199 Once again, Shen Family 4 (1/2)

Having left with nothing else to say, An Fei departed from the perplexing and unusual ragged stall owned by Shen Haoren.

The young girl backtracked through the entire dark alleyway with an impatient heart, only releasing a sigh of relief when she found herself standing in the crowded western streets of the Harmony Road.

”Xiao Hei, what do you think of this matter? Shen Residence?”

The young girl asked her partner with a dark voice, her countenance flickering with anger and skepticism.

An Fei stared at her thumbs then onto the darkening sky, her heart deepening with another sigh blossoming from her chest.

Caw!

The little raven shrieked with caution, its wings ruffling the young girl's shoulder.

”I think so too, ah.”

An Fei muttered, electing to depart from the Harmony Road to think things over.

Swiftly purchasing a bag of cured jerky for the small fox to gnaw on, the young girl's figure slipped away from Bone Spirit Town's road of commerce without a single sound.

…she didn't know that a pair of observant and surprised eyes monitored her general whereabouts ever since she departed from the hidden sewer stall.

The mysterious owner of the eyes frowned upon directing another glance at the last position An Fei had been in the Harmony Road.

Mumbling to themselves whether to take action or not, the shadowed figure nibbled on his lower lip before writing on a piece of paper and attaching it to the leg of a carrier pigeon.

Perhaps that person would know what to do next?

”Why does the Shen Family want to see me so urgently?”

The next day, An Fei had unsurprisingly stepped onto the Purity Road, one of the streets that she had yet to investigate since she had arrived at Bone Spirit Town.

The young girl's eyes flickered with a touch of amazement when she entered the street, her eyes carefully observing their surroundings.

The Purity Road was unlike the other streets she had toured, for the road itself wasn't constructed from cobbled stone, but a paved mineral.

The ground was smooth and flat to the touch, devoid of any blemish or structural compromise.

The color of the road was a light brown, and numerous wooden carriages raced along either side. The colorful neighing of energetic horses, and the chants of the carriage drivers were the only living sounds within the Purity Road.

An Fei could not discover any streetside stall regardless of her search; it was as though small-scaled enterprises were banned on the street.

”Long Shen Tian Xing… Burnt River Weapons Storehouse… Ice River Hall Branch…” the young girl read the nameplates of the buildings to herself in a quiet voice.

Caw!

The second difference between the Purity Road and the other principal streets of Bone Spirit Town was the style in which the buildings were constructed.

Compared to the uniform, wooden structure of the other streets, the buildings of the Purity Road spanned a diverse range of creations.

Some were made of cobbled stone, whilst others were carefully manicured from fragrant and rare wooden materials.

An Fei noticed a rare few that were constructed almost entirely from a metallic substance, but the architectural design of these buildings were thankfully, relatively uniform.

A triangularly planed roof of tiles, with a uniform arrangement of beams, joists, and angular structures at regular intervals.

The only issue the young girl could immediately discern regarding the Purity Road's buildings…

…were the names on the signboards above each building!

Ice River Hall Branch… was that supposed to be a secular martial arts sect of the jianghu? And what was with this Western Xing Clan Medicinal Branch?

Branch this, Branch that – was this Purity Road completely overtaken by foreign entities that spanned the entirety of Bone Spirit Town and so much more?

”Xiao Hei, what do you think of these buildings?” the young girl released a light sigh.

”Don't you think that this… Bone Spirit Town… is lacking? Besides, where is this Shen Residence that I'm supposed to find answers at?”

Caw!

The little raven tilted its head in puzzlement, the crimson eyes flashing with a tender violet hue before returning to normal.

The little creature lightly boxed the young girl on her neck with its wings as though to express its confusion.
