192 Beautiful (2/2)

”Xiaoyun, we are going shopping,” Xue Wei called out to the closed door. ”Do you want to join us?”

There was no answer, initially, but the door creaked open a few moments later. Her face was still adorably red. Xue Wei chuckled again and went to take her hand.

”Princess, let me escort you to go shopping,” he said charmingly. She nodded her head, but she seemed to be in deep thought for a second. ”I want a veil,” she suddenly added.

”My face was disfigured in the past, but now it is not. People will be able to connect the dots and know I took the Rebirth Pill. If they know I took it, then it is clear that they can guess our connection with the formation master.”

”Let them guess,” Xue Wei said as he shrugged his shoulders. ”I like looking at you. You are beautiful!”

Wang Xiaoyun smiled and blushed. Xue Wei's compliments made her feel good.

Together, the four friends left the King's Floor. When they stepped onto the ground floor of the hotel, the manager recognized them right away.

He had already knew that they had the Rebirth Pill and that the woman would take it, but he was dumbstruck when he saw her new appearance.

He was not the only one, many of the experts in the lobby were shocked. Many men started looking at her with lust and greed in their eyes. This annoyed Xue Wei.

”Maybe a veil is not a bad idea,” he said with a nod of his head, suddenly changing his opinion.

Hei Gou and Bai Tianyi chuckled at his sudden display of jealousy, and Wang Xiaoyun just giggled at the display he made.

”Ah, manager Hu,” Xue Wei saw the manager rushing towards them.

”What is it that the young lords and the lady need?” he asked in a friendly way, eager to do his very best to please them.

”We are heading out into the city to do some shopping,” Xue Wei said smilingly. ”We will be back later, so if we can get some food when we return that'd be great.”

”Rest assured, young lord!” Manager Hu said with near-frenzy. ”We will reserve a private room at the restaurant for you. When you arrive, just use your name, Ye Xiao, and they will instantly lead you to the room where all kinds of delicacies will be prepared alongside our best wines.”

Xue Wei knew that he would be stuck with the name Ye Xiao for some time, but he did not really care. It was better than his real name being recognized.

”In that case, I will thank manager Hu,” Xue Wei cupped his fists towards the manager before he and his friends left the hotel.

The ones who could stay in the hotel were all extremely important people with a lot of gold coins, and thus many less law-abiding individuals would keep an eye on them and make a move whenever they were to leave the hotel.

Xue Wei and his friends were not very strong when one looked at them from the outside. So they were quickly marked by the ones who were scouting for prey by the entrance.

Not only could they gain gold coins, when they looked at Wang Xiaoyun they instantly knew that she could be sold for a high price on the black market.

Although humans were allied together and slavery was illegal, there were black markets where everything could be bought, including slaves.

The black market was used by both humans and primordial beasts alike. They could buy anything they wanted there and no one would ask questions about what it was for and who the purchasers were.

Xue Wei had his spiritual energy spread out to feel what was happening around him. He could sense that three groups of varying numbers were following them.

The first group had seven members, the second group had eleven people, and the final one only had five.

These twenty-three people did not act against them in the middle of the street and kept stalking them.

Also, every group had at most three Heavenly Warriors, so they were waiting for others to make the first move so they could be the fishermen that reaped the rewards.

”Should we be worried?” Xue Wei asked Bai Tianyi. The little boy, who was in truth the sword spirit, shook his head and smiled. ”We want to get their items, so let's lure them into a small alleyway,” he said with a grin.

Xue Wei nodded his head. He too wanted to test out a few new formations, and nothing was better for that than a large-scale battle.

”Let us go, then,” he smiled at the others who curiously nodded their heads. They could sense Xue Wei's fighting spirit. Wang Xiaoyun slowly took out her green fan while Hei Gou put on his claws.

As they reached an alleyway that was neither too big nor too small, but rather deserted, Xue Wei turned around and smiled at the air behind them.

”Come out now,” he grinned, taking out a piece of paper from his storage ring. ”You followed us for this long. Are you not interested in taking our belongings?”

The three groups stopped in their tracks. They looked among each other with great distrust. Who knew what might happen if all of them started fighting at the same time.

”If you won't begin, then allow me to start!” Wang Xiaoyun was not willing to kill humans if they had done nothing wrong to other humans, but these were the scum of society. These humans worked with primordial beasts if given enough incentive, and thus she saw no problems in clearing the world of their presence.
