Chapter 445 (2/2)
“I’m leaving!”
Once Athena and the rest of the members had settled down, Ye Lang left Little Xin there and slipped away in a cloud of dust. Athena was about to follow him but couldn’t catch up.
“I can’t believe that jerk still insists to go to the brothel! He can stay there for the night, I don’t want him back here!” Athena clenched her teeth and stomped. However, she knew there would be a serious problem if he didn’t return by nightfall.
Although Ye Lang often lost his way, he was very familiar with the Imperial City so he should be alright for the moment. She wasn’t too worried.
Naturally, he was heading towards the place he wanted to visit most first. Ye Lang stuck out a hand to flag a carriage.
“The auction house please!”
He first wanted to go to the auction house, the Romantic Floor was second. As for Ye Residence, he could only go at night.
However, wasn’t he afraid people would be suspicious if he walked like this in the streets? For that, his answer was: I don’t care!
So what if they recognise me? I’ll escape the moment I get my stuff, they won’t be able to catch me!
Ye Lang’s fox disguise was still on but he had already taken off his sunglasses. He travelled through the Imperial City with a magnetism that turned heads.
Why did he take off his shades?
That’s simple, if he took off his shades, no one would think he was one of the members of the tiger and the fox tribe’s foreign relations team. Hence they would not make connections between him and them.
This was because everyone recognised the team based on their shades now!
With the rest wearing shades, it was even easier to differentiate between himself and them!
Athena needn’t worry for Ye Lang was not going back to mix with the team. He was definitely going to stay out of the Hundred Beast District, preferable at the Romantic Floor if he could.
Ye Lang had stayed in different places within the Imperial City and the Romantic Floor was one of them. Other places might not be suitable for the moment.
Why?
The first was the seventh princess’ palace. The eighth princess had this place closely guarded and it would be very risky for him to enter.
As for the Ye Residence, it was as risky as entering the palace…
Never mind that, I hope there’s something good at the auction!
Just like that, Ye Lang stepped into a place he had not visited in a very long time. A place he had missed dearly.
At the auction house, since Ye Lang was ‘new’, he had to register his name and take a number…
“What is your name?”
“My name is Ford. Ford Fox.” Ye Lang gave a random name after a moment of thought.
In reality, not many beastmen had a family name. Those who had one were from powerful clans, most of them at least half-human.
There was coincidental, there was a half-beastmen family who was descendants of the fox tribes on the mainland. They were very wealthy and primarily dealt in trade--- most importantly, their family name was also Fox.
Ye Lang had no idea he’d given himself a family name that already existed. Hence, everyone naturally thought he was one of the young masters of the clan and this saved Ye Lang a lot of suspicion and questions. This was how Ye Lang had, once again, another layer of protection from another clan.
As for the name Ford, well, he was thinking of cars at the time. And Fox, naturally, was because he was a fox!
