that? Why is his skin black?!”

“Woah, that man must be very healthy!”

“...”

The first person to step out of the carriage was a dark-skinned youth. No, not, dark-skinned, more like coal-black-skinned!

If this man appeared at night, no one would even see him!

He was of course Edward. Ye Lang and Little Xin were also in the carriage. After leaving the mountains, Ye Lang quickly found a carriage because he didn’t like riding. It was exhausting.

“Little Black, so this is the biggest and most luxurious place in town? Jewel Moon Palace?” asked Ye Lang, looking up at the hotel after getting off the carriage.

Based on Ye Lang’s personality, he would always choose the most expensive, most luxurious place to live whenever he visited a city. Edward understood this too, hence his quick suggestion for him to stay here.

Edward seemed to be very familiar with Alexandria. He had to keep asking for directions in the previous cities, but he didn’t need to here. They went straight to the hotel.

“Don’t call me Little Black, I’m Edward!!”protested Edward. Ye Lang had recently taken delight in calling him Little Black, after his skin.

It sounded like something you’d name your dog!!

That was what Edward told Ye Lang, but Ye Lang said, “But I’m talking to you, not a dog.”

Afterwards, Edward had to force himself to put up with it. He couldn’t stop Ye Lang. Unfortunately, that one time Ye Lang saw a little black dog, he’d literally called the dog Little Black too!

Ye Lang nodded, “Alright! Little Black, let’s go! Little Black!”

“...” Edward wanted to beat Ye Lang up to teach him a lesson but gave up when he saw Little Xin.

It wasn’t because he felt like he couldn’t beat Little Xin. He understood that if he were to fight Little Xin, the consequences wouldn’t feel very good- and the fight might even last more than half a day before they could determine a winner.

The Jewel Moon Palace lived up to its reputation, for everything inside oozed with luxury and elegance. The shiny golden foyer might have been a little too cliché for some, but many people liked it a lot.

Then again, many people would consider cash money another cheezy, cliché extravagance- but liked money anyway. Hence, cliche wouldn’t necessarily mean no one would like it. Instead, they liked it because it was a cliché!

Let’s not forget that a cliché is used one something that is overused- why would it be overused if people didn’t like it in the first place? Therefore, people only call it ‘cliché’ because they couldn’t afford it, as if it was beneath them.

If someone asked Ye Lang if it was a little too cliché, his answer would definitely be…

‘Of course it is! I am a walking cliché myself!’

Everyone has a cliché side, a side where they're like everyone else. On the other hand, they have something unique to them too. We’re all unique individuals after all- even if you’re a walking cliché!
