C116 West Prefecture (1/2)

On the other side, Chu Jingli and his group had arrived at a county town called the West Prefecture.

”I wonder if that person was right. Does the Empress really pass by here?” In her heart, she whispered to herself.

On the way, they asked around for the Empress's whereabouts. There was a Chai Fu who said that he saw an extremely similar woman in the Western Prefecture, but he didn't know if that was true or not. Chu Jingli naturally couldn't let go of any clues and rushed over without stopping.

”Young Master, let's find an inn to eat first.” Otherwise, it's not convenient to look for it if you're hungry. ” The Phantom Shadow was not for herself, but for her Young Master's body. Even though it was important to find someone, it could not mistreat her body.

Chu Jingli nodded, ”En.”

Just like that, the four of them tied up the horses and entered an inn.

The footman was a meticulous person. Taking advantage of the waiter's greeting, he took out a portrait and asked, ”Has second brother seen this girl before?”

The waiter took the portrait and looked at it carefully, then shook his head, ”My apologies, but I've never seen it before. However, this West Prefecture County is not small, so why don't you ask a few more people.”

”Sorry for disturbing you.” Following his example, he cupped his hands. Because he was in charge of all the businesses in the Zhao Family, he had a lot of experience in dealing with people.

”Waiter, please give us a few of the signature dishes here.” Phantom Shadow always cared a lot about food. In the general's manor, she could fully assume the role of a food butler.

”Do you want wine?” The waiter asked.

Chu Jingli shook his head, ”No need.”

He wouldn't make a mistake like drinking wine or causing trouble.

”Alright!” The waiter nimbly placed the cleaning cloth on his shoulder and smiled as he bowed next to Chu Jingli, ”Master, you're so handsome.”

When she heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. It seemed like the general's beauty was already 'unstoppable', anyone who saw her would praise her.

Of course, the waiter was different from the Ba-Serpent. The Ba-Serpent was greedy, and the waiter had only said this out of good intentions as a reminder.

Why do you say that? Listen to the other guests in the inn.

”Ai, another man has gone missing. I heard he's a young master from Emissary Wang's house. Now Emissary Wang has paid a hefty sum of money to hire someone who's capable enough to track down Young Master Wang.”

”It's already the eighth. That witch is truly arrogant. I wonder where she's hiding the person?”

”I'm guessing we won't be able to find her. That demoness is a fox spirit who kidnapped that handsome man and absorbed his Yang energy.”

Upon hearing this, Phantom's mouth opened wide. What? A vixen? And he was even absorbing the yang aura from these handsome men? Wouldn't his young master be in danger?

He turned to look at his young master, who was drinking tea with absolute calmness.

She left her seat and walked over to the side of the chattering crowd and asked softly, ”What you just said, is it true?”

Seeing that this girl didn't seem like a bad person, one of them answered, ”Of course it's true. The handsome men in the Western Prefecture went missing one after the other and had already alarmed the government. However, the old master of the government couldn't find anything.

”Is it really a woman? But how can a woman have so much strength? ” She spoke out the doubts in her heart.

Aren't most women weak? He couldn't possibly be a match for a man.

”I can only say that the martial arts of that girl is too powerful.”

”I don't think so.” Another person interjected, ”It's obviously a lustful fox. Otherwise, why would it be a handsome man that didn't go missing and had an ordinary appearance?”

It could be seen that the witch was extremely greedy.
