18 First date (2/2)
”I came to see if you can make a soft armor from this pelt” Hartley replied and proceeded to remove the pelt from his space ring.
Zhi Ruo looked curiously at the pelt and Hartley walked forward and handed it over. Zhi Ruo appraised the pelt and exclaimed,
”thi is a half step xiantian Giant wild boar pelt, but it isn't intact. I can probably salvage enough of it to make a one piece under armor for you but it will cost you 25 gold because the processing procedure is rather complicated.”
Hartley bowed from the waist and said ”thank you sister Ruo.”
She then went to the back and put the pelt away and returned, Hartley awkwardly tried to make small talk and then asked if she was free to have dinner at the one of the restaurants. She blushed and then told him to wait in the shop while she finished up for the day. Hartley waited patiently and when Zhi Ruo returned, she was wearing a one piece long green slim fitting dress, she wasn't as curvy as Zhang Shisu from STellar mountain, but she did have curves.
Hartely watched as she glided across the room towards him, he noticed her two firm peaks slightly bouncing up and down as she walked.....
Now it was about dusk and the orange purplish sun was peaking from behind an overcast sky, the clouds were painted with an orange color as long shadows descended down in the backdrop making a surreal scene of natural beauty that one wouldn't notice unless they took time out to look.
At the entrance of a restaurant there stood a couple, one wearing a red robe and the other wearing a long green dress that hugged her body like a mother protecting a newborn.
Above them was a beautiful red signboard caligraphed with the words ”Dragon Stew Restaurant.” They entered the establishment and were immediately greeted by a courteous waiter on call. Even though Zhi Ruo was older than Hartley, he had a mature aura about him that didn't look out of place.
They were escorted to the second floor and seated in the middle row, it was relatively empty and they settled into a table with two chairs. Hartley didn't know much about restaurant quality food. He had survived his whole life on roasted meat, fruits and herbs, so he asked Zhi Ruo to order all the delicacies on the menu. They talked as Hartley tried all the dishes and drank a jug of sake prepared by the staff. As the evening progressed Hartley was in bliss and he had reverted back to a normal male teenager with a crush on a girl....Hartley's face suddenly went serious, there was an overwhelming sense of danger coming from all directions...
