Chapter 494 - The Tipsy Grasshopper (Part-1) (1/2)

Li Xiu moved daintily through the busy market streets, and even if the market area was crowded to the brim she moved with enough grace that she could easily pass through the crowd.

As she moved a scowl began to form on her face while she growled inwardly with anger, 'Those no good friends of mine getting lost in the market and now I will have to find them.'

While she growled in anger at them though she had conveniently forgotten the fact that it was her that got distracted and as a result, she got detached from her group and as such she was lost.

When suddenly she noticed a familiar hair colour, and from looking at the person's back she deduced that it was none other than one of her companions as such she dashed towards with the intent to swat on his head from behind, she neared him raised her hand with the intent to hit him only for her vision to become a blur as she found herself staring up towards the sky as a brief pain shoot through her back.

As her vision return, Li Xu was greeted by the most handsome face she had seen, a face that was matched with a pair of mismatched eyes.

She would have gawked at the face if it were not for the fact that she was reminded of the embarrassing situation she was in.

As such she stood up she spoke in an accusing manner, ”You are not Joseph.”

The red-haired male simply raised one of his brows as he spoke, ”A very astute observation from my assailant.”

Li Xiu blushed as she quickly stood up before she spoke with as much dignity a lady of her stature could muster after being flung on her back on the market streets of Kuvosie.

”How dare you treat a lady like that?”

Ryuu snorted as he spoke, ”A lady should not try to attack someone from behind.”

Li Xu went so red from the embarrassment that she resembled a tomato while a circle small circle seemed to form around them watching their confrontation and from what little Ryuu could pick up the woman that he had just slammed on the ground seemed to be someone from a prominent family, but that was the farthest thing in his mind as he was in a desperate need of some tea.

”Sister Li Xu”, a sudden shout drew her attention as a small smile blossomed on her face as a beautiful green-haired woman soon appeared along with a small group of five.

”Sister Xu, where did you ran off to, we were searching for you.”

Li Xu let out a sigh as she spoke, ”Nothing I was just dealing with this rude ba…”, she wheeled around in search of Ryuu before she shouted out in anger, ”Where did that oaf run off too.”

A loud laughter came from her side drawing her attention as another beauty spoke with mirth in her eyes, ”Please Sister Xu it was so hilarious too watch, you thought that red haired person to be brother Joseph and when you went to hit him from behind he simply flipped you and slammed you hard on the ground it was so hilarious to watch.”

Li Xu turned red once again as one of the ladies gained an amused smirk on her face as she spoke, ”Really, she mistook some for my bother and was slammed on the ground.”

Li Xu huffed as she spoke, ”Yes, laugh it up, some sisters you were we should be searching for him and teach him a lesson but my sisters are so mean that they are trying to laugh at my misfortune, I will cry from such heart break.”

The green-haired woman simply rolled her eyes as she spoke, ”Enough of your drama Li Xu, let us move or else we will the 'Thunder Snow Puffer fish, they have only managed to bring it in limited quantity.”, she then turned towards one of her companions as she spoke, ”Let us move fast sister Jacklin, we have wasted too much time because of miss who was slammed on the ground.”

”Oi that was uncalled for.”

Jacklin rolled her eyes as she spoke, ”Sister we can get revenge later on but now we need to hurry.”, with that the rest followed her while Li Xu stewed in anger for a moment before she stomped towards her destination.

Meanwhile, Ryuu followed after Yu Wu, with Yamamoto trailing after him, as she guided him through the streets of Kuvosie, he was glad that Yu Wu was by his side as he was sure that he would have been lost within the maze that was otherwise known as the market of the city.

”Boss, the 'Tipsy Grasshopper' restaurant is the best restaurant that Kuvosie has to offer, it is premiere institution offering spirit food for cultivators and recently I have received the news that they have acquired Thunder Snow Puffer fish.”

Yamamoto hummed in deep thought before he spoke, ”That is truly a delicacy if they can prepare it properly that is.”
